<a href="https://sph.umd.edu/people/jessica-fish" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jessica Fish</a> is an Assistant Professor of Family Science at the University of Maryland (UMD). According to her faculty profile, Fish is a “human development and family science scholar whose research focuses on the positive development and health of LGBTQ+ people and their families.” 
Fish is also the director of UMD’s Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Health Research Group (SOGI Health). SOGI Health’s <a href="https://sph.umd.edu/research-impact/laboratories-projects-and-programs/sexual-orientation-gender-identity-and-health-sogi-health-research-group" target="_blank" rel="noopener">main page</a> says, “The research group convenes faculty, students, and community partners in an effort to better understand and support the positive development and health of LGBTQ young people.”
In January 2022, Fish <a href="https://www.srcd.org/research/gender-affirming-policies-support-transgender-and-gender-diverse-youths-health">co-authored a report</a> titled “Gender-Affirming Policies Support Transgender and Gender Diverse Youth’s Health.” In the opening paragraph, Fish, et al. stated:
“Transgender and gender diverse youth (i.e., children and adolescents whose gender identity and/or expression differs from their sex assigned at birth) are more likely to experience poor health than their peers whose gender identity aligns with their assigned sex at birth (i.e., cisgender youth) due to stigma and marginalization.”
Fish, et al. goes on to say:
“58% of [transgender youth] also report having been prevented from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity…states and schools can implement policies that protect [transgender youth] from these harmful experiences…Ultimately, [transgender youth] show more positive outcomes in school environments that implement and enforce policies and practices that affirm youth’s gender identity and protect them from discrimination.”
Fish’s <a href="https://twitter.com/DrJessicaNFish" target="_blank" rel="noopener">social media profile</a> and newsfeed are dedicated to LGBTQ ideologies and her work with the UMD Prevention Research Center. The Center’s <a href="https://sph.umd.edu/research-impact/research-centers/university-maryland-prevention-research-center/umd-prc-about-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“About Us” page</a> says, “In collaboration with LGBTQ+ partner organizations, we promote evidence-based training of students and mental health care providers in culturally sensitive and inclusive practices.”

<a href="https://wgss.columbian.gwu.edu/ashwini-tambe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ashwini Tambe</a> is a Professor of History at George Washington University. Her faculty profile says, “Dr. Tambe is a scholar of transnational South Asian history who focuses on the relationship between law, gender, and sexuality. She is also the Editorial Director of <a href="https://www.feministstudies.org/home.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Feminist Studies</a>, the oldest journal of interdisciplinary feminist scholarship in the United States.”

<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Defining-Girlhood-India-Transnational-Maturity-ebook/dp/B081JQQLKX/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XWJWVVP9KFFJ&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.kgw37bJcX_xfYQjs5Tv8kg.CC4PMau89w_XcZ-qvCr4dEVPlZgjVc02HRvroaj47Z4&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=defining+girlhood+in+india&amp;qid=1722029284&amp;sprefix=defining+girlhood+in+india%2Caps%2C119&amp;sr=8-1&amp;asin=B081JQQLKX&amp;revisionId=59439648&amp;format=3&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In her book</a> titled “Defining Girlhood in India: A Transnational History of Sexual Maturity Laws,” Tambe answers the question, “At what age do girls gain the maturity to make sexual choices.” She claimed the book “focuses on legal standards for sexual maturity for girls in India and explores how and why these standards changed over the course of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.” (The age of consensual sex in India is 18.)

In the introduction, she said:
“Strong views dictate the ages at which one can consent to sexual activity, or marry, or transact in sexual services … Sexual age laws are complex matters largely because they are meant to signal social standards for sexual maturity. Age is usually a blunt metric for measuring such maturity … Like legal standards on other sexual practices, such as same-gender marriage and widow remarriage, the age of marriage has come to serve as an index of moral hierarchies among nations.” 
In an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCNIVtu_hv0&amp;t=147s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview with CGTN America</a>, Tambe discussed “rape culture” and levels of sexual violence among men. At one point, she appeared to suggest that women may play a role in these assaults, stating:
“I think the problem is also not one that is exclusive to men. Actually, I think people in general — women, mothers, mothers-in-law — do enforce certain ideas about what it means to be honorable, what it means to be respectable, notions of how to conduct oneself in public that are actually a part of the problem. So, I would also argue that we shouldn’t just be pointing fingers at men.”

Tambe et al. said:
“We put the finishing touches on this book during a moment of remarkable civil protests against anti-[b]lack violence. The unprecedented scale of multiracial public demonstrations across large cities and rural areas in the United States revealed a swell in support for dismantling systemic racism … These protests also took place amid the raging COVID-19 pandemic, an experience that has underscored a sense of connectedness across hierarchies of geopolitics.”

<a href="http://www.medschool.umaryland.edu/profiles/Younus-Faheem/">Dr. Faheem Younus</a> is a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Maryland. Dr. Younus became infamous for his comments on social media regarding the Charleston shooting. He blamed the shooting on former sniper Chris Kyle as well as Fox News, for creating a 'culture' that encourages mass shooting.

<a href="https://merrill.umd.edu/directory/deneen-brown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeNeen Brown</a> is an Associate Professor of Journalism at the University of Maryland who has vowed to leave America over systemic racism and oppression.

In a Washington Post op-ed—titled, “<a href="https://archive.ph/Kxlhi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Case for Leaving America to Escape Racism</a>”—Dr. Brown reveals that she grew up in the black power movement as she “never really felt at home in America." She then recounts an alleged racial incident in elementary school in which she describes her white classmates as “oppressors” and vows never to internalize their racism.

This would later inspire her work as a journalist to document racism and Black people whom she claims still suffer under “economic, political, and cultural oppression.” This is reflected in another article in which Dr. Brown alleges that <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/08/08/modern-day-mississippi-lynchings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racially-motivated lynchings are a regular occurrence, but provides no evidence to verify her claims</a>.

Dr. Brown explains she began looking for a new place to live abroad after state legislators across the county banned teaching critical race theory in schools. Further citing her concern over the eruption of “racist terror” embodied by January 6th “insurrectionists,” Dr. Brown expresses a desire to live in a country without “entrenched racism” where she has the freedom “to move among people who look like me.”

Dr. Brown further expresses a desire to live in a place where she will not have to discuss her nation’s racism. In a previous Washington Post op-ed, she lamented how<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/06/17/black-people-are-tired-trying-explain-racism/?itid=ap_deneenl.brown" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> black people at large are “exhausted” over explaining racism to white people</a>. In separate tweets, she further explains the burden of racism must be placed at the feet of white society and urges others to study radicals like Che Guevara to learn how to do so.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Racism should not be the BURDEN of Black people to always explain. That burden should be placed on society, institutions and individuals who promote racism. Our history is full of Black leaders who’ve been trying to explain it since our ancestors landed on these shores in 1619. <a href="https://t.co/CdTdTioRU0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/CdTdTioRU0</a>

The Marxist revolutionary is known for installing the <a href="https://www.humanprogress.org/the-truth-about-che-guevara-racist-homophobe-and-mass-murderer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">60-year dictatorship in Cuba</a> and for his bigoted statements, such as: “<a href="https://www.heritage.org/political-process/commentary/el-che-the-crass-marketing-sadistic-racist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The negro is indolent and lazy, and spends his money on frivolities, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized and intelligent.</a>"

Comparing her fight against racism to “punching a brick wall,” she concludes that it’s far easier to leave the country entirely, as she can no longer stand being a black person walking through “white institutions.”

<a href="https://sllc.umd.edu/directory/tatiana-chi-miranda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tatiana Chi-Miranda</a> is a Ph.D. Student and Spanish teacher at the University of Maryland, College Park. 

During an interview with <a href="https://dbknews.com/2022/11/21/umd-spanish-professors-add-anti-racism-curriculum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Diamondback</a>, Chi-Miranda explained how she incorporates anti-racism into her curriculum. Although her Spanish language classes focus on grammar and composition, she admitted the modules are used to discuss racism and phobias:  

“[This] is a great introduction for the anti-racism module because it allows one to establish a personal connection to the text, but also it allows them to get a critical approach to it. And it opens doors for them to have a critical attitude and cultural approach to it,” 

Chi-Miranda provided one module to The Diamondback in which her students pretend to dislike diversity. She said this was an example of xenophobia  and recited the following line:  

“I don’t want you to make friends with other cultures nor do I want you to enjoy the diversity of the world.” 

A sophomore who was interviewed by Diamondback  praised the initiative, stating that American schools have a “whitewashed curriculum:” 

“I think that’s really important because America has a tendency to leave out certain parts of history in their textbooks and teach a very whitewashed curriculum, so it is really important that Maryland and these professors are acknowledging that we have kind of neglected several important parts of history.”

Chi-Miranda’s comments were delivered in an article featuring six Spanish professors who also integrated anti-racist themes into their courses. One professor, Jose Magro, stated this is part of an attempt to put an end to the “colonized learning” that takes place at the university.

In a substack article titled, “<a href="https://weaponizedspaces.substack.com/p/violent-extremism-in-america-is-a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Violent extremism in America is a far-right phenomenon</a>,” she writes that attacks by right-wing groups are “surging” and outpace left-wing and Islamist violence. Orr further claims that any who suggest otherwise are attempting to distract from the burgeoning connections between extremists and mainstream conservative groups:  

“Violent extremism is overwhelmingly a problem of far-right extremism, not far-left extremism, and it doesn’t help anyone to misrepresent the threat by turning it into a “both sides” issue when the sides are not even close to equal.”

Elsewhere, not only does Orr dismiss the existence of left-wing violence, she attempts to excuse it. In a separate article, titled “<a href="https://medium.com/arc-digital/in-defense-of-antifa-62c699d86dc5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In Defense of Antifa</a>,” she condemns conservatives for attempting to “vilify” the group:

“It’s easy to see why far-right extremists have worked so hard to vilify antifascists, who represent the most consistent opponents of far-right extremism and the most steadfast allies of those targeted by far-right violence.”

At first, Orr denies the existence of Antifa in her article, describing the group only as a “collection of tactics and philosophies.” She then pivots and praises Antifa for their “quieter activities” such as “research, monitoring, and surveillance of far-right extremist groups, community organizing, and advocating for historically marginalized populations.” Orr claims this is needed to stop “white supremacist” groups from organizing. 

