Julia Xu is a radical leftist student at Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, who serves on the college’s advisory board of the school’s Gender, Sexuality, and Attraction Initiatives and participates with Students for a Free Palestine.
Following the politically motivated murder of Charlie Kirk, Julia voiced her support for political assassinations as a way to silence political opponents.
In a social media post under the handle @bringbacktheguillotine, she said, “We need to bring back political assassinations.”
She continued, “I don’t feel bad and I don’t think that everyone deserves the right to free speech. Some people should be afraid to express their opinion in public.”
The Post contacted Xu, who appeared to backtrack, saying she apologizes and is “deeply remorseful” for her statements.
Although Oberlin condemned Xu’s apparent support of political violence, it does not appear that she will face any formal consequences.
Oberlin’s President Carmen Twillie Ambar said, “Last week, in an open letter, I wrote ‘there is no place for political violence in the America that I love.’ It threatens our sense of safety and well-being and it violates the sanctity of the nation’s civil discourse.”
“I want to emphasize that the views expressed in the student’s post do not reflect those of the faculty member who teaches the class referenced. Nor does the student’s post reflect the views of Oberlin College.”
The college has not addressed how it will keep conservative students safe on its campus in the face of a fellow student advocating for executions.
The Gateway Pundit has reached out to leadership at Oberlin and will update this story if they provide a comment.
