Professors under Attack in George Floyd Protest Era

Naturally, such scrutiny evades professors who cheer on violence and property damage. When vandals in Madison, Wis., pulled down a statue of famous abolitionist Hans Christian Heg, who died fighting against the Confederate army, Sami Schalk, professor of gender and women’s studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, cheered the lawless rioters on. “Destroy them all,” Schalk tweeted, adding, “People over property. Always.”