Writing that activists must be intolerant of violent or bigoted speech, Orr claims that direct action is necessary to prevent the far-right from organizing. Comparing Antifa to Jews who resisted Nazi occupation, Orr argues that when violence from Antifa occurs, it's committed in the name of “self-defense:” 

“...consider the possibility that some violence is a regrettable but unavoidable part of preventing much greater violence by fascists.”

The Professor Watchlist team reached out to Orr for comment prior to publication. Instead of responding, Orr posted the inquiry on her personal Twitter account and accused the author of committing libel.

Her expertise and interests include “Psychosocial Oncology,” “Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA)” and “Health Equity.”

On March 15, 2023, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/professor-arguing-cancer-research-not-antiracist-comment-enough-christabel-cheung" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News featured</a> Cheung in an article titled “Professor argues cancer research not antiracist enough, offers antiracist approaches to patient engagement.” Fox reported, “Cheung’s presentation, ‘Antiracist Patient Engagement in Adolescent &amp; Young Adult Oncology Research and Advocacy,’ cited much of <a href="https://www.ibramxkendi.com/bio">Ibram X. Kendi</a>, the architect of antiracist ideology.”

Fox also said, “Cheung based her definition of antiracism through the lens of Kendi’s work, maintaining the notion that ‘there is no such thing as not being racist…the heartbeat of racism domestically in the United States has been a denial of racism, and the sound of that heartbeat has been the argument, ‘I’m not a racist.’”

<a href="https://youtu.be/AHknFfJHcMQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During the presentation</a>, Cheung further stated: 

“[Kendi] wants us [and] encourages us to take on the perspective that we’re either being antiracist—where we’re promoting equality—or we’re being racist in the sense of working within systems. [You’re] either being complicit or actually supporting racist approaches.” 

In November 2022, <a href="https://ascopost.com/issues/november-10-2022/how-to-advance-antiracist-approaches-to-patient-engagement-in-aya-oncology-and-research/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The ASCO Post</a> featured Cheung in a publication where she also discussed the advancement of antiracist patient engagement with AYA. 

ASCO Post said Cheung “challenges researchers to make progress in engaging [BIPOC] AYAs in clinical studies to close the gaps in knowledge about racial and ethnic minority AYA patients and reduce disparities in their cancer outcomes.”

In response to ASCO’s question “how prevalent is racism in AYA clinical care and research [and] how is it manifested in this patient population?” Cheung said:

“The impact of systemic racism in medicine does not appear to manifest differently by age and starts from the design of the clinical trial. Implicit bias and systemic racism are woven into the fabric of the society we live in. Consequently, we all have some measure of implicit bias or unconscious prejudice that we bring to our work and must make extra efforts to address.”

She further declared,

“Antiracist policies call upon AYA oncology to depersonalize reactions to racism, acknowledge mistakes, and take corrective actions in a timely manner. We can dismantle and reorganize long-established systems in the development and testing of clinical trials, so racism does not continue to persist within these systems.”

<a href="https://socy.umd.edu/facultyprofile/ray/rashawn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rashawn Ray</a> is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Maryland (UMD). Ray’s faculty profile says he “leads [UMD]’s Social Justice Alliance in collaboration with Bowie State University as well as the Anti-Black Racism Initiative housed in the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences.”

In May 2020, Ray co-authored a <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/care-act-caste-act-jesse-jackson-rainbow-coalition-1502605" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Newsweek op-ed</a> titled “The CARES Act Risks Becoming a Caste Act. Here’s How We Change That” to highlight an alleged disproportionate amount of black Americans affected by the pandemic. Ray et al. wrote:
“Black people are over three times more likely to die from COVID-19 than other racial groups…While everyone in America is facing hardships, these hardships collide on the bodies of black Americans in ways that are more substantial and longer lasting.’’
Ray et al. concluded by stating:
“To date, the United States has spent over $3 trillion on COVID-19 relief. Similar to the end of the Civil War and The Great Depression, the most oppressed and vulnerable Americans—black Americans—are being cast to the side and used as guinea pigs.”
In October 2023, Ray was featured in <a href="https://pittnews.com/article/183483/news/rashawn-ray-discusses-policing-implicit-bias-at-africana-studies-event/#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Pitt News</a> after participating in a webinar titled “Rotten Trees: Racism and Bad Apples in American Policing.” Ray was quoted saying, “‘Implicit bias is deeply embedded in organizational culture and leads to structurally imposed racial disparities.”

The Pitt goes on to emphasize Ray’s claims that “studies and statistics demonstrate how policing disproportionately affects black people” and that “approximately 70,000 of all people stopped by police in 2011 were black, 56% of these stops involved frisks and only about 2% of stops led to the discovery of contraband…” Ray further claimed, “These statistics are about ‘blackness’ not compliance.”

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtkmREGvtiM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a similar webinar discussion</a>, Ray used the following graph as an example of how police officers have racially profiled black Americans for the last two decades:

In light of Ray’s beliefs and rhetoric, the U.S. Department of Justice released a <a href="https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/cbpp18st.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revised 2018 report</a> highlighting the following statistics:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“About 61.5 million residents had at least one contact with police.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Whites (26%) were more likely than blacks (21%), Hispanics (19%), or persons of other races (20%) to experience police contact.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“There was no statistically significant difference in the percentage of whites (12%) and blacks (11%) who experienced police-initiated contact.”</li>

<a href="https://history.umd.edu/directory/david-freund" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Freund</a> is an Associate Professor of History and an Affiliate Associate Professor of American Studies at the University of Maryland (UMD). 

Freund has authored several publications including “Colored Property: State Policy &amp; White Racial Politics in Suburban America”—<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Colored-Property-Politics-Suburban-Historical/dp/0226262766/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1ZCGIPIR168HC&amp;keywords=colored+property+david+freund&amp;qid=1699309383&amp;sprefix=colored+property+david+freund%2Caps%2C119&amp;sr=8-1&amp;asin=0226262766&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a book that examines</a> the racialization of housing developments and property rights. In the chapter titled The New Politics of Race and Property, he wrote:
“There is, nonetheless, considerable disagreement about the role that race per se played in fueling white vigilance. Many argue that while black people were clearly the targets of exclusionary practices, racism played little or no part in whites’ decision-making…
“The disagreement about postwar whites’ motivations is rooted, I argue here, in a conceptual assumption that informs most studies of racial conflict in the modern United States. Most commentaries treat white racism as something unchanging and as conceptually separate from other variables that fuel conflict between groups (including racial groups).”
In July 2023, Freund was featured in an <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/race-change-to-another-trend-online-rcna93759" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News article</a> titled “Inside the online world of people who think they can change their race.” The publication discusses a Ukrainian-born American who “goes by the Japanese name Miyuki and listens to 'subliminals' that promise she will wake up and be Japanese.” 

NBC News further stated, “Freund…corroborates the idea that a ‘biological race’ does not exist [and] the modern concept of race is inseparable from the systemic racial hierarchy hundreds of years in the making. Simply put, changing races is not possible because ‘biological races’ themselves are not real.”

Freund also told NBC that “the idea of changing one’s race operates differently depending on a person’s racial background and that white people who seek to ‘transition’ to other races can often sidestep the harms of racism.”

Freund supports awarding reparations to black Americans as a form of government compensation for past offenses. He told <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/usa_race-america_reparations-can-money-absolve-sins-past/6208006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Voices of America</a>, “We can document systems, policies, also private practices that are constantly reproducing racial inequalities…[a]nd no one has been able to convince me otherwise.”

He is ferociously anti-Israel and is actively involved with ANTIFA on campus.

As co-founder of the <a href="https://campusantifascistnetwork.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Antifascist Network</a>, Palumbo-Liu describes the purpose of the network as to "help support, educate and defend faculty, students and staff, and share information on fascist organizing in the U.S., planned fascist activities, and organized antifascist responses."

In an article for the <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/whats-behind-the-explosio_b_8298362" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Huffington Post</a>, he repeated the antisemitic trope that Israel is preparing to demolish Al-Aqsa Mossque and accused Israel of indiscriminately murdering Palestians.

A vocal proponent of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, Liu has <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2015/01/modern-language-assoc-postpones-anti-israel-boycott-vote-until-2017/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advocated</a> for its passage both at Stanford and at the MLA (Modern Language Association).

Dr. Hakeem Jefferson is an <a href="https://profiles.stanford.edu/hakeem-jefferson?tab=bio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">assistant professor of Political Science</a> at Stanford University, as well as a faculty affiliate with Stanford’s Center for Comparative Studies in Race &amp; Ethnicity. He focuses a majority of his research specifically on understanding the political views of Black Americans. Dr. Jefferson also often writes and speaks on white Americans and the threat that conservatives present to the United States.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1554 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-4-3-e1631052904912-1024x474.png" alt="" width="580" height="268" />

On January 8, 2021, Dr. Jefferson <a href="https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/storming-the-u-s-capitol-was-about-maintaining-white-power-in-america/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote an article for FiveThirtyEight</a> accusing white Americans and conservatives of leading the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021, stating that it was because of their inability to accept the election results. He argues that it is not just coincidental that the people who stormed the Capitol were white and many conservatives are white. He further criticizes conservatives by stating that the storming of the Capitol symbolized white Americans’ violent belief that they should have an “unlimited hold” on power in the United States. According to Dr. Jefferson, actions like the storming of the Capitol are “to be expected” from white people whose power or identity is threatened by diversity.

The storming of the U.S. Capitol took place on January 6, 2021. Opposing the certification of election results, things turned tempestuous when some of the protestors decided to break into the Capitol. It has been <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/exclusive-fbi-finds-scant-evidence-us-capitol-attack-was-coordinated-sources-2021-08-20/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">determined that these events were not planned</a> in advance or coordinated.

