Adam Ellwanger | Professor, University of Houston - Downtown May 9, 2026, 11:25 am ET Today’s left tosses words like “Nazi,” “Fascist,” and “White supremacist” around like rice at wedding these days. The problem is what they do with Nazis, fascists, and white supremacists. They kill them. Just ask Charlie Kirk. But his death changed nothing on American campuses. I am a tenured full professor at a public university in Texas.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes. I used one long throughout my undergraduate studies, even though by then everyone was using computers.

What's your favorite social network?

I love to hate Twitter.
