Retired Fort Lewis Professor Flips Off Camera, Calls TPUSA Supporters 'Nazis' After Student Government Approves Chapter

On Nov. 7, a retired Fort Lewis College professor, David Kozak, was filmed angrily confronting students after the Associated Students of Fort Lewis College (ASFLC) voted to approve a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter.

Video of the exchange shows Kozak flipping off the person recording and repeatedly shouting insults at the group. In the footage he is heard saying, "F— the Nazis," and calling the chapter's supporters "Nazis," "fascists," and "Nazi lovers."

"F— the Nazis," the video records Kozak saying. "Go on, fascists. Go on, Nazi lovers."

The emergency ASFLC vote on Nov. 7 reversed an earlier decision that had denied senior Jonah Flynn’s application to register the student organization. The episode followed weeks of campus debate: a petition opposing the chapter, launched Oct. 17, gathered more than 400 signatures accusing TPUSA of actions that "directly harm our community," while a later counter-petition backing the chapter amassed over 1,000 signatures.

Fort Lewis College, a small liberal arts institution in a region that leans Democratic, confirmed to Fox News Digital that Kozak retired in 2022 and is no longer employed by the college. A spokesperson said the college remains committed to academic excellence, free expression and civil discourse.

Kozak did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. The incident highlights the tensions that can arise on campuses when contentious national political groups are organized at the student level.
