<a href="https://www.unr.edu/psychology/faculty/mariann-weierich" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Mariann Weierich</a> is the James K. and Lois Merritt Mikawa Distinguished Associate Professor of Psychology at the <a href="https://www.unr.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Nevada-Reno</a>.
In a class-wide email—<a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/leaked-email-from-unhinged-leftist-professor-defies-mask-mandate-directive-at-u-of-nevada-reno" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which was provided to the Professor Watchlist and TPUSA LIVE teams</a>—Dr. Weierich informs students that her classroom will have reserved sections to separate students with and without masks. The first several rows will be reserved for those with masks while those who chose not to wear them will have to sit in the back. Students are required to move seats if asked.

Students arrived to find that Dr. Weierich had posted the announcement which partitioned the first three rows of her class for masked students.
“FIRST THREE ROWS ARE RESERVED for students who have chosen to continue wearing masks. [sic] (we will revise the plan depending on numbers) Please respect their decision and please change seats if asked.”
She then proceeds to explain the exam policy for masked and unmasked students. Unmasked students will have to write any questions by hand before stepping back six feet from the instructor.
“For Student Questions During the Exam: If you ARE wearing a mask, please come to the room to ask your question, or wait until the end to ask just before you turn in your exam.” 
“If you ARE NOT wearing a mask, please write your question on your exam, wait until the end just before you turn in your exam, and at that time hand the question to Prof or TA and step back ~6 feet while we read and answer the question.”

By all accounts, this is not an isolated incident at UNR. The TPUSA LIVE and Professor Watchlist teams were informed by several students and identified other reports of professors who still require masks to enter class, separate students based on whether they wear a mask, and even move classes outside in the snow if too many students are not wearing masks.

China is the greatest existential threat that the United States currently faces. Through military, governmental, and financial fronts, the authoritarian Chinese government seeks to supplant the United States as the world’s sole superpower. None of their tactics may be more perfidious than the placement of Confucius Institutes on campuses across the country. Currently, 64 Institutes operate at American universities, high schools, and even elementary schools, serving as focal points of China’s espionage against our country. China has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to indoctrinate students with state-sponsored, communist propaganda, matched by university funds that are enabled by your hard-earned tax dollars.
Turning Point USA is standing up to the Chinese Communist Party. Through our China on Campus initiative, Turning Point USA is highlighting the infiltration of our educational institutions and halting the Chinese government in its tracks. We will locate, identify, and expose every school and professor that receives funding from the Chinese government. Through our efforts, Turning Point USA aims to close every Confucius Institute on American campuses for good.

Michigan State University

<a href="https://education.msu.edu/te/PhD/Whos-Who/Doctoral-Students/">Alba Lamar </a>is a graduate student and instructor at Michigan State University. In a class prior to Thanksgiving 2016, Lamar taught students how to argue with conservative relatives about issues such as illegal immigration, refugees, and the Dakota Access Pipeline. Lamar also mocked Christians for not supporting taking in Middle Eastern refugees and said conservatives often come to their views through fear.

Penn was recorded complaining in one of his creative writing classes about “dead white Republicans” who “raped his country.” As a student videotaped his rant, Penn antagonized students and asked, “You look like you’re frowning. Are you frowning?”.

Dr. Dorinda Carter Andrews is a <a href="https://education.msu.edu/people/carter-andrews-dorinda/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chairperson and Professor</a> at Michigan State University in the College of Education. Her research interests include racial justice and educational equity. Dr. Andrews has published articles for many media outlets and journals and has given two <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3N23MXsow8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TED Talks</a> in relation to critical race theory and racial gaps in education.

In an <a href="https://www.hourdetroit.com/education-schools/a-critical-race-theory-expert-on-how-something-benign-became-toxic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article for Hour Detroit</a>, Dr. Andrews accuses conservatives of “gaslighting” by being against critical race theory. Dr. Andrews alleges conservatives “cry CRT” any time an educator teaches something from America’s history that puts them in a “bad light,” even if it’s true. She goes on to insinuate that conservatives don’t want educators teaching black history at all.

Dr. Andrews has lectured all over the nation about critical race theory. In the video below from June 2021, she identifies as a critical race theorist:

In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOrgf3wTUbo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TED Talk given in 2014</a>, Dr. Andrews discussed racial inequity in the education system. She argues that the education system was founded in white supremacy,  making it nearly impossible for students of color to get ahead. She claims that students of color and poor students are already behind the curve before they even step foot into the classroom, and it’s unfair to expect the same levels of success for them compared to white students.

