Feigned outrage against Marshall DeRosa, a professor of political science at Florida Atlantic in Boca Raton, has now taken predictable forms.\u00a0\u00a0Nietzsche observed that a successful war can be used to justify any cause.\u00a0\u00a0At Florida Atlantic, even going after an implausible victim can provide sadistic satisfaction to bullying students and faculty.<\/p>\n

Professor DeRosa\u2019s picture has been plastered on the walls of college buildings by supposedly concerned students with demeaning messages that he\u2019s a \u201cwhite supremacist\u201d and that his presence on campus is an outrage \u201cdemanding action.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0In my opinion, it\u2019s ridiculous to describe those engaged in these defamatory actions, as some commentators do, as \u201csnowflakes.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0They are dangerous thought police, who in this case have targeted a thoroughly decent teacher.<\/p>\n

Marshall is someone I have known for decades and who has suffered unbearable personal tragedy.\u00a0\u00a0Last fall, he lost a brilliant son of twenty-seven, who practiced law in Boca, when a car struck him from behind while he was loading his parked vehicle.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>Leading to these attacks was, among other factors, Marshall\u2019s acceptance of a Koch grant to teach prison inmates in a nearby correctional institute.\u00a0\u00a0We know that academic recipients of Koch funds have been targeted by the left elsewhere \u2013 for example, at the\u00a0Eudaimonia Institute<\/a>\u00a0at Wake Forest University.\u00a0\u00a0Those who are \u201couted\u201d as beneficiaries of Republican foundations can now expect to see all hell break loose on their heads, once academic agitators and their groupies organize against them.<\/p>\n

As someone on the right who never received such a grant, I too…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
