Professor Reportedly Says It’s ‘Far More Admirable to Kill a Racist, Homophobic, or Transphobic Speaker Than It Is to Shout Them Down.’ Professor Now Suspended — With Pay.

A professor from Wayne State University in Detroit wrote on social media that it’s “far more admirable to kill a racist, homophobic, or transphobic speaker than it is to shout them down,” WJBK-TV reported.

According to the school, the professor has been suspended — but with pay.

WJBK said the English professor — Steven Shaviro — penned a message this month on his personal Facebook page that addressed “right-wing” speakers being allowed on university campuses. The station said the message began with, “So here is what I think about free speech on campus.”

WJBK added that Shaviro also said, “Although I do not advocate violating federal and state criminal codes, I think it is far more admirable to kill a racist, homophobic, or transphobic speaker than it is to shout them down.”
