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.

<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.

When he isn’t writing peer-reviewed essays or teaching at the University of Missouri, Dr. King can often be found lecturing on the subject of education in various Missouri school districts as a <a href="https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/lawmakers-hear-testimony-in-favor-of-banning-critical-race-theory-in-missouri-schools/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“curriculum consultant.”</a> In the summer of 2021, Dr. King led a workshop for Missouri school districts on how to <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2021/07/27/missouri-teachers-crt-advocate-caught-discussing-deceive-parents/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sneak teaching of ‘white privilege’ past conservative parents</a>. In the workshop, Dr. King suggested that teachers should use different verbiage in order to get away with teaching critical race theory in the classroom.

In April of 2020, <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/157505/morbid-ideology-behind-drive-reopen-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lowndes published an article</a> in the New Republic bashing conservative officials and citizens alike for their “dangerous views” on COVID-19. In the article, he accuses conservatives in the U.S. House of Representatives of being “pathological” for their refusal to wear masks when voting on the coronavirus relief bill. He also claims conservatives only want the country to remain open to “keep the current wealth stratifications in place and protect the rich from economic harm.”
Many articles and research publications written during lockdowns detailed how <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/13/business/small-businesses-coronavirus.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">small businesses would simply not be able to survive</a> if they continued to be locked down. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/covid-19s-toll-on-u-s-business-200-000-extra-closures-in-pandemics-first-year-11618580619" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal</a> noted that roughly 200,000 businesses permanently closed because of the pandemic. Lockdowns also caused many people in the United States to lose their jobs &#8211; approximately 9.6 million Americans were let go in 2020 due to COVID-19.

<a href="http://sociology.uoregon.edu/profile/jfoster/">Dr. John Bellamy Foster</a> is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Oregon and editor of the Marxist magazine "Monthly Review.” He advocates a “red-green” alliance to abolish capitalism and considers the collapse of the Soviet empire a setback for human progress. Foster advocates what he calls "the socialization of nature,” explaining that "the more that nature is placed under the protection of people in general through democratic processes that determine the rules of sustainability, the better things are going to be." Government, in other words, should “own” nature.

In April of 2020, <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/157505/morbid-ideology-behind-drive-reopen-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lowndes published an article</a> in the New Republic bashing conservative officials and citizens alike for their “dangerous views” on COVID-19. In the article, he accuses conservatives in the U.S. House of Representatives of being “pathological” for their refusal to wear masks when voting on the coronavirus relief bill. He also claims conservatives only want the country to remain open to “keep the current wealth stratifications in place and protect the rich from economic harm.”

In an interview with C.J. Polychroniou, Chomsky <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/trump-in-the-white-house-an-interview-with-noam-chomsky/">states</a> that the Republican party is the “most dangerous organization in human history.” The New Yorker also reports Chomsky's claims that <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/noam-chomsky-believes-trump-is-the-worst-criminal-in-human-history">Donald Trump is a worse criminal than Adolf Hitler</a>.

&nbsp;
Socialism
According to the New Criterion, Chomsky frequently <a href="https://newcriterion.com/issues/2003/5/the-hypocrisy-of-noam-chomsky">praised</a> the left-wing government of the Khmer Rouge and has publically disputed the credibility and existence of the Cambodian Genocide. Committed by the Khmer Rouge and its dictatorial head Pol Pot, it is <a href="https://cla.umn.edu/chgs/holocaust-genocide-education/resource-guides/cambodia#:~:text=Lasting%20for%20four%20years%20(between,following%20the%20Cambodian%20Civil%20War.">estimated</a> that at least 1.5 and 3 million people died between 1976 and 1979. Despite <a href="https://gsp.yale.edu/case-studies/cambodian-genocide-program">detailed reports</a> of starvation and systematic executions, Chomsky denied that any widespread killings had taken place and accused reporters of repeating right-wing propaganda and sensationalizing their stories. Chomsky attributes the deaths to US imperialism and executions of subversive elements to the communist government

&nbsp;
Antisemitism
Chomsky publically defends individuals who engage in Holocaust denial. As documented in Robert F.

September 11 Attacks
Speaking at MIT following the aftermath of the <a href="https://twitter.com/TPUSA/status/1171500948964818944">September 11 terrorist attacks</a> against the United States, Chomsky <a href="http://tech.mit.edu/V121/N52/52chomsky.52n.html">asserted</a> that 9/11 represented, “the guns having been directed the other way.” The Tech, MIT’s oldest newspaper, also reports Chomsky blaming US citizens for the attacks on 9/11, and that Osama bin Laden, leader of al Qaeda, might be innocent.
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1127 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-94-e1614388858415-1024x197.png" alt="" width="580" height="112" />
Chomsky also <a href="https://www.salon.com/2001/09/26/treason_2/">stated</a> that the US casualties were far less devastating than the effects of US foreign policy around the world. Chomsky <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/noam-chomsky/">stated</a> that the United States was attempting to murder “3-4 million people” in Afganistan and that the strike against Osama bin Laden was “some sort of silent genocide.”

In an article published in 2020, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/how-many-people-died-911-thousands-perishing-september-11-related-illnesses-1531058">Newsweek found that</a> “In New York, 2,750 people were killed, at the Pentagon 184 died, and a further 40 people were killed in Pennsylvania.” Newsweek also reported that 400 first responders were killed and that 18,000 survivors have been diagnosed with “9/11-related cancer.”

Despite describing themselves as an inclusive, civil-rights organization, BLM embraces radically left-wing policies and tactics. Some of which include the following:

-<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/blm-pressures-democrats-breathe-act-prison-abolition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abolishing prisons</a>

- <a href="https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2020/07/17/black-lives-matter-activist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abolishing police forces</a>

According to a <a href="https://acleddata.com/2020/09/03/demonstrations-political-violence-in-america-new-data-for-summer-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Federalist </a>found that “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the most destructive in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

The course is officially titled, “ENGL 101A: #SayTheirNames, a Black Lives Matter Literacy.” Students will be asked to study how American values are connected to “blackness,” and “whiteness.” Ms. Chan will then ask the following:

- How does social media allow for critiques of race, gender, sexuality, and violence?

- What does it mean to say their names as an elegy, an anthem, and a language to give space for talking about Black Lives?

The phrase “Say Their Names” is frequently chanted at BLM protests. The slogan is an attempt, by activists, to draw attention to black men and women who have allegedly been murdered by police. <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/08/28/sen-rand-paul-surrounded-as-diverse-group-of-cops-defends-from-mob/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senator Rand Paul was assaulted in August of 2020 by a mob yelling “[Brianna Taylor] Say Her Name!</a>”

Taylor, whose name is depicted in the banner of the course’s announcement, was reportedly dealing narcotics with her boyfriend–Kenneth Walker—at the time of her death. <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/09/the_truth_finally_emerges_about_breonna_taylors_death.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Walker opened fire on cops executing a search warrant on his apartment</a>, resulting in Breonna (who was present) dying in the crossfire.

Listed alongside the announcement banner are the course’s assigned texts. Those enrolled are required to read the following:

- Beyonce’s “Formation.” <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2016/02/08/2970258/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The song is a tribute to the Marxist, Black Panther Party</a>.

- Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright.” <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kendrick-lamar-alright-2016-10?op=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The song is frequently sung at BLM protests</a>.

