"Controversial Professor Resigns Amidst Shooting Remarks and School Controversy"

Wake Forest University professor, Laura Mullen, resigned from her position after facing backlash for a tweet in which she expressed temptation to shoot dance parties like the one Hamas committed in Israel. Mullen claimed that her employer threw her to the wolves and felt let down by the university. This incident is part of a larger trend of anti-Israel sentiment on college campuses, with professors and students facing consequences for their social media posts. In a separate incident, a trainee doctor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine faced criticism for implying deliberate harm to a patient on social media. The school defended the trainee doctor, stating that her claims did not reflect the incident and that she had followed guidelines correctly. Another controversy involved a tenured English professor who was placed on leave after posting explicit photos of himself online.