When Dr. Andrews isn’t teaching, lecturing, or writing publications, she often takes to Twitter to discuss CRT, racial equity, and anti-white rhetoric. Some examples are below:

https://twitter.com/DrDorindaCA/status/694285220351217664

https://twitter.com/DrDorindaCA/status/1367512182443954178

Dr. Andrews is a critical race theorist who pushes anti-white rhetoric in the classroom. In her opinion, racism is so deeply embedded into our education system that students of color have no chance of getting ahead if critical race theory isn’t taught in the classroom. In her eyes, conservatives are only against critical race theory because they fear it paints them in a negative light.

<a href="https://www.religion.ucsb.edu/people/student/timothy-snediker/">Timothy Snediker</a> works in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He first rose to notoriety for tweeting about his desire to assassinate Jesus Christ.
Snediker’s animosity towards Christ stems from his belief that the concepts of the individual and capitalism, both of which he opposes, arose out of Christianity during the enlightenment in Europe.
In the <a href="http://jcrt.org/religioustheory/2016/05/18/theodicy-of-money-the-scene-and-subject-of-forgiveness/">Theodicy of Money &#8211; The Scene of and Subject Forgiveness</a>, Snediker writes:
“Against the standard left critique of capitalism, which presupposes a certain secularism and a certain atheism, one must rather grapple with the peculiar verve of a comment made by Giorgio Agamben: “God did not die; he was transformed into money&#8230;To the identity of Christianity and capitalism corresponds the identity of God and money….Today, it is simply not enough to be an atheist, because, in the last instance, everyone believes in money.&#8221; 
As written in <a href="https://jcrt.org/archives/14.1/snediker.pdf">The Autonomy of the Now</a>, he further expands on his position:
“Our hypothesis is that, under the brutal conditions of global capitalist hegemony, resistance necessitates the affirmation of the intrinsic instability and artificiality of identity…”
“&#8230;resistance to power necessitates a two-fold refusal of the authority and sovereignty of both Christianity and Secularism…”
“Secularization is the strategic means by which the West (which is to say, Christendom, or European colonialism, or, simply, Christianity) effects its accumulations, its appropriations, and its dominations&#8230;..Christianity’s hegemony has not waned; it has metamorphosed and Metastasized.&#8221;
“Christianity is the identitarian religion par excellence: it ceaselessly works to individualize, legitimate and commoditize one’s identity&#8230;.this is how Christianity was constituted as a privileged instrument of power”
“Resistance to power necessitates, therefore, a restoration of the autonomy of the now, which in turn requires a two-fold counter-strategy: one the one hand, an acceptance of the instability of identity and the concurrent affirmation of our becoming-other; on the other hand, a refusal of power, which, in the era of global capitalism amounts to a critique of the secular, or, again, a critique of Christianity. “
&#8220;Our imperative is to join the struggle for subjectivity, to struggle to speak truthfully about ourselves, to discover that relation to the outside which allows us, in accordance with Nietzsche’s injunction, to become what we are—to become, in a word, anti-Christian.&#8221;
Snediker’s vitriol towards Christianity exploded when asked what he would do if he could travel 2000 years back in time, he <a href="https://twitter.com/realBenLeBlanc/status/1287809540373778434">tweeted</a>:
“Easy. I would find and assassinate Jesus of Nazareth.” 
He then proceeded to double-down, tweeting:
“Theologically speaking, it would be really important to get him before his calling and ministry begins, so that gives me roughly a decade to make it to Palestine, locate the man, and make my move. I don’t want to be the heroic Judas avant la lettre”

<a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/00336000014U15mAAC/peter-strzok-ii">Peter Strzok</a> is an adjunct professor at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/peter-strzok-hired-to-teach-counterintelligence-at-georgetown-university/">Strzok was recently hired</a> by the Walsh School of Foreign Service and teaches <a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/course-catalog/a1o1Q00000271IyQAI/ipol32301?id=00336000014U15mAAC">Counterintelligence and National Security.</a>

Strzok—a former counterintelligence agent with the FBI—was known for his lead role in the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election and former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/declassified-trump-russia-launch-document-authored-by-strzok-and-investigated-by-durham">Strzok launched a counterintelligence operation</a> and obtained multiple warrants to spy on individuals connected to the Trump campaign to determine if the candidate was illegally cultivating ties with Russia. Code-named Operation Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI’s investigation heavily relied on information provided by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele.