- Ta-Nehisi Coates’s “A Letter to My Son.” Coates authors a hypothetical letter to inform his son that he will grow up in a country that will <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/07/tanehisi-coates-between-the-world-and-me/397619/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">oppress him because of his skin color</a>.

The course further promises to help students improve their writing skills by crafting a social narrative based on their “own social justice.” The class itself <a href="https://catalog.arizona.edu/policy/foundations-writing-requirement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fulfills a Foundations Writing Requirement</a> for the University, which students are required to complete in order to graduate.

He has written many publications and focuses his work on racism and race in politics. He holds strong opinions about conservatives and has both written and lectured several times on the subject.

Dr. HoSang recently wrote a book with <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/josephlowndes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Joseph Lowndes</a>, who is also on the Professor Watchlist. The book, titled “<a href="https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/producers-parasites-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Producers, Parasites, Patriots: Race and the New Right-Wing Politics of Precarity</a>,” discusses white supremacy in conservative politics. In the book, Dr. HoSang accuses conservatives of being racist and participating in “multiracial white supremacy.”
According to Dr. HoSang, white conservatives work to maintain their economic power while also highlighting and praising minority conservatives in an effort to portray the concept that they aren’t racist.

In an article for the CT Mirror, Dr. HoSang alleges that “if we want to address racism in society at large, we have to address it in policing, and housing, and health care — but we also need to address it in the 3rd grade music classroom, in the 7th grade social studies classroom.”

<a href="https://provost.yale.edu/people/jason-killheffer">Jason Killheffer</a> is the Assistant Provost of Academic Integrity Programs at Yale University. As part of an undercover operation by James O’Keefe and Project Veritas, Killheffer called the Constitution propaganda. He told an undercover journalist “If your freedom of expression impacts other people’s ability to engage actively in the community, to engage in their education or really take full advantage of everything that the university has to offer, then that’s when things cross that line.” In other words, Killheffer believes that being triggered by a Constitution is a valid reason for the university to step in and possibly prevent distribution.

Daniel Martinez HoSang is <a href="https://politicalscience.yale.edu/people/daniel-hosang" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an Associate Professor</a> of Ethnicity, Race &amp; Migration and American Studies at Yale University.

In the book, Dr. HoSang accuses conservatives of being racist and participating in “multiracial white supremacy.”

According to Dr. HoSang, white conservatives work to maintain their economic power while also highlighting and praising minority conservatives in an effort to portray the concept that they aren’t racist.

He also compared Bush to Hitler, saying “All the major war-drives in modern history&#8230; in Germany, in the Soviet Union, and in the Middle East &#8212; have been impelled by people who believed that they were at risk, that they were being persecuted, that they faced annihilation. Hitler actually believed that &#8216;world Jewry&#8217; threatened Germany, and that his bloody enterprise was a means of self-defense against the Jews.

new-york-university-2

New York University

<a href="https://med.nyu.edu/faculty/arthur-l-caplan">Arthur Caplan</a> is the Dr. William F. and Virginia Connolly Mitty Professor of Bioethics at New York University (NYU) and Director of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU.

&nbsp;
Censorship
As <a href="http://www.campusreform.org/?ID=6690">reported</a> by Campus Reform, Caplan compares Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign to the rise of Adolf Hitler.

In the weeks following Donald Trump’s <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trump-announces-2016-presidential-campaign-make-country/story?id=31799741">announcement</a> that he would seek the 2016 Republican nomination, Caplan writes in <a href="https://www.poynter.org/reporting-editing/2015/commentary-the-danger-of-laughing-at-donald-trump/">Poynter, </a> a non-profit journalism and research center, that news organizations must hold Trump and the Republican party accountable “for the damage [Trump] does.” Caplan characterizes Trump’s views as racist and legitimizing of those American citizens who fear changing demographics.

While acknowledging that he views Trump’s chances as winning the nomination for the presidency unlikely, Kaplan draws parallels between Trump's campaign and the unexpected rise of Hitler in Germany.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1176 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-11T135453.240-e1615496377900-1024x345.png" alt="" width="580" height="195" />

Caplan further states in the same article that Trump is dangerous and that his speech is a classic ploy to generate fear and sow divisiveness.  Caplan urges journalists to treat more seriously the “danger” that Trump poses. Caplan accuses Trump of characterizing Mexicans as being criminals, rapists, and carrying diseases. Caplan says that these characterizations are similar to the rhetorical tactics used by the Nazi party against the Jews.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1177 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-11T140031.352-e1615496458532-1024x276.png" alt="" width="580" height="156" />

Despite his comparisons of Trump to Hitler, Caplan <a href="http://www.bioethics.net/2005/07/misusing-the-nazi-analogy/">argued</a> against the use of Nazi analogies to describe other people or political movements. In an article for bioethics.net, Caplan <a href="http://www.bioethics.net/2005/07/misusing-the-nazi-analogy/">states</a> that often those who draw analogies in arguments to Nazis, “do not know what they are talking about.”

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1178 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-11T140208.462-e1615496552778-1024x440.png" alt="" width="580" height="249" />

In the same article, Kaplan states that it is “ethically incumbent” on those who use these analogies to understand the history behind the Nazis, and not to diminish the horror of their atrocities. Kaplan describes the “cavalier” use of these analogies as “unethical.”

<a href="http://gallatin.nyu.edu/people/faculty/flr207.html">Dr. Frank Roberts</a>, a professor at New York University, warned of “Jewish elites” controlling the media, a favorite trope of anti-Semites.  He tweeted “Its crucial for the public to realize that NBC/MSNBC,The NYTimes,US News &amp; World Report, &amp; the NY Daily News are all owned by Jewish elites” and “Speaking out against Israel's massacre &amp; Jewish elites' monopoly of the American free press is not anti-Semitic. #Gaza, #Flotilla, #OilSpill.”

<a href="https://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/faculty/ulrich-c-baer.html">Dr. Ulrich Baer</a> is a Professor of Comparative Literature at New York University. He wrote an editorial in the New York Times supporting the suppression of free speech on college campuses. He claimed "The idea of freedom of speech does not mean a blanket permission to say anything anybody thinks. It means balancing the inherent value of a given view with the obligation to ensure that other members of a given community can participate in discourse as fully recognized members of that community."

<a href="https://gallatin.nyu.edu/people/faculty/amh20.html">Amin Husain</a> is a part-time faculty member at New York University and the Pratt Institute. According to the university’s website, Husain’s work focuses on “resistance and liberation, movement generated theory and practice.”

Husain is also confounded and directs the NYC-based activist group, “<a href="https://decolonizethisplace.org/">Decolonize This Place</a>” (DTP).  According to their website, DTP events center around “Indigenous Struggle, Black Liberation, Free Palestine, Global Wage Workers, and De-Gentrification.”

Husain and DTP are known for their extreme rhetoric and aggressive confrontations with law enforcement. Husain and DTP utilize ANTIFA style-tactics during protests. The <a href="https://decolonizethisplace.org/">homepage</a> of DTP regularly features videos of burning police vehicles.

Prior to the Museum of Natural History’s decision to remove their statue of Theodore Roosevelt, Husain joined a chorus of activists demanding that the statue be removed. DTP itself <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5e0c57d86cc9226827c754/t/5ee7ad184833d0007a2078fd/1592241433767/How+To+Take+Down+A+Monument_Poster.jpg">posted</a> a detailed graphic with instructions on toppling statues.

