We send our kids to college hoping for the best. We trust that these storied institutions, draped in ivy and tradition, are still in the business of education. It’s the American dream, right? Or at least, it used to be. A good education was supposed to prepare the next generation to build on our Republic’s foundations, not arm them with the sledgehammers to tear it all down.
But a deep and insidious rot has taken root on campus. A nagging feeling has settled in for millions of citizens that these taxpayer-funded schools have become something else entirely: ideological factories for an anti-American worldview. And every so often, the curtain is pulled back, and we get a glimpse of the truth from a university’s own panicked memo.
From ‘Fox News’:
“The University of North Carolina has informed Dr. Dwayne Dixon, professor of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, that he has been placed on administrative leave, effective immediately, following recent reports and expressions of concern regarding alleged advocacy of politically motivated violence,” Vice Chancellor for Marketing and Communications Dean Stoyer said in a statement to Fox News Digital Monday afternoon.
So, who is the man at the center of this firestorm? The professor is Dwayne Dixon. The institution is the celebrated University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. And the “politically motivated violence” isn’t some abstract theory; it’s tied to Dixon’s active membership in an armed, far-left outfit called Redneck Revolt. This isn’t your local debate club. The group’s stated mission is to stand “against capitalism and the concept of the nation-state, including its symbols such as police, prisons, and courts.”
A Pattern of Radicalism
This is not a simple case of a professor with some edgy opinions. Dixon’s resume reads like a manual for political agitation. In 2017, he faced charges for having a weapon at a public rally and going armed to the terror of the people after being seen with a semi-automatic rifle. Those charges were, of course, eventually dropped—a familiar story for left-wing agitators, where consequences seem to be optional.
Dixon and his armed group also made an appearance at the infamous 2017 Charlottesville rally. He later recounted on a Harvard panel how he waved the murderer James Fields off with his rifle just moments before Fields committed his horrific crime. A year later, another charge—this time for simple assault—stemmed from the night left-wing mobs tore down the “Silent Sam” monument on UNC’s campus. Predictably, that charge was also dismissed.
The Violent Network Behind the Professor
And this is where the story spirals from campus activism into something far more sinister. Redneck Revolt is an offshoot of a more notorious organization: the John Brown Gun Club (JBGC). This network doesn’t just write angry blog posts; its members have a documented history of violence.
It was the JBGC that plastered Georgetown University with ghoulish flyers celebrating the assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk. “Hey fascist! Catch this!” they read, mocking the words allegedly found on the assassin’s ammunition. This group’s rap sheet is terrifying. A JBGC member, Benjamin Song, was charged with attempting to murder federal agents in an attack on an ICE facility. Another, Willem van Spronsen, was killed while trying to firebomb a separate ICE detention center, an act for which his allies praised him as a “martyr.”
The Deafening Silence
This is the club a tenured professor at a major American university proudly belongs to. This is the ideology being protected inside an institution funded by the hard-working people of North Carolina. You have to ask: where has the university been all this time? And where is the mainstream media? Just try to imagine the media explosion if a professor belonged to a far-right group with a history of trying to kill federal agents. You can’t, because the resulting outrage would break the internet.
When the ideology is far-left, however, and the targets are our laws, borders, and law enforcement, a predictable silence descends. The story is buried, treated as a minor campus dispute instead of the national security threat it represents. The double standard is not just infuriating; it’s dangerous.
Key Takeaways
- Far-left radicalism is flourishing within our taxpayer-funded university systems.
- Violent extremist groups on the Left often escape national media scrutiny.
- These radical networks pose a direct threat to law enforcement and America.
- Parents and taxpayers must demand accountability from our academic institutions.
