Emily Schnee and Libby Garland are professors at Kingsborough Community College in New York City who have been targeted, along with several of their colleagues, for organizing progressive faculty on campus... "There have been previous waves of progressive faculty organizing on campus, but there was renewed interest after the election of Donald Trump in the fall of 2016. The primary impetus was to protect our students, because our campus has a number of immigrant and undocumented students... [W]e decided to run a slate of progressive candidates for our local union chapter’s election last spring against the conservative leadership... [After] we announced... [this the] Lawfare Project sent letters to 15 of us... [that] threatened us with a lawsuit on behalf of a college administrator who also teaches courses at Kingsborough, based on completely unfounded allegations of anti-Semitism on our part... The folks who want to shut us down have also deployed the college’s internal disciplinary processes to harass us."