In January, DTP posted the following graphic for an upcoming <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=14391">protest</a> against the NYP. The damage from the protests led by Husain resulted in 13 arrests and over $100,000 in <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/02/15/nyu-professor-founded-anarchist-group-that-attacked-subways-last-month/">damages</a> to the NYC subway system.

As a member of NYC Solidarity With Palestine, Husain is known for using his position to entwine his anti-police and anti-Israel views. Husain projected his radicalism at the June “No To Annexation” rally, hosted by the anti-Israel group <a href="https://www.wolpalestine.com/about">Within Our Lifetimes</a>. Husain can be seen telling the crowd that police "are our enemy" in a video captured by the Middle-East watchdog the <a href="https://www.memri.org/tv/no-to-annexation-anti-israel-rally-abolish-police-israel-american-government-death-to-america">Middle East Research Institute</a>.

<a href="https://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/faculty/ruth-ben-ghiat.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Ruth Ben-Ghiat</a> is a Professor of Italian and History at <a href="https://as.nyu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York University</a>. Her <a href="https://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/faculty/ruth-ben-ghiat.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">professional biography lists her as an expert on fascism, authoritarianism, war, propaganda, and Donald Trump.</a> She is the author of the book, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Strongmen-Mussolini-Present-Ruth-Ben-Ghiat/dp/1324001542" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Strongman: From Mussolini to the Present</a>,” and frequently makes appearances on CNN and MSNBC.

Dr. Ben-Ghiat frequently criticizes conservatives, characterizing them as violent and an outright threat to democracy. She additionally alleges that supporters of the second-amendment birthed a culture that directly resulted in the January 6th “insurrection.”

In an article for CNN—titled, “Parental control is a smokescreen tactic for right-wing activists”—Dr. Ben-Ghiat <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/14/opinions/parental-control-smoke-screen-right-wing-activists-ben-ghiat/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denounces parents who object to COVID-19 restrictions in schools</a>.

She is referring to <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/orange-county-parents-protest-vaccine-mandates-at-school-board-meeting/ar-AAPZFid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nation-wide protests occurring at county and district school boards</a>.

Dr. Ben-Ghiat describes these parents as elements of the “authoritarian culture” that is eroding democracy. She specifically cites their opposition to mandatory masking and vaccination of children, alleging it stems from a “Q-Anon” belief.

She states that “anti-vaccine militants” and “white-christian evangelicals” are using “parental rights” as a smokescreen to abolish private education. She decries parents allegedly “censoring” books that would teach children about the “centrality of racism and slavery” to this country’s founding. She further criticizes calls for parental control in education, describing it as the installation of “authoritarian culture” in towns and local school boards.

In a separate article for the Washington Post—titled,”<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/10/26/gun-violence-authoritarianism-normalization/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">America’s Gun Culture is Priming Us for Authoritarianism</a>,”—Dr. Ben-Ghiat alleges the Capitol Riots are the inevitable result of an armed citizenry.

She is referring to the incident surrounding January 6, 2021 at the Capital <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/02/09/965472049/the-capitol-siege-the-arrested-and-their-stories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in which a number of protestors breached the Capitol’s Doors during certification of the 2020 Presidential Election</a>, some violently so. Despite claims to the contrary, even the FBI has determined that <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/fbi-confirms-there-was-no-insurrection-on-january-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no evidence exists that any rioters coordinated to commit an “insurrection.</a>”

Dr. Ben-Ghiat alleges that general access to lethal weapons enables “mass death” and a “democratic decline” in America. She bizarrely connects the January 6th “insurrection” to civilian ownership of firearms, alleging the later enables “mass death” and desensitizes others to human life.

Dr. Ben-Ghiat further alleges that gun owners are willing to harm others in exchange for their freedoms, alleging that no loss of life seems to deter them:

She then connects gun ownership to a rise of fascism in America, alleging that dictators controlled masses through a climate of fear and mass death. She states that gun owners are using this same formula to encourage “fundamentalist and cult ideologies'':

His research and teaching interests include International Human Rights and Middle Eastern Politics. Dr. Schorn has been published in several research journals, such as Marine Corps Journal and Journal of Politics.
Dr. Schorn is openly pro-critical race theory in both the media and in his personal life. <a href="https://www.sdpb.org/blogs/kevinwoster/in-defense-of-critical-race-theory-what-it-is-and-what-it-isnt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In an article for South Dakota Public Broadcasting</a>, Dr. Schorn vehemently supports critical race theory in the classroom. According to Dr. Schorn, “you have to look at the institutionalization of slavery; you look at the laws and policies on voting requirements and moves to restrict voting access; you look at mandatory sentencing and which classes of people that affects the most — certainly poor, generally minority communities are affected more than the white middle class.”
Dr. Schorn goes on to say that he educates his students about critical race theory in all of his classrooms. He also states that critical race theory teaches that we created a legal system in the United States that is inherently racist, as it affects minorities more negatively than white Americans. Dr. Schorn also accuses America of being racist against minorities because of voting requirements and voting access restrictions.

<a href="https://gened.as.virginia.edu/walsh">David Austin Walsh</a> is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia. His academic work centers on alleging active links between the far-right and conservatism over the past two centuries. Walsh <a href="https://gened.as.virginia.edu/egmt-1530-hateinnany-fascism-antifascism-and-global-far-right">teaches a course titled</a> Hateinnany: Fascism, Antifascism, and the Global Far Right.
In an attempt to tie far-right extremism to mainstream conservatism, Walsh has penned various articles attempting to connect mainstream conservatism with mass shootings. Writing for Arc Digital, he describes the <a href="https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/2019/08/05/el-paso-shooting-victim-list-names-identified-walmart-tx-texas/1918691001/">El Paso shooter’s</a> violent and bigoted ideology as <a href="https://arcdigital.media/the-el-paso-shooter-and-donald-trump-share-the-same-politics-so-why-doesnt-the-media-say-so-aff5062c26b1">identical to widely-held conservative stances</a>.

Dr. <a href="https://www.csustan.edu/ppa/asad-abukhalil">As’ad AbuKhalil</a>—a self-described “<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110726141337/http://harpers.org/archive/2006/07/sb-a-statue-to-reason-1152745267">former Marxist-Leninist” who now identifies as an anarchist</a>—is a Professor of Political Science, Public Administration, and Leadership Studies at California State University-Stanislaus. Throughout his lectures and public appearances, Dr. AbuKhalil excuses Islamic terrorism, engages in anti-semitic tropes, and has even called for the destruction of the nation of Israel.
When discussing Islamic extremism, Dr. AbuKhalil attempts to equivocate or outright justify violence committed by groups like Hamas or Hezbollah, both radical Islamist militant groups. In an interview with Harper’s Magazine in July 2006, Dr. AbuKhalil <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110726141337/http://harpers.org/archive/2006/07/sb-a-statue-to-reason-1152745267">accuses Israel of committing terrorist attacks that far exceed that of Hamas</a>.

Both <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/profile/129/hamas">Hamas</a> and <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/profile/131/hizballah">Hezbollah</a> are designated by the US government as terrorist organizations. The charter of Hamas explicitly <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp">calls for Islam and its adherents to destroy Israel</a>, and the organization’s <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/05/hamas-and-other-terror-groups-fire-rockets-from-gaza-civilian-areas-towards-jerusalem-other-israeli-cities/">purposeful targeting of unarmed civilians is well documented</a>. Hezbollah’s founder, Hassan Nasrallah, was quoted by a Lebanese newspaper in 2002 outlining <a href="https://www.camera.org/article/hassan-nasrallah-in-his-own-words/">his desire to kill as many Jews as possible</a>.

