An associate dean at the University of Wisconsin\u2013Madison has publicly called former President Donald Trump<\/a> a racist and co-authored an academic paper suggesting that the American education system, and even mathematics, is “inherently violent” toward Black students.<\/p>\n

Percival Matthews, associate dean for the Office of the Dean and a professor in the Human Development Area at UW\u2013Madison, shared his views<\/a> in a series of Facebook posts and academic writings reviewed by Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

In a January 2018 Facebook post, Matthews appeared to label Trump a racist<\/a>, writing, “What\u2019s on my mind? This: When you get a guy in the ultimate seat of power with a history of racist endeavors who makes not-even-veiled racist comments that a decent portion of the people continue defend, you\u2019re left wondering what\u2019s left to do.”<\/p>\n

He continued by invoking Malcolm X, saying, “For many, the name Malcolm X evokes the image of an unnecessarily violent man who hated America. But if you actually read the text of his best speeches (I recommend The Ballot or the Bullet as a starter), it\u2019s clear that the frustration was fueled by a bald-faced (look the origin of that term up too) denial of an undeniable and obvious truth.”<\/p>\n

Matthews, who was appointed “special advisor for access and community<\/a>” in April, a role that “recognizes the importance of advancing UW\u2013Madison\u2019s institutional efforts to create a welcoming and inclusive community for students and employees from every background” has also made reference to the concept of “violence” in education.<\/p>\n

In a paper co-authored<\/a> with Pooja Sidney, an associate professor at the University of Kentucky, Matthews claimed that systemic inequities in education<\/a> leave Black students “shut out” of advanced courses, particularly in mathematics.<\/p>\n

“This exclusionary narrative continues into the higher grades, with Black children routinely being shut out of advanced mathematics courses<\/a> despite meeting achievement standards,” the paper states. “In stark contrast, more privileged White children are sometimes tracked into advanced courses despite failing to meet those standards.”<\/p>\n

The paper goes on to ask, “How can a Black scholar work to improve a system through rigorous empirical research when that system is arguably inherently violent toward Black children, even the ones who excel at all the tests?”<\/p>\n

In an older Facebook post from 2020, Matthews referenced the concept of violence in the wake of the death of George Floyd<\/a>, writing, “A legitimate (adv) use of violence can legitimate (vb) use of violence. There are a number of ways to read that sentence” in response to the murder of George Floyd.<\/p>\n

Another 2020 post rhetorically asked, “And people are surprised that Minneapolis is burning<\/a>?”<\/p>\n

In a statement to Fox News Digital, John Lucas, assistant vice chancellor for public affairs and institutional communications at UW\u2013Madison, wrote, “UW-Madison supports free expression<\/a> and doesn\u2019t comment on the personal social media accounts of its students, faculty or staff.”<\/p>\n

A statement from the University of Kentucky’s office of public relations and strategic communications told Fox News Digital in a statement that, “The university wouldn\u2019t have any comment on a faculty member\u2019s scholarly work, which is protected by academic freedom and does not represent any university stance.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Matthews and Sidney for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