Steele had compiled a series of lurid allegations against then-candidate Trump, alleging liabilities to the Kremlin would allow him to be blackmailed by Russia. Referred to as the Steele Dossier, it was <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/clinton-campaign-dnc-paid-for-research-that-led-to-russia-dossier/2017/10/24/226fabf0-b8e4-11e7-a908-a3470754bbb9_story.html?tid=ss_tw&amp;utm_term=.be21b9cb9402">initially paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign</a> before being <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/doj-inspector-general-slams-bruce-ohr-for-consequential-errors-in-judgment">ferried by Bruce Ohr</a> of the Justice Department to the FBI. The Obama Administration was <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/dni-releases-cia-documents-on-hillary-clintons-plan-to-tie-trump-campaign-to-russia-to-distract-from-email-scandal/">briefed by CIA director John Brennan</a> about Clinton's attempt to use the dossier as an effort to tie the Trump campaign to Russia. The FBI used Steele as an informant to obtain FISA warrants against campaign surrogates George Papadopoulos and Carter Page.

It was later revealed that Steele’s source for the dossier was a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-previously-investigated-steele-dossier-source-as-russian-agent">suspected Russian spy</a> and his <a href="https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2020/07/24/meet_steele_dossiers_primary_subsource_fabulist_russian_at_us_think_tank_whose_boozy_past_the_fbi_ignored_124601.html">allegations were unfounded</a>. Despite Steele being removed by the FBI for his misconduct, this information <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/what-to-expect-from-inspector-general-michael-horowitzs-report-on-alleged-fisa-abuses">was withheld from a FISA court when seeking warrants</a> to surveil Papadopoulos and Page. The FBI claimed that Steele was not the source contained in the application while continuing to rely on his allegations.

<a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/15/newly-declassified-papadopoulos-transcript-exposes-crossfire-hurricane-corruption/">Papadopoulos</a> was ultimately never charged with colluding with Russia and the warrants issued for Page have been <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/carter-page-fisa-warrant-lacked-probable-cause-declassified-doj-order-finds">found to lack probable cause for surveillance</a>. A top lawyer working for Strzok has <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/11/22/washington-post-quietly-changes-story-on-altered-russia-probe-document/">pleaded guilty to falsifying information</a> in order to obtain a warrant for Page.

Peter Strzok was also instrumental in setting a perjury trap for General Flynn. Initially a target of Crossfire Hurricane, the Bureau soon closed the investigation over a lack of evidence. Strzok then <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/30/breaking-fbi-closed-flynn-case-dubbed-crossfire-razor-in-early-2017-until-strzok-ordered-it-to-stay-open/">intervened and immediately reopened</a> the case in early 2017. Hoping to catch <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/29/explosive-new-flynn-documents-show-fbi-goal-was-to-get-him-fired/">Flynn in a lie so that he would be fired</a>, Strzok interviewed Flynn over his recent conversation with the Russian Ambassador regarding sanctions. Despite Strzok or then <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/comey-told-obama-flynn-conversations-154702223.html">FBI director James Comey</a> believing that Fynn had not lied or mischaracterized the interaction, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/05/04/your-guide-to-the-obama-administrations-hit-on-michael-flynn/">the FBI charged Flynn with lying under oath</a>. The resultant trial nearly <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/now-imperiled-case-against-flynn-cost-him-millions-of-dollars-his-house-his-job">bankrupted Flynn’s family</a> and is still ongoing.

Throughout 2016 and 2017, Strzok was texting with fellow agent Lisa Page (of whom he was having an affair with at the time) <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/peter-strzok-trump-smell-hillbillies-1020892">his disdain for Trump supporters</a> and his desire to remove Donald Trump for office, referring to a supposed “<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/devin-nunes-peter-strzoks-insurance-policy-was-about-carter-page-fisa-warrant">insurance policy</a>” should he win the election. Strzok, then working with Robert Mueller, coordinated with Lisa Page t<a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/commentary/newly-disclosed-strzok-page-texts-shed-new-light-media-leak-strategy">o selectively leak information</a> about investigations to potentially obtain further warrants.

Strzok was soon <a href="https://apnews.com/article/fc94343ce2ace8e855cf7ef7efe9c8bf">removed from Mueller's team</a> once his communications were discovered, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2018/12/13/doj-destroyed-missing-strzok-page-text-messages-before-ig-reviewed-them/">but wiped his phone</a> before it could be reviewed for any further potentially incriminating texts. <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/fbi-agent-peter-strzok-who-sent-anti-trump-tweets-fired-n900161">He was later fired</a> by the FBI and <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/gregg-jarrett-ig-report-shows-fbi-misconduct-and-abuses-in-anti-trump-probe-of-russia-collusion-hoax">excoriated by an Inspector General’s report</a> over his partisan activities on a government-issued phone.

