Mark Bray is a historian at Rutgers University who has become a national figure in radical academic activism. Best known as the author of ANTIFA: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, Bray openly promotes militant protest, endorses political violence as a tool of resistance, and uses his faculty platform to legitimize extremist movements on and off campus. Through public lectures, protest participation, and social media amplification, he has repeatedly blurred the line between education and ideological indoctrination—creating a dangerous environment for open discourse and student safety.

Why Mark Bray Is Dangerous for Campus
Mark Bray doesn’t just teach history—he mobilizes students into ideological warfare. His support for militant protest movements and his refusal to condemn terrorist violence contribute directly to the radicalization of the academic environment. By platforming ANTIFA’s worldview and encouraging anti-Israel extremism, Bray turns classrooms into political battlegrounds—undermining free expression, campus safety, and civil discourse.
