A liberal university professor writing under the pseudonym was lambasted as an abusive racist by social justice activists on Twitter, after he accurately quoted another liberal activist’s tweet. (RELATED: Liberal Students Are Terrifying Their Own Professors)
In an op-ed for Vox.com called “I’m a liberal professor, and my liberal students terrify me,” the author laments the state of modern campus liberalism, debate-stifling political correctness and “triggering” concerns, and the emphasis of feelings over reason. As evidence of the latter, he linked to a tweet from artist and cultural critic Zahira Kelly that literally dismissed science as racist.
most "scientific thought" as u know it isnt that scientific but shaped by white patriarchal bias of ppl who claimed authority on it.

The author, writing under the pseudonym “Edward Schlosser,” was actually overly kind, saying “Kelly is intelligent. Her voice is important.” But even that didn’t save him from the wrath to come.

Will Vox and Edward Schlosser, whoever he really is, answer for their unethical and reckless bullshit? People need to get fired over this

I'm beyond tired of seeing shit like this. Vox might call it a "mistake" when they assisted some asshole in offering a WoC up for harassment

Reading @bad_dominicana's TL enrages me. She is unfairly cited and attacked by a pseudonymous author and now has to defend her EXISTENCE. .

@msnbc maybe @ezraklein should explain why he finds it okay to let anonymous journalists who can't be held culpable abuse Black women online

So yes, apparently accurately and directly quoting a person is now “cowardly,” “abuse,” “paranoid,” and “white supremacist,” merely because the author didn’t ask for permission to use quotes blasted out to the entire Internet.
It’s also worth noting that for all the racism accusations, the Vox op-ed never actually says what the anonymous professor’s race is.