Throughout his career, Strzok has vindictively wielded the power of the state for his own purposes. To this day, he remains unrepentant and has <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/compromised-peter-strzok-on-investigating-the-trump-campaign/">repeatedly defended his actions</a>, even <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Untitled-Houghton-Mifflin-Harcourt/dp/0358237068">authoring a book</a> accusing the president of being compromised by Vladimir Putin.

Strzok’s texts to Lisa Page demonstrate a clear bias against conservatives, extending far beyond mere words. Strzok has repeatedly and flagrantly discriminated against conservatives.

Acting with impunity, Strzok and his team lied, falsified evidence, spied on, and attempted to bankrupt those serving on a presidential campaign that he opposed. As a professor, Strzok will hold the pivotal role of mentoring future leaders of the intelligence and law enforcement community— the same community whose principles he flagrantly violated. He will also hold the grades of his conservative students in a vice, subject to his personal prejudice. As someone that has demonstrated seemingly no prior hesitation in targeting conservatives, there is no reason to believe that Strzok will not place future students in his crosshairs.

Mr. <a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/0031Q00002Ad6npQAB/josh-ruebner">Josh Ruebner</a> is an adjunct faculty member in the <a href="https://justiceandpeace.georgetown.edu/">Program on Justice and Peace</a> at Georgetown University. According to Georgetown's website, the goal of the Justice and Peace Program is to produce “practically useful scholarships on how to create a more just and peaceful world.” In addition to his teaching roles, Ruebner is a Managing Director for the organization <a href="https://www.ampalestine.org/about-amp/staff">American Muslims for Palestine (AMP)</a>.

Mr. Ruebner has served in the Congressional Research Service (CRS), which provides policy analysis on behalf of committees in both the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. As a member of the CRS, Mr. Ruebner co-authored <a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs1535/m1/1/high_res_d/RL30713_2001Jan05.pdf">The Current Palestinian Uprising: Al-Aqsa Intifadah</a>, in which he accuses Israel of disproportionate use of force against Palestinians. Ruebner has also <a href="https://joshruebner.com/jewish-anti-occupation-group-lobbies-u-s/">sponsored</a> congressional staff members on a trip to the West Bank to advocate cutting off economic aid to Israel.

In 2018, Mr. Ruebner authored a book titled <a href="https://www.interlinkbooks.com/product/israel/">Israel: Democracy or Apartheid State?</a> In an event for the book’s release hosted by <a href="https://thejerusalemfund.org/category/pc">The Palestine Center</a>—a Palestinian advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C.—Mr. Ruebner <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqvfPNDwF70&amp;ab_channel=TheJerusalemFund%26PalestineCenter">accuses</a> Israel of enacting policies similar to apartheid-era South Africa.

Mr. Ruebner previously slandered Israel as an apartheid state in his 2013 book titled <a href="https://joshruebner.com/books/shattered-hopes/order-the-book/">Shattered Hopes: Obama’s Failure to Broker an Israeli-Palestinian Peace</a>. In a promotional interview with the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVcp4FkHcV-YGI7F-MsY-YQ">Portland Media Center</a>, Mr. Ruebner further <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU1fqAQBozo&amp;ab_channel=PortlandMediaCenter">accuses the United States of complicity in Israel's human rights violations</a>.

&nbsp;

Mr. Ruebner alleges that terrorist attacks committed against America are directly linked to ties with Israel. In a December 2002 article titled <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/12/10/striking-with-impunity/">Striking with Impunity</a>, he states that America is guilty of war crimes for providing military aid to Israel—claiming Israel uses this equipment to commit human rights abuses. Mr. Ruebner asks the readers in the same article, how many more “towers need to fall?”—in reference to the horrific September 11th terrorist attacks—before America stops supporting Israel.

<a href="https://www.ampalestine.org/about-amp/staff">As a Managing Director for AMP</a>, Mr. Ruebner oversees staff management, organizational planning, and development. <a href="https://www.ampalestine.org/about-amp/statement-of-principles">According to their website, AMP seeks</a> to “highlight Israel’s flagrant and continual violations of international law and human rights abuses.” According to the watchdog source <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/4891/investigation-exposes-amp-leaders-ties-to-former">The Investigative Project on Terrorism</a>, AMP can be linked to multiple terrorist organizations. Additionally, various speakers featured at AMP conferences have repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel.

