(OutKick) Wayne State professor Steven Shaviro has been suspended after allegedly suggesting college protesters kill campus speakers they don’t like.
Stanford was recently engulfed by protests and chaos when federal judge Kyle Duncan was invited to speak to campus. Stanford University Law School associate dean of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Tirien Steinbach suggested Duncan’s speech was causing pain. She was later placed on leave, according to Fox News.
Well, Shaviro allegedly thinks Steinbach interrupting Duncan and causing a scene didn’t go far enough. He believes it’s “more admirable to kill” speakers you don’t like. Now, he’s been suspended without pay from Wayne State, according to Fox News.
Shaviro allegedly wrote the following on Facebook:
Police contacted about alleged Steven Shaviro post.
Shaviro might also have to answer some questions with the police because the university referred the post to authorities.
“We have on many occasions defended the right of free speech guaranteed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, but we feel this post far exceeds the bounds of reasonable or protected speech. It is, at best, morally reprehensible and, at worst, criminal. We have referred this to law enforcement agencies for further review and investigation. Pending their review, we have suspended the professor with pay, effective immediately,” Wayne State president M. Roy Wilson explained in a statement.