Many of Dr. AbuKhalil’s speeches contain antisemitic tropes that simply replace the word “Jew” with “zionist.” One of his favorite accusations is that Jews in prominent positions are leveraging their power to silence dissidents. In an October 2014 speech at the University of Texas-Austin—and captured by Social JusticeNow—Dr. AbuKhalil alleged <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSkI2T_9gCk&amp;t=202s&amp;ab_channel=MiddleEastInstituteMiddleEastInstitute">that “Zionists” have been effective at intimidating Congress and </a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSkI2T_9gCk&amp;t=202s&amp;ab_channel=MiddleEastInstituteMiddleEastInstitute">universities to silence anti-Israel activists.</a>

&nbsp;
Dr. AbuKhalil made a similar <a href="https://www.memri.org/tv/lebanese-american-professor-asad-abukhalil-incitement-saudi-media-ignored-due-israeli-alliance">statement</a> during his appearance on Al-Jazeera—captured and recorded by MEMRI—again claiming the Zionists are attempting to silence his “hatred” towards Israel.

During the COVID-19 outbreak, <a href="https://twitter.com/asadabukhalil/status/1236722475687227392">Dr. AbuKhalil bizarrely speculated</a> that Israel would use the pandemic as a precursor to placing Arabs in concentration camps.

Dr. AbuKhalil is a proponent of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. During the same lecture at the University of Texas-Austin, he expressed that his “wish” that BDS will <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSkI2T_9gCk&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=3m20s">lead to the destruction of Israel</a> and subsequent replacement with an Arab-majority state.

&nbsp;
BDS—short for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions—supporters embrace the following three tenets as a feature of the campaign:
&#8211; Boycotting all goods that originate from the state of Israel;
&#8211; Divesting all funds (private or public) that are allocated to Israel; and
&#8211; Placing sanctions exclusively on Israel.
Mr. Omar Barghoutti, a co-founder of the BDS movement, admits that the ultimate outcome of these steps is the <a href="https://twitter.com/StandWithUs/status/1267561561565958144">dismantlement of the state of Israel</a>.

Dr. <a href="https://www.csustan.edu/ppa/asad-abukhalil">As’ad AbuKhalil</a>—a self-described “<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110726141337/http://harpers.org/archive/2006/07/sb-a-statue-to-reason-1152745267">former Marxist-Leninist” who now identifies as an anarchist</a>—is a Professor of Political Science, Public Administration, and Leadership Studies at California State University-Stanislaus. Throughout his lectures and public appearances, Dr. AbuKhalil excuses Islamic terrorism, engages in anti-semitic tropes, and has even called for the destruction of the nation of Israel.
When discussing Islamic extremism, Dr. AbuKhalil attempts to equivocate or outright justify violence committed by groups like Hamas or Hezbollah, both radical Islamist militant groups. In an interview with Harper’s Magazine in July 2006, Dr. AbuKhalil <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110726141337/http://harpers.org/archive/2006/07/sb-a-statue-to-reason-1152745267">accuses Israel of committing terrorist attacks that far exceed that of Hamas</a>.

During a 2013 panel—captured by the group Public Solidarity—in Germany, Dr. AbuKhalil <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xb4F8JpUL8&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=12m27s">lauded the radical jihadist group, Hezbollah</a>, and his remarks were subsequently applauded by those in attendance:

&nbsp;
Both <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/profile/129/hamas">Hamas</a> and <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/profile/131/hizballah">Hezbollah</a> are designated by the US government as terrorist organizations. The charter of Hamas explicitly <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp">calls for Islam and its adherents to destroy Israel</a>, and the organization’s <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/05/hamas-and-other-terror-groups-fire-rockets-from-gaza-civilian-areas-towards-jerusalem-other-israeli-cities/">purposeful targeting of unarmed civilians is well documented</a>. Hezbollah’s founder, Hassan Nasrallah, was quoted by a Lebanese newspaper in 2002 outlining <a href="https://www.camera.org/article/hassan-nasrallah-in-his-own-words/">his desire to kill as many Jews as possible</a>.
<img class="size-large wp-image-1453 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-06-24T140918.390-e1624569204318-1024x243.png" alt="" width="580" height="138" />
Many of Dr. AbuKhalil’s speeches contain antisemitic tropes that simply replace the word “Jew” with “zionist.” One of his favorite accusations is that Jews in prominent positions are leveraging their power to silence dissidents. In an October 2014 speech at the University of Texas-Austin—and captured by Social JusticeNow—Dr. AbuKhalil alleged <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSkI2T_9gCk&amp;t=202s&amp;ab_channel=MiddleEastInstituteMiddleEastInstitute">that “Zionists” have been effective at intimidating Congress and </a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSkI2T_9gCk&amp;t=202s&amp;ab_channel=MiddleEastInstituteMiddleEastInstitute">universities to silence anti-Israel activists.</a>

&nbsp;
Dr. AbuKhalil made a similar <a href="https://www.memri.org/tv/lebanese-american-professor-asad-abukhalil-incitement-saudi-media-ignored-due-israeli-alliance">statement</a> during his appearance on Al-Jazeera—captured and recorded by MEMRI—again claiming the Zionists are attempting to silence his “hatred” towards Israel.

&nbsp;
During the COVID-19 outbreak, <a href="https://twitter.com/asadabukhalil/status/1236722475687227392">Dr. AbuKhalil bizarrely speculated</a> that Israel would use the pandemic as a precursor to placing Arabs in concentration camps.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
Dr. AbuKhalil is a proponent of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. During the same lecture at the University of Texas-Austin, he expressed that his “wish” that BDS will <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSkI2T_9gCk&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=3m20s">lead to the destruction of Israel</a> and subsequent replacement with an Arab-majority state.

&nbsp;
BDS—short for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions—supporters embrace the following three tenets as a feature of the campaign:
- Boycotting all goods that originate from the state of Israel;

- Divesting all funds (private or public) that are allocated to Israel; and

- Placing sanctions exclusively on Israel.
Mr. Omar Barghoutti, a co-founder of the BDS movement, admits that the ultimate outcome of these steps is the <a href="https://twitter.com/StandWithUs/status/1267561561565958144">dismantlement of the state of Israel</a>.