Mr. <a href="https://joshruebner.com/uscpr/">Ruebner also served</a> as the Policy Director of the <a href="https://uscpr.org/">US Campaign for Palestinian Rights</a> (USCPR) from 2013 to 2019. <a href="https://uscpr.org/about-us/">According to their website</a>, USCPR seeks to end “U.S. complicity in Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people” and to “stop U.S. support for Israel until it ends its denial of Palestinian rights.”

In a July 2017 article, The College Fix reported that Dr. Graubart <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-annoyed-groundswell-good-wishes-john-mccain-calls-war-criminal/">condemned Senator McCain as a “war criminal</a>” and someone who “has championed horrifying actions” in a now-deleted Facebook post on his personal account. <a href="https://www.johnmccain.com/">John McCain</a> was a United States Senator from Arizona who <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/john-mccain-dead-at-81">served as a Navy pilot and was a prisoner of war</a> during the Vietnam War.

In the video, Winkelmann can be heard saying, &#8220;When he got elected, I told my classes three semesters ago, some of us won&#8217;t be affected by this presidency, but others are going to die. Other people will die because of this.&#8221; The school has yet to take any action, and Winkelmann has yet to issue a statement on the matter.

In an editorial about Republicans, he also made many misleading statements about Cabinet nominees, describing them as "a health secretary who opposes health, a secretary of state who may love Vladimir Putin even more than his president, a housing and urban development secretary who thinks his department is a movie that starred Paul Newman, and an education secretary who hates public education and those who work in it, but thinks school is a good place for kids to learn to shoot grizzlies".

<a href="https://www.wm.edu/sites/dhp/faculty/ciccariello-maher-george.php">Dr. George Ciccariello-Maher</a> is a Visiting Scholar of Decolonizing Humanities and Modern Languages and Literatures at the College of William and Mary. He previously taught in the Department of History and Politics at Drexel University.

From the College of William and Mary's website, his work at the Decolonizing Humanities Project is <a href="https://www.wm.edu/sites/dhp/decoloniality/index.php">described</a> as exploring, “how colonization, modernity, capitalism, and, most recently, neoliberalism has displaced an array of modes of living, thinking and being.  Decoloniality reveals “the dark side of modernity” and how it is built “on the backs” of “others.”

Ciccarello first came to notoriety for his racially inflammatory statements on twitter. On Christmas of 2016, he <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/Drexel-officials-Professor-George-Ciccariello-Mahers-White-Genocide-tweet-was-utterly-reprehensible.html">tweeted</a> out,

“All I want for Christmas is White Genocide,”

and,

“To clarify: when the whites were massacred during the Haitian Revolution, that was a  good thing indeed.”

He also tweeted out,

“Some guy gave up his first-class seat for a uniformed soldier. People are thanking him. I’m trying not to vomit or yell about Mosul.”

When Ciccariello was confronted by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndkvgmGIQHQ">Tucker Carlson</a> over his tweets, he only proceeded to double-down. In the following exchange, he defended the academic veracity of his tweets by claiming, “performance art is scholarship.”

Ciccariello doesn’t shy away from utilizing violence to accomplish his radical beliefs. In an op-ed for <a href="https://www.salon.com/2015/05/04/riots_work_wolf_blitzer_and_the_washington_post_completely_missed_the_real_lesson_from_baltimore/">Salon</a>, he praised the riots that had engulfed Baltimore in 2015 in an article titled “Riots Work.” He wrote, “without the threat of insurgency in the streets, no charges would ever have been brought in the murder of Freddie Gray.” Obviously not a proponent of police, Ciccariello openly <a href="https://www.salon.com/2015/04/24/we_must_disband_the_police_body_cameras_arent_enough_only_radical_change_will_stop_cops_who_kill/">advocates</a> for the abolishment of police forces, describing them as, “originally slavecatchers.”

When not calling for the disbandment of our law enforcement, Ciccariello is an ardent defender of the socialist regime in Venezuela. He regularly <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2013/04/12/thatcher-is-dead-long-live-chavez/">praises</a> Hugo Chavez and has bizarrely <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhYz1owM-uA&amp;feature=youtu.be">claimed</a> that Venezuela does not have corrupt elections.

Ciccariello doesn’t shy away from violent groups as well. In order to fight white-nationalism, Ciccarello called on Americans to embrace the radical group ANTIFA in an interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTv_hqjrmi8&amp;feature=youtu.be">Democracy Now</a> following the El Paso mass shooting. Although committed by a stated white nationalist, in the same interview Ciccariello placed the blame on Donald Trump for the deaths, claiming that his rhetoric on immigrants inspired the shooter’s rampage.  Ciccariello made similar accusations in a prior <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTv_hqjrmi8&amp;feature=youtu.be">interview</a> about the Texas Church Massacre, alluding that “whiteness” and Trump’s stoking of white victimhood was to blame for the murders.

