Students resisted the cries of their colleagues seeking to impose their views on the university. “Sit down, finally. Who do you accuse of fascism? Let’s teach a lesson,” they said to those who shouted at the lady. Vanas Nikolaidou-Kyrianidou during the course in Philosophical school of Athens last Wednesday.

In particular, the philosophy professor was targeted by left-wing groups because she shared a Facebook post saying that “mobilization for the Tempe accident cannot be toxic or violent. This does not correspond to any protest, especially a rally in connection with a national tragedy. Some have come to the conclusion that I call all students fascists and that I am an enemy of the society that protests against the tragedy of Tempe. This is an unprovoked, completely extreme attack on my face.” as he explained “K”.

“Who do you accuse of fascism? Let’s teach a lesson,” they said to those who shouted at Mrs. Vanas Nikolaida-Kyrianida.

The backlash began last week, and since then leftist students have attacked the professor verbally and on social media several times. In her class last Wednesday, there were again people in the audience who criticized her for her views.

However, while students usually don’t speak up on such occasions for fear of retaliation, on Wednesday some stood up, protested others’ cries and asked them to stop so the class could continue. This did not happen, and the verbal tension was transferred between the students. It should be noted that the audience was not only students of the department of Ms. Nikolaidou-Kyrianidou, but also other educational institutions.

The teacher, of course, asked for reconciliation, but how to be heard among the screams? Ms. Nikolaidou-Kyrianidou has classes every Wednesday, and the question is whether the reaction will continue until then. The information indicates that the student faction suggested that the students refrain from taking the teacher’s course.