<a href="https://wgss.osu.edu/people/lindsey.268" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Treva Lindsey</a> is an Associate Professor in the <a href="https://wgss.osu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.osu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Ohio State University.</a> According to her university bio, Dr. Lindsay specializes in areas such as African American Women’s History, black feminism, critical race, and gender theory, among other sexual politics.
Dr. Lindsay frequently writes and is invited to lecture about sexual assault prevention on college campuses. In a video of a lecture at Portland State University, Dr. Lindsay can be heard <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZugy4C-Udg&amp;ab_channel=PortlandStateUniversity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggesting rehabilitating those who’ve committed sexual assault by teaching them to unlearn their “toxic masculinity” and innate homophobia</a>.
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-7" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Treva-Lindsay-Unlearing-toxic-massculinity-.mp4?_=7" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Treva-Lindsay-Unlearing-toxic-massculinity-.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Treva-Lindsay-Unlearing-toxic-massculinity-.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
Dr. Treva Lindsay frequently writes for a number of prominent publications—such as <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2015/9/5/race-in-the-us-herstory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Al Jazeera</a>, <a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/author/14721/treva-lindsey/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cosmopolitan</a>, and <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/27/opinions/r-kelly-conviction-black-women-and-girls-lindsey/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>— accusing the United States of being systematically racist and calling for the abolishment of policing. She additionally praises the BLM movement for its alleged efforts to combat systemic racism.
Black Lives Matter (BLM,) as an organization, was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder. After a jury acquitted Zimmerman in 2013, <a href="https://patrissecullors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrice Cullors</a> joined with <a href="https://aliciagarza.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alicia Garza</a> and <a href="https://www.opaltometi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Opal Tometi</a> to found the organization. BLM’s mission is to “eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes.”
In an article for Complex, Dr. Lindsay praises BLM and its umbrella organization, the Movement for Black Lives, for their <a href="https://www.complex.com/life/2017/02/black-history-month-five-years-after-trayvon-martin-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">role in awakening Americans to the reality of “anti-black racism</a>.” In the same article, she alleges that “millions” of black Americans have been victims of systemic racism for hundreds of years, and still are today.
In a separate article for NBC News, Dr. Lindsay decries the  passage of Juneteenth, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/juneteenth-honors-black-emancipation-hope-equality-federal-holiday-doesn-t-ncna1271356" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describing it as trivial and merely a “symbolic gesture.</a>” A bill to make Juneteenth—a holiday <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/abolition-of-slavery-announced-in-texas-juneteenth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrating the announcement that slavery had ended in Texas</a>— a national holiday was passed with the <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-signs-bill-making-juneteenth-a-federal-holiday/ar-AAL92UE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bipartisan support of both houses</a> before it was signed into law in June of 2020.
Nonetheless, Dr. Lindsay writes that she can’t help but feel “contempt” towards white people for their support, critiquing the holiday as inadequate to combat “sanctioned white supremacy.”

Referencing an August 2020 incident, a <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/law-and-order/2021/04/20/graphic-video-columbus-police-release-bodycam-video-of-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbus, Ohio police officer was called over a domestic dispute involving Bryant</a>. When the officer arrived, Bryant was at the center of a fight with several other girls. Bryant then drew a knife and the responding officer ordered her to drop the weapon. Bryant then lunged at another girl with the knife, causing the officer to shoot and fatally wound her.
Despite <a href="https://twitter.com/shanermurph/status/1384703749046915074?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1384703749046915074%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.breitbart.com%2Flaw-and-order%2F2021%2F04%2F20%2Fgraphic-video-columbus-police-release-bodycam-video-of-shooting%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">evidence from the body-cam exonerating his actions</a>, Dr. Lindsay still alleges the incident is further proof of systemic racism and brutality directed specifically at black Americans. In an article for the site Truthout, she describes the officer’s actions—along with anyone who would defend them—<a href="https://truthout.org/articles/we-are-fighting-for-a-world-where-makhia-bryant-would-have-lived/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as the normalization of police violence and “erasing the long and inglorious history” of police violence against black people</a>. Dr. Lindsay further states that Bryant should still be alive while calling for the defunding and eventual abolishment of police.
“Police do not make us safer. Police do not make Black children safer. Not at school. Not on university campuses. Not at home. As the body camera footage shows, police escalate. The killing of Ma’Khia is yet another painful reminder of why a growing number of people are focusing their energies on building alternatives to policing and demanding that we defund the police. It’s a reminder why so many people are agitating to remove the police from our homes, communities, and schools — and eventually abolish policing altogether.”
Despite her defense of Byrant, Dr. Lindsay holds a paradoxical stance on the police shooting of Ashli Babbitt. In a separate article for Bitch Media, Dr. Lindsay <a href="https://www.bitchmedia.org/article/not-applying-say-her-name-to-white-supremacists" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defends the actions of the Capitol Officer who shot Babbitt</a>. Describing her as a white supremacist—and providing no evidence—who took part in an insurrection alongside a “lynch mob.”
Dr. Lindsay is referring to the January 6th Capitol Hill Riots, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/02/09/965472049/the-capitol-siege-the-arrested-and-their-stories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in which a number of protestors breached the Capitol’s Doors during certification of the 2020 Presidential Election</a>. Despite claims to the contrary, even the FBI has determined that <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/fbi-confirms-there-was-no-insurrection-on-january-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no evidence exists that any rioters coordinated to commit an “insurrection.</a>” Ashli Babbitt was shot by Officer Michael Byrd as she attempted to climb through the broken window of a closed door. A review by the DC Metropolitan Police<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/documents-ashli-babbitt-death-foia-capitol-police" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> confirmed that Babbitt was unarmed when shot</a>.

On his personal Twitter account, Dr. Jeffries <a href="https://twitter.com/ProfJeffries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">frequently characterizes conservatives as white nationalists, supremacists and other epithets</a>. In one tweet, he lashes out at South Carolina Senator Tim Scott—currently the sole black Republican in the United States Senate—as the “blackface” of white supremacy.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

In other lectures, Dr. Jeffries portrays America as a systemically racist nation. He thus defends critical race theory as necessary to understand oppression and the history of racism in the United States.

As <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro writes</a> for Breitbart News, critical race theory—also referred to as “critical theory”—is an intellectual branch of Marxism that views America and all of its institutions as being infected with white supremacy—to the point of some, including <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claiming</a> 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 a speech for <a href="https://www.cityclub.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The City Club of Cleveland</a>, Dr. Jeffries <a href="https://www.cityclub.org/forums/2021/08/20/misunderstanding-critical-race-theory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lauds critical race theory as necessary to understand that racism is “systemic, deeply embedded, and produces racial inequality in our society</a>.” At one point while addressing the accusation that critical race theory brands all white people as racist, Dr. Jeffries retorts that while all white people are not born racist, all white people born in America are, in fact, racist.

&nbsp;

He further characterizes any opposition to critical race theory as a “racial reckoning” used to whip up conservative voters as “racism is the greatest organizing force” in American history. While denying that critical race theory is taught in American schools, he nonetheless advocates for students to learn it.

In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Dr. Jeffries conducts training for local school districts in Ohio. In one lesson plan for <a href="https://www.olentangy.k12.oh.us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Olentangy Local School District </a>obtained by the Professor Watchlist team, Dr. Jeffries advises teachers on how to teach critical theory and social justice movements to their students.

In Section One—titled, “Confronting Hard History: Teaching and Talking About Race and Racism in K-12 Classrooms,”—Dr. Jeffries addresses the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and instructs teachers to incorporate the movement’s tenets into their lesson plans.

According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Federalist</a> found, “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

Despite the destruction, Dr. Jeffries lauds the protests for seeking justice for systemic racism. He urges educators to incorporate this into their lesson plans when teaching about BLM. He further endorses explicitly discussing race and racial issues in the classroom as not doing so— or what Dr. Jeffries defines it as the “color-blind trap”— seeks to “erase” the experiences of people of color.

In part two of the training, Dr. Jeffries instructs teachers that America was founded in the year 1619 rather than 1776. He states that it is vital to understand the nation was founded on the double-helix of racism and capitalism.