Dr. Rabaka identifies publicly as a “democratic socialist” and a scholar of fields such as “black radical politics,” decolonial theory, and critical race theory. His lectures depict the United States as an inherently white-supremacist nation and herald the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as a necessary counter to systematic racism.
In a video sponsored by the university, Dr. Rabaka describes American society as having <a href="https://www.coursera.org/lecture/antiracism-2/dr-reiland-rabaka-interventions-in-racist-terminologies-qp12a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">culminated in the “social, economic, spiritual, and cultural” death of black people</a>. He attributes this to our nation&#8217;s alleged addiction to “black death.”

He repeated this accusation during a lecture for Florida Gulf Coast University’s <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/ccres/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Critical Race and Ethnic Studies</a>. During the event—hosted by professor and the Center Director, <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/directory/tthornhill">Dr. Ted Thornill</a>—Dr. Rabaka <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsS6RAfiesI&amp;ab_channel=FGCUUniversityMarketingCommunications" target="_blank" rel="noopener">characterizes the nation as a “colonial project” that was built on racial and economic enslavement</a>.

Dr. Rabaka addresses BLM at length during the Q&amp;A section, characterizing the movement as a response to the nation’s “deeply entrenched racism.” At one point, a member of the audience asks Dr. Rabaka how he would respond if BLM was characterized as a terrorist organization; Rather than answer the question, he proceeds to deflect and counter that Christopher Columbus should be considered a terrorist for committing a “holocaust” against Native Americans. He denounces both the Founding Fathers and Pilgrims in his tirade, accusing each of participating in “racial terrorism.”

&nbsp;
Continuing, he urges “white administrators” to invest in BLM-themed curriculums and workshops in order to raise consciousness about the movement.

BLM was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the acquittal of George Zimmerman for his murder. Although purporting to be a civil-rights organization, the movement has been tied to violent confrontations and riots across the country.

Throughout his lecture, Dr. Rabaka praises Angela Davis and Assata Shakur, whose work he considers instrumental to the BLM movement.

Dr. <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/people/core-faculty/jennifer-ho">Jennifer Ho</a> is a Professor of Asian American Studies and Director of the Center for Humanities &amp; the Arts at the University of Colorado-Boulder. According to her university <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/people/core-faculty/jennifer-ho">biography</a>, Professor Ho’s research interests include cultural studies, intersectionality, critical race studies, anti-racist theory, and critical mixed race studies.

Critical Theory, or Critical Race Theory, is an intellectual branch of Marxism that alleges American society and all of its founding institutions are infected with white supremacy. Furthermore, proponents of Critical Race Theory believe that people should take proactive steps to dismantle these institutions in the name of equity, which is also referred to as being “anti-racist.” Some Critical Race Theorists, such as Nikole Hannah-Jones, also <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/">claim</a> that America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England.

In an <a href="https://theconversation.com/white-supremacy-is-the-root-of-all-race-related-violence-in-the-us-157566">article</a> for The Conversation, titled, “White Supremacy is the Root of all race-related violence in the US,” Professor Ho alleges that all hate crimes committed in the United States are the result of white supremacy. The article is her response to the March 16th, 2021 <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/3-dead-shooting-georgia-massage-parlor-suspect-loose-n1261262">mass shooting</a> of massage parlors in Atlanta, George, that killed eight people, six of them being Asian-Americans.

Professor Ho attributes not just the March 2021 Atlanta shootings to white supremacy, but she actually attributes all hate crimes to white supremacy, regardless of whether or not they were committed by a white person. In the same <a href="https://theconversation.com/white-supremacy-is-the-root-of-all-race-related-violence-in-the-us-157566">article</a>, Professor Ho lists a series of anti-Asian hate crimes perpetrated by black men before stating that white supremacy is the cause for all of them.

Professor Ho further <a href="https://theconversation.com/white-supremacy-is-the-root-of-all-race-related-violence-in-the-us-157566">describes</a> white supremacy as an ideology “ingrained” into American institutions and the driving force behind the dehumanizing of Asian-Americans as well Black Americans.

The University of Colorado-Boulder features Professor Ho’s work on the College of Arts and Science’s website, in a <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/asmagazine/2020/04/08/anti-asian-racism-and-covid-19">web page</a> titled, “Anti-Asian Racism and Covid-19”. In addition to claiming that “millions” of unarmed black men have been killed by police, Professor Ho also alleges that it is also racist to state that COVID-19 originated in China.

