(CNN) If Donald Trump worked at my university in the UK, he would likely be fired for retweeting the Islamophobic posts of a far-right British group . If Donald Trump was at a teacher at the school that my children attended -- alongside Muslims, Christian, Sikhs, Hindus, and Jews -- he might be dismissed. As Donald Trump is not in the UK but is US President, at least for the near-future, he will not face such consequences. With his retweeting of Britain First, Donald Trump offered a platform of millions of supporters to a fringe, extremist group that can muster only a few dozen supporters for its marches. For one day he will no longer be tweeting as President of the United States.
