Professor espouses extreme measures

Campus Reform shone the spotlight this week on Washington State University Professor David Leonard, who, in a recent Huffington Post op-ed, called for “the abolition of prisons, the Electoral College, and implementation of universal healthcare as reparations for America’s ‘history of racist violence,’ ” the group reported.

“He argued that “solutions are a-plenty” from “dramatically changing the tax code and increasing minimum wage” to “prison abolition” and/or even adopting a “single-payer national health system.”

Leonard also listed the abolition of the Electoral College, passing of the Dream Act, and dramatically changing the tax code, as solutions that “would take us on a path toward… racial reconciliation.”

Campus Reform also found Washington State University officials not only had no problem with these views, but supported them:

A spokesperson for WSU, David Watkins, told Campus Reform on Wednesday that the school welcomes such views from their faculty.

“We find that those that are the most extreme… these commentaries tend to foster debate and conversations among students,” said Watkins.