Dr. Jefferson <a href="https://twitter.com/hakeemjefferson/status/1323987468757073921" target="_blank" rel="noopener">frequently takes to Twitter</a> to discuss his political views. This was no different for the 2020 elections. In the tweet below, Dr. Jefferson points at conservatives for fear-mongering during the 2020 presidential election.

https://twitter.com/hakeemjefferson/status/1323479574114574336

Dr. Jefferson repeatedly discusses the threat of white conservatives to America. He maintains that conservatives are a “dangerous mob of grievous white people” who are worried that their power is being threatened by minorities and diversity in politics. Not only does he take this stance on social media, but he teaches these ideas in his classroom as well. Below is a clip from one of his lectures at Stanford:

&nbsp;

In a publication titled, <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/rh33nhu5m55e01k/Curious%20Case%20of%20Black%20Conservatives_Short.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Curious Case of Black Conservatives”</a>, Dr. Jefferson details why he believes some black Americans identify as conservative. In his research, he claims that black Americans only identify as conservative because they don’t understand the meaning of the words “liberal” or “conservative.” In turn, black Americans who self-identify as “conservative” are wrong and are actually liberal. He states that black Americans’ results from the 7-point liberal-conservative scale cannot be trusted because they are not cognizant of the true meanings of the words.

The <a href="http://www-personal.umich.edu/~wmebane/fall01/gov317/nes48_98/node335.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">7-point liberal-conservative scale</a> asks, on a scale of 1 (extremely liberal) to 7 (extremely conservative), where people believe they fall. This scale is just one of a multitude of different ways a person’s political ideology can be determined or measured.

In the two years since graduating from the University of Michigan with his Ph.D. in Political Science, Dr. Jefferson has made many assertions about not only white, conservative Americans, but also black Americans. His research, teachings, and social media all indicate that he believes white conservatives are a “<a href="https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/storming-the-u-s-capitol-was-about-maintaining-white-power-in-america/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dangerous mob of grievous white people</a>,”  while black Americans don’t have the capacity or understanding to know the difference between being liberal and being conservative.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Jefferson for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

<a href="https://profiles.stanford.edu/maxe-crandall" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maxe Crandall</a> is the “Associate Director of the Program in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Stanford University,” according to her university profile. 

The <a href="https://explorecourses.stanford.edu/search?view=catalog&amp;filter-coursestatus-Active=on&amp;q=COLLEGE%20103:%20Globally%20Queer&amp;academicYear=20222023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">description for Crandall’s course, “Globally Queer,”</a> states: 
“After all, are LGBTQ+ identities and rights one size-fits-all? Do they become a way for Western nations to once again set the standards by which others are judged developmentally deficient? In certain societies reference to a 'traditional' national way of thinking about gender and sexuality is simply a fig leaf for homophobia and transphobia.”
Crandall considers herself a poet and playwright. She has published nine print works and several articles. Among her works is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Nancy-Reagan-Collection-Maxe-Crandall/dp/1733038418" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Nancy Reagan Collection”</a> (1920), which, according to the description on Amazon, “is a response to growing up queer and trans under the rise of HIV-AIDS [during the Reagan era, the greatest era in American history]. Crossing genres and generations, this performance novel remixes the AIDS archive through an ever-spiraling politics and aesthetics of mourning.” 

The description further states, “Alternating chapters offer up a narrative throughline composed of hallucinogenic episodes from the perspective of a nameless, grieving protagonist in the midst of the global carnage of the Reagan dynasty. Part revenge, part fantasy, the book experiments with poetic practices that challenge conceptions of memory and morality, activism and escapism, grief and beauty.” On one page in “The Nancy Reagan Collection,” Crandall talks about Reagan’s “groping styles,” and a particular style of blouse she wears (see image below):

In line with the content of her book, on Twitter Crandall tweeted that, during the AIDS Epidemic, First Lady Nancy Reagan abandoned the gay community which had been most afflicted by the disease. She tweeted the following (which has since been deleted upon the publication of this profile on November 2, 2022):
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
"My book opens w/ a revenge poem called “Red Ribbon,” a dressing down of Nancy in this exact portrait.

In a poem called “Hands on Deck”, Crandall says the following:

“I bend hard sex toward you
as if

He also told The Stanford Daily, “We’re trying to understand what are all the different ways in which you can think about Islamophobia and how Islamophobia actually manifests, whether it’s explicit, like hate crimes and verbal abuse, or more systemic things like the Muslim ban that Trump tried to pass.”

The <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/10/13/stanford-teacher-suspended-for-singling-out-jewish-students/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> reports the following about Loggins’ actions in class in light of the Hamas terror attacks on Israel in October 2023: 
“The lecturer… reportedly justified the slaughter of more than 1,300 Israelis by Hamas terrorists over the weekend, saying it was part of Palestinians’ resistance.”
“The teacher then asked Jewish students to raise their hands, separated them from their belongings and ordered them to stand in a corner, saying that is what Jews were doing to Palestinians, according to Nourya Cohen, one of the Israeli association presidents.”  
Loggins also asked his class, “how many Jews died in the Holocaust?” After a student responded “6 million,” Loggins replied, “Yes. Only 6 million.”

The university addressed Loggins’ status, in “<a href="https://news.stanford.edu/report/2023/10/11/update-stanford-community/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">An Update for the Stanford Community</a>,”:
“We have received a report of a class in which a non-faculty instructor is reported to have addressed the Middle East conflict in a manner that called out individual students in class based on their backgrounds and identities. Without prejudging the matter, this report is a cause for serious concern. Academic freedom does not permit the identity-based targeting of students.

“The University is aware that Ethan Deneault … was taken into custody by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. Deneault has been placed on administrative leave pending additional information about his arrest. As such he is not teaching for the spring term and is not present on campus.” 
Deneault is set to appear before a Florida judge on April 16, 2024. He could potentially be released from Hillsborough County custody if the judge fails to sign the fugitive warrant.

<a href="https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/university-tampa-professor-charged-with-possessing-child-sex-abuse-materials-georgia/TDIFHKNILVHCBE776ACB6U7AZI/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to WSB-TV 2</a>, Deneault was arrested on campus and charged with “three counts of sexual exploitation of children [and] for possessing child sexual abuse material.” If convicted, Deneault could receive the maximum penalty of death. 

An investigation into Deneault started in May 2023 after an anonymous tip was received by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. WSB-TV 2 said, “A forensic search of electronic devices showed Deneault had been in Butts County, Georgia, in January 2023 when the offenses occurred.” The source published a statement from an unnamed university spokesperson:
“The University is aware that Ethan Deneault … was taken into custody by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. Deneault has been placed on administrative leave pending additional information about his arrest. As such he is not teaching for the spring term and is not present on campus.” 
Deneault is set to appear before a Florida judge on April 16, 2024. He could potentially be released from Hillsborough County custody if the judge fails to sign the fugitive warrant.

<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230804180348/https://english.ua.edu/people/james-a-crank/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Andrew Crank</a> is an Associate Professor of English and American literature at the University of Alabama. Crank’s faculty profile states that he was a co-host of the podcast “<a href="https://www.soundandthefuriouspod.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Sound and the Furious</a>” which covered topics such as racism in America, “environmental justice,” social justice and the removal of Confederate monuments from public spaces. 

Crank has authored multiple publications and edited the book “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Approaches-Gone-Southern-Literary-Studies/dp/0807161586?asin=B07W99BXR7&amp;revisionId=db568cd4&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Approaches to Gone with the Wind</a>.” The publisher—who stated that “Racial and sexual identity form a cornerstone for the collection…”—gave examples of how the authors “[reframe] traditional racial identities” and “[explore] transgressive sexuality in the film version.” In the introduction, Crank wrote that “it was time for a collection that would attempt to breathe fresh air into a novel and film that had quickly become a problem in the American academy.” 

In his book “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dirty-South-Exploring-Fantasized-1970-2020/dp/0807180130/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1701368549&amp;refinements=p_27%3AJames+A.+Crank&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-1&amp;asin=B0C1QDKS74&amp;revisionId=9a9d295a&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Dirty South: Exploring a Fantasized Region 1970-2020</a>,” Crank discussed what he called “cultural trash…in relation to the American South.” He stated:
“After <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/florida-teen-trayvon-martin-is-shot-and-killed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the murder of Trayvon Martin</a>, I realized my project needed to juxtapose southern investments in class and whiteness with the margins they create. As I explored the shadows of those margins and came to terms with my place in southern studies, one word came back to me over and over: dirty…
“That was in George Zimmerman’s mind when he trailed the young boy through his neighborhood. His perspective of [Martin] wasn’t unique; it was endemic to a white history of white thought on blackness. Dirty.”
On November 28, 2023, <a href="https://www.al.com/news/2023/11/university-of-alabama-associate-professor-jailed-on-child-porn-charges.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alabama Local News</a> reported Crank’s arrest after child rape materials were found in his home:
“[Crank], 45, is charged with two counts of possession of obscene material containing visual depictions of persons under the age of 17 involved in obscene acts. University officials released this statement: ‘The accused individual was immediately removed from campus and all facilities. We will continue to support law enforcement’s investigations.’”
Alabama Local News continued:
“The arrest was made by the West Alabama Human Trafficking Task Force…Authorities said the warrants against Crank were the result of an ongoing investigation. Devices seized during the [home] search could lead to additional charges…Crank is being held in the Tuscaloosa County Jail. Bond will be later set by a judge.”
While Crank’s faculty profile page is <a href="https://english.ua.edu/people/james-a-crank/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no longer available</a>, the university has not released a statement detailing his employment status.

Yale University

<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. 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.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1633" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-05-at-2.54.00-PM.png" alt="" width="528" height="166" />

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.

https://twitter.com/yale/status/1292782749611429888?lang=en

Dr. HoSang has also recently become involved in K-12 learning. He was one of the founders of an organization in Connecticut called the <a href="https://antiracistteaching.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racist Teaching and Learning Collective</a>, or ARTLC. The organization works with students and teachers alike to push anti-racism, and in turn, Critical Race Theory, in K-12 schools across Connecticut. 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.”

https://twitter.com/AAPolicyForum/status/1415803068617220096

Dr. HoSang also leads workshops for K-12 teachers that perpetuate the ideals that racism runs deep in education and teaching across all subjects. He helps teachers create curriculum centered on anti-racism and Critical Race Theory.  In the summers of 2020 and 2021, Dr. HoSang was a core faculty member of the AAPF’s Critical Race Theory Summer School lecture series for teachers and scholars. The program’s purpose is to counter conservative and republican efforts to keep Critical Race Theory out of the classroom.

According to the DailyMail, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11418747/Yale-sophomore-student-20-reveals-hid-attempted-suicide-college-raped.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paul Hoffman is the psychologist</a> in charge of student mental health at Yale University. Hoffman is at the center of a story involving Yale’s policies that ban suicidal students from campus. 

