A staff member at a Massachusetts college is out of a job after a controversial Facebook post suggesting Iran put a Kardashian's home and the Mall of America on its list of US cultural targets.
Asheen Phansey, who was the director of sustainability at Babson College, made the post Sunday on his personal Facebook page in response to President Trump's threats to target Iranian cultural sites."In retalliation, Ayatollah Khomenei should tweet a list of 52 sites of beloved cultural heritage that he would bomb. Um... Mall of America? ...Kardashian residence?" Phansey wrote. He has deleted the post, but his spokeswoman confirmed its contents to CNN.
"Based on the results of the investigation, the staff member is no longer a Babson College employee."As we have previously stated, Babson College condemns any type of threatening words and/or actions condoning violence and/or hate."In a statement provided to CNN, Phansey said the post was meant to be a joke between him and his friends.
