Rutgers Turning Point USA chapter launches petition to fire professor they call ‘Dr Antifa’Students at the Turning Point USA chapter at Rutgers University have launched a petition to remove what they call an “Antifa aligned” professor.”Our petition is to call on Professor Mark Bray to be fired from Rutgers,” Megyn Doyle, a student at Rutgers and the treasurer for the Turning Point USA chapter, told Fox News Digital Friday in an interview.”We believe that conservative students and political violence are very prominent now,” Doyle added. “And it puts conservative students at risk from such political violence. And when you have a teacher that so often promotes political violence, especially in his book, ‘Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook,’ which talks about militant fascism, which is on term with political violence. We believe that it puts conservative students at risk for antifa to come in.”The petition, launched on Thursday, reads, “We, the students of Rutgers University, are deeply concerned to learn that an outspoken, well-known antifa member, Dr. Mark Bray, is employed by the university.””Dr. Mark Bray, whom we call Dr. Antifa, wrote the antifa handbook, which is a guideline to what he refers to as ‘militant anti-fascism,’” it adds.”With the current trend of left-wing terrorism, having a prominent leader of the antifa movement on campus is a threat to conservative students on campus,” the page for the petition reads.Bray is an assistant teaching professor at Rutgers. He is the author of “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook,” “The Anarchist Inquisition: Assassins, Activists, and Martyrs in Spain and France,” and “Translating Anarchy: The Anarchism of Occupy Wall Street.”In “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook,” Bray wrote that “at the very least 50 percent of author proceeds will go to the International Anti-Fascist Defense Fund which is administered by more than three hundred antifa from eighteen countries.”