DailyMail said, “To return to class, [students] must reapply - writing an essay, and sending in letters of recommendation…Those who left for mental health reasons also had to demonstrate to Yale that they’d addressed their problems.”

Hoffman’s <a href="https://medicine.yale.edu/profile/paul-hoffman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">university profile</a> says he’s Chief of Mental Health and Counseling, Voluntary Faculty for Departments and Organizations, and the <a href="https://yalehealth.yale.edu/directory/clinicians/paul-hoffman-phd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Director of Mental Health</a> and Counseling for Yale. No further information is available regarding Hoffman’s employment.

After a student attempted suicide, Hoffman attended an unpublicized Zoom call between the student, her parents, and Yale representatives. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/11/11/yale-suicides-mental-health-withdrawals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post reported</a>, “In an interview, Hoffman and other Yale officials declined to discuss Yale’s withdrawal policies or specific student cases.”

Washington Post continued, “As soon as the Zoom call with Hoffman ended, hospital staffers handed [the student her cellphone]. She began typing out the email Hoffman had asked her to send.” The email eventually played a role in the student’s expulsion. 

Yale’s <a href="https://yalecollege.yale.edu/policies-procedures/leave-absence-withdrawal-and-reinstatement#:~:text=Any%20student%20may%20voluntarily%20withdraw,activities%2C%20or%20use%20University%20facilities." target="_blank" rel="noopener">mandatory medical withdrawal and reinstatement</a> policy says, 

"Any student may voluntarily withdraw; Yale College also reserves the right to require students to withdraw in certain cases. Students on withdrawal may not stay in residencies on campus, attend classes, participate in extracurricular activities, or use University facilities. They may come to campus only upon receiving prior permission from their residential college dean or the Dean of Student Affairs.”

<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11418747/Yale-sophomore-student-20-reveals-hid-attempted-suicide-college-raped.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to DailyMail</a>, Hoffman said mandatory medical withdrawals are “very rarely used.” The source also said, “Hoffman said the majority of students are now able to keep therapy appointments within two weeks, and Yale is planning on increasing its mental health resources.”

In a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/yale-professor-blasted-program-working-3-year-olds-gender-journey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">now-deleted video</a>, Olezeski states, “the Yale gender program, is an interdisciplinary program working with gender-expansive individuals 3-25.” Continuing, she says the program “helps individuals who are questioning their gender identity as transgender or non-binary” and vows to help children on “their gender journey.”

The <a href="https://www.yalemedicine.org/departments/pediatric-gender-program" target="_blank" rel="noopener">program’s website</a> claims that surgeries are only preformed on individuals over the age of 18. The website further alleges, “Social transition is the only medically accepted form of gender-affirming care–and the only form of care we provide–for that age group.” 

Continuing it states, “Some youth are exploring their identity. Others know that how they feel inside does not match up with the gender they were assigned at birth. We help sort through these questions.” 

Yale has since deleted the YouTube video in which Olezeski discusses the gender program. She has also made her personal social media pages private.

<a href="https://wgss.yale.edu/people/kalindi-vora" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kalindi Vora</a> is a Professor of Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies as well as Ethnicity, Race, and Migration at Yale University. Vora’s <a href="https://americanstudies.yale.edu/people/kalindi-vora" target="_blank" rel="noopener">areas of research</a> include:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Feminist Science and Technology Studies”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Postcolonial Studies”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Critical Race &amp; Ethnic Studies/American Studies”</li>
</ul>
The description for Vora’s course “<a href="https://www.kalindivora.com/teaching" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Feminist Futures</a>” states,
“To understand speculation as a political practice, this course brings together critical texts from materialist theory, feminist science studies, queer kinship and affect studies (including queer of color critique), women of color feminism and transnational ethnic studies…”
Vora’s “Marxist Thought” class “examines critical engagements between scholarship from postcolonial, feminist and other radical Marxist traditions” while focusing on “philosophical and political debates stemming from issues of race and gender…”

Vora <a href="https://www.kalindivora.com/media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared</a> on The Harmony Show podcast alongside a co-host who identified as a “robosexual/idolator” to discuss Vora’s book “Surrogate Humanity: Race Robots and the Politics of Technological Futures.” She described the concept of the book:
“[T]he whole book is trying to explain how we think that this is a new kind of antiracist and feminist analytic that we can use to think through the way that racial and gender politics come up around labor in technology…
“And we start the book by thinking alongside the historian and black feminist, Saidiya Hartman, who wrote a book called ‘Scenes of Subjection.’ In that book, Hartman talks about the concept of the surrogate…in the context of US chattel slavery.”

In 2017, the University of California, Davis <a href="https://research.ucdavis.edu/fri_director/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> Vora as the Director of its Feminist Research Institute (FRI). The institute exists as a “collaborative, trans-disciplinary hub for exploring how gender, sexuality, race, and other social structures inform the design, execution, and interpretation of research.”

<a href="https://ysph.yale.edu/profile/megan-ranney/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megan Ranney</a> is the Dean of Yale University’s School of Public Health. Her research focuses on “developing, testing, and disseminating digital health interventions to prevent violence and related behavioral health problems, as well as on COVID-related risk reduction.” Ranney previously served as the Warren Alpert Endowed Professor of Emergency Medicine at Brown University.

In an <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/17/opinions/public-trust-in-scientists-ranney-jetelina/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion editorial for CNN</a>, Ranney addressed the decline in trust of physicians due to the over-administering of COVID-19 vaccines. Ranney writes:
“[Physicians are] worried about what lies ahead if we don’t turn the ship on trust in science. Imagine if there’s another pandemic, a climate disaster or a biosecurity hazard like anthrax—and we haven’t fixed the trust problem. Think about what might happen if we, as a country, stop funding the science innovation that has allowed our dramatic gains in human health. And what if more Americans refuse to get their kids vaccinated or if our public health institutions are shut down?”
On November 29, 2023, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gun-crime-expert-blasts-red-state-cherry-picking-by-yale-professor-in-senate-hearing-political-bias" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News featured Ranney</a> in an article titled “Gun crime expert blasts red state ‘cherry-picking’ by Yale professor in Senate hearing: ‘Political bias.’” While testifying before Congress about gun violence, Ranney was suspected of naming certain states based on her political ideology.

When asked why she thought “Chicago has become America’s largest outdoor shooting range?”, Fox said, “Ranney responded by comparing Chicago to three [conservative-led] states and claiming Mississippi, Louisiana and Missouri ‘actually have higher firearm death rates.’”

When further pressed about Chicago’s crime statistics, Ranney stated:
“I think there’s easy access to firearms combined with environmental conditions, lack of great education. There have actually been studies that when you green vacant lots and repair abandoned buildings in urban neighborhoods you see decreases in gunshots and violence as well as stress and depression in the neighborhoods around them.”
<a href="https://president.yale.edu/president/yale-talk/approaching-gun-violence-public-health-issue" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During her talk</a> with Yale University President Peter Salovey, Ranney <a href="https://president.yale.edu/sites/default/files/yaletalkepisode39-ranney-transcript.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded to the question</a> of funding for firearm death research:
“The biggest reason is that from 1996-2020, there was virtually no federal funding…partly because it wasn’t defined as a public health problem, but partly because in 1996 [a representative] from Arkansas…passed the Dickey Amendment, which told the CDC that it was prohibited from using funds to promote or advocate for gun control.”

<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Chair of African American Studies</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Carl I. Holland Professor of African Studies</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Professor of Psychology</li>
</ul>
Solomon’s faculty profile says, “He quickly became a national leader in the science of racial bias by pioneering scientific experiments that exposed how our minds learn to associate [b]lackness and crime implicitly — often with deadly consequences.”

Solomon also co-founded the <a href="https://policingequity.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Policing Equity</a>. According to the “What We Do” page, the organization claims to “promote justice” by:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Reducing harm within existing law enforcement systems, pursuing strategies that address the racist behaviors, policies, and practices of law enforcement.” </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Redesigning and implementing new models that safeguard and empower communities to enhance and maintain collective public safety.”</li>
</ul>
In 2019, Solomon <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/dr_phillip_atiba_solomon_how_we_can_make_racism_a_solvable_problem_and_improve_policing/footnotes?referrer=playlist-talks_to_help_you_understand_r&amp;delay=2m&amp;subtitle=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presented a TEDx Talk</a> titled “How we can make racism a solvable problem — and improve policing.” In his introduction, he said:
“Police chiefs like talking to me because I’m an expert on a problem that feels impossible for them to solve: racism in their profession. Now my expertise comes from being a scientist, who studies how our minds learn to associate blackness and crime and misperceive black children as older than they actually are.”

Although the statistics show that “a higher percentage of blacks (4%) and Hispanics (3%) than whites (2%) experience threats or use of force,” a <a href="https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/topic-pages/tables/table-43" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2019 FBI report</a> reveals black people commit higher rates of murder/manslaughter and robbery.

It’s the key to revitalizing democracy.” He opened by asking, “Are you an abolitionist?” and lists flashpoints of history where the term was used to fight slavery (e.g. Emancipation Proclamation, Abraham Lincoln). He proceeded to write:

“Abolition, however, is not a relic of history. It is an ongoing movement to rethink the systems that produce inequity and build a society that values the lives of the most vulnerable. It permeates almost every issue that the World Economic Forum includes on its <a href="https://www.weforum.org/events/the-davos-agenda-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021 Agenda</a>, from COVID-19 to tax policy.”

He further encouraged readers to take on a mindset of “abolition democracy,” the term coined by radical activist and NAACP co-founder, <a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/society/web-du-bois-black-reconstruction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">W.E.B. Du Bois</a>. Solomon <a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/01/abolition-isn-t-a-relic-of-our-past-it-s-the-key-to-revitalising-democracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>:
“In my own work as the CEO and Co-Founder of the Center for Policing Equity, that means fundamentally reimagining public safety … It means measuring justice along with crime, and aligning our mechanisms of public safety with the values of the communities — particularly communities that have historically faced discrimination and disinvestment.”
“Charity alone, kindness from those who have benefitted most from institutions that marginalize the vulnerable, cannot lead us to justice. Abolition democracy, the working of rebuilding our systems with equity at their core, just might be able to.”

