You’d think someone who advocated for a “white genocide” on Twitter might feel an inkling of responsibility for the backlash he has faced. Unfortunately for George Ciccariello-Maher, a professor at Drexel, he clearly hasn’t.
After being blasted over his earlier comments, Ciccariello-Maher now claims sites like Campus Reform and The College Fix are part of a coordinated effort to unfairly attack left-leaning professors:
George Ciccariello-Maher, an assistant professor of political science, told The Triangle that it is vital to note that conservative outlets are “targeting professors and looking for anything.”
“The bigger question we need to understand is the actual machinery behind what’s going on right now,” he told the publication.
“We’re living in a moment in which organized and coordinated groups are attacking professors. And I was sort of, maybe, on the early end of this in this year. There are cases in the past, many cases. But we’ve since had more than a dozen cases of groups like Campus Reform, Turning Point USA, The Campus Fix [sic] and all these websites — Breitbart — and then up into Fox News targeting professors and looking for anything,” he added.
Ciccariello-Maher also defended Trinity College professor Johnny Eric Williams who was put on leave after appearing to endorse the notion that first responders to June’s congressional baseball shooting should have let the GOP lawmakers “f***ing die.”
Talk about not getting the point.
As someone who spends a good bit of time on this topic, I can say that Ciccariello-Maher is giving us way too much credit. We’re not that coordinated.
What happens is a leftist professor says something that makes you scratch your head. Maybe it’s stupid, maybe it’s evil, but it’s always something that causes alarm among people with an interest in the education of young adults. Then sites like Campus Reform and The College Fix get wind of it and write about it. CONTINUE AT SITE
