Mark Bray, a professor at Rutgers University known as “Dr. Antifa,” has announced his relocation to Europe following threats made against him and a student-led petition calling for his firing. Bray, who teaches anti-fascism and is the author of “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook,” stated he would move his classes online for safety after receiving death threats, one of which included his home address. The petition from the campus chapter of Turning Point USA labeled his presence a danger to conservative students, citing concerns about “left-wing terrorism” and his calls for militant action against mainstream conservative figures. Rutgers University acknowledged the petition and is monitoring the situation. Bray’s work discusses the history and rationale behind anti-fascism, arguing that its purpose is to prevent the rise of fascism rather than to suppress free speech. The article also notes past controversies involving another Rutgers professor, Todd Wolfson, who has faced backlash for his political comments.