She focuses on American gun politics, immigration policy, race and ethnic politics, public opinion, and political psychology.
Professor Filindra has been outspoken about her beliefs that gun ownership and racism are related.
She co-authored a study titled <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11109-015-9326-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Racial Resentment and Whites’ Gun Policy Preferences in Contemporary America.”</a> The study states that “the language of individual freedom used by the gun rights movement utilizes the same racially meaningful tropes as the rhetoric of the white resistance to black civil rights that developed after WWII and into the 1970s.” Filindra claims the study’s results show “racial resentment is a statistically significant and substantively important predictor of white opposition to gun control.”

“We cannot ignore that a non-negligible minority of Americans believes that gun rights extend to the context of political protests, that people should have the authority to shoot at protesters based on their personal judgments of danger, and that a substantial number of gun owners would bring their firearms to a political event.”
She continued:
“The free exchange of political ideas, a citizen’s right to assemble and to petition government is inconsistent with the public carry of firearms. Weapons do not foster political exchange; they are designed to hamper it.”

<a href="https://hist.uic.edu/profiles/mccloskey-deirdre/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deirdre McCloskey</a> is a Distinguished Professor of History, Economics, English, and Communication at the University of Illinois Chicago. McCloskey is the author of 15 books and is a trans woman who says he has been “socially performing” as a woman for 27 years.

Professor McCloskey was scheduled to <a href="https://pittnews.com/article/180576/news/status-of-transgenderism-and-womanhood-debate-at-pitt-uncertain-after-participant-drops-out/#photo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debate the topic of “Transgenderism and Womanhood”</a> with Michael Knowles at an event hosted by the University of Pittsburgh’s College Republicans and the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. Leading up to the event, a petition was circulated around campus calling for the event to be canceled. On March 11, in response to this, McCloskey tweeted:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
A thousand people have signed a petition against Michael Knowles 'debating" me on transgender matters on April 18 at Pittsburgh. They should be ashamed. True, Knowles is an anti-Jesus Catholic, a fascist advocating state power over ideas. But we live in a free country.

“That people recommend it’s a good idea to stop open conversation in a university because someone says something they don’t agree with is counter to the purposes, the noble purposes, of the University of Pittsburgh. It’s a complete undermining of the ideals of Western civilization.” 
McCloskey also claimed:
“Opposing him speaking is exactly what he wants because then the cruel conservatives, which he’s a good example [of], can say, ‘Ah, you see, those leftists, they don’t believe in free speech.’ That’s the kind of people they are. So you can see how stupid it is to oppose this.”

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I've just learned that Prof. McCloskey has dropped out of our debate scheduled for next week.

McCloskey told <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=21940" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a> the appearance was canceled because Knowles is “utterly uninterested in finding the truth,” adding:
“He is interested in stirring up hatred and violence towards people who do not fit his extremely conservative Catholic beliefs, beliefs quite contrary to those of, for example, Pope Francis. I decided not to participate in giving [Knowles] a platform.”

<a href="https://education.uic.edu/profiles/muhammad-gholnecsar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gholnecsar (Gholdy) Muhammad</a> is an Associate Professor of Literacy, Language, and Culture at the University of Illinois Chicago. According to her university profile, she “studies black historical excellence within educational communities with goals of reframing curriculum and instruction today.” She is the author of the book “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cultivating-Genius-Culturally-Historically-Responsive/dp/1338594893" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cultivating Genius</a>: An Equity Model for Culturally and Historically Responsive Literacy.”

Muhammad <a href="https://www.ace-ed.org/teaching-toward-genius-an-equity-model-for-pedagogy-in-action/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">created the “HILL” model of teaching</a> which “responds to students’ histories, identities, literacies and liberation.” Muhammad describes her education model as:
“The HILL model is an equity framework for teaching and learning across all disciplines. Honoring traditions and theories of culturally responsive learning, this model is historically responsive and grounded in Black education and Black excellence. Members of 19th century African American literary societies had four collective goals toward advancing their education.” 
Muhammad defines these four goals as: Identity, Skills, Intellectualism, and Criticality. For Identity, she writes:
“Because we are complex beings, we have racial, cultural, gender, environmental, and community identities, to name a few. Not only is it important to teach youths who they are, but educators should also teach students about the identities and cultures of others different from them.” 
The description for Criticality reads:
“Criticality is the capacity and ability to read, write, think, and speak in ways to understand power and equity in order to understand and promote anti-oppression. In Cultivating Genius, I define oppression simply as any wrongdoing, hurt, or harm, including racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, or any other oppression. Unlike lower case “c” critical, which is just deep and analytical thinking, Critical with a capital “c” is related to power, equity, and anti-oppression. As learning takes place, one asks, ‘How am I developing an understanding of power, equity, anti-racism and anti-oppression?’” 
In 2018, Muhammad founded <a href="https://hillpedagogies.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HILL Pedagogies LLC</a>. According to its website, the company is a “consultation and presentation agency with a focus on the historical foundations of literacy development and the writing practices among Black communities. The agency offers professional learning that shapes the national conversation for educating youth who have been underserved and works with teachers and young people across the United States and abroad in best practices in culturally responsive instruction.”

<a href="https://defendinged.org/report/gholnecsar-muhammad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Parents Defending Education</a> reports Muhammad received a grant of $749,896 in 2018 from the U.S. Department of Education. The <a href="https://news.gsu.edu/2018/11/26/muhammad-receives-749895-grant-to-support-secondary-school-teachers-stem-literacy-instruction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">grant</a> was intended “to study a professional development model designed to improve secondary school teachers’ literacy instruction in STEM content areas.”

Muhammad received $4,000 from Olentangy Schools for a one-hour presentation and $2,875 from Naperville Community Unit School District 203 for a two-hour virtual workshop. She also participated in a “Black Futures &amp; Black Joy” panel with Castro Valley Unified School District and was named Los Angeles Unified School District’s “Equity Champion in Residence.”

<a href="https://education.uic.edu/profiles/morton-terrell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Terrell Morton</a> is an Assistant Professor of Identity and Justice in STEM Education at the University of Illinois Chicago. According to his university profile, Morton “works to transform STEM learning environments, creating spaces that are recognized and understood as extensions of students' identity rather than sites of oppression that perpetuate hostility and exclusion.”

Morton published an article in <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41557-023-01271-5.epdf?sharing_token=RoV77bDjzlvUTQdh8RUTYNRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0PTC_5KGRwngX4s8AJcmQPKX1Y_ambGQDJcXzrJrKIgVWt2ZpHkTDBnR7ZPe2xAlHOG3jQM9YwzHHi7XTQotfYdTCrcMeOqrrP_5_yBrTJRmhpcB10GDPO9hkg4UnazmIk%3D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nature Chemistry</a> titled, “Critical race theory and its relevance for chemistry.” He begins by stating, “Critical race theory—an academic framework that serves to understand systemic racism in the USA and beyond—can help inform endeavors to advance justice and equity in the chemistry community.”

Morton argues that the field of science underrepresents black people and “favors white, cisgender, middle-to-high socioeconomic status, heterosexual, non-disabled men.”

Professor Morton discusses critical race theory’s (CRT) core tenets and how they apply to the field of chemistry. Morton defines one core tenet, racial realism, as the belief that “racism is endemic, permanent, systemic and integral to all social institutions.” He believes this tenet explains the “continuing numerical underrepresentation of Black people” as “an outcome of structural racism or gendered racism.”

He also argues <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/chicago-professor-dismisses-meritocracy-myth-advocates-crt-false-reality" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meritocracy</a> is a myth, saying, “The belief in individualism and the bootstrap mentality communicated through US laws and social norms is a false reality given racism and its de facto outcomes.”

Morton believes that “structural change” is needed, writing:
“Inequities in the field of chemistry can also be mitigated as the field collectively validates the systemic presence and continuous influence of racism and gendered racism on scientific inquiry and education. Each person should evaluate their position and actions towards social justice - with respect to their identity, privilege, exposure, awareness and commitment.” 
When discussing his article with <a href="https://today.uic.edu/education-professor-probes-causes-of-systemic-racism-in-chemistry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UIC Today</a>, Morton said:
“One of the things that scientists have struggled with understanding is that racism is structural and systemic, not just interpersonal. There are power structures at play that impact our everyday experiences, including the research that is done, how we do the research, who gets access to that research and who we recognize as a chemist.” 
In April 2021, Morton gave a <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/identity-and-justice-scholar-explores-structural-racism-in-chemistry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presentation</a> at Utah State University titled, “<a href="https://www.usu.edu/safe-at-usu/speakers/TMorton_UtahStatePresentation.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deprogramming Whiteness</a> to Advance Liberation: A Critical Examination of the ‘Self’ in Social Justice Endeavors.”

In this 21-slide presentation, Morton says, “The practicing of justice (recognition and action) are driven by individual and societal philosophical ideologies of reality, knowledge, and ethics (morality)...where the underlying conceptions of normality are rooted in a culture of whiteness.” He also advised participants “check your ‘self,’” which he defines as “biases, privileges, position, power, commitments, and actions.”

In December 2023, Naber wrote a <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/when-abolitionists-say-free-them-all-we-mean-palestine-too/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TruthOut opinion editoria</a>l called “When Abolitionists Say ‘Free Them All,’ We Mean Palestine Too.” She compared Israel’s response to the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack to the police response during the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/place/Ferguson#ref1204126" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ferguson riots in 2014</a>. 

In 2021, Naber <a href="https://www.jadaliyya.com/Details/43566" target="_blank" rel="noopener">participated in an interview</a> to discuss her article “The Radical Potential of Mothering during the Egyptian Revolution.” When asked why she wrote <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.15767/feministstudies.47.1.0062" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the publication</a>, Naber replied:

While conducting research and interviews for the paper, Naber said her observations revealed the “exclusion” of mothers from social movements who lack childcare or want to participate in adult-only meetings. Naber’s <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.15767/feministstudies.47.1.0062" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> requires JSTOR credentials, but the following excerpt was included in her interview transcript:
“Asserting the radical potential of mothering allows us to recognize how heteropatriarchal concepts and traditional gender norms can be disrupted and how we might imagine an ever-expansive revolution that is not limited to the boundaries of a public square or to a singular notion of the revolutionary actor.”

