Disgraced anti-Semitic Wake Forest Professor says university “threw her to the wolves by refusing to defend he so-called ‘poetic’ post supporting the killing of Jews”

Laura Mullen, a Wake Forest University professor has resigned after saying she would be “tempted to shoot up” dance parties like Hamas terrorists did on Oct. 7 — later whining about being a victim because horrified school officials did not defend her.

NY Post(h/t Marvin W) Wake Forest University Professor Laura Mullen sparked outrage with a since-deleted social media tweet (below) post just days after Hamas’ surprise attack killed around 1,200 people, including hundreds at the Supernova Music Festival.

Mullen said the tweet was “raw, direct, [and] poetic, in that it involved imagery.” 

The post sparked widespread condemnation, including angry letters from parents demanding the firing of the professor who was also the Kenan chair of the humanities in the English and creative writing department. “Students and parents alike have expressed concern for their safety in reaction to her hateful words.” 

“As Jewish students, we are alarmed and appalled that she is willing to make a joke of the massacre at the Supernova Music Festival that killed over 250 Israeli concertgoers,” the student board said. “Her threatening language plays into antisemitic sentiment, a problem that poses a threat to Wake Forest students and that has no place at our school.”

The university told the Journal that while it “affirm[s] the right to individual freedom of expression,” the “posted comments caused significant anxiety and fear for members of our community.”

“And to be clear: statements that diminish the value and dignity of human life or condone the use of violence are counter to the values inherent in the Pro Humanitate ethos of Wake Forest University,” the university said.

Mullen eventually resigned, citing “personal reasons” — but made clear she felt like a victim because the school refused to stand by her.

In explaining her post, Mullen said: “When 9/11 happened, I was asking myself and others, ‘What did we do to make people want to come and do that to us?’ That is how my mind works. “I don’t believe in clear lines between victims and perpetrators, that terrorism comes out of a vacuum,” she said, according to the Journal.

She also claimed that she received no personal backlash from students, and the mother of a Muslim student even offered her “any support you need.” (What a surprise. NOT.)

The Chabad chapter also insisted that “Jewish students now feel scared to take her classes” after the post by “a professor in a position of authority and influence.” “Any of us could have been one of those attendees, and many of us have relatives and friends who are in danger or have been killed in Israel in recent weeks,” the student group said of the massacre.

 Junior Andrew Orfaly, Hillel’s Religion and Education Chair, stated in response to Mullen’s comments that “as a result of all of the hatred outside of Israel and Gaza, my parents sat my siblings and I down and told us to tuck our Star of David and Mezuzah chains into our shirts.”  “I cannot help but fear for my life at school, an alleged ‘safe space,’” said Orfaly. 

Samantha Perrotta, Chief of Staff in the Office of the Provost, said that “while we are not aware of any threats to physical safety on campus, we are aware that some students, particularly Jewish and Muslim students, are feeling that their psychological safety has been threatened.
