Inside the far-left ‘breeding ground’ universities alleged WHCD shooter called home for years
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: The educational background of alleged White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter Cole Allen is generating renewed scrutiny from critics about the current state of academia and bias in the teaching profession and questions about far-left politics and rhetoric on college campuses, including the specific institutions the alleged shooter attended.
Allen graduated from Cal State University Dominguez Hills in May 2025 with a master’s degree in computer science, according to his LinkedIn page. He spent a few years at the Carson, California, institution that multiple university employees who spoke to Fox News Digital said is rife with far-left ideology and antipathy toward countering views to that.
«I was not shocked,» a CSU Dominguez employee, granted anonymity to protect against retribution, told Fox News Digital about the news Allen was a former student at the university. «Campus policy treats ICE like it is an invading army. There is constant talk of ‘the community under threat.’
«I hope no one here approves of violence, but continually talking about the government as a threat to the community isn’t healthy.»

Some professors and administrators at CSUDH emphasize race and division in their teaching, and while they may not be the majority, they are highly visible and appear to be well supported, another employee said.
For example, the employee explained that the university maintains three separate ethnic studies departments, Chicana/o studies, Africana studies and Asian Pacific studies, even though these programs have relatively few majors and graduates. Despite the university facing a serious financial crisis, there are no plans to consolidate them into a single department, which could reduce costs.
«Faculty who spearheaded the push for an ‘ethnic studies’ requirement in the CSU were almost uniformly rewarded with deanships and administrative positions throughout the CSU,» the employee said.
Additionally, the Chicana/o Studies Department publicly supported Gaza on Nov. 3, 2023, weeks after the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre, but did not face any official consequences or requests to apologize, the employee said.
«Conservative and independent professors and lecturers can expect scorn and insult when they try and actually voice their viewpoints, if not outright censure,» one of the employees told Fox News Digital.
«Conservative students can realistically expect retaliation from faculty for disagreeing with said faculty member’s political views. I’ve heard a member dismiss a rather good student as being libertarian, ‘And, therefore, he can’t be that smart.’»
ASRA NOMANI: I WATCHED HATE CONSUME DEMOCRATS’ ‘NON-VIOLENT’ #NOKINGS RALLIES

