No. I'm guessing that's a reference to Sam Harris in defense of the Holocaust Denial Free Speech?

Comrade Cecelia! Join us in the great Socialist Uprising!
You know! Child sacrifice, lab assistant orgies, scrabble...
Yeah, I felt really happy when students tell me that. Especially since a lot of people find history boring. Having students come back and tell me "I got into this because of you," is just a fantastic feeling. (The worst is either finding a student you can't help, or possibly whenever I hear bright students tell me they can't afford to go to college. One of which was last year. Probably the smartest student I've ever had, and she couldn't go to college because she couldn't afford it. Even with scholarships. That nearly made me cry. If I had the money, I'd have paid her way through college myself)
Child Sacrifice? Only the really bad kids!
Lab assistant orgies? Only on the weekends.
Scrabble? Nobody wants to play me anymore because I always win. Except against my brother, and I've only beaten him once. Of course he's played in professional tournaments so that's not a bad thing!
