Jeffrey Borrowdale, a philosophy instructor at Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon, made an appearance at a recent discussion of free speech and hate speech at the school. And a photo take of him taken with conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos turned up on Facebook. That was more than enough for the local Antifa chapter, Dan King writes.
Borrowdale is indeed the adviser for the school’s Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) chapter. He describes himself as a “bleeding heart libertarian, transhumanist, not a Nazi” and “a trans ally.” Antifa never elaborated on what views of Borrowdale’s justified its labeling of him as alt-right, other than the Milo photo.
“They’ve been trying to incite students against me since last fall when someone found the picture I took with Milo on Facebook,” he told Campus Reform on November 21.
Since then, Borrowdale said activists have been sending him threatening messages, publishing his personal information on social media, tearing down or defacing fliers for his YAL group and urging students to infiltrate and disrupt YAL meetings.
