Stonehill College Prof’s Facebook Comments About Charlie Kirk Murder ‘Under Review’
“His claim that gun deaths were acceptable and should be tolerated in order to protect 2nd amendment extremism is an obvious irony”
The term ‘under review’ is meaningless. Nothing will happen here.

Stonehill professor describes assassination of Kirk as ironic, college says matter is ‘under review’
A Stonehill College educator has taken to social media to post an anti-Charlie Kirk tirade in the wake of the Turning Point USA founder’s assassination.
Corey Dolgon is a professor of sociology at Stonehill, a private university located in Easton, Massachusetts. According to his LinkedIn account, he has worked at the college for nearly 17 years.
“TBH, MY first instinct was ‘how dare we’ speak of empathy in the midst of a genocide,” Dolgon posted to Facebook on Sept. 11, just one day after Kirk’s assassination.
In a lengthy Sept. 18 Facebook post, Dolgon lambasted the murdered Kirk by highlighting what he calls Kirk’s “own violent extremism.”
“His claim that gun deaths were acceptable and should be tolerated in order to protect 2nd amendment extremism is an obvious irony,” said Dolgon, “but he supported Trump’s family separation and current deportation policies which have already resulted in torture and death to innocent people.”
In the same post, Dolgon clarified that he is not celebrating Kirk’s death. Rather, he is simply making a distinction between being against political assassinations and pointing out “vile behavior” he believes Kirk promoted.
Campus Reform reached out to Dolgon and asked if he would like to clarify any of his social media activity.
”You may have misunderstood my concern about empathy and genocide and if it was my miscommunication then I am sorry not to have been clearer,” he said. “My point was that people were criticizing others for not being empathetic ‘enough’ concerning Kirk’s murder but they ignored the deaths of 60,000 people in Gaza.
”This seemed hypocritical,” Dolgon explained. “Again, I mourn them all.”
Yet, a much older post on social media reveals an extreme anti-conservative sentiment.
“I only feel that way about the Republican deaths,” he said in an Aug. 23, 2020 Twitter post. “In fact all Trump supporter deaths are acceptable if not encouraged.”

Seems quite clear to me – the professor considered the killing acceptable, even worth encouraging, unless public scrutiny imperils his employment in which case clearly he was misunderstood.
The man has been institutionalized within Massachusetts for decades, let’s not be too hard on the poor unfortunate.
“Dolgon has won the Marxist Sociology Section’s Praxis Award…. He has also won the best book award from the Association for Humanist Society, the Marxist Section of the American Sociological Association.”
See? They practically have to clean his walls every day.
