The post was widely condemned as demeaning and cruel — not only because of its crude language, but because of what it symbolized: the growing contempt academia shows toward conservatives.
Mocking the Murdered
Strub’s social media history didn’t stop there. The Rutgers professor also mocked Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA founder who was assassinated earlier this year at Utah Valley University.
“Sorry to see Charlie Kirk didn’t make it,” Strub wrote. “I deplore gun violence & find it tacky to speak ill of the dead so tomorrow I’ll pay my respects by protesting in my diapers.”
A father of two had just been killed by a political sniper — and a Rutgers professor responded with mockery.
That wasn’t all. Strub also dismissed the assassination’s significance:
“I don’t actually think Charlie Kirk is going to be our Archduke Franz Ferdinand or Reichstag fire,” he posted. “Trump himself got shot last year and everyone forgot about it within a week. We just live in a violent dystopian hell and this is completely normal.”
Students Speak Out
Rutgers student Megyn Doyle, treasurer of the university’s TPUSA chapter, blasted the professor’s behavior in an interview with Fox News Digital.
“Professor Whitney Strub’s bias against conservatives is clear,” Doyle said. “Not only did he cowrite a defamatory statement against Rutgers Turning Point and defend an Antifa Professor, Whitney Strub mocked Charlie Kirk’s assassination.”²
Her statement echoes what countless conservative students have experienced nationwide — ridicule, double standards, and institutional silence.
Protected by “Academic Freedom”
Despite the outrage, Rutgers officials have taken no action. Instead, the university issued vague statements about “academic freedom,” leaving many to question whether that phrase now only protects the radical Left.
This isn’t the first time Strub has drawn attention for extremist rhetoric. He has attacked Jordan Peterson as engaging in “fascist trans-bashing,” and publicly boasted about visiting porn theaters. His online history is a running commentary of contempt for conservatives and glorification of far-left ideology.
Yet he remains comfortably tenured, paid by New Jersey taxpayers. Every paycheck he receives comes from families who send their kids to college hoping they’ll be educated — not demeaned.
The Bigger Picture
What’s happening at Rutgers is a reflection of a national crisis. Universities have spent decades pushing conservatives out of classrooms and faculty offices. The result? Campuses dominated by radicals who see patriotism as a punchline.
Now, professors like Strub feel emboldened to call conservative students animals — literally. His “cat” remark didn’t just insult; it revealed what many in higher education truly think: that conservatives are beneath them.
And Rutgers’ reaction made that message clear. The same week Strub mocked conservative students, the school announced it was “reviewing protocols” to protect faculty from harassment — not students being targeted by professors.
The Fight Ahead
This episode should serve as a warning to parents everywhere. While they pay tens of thousands of dollars in tuition, professors like Whitney Strub use taxpayer-funded platforms to smear conservative voices — and administrators look the other way.
Charlie Kirk spent his life fighting for students to stand up against this very culture of intolerance. Now, it’s up to the next generation of TPUSA members to continue that fight.
Because if the Left wins on campuses like Rutgers, they won’t stop there. The same ideology that mocks conservatives as “animals” will soon define every institution in America.
The question is simple: will conservative students stay silent — or will they stand tall, as Kirk taught them to do?
