Editor’s note: American campuses are awash in a crisis of Jew hatred. Ineffectual college administrators have taken tentative steps to try and rein in the proponents of terror on their campuses, but they have yet to confront the most obvious source of this poisonous Jew hatred—their own radical faculty who have not only called for an end to Israel but have outright celebrated the barbaric bloodshed of the terror group Hamas.
The Freedom Center is exposing these radical, pro-terror faculty as the Top Ten Hamas Loyalist Professors. We will be publishing one school per day as a series on Frontpage. Jeffrey McCully, a professor of sociology at Moraine Valley Community College in Illinois, is #10 on our list.
#10: Jeffrey McCully, Moraine Valley Community College
Professor Jeffrey McCully has taught sociology at Moraine Valley Community College, located in Palos Hills, Illinois, since 2012. By most accounts, McCully is a popular and well-respected educator at the Community College. In 2018, he was awarded the “Embracing Diversity Award” by his college for “champion[ing] not only LGBTQ+ causes, but those of the numerous minorities on campus.” But over the past year a very different aspect of the professor’s belief system has surfaced—his support for Hamas and his promotion of the terror organization’s propaganda in his classroom.
In January of 2024, Moraine Valley posted a video featuring Professor McCully to its TikTok and Instagram accounts. The purpose of the video was ostensibly to highlight McCully’s teaching style and his respect for diversity.
“I really do my best to really create a welcoming environment for my students in class,” McCully states in the short video. “I want my students to feel safe, feel valued and feel understood, and like that they have a place here, that they belong here, because they do.”
What was overlooked by the College—or perhaps not—was the extensive display of pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian propaganda showcased behind the professor during the video clip.
Images from the video show a banner composed of triangular Palestinian flags draped across the wall of McCully’s classroom alongside several other large rectangular posters supporting Palestine and Hamas.
One of the posters visible on the wall states the genocidal pro-Hamas slogan, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” a call for the elimination of the Jewish state and the extermination of its Jews.
According to the website, StopAntisemitism.org, which reposted the video clip, that poster also contains the hashtag “#AlAqsaFlood” which “was the Hamas operation official name for the 10/7 Israel massacre.”
To put it in the clearest language possible, McCully has a poster hanging in his college classroom that not only calls for the elimination of Israel and the genocide of the Jewish people, but further supports Hamas’s barbaric October 7, 2023 massacre, rape, and mutilation of over 1200 innocent Israeli Jews.
“It is horrifying to see Jeffrey McCully promoting violence in his classroom @morainevalley!” concludes StopAntisemitism.org. The fact that McCully’s video was intended to highlight his inclusive teaching style and his desire for his “students to feel safe, feel valued and feel understood” only adds to the irony.
“He states ‘I want my students to feel safe,’” notes StopAntisemitism.org in their post. “His Jewish students feel anything but.”
StopAntisemitism’s post about McCully swiftly went viral and the professor was placed on administrative leave for one day—allegedly to protect his mental health—before being allowed back into his classroom. Moraine Valley did remove the video from its social media feeds, but it is still available at StopAntisemitism.org. The College has not commented on the appropriateness of McCully’s classroom décor celebrating Hamas’s October 7th massacre.
For his blatant use of pro-Hamas propaganda celebrating the massacre of Jews in his classroom, Professor Jeffrey McCully belongs on the list of Hamas Loyalist Professors.
