One would think that college professors would be more careful in their public word choices than the rest of us mere mortals. “Trinity College Professor Johnny Eric Williams Thursday issued a public apology and said he was in hiding far from Connecticut as the campus reopened amid a furor over his recent controversial Facebook posts,” Katherine Megan reported in The Hartford Courant. “Williams said his posts were not a call for violence against white people, as some claimed when the posts spread across social media.”
