Michigan Professor Suspended After Suggesting Conservative Campus Speakers Should Be Killed
|
[Epoch Times] A university professor in Michigan has been placed on leave after declaring it would be "more admirable" to kill guest speakers who hold "transphobic," "racist," and "homophobic" views than to just shout them down.
You're a little early for that, Prof.
 Steven Shaviro, who teaches film and media studies courses at Wayne State University, took to Facebook to express his thoughts about "free speech on campus," claiming that he does not "advocate violating federal and state criminal codes."
You seem conflicted, Steven.
Nevertheless, the professor wrote that "right-wing speakers" deserve death because they are "precisely" invited by right-wing college groups with the intention to "provoke and incident that discredit the left" and give more publicity and validation to the "reprehensible views" they allegedly have.
Didn't your momma teach you, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me?"
"Protesters get blamed instead of the bigoted speaker; the university administration finds a perfect excuse to side publicly with the racists or phobes, [and] the international and national press has a field day saying that bigots are the ones being oppressed," Shaviro continued.
To help make his point, Shaviro cited the assassination of Symon Petliura by Jewish anarchist Sholem Schwarzbard in 1926 in the aftermath of Russian Civil War.
"The exemplary historical figure in this is The core of Schwarzbard's defense was to attempt to show that he was avenging the deaths of victims of pogroms,, who assassinated the anti-Semitic butcher Simon Petliura, rather than trying to shout him down," Shaviro wrote, apparently comparing critics of the radical left-wing race and sex ideologies to a war leader whose troops carried out deadly pogroms.
"Remember that Schwarzbard was acquitted by a jury, which found his action justified," he wrote.
The core of Schwarzbard's defense was that he was avenging the deaths of victims of pogroms, so perhaps not an apt comparison. Anyway, 'acquitted' is not equivalent to 'justified'.
The Facebook post caught the attention of Wayne State administrators, who took action and suspended Shaviro on Monday.
