From the Washington Free Beacon: An investigator in Kansas State University’s civil rights office, which claims to foster an “environment free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation,” is part of a secretive Marxist book club that calls for the “total destruction” of Israel, hails the terrorist group Hamas, and defends the murders of Israeli civilians.
Derron Borders, who joined the university’s civil rights and Title IX office in May 2024, is a member of the Kansas Socialist Book Club, an anti-colonial Marxist group based in Manhattan, Kansas, the Washington Free Beacon has found.
The organization, formed in 2022, has embraced extremist views on Israel over the Jewish state’s response to the Oct. 7 attacks from Hamas. In a manifesto last year, the Kansas Socialist Book Club called for the “complete and total destruction” of Israel and expressed “unwavering support” for Hamas.
“We remain steadfast in our support of Palestinian liberation, whatever that ends up looking like,” the organization’s manifesto says. The group also defends the slaughter of Israeli civilians, referred to in the manifesto as the “Zionist middle class.”
“We have no sympathy for their casualties or losses,” proclaimed the club, which also signed an open letter with other radical groups that defended Elias Rodriguez, the left-wing activist who assassinated Israeli embassy employees Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on May 21.
