Viva la France? Leftist student leader at Oberlin calls for return of ‘political assassinations’
A lot of violence-promoting hate language has erupted across America since the politically motivated assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk in Utah a week ago.
One of the more egregious comments has come out of Oberlin’s student body.
That school, which has a documented history of attacking innocent people, and paying the damages, now has disavowed the comments from student Julia Xu, who insisted, “We need to bring back political assassinations.”

A report at the Gateway Pundit described Xu as “a radical leftist student” who is on the college’s board for “Gender, Sexuality, and Attraction Initiatives” and supports “Students for a Free Palestine.”
She was posting on social media under the slogan “bringbacktheguillotine.”
The New York Post noted how she admitted her “learnings” were influenced by China’s dictator.
Xu later told the Post she was “deeply remorseful” for her agenda of violence.
School officials said Xu’s comments don’t reflect the opinions of the class or the school, but there was no evidence she would be facing any punishment.
The school’s record of attacking innocent bystanders includes the case of the Gibson family-owned bakery near the campus.
The school and its faculty made false accusations of racism against the bakery and its owners, and lost in court, ending up paying more than $36 million in defamation damages.
