An English professor at Wayne State University, Steven Shaviro, says the Stanford hecklers who disrupted Judge Kyle Duncan didn’t go far enough. It is “far more admirable,” Steven Shaviro noted, to “kill” transphobes instead of shouting them down.
This is 2023, where teachers lose their livelihoods for ‘misgendering,’ but it’s acceptable for educational institutions to incite pupils to murder dissidents.
This is what he posted after a guest speaker, a professor, was shouted down at Stanford for his views:
“I think it is far more admirable to kill a racist, homophobic, or transphobic speaker than it is to shout them down,” he began. He concluded, “The exemplary historical figure in this regard is Sholem Schwarzbard, who assassinated the anti-Semitic butcher Symon Petliura rather than trying to shout him down. Remember that Schwarzbard was acquitted by a jury, which found his action justified.”

Wayne State University President M. Roy Wilson suspended Professor Shaviro pending a police investigation. He found his comments “morally reprehensible and, at worst, criminal.”
