A Wayne State University (WSU) professor was suspended with pay after writing on Facebook that it is more “admirable” to kill a right-wing speaker than it is to shout them down on a college campus, The New Guard reported.

Steven Shaviro, a College of Liberal Arts and Sciences professor, wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday that while he does not “advocating violating federal and state criminal codes,” it is “far more admirable to kill a racist, homophobic, or transphobic speaker than it is to shout them down,” according to the New Guard. The professor was reportedly placed on leave and the incident was reported to law enforcement agencies for review.

“When right-wing groups invite such speakers to campus, it is precisely because they want to provoke an incident that discredits the left, and gives more publicity and validation to these reprehensible views than they could otherwise attain,” Shaviro wrote, according to a screenshot of the new deleted post. “These protesters get blamed instead of the bigoted speaker; the university administration finds a perfect excuse to side publicly with the racist or phobes; the national and international press has a field day saying that bigots are the ones being oppressed, rather than the people those bigots actually hate being the victims of oppression.”


Citing the 1926 assassination of a Ukrainian official by Scholem Schwarzbard, Shaviro wrote, “Remember that Schwarzbard was acquitted by a jury, which found his actions justified.”

A screenshot of the now-deleted Facebook post is circulating on social media:

WSU President Roy Wilson responded to the post in an email on Monday, writing, “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.”

  1. How about killing your self you pos garbage trash of a skin AND HE IS A TEACHER THE GARBAGE THAT THAT UNION DIP IN OUR SCHOOL

    UNIONS SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED AND THE GARBAGE THAT BRING WITH IT SHOULD BE THROWN IN THE GARBAGE CAN

  2. He voiced publicly what every democrat wants…to kill those who have good moral values, worship God, support the constitution and support rational common sense laws. He should be fired and not be allowed to ever teach again.

  3. Speaks volumes of how vile and disgusting these libTARD scumbags really are, DEMONcrates are destroying our society and sadly we are letting the scum do so. Absolute devils

  4. Suspended WITH pay …..looks like this ” fine” institute of ” higher learning” supports this pigs opinion . If he had said the same about blacks, muslims ,transgenders ,democrats and the like , he’d have been booted WITHOUT pay and NO job either.

  5. He is avocating killing people who disagree with the woke left….he should be put in jail not suspended with pay, what a bunch of assholes that run this so called school of higher education

  6. Well that teacher thing just hasn’t ran into the wrong opposite yet… the price of evil always pays twice as much as a slot machine…

  7. This professor is trying to do the very thing of which he accuses the right, which is using reprehensible speech to goad the other side into extremist actions for the purpose of his own publicity and ideological aggrandizement. People with such totalitarian mindsets do not deserve to teach.
