Quote:Joel Wendland-Liu, an associate professor of Integrative, Religious, and Intercultural Studies at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan, says the Republican Party is "starting to seem like" a "terrorist organization."

In an October 9 tweet, Wendland-Liu tweeted, “Is the Republican Party a terrorist organization? Starting to seem like it...especially since so few of them are actually denouncing right-wing terrorists right now who are openly supporting Trump."

Wendland-Liu follows multiple Communist Party accounts, many of which describe themselves as Marxist/Lenist organizations. Wendland-Liu has also retweeted the Global Times, a Chinese Communist Party propaganda outlet, and the official Communist Party USA account.

Campus Reform previously covered Wendland-Liu after he published opinion editorials in a Chinese Communist Party-owned media outlet.

Wendland-Liu liked a tweet posted on October 19th by a Chinese government official who denied the communist country's role in the mass genocide of the Uyghurs. On Tuesday, Wendland liked a tweet from another Chinese government official, the Chinese ambassador to the United Kingdom, which also downplayed China's role in the mass genocide of the Uyghurs.

In 2016, Wendland-Liu published The Collectivity of Life, a book that looks to "uncover a recurring critique of meritocratic individualism and reconstruct a counter-mythology that locates social mobility in collectivist experiences."

He is also an author for the People’s World, which, according to its website, "continues to feature Marxist analysis and opinion developed by the Communist Party as well as voices from other currents of the labor and people’s movements."

“The right to free speech and academic freedom allow faculty members to express their own personal view,” Mary Eileen, a member of the GVSU president’s cabinet, told Campus Reform.

Wendland-Liu did not respond to a request for comment in time for publication.

If the GOP seems to you to be a terrorist organization, then you are perhaps a Communist and your fear is not misplaced.

Grand Valley State U. is located just outside Grand Rapids, one of the most conservative parts of MI. Ask Bronco14. He'll tell you. Many very conservative religious sects in the area.

Holland, just west on the coast of Lake Michigan is a very conservative Dutch Reformed area. When we drove through the area one evening, it was hard to even find a gas station open. We joked that they roll up the sidewalks every evening.

To indoctrinate students.

But I have to wonder if GVSU knew that this clown was a commie when they hired him. Why would a conservative school hire a radical like him? Once hired, hard to get rid of leeches like this tool. Academic freedom, you know.

GVSU is still a state university. State universities have those departments. We all know what those departments do.

For a while it felt they knew their West Michigan market was conservative, that they were more a commuter school so tried not to get too political because they knew might lose those students. The past few years I've seen them spew a lot of more liberal nonsense. Plus their academic & athletic success has allowed them to pull in more Detroiter's.

Humanities departments are totally dominated by wacko Marxists. Hilarious stuff right here. These guys wrote a bunch of hoax peer reviewed papers.