Professor Ho also co-<a href="https://www.coursera.org/learn/antiracism-1#instructors">teaches</a> a class on anti-racism, titled, “Anti-Racism l”. According to the description of the course, participants will learn the following from Professor Ho:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">How to critically discuss “Whiteness.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Recognize that all white people possess white privilege.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">How the history of racism in the United States has created racial hierarchies that still exist.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The true foundations of the United States are that of “settler colonialism."</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">How white supremacy benefits white people.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Why the phrases, “All Lives Matter” and “Blue Lives Matter” are racist.</li>
</ul>

<a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Mao-Zedong">Mao</a>—who chaired the Chinese Communist Party from 1935 until his death in 1976—is widely considered one of the deadliest heads of state in history–<a href="https://www.heritage.org/asia/commentary/the-legacy-mao-zedong-mass-murder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an estimated 65 million Chinese perished from his regime</a>. Mao's deadliest campaign—referred to as the “Great Leap Forward”—<a href="https://www.hudson.org/research/7342-mao-s-great-leap-forward-and-the-power-of-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">caused an estimated 40 million to die from starvation and overwork in labor camps</a>.

All three lectures are listed at the bottom of the profile in full.

<a href="https://www.utica.edu/people/andrew-reeves">Andrew B. Reeves</a> is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at <a href="https://www.utica.edu/">Utica College</a>.
In a video, provided exclusively to the TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist team by an anonymous source, Andrew Reeves is seen screaming at his class for not properly wearing their masks.
<a href="https://www.utica.edu/covid-immunization">As of September 2021, Utica College requires all students and employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19</a>. While masks are not required for vaccinated individuals, Dr. Reeves still requires them for his class.
The incident began when a student lowered his mask to sneeze and then placed it back on his face. Dr. Reeves then reprimanded the student and ordered him to keep his mask on at all times. The student responded that it felt disgusting to sneeze into a mask that would be worn all day, with others in the class audibly agreeing.
Dr. Reeves then launched into a bizarre analogy; if two people were in the bathroom and one were to pee on the other without wearing pants, the other person would still get wet. However, if the students were wearing pants, he would only wet himself. Dr. Reeves compared this situation to the aforementioned student urging him to keep his mask on even when sneezing.
Other students then retorted that his analogy was disgusting and what he was advocating for was unsanitary. This caused Dr. Revers to launch into a profanity-laced tirade.
Dr. Reeves proceeded to accuse students of contributing to the pandemic by not wearing masks. Dr. Reeves further alleged that without masks, his unvaccinated son would contract COVID and die.
He additionally screamed that “we are in year two,” of the pandemic because “people could not wear masks for two weeks.”

&nbsp;
A source that wishes to remain anonymous confirmed there have been multiple instances of this behavior while in class. In addition to his verbal outbursts, Dr. Reeves has repeatedly removed students from his class for failing to properly secure his mask. Students have reported being thrown out of class for lowering a mask to drink water or because they could not breathe properly while covering their faces.
The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Revees for comment but has not received a reply by the time of publication.

<a href="https://www.law.uci.edu/faculty/full-time/baradaran/">Mehrsa Baradaran</a> is a professor of law at the University of California, Irvine. According to her <a href="https://www.law.uci.edu/faculty/full-time/baradaran/">university bio</a>, Baradaran previously served as Associate Dean for Strategic Initiatives, focusing on diversity and inclusion efforts. Baradaran is the author of “<a href="https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674286061">How the Other Half Banks</a>,” and, “<a href="https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674237476">The Color of Money</a>.”
Identity Politics 
Baradaran equates capitalism with white supremacy. In addition to advocating for defunding police departments, Baradaran believes that reparations to the black community are the only way to address racism in America.
In an <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/us-needs-reparations-black-americans_n_5ede5dfbc5b6fb8854dd8d00">interview with HuffPost</a>, Baradaran details her stance on reparations for the black community.  As noted in the article, Baradaran was asked by a Twitter user what her solution would be to solve racial unrest, in which she responded, “Reparations.” Baradaran had previously used her <a href="https://twitter.com/MehrsaBaradaran">Twitter account</a> to advocate for reparations and urge presidential candidates, including Vice-President Kamala Harris, to adopt them as a policy.

In the same interview with HuffPost, Baradaran states that America “broke a contract with black America,” and thus reparations are the only way to provide relief to minorities. When asked what this would look like, Baradaran references her previous proposal, the <a href="https://greatdemocracyinitiative.org/document/21st-century-homestead-act/">21st Century Homestead Act</a>. The act would implement, among other things, a “progressive” tax system, school reform, regulating corporations, the “wholesale transfer” of land to black men and women, and monetary reparations.
The interview continues with Baradaran describing the act of policing as deeply racist and based on “policing black freedom” in the South during the Jim Crow era. Before comparing police and police departments to cancer, Baradaran advocates for the complete defunding of police.

