A Wake Forest University professor has resigned after saying she would be “tempted to shoot up” dance parties like Hamas terrorists did on Oct. 7. Wake Forest University Professor Laura Mullen entered a since-deleted entered media post just days after Hamas’ surprise attack killed around 1,200 people, including hundreds at the Supernova Music Festival. “So it’s kind of a Duh, but if you turn me out of my house, plow my olive groves under and confine what’s left of my family to the small impoverished state you run as an open-air prison, I could be tempted to shoot up your dance party, yeah, even knowing you will scorch the Earth,” she wrote, according to the Winston-Salem Journal.
The university told the Journal that while it “affirm[s] the right to individual freedom of expression,” the “posted comments caused significant anxiety and fear for members of our community.” “And to be clear: statements that diminish the value and dignity of human life or condone the use of violence are counter to the values inherent in the Pro Humanitate ethos of Wake Forest University,” the university said. Mullen eventually resigned, citing “personal reasons” — but made clear she felt like a victim because the school refused to stand by her.

Does Wake Forest's comment about violence mean that they are opposed to the Allies' actions in WWII?
