It goes without saying that liberal instructors on college campuses are known for making out-of-pocket statements to their students. In one example, professors at Columbia University came to the defense of students who were openly, shamelessly pro-Hamas.
This week, a university instructor was caught on camera in the classroom advocating for violence against men.
An instructor at the University of Kansas was placed on administrative leave after he was captured on video stating that men who do not vote for Vice President Kamala Harris should be “lined up and shot.”
The remarks were captured on video and circulated online.
"(If you think) guys are smarter than girls, you've got some serious problems," the professor in the video stated.
"That's what frustrates me. There are going to be some males in our society that will refuse to vote for a potential female president because they don't think females are smart enough to be president. We could line all those guys up and shoot them. They clearly don't understand the way the world works."

He then asks that line to be cut from the recording so the dean doesn't find out.

The University of Kansas issued a statement confirming that the staff member was placed on leave as a result.
“The university is aware of a classroom video in which an instructor made an inappropriate reference to violence. The instructor is being placed on administrative leave, pending further investigation,” the statement read.
“The instructor offers his sincerest apologies and deeply regrets the situation. His intent was to emphasize his advocacy for women’s rights and equality, and he recognizes he did a very poor job of doing so. The university has an established process for situations like this and will follow that process,” the statement concluded.

CJOnline reported that Phil Lowcock is the instructor in the video. The outlet added that his staff page on the university’s website no longer exists. Fox News noted that he was director of International Student-Athlete Support and an adjunct faculty, health sport and exercise lecturer at the school.