One of the employees suggested that «regular folks from 20 years ago likely «keep their mouths shut» so as not to be branded a «right-wing bigot.»
«If you aren’t ‘anti-racist’ you are part of the problem to many of the most vocal people here. Certainly, I’m not comfortable letting my views be fully known, and I’m a lifelong Democrat.»
One of the most prominent voices on campus during Allen’s tenure was the school’s president, who often talked about race and labeled the Trump administration as racist.
«We need to be cognizant of how our minds and spirits have been contaminated by the residuals of racism and White supremacy,» Thomas A. Parham, former president at Cal State University Dominguez Hills, said during a webinar last fall titled, «Liberation Psychology: Unlocking the Shackles of Conceptual Incarceration,» first reported by Gateway Pundit.
Parham served as the president of CSU Dominguez Hills from March 2018 through December, when he stepped down after the school’s Academic Senate passed a resolution of «no confidence» over his leadership during his tenure.
Parham said during the webinar it was his goal to «disrupt» and «dislodge» individuals who feel «comfortable» with the «way things are» when it comes to race.
«I want to dislodge them from that comfortable category of intellectual, emotional and behavioral apathy that has been stuck in the way things are and then acting in the way that happens,» Parham explained during the webinar, which was hosted by the American Psychological Association (APA) Leadership Development Institute.
«If I need to adjust or disrupt that fragility in order to do that, that is the only thing that is going to instigate change. If I make them too comfortable, then all they do is receive information and passively go about doing it as if everything they’re doing is OK. So, I have to be one that’s unapologetic about being able to confront the fragility.»
Parham also offered criticism of Trump in the webinar, saying, «When you can brag about grabbing women by the privates, that is sexual assault that would wind everybody else up in jail. And 53% of the women still vote for you. Mostly White. You know this is something more than just a political issue.»
At another point in the webinar, Parham claimed the Trump administration doesn’t like minorities, saying, «Everybody knew this current federal administration was not liking Black folk, was not liking Latino folk and was not down with immigrants. Everybody knew that.»
One of the CSU Dominguez employees told Fox News Digital, «That’s Parham.»
«He centered race in everything, but only in a Black-White binary despite campus being two-thirds Latino,» the employee said. «He was defiant about not following DOE/admin rules on DEI and always made it feel like if you weren’t far-left, you didn’t share the values of the ‘Toro Family.’
«A lot of professors, especially the loudest voices on campus, are the same way. I’m sure a lot of professors aren’t pushing an agenda, but the dominant narrative on campus, including from administration, that the mission of the university is race-conscious, leftist and activist.»
MICHAEL SHELLENBERGER: THE LEFT IS GETTING PEOPLE KILLED
On April 17, 2025, a month before Allen graduated, CSUDH faculty and staff joined a news conference and rally as part of the National Day of Action for Higher Education. This was coordinated with other Southern California campuses to protest what organizers called the Trump administration’s «attacks on higher education.»
Rick Addante, a neuroscientist who spent years working in the Cal State University system and was present during Parham’s webinar, which he posted online, told Fox News Digital he was «shocked and appalled at the kind of vile hate and discrimination that he [Parham] was spewing» and made the case that the political climate at CSU Dominguez was one that could easily radicalize an impressionable student.
Addante, who has been sounding the alarm on X over alleged liberal radicalization on college campuses over the last few years after being fired from Florida Tech after blowing the whistle on DEI, argues the rhetoric found in the shooter’s manifesto is indistinguishable from the official «ideological breeding ground» established by Parham. He believes the shooter was «indoctrinated» by an institutional culture that explicitly targets the Trump administration and its supporters.
«When you look at that, and you ask yourself, ‘Why is this person willing to run through a gauntlet of Secret Service people to attack the entire line of succession of the United States government and the president of the United States, where do his ideas, where do his thoughts and this drive come from?’» Addante said. «Well, to me, you can draw a straight line connecting the two dots because this is clearly what he was indoctrinated with.
«As far as I’m concerned, they should be yanking funding from all of these places and treating them like the madrasas for the terror breeding grounds that they are.»
Beginning in March 2020, Allen’s LinkedIn profile says, he joined C2 Education, a tutoring company, enrolling at California State University, Dominguez Hills, in 2022 to pursue an master’s in computer science, graduating in May 2025. That school also confirmed that a person by the same name graduated with a master’s degree that year.
A Dec. 30, 2024, Facebook post from C2 Education congratulated «Cole Allen of C2 Education Torrence on being honored as December teacher of the month.» A photo matching that of Allen was attached to the post.
According to law enforcement officials, Allen’s past includes descending into anti-Trump hate, attending at least one of the three «No Kings» protests organized over the past year by groups, including Democratic-leaning nonprofits, like Indivisible, MoveOn and American Federation of Teachers and a network of socialist organizations.
In the days after the high-profile shooting authorities say was carried out by Allen, social media users began pointing to his educational background and his leftist commentary on social media, while highlighting the allegations in recent years that the education system in the United States has been increasingly promoting and funding far-left ideologies.
«If you’re surprised that the wannabe Trump assassin is a teacher, you haven’t been paying attention,» political commentator Riley Gaines posted on X Monday in response to a Fox News Digital report highlighting the over $1 billion teachers unions have sent to far left causes over the last decade.
«The elephant in the room is that a left-wing teacher just tried to assassinate multiple members of the Trump administration after teachers unions spent more than $1 billion on left-wing causes,» Republican communicator Steve Guest posted on X in response to the same report.
In addition to attending CSU Dominguez, according to his online profile, Allen enrolled in the highly competitive California Institute of Technology, known as Caltech, in September 2013 to pursue a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, graduating in 2017.
Caltech has had its own issues with perceptions of far-left curriculum and ideology, highlighted most notably by a National Association of Scholars report that concluded DEI, widely viewed by conservative critics as a key tenet of far-left ideology on college campuses, is not just administrative at Caltech, it’s inserted into scientific research culture itself.
SIGN UP TO GET THE CAMPUS RADICALS NEWSLETTER
The report explains that «Caltech’s administration is thoroughly saturated with DEI’s broader ideological agenda» and that «DEI was established to operate at every level of campus work.»
DEI was also a top priority of Parham during his tenure at CSU Dominguez, according to his own words in an exit interview where he took a shot at the Trump administration’s efforts to rein in race-based hiring and curriculum.
«We are acutely aware of the federal government’s hostility toward anything that looks like it wants to be diverse,» Parham said. «Not a surprise to us, but we try to delicately dance, not to skirt the law, but really to be in tune with the law as it is written, and separate out what is someone’s opinion and perspective about what they like and don’t like, versus technically what is legal.»
In the same interview, Parham expressed his reverence for anti-colonialist writer and activist Frantz Fanon, a French political philosopher who died in 1961, who was labeled the «Patron Saint of Political Violence» by The Atlantic in 2024.
«They become mantras and symbols of possibility. When I see Fannie Lou Hamer talking about, ‘I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired,’ it sometimes creates the mood and the ambiance that allows me to kind of move forward,» Parham said when asked about the «Black intellectuals» that are «meaningful in his life.»
«When I see Fanon, which is kind of my daily mantra, say that Each generation, out of relative obscurity, must reach out and seek to fulfill its legacy or betray it, I go to work every day and go to bed every night deciding, ‘Have I fulfilled or betrayed the legacy that I’ve been blessed to inherit by my ancestors and my elders?’»
In his farewell email to the university, obtained by Fox News Digital, Parham said he hoped his «lasting legacy» was his «commitment» to DEI measures.
CSUDH’s interim president, Mary Ann Villarreal, appears to have made racial «equity» a key part of her resume as well, joining the university after serving as «vice president for institutional excellence at the American Association of Colleges and Universities, a global membership organization dedicated to advancing equity, innovation, and educational excellence,» according to her bio.
Before that, Villarreal served as the vice president for equity, diversity and inclusion.
MS NOW HOSTS CALL OUT ‘DISTURBING’ LEFT-WING THEORIES THAT WHCD SHOOTING WAS A ‘FALSE FLAG’

