Rectenwald: The Last Real Teacher In Our Liberal Schools
- An untenured prof of Liberal Studies, Rectenwald used the account to slam identity politics, trigger warnings, safe spaces and other hallmarks of the new campus left.
- He tweeted: “The scariest thing about Halloween today is .?.?. the liberal totalitarian costume surveillance.”
- NYU insists the ouster had “absolute zero to do with his Twitter account or his opinions on issues of the day.” The school could prove that by hiring a replacement who’s every bit as critical of the madness sweeping modern academia.

Last week, he was kicked out of his classroom (and put on paid leave for the rest of the semester) just days after going public.
An untenured prof of Liberal Studies, Rectenwald used the account to slam identity politics, trigger warnings, safe spaces and other hallmarks of the new campus left.
In mid-October, he saw a flyer telling students to avoid Halloween costumes that might offend, and tweeted: “The scariest thing about Halloween today is .?.?. the liberal totalitarian costume surveillance.”
His key mistake was outing himself in an interview with the student paper. Days later, a 12-member vigilante squad calling itself the Liberal Studies Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Working Group issued its fatwa, declaring him “guilty of illogic and incivility in a community that predicates its work in great part on rational thought and the civil exchange of ideas.”
Later that day, a rep from HR and his department dean lowered the boom.
NYU insists the ouster had “absolute zero to do with his Twitter account or his opinions on issues of the day.” The school could prove that by hiring a replacement who’s every bit as critical of the madness sweeping modern academia.
