After Racist Emails, Wake Forest University Keeps Armed Guards Outside of Some Classrooms

When Joseph Soares went to teach his social theory class at Wake Forest University this week, he walked past the armed police officer outside his classroom, unlocked the door, let his students in, then locked the door behind them. Earlier this month, sociology classes were canceled outright after seven members of the department received offensive emails calling for a national purge of nonwhite people and included racist, anti-Semitic and anti-gay slurs.
