Overview

• Mark Bray said airline staff told him at Newark that his family’s reservations had been canceled just before boarding, and he later reported being rebooked for Thursday evening.
• Bray had planned to relocate to Spain and continue teaching remotely after his home address was posted online and he received death threats, including one vowing to kill him in front of students.
• A Rutgers chapter of Turning Point USA launched a petition branding him “Dr Antifa,” accusing him of being a movement “financier,” and calling for his removal following Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
• Bray, who wrote the 2017 book Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, says he researches anti-fascist movements but is not a member of any antifa group.
• Rutgers said it is committed to campus safety, the AAUP and colleagues condemned the petition as an attack on academic freedom, and President Trump signed an executive order labeling antifa a domestic terrorist organization.