«I am excited to join CSUDH in advancing its vital mission of serving California students in all their diversity and promise,» Villarreal said after her appointment in a press release on the school website. «Dominguez Hills is a beacon of inclusivity and a vital anchor for its community.»
A spokesperson for CSU Dominguez pointed Fox News Digital to its previous statement on April 27 that said, «CSUDH reiterates its condemnation for the act of violence at the WHCA dinner. The university community is grateful for law enforcement’s swift response and greatly relieved that no one was seriously injured.»
In response to questions about the climate on campus, the spokesperson said, «CSUDH is committed to creating a safe, healthy environment in which our campus community can thrive and exchange ideas. Our mission is to provide a transformative educational experience that helps students in their academic and career journeys.
«CSUDH upholds the tenets of the First Amendment: Our staff, faculty, and students, each of whom has their own perspectives and life experiences, are free to engage in dialogue and debate. No one is discouraged from speaking their mind, and the university cannot and will not intervene in individual expression unless it violates the law. CSUDH urges anyone experiencing retaliation or harassment to make a report so that the university can respond appropriately and provide any necessary supports.»
A Caltech spokesperson told Fox News Digital the shooting incident is «deeply troubling» and that «we unequivocally denounce all forms of political violence and extend our concern and support to all those impacted by this incident.»
«Caltech is firmly committed to — and solely focused on — advancing knowledge; promoting critical, data-driven inquiry; and providing the next generation of scientists and engineers with access to research and learning experiences that drive discovery, innovation and technological advancement.»
The spokesperson also pointed to reporting on community members and classmates who have said Allen was actively involved with the Caltech Christian Fellowship club and fencing during his time at Caltech.
Nicole Neily, president of the education watchdog Defending Education, pointed to a 2024 report her organization released highlighting the «activist pipeline» on college campuses.
HOW UNIVERSITY INDOCTRINATION TURNED DEADLY, AND WHY ONE SCHOLAR SAYS IT’S ONLY GETTING WORSE
«Colleges of education have strayed far from their mission of providing best practices and tactics for teachers, instead focusing on leveraging pupils to combat a so-called ‘oppressor-oppressed matrix,’» Neily said.
«For far too long, teachers have viewed their role as ‘agents of social change’ rather than of educators, and the results of this sea change are obvious when looking at test scores. America’s students deserve to learn reading, writing and arithmetic — not be enlisted as child soldiers in progressives’ war on our country’s values.»
Skeptic Research Center, a project of The Skeptics Society, released a study in 2025 suggesting a correlation between a high level of education and being more open to supporting political violence.
«Americans with the highest level of formal education were also the most supportive of political violence,» the study stated. «[Thirty-six] percent of those with a graduate or professional degree agreed at least somewhat with the statement, ‘If you are protesting something unjust, it is reasonable to damage property,’ while 40 percent agreed that ‘Violence is often necessary to create social change.’»
Addante told Fox News Digital that the April 25 shooting should be a wake-up call to the threat of radical ideology on college campuses nationwide.
«Where did the manifesto come from? Where did the ideas that drove the manifesto and the actions and the threats, where did they come from? They didn’t come from Reddit. They didn’t come from social media,» Addante said.

