New School professor Corinna Mullin has drawn criticism for her remarks made at a New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) meeting. During a session titled 'Islamic Revolution Teach-in,' Mullin reportedly defended the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), an entity often associated with repression.
