Public university’s ‘fascism’ teach-in targets TrumpPresident Donald Trump has fascist tendencies, is a misogynist, and his election victory has brought changes “not for the better,” several Cal State Long Beach professors told students Wednesday during a lunchtime teach-in on the campus quad.The remarks came during “Fascism: Past and Present,” the second of four “Reclaiming Democracy” teach-ins organized by College of Liberal Arts faculty members “concerned about developments before and after the November election,” said Teresa Wright, chair of the Political Science department.“We’re here today because a specter is haunting the world, and especially the U.S. and Europe, the specter of fascism and authoritarianism,” Wright said during her introductory remarks.The teach-in lasted for an hour and half and included three faculty presentations, about 10 minutes each, followed by five breakout discussions.