«They might have been exacerbated by Reddit and social media and Bluesky, and, sure, blame them too. But we’re not going to solve anything by blaming BlueSky and Reddit. We’re going to solve things by addressing the root cause, which is actually the ideological breeding grounds and where he was trained to think this way by the actual employed people receiving federal funds who specifically spent five — four years, five years teaching him literally this.
«That is what we’re not doing as a country in focusing, and that’s why it’s going to continue to happen over and over again, because there are a thousand of these institutions around America.»

Guatemala: Las lluvias e inundaciones mantienen evacuaciones en Alta Verapaz que incluyen el Hospital
Las lluvias, las inundaciones y las evacuaciones marcaron este 11 de julio en Alta Verapaz, donde más de 7 mil personas resultaron afectadas y las autoridades mantienen la respuesta ante una emergencia que puede extenderse porque se pronostica que las precipitaciones continúen en el territorio nacional.
La Coordinadora Nacional para la Reducción de Desastres registró ese impacto en varios municipios del departamento. Los sectores más afectados son Chahal, Fray Bartolomé de las Casas y San Cristóbal Verapaz, donde el agua ingresó a viviendas y obligó a movilizar a familias enteras.
En Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, los Bomberos Municipales Departamentales continúan con las evacuaciones en barrios y comunidades anegadas. Entre las zonas señaladas por los socorristas figuran Los Laureles, La Vilmita, Santa Rosa, la comunidad Chinacobejá y el sector María del Carmen.
El traslado de los afectados se realiza hacia casas de familiares, al salón comunal del barrio La Vilmita y a la Casa de la Cultura de Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas. Las unidades de emergencia siguen desplegadas en las áreas inundadas para asistir a la población.
El Ejército de Guatemala informó que personal de la Sexta Brigada de Infantería “CAJDI” presta ayuda humanitaria dentro del Hospital Nacional de Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, en Alta Verapaz, como parte de las labores de atención derivadas de las inundaciones causadas por las lluvias intensas.
La institución indicó que estas acciones forman parte del trabajo coordinado para apoyar a la población durante la emergencia. El apoyo militar se concentra en el interior del centro asistencial, en paralelo con las tareas de rescate y evacuación que desarrollan los cuerpos de socorro en el municipio.
La emergencia también afecta la movilidad terrestre. La acumulación de lluvia dejó varios kilómetros de carretera bajo el agua en el tramo entre Chahal y Cadenas, lo que complica el paso en ese sector.
Ese cuadro responde de forma directa a la pregunta central de la emergencia: quiénes están afectados y qué está ocurriendo. En Alta Verapaz, miles de personas sufren inundaciones en sus residencias, mientras bomberos, autoridades de protección civil y personal militar sostienen evacuaciones, asistencia y atención en infraestructura pública.