Dr. Nikole Hannah Jones likewise <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims</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. <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Though now retracted for numerous false claims</a>, the documents have now been <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added to the curriculum of 4,500 schools across the country</a>.

Dr. Jones further states that it is vital to teach children how racism is encoded into the Constitution and our founding documents, as well as to regard founding fathers like James Madison as virulent racists.

Throughout each lecture, Dr. Jeffries stresses the importance of teaching about the lingering effects of racism to students today.

<a href="https://wgss.osu.edu/people/lindsey.268" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Treva Lindsey</a> is an Associate Professor in the <a href="https://wgss.osu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.osu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Ohio State University.</a> According to her university bio, Dr. Lindsay specializes in areas such as African American Women’s History, black feminism, critical race, and gender theory, among other sexual politics.

Dr. Lindsay frequently writes and is invited to lecture about sexual assault prevention on college campuses. In a video of a lecture at Portland State University, Dr. Lindsay can be heard <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZugy4C-Udg&amp;ab_channel=PortlandStateUniversity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggesting rehabilitating those who’ve committed sexual assault by teaching them to unlearn their “toxic masculinity” and innate homophobia</a>.

&nbsp;

Dr. Treva Lindsay frequently writes for a number of prominent publications—such as <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2015/9/5/race-in-the-us-herstory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Al Jazeera</a>, <a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/author/14721/treva-lindsey/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cosmopolitan</a>, and <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/27/opinions/r-kelly-conviction-black-women-and-girls-lindsey/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>— accusing the United States of being systematically racist and calling for the abolishment of policing. She additionally praises the BLM movement for its alleged efforts to combat systemic racism.

Black Lives Matter (BLM,) as an organization, was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder. After a jury acquitted Zimmerman in 2013, <a href="https://patrissecullors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrice Cullors</a> joined with <a href="https://aliciagarza.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alicia Garza</a> and <a href="https://www.opaltometi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Opal Tometi</a> to found the organization. BLM’s mission is to “eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes.”

In an article for Complex, Dr. Lindsay praises BLM and its umbrella organization, the Movement for Black Lives, for their <a href="https://www.complex.com/life/2017/02/black-history-month-five-years-after-trayvon-martin-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">role in awakening Americans to the reality of “anti-black racism</a>.” In the same article, she alleges that “millions” of black Americans have been victims of systemic racism for hundreds of years, and still are today.

In a separate article for NBC News, Dr. Lindsay decries the  passage of Juneteenth, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/juneteenth-honors-black-emancipation-hope-equality-federal-holiday-doesn-t-ncna1271356" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describing it as trivial and merely a “symbolic gesture.</a>” A bill to make Juneteenth—a holiday <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/abolition-of-slavery-announced-in-texas-juneteenth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrating the announcement that slavery had ended in Texas</a>— a national holiday was passed with the <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-signs-bill-making-juneteenth-a-federal-holiday/ar-AAL92UE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bipartisan support of both houses</a> before it was signed into law in June of 2020.

Nonetheless, Dr. Lindsay writes that she can’t help but feel “contempt” towards white people for their support, critiquing the holiday as inadequate to combat “sanctioned white supremacy.”

She mirrors her characterization in an article for Bustle, describing the history of the United States as <a href="https://www.bustle.com/p/the-lack-of-mobilized-outrage-for-police-killing-black-women-is-injurious-erasure-22953764" target="_blank" rel="noopener">encompassing the murder of black people from slavery to the present day</a>.

Dr. Lindsay builds on her allegation in another article for Complex, <a href="https://www.complex.com/life/2016/09/blue-lives-matter-bill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">specifically citing “racist policing” and “police brutality'' as the 2 “most visible” forms of state violence</a> against black people. As such, Dr. Lindsay has openly called for the defunding of police on her <a href="https://twitter.com/divafeminist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal Twitter account</a>.

In one tweet, she calls for the abolishment of police officers following the death of Ma’Khia Bryant.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Referencing an August 2020 incident, a <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/law-and-order/2021/04/20/graphic-video-columbus-police-release-bodycam-video-of-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbus, Ohio police officer was called over a domestic dispute involving Bryant</a>. When the officer arrived, Bryant was at the center of a fight with several other girls. Bryant then drew a knife and the responding officer ordered her to drop the weapon. Bryant then lunged at another girl with the knife, causing the officer to shoot and fatally wound her.

Despite <a href="https://twitter.com/shanermurph/status/1384703749046915074?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1384703749046915074%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.breitbart.com%2Flaw-and-order%2F2021%2F04%2F20%2Fgraphic-video-columbus-police-release-bodycam-video-of-shooting%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">evidence from the body-cam exonerating his actions</a>, Dr. Lindsay still alleges the incident is further proof of systemic racism and brutality directed specifically at black Americans. In an article for the site Truthout, she describes the officer’s actions—along with anyone who would defend them—<a href="https://truthout.org/articles/we-are-fighting-for-a-world-where-makhia-bryant-would-have-lived/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as the normalization of police violence and “erasing the long and inglorious history” of police violence against black people</a>. Dr. Lindsay further states that Bryant should still be alive while calling for the defunding and eventual abolishment of police.

“Police do not make us safer. Police do not make Black children safer. Not at school. Not on university campuses. Not at home. As the body camera footage shows, police escalate. The killing of Ma’Khia is yet another painful reminder of why a growing number of people are focusing their energies on building alternatives to policing and demanding that we defund the police. It’s a reminder why so many people are agitating to remove the police from our homes, communities, and schools — and eventually abolish policing altogether.”

Despite her defense of Byrant, Dr. Lindsay holds a paradoxical stance on the police shooting of Ashli Babbitt. In a separate article for Bitch Media, Dr. Lindsay <a href="https://www.bitchmedia.org/article/not-applying-say-her-name-to-white-supremacists" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defends the actions of the Capitol Officer who shot Babbitt</a>. Describing her as a white supremacist—and providing no evidence—who took part in an insurrection alongside a “lynch mob.”

Dr. Lindsay is referring to the January 6th Capitol Hill Riots, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/02/09/965472049/the-capitol-siege-the-arrested-and-their-stories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in which a number of protestors breached the Capitol’s Doors during certification of the 2020 Presidential Election</a>. Despite claims to the contrary, even the FBI has determined that <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/fbi-confirms-there-was-no-insurrection-on-january-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no evidence exists that any rioters coordinated to commit an “insurrection.</a>” Ashli Babbitt was shot by Officer Michael Byrd as she attempted to climb through the broken window of a closed door. A review by the DC Metropolitan Police<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/documents-ashli-babbitt-death-foia-capitol-police" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> confirmed that Babbitt was unarmed when shot</a>.

After being introduced by Women and Gender Studies professor, Dr. Malaklou, Brandzel opens her lecture acknowledging that as a “white settler,” she is giving a lecture on colonized land taken from the Navajo, Pueblo, and Comanche Nations.
Throughout her lecture, Brandzel implies that America is an inherently racist country that codifies “whiteness” into its laws. Brandzel describes whiteness as a set of rights and privileges that only benefit white, European/American men, and ostracize non-white minorities. Brandzel then alleges that whiteness is synonymous with being an American citizen.
To justify her reasoning, Brandzel cites past Supreme Court cases such as <a href="https://www.britannica.com/event/Dred-Scott-decision">Dred Scott v Sandford</a>, in which the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution did not provide citizenship for black slaves, as well as contemporary immigration restrictions from President Donald Trump, to allege that our nation restricts rights to white citizens and inflicts terrorism on minority populations.
Brandzel goes on to state that many laws today, such as Voter ID laws, continue to be weaponized against African-Americans. She alleges that these and other laws serve to make people of color feel like they do not belong as citizens in the country.
Brandzel states that it is the job of white women like herself and white people in the audience to “unpack” their privilege inherent in citizenship before it’s possible to address the systemic racism in America.

