On Saturday, the day after Target announced that it would reverse its decision to remove the book “Irreversible Damage” by Abigail Shrier, which is critical of the transgender movement, from its online store, an English professor at UC Berkeley urged her followers to steal the book and burn it.

Grace Lavery tweeted, “Since some ppl have misunderstood my tone, and censorship is an important matter and as a public educator I have a duty to be precise, let me clarify: I do NOT advocate defacing library books. I DO encourage followers to steal Abigail Shrier’s book and burn it on a pyre.”
