Indian-American prof fired for joke about Iranian bomb list of US sites

An Indian-American professor, who posted a joke on Facebook about Iran choosing 52 US cultural sites to bomb, has been fired by his college.

Babson College said Asheen Phansey was fired because the post on his “personal Facebook page does not represent the values and culture of the College”, according to WBZ television.

He had apologised for the post last week calling it “sloppy humour” that was “read as a threat”.
