It’s way more simple than any of that. A documentary filmmaker and progressional Republican political op named Chris Rufo went through the footnotes of academic papers to play six degrees of Kevin Bacon from antiracism seminars to Robin D’Angelo to Derek Bell to Angela Davis to Herbert Marcuse to Marx.

He said that by the evening, students were calling for him to be removed from UCLA and a petition with 20,000 signatures circulated demanding that he be fired. Three days after the first email, Klein was suspended by UCLA.
