Morehouse President Robert M. Franklin to Resign

Written by HBCU Digest, Posted in Headlines, Leadership, Morehouse College

Morehouse College today announced that President Robert M. Franklin would resign effective June 30, 2012. Dr. Franklin will serve as Scholar-in-Residence at Stanford University’s Martin Luther King Jr. Institute with plans to return to Morehouse in the role of Distinguished Professor of Social Ethics, according to the school’s release.

The Morehouse Board of Trustees recognized his service this week by awarding Franklin with the College’s highest and most prestigious rank: President Emeritus and Distinguished Professor.

“I look forward to a sabbatical, during which I intend to travel, write, speak and interview leaders about the condition of black boys and men in the U.S. and around the globe, research that I began years ago in my book, “Crisis in the Village,” said Franklin. “I am grateful to the Board of Trustees for the invitation to return as President Emeritus and Distinguished Professor of Social Ethics, and the opportunity to continue supporting the mission of Morehouse in a different way.”

The college has already begun the search for its next president. Dr. Franklin will serve until Dec. 31, 2012 if no replacement is found by June.

It really saddens me to see Dr. Franklin leave this post, but I guess the power at be would not allow his traditional stance or mind set on the issue of homosexuality remain. You know Dr. King would be very dissapointed if he was living today to witness all of this homosexuality on Morehouse campus today. And you can’t speak out in any kind of way against or just voice your opinion (inwhich everyone suppose to be entitled too) without being labled as homophobic, or a hater of gays.So as you can see, they have replace this brother only because he wanted to curtail some of these little blind deaf and dumb brothers who were running around on campus with dresses on. That image does not properly represent the image of a Morehouse Man. I can speak freely because I am not a Slave, Only a Slave who is tied to the Slave Master’s crumbs that falls from his table ,and have to gO along with “THIS GABBAGE”. We can also see that they have replace Dr. Franklin with someone out of Pres. Obama’s Stable, He(Mr. John Wilson) will go along with the Effeminization of Our Boys With no Problem,(Take a g-o-od look at him)In fact, he has been given that position of Morehouse President to push the Gay Agenda. But I Guess He Is Not Aware That He is Sacrificing Our Future, INTERCEEDING INTO GOD’S PLAN FOR OUR Male Babies for the benefit of Satan’s dollars. But I must remind Mr Wilson and his cronies;they have a terrible price to Pay! Our Little Sister are not going to have much to chose from in the way of a “Real Man”. Real Brothers And Sisters Are going to have to take a stand against this immoral behavior, we should have never fell for the trick of incorporating this filthy lifestyle into the Civil Right Movement because we are some Unique People, (We are the Original People Of The Earth,they know it even if you don’t want to aknowledge it), and we came here to Amerikkka like no other people came; under”EXTREMELY HARSH CONDITIONS”.And because 0f Our Situation,and the Horrendous condition Slavery have left us in, our Issues have to be dealt with and resolved separately “WITH US AND BY US”!!! This Force Acceptance of Homosexuality is really another Form of Enslavement, because it extirpate The Black Family. Study The Teachings Of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad as being taught today by Our & YOUR Dear Minister
Farrakhan ;Separation Is The Only Solution”!!!!The Bible states that “WE MUST COME OUT OF HER”, EVERY PROPHET TAUGHT SEPARATION!!!
I Thank You.
