He was speaking metaphorically. College students and academics should understand this. It ain't that difficult.

"Kill your whiteness."

My favorite game to play is that education should be free or nearly free. Not that someone else should pay for it mind you. Just put it on the internet. It's wrong to withhold information and knowledge from others.

I bet they would become conservatives overnight.

“My lecture focused on the questions people face in those situations, especially if there are such extreme comments and ideas being stated around them. I did not call for harm to anyone. To the contrary, my entire career has been dedicated to understanding how to help other people face challenges, and I do not condone suicide in any way.”

Duquesne University, Hook’s employer, published a statement (here) saying that the excerpt circulating on social media had been “lifted out of context to distort the actual comments” by Hook.
