Calls for genocide and resigns due to threats of violence. Update to this story.
Via The College Fix:
Drexel University’s George Ciccariello-Maher, best known for infamously tweeting out last year that all he wanted for Christmas was a “white genocide,” has resigned from his position citing a personal situation that “has become unsustainable.”
Philly.com reports the politics and global studies prof claims he’s endured “a year of harassment by right-wing, white supremacist media outlets and internet mobs,” as well as “death threats and threats of violence” against himself and his family.”
“Staying at Drexel in the eye of this storm has become detrimental to my own writing, speaking, and organizing,” he said.[…]
Most recently, Ciccariello-Maher made the news by suggesting that mass shootings in Las Vegas and Texas were due to the “power structure of whiteness.” Drexel had placed him on leave for similar remarks regarding the former incident.
