SAM JOECKEL WAS PUT ON A LEAVE OF ABSENCE FROM PALM BEACH ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY LAST MONTH AFTER HE WAS ACCUSED OF “INDOCTRINATING STUDENTS.”

His offense?

The syllabus included a unit on Racial Justice.

Now his contract has been terminated after teaching at the conservative Christian university for 21 years.

“Apparently, I was indoctrinating students, that’s what the dean of the school of liberal arts and sciences told me when I asked him to elaborate with what’s wrong with my racial justice unit,” Joeckel told WPBF.

The syllabus also included a unit on comedy and humor; and gothic and horror.

Joeckel told media outlets he’s taught the same unit on racial justice for 12 years without any complaints. After one parent complained this year, he was put on a leave of absence while a final decision would be made. Last week his contract was officially terminated. He was never told any specifics of the complaint, only that he was accused of “indoctrinating” students.

PBAU is located in West Palm Beach and is a private university.

The relationship between former President Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis turned stormy this week with each of them trading insults and barbs.

“Ron DeSanctionious will probably find out False Accusations & Fake Stories sometime in the future as he gets older, wiser, and better known, when he’s unfairly and illegally attacked by a woman, even classmates that are ‘underage’ (or possibly a man). I’m sure he will want to fight these misfits just like I do!” Trump posted on Truth Social.

Trump attached an unverified photo of what appears to be DeSantis partying with underage girls. In previous posts Trump accused DeSantis of “grooming” those girls.

But this is the first time he’s insinuated a man might be involved as well.

Over the weekend Trump posted on Truth Social that he would be indicted this week in New York City over the hush money payments in 2016 to Stormy Daniels, a porn star whom he allegedly had an affair with. Those payments sent his former lawyer Michael Cohen to prison.

Many Republicans quickly jumped to Trump’s defense attacking the prosecutor’s office, while DeSantis stayed silent.

On Monday DeSantis responded to the unfolding situation by attempting to play sides. He attacked the prosecution but also took a swipe at Trump.

“We are not involved in this, won’t be involved in this,” DeSantis said at a news conference in Panama City, Florida. “I have no interest in getting involved in some type of manufactured circus.”

DeSantis never mentioned Trump by name.

“Look, I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair. I just can’t speak to that,” he said to a chorus of chuckles. “But what I can speak to is that if you have a prosecutor who is ignoring crimes happening every single day in his jurisdiction, and he chooses to go back many years ago to try to use something about porn star hush money payments, you know, that’s an example of pursuing a political agenda, and weaponizing the office.”
