You don't want to defend Prof. Hubbard of Laney College -- don't you agree that he was no undeserving victim? Or do I have that wrong?
Are Hubbard and Rapoport victims of cancel culture, or not? I can't tell what you think. Take a stand, man.

I don't know as to Rapoport because I don't know how much of the decision to fire was based on discrimination and how much was based on his posts. Taking your word for it (that he was fired for poor performance and discrimination and not the posts), I would have to say no, he was not a victim.
Regarding Hubbard, his behavior was boorish and offensive. I'd have censured him for it. But would I demand his firing for it? No. If he did it a second time? Yes.
Now about the rest of the professors on that spreadsheet? The dozens or so of them?
