In this episode of “No, This Isn’t a Satire Piece From the Babylon Bee”…
So yeah, with everything going on in the news, today, who’da thunk a story about George Floyd would make the news?
Floyd, as you recall, was a 46-year-old Black American in Minneapolis, who former police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering on May 25, 2020, after Floyd resisted arrest and Chauvin subdued him by kneeling on his neck. It should be noted that even CNN reported in 2021 that heart disease and fentanyl in Floyd’s system contributed to his death.
Fast-forward to last Saturday’s Socialism 2025 conference and the no-longer-hallowed halls of education.
At the conference, University of Houston professor David McNally advocated for significant reforms at his institution. Of course, “significant reforms” has a totally different meaning to the left than it does to the rest of us.
Want proof?
During his remarks, McNally suggested — with a straight face, mind you — renaming the University of Houston “George Floyd University.” No, really. And as if that recommendation wasn’t enough, the professor then called for the elimination of tuition and the university’s traditional grading system.
Wearing a keffiyeh (a “Palestinian” scarf), McNally spoke about resisting state authority by building a large-scale, activist movement. Among his proposals for the “de-stateification” of the University of Houston — a public school— was his ridiculous idea of commemorating Floyd:
We would open the university up in such a way that it becomes a resource of the broader community. And I can tell you with great confidence that in the Third Ward of Houston, that means that we will be renamed the George Floyd University.
McNally also recounted his warped remembrance of watching a Black Lives Matter riot in Houston in June 2020, where he said he saw police officers being overwhelmed by protesters:
All of a sudden you got a glimpse of what it means when we control the streets because the cops were backing off. They were completely outnumbered. You begin to sense what happens when the balance of social forces, even in one small situation, shifts and how the horizons of possibility change. For that period of time, that part of downtown Houston was not in their hands anymore. It was in our hands. It was in insurgent hands.
Not to snicker, but McNally is as white as they come. Given the intensity and violence at of some of the Black Lives Matter riots in the aftermath of Floyd’s death, I can only wonder how that “It was in our hands” would’ve turned out for this guy, but I digress.
McNally also called for abolishing campus police and replacing them with “democratically constituted and elected safety committees,” restoring the university’s LGBTQ+ center, declaring the school a “sanctuary campus” from ICE officers, and fighting to “abolish tuition and grades.”
A veritable Shangri-La for all, huh?

Anyway, “Citizen Journalist Stu” encapsulated McNally’s socialist bilge, step by step, in a post to X, along with video of the professor’s unintelligible word salad of naive nonsense.
1. Sanctuary Campus – “First, we would fight for and win sanctuary campus… ICE would be gone. It would have no capacity to enter the campus space at all.”
2. Divestment – “We would push for and win divestment from apartheid and militarism. From climate destroying investments.”
3. Abolish Campus Police – “We would replace the campus police with democratically constituted and elected safety committees.”
4. Restore and Fund Activist Centers – “We would restore and massively resource the eliminated LGBTQ+ Center.”
5. Abolish Tuition and Grades -“We would fight to abolish tuition and grades.”
6. End Managerial Authority – “We would try to develop forms of worker self-management because we don’t need managers.”
7. Community Control – “We would open the university up… it becomes a resource of the broader community.”
8. Rename the Institution – “We will be renamed the George Floyd University… he grew up in Houston’s Third Ward… about half a mile from our campus.”
I won’t call this guy a fruitcake — in part because it would be a disservice to fruitcakes.
“University of Houston Would Become George Floyd University”
At Socialism 2025, University of Houston professor David McNally laid out a radical vision for what happens when an “insurgent social movement” seizes control of a university. His words weren’t abstract.
