“People are dying. And if opposing the environment in which people are dying means that some MAGA-hat-wearing wanker doesn't feel ‘comfortable’ on campus or out in public, then so be it.'
Matthew Sears, an associate professor of classics and ancient history at University of New Brunswick, the oldest English-language university in Canada, drew criticism after posting on Twitter that anyone, including college students, who inspires shooters and mass gun violence should be called out, fired from their job and hounded from restaurants.
The thread continued to explicitly include political parties that attract the “white genocide crowd,” and those on college campuses who platform white supremacists under the guise of “free speech.” Kaveh Shahrooz, a Canadian lawyer who lived in Iran, commented on Sears’ tweet that he came from a place where “people literally die for free speech.”

On Sunday, a Canadian professor drew criticism for posting on Twitter that people who inspire shooters should be called out and harassed. CHARLY TRIBALLEAU/AFP/Getty Images Larry Sanger, the co-founder of Wikipedia, responded to one of Sears’ tweets by saying he could possibly get on board with prohibiting white nationalist Richard Spencer from speaking at a college campus. However, if Sears advocated for barring TPUSA communications director Candace Owens or conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro, Sanger said the professor had “a lot more explaining to do.”
