Soldier one of his comments quote im trying not to vomit or yell about mosul now because of a lot of outrage that professor is clarifying the message that he was intending to send. Our jeff cole is live on drexels camphors night in university city. Jeff . Reporter his name is george sick reel low maher. He complained today actually that his commens were run through he said what he call the outrage machine but here on the drexel campus many students seemed outraged at him. With simmering towers and bustling street drexel has the appearance of university on the rise a place known for its focus on technology and the future. But its associate professor of Political Science george sick carell low maher bringing a different kind of attention. Controversy. I think he should be more fare full with what he says publicly because, you know, as politics professor expect them to love our country and respect what people do for it. Students were surprised to learn he tweeted this some guy gave up his first class seat for uniformed soldier. People are thanking him. Im trying not to vomit or yell about mosul. Mosul is the last strong hold for isis in iraq. Iraq keen u. S. Forces are battling to clear it. So very loaded tweet and id say its disrespectful for any Service Member or people in general. I think he should respect our military. They give everything for us, and the least they can do to give up a seat on the plane. Reporter drexel declined to provide anyone to speak on camera today. Earlier this day it released a statement and then revised it. Putting out one with far more detail.

Those who did claim to demand respect for troops show little respect for how they are treated in and out of the military. Now, the associate professor says his statements have nothing to do with Drexel University. But the email did come on a drexel email.