Alongside <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/mayamikdashi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professo</a><a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/mayamikdashi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">r</a><a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/mayamikdashi" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Maya </a><a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/mayamikdashi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mikdashi</a>, Naber participated in a <a href="https://youtu.be/P62E9was7G4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rutgers University panel discussion</a> called “Palestine is a Feminist and Queer Anti-Imperialist Abolition Struggle.” During her presentation, Naber gave a trigger warner before stating:
“Indeed the practices of rape and sexual assaults that have been well documented during the founding of Israel, that continue today, are not an exception or a secondary impact of colonial violence. But [they] are part of the settler, colonial, white supremacist logics and practices of Israel, that conflate colonized women with the land and nature and assume that, therefore, to dominate the land necessitates dominating Palestinian women’s bodies and their reproductive capacities from 1948 until today.”
The full speech can be heard below.

In the past, Naber participated in another <a href="https://youtu.be/4GX3m-8k8m4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">panel discussion</a> on the “feminism and liberation struggles” of Palestinian people who — according to the host, Professor Sabina Vaught — are victims of an “ongoing US-Israeli colonization, occupation, settlement, and genocide.” Naber also led a TEDx Talk titled “<a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/nadine_naber_arab_feminism_is_not_an_oxymoron" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arab Feminism is Not an Oxymoron</a>,” discussing the history of head coverings.

During the Talk, Naber remarked that Muslim women in the 1980s held different beliefs about covering their hair. She then declared, “[T]he ‘veil’ has taken on new meaning in the 21st century — at a time when people are increasingly turning to religion as a refuge across the globe, including in the United States.”

She continued, “Especially after September 11 [2001] — in response to increased anti-muslim racism and war — more and more Arab Muslim women are proudly claiming their faith, and their Muslim identity, by covering their hair.” 

According to the Middle East Research and Information Project:

“Many accounts have suggested that the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/intifada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">intifada</a> has enabled Palestinian women to make great strides toward their social as well as political liberation … it is also true that the intifada has been the context for a vicious campaign in Gaza to impose the hijab (headscarf) on all women. The campaign included the threat and use of violence and developed into a comprehensive social offensive.”

<a href="https://www.wheaton.edu/academics/faculty/esau-mccaulley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Esau McCaulley</a> is an Assistant Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College.
Dr. McCaulley recently wrote a book titled <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Reading-While-Black-American-Interpretation/dp/083085486X" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Reading While Black.”</a> The Atlantic describes the book as grappling with the question of how God “views racism and police violence, and how Christians can find hope in moments of profound grief about how Black people are treated in America.”
In October 2020, Dr. McCaulley <a href="https://www.holypost.com/post/425-reading-the-bible-while-black-with-esau-mccaulley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared on a podcast called the Holy Post</a> to discuss his new book. Chapter 2 of the book is titled “New Testament and the Theology of Policing.” Dr. McCaulley discussed how Christians focus on Romans 13’s command to submit to ruling authorities. However, he says that the apostle Paul, the assumed author of the book of Romans, builds this premise on the idea that if you have done nothing evil, then you have nothing to fear. He goes on to say that black Americans who have done nothing wrong have to live in fear and that it is “intellectually dishonest” to say otherwise.
Dr. McCaulley writes an op-ed column for the New York Times. In April 2021, he wrote an op-ed titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210421013748/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/20/opinion/derek-chauvin-verdict-floyd.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“How I’m Talking to My Kids About the Derek Chauvin Verdict.”</a> In the article, he discusses how “cruel America can be to Black bodies” and his relief that Derek Chauvin was found guilty.
In the same op-ed, he mentions how he has recently begun his Wheaton classes with discussions of anti-Asian racism, the events that took place at the Capitol on January 6th, and officer-involved shootings.
In a similar op-ed from May 2020—titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210822122943/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/10/opinion/ahmaud-arbery-justice.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Ahmaud Arbery and the America That Doesn’t Exist”</a>—he discusses how he fears going for runs in predominantly white neighborhoods. He talks about the distrust that Black people feel towards the justice system and appeals for the country to “take responsibility for its devaluation of blackness and its complicity in violence against black bodies.” He also shares his belief that black people in America are seen as menaces instead of “fully human beings.”
In July 2021, he wrote a column titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220417192346/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/18/opinion/racism-christianity.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Why Christians Must Fight Systemic Racism.”</a> In the article, he says that racism is still alive and well in the United States. Dr. McCaulley says that Christians should consider that they may have biases that they’re unaware of and that training in potential hidden biases could be an opportunity for growth.
In an article for the Washington Post titled <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2019/09/23/why-it-matters-if-your-bible-was-translated-by-racially-diverse-group/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Why it matters if your Bible was translated by a racially diverse group,”</a> Dr. McCaulley argues that women and people of color often have not been included in the translation process. He advocates for black churches to join with other Christians of color and sympathetic white churches to write their own translation of the Bible.

<a href="https://www.wheaton.edu/academics/faculty/nathan-cartagena/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nathan Luis Cartagena</a> is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Wheaton College. Dr. Cartagena has dedicated his career to teaching Christians critical race theory (CRT) and advocates for the Church to adopt it as standard, Christian doctrine. 

In the article, “<a href="https://www.worldoutspoken.com/articles-blog/is-your-bible-anti-black" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Is Your Bible Anti-Black?</a>,” he accuses the King James Version (KJV) of containing “anti-blackness.” Dr. Cartagena writes that as the Bible was translated into Western languages “white supremacy, anti-blackness,” and ”European Imperialism” were embedded into the KJVs. He recommends that diverse teams of ethnic, racial, and cultural scholars be formed to purge the “historic idolatry of whiteness” from the KJV and other biblical translations.         

In an article for <a href="https://faithfullymagazine.com/critical-race-theory-christians/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Faithfully Magazine</a>, Dr. Cartagena writes that CRT is necessary to understand that America is a “racialized society.” Lamenting that many preachers won’t adopt anti-racist practices, Cartagena describes this as the Church’s “betrayal” against the “racialized minority.” 

Dr. Cartagena insists that Christians share common interests with critical race theorists. As Christ called his followers to stand with the marginalized, he writes, Christians must now stand with oppressed minorities:  

“How should Christians respond to these common interests and conclusions? They should begin by recalling that Christ and the apostles call the Church to foster justice and mercy, giving special attention to the marginalized and oppressed (see Matthew 25; James 1). Because marginalization and oppression in pigmentocracies operate along racialized lines, Christians should share the common interests of critical race theorists.” 

Critical race theory is an integral component of Dr. Cartagena’s faith. In a separate article, titled, “<a href="https://sojo.net/articles/i-found-christs-liberating-spirit-critical-race-theory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I Found Christ’s Liberating Spirit on Critical Race Theory</a>,” he states that CRT was necessary to “decolonize” his mind. Dr. Cartagena writes that his love for God grew only after learning of the Church’s “racist colonial and imperial practices.” 

During a separate interview for the online magazine, “<a href="https://sojo.net/articles/why-nathan-cartagena-teaches-critical-race-theory-evangelicals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sojourners</a>,” Dr. Cartagena states that he felt “prompted by the spirit” to teach CRT. He further characterizes the Holy Spirit of the Trinity as an “agent of race-conscious liberation.”

“I’m thinking in distinctively trinitarian terms about how the Spirit is actually an agent of race-conscious liberation. The Spirit is going to help us see these racialized structures.”

Dr. Cartagena describes many of his students as “racialized white folks” and resistant to anti-racist practices. CRT is therefore needed, or so he argues, to remove their false ideas from “white evangelical spaces.” 

Dr. Cartagena also berates white Christians, accusing them of upholding white supremacy within the church. In one tweet, he alleges that Christians worship the God of white supremacy. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
White supremacy is a god that demands human sacrifice and gorges itself on the least of these.
And many worship it every Sunday.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

In another article authored by Dr. Cartagena—titled, “<a href="https://faithfullymagazine.com/white-man-leading-party-church/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The White Man Leading the White Man’s Party and the White Church</a>”—he derides white evangelicals as ignorant for supporting conservatives for public office. He refers to the “white church” as a pejorative, accusing it of being complicit in conservatives’ “strategic gendered racism.” 

The Professor Watchlist Team worked reached out to Cartagena for comment but has not received a response prior to publication.

<a href="https://www.wheaton.edu/academics/faculty/joseph-cochran/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joseph (Joey) Cochran</a> is a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Wheaton College. According to his university profile, Cochran teaches numerous courses including “American History to 1865,” “American History Since 1865,” and “The Rise of Evangelicalism.”

In October 2023, Cochran penned an article titled “The Israel-Hamas Attack and the Evangelical Christian Response.” He believes, “Israel has the right to seek restitution and justice for the international crimes committed against its people, but Israel should not be permitted to commit pernicious war crimes themselves as they achieve their aims.”

Cochran also believes the <a href="https://www.patheos.com/blogs/anxiousbench/2023/10/the-israel-hamas-attack-and-the-evangelical-christian-response/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lands given to Palestine should be protected from Israel</a> and, if necessary, the Gerald F. Ford Carrier Strike Group should be used “as a deterrent to restrain Israel from overreach.”

Professor Cochran disagrees with many evangelical Christians who, through their public statements, have indicated a “united front against Hamas and unequivocal support of Israel.” He claims, “The current escalating rhetoric and tenor of evangelical Christians, who have invested themselves in this conflict, has tipped toward religiously prejudicial and genocidal attitudes.”

Cochran discusses the Just War theory, defined by Russell Moore as a theory “which holds that war is always awful, but—under certain, very limited circumstances—can be morally justified.” In response, Cochran writes:
“Just War theory has long been employed by evangelicals and the U.S. to justify and cultivate an industry complex of war. While Just War theory is a helpful premise to protect one’s people, it also can be used as an exploitative means to opportunistically justify offensives that gain territorial and material advantages.” 
Three days after posting the article, he <a href="https://twitter.com/Ptr_StephenFein/status/1713665678224523655" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> on an <a href="https://twitter.com/jtcochran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">account that has now been made private</a>:

<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3238" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Screen-Shot-2023-10-31-at-3.05.23-PM-1024x679.png" alt="" width="640" height="424" />

This is not the first time Cochran has shared his thoughts on “white privilege.” In April 2023, he wrote an article titled, “<a href="https://www.patheos.com/blogs/anxiousbench/2023/04/second-amendment-rights-is-about-protecting-white-supremacy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Second Amendment Rights Is About Protecting White Supremacy</a>.” He believes that firearm possession throughout history has been a “racialized phenomenon.” He writes:
“Though microbial pathogens played their role in wiping out Amerindians across the Eastern Woodlands to the Great Lakes basin, the gun trade played its role in Indian on Indian genocidal acts of gun violence, no different than how Whites have apathetically viewed black on black gun violence in predominantly black communities during the latter twentieth and early twenty-first century.” 
He argues that the real reason people are against giving up their Second Amendment rights is due to the “disempowering effect it has for white men.”
“While many people think and argue that preserving this right is about protecting the right to sports, like marksmanship or hunting, or preserving the right to defend one’s home, in reality, the unspoken reason is that this right is symbolic of the sacred idol of white supremacy in our history.” 
“Altering this law is an admission that white men no longer have the power to protect their lives from ‘others’ who threaten them, and they no longer have the right to manipulate gun policy to protect their power, or, when all else fails, to take the lives of those they historically despised as heathens or oppressed as slaves.”

