A man came into an undergrad Philosophy class on Gender, pulled out two knives and tried to stab the professor. Three people in hospital.
THIS WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN. 🤬💀
Canada has a MAJOR problem with right-wing propaganda and incitement to neo-fascist violence.

Kevin is lying. He lied to get in, he’s lying all thru this thread. He is a lying liar.
As one of the many U of T professors who spent the day and the evening in the encampment with OUR STUDENTS, I am calling him out. He is a disgrace to our entire university community.

Hello, prof of religion and politics here. 👋 I study evangelicals and I promise you that the groomer and sexualisation discourse is 100% projection. Countless studies show the prevalence of child sexual abuse in what is widely recognized as abusive indoctrination by evangelicals

Fwiw, a few of my secular friends also have this fear. It’s part of the US cultural matrix now, after over 50 yrs of concerted discourse about it.
I’d just like to remind folks of its roots in blood libel.
The politics of the discourse need to be grappled w, imo.
Just to be clear, Israel has trapped 1.4 million people, half of whom are kids, in a box and is bombing the shit out of them.
If you are not screaming about this, who tf are you? This is genocide in real time on yr fucking phone.
For the folks asking why the prof isn’t named here but his victims are, it’s because of UK law.

No. It is a pandemic. It’s just that we have absolutely no experience of how horrific they are irl, and all the appalling knock-on social, economic and political effects. This is what they do. They literally bring down entire civilizations.

Get a grip Matt. This is the right word, as this is exactly, precisely what is happening in Gaza. And intent, the hardest aspect of any genocide case, is evident. There is consensus among the 100s of experts who've affirmed it, there's the ICJ Preventative Measures. IT'S GENOCIDE

Kevin is inciting violence against our students with his libel. It’s the playbook being used in the US. Use racist lies, smears and insinuations, end with police shooting guns at students.
It is DANGEROUS!
This is the reality:
Things I observed at the pro-Palestinian encampment at UofT:
- Pair of guys playing football
- babies running around
- lineups to hand out food
- food drop-offs for individuals
It's not quite the picture of fear that some will paint it to be. Lots of community.
I strongly oppose f’wits doing armchair diagnoses and trying to rescript and depoliticize a time-honored political act.
Fuck off into the sun w your liberal moralizing.
I strongly oppose valorizing any form of suicide as a noble, principled, or legitimate form of political protest. People suffering mental illness deserve empathy and respect, but it is wildly irresponsible to praise them for using a political justification to take their own life.

This is my 15th year as a college professor. I’m not naive to or surprised by any of its agendas or devices yet, thanks to the “leadership” of my university, this has been the most repulsive and devastating two weeks of my entire career. I won’t recover. Neither will they.
