This Professor Trolled Sandy Hook ParentsAnd His University Wants Him Gone
James Tracy, who taught a course chock-full of conspiracy theories at Florida Atlantic University, reportedly harassed parents of a Sandy Hook child, demanding proof of his death.
Florida Atlantic University announced on Thursday it planned to fire tenured professor James Tracy for allegedly harassing parents of the victims of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary that left 20 children and six adults dead.
After years of Tracy stating that the massacre was a government conspiracy, the professor reportedly sent a certified letter to Lenny and Veronique Pozner demanding they prove that their deceased 6-year-old, Noah, ever existed.
When the family notified the police of the harassment, Tracy responded on a Sandy Hook Hoax Facebook page, claiming that the family had made out very well for itself financially from the tragedy.

None are bothering the parents of a murdered 1st grader asking them to prove he was alive and saying they "profited" from the whole thing.

The hatred of reality forces the weak-minded to create non-real constructs.