<a href="https://www.lasalle.edu/news/faculty-expert/luisa-ossa-ph-d/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Luisa Ossa</a> is a Professor of Spanish and Area Chair of the Undergraduate Spanish Program at La Salle University. According to her university profile, her research interests include “Afro-Hispanic Literatures and Cultures, the Chinese presence in Latin America, and connections between racism and anti-Blackness in Latin America and the U.S.”
She is also the <a href="https://www.lasalle.edu/blog/2022/07/11/la-salle-unveils-new-black-studies-minor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Program Director for the university’s Black Studies minor</a>, which was launched in the fall of 2022. Ossa said the program came about as a way to fill a “curriculum gap” and offer something that was “more representative of the diverse, equitable, and inclusive campus community.” The courses will cover many topics including, “systemic racism, social justice, health and wellness, education, intersectionality, cultural contributions, and anti-racist frameworks and scholarship.”
Ossa was featured in a <a href="https://www.lasalle.edu/blog/2021/06/29/la-salle-professor-brings-lessons-on-anti-racism-into-the-classroom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">La Salle News</a> article titled, “La Salle Professor Brings Lessons on Anti-Racism Into the Classroom.” The article discusses how Ossa shows “racism’s pervasiveness” in her courses such as “Afro-Descendants in Latin America.” She says:
“I draw parallels between the U.S. and Latin America. I’ve shown students stories about Black women who are news anchors in the U.S. who wanted to wear their hair naturally and weren’t allowed and got fired. … There were Afro-Dominican women students in the course who were willing to share their personal experiences with these issues and their own struggles which was an impactful learning experience to their non-Black peers.” 
Ossa has also been an advocate for increased anti-racism and diversity coursework within STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) majors:
“In the past, science has been used to exploit Black people and other people of color. One of the most known examples is the Tuskegee Experiment, but there are many other examples. The erasure of Black scientists and mathematicians in curriculum is another example. Justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion and anti-racism curriculum are relevant to all fields.” 
Ossa participated in a June 2020 panel called, “Responding to Racism: A Lasallian Dialogue.” <a href="https://cruxnow.com/church-in-the-usa/2020/07/catholic-educators-urged-to-be-prisoners-of-prophetic-hope" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Crux Now</a> reports she “said that talk of Catholic institutions becoming anti-racist will ring hollow if they fail to ‘address the contradictions in the Lasallian and the broader Catholic world’ that arise from the ‘massive role that the Catholic Church played in racializing slavery in the Americas.’”

<a href="https://www.lasalle.edu/sas/faculty-member/maureen-oconnell-ph-d/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maureen O’Connell</a> is a Professor of Christian Ethics and Chair of the Department of Religion at La Salle University. According to her university profile, O’Connell’s current research project “explores racial identity formation, racism, and racial justice in Catholic institutions of higher education.” Her areas of expertise include “Christian/Catholic social ethics,” “the arts and social justice,” and “racism and racial justice.”

In 2012—after the death of Trayvon Martin—O’Connell wrote an opinion piece for the <a href="https://www.ncronline.org/news/justice/catholics-and-racism-examination-conscience-examination-culture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Catholic Reporter</a> titled, “Catholics and racism: from examination of conscience to examination of culture.” O’Connell believes that Catholic social teaching is “conspicuously silent” on the issue of racism; and when it is discussed by church officials, only focuses on “voluntary, deliberate and conscious acts” of racism. O’Connell writes:
“Failing to name racism as a cultural phenomenon - a set of dispositions and perspectives on the world that are collectively learned and symbolically shared - - only perpetuates white complicity in racism.” 
She continues:
“If you want evidence that whites are indeed complicit in a culture of racism, consider the fact that we are usually unable and at times unwilling to accept responsibility for the privileges afforded to us by our white skin. … So long as whites aren’t willing to accept responsibility for the privileges afforded to us by our white skin, we are indeed complicit in a culture of racism.” 
O’Connell authored a book titled, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Undoing-Knots-Generations-American-Anti-Blackness/dp/0807016659" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Undoing the Knots: Five Generations of American Catholic Anti-Blackness</a>.” The book’s description says it is “a personal and historical examination of white Catholic anti-Blackness in the US told through five generations of one family, and a call for meaningful racial healing and justice within Catholicism.”

<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220330054948/https://www.inquirer.com/news/lasalle-university-professor-book-catholic-black-20220222.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Philadelphia Inquirer</a> interviewed O’Connell about her book, asking her why she believes Catholic colleges have not “done right” by black students. O’Connell replied:
“Too much of our Catholic core curriculum or our Catholic intellectual tradition is very Eurocentric. So I think that is making it sort of hard for our students of color to see themselves in our curriculum. White students do not have places where [they] are being challenged or confronted by learning and cultures and stories that are different from that Eurocentric frame and that is not setting [them] up for success.” 
O’Connell published an article in the <a href="https://jmt.scholasticahq.com/article/11282-after-white-supremacy-the-viability-of-virtue-ethics-for-racial-justice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Journal of Moral Theology</a> titled, “After White Supremacy? The Viability of Virtue Ethics for Racial Justice.” In this piece, she claims, “White supremacy is the persistent driver of the ongoing evolution of racism since its more overt or blatant iterations in American history between the 1600s and the 1960s. These include ‘dysconscious racism’ or ‘covert racism’ or ‘internalized racism,’ or ‘color-blind racism.’”

She concludes:
“Catholic moral theologians need to become undone by an evolving awareness of the pervasiveness of white supremacy in the virtue tradition so that we might more effectively incorporate virtue ethics in the much-needed work for racial justice.”

Solnit Integrated Adult/Child Psychiatry program at Yale University. According to her faculty profile, Calhoun “specializes in the effects of medical anti-Black racism.”
After the 2024 U.S. General Election, Calhoun is facing criticism after telling Vice President Kamala Harris supporters to disassociate from relatives who voted for President-Elect Donald Trump. She explained her reasoning on the MSNBC show The ReidOut:
“So, if you are going through a situation where you have family members or you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you, that are against your livelihood, then it’s completely fine to not be around those people, and to tell them why.”

Calhoun told Reid that setting boundaries between Trump-supporting family members and telling them “I have a problem with the way you voted” is a necessary action. She claimed this may be beneficial to one’s mental health.

Ms. <a href="https://www.etown.edu/offices/diversity/staff.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nichole Gonzalez</a> serves as the Dean of Students and Executive Director for the College for Diversity, Equity, and Belonging, as well as the Title IX Coordinator for <a href="https://www.etown.edu/index.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elizabethtown College</a> in Pennsylvania.
On September 23rd, 2021, Ms. Gonzalez and other Elizabethtown College administrators requested to meet with the college’s TPUSA chapter president—Alexander Russo—regarding an upcoming event on September 27th. The chapter was set to host TPUSA Ambassador, Mr. Joe Basrawi, who planned to speak about Critical Race Theory in academia.
As <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro writes in Breitbart News</a>, Critical Race 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 the meeting on the 23rd, Ms. Gonzalez informed Russo and other members present that the event would be canceled. Chapter members that have spoken with and provided corresponding emails to the Professor Watchlist Team have confirmed that Dr.Gonzalez canceled the event. She reportedly described Mr. Basrawi as “intentionally disruptive” and that his speech would be harmful to the campus due to the fact that he is not officially a “Critical Race Theorist.” Ms. Gonzalez stated that the college did not have time to put protections in place for marginalized groups and allowing the event to proceed would only further marginalize Elizabethtown’s minority students.
During the same meeting, Ms. Gonzalez allegedly pressured the chapter to disband and form a new group at the college. She stated that a conservative group aside from Turning Point USA would help facilitate a better community on campus.
As Mr. <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeBasrawi/status/1441401107809325063" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Basrawi has pointed out on Twitter</a>, Elizabethtown will be sponsoring a series of racially derogatory events during the fall semester, titled, the “Forum on White Supremacy and Global Colonization.” One training that will be <a href="https://etown.edu/centers/global/calendar.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hosted on October 12th, 21th, and November 2nd is titled, “Mediocre + Multimedia Content.*&#8221;</a>
Upon completion of the training, participants will receive a copy of the book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mediocre-Dangerous-Legacy-White-America/dp/1580059511" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America”.</a> The book endorses a “new white male identity” to counteract “the devastating consequences of white male supremacy on women, people of color, and white men themselves.” The training is described as a “space for people who identify as people of color,” and bars white people from attending.

&nbsp;
When Russo highlighted the divisive nature of this and other events during the meeting, Ms. Gonzalez indicated her enthusiastic support for each one.
In a statement provided to the Professor Watchlist team, Mr. Baswari wrote, “It’s appalling to see that this is happening on American campuses these days. Gonzalez should be ashamed of herself being part of the problem of spreading tyranny on college campuses across the nation.”
In a separate statement provided to the Professor Watchlist team, Alexander Russo wrote, “I have been on this campus for almost 3 and a half years. Over the course of my education, the college has always supported freedom of thought and always strove to make sure everyone felt like they belong, no matter who they are. Now I am ashamed at the school I see before me that actively attempts to indoctrinate students and makes every attempt to divide us on race, COVID-19, and anything else they can. This is not the school I thought I had enrolled in.”