Dr. Peters advocates for more LGBTQ representation in the academic community. In a talk with Tulane University’s Master’s of Science in Bioethics and Humanities program, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLPf5BpqjII" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he describes the current state of representation in academia as tokenism.</a> His lecture defines tokenism as diversity without meaningful inclusion. He believes that LGBTQ individuals feel that they must assimilate to succeed and that there’s a dominant narrative of heterosexuality and a gender binary throughout medical school. He believes that true inclusion doesn’t just increase the number of LGBTQ individuals but changes the overall culture of the organization.

&nbsp;
In the same lecture, Dr. Peters discusses states’ attempts to pass legislation he views as “anti-trans”. He calls for people in the medical community to speak out against these bills and alleges that if some of these bills are passed, transgender people will die.
The bills that Dr. Peters refers to focus on banning biological boys from girls&#8217; sports and restricting or banning transition surgeries and hormones for minors.

In a June 2021 Twitter thread titled “Professionalism is a Trojan Horse”, Dr. Peters <a href="https://twitter.com/queersurgeon/status/1401660683754741765" target="_blank" rel="noopener">says that professionalism has long been used as a “trojan horse” to disguise homophobia, transphobia, racism, and sexism</a>. In an interview for OHSU’s oral histories, he goes on to say that professionalism is defined by those in power who are majority white, cisgender, heterosexual men.

In another part of the OHSU interview, Dr. Peters <a href="https://scholararchive.ohsu.edu/concern/etds/6w924c46s?locale=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states that queer people in the medical community aren’t always safe to speak up when they want to and have been oppressed by the “medical patriarchy”.</a> He goes on to say that he’s had to accept and acknowledge how much privilege he holds as a white person who is cisgender passing.
In an op-ed for MedPage, Dr. Peters <a href="https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/second-opinions/93186" target="_blank" rel="noopener">goes on to say that transgender women and queer people of color are some of the most oppressed members of our society.</a> He believes that the medical community has historically oppressed queer people and that being queer in medicine and surgery is an act of resistance.

Daniel F. Liefwalker is a<a href="https://ohsu.pure.elsevier.com/en/persons/daniel-liefwalker" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> research assistant professor</a> at Oregon Health &amp; Science University. His areas of interest include molecular and medical genetics. He has penned a few publications related to DNA and genetic coding.

When he isn’t teaching or in the lab researching genetics, he can be found rioting with ANTIFA. In August of 2020, Liefwalker was <a href="https://rosterhome.blogspot.com/2020/08/daniel-leafwalker-arrested-in-multnomah.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested around 3am</a> for trespassing in Portland, which is a class C misdemeanor. He was arrested alongside 23 other ANTIFA rioters. The “protest” turned violent when a man was spotted trying to light the city hall building on fire, and other ANTIFA rioters were throwing items at police officers. He was released on his own recognizance, and additional information regarding the court case is not currently available.

As reported by <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/dhs-leaked-email-confirms-that-antifa-is-an-organized-group" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Post-Millennial</a>, leaked emails from the Department of Homeland Security show that law enforcement agencies identify ANTIFA as an organization that engages in “organized” rather than sporadic violence. Many<a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/guns-knives-and-other-weapons-confiscated-from-suspects-at-portland-antifa-riot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> members arm themselves with knives and firearms</a> to violently confront conservatives at events. In the Summer of 2021,<a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/us-attorneys-office-in-dc-refuses-to-investigate-attack-on-rand-paul/"> members of ANTIFA attacked Senator Rand Paul</a> and his wife as they walked through Washington D.C.

<a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/07/30/24-people-killed-george-floyd-riots-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to The Daily Caller</a>, at least 24 people died during ANTIFA riots in the two-month span after George Floyd’s death. Countless others were injured during these riots as well.

The arrest in August 2020 was not Liefwalker’s first run-in with the law, however. According to <a href="https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1297744227384737792" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American conservative journalist Andy Ngo</a>, Liefwalker was arrested in 2008 at Oregon State University for “drunken, belligerent, and aggressive behavior.”

Oregon Health &amp; Science University has remained silent in regards to Liefwalker’s ANTIFA-related arrest. As of Fall 2021, he is still teaching at the university.

Dr. Peters advocates for more LGBTQ representation in the academic community. In a talk with Tulane University’s Master’s of Science in Bioethics and Humanities program, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLPf5BpqjII" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he describes the current state of representation in academia as tokenism.</a> His lecture defines tokenism as diversity without meaningful inclusion. He believes that LGBTQ individuals feel that they must assimilate to succeed and that there’s a dominant narrative of heterosexuality and a gender binary throughout medical school. He believes that true inclusion doesn’t just increase the number of LGBTQ individuals but changes the overall culture of the organization.

&nbsp;

In the same lecture, Dr. Peters discusses states’ attempts to pass legislation he views as “anti-trans”. He calls for people in the medical community to speak out against these bills and alleges that if some of these bills are passed, transgender people will die.

The bills that Dr. Peters refers to focus on banning biological boys from girls' sports and restricting or banning transition surgeries and hormones for minors.

In a June 2021 Twitter thread titled “Professionalism is a Trojan Horse”, Dr. Peters <a href="https://twitter.com/queersurgeon/status/1401660683754741765" target="_blank" rel="noopener">says that professionalism has long been used as a “trojan horse” to disguise homophobia, transphobia, racism, and sexism</a>. In an interview for OHSU’s oral histories, he goes on to say that professionalism is defined by those in power who are majority white, cisgender, heterosexual men.

In an op-ed for MedPage, Dr. Peters <a href="https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/second-opinions/93186" target="_blank" rel="noopener">goes on to say that transgender women and queer people of color are some of the most oppressed members of our society.</a> He believes that the medical community has historically oppressed queer people and that being queer in medicine and surgery is an act of resistance.

