NEW YORK, NY- Lest anyone wonder why we appear to be raising a generation of Marxist radicals, look no more than our institution of higher learnings.
This list even consists of a college that mainly teaches criminal justice. A John Jay College professor Erin Thompson provided pointers on social media on how to topple monuments faster, according to Breitbart News.
Thompson, who is an associate professor at the college, teaches something called “art crime,” whatever that is. Naturally, she is a graduate from the Columbia Law School, as well as having a Ph.D. in Art History likewise from Columbia, so that probably discusses her extreme ideology.
According to her biography, she says she is “America’s only full-time teacher in art crime.” Apparently, “art criminal activity” isn’t a real popular subject location.
In a true screen of paradox, her bio stated she studies “the damage done to humankind’s shared heritage through looting, theft and the purposeful damage of art.” One can only laugh.
In her tweet, Thompson said:
“I’m a professor who studies the deliberate destruction of cultural heritage and I just need to state … use chain instead of rope and it’ll go much faster.”

Gee, thanks Physician Obvious.
Her tweet got more than 93,000 retweets and in excess of 382,000 likes since Friday afternoon and was published in reaction to a video of anarchists pulling down a statue of Christopher Columbus in Minneapolis’ State Capitol previously this month.
Her bio continued in a paradoxical twist:
“Currently, I am looking into the methods in which terrorist groups both sell and ruin art to support their genocidal projects, along with the legalities and ethics of digital reproductions of cultural heritage.”
Breitbart said they connected to Thompson, who directed them to a current interview with the New York Times, where she said that the “damage of historic monoliths is totally typical.”
“Destruction is the standard and conservation is the uncommon exception,” she stated in her Times interview.
“I believe a great deal of individuals presume that given that I’m an art historian that I would want whatever preserved but I know that conservation is costly,” she stated.
She continued to mention the cost to preserve the “Quiet Sam” statue at the University of North Carolina, where angry triggered college students constantly attacked it.
“I take a look at these statues as money sink,” Thompson continued.
She likewise said that she took a look at desecration of statues as a method of embarrassment, not just damage, stating:
“… it’s a very gratifying way of assaulting a concept– not just by declining however humiliating it.
“These attacks reveal how deeply white supremacy is rooted in our national structure– that we need to question everything about the way we comprehend the world, even the past, in order to get to a much better future.”
Apparently the teacher thinks that destroying a statue of President Lincoln freeing the last servant, is somehow rooted in white supremacy.
This is who is teaching our college trainees.
Thompson likewise excused the present attacks on monoliths as being different than what ISIS did when they destroyed historic artifacts in the Middle East, saying:
“ISIS was damaging monoliths of a tolerant past in order to attain a future of violence and hate.
“These protesters are assaulting symbols of a hateful past as part of defending a tranquil future,” Thompson said speaking of the anarchists damaging our heritage in the United States. “So, I believe they’re exactly opposite responses.”
Thompson could not, however describe how the attacks on figures of people such as George Washington, previous President and Union Army basic U.S. Grant, Catholic Saint Junipero Serra, and so on relates to “assaulting signs of a despiteful past as part of combating for a serene future.”
That is since she can’t. The damage of whatever and anything having to do with our past and heritage as a nation is under attack, basically because these anarchist insurrectionists dislike the United States and want to transform int into a third-world Marxist paradise.
In concluding her New York Times interview, she stated that she thinks, “What is taking place now with statues being taken down didn’t have to happen this method,” and surmised that this has resulted as a result of previous “peaceful” protests against such monoliths “have come to absolutely nothing.”
Breitbart said they connected to John Jay College of Wrongdoer Justice; nevertheless, they did not respond. It is the height of hypocrisy however for this professor to make money to teach criminal justice students while at the very same time advocating for those who, were these trainees to be worked with as policemans, would attack them for doing their jobs. The irony is mind-boggling.
This woman would be better served mentor gender studies majors at Smith College rather of criminal justice trainees at one of the most prestigious criminal justice institutions in the country.
A University of Alabama Birmingham college professor also took to Twitter to tell protesters how to effectively pull-down monuments.
@TuesdayAgency is the company that handles @indyfromspace/ terrorist Sarah Parcak speaking tours. It’s time to turn up the heat & & ask WHY does @TuesdayAgency represent a TERRORIST that prompts riots and requires damage of public & & personal property? https://t.co/k3kIY3YLLG pic.twitter.com/v2WGetFK3i

The Washington Times said that Sara Parcak, who is something called an “Egyptologist” focusing on ancient architecture stated she was a specialist on obelisks, which is the shape of the renowned Washington Monolith in Washington, D.C.
Finding bigotry everywhere is a trademark of leftist college professors, and Parcak is no exception, keeping in mind that obelisks “may be masquerading as a racist monolith.”
Parcak coached rioters on how to tear down monuments while networks were covering the chaos in Washington, DC back on June 1.
PSA For ANYONE who might be thinking about how to pull down an obelisk * safely from an Egyptologist who never ever in a million years believed this advice may can be found in useful
* might be masquerading as a racist monument I dunno

“PSA for ANYONE who may be interested in how to take down an obelisk * securely from an Egyptologist who never ever in a million years believed this suggestions may come in convenient,” she said.
Here’s a rough schematic. I note this is speculative archaeology in action! Simply my expert Hot Take and you might need more individuals, longer rope, and so on everything depends on monument size. pic.twitter.com/lzl55CSPNt

She published numerous tweets suggesting how protesters might topple obelisks such as the Washington Monolith, which undoubtedly would be too high to topple, however there are various monuments in the nation that mirror it.
“Simply keep pulling till there’s excellent rocking, there will be increasingly more tilting, you have to wait more for the obelisk to rock back and time it to pull when it’s concerning you. Don’t stress you’re close,” she tweeted. Community standards on Twitter? Just for conservatives, not for anarchists.
Having second thoughts on her post, Parcak eventually tweeted, “ALSO PLEASE DO NOT PULL-DOWN WASHINGTON MONOLITH.”

The usual suspects, if you will, responded to Parcak’s tweet, thinking that she was giving suggestions on how to fall Confederate monoliths.
She tweeted:
“There may be one simply like this in downtown Birmingham! What a coincidence. Can somebody please show this thread to the folks there.”
Reports in Birmingham suggested that one statue, that of Confederate Naval Captain Charles Linn was torn down using ropes, as Parcak recommended in her tweets.
Naturally, feeling her white guilt and privilege, Parcak excused not speaking out formerly about perceived injustices dealing with blacks in America.
“As much as I love archaeology and Egyptology, we need to acknowledge– esp now– their deeply racist, colonialist and nationalist roots– and ongoing practices. It is a field that has actually triggered and continues to trigger massive harm (see DNA research). We can all do so far better,” she tweeted.
The Washington Times reached out to the university, which of course punted and didn’t answer the concern when asked if Parcak would retain her position at the university.
Tyler Greer, public relations director for the university, said:
“These are not the viewpoints of the university. Our 45,000+ trainees, faculty and personnel frequently use social networks to reveal thoughts that do not necessarily show the voice of the university.
“If a public comment by a member of the school neighborhood requires to be attended to by Student Affairs or Person Resources, it would be. Personnel and student conduct matters are addressed independently between the private and the institution.”
One need to question what would occur to a more conservative professor revealing a different kind of public remark.
