DOJ finds GWU violated civil rights, extending an anti-Israel-protest enforcement wave

Jonathan Perkins, UCLA’s Director of Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion whose name has been scrubbed from the university website, but it remains unclear whether the university administrator has been removed from his position.

“It is OKAY to be happy when someone who hated you and called for your people’s death dies—even if they are murdered,” he wrote on his now locked Bluesky account.

BREAKING: UCLA just took down their entire web page for their "Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)" after I exposed their "Race and Equity" Director's disgusting comments about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. But the internet is forever. pic.twitter.com/uxV9SAqEZb — Corey A. DeAngelis, school choice evangelist (@DeAngelisCorey) September 14, 2025

Perkins can be reached for comment at his professional email: [email protected].

“Why shouldn’t he be dead?” Perkins asked in one post, and, in another, “I’m always glad when bigots die,” he said.

“Multiple times throughout his short life, Charlie Kirk has proudly proclaimed the United States’ 45,000 or so annual gun deaths are ‘worth it’ in exchange for his beloved 2nd Amendment ‘right to bear arms.’ Dude made this bed; reaped what he sowed; chickens coming home to roost,” Perkins wrote in another post, further elaborating on his lack of sympathy.
