UNC Professor Linked to Redneck Revolt Offshoot
Fox News reports that Dwayne Dixon, a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is listed on a Redneck Revolt Silver Valley chapter roster and that the group — described by the Counter Extremism Project as an offshoot of the John Brown Gun Club — has been tied by observers to violent attacks on ICE facilities. The article says recruitment flyers referencing celebratory language about violence were posted at Georgetown this week, that the university condemned the flyers, and that Dixon previously faced (and later had dismissed) misdemeanor weapons and assault charges tied to protests in 2017–2018.
