David Richardson, a tenured history professor at Madera Community College in California, reportedly brought chocolate bars to a campus open house on April 29 which had he/him and she/her pronouns written on them, and which contained nuts or not respectively. The professor was put on leave for his “neo-pronouns” protest. As part of the suspension, he has been locked out of his university email account and barred from the campus. Richardson also claims he has had no communication from the university. The history prof likened his treatment to the Hollywood Ten and other victims of the Red Scare in the 1940s and 50s, when Communist panic overtook the country, and demagogues like Sen. Joseph McCarthy held sway in Congress. These chocolate bars belong to Jeremy’s Chocolate, which was created by Jeremy Boreing, the co-CEO of conservative news outlet The Daily Wire. The brand was created as a response to Hershey’s trans-inclusive ad campaign for International Women’s Day 2023. The teacher told Fox News: “I feel as if they’ve been sort of looking for a reason to get rid of me because I don’t share the current opinion on neo-pronouns and that kind of stuff.” In addition to Fox News, the professor’s cause has been taken up by chocolate-maker Boreing, who’s created a fresh graphic for his transphobic treat. #Queer Up Education
