A professor at Texas State University was axed on Wednesday after a video of him allegedly advocating for political violence during a socialism conference went viral.

Tom Alter, a now-former associate history professor at TSU and member of Socialist Horizon, spoke at the online Revolutionary Socialism Conference 2025 on Sept. 7, according to screen recordings shared on X.

During his brief talk, Alter launched into a tirade about the “US Capitalist crisis” that he claimed is exacerbating issues like education, mental health and even basic infrastructure.
 
“What makes the current crisis an extra problem for capitalists is the willingness of people to fight back,” Alter said.

It gives me warm, fuzzy feelings to know whack jobs like this are teaching today's youth.  Notice, I did not say educating.

Just firing this guy isn't enough.
He should be blacklisted and banned from any teaching position at any level again.

As a matter of fact, that should be "the prescription" for about 75-80% of those holding teaching positions in grade schools, high schools, and colleges throughout the red and purple states of the country.

Considering that the performance of their students has been on a downward trend, I think it's time to get back to basics and eliminate a lot of the programming being done. That would involve removing a significant number of the 'true believers' and their useful idiots from teaching positions.
