Wisconsin Professor, who Compared Scott Walker to Hitler, Teaches a Class on Scholar Activism

Share this article

As the College Fix reported:

Sara Goldrick-Rab, a sociology professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, caused a firestorm last month when she publicly compared her governor, Republican Scott Walker, to Adolf Hitler in a tweet.

She poured fuel on the flames by tweeting at incoming freshmen who were Walker supporters, encouraging them not to attend the school because of Walker’s education funding policies. Then, she apologized.

Now she’s promoting a class she’s teaching this fall on “scholar activism.”
