The professor then escalates his rhetoric to a shocking level, proposing violent retribution against those who disagree with his views. “We could line all those guys up and shoot them!” he exclaims, attempting to explain away his extreme comments with, “They clearly don’t understand the way the world works.”
Despite the seriousness of his remarks, the professor attempts to dismiss them as a joke. “Did I say that? Scratch that from the recording. I don’t want the deans hearing that I said that,” he quips, seemingly trying to downplay the gravity of his violent suggestion.

Parents and community members were quick to respond to the video, voicing their anger and concern over the state of higher education. One parent commented on social media, “My son goes to school there. I’m seriously considering having him go to another college. I want my money spent on education, not indoctrination. These ‘professors’ aren’t worth the money we waste on them. If they want to teach like this, they should go to Venezuela or China.”
Another disillusioned commenter wrote, “Embarrassed for my Alma Mater—the place I learned to eschew this type of unthinking barbarity is now promoting it. I’ll be encouraging friends and family to rescind any gifts to the Endowment and stop making them indefinitely into the future until this changes.”
A Kansas resident weighed in, expressing his disappointment with the direction his state’s educational institutions have taken: “It’s crazy how colleges have just turned into indoctrination centers… and it makes me sad that the state I was born and raised in is allowing it. Never thought Kansas would go this far left.”
Unfortunately, this isn’t an isolated incident for the University of Kansas. Back in 2013, another professor from the same institution, David Guth, made headlines after posting a controversial tweet in the wake of the Navy Yard shooting. Guth, a professor in the William Allen White School of Journalism, faced immense backlash for his incendiary tweet directed at the National Rifle Association (NRA) and their supporters.

“#NavyYardShooting The blood is on the hands of the #NRA. Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters. Shame on you. May God damn you,” Guth wrote. His tweet, which seemingly wished harm on the children of NRA members, sparked outrage across the country.
In response to the outcry, the University of Kansas placed Guth on administrative leave. At the time, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little released a statement explaining the university’s decision to distance itself from the controversy. Dean Brill also weighed in, clarifying that the move was not a punishment but a step to review the situation. Brill added that while professors have the privilege of expressing controversial opinions, this freedom must be balanced with respect for the rights of others.
As more parents grow concerned over the growing influence of radical ideas in schools, it remains clear that the issue of indoctrination in education is far from resolved. With incidents like those at the University of Kansas continuing to surface, many are left wondering just how far some educators are willing to go to push their political agendas—and how long parents will tolerate it.
