Republicans Demand Indiana U. Fire Law Professor Who Celebrated Lindsey Graham’s Death
“Celebrating the death of anyone, regardless of political affiliation or ideology, is abhorrent and counter to the values of civility, respect, and basic human decency that Hoosiers hold dear”
This isn’t about comments. This law professor took the trouble to bake a cake and decorate it with a hateful message.

‘Vile’ cake backlash: Republicans demand IU boot professor who celebrated Lindsey Graham’s death
A pair of Republican Indiana U.S. representatives are demanding Indiana University fire a law professor after she sent a cake to deceased Senator Lindsay Graham’s Senate office with the message “congratudolences” on it.
According to the Indianapolis Star, Reps. Marlin Stutzman and Mark Messmer called Professor Elizabeth Booker Houston’s message “vile and cruel,” claimed it violated the IU handbook, and demanded Houston’s termination in a letter to the IU president and law school dean.
“Celebrating the death of anyone, regardless of political affiliation or ideology, is abhorrent and counter to the values of civility, respect, and basic human decency that Hoosiers hold dear,” the representatives’ letter reads. “This kind of hateful and insensitive rhetoric has no place at Indiana University and is appalling to see from someone who is employed by your institution.”
Stutzman and Messmer noted that if IU won’t fire Houston, it should answer whether it will “condemn her actions” … and if those actions “align with the university’s ethical standards and mission.”
Graham passed away July 11 at the age of 71.