The Professor Watchlist team reached out to Mehrsa Baradaran regarding our assessment that she states that reparations will heal America’s “original sin of racism,” that she urged major presidential candidates to adopt reparations, that she’s stated capitalism in based on white supremacy, and that she stated that the “cancer” in police departments must be treated to stop police killings.
Baradaran&#8217;s response:&#8220;The first two statements are a bit of a misreading of my statements, but the last two statements are not statements I’ve ever made. That last statement—I don’t even think that so I am sure I never said it.&#8221; -Baradaran

<a href="https://www.law.uci.edu/faculty/full-time/baradaran/">Mehrsa Baradaran</a> is a professor of law at the University of California, Irvine. According to her <a href="https://www.law.uci.edu/faculty/full-time/baradaran/">university bio</a>, Baradaran previously served as Associate Dean for Strategic Initiatives, focusing on diversity and inclusion efforts. Baradaran is the author of “<a href="https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674286061">How the Other Half Banks</a>,” and, “<a href="https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674237476">The Color of Money</a>.”
Identity Politics 
Baradaran equates capitalism with white supremacy. In addition to advocating for defunding police departments, Baradaran believes that reparations to the black community are the only way to address racism in America.
In an <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/us-needs-reparations-black-americans_n_5ede5dfbc5b6fb8854dd8d00">interview with HuffPost</a>, Baradaran details her stance on reparations for the black community.  As noted in the article, Baradaran was asked by a Twitter user what her solution would be to solve racial unrest, in which she responded, “Reparations.” Baradaran had previously used her <a href="https://twitter.com/MehrsaBaradaran">Twitter account</a> to advocate for reparations and urge presidential candidates, including Vice-President Kamala Harris, to adopt them as a policy.

In the same interview with HuffPost, Baradaran states that America “broke a contract with black America,” and thus reparations are the only way to provide relief to minorities. When asked what this would look like, Baradaran references her previous proposal, the <a href="https://greatdemocracyinitiative.org/document/21st-century-homestead-act/">21st Century Homestead Act</a>. The act would implement, among other things, a “progressive” tax system, school reform, regulating corporations, the “wholesale transfer” of land to black men and women, and monetary reparations.

The interview continues with Baradaran describing the act of policing as deeply racist and based on “policing black freedom” in the South during the Jim Crow era. Before comparing police and police departments to cancer, Baradaran advocates for the complete defunding of police.

Dr. William (Bill) Gibson is a <a href="https://www.vwu.edu/marlin-directory.php?person=0000206" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chair and Professor of Political Science</a> at Virginia Wesleyan University. His areas of interest include environmental policy, nature resources management, and intergovernmental relations. The courses Dr. Gibson teaches include Conflict Management, Urban Politics, and Public Administration. In 2013, Dr. Gibson co-authored a book titled, “<a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-case-for-grassroots-collaboration-john-charles-morris/1115393897" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Case for Grassroots Collaboration: Social Capital and Ecosystem Restoration at the Local Level</a>.”
In February of 2021, Dr. Gibson found himself in hot water amongst conservatives when an <a href="https://www.yaf.org/news/vwu-professor-attacks-conservatives-in-internal-email-i-am-sickened-examine-your-conscience/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inflammatory email leaked to Young America’s Foundation</a>. In the email, Dr. Gibson resigned from his role as a chapter advisor for a conservative student group on campus. The email showed his true hatred of conservatives. It can be viewed in its entirety below.
<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1811" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-18-at-1.05.33-PM.png" alt="" width="382" height="671" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-18-at-1.05.33-PM.png 382w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-18-at-1.05.33-PM-171x300.png 171w" sizes="(max-width: 382px) 100vw, 382px" />
In the email, Dr. Gibson accuses conservatives of being compulsive liars and engaging in tribalism behaviors. He writes, “I am sickened. I have had it; I’m over it. You will have to find another faculty advisor for your group.” Dr. Gibson goes on to call conservatives a disgrace and illegitimate. He closes out the email by stating, “each of you should take a break and examine your conscience.”
According to Young America’s Foundation, the university did not comment as to whether or not they discussed the email with Dr. Gibson. As of Fall 2021, it does not appear that Dr. Gibson faced any consequences for his accusatory email to the conservative club.  It also looks like he is still teaching at the university.
