In a chilling display of ideological derangement, a political science professor at The New School in New York City took to the podium at a Democratic Socialists of America meeting to champion the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and declare her desire to see the United States brought low.
Corinna Mullin’s “Islamic Revolution Teach-in” wasn’t an academic exercise in nuance—it was a brazen endorsement of America’s enemies wrapped in the language of class struggle and anticolonialism.

This isn’t the isolated rant of a fringe activist. It’s a window into the moral inversion that has captured significant portions of American higher education, where terrorist organizations are recast as defenders of the working class and the world’s most powerful republic is painted as the ultimate oppressor. Mullin, who previously led destructive anti-Israel protests at CUNY that caused millions in damage, now teaches at The New School after her reinstatement following termination.
During the hour-and-a-half session, Mullin praised Iran’s military for depleting U.S. weapons stockpiles and claimed the regime had achieved “phenomenal results” through its indigenous industry.
“We need to bring the empire down by any means necessary,” she declared, framing Iran’s actions as a blow against American power. She went further, defending the IRGC—a U.S.-designated terrorist organization responsible for the deaths of countless innocents, including Americans—as a protector of workers and the embodiment of resistance.
Mullin insisted the Iranian state operates “on behalf of the working class” and requires substantial military investment to achieve justice. In her presentation, she lauded the regime for “strong gender inclusion” and “prioritizing human life,” glossing over its well-documented record of executing protesters, oppressing women, and funding global terrorism.
This selective blindness reveals the intellectual bankruptcy of the radical left: principles bend to serve the narrative against the West.
Her audience of DSA members lapped it up. Leaders praised the presentation as “excellent” and “incredible,” with one admitting reluctance to appear sympathetic to Iran but urging disruption of the “war machine” without “purity tests.” The gathering exposed the alliance between Western socialists and Islamist forces—an unholy convergence united by hatred of America, Israel, and traditional Judeo-Christian civilization.
Mullin’s history fits the pattern. Arrested for her role in 2024 campus unrest that torched buildings and racked up $3 million in damages, she has long aligned with networks sympathetic to designated terrorist groups. Her writings and affiliations underscore a worldview that excuses tyranny abroad while condemning the imperfections of the freest nation on earth.
This episode raises urgent questions about who is shaping the next generation in our universities. Taxpayers and tuition-paying parents fund institutions that employ professors openly advocating for the downfall of their own country. The New School and CUNY’s handling of Mullin’s employment—quiet rehiring and evasion of accountability—suggests administrators either share the ideology or fear confronting it.
Such rhetoric isn’t abstract theory. It emboldens enemies who seek America’s destruction while demoralizing citizens who cherish liberty, prosperity, and the rule of law. The IRGC’s hands drip with blood from attacks across the Middle East and beyond, yet in certain academic circles, it receives a pass as “resistance.” This inversion of good and evil echoes ancient warnings against calling darkness light.
As Scripture declares in Isaiah 5:20, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.”
In an age of spiritual confusion, these professors and their socialist allies embody the very deception that weakens nations from within.
The broader culture must reckon with this reality. Parents, lawmakers, and citizens committed to truth cannot cede education to radicals who romanticize regimes that hang dissidents and stone the innocent. Defending the IRGC while plotting America’s demise isn’t academic freedom—it’s ideological treason against the principles that built the West.
America’s strength has always rested on moral clarity, not equivocation with evil. As long as institutions shelter voices like Mullin’s, the work of cultural renewal remains unfinished. The hour demands discernment, courage, and an unyielding defense of the good against those who would tear it down.
