Share this article

A demoted professor can still make like a “public intellectual.”

“The Drexel University professor who tweeted ‘all I want for Christmas is white genocide’ recently blamed ‘whiteness’ for the Texas massacre that killed 26 people,” Toni Airaksinen reports on the Campus Reform blog. “George Ciccariello-Maher, who is currently in exile from Drexel’s campus and is only teaching online classes, argued in a Democracy Now! interview Monday that ‘whiteness’ and white ‘entitlement’ is the motivating factor behind mass-shootings.”
