James Frederick Tracy (born October 12, 1965) is an American former professor.
Tracy holds a PhD degree, awarded by the University of Iowa in 2002. He was previously a professor of communications at Florida Atlantic University at Boca Raton. He has espoused the view that some American mass shootings did not occur, but are hoaxes perpetrated by a conspiracy. He maintains that the Boston Marathon bombing was a false flag operation perpetrated by the United States government and espoused the view that the Sandy Hook massacre also did not occur and was a hoax perpetrated by the United States government. There is a "Sandy Hook truther" movement to this effect.
This latter belief led Tracy to allegedly harass the parents of a Sandy Hook victim, demanding they give him proof of their son's death. This resulted in Florida Atlantic University initiating a procedure to dismiss Tracy, who had tenure, in December 2015. In January 2016, he was dismissed. On April 25, 2016, he filed suit for wrongful termination.
