In a chilling display of ideological derangement, a political science professor at The New School in New York City took to the podium at a Democratic Socialists of America meeting to champion the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and declare her desire to see the United States brought low.
Corinna Mullin’s “Islamic Revolution Teach-in” wasn’t an academic exercise in nuance—it was a brazen endorsement of America’s enemies wrapped in the language of class struggle and anticolonialism.
This isn’t the isolated rant of a fringe activist. It’s a window into the moral inversion that has captured significant portions of American higher education, where terrorist organizations are recast as defenders of the working class and the world’s most powerful republic is painted as the ultimate oppressor. Mullin, who previously led destructive anti-Israel protests at CUNY that caused millions in damage, now teaches at The New School after her reinstatement following termination.
During the hour-and-a-half session, Mullin praised Iran’s military for depleting U.S. weapons stockpiles and claimed the regime had achieved “phenomenal results” through its indigenous industry.
“We need to bring the empire down by any means necessary,” she declared, framing Iran’s actions as a blow against American power. She went further, defending the IRGC—a U.S.-designated terrorist organization responsible for the deaths of countless innocents, including Americans—as a protector of workers and the embodiment of resistance.