Fuera de Alta Verapaz, el riesgo inmediato también se concentra en Izabal. Según el Instituto Nacional de Sismología, Vulcanología, Meteorología e Hidrología, los municipios de Livingston y El Estor presentan una saturación del suelo igual o superior al 90% en la capa superior, hasta 30 centímetros de profundidad.
De acuerdo con el Insivumeh, esa condición favorece que la lluvia se deslice directamente hacia ríos, riachuelos, quebradas y zanjones. El resultado es un aumento en la posibilidad de crecidas, inundaciones en distintas áreas e inestabilidad del terreno con riesgo de deslizamientos.
El organismo científico advirtió además que en esa zona del Caribe del país podrían registrarse lluvias continuas durante seis horas, un volumen que eleva de forma considerable la cantidad de agua acumulada. Por eso recomendó mantener la alerta ante crecidas e inundaciones repentinas.
El monitoreo también identifica otras áreas vulnerables, en especial la Franja Transversal del Norte y el área del río Polochic. Aun así, el mayor nivel de riesgo se ubica en los municipios caribeños mencionados por el Insivumeh.
La mañana de este sábado se informaba que la temporada de lluvias en Guatemala dejó desde el 19 de abril hasta este 11 de julio un saldo de 23.944 personas afectadas, nueve muertes y 796 emergencias atendidas, un impacto que se concentra con fuerza en Alta Verapaz y que también alcanza carreteras, puentes, escuelas y redes eléctricas, según la actualización de la Coordinadora Nacional para la Reducción de Desastres.
El informe oficial añade que 236 carreteras y 12 puentes presentan daños, junto con 18 escuelas, tres edificios públicos y nueve redes de energía eléctrica afectadas. La infraestructura golpeada acompaña un balance humano que incluye 11.589 evacuados y 616 personas albergadas.
La CONRED reportó además 5,448 familias afectadas y 4,875 damnificadas. El organismo registró tres personas heridas, siete hospitalizadas y cuatro desaparecidas en incidentes asociados a las condiciones climáticas.
Las viviendas figuran entre los daños más extendidos de la época lluviosa. De 5.056 casas con algún nivel de afectación, 4.533 sufrieron daño moderado, 232 daño leve y 110 daño grave, mientras 181 permanecen en riesgo y hasta el corte del reporte no se consignaban viviendas destruidas.
La Municipalidad de Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, Alta Verapaz, informó que se mantiene la Alerta Roja Municipal debido a las intensas lluvias registradas en la región. Como parte de las acciones de prevención y respuesta, se prepara la movilización de ayuda humanitaria destinada a las familias afectadas.
Los equipos municipales continúan desplegados en las áreas urbana y rural, coordinando esfuerzos con instituciones de respuesta para atender las emergencias y dar seguimiento a las necesidades de la población.
Las autoridades recomiendan a la población informarse únicamente a través de los canales oficiales, evitar cruzar ríos o zonas inundadas y seguir las indicaciones emitidas por las entidades responsables.
Para reportar emergencias o solicitar asistencia, se encuentran habilitados los siguientes números:
- 1554 – Línea gratuita
- 3859-4861 – Atención y reporte de emergencias

‘Friday Follies’: What happened to Little Italy on Mamdani’s map?
Laura Ingraham and Raymond Arroyo share their ‘Ray’s 3 Wishes’ segment, starting with Kathy Griffin’s love life and a shocking funeral pole dance in Amsterdam. They also criticize Justin Trudeau’s public antics. Ingraham then wishes New York City officials would recognize Italian Americans after omitting Little Italy from a map, highlighting alleged discrimination.

«Die Hard» actor Robert Davi blasted New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani Friday after a city map highlighting immigrant enclaves omitted Little Italy.
The «New York City Immigrant Enclaves» map resurfaced on social media earlier this week after users pointed out it omitted Little Italy, as well as historically Jewish and Irish neighborhoods, despite highlighting 30 immigrant communities across the five boroughs.
Following criticism from Italian-American groups, the city said it plans to update the map to include Little Italy.

Davi, who was born in Astoria, Queens, lashed out at Mamdani in a video posted on X, calling him a «jerk» for snubbing Little Italy.
«I hope every New York Italian American and Irish American spits on you when they see you,» Davi said. «I would spit on you if I saw you. Shame on you, you garbage man. Shame on you. Respect the city you’re in and understand the people who helped build it.»
«My grandparents came from Sicily and Naples and they taught me, speak the English. This is America. God bless America,» the 75-year-old «Licence to Kill» actor said.

«My grandfather enlisted in World War I and got wounded three times … he helped build New York City as an immigrant, an Italian immigrant,» he continued.
The veteran actor also suggested the mayor, whom he described as a «leftist Marxist Communist,» leave the United States.
«Go back to where you were born, Mamdani,» Davi said. «You don’t belong in America.»

Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda, and moved to the United States when he was 7 years old.
Davi also suggested there should be a constitutional amendment preventing Mamdani from running for public office.
«You should spend time in America, at least a generation, especially those of you that come from a country that has a totally different philosophical ideology bent,» he said.
The mayor’s office previously directed Fox News Digital to remarks Mamdani made during an unrelated press conference Friday, where he defended the map and said it had originally been created under the previous administration in 2023.
«This map was initially created by the prior administration in 2023, and when we inherited it, we added a few additional neighborhoods,» Mamdani said. «It’s clearly not an exhaustive list of the more than 200 ethnic communities that call our city home, and we’re going to be making additional changes in the future to reflect that and that includes Little Italy.»
Fox News Digital has reached out to Mamdani’s office for comment.