<a href="https://polisci.ucsd.edu/people/faculty/faculty-directory/adjunct-faculty/fletcher-profile.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nathan Fletcher</a> is a Professor of Practice in the Department of Political Science at the University of California &#8211; San Diego. The University <a href="https://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/feature/nathan_fletcher_named_first_professor_of_practice_at_uc_san_diego" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describes</a> the position as one that brings “distinguished professionals” who are “leaders in their fields.”  In addition, Fletcher serves as the <a href="https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/general/bos.html">Chair</a> of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.
During an online strategy session with California Democratic Party leaders to oppose the ongoing efforts to recall Governor Gavin Newsom, Fletcher began his <a href="https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/communities/east-county/santee/story/2021-02-11/santee-council-approves-letter-chastising-county-supervisor-nathan-fletcher" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remarks</a> referencing the January 6th riots on Capitol Hill.
According to <a href="https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?lawCode=CONS&amp;article=II" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Article II, Section 13-20 of the  California Constitution</a>, a sitting Governor of the state may be recalled, or voted out of office, in the middle of his term for virtually any reason. An election for governor is automatically triggered if petitioners gather enough signatures to match 12% of the total voter turnout of the previous Governor&#8217;s election, equivalent to 1.5 million signatures in 2021, within 160 days of initially filing the petition. As of February 2021, organizers <a href="https://www.ktvn.com/story/43421481/petition-to-recall-governor-gavin-newsom-passes-level-needed-to-potentially-trigger-recall-election">announced</a> that 1.8 million Californians have signed the recall petition.
Fletcher labels President Donald Trump an existential threat to our country, then proceeds to refer to conservatives that are taking part in the recall effort of Gov. Newsom as “Neo-Nazis” and white supremacists.
In the Zoom <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyfhl9SLAjI&amp;ab_channel=KUSINews" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recording</a> that is listed below, Fletcher refers to the riots as “terrorism” and asks his fellow Democratic party members to denounce them. Fletcher references his combat experience as a Marine to draw parallels between his training to defend American embassies to the “storming” of the capitol by “enemies of America.”

Describing the riots as a “direct attack on our democracy,” Fletcher assigns blame to Donald Trump as the inspiration for the riot at the Capitol.

Peter Beinart

<a href="https://www.journalism.cuny.edu/faculty/peter-beinart/">Peter Beinart</a> is a Professor of Journalism and Political Science at the City University of New York. He is known as an active critic of the state Israel, supports the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, and blames Hamas terrorism on the state of Israel.
Beinart has <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/19/opinion/to-save-israel-boycott-the-settlements.html?_r=1&amp;ref=opinion&amp;pagewanted=all">advocated</a> for the BDS movement to serve as a way to influence Israeli policy making. Beinart has gone so far as to suggest sanctions be put on any products made by Israelis in the West Bank. 
While a fierce critic of Israel, Beinart often excuses Islamic terrorism as understandable and morally equivalent counter-reaction to Israel. In fact, he even goes so far in his book, The Crisis of Zionism, to complement the terrorist organization Hamas. He writes, “[Hamas] has in recent years issued several new documents, which are more compatible with a two-state solution.” 
In a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2019/08/19/rich-lowry-peter-beinart-debate-omar-tlaib-israel-trip-sot-lead-vpx.cnn">viral</a> debate with National Review editor Rich Lowry, Beinart was quick to defend Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar after they had been denied entry into Israel on account for their support of the BDS movement. When Lowry pointed out that each were traveling with known extremist groups that support terrorism, Beinart began frantically shouting over Lowry, claiming that terrorism is only response to the violenct Israel perpetrates.
Recently, Beinart wrote in the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/08/opinion/israel-annexation-two-state-solution.html">New York Times</a> that he no longer believes that Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish State.

<a href="https://www.usafa.edu/facultyprofile/?smid=11106" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lynne Chandler Garcia</a> is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the <a href="https://www.usafa.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">United States Air Force Academy</a> in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In July of 2021, she made national headlines for her vocal support for teaching critical race theory in the military.
Ben Shapiro defines critical race theory—also referred to as critical theory—in an article for Breitbart, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as an “intellectual branch of Marxism that alleges American society and all of its founding institutions are infected with white supremacy</a>”. 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.”
Authoring a piece in the Washington Post, Dr. Garcia boasts—<a href="https://taskandpurpose.com/news/defense-secretary-austin-matt-gaetz-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in apparent defiance of the United States Military’s announcement that critical race theory is not taught in academies</a>—that she does, in fact, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/07/06/military-academies-should-teach-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teach critical race theory to cadets</a>. She further describes her efforts as “vital” to understanding systemic racism.

Continuing, Dr. Garcia insinuates that racism is embedded in the Constitution and that critical race theory is vital to understanding this and the inequality that is, “endemic in American society.”
“Critical race theory provides an academic framework to understand these nuances and contradictions [in the Constitution]. It helps students identify the structural racism and inequality that has been endemic in American society. And it provides methods for deconstructing and oppressive beliefs, policies, and practices to find solutions that will lead to justice.” 
Dr. Garcia further cites several reports in an attempt to demonstrate that discrimination is embedded into branches of the military. Dr. Garcia endorses critical race theory to combat the “threat of white supremacy” amongst its ranks.
“In other words, racism was ingrained in the system from the beginning, and the military still struggles with these issues. As a recent inspector general’s report on disparities in the Air Force and Space Force pointed out, black {sic} service members lag behind their white peers in promotion rates but are over-represented in disciplinary actions. Further, a recent Defense Department report documented the threat of white supremacy within the ranks.” 
Dr. Garcia’s remarks drew a fierce reaction from lawmakers upon publication. <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cotton-rips-us-air-force-academy-prof-for-teaching-critical-race-theory-shes-trying-to-indoctrinate-cadets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a statement to Fox News</a>, Arkansas Senator, Tom Cotton, wrote, “We should not be teaching and indoctrinating our cadets to believe that our military is a fundamentally racist institution.”
Despite Dr. Garcia’s admission, <a href="https://taskandpurpose.com/news/defense-secretary-austin-matt-gaetz-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Pentagon had previously denied the military promotes critical race theory</a>. In a congressional hearing, Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, stated, “we do not teach critical race theory&#8230;we don’t embrace critical race theory and I think that’s a spurious conversation.”
As noted by the Washington Free Beacon, <a href="https://freebeacon.com/national-security/navy-reading-list-includes-anti-racism-book-for-sailors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the military has begun subscribing critical race theorists to enlistees</a>, including Boston University’s Ibram X Kendi’s book, “How to be an Anti-Racist.” A battalion commander reportedly said to his troops, “i<a href="https://humanevents.com/2021/06/09/behind-the-beret-battalion-commander-reportedly-tells-troops-white-people-are-part-of-the-problem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">f you’re a white male, you are part of the problem.</a>”

Barry Mehler is a professor at <a href="https://www.ferris.edu/?pk_vid=1b76d13b0ef4fef4164365037299c15e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ferris State University</a> in Big Rapids, Michigan. During one of his online classes, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrOzY86YcEM&amp;ab_channel=BarryMehler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Mehler recorded himself cursing at the university administration and castigating his students as “vectors of disease.”</a>
The class itself was uploaded by Barry Mehler to his personal Youtube account. When the video begins, Dr. Mehler is seen wearing a face shield and face mask while recording in an empty room.
Dr. Mehler begins his lecture by warning that the air we breathe is dangerous, claiming that this is why “experts” continue to advise wearing masks at all times. Continuing, he states that our civilization is collapsing and that our species is going extinct.
After welcoming students to the class, Dr. Mehler launches into a profanity-laced polemic describing how he is “beholden to no c*ck-sucker” and no one in the university administration will tell him how to teach his class. He proceeds to describe his students as “vectors of disease” and states that he “no longer gives a flying f*ck,” as he is retiring at the end of the year.
Dr. Mehler further adds that students have no control over their grades in class—no matter how hard they work—admitting he assigns grades on the first day at random.
Toward the end of the lecture, Dr. Mehler berates his students, again referring to them as diseased. Beginning to yell, Dr. Mehler accuses his class of being “selfish kids” who “don’t give a sh*t” if grandpa lives or dies.” He urges students not to attend class as they risk infecting him and spreading COVID-19.
The full lecture—which has garnered upwards of half-a-million views as of publication—is available to view in full below:
