A former adjunct professor at George Mason University ignited a backlash on Twitter this week when he argued that Americans need to “actively topple” the government if Donald Trump wins November’s presidential election.
Former George Mason University instructor and academic David A. Walsh came under fire this week for a series of tweets in which he called on Americans to take down the government if President Trump wins reelection next week.
“Here’s the thing: if the worst-case scenario happens next week, Americans don’t need to just “protest.” They need to actively try to topple the government,” Walsh wrote in a tweet.
“Also worth noting that the military has already made it clear that in such a scenario, they’re not going to back Trump,” Walsh added.
Walsh’s faculty profile page is no longer active on George Mason’s website. In a cached version of Walsh’s faculty profile from October 10, he is listed as an adjunct faculty member. His faculty profile claims that he did his dissertation on the “far right and the origins of the American conservative movement.
In a tweet, George Mason Univesity said that Walsh no longer teaches at the university. Moreover, the university wrote that they don’t agree with Walsh’s statements.
“Contrary to earlier reports, @DavidAstinWalsh does not teach for @GeorgeMasonU nor is he a Mason faculty member,” the university wrote in a tweet. “He did teach one class as a part-time instructor last year, but he is no longer an employee of the University. That said, we do not agree with his statement.”

The key here is “Adjunct” and “Instructor”. Those are college-speak for substitute teacher.
You will notice that GMU erased all evidence of this clown pretty quickly.
Hunt him down and charge him with sedition and insurrection.
A lot of social justice jihadis are. That’s why many of those arrested in BLM / Antifa violence are teachers and professors. Or like the Berkley protests, led by the liberal academic elite.
‘Professor’, the kind of anti-American filth populating ALL the major colleges and Universities you send you kids to and pay the vermin handsomely to indoctrinate your offspring.
I said recently that while we here quibble and pick at each other over the precise definitions of "treason", "traitor", "insurrection" and other words, the bad guys are destroying our country.
Will FBI or AG say "Well, until he commits a crime such as violence or murder directly resulting from his views, we really can't start to do anything against him."
So he and the pop singers and actresses make their threats and egg on the mentally unbalanced followers who want to impress them (as the Reagan shooter for actress Jodie Foster).
But I heard Former Mayor Pete and Wolf Blitzer think he's sorta cute. To each their own.
I would be surprised if this chuckle head has ever been in a fist fight, ever been in a fire fight; but here he is advocating the violent overthrow of our government.
Come to my little town in Idaho and blab this crap and see what happens.
See my post #27
Ah, no—adjuncts now teach approximately 70% of all college courses. They are low on the totem pole part-time instructors, but not substitutes.
Here was this dufus’s profile when he was at GMU. (Still a PhD candidate at Princeton, doing his dissertation on the far right and the origins of the American conservative movement.)
Go ahead and try it Poindexter.
Right. I was born here and this is definitely my country. He should go to another country and topple that one. Be our guest.
That neck would snap like a twig.
The operative words are instructor and former.
He was not a professor and apparently is gone
LOL..Yes it would.
Oh, great. I see he now has his PhD and is a postdoc and lecturer at UVA (That means he’s on the faculty there now.)

And how does he propose the toppling of our government would be accomplished?
That's why I vote for atomic wedgies:
Pull his underwear up so far in back, that you can pull them over his head and put the waistband around his forehead.
OMG!!! That GAY PENCIL NECK still lives in his mommy’s basement!!
In my experience on FR, this sort of crap always comes from adjuncts - not from actual professors. (Not that I’m happy with all ‘actual professors, either.)
When you can’t actually achieve, I guess you succumb to thinking that you just need to make a lot of sensational noise to get attention and recognition.
