So sad this is needed.
They have also collected data on the effects of these campaigns by Turning Point USA and its allies. 7/ www.aaup.org/academe/issu...

So even as we condemn political violence, we need to be clear of the legacy of Turning Point USA. Those who are whitewashing its work as a “free speech and debate” organization are willfully obscuring the truth. 8/
And we can do two things at once: speak out against political violence AND far-right campaigns to intimidate, harass professors and get faculty fired for their viewpoints. 9/
We could do two things at once, but this one is closing in to prepare to defend myself. I check off several checkmarks these cunts use to define a kill worthy reason, and I'm not going to sit there and act pacifist while some idiots are chomping at the bit to make me another Matthew Shepard.
I don't wish harm or violence on any person or animal but I will also admit that Kirk was a very hateful person.
In fact, those in the mainstream media and Democratic Party who are willfully evading the history of Turning Point USA at this moment are giving cover and credibility to its work. 10/
I had no idea. Thank you for your post. Good info.
Thanks for speaking out. Today, as on all days. Glad to see at least AAUP noted this.
We need laser like clarity right now: political violence is abhorrent and so is the work of Turning Point USA. 11/
I googled the list the other day. It's still there. It's abhorrent! It sickens and angers me!
I'd like to use this for my blog. I have questions as well intertwined with this. Is there an unthread link for this? Can I message you some questions?
this is bad. I am sorry it happened to you. I hope you are able to heal your trauma.
Thank you for sharing this important information. Bullies never grow up.
And Robert E Lee
I saw these groups in action close up 7 years ago. I know what they are. And I can speak out against cold blooded murder at the same time. It’s not hard to do. 12/
So very sorry & having this president ramp up the violence level is chilling & shouldn’t be tolerated 💔
Thank you for sharing this!
You are the second person I’ve read about being on the list and harassed. Despicable.
Thank you for speaking up
Thank you
Amen.
"Willfully obscuring the truth." Otherwise known as knowingly and maliciously lying to advance a fascistic and terroristic agenda, and to silence those in opposition to their fascist and terroristic agenda.
