Found here (http://gawker.com/professor-suspended-over-threatening-game-of-thrones-1564357810).
At the meeting, Schmidt explained the shirt in the context of Game of Thrones and showed Miller that the "fire and blood" tagline has 4 million results on Google. The professor asked why his photo had caused such a reaction, and was told that "fire" could be a metaphor for "AK-47s."

Generally i take fire to be a reference towards what matches, lighters, serious friction, and lightning causes. Generally since that is what the word fire refers to, fire. As far as guns go, it only refers to pulling the trigger, which yet again, involves fire...because of gun powder getting ignited. The word fire never referred to makes and models of guns. I guess people didn't feel like researching game of thrones.
Before anyone does anything about, why does he have his boss and other work people on his google +. It probably became a requirement for working there (if not that, then we have to remember that google+ doesn't let you private your account). "He wouldn't have been in this mess in the first place had he not posted a picture of his daughter, he is partly to blame", why yes he is to blame for posting a picture. However he is not to blame for simply posting a picture on google+ for ending up in this situation when some dumb ***** had it out for him and other faculty for a while. I think something more sinister could have been done if you easily want to get rid of someone. Don't do something completely moronic instead.
Now, if you loved getting high off of shrooms. Or, just had a shirt referencing it, expect to lose your job because shrooms could be a reference to a nuclear bomb going off :nod:

I think the person that actually needs a psychiatric evaluation is whoever was paranoid enough to think that T-shirt is threatening.
Seriously, that can't be healthy.

Probable the Dean is out of touch with current pop culture. Also why the prof in question was friends with people from work on Google+ is an assumption.
-
True that, why i also listed a reminder that google+ doesn't let you private your account.

Going to feel pretty foolish when the fellow shows up with eunuch hoplite legions and fire breathing dragons instead.

for the record Google+ has very robust tools for choosing who you share what with, it's sort of it's central, defining and distinguishing feature.

From what I hear the school had already been suffering some friction between faculty and administration. I'm pretty sure this was just an excuse to fire him, not any actual fear of a threat.

Yep, that's pretty much the impression I took away from the article.

Yeah. If you are out of favor with the management, they can try to fire you for a number of silly reasons.

They'll probably eventually get rid of all of the faculty and cycle in new ones who'll play ball. The students will lose in the end. Administration doesn't mind doing moronic things since it appears that they are morons.