They’re having their own “Forum on White Supremacy” and this specific event below, BARS WHITE PEOPLE FROM ATTENDING! <a href="https://t.co/x0g5Ayfx36" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pic.twitter.com/x0g5Ayfx36</a>

After Mr. Basrawi highlighted the event, the college appears to have stealth edited the webpage and removed the reference to the event being designated for people who “identify as people of color.”

When Russo highlighted the divisive nature of this and other events during the meeting, Ms. Gonzalez indicated her enthusiastic support for each one.

In a statement provided to the Professor Watchlist team, Mr. Baswari wrote, “It’s appalling to see that this is happening on American campuses these days. Gonzalez should be ashamed of herself being part of the problem of spreading tyranny on college campuses across the nation.”

In a separate statement provided to the Professor Watchlist team, Alexander Russo wrote, “I have been on this campus for almost 3 and a half years. Over the course of my education, the college has always supported freedom of thought and always strove to make sure everyone felt like they belong, no matter who they are. Now I am ashamed at the school I see before me that actively attempts to indoctrinate students and makes every attempt to divide us on race, COVID-19, and anything else they can. This is not the school I thought I had enrolled in.”

Despite the cancellation, the original event was <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CUYDCmojnia/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank" rel="noopener">successfully hosted at an off-campus location</a>.

Aguilar’s profile does not encourage migrants to go through legal ports of entry where they would likely have more access to water and basic necessities.

<a href="https://www.uta.edu/academics/faculty/profile?username=dalylescha" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Annie Daly</a> is an assistant professor of Literacy Studies at The University of Texas at Arlington. Her faculty profile states that her research “examines how elementary teachers enact antiracist pedagogy by talking about race and racism with their students when teaching reading.”

Daly teaches a variety of <a href="https://www.coursicle.com/uta/professors/Annie+Daly/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">courses</a>, such as Teaching Diverse Learners and Multicultural Literature for Children and Young Adults. The course description for Teaching Diverse Learners says “students will examine education law and models related to diverse learners as well as strategies for working with parents and families of diverse learners.”

According to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/texas-professor-instructs-elementary-school-teachers-on-how-to-interrogate-whiteness/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a>, Daly instructs elementary teachers to “interrogate whiteness.” In her article, “<a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1086296X221141391" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race Talk Moves For Racial Literacy in the Elementary Classroom</a>,” Daly argues that “teachers must engage students in ongoing, critical discussions and be proactive in noticing and naming racist ideologies as they surface in classroom talk and texts.” Furthermore, a new analysis referred to as “anchoring” supports “students in moving from surface-level conceptions of race to a deeper understanding of systemic racism.”

Daly developed a study to help teachers talk about racism in the classroom. In the article, she shared how she spent 10 months observing a fourth-grade classroom. Daly described the teacher as a “white cisgender woman” who “developed a yearlong literacy curriculum focused on culture, race, and equity.”

Throughout the school year, Daly reported there were “31 conversations about race and racism, 16 of which occurred during whole-group read-alouds.” Topics covered included “how white ‘founding fathers’ enslaved Africans and African Americans, the possibilities and challenges of the Reconstruction era for Black liberation, and child activism during the civil rights movement…”
“Much more research…is needed at the elementary grade level to understand how children and teachers make sense of race, racism, and antiracism while reading and discussing shared texts.”

<a href="https://www.sia.psu.edu/faculty/hatemi">Dr. Peter Hatemi</a>, a Professor of Political Science at Penn State, stated that conservatives express more issues of psychoticism, which he defined as " uncooperative, hostile, troublesome, and socially withdrawn, but lack feelings of inferiority and have an absence of anxiety. At the extremes, those scoring high on P are manipulative, tough-minded, and practical." He also claims that the counterparts of these conservatives [the left] is more likely to be altruistic, well socialized, empathic, and conventional. However upon review he accidentally switched data points around and should have labeled liberals with the adjectives he labeled conservatives with. Presented with this information, he claimed that it did not change his conclusion.

Warning: Profile Contains Explicit Language
<a href="https://sociology.la.psu.edu/people/smr8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Sam Richards</a> is a Teaching Professor of Sociology at <a href="https://www.psu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pennsylvania State University</a>. He is known for his racially laden diatribes delivered to students during his lectures.

Dr. Richards is most prominently known for teaching SOC119, or “Race and Ethnic Relations”. The class is <a href="https://www.soc119.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allegedly the “largest race and cultural relations course in the United States,</a>” according to the official site. Dr. Richards also streams his lectures live, with over 57,000 subscribers on Youtube as of August 2021.

The course addresses relevant racial, political, and cross-cultural issues amongst young adults. Classes consist of Dr. Richards facilitating discussions for students to confront and examine viewpoints contrary to their own.

However, lectures typically devolve into racial and politically biased tirades. Dr. Richards frequently accuses white students of harboring racial animus, alleges that white supremacy is embedded in American culture, and accuses American Christians of seeking to overthrow the government.

In one lecture, titled “White Discomfort,” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKTUG02kTTg&amp;ab_channel=SOC119" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Richards selects a black and white student and asks them to stand in front of the class</a>. Claiming that racial equality does not exist, he proceeds to position both students abreast of one another before yelling, “They are not f****** equal!”

&nbsp;

In another class, titled “Christian Sharia,” Dr. Richards spends over an hour <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmzDnulSV_g&amp;ab_channel=SOC119" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lecturing on the threat he perceives Christians pose to the country.</a> At one point, when displaying a picture of a Muslim man holding a sign that reads, “Behead Those That Insult Islam,” he proceeds to claim, “You can’t find that anywhere in the Koran….I know that you can find it in the Bible.”

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/RICHARDS-YOU-CAN-FIND-IT.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Later in the same lecture, he accuses Vice President Mike Pence of being a religious extremist on par with that of the Taliban.

&nbsp;

In a lecture delivered in <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=17832" target="_blank" rel="noopener">March of 2021 and captured by Campus Reform</a>, Dr. Richards selects a white student, Brian, from the audience for a class exercise. He proceeds to ask Brian who he oppressed that day. After the student replied that he hadn’t oppressed anybody, Dr. Richards retorts that since Brian has “left his house” and “is breathing”, that, as a white person, he must have oppressed somebody that day. The full interaction may be viewed below.

&nbsp;

As of August 2021, Dr. Richards has disabled comments or unlisted many of his videos following publicity of his lectures.

The main site for SOC119 mandates that regardless of vaccination status, students will have to wear masks while attending class.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Richards for comment but has not received a reply by the time of publication.

<a href="https://ed.psu.edu/directory/dr-edward-j-fuller" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Edward J. Fuller</a> is an Assistant Professor of Education at <a href="https://www.psu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pennsylvania State University</a>. On his personal Twitter account, Dr. Fuller called for drunk drivers to run over unvaccinated parents.

The Tweet was a response to school-choice activist <a href="https://twitter.com/DeAngelisCorey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Corey A. DeAngelis's</a> opposition to mandatory masking in schools. In his reply, Dr. Fuller asked why parents have the right to endanger children by refusing to enforce mandatory masking. He then appeared to suggest that people with masks should drive while under the influence and run over “pro-covid” parents who oppose mask restrictions, as it is their freedom to do so.

<a href="https://polisci.la.psu.edu/people/jap45/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James “Jim” Piazza</a> is a Liberal Arts Professor of Political Science at Penn State University. His research interests include terrorism, counterterrorism, political violence, intrastate conflict, and the politics of the Middle East and Islamic world.

Professor Piazza has been outspoken against former President Donald Trump for many years. In 2020, he wrote an article titled <a href="https://theconversation.com/when-politicians-use-hate-speech-political-violence-increases-146640" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“When Politicians Use Hate Speech, Political Violence Increases,”</a> where he argues that Donald Trump is “accused of publicly denigrating people based on their racial, ethnic or religious backgrounds.” He also claims that domestic terrorism more than doubled in the United States since the beginning of Trump’s presidency.

Another article, titled <a href="https://www.lawfareblog.com/white-demographic-anxiety-fuels-support-torture-terrorism-suspects" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“White Demographic Anxiety Fuels Support for Turtore of Terrorism Suspects,”</a> discusses the U.S. Census Bureau’s prediction that the U.S. will be a “majority-minority” country by 2044.

He cites his own research to claim that when white people hear this information, they become more likely to express negative attitudes towards racial minorities. He also claims that this “prompts whites to support political organizations like the Tea Party and right-wing politicians like Donald Trump that truck in anti-minority and anti-foreigner appeals.”

Another recent study of Piazza’s, <a href="https://dea7fa46-473c-46b9-a155-9bc760b1ad78.filesusr.com/ugd/93efc7_ddafabb1f5244e7e981c9009b945ec91.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Approval of Donald Trump, Racism, Xenophobia, and Support for Political Violence,”</a> alleges that Trump supporters are more likely to be supportive of political violence due to their “racist and xenophobic attitudes.” His conclusion states:
“We also find that Trump approvers are motivated by racial animus and mistruct and hatred towards immigrants and foreigners, and that these attitudes, in part, may make them more accepting of political violence.” 
Piazza’s most recent article for <a href="https://theconversation.com/the-sore-loser-effect-rejecting-election-results-can-destabilize-democracy-and-drive-terrorism-171571" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Conversation</a> focuses on his study <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10659129211054451" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Sore Losers: Does Terrorism and Approval of Terrorism Increase in Democracies When Election Losers Refuse to Accept Election Results?”</a> This article discusses the “baseless allegation that Joe Biden stole the 2020 U.S. presidential election” and the “Big Lie” that Trump really won.

Piazza claims that when politicians refuse to accept defeat and become “sore losers,” this “produces a situation where political violence is no longer seen as taboo.” He states:
“These results show that when politicians refuse to accept a free and fair democratic election’s outcome, and instead choose to promote a popular narrative of a stolen or dirty election, they place their people in physical danger. Popular tolerance for terrorism grows, and so does terorrist activity itself.”

<a href="https://ed.psu.edu/directory/dr-francesca-lopez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Francesca Lopez</a> is a Professor of Education and the Waterbury Chair in Equity Pedagogy at Penn State University.

Lopez co-authored a report that describes “effective responses” school leaders can use when <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/professors-publish-playbook-teachers-address-parents-concerned-crt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">questioned about critical race theory (CRT) curricula.</a>

The report, titled <a href="https://kappanonline.org/community-concerns-crthodge-lope-rosenberg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“How to Respond to Community Concerns About Critical Race Theory,”</a> says CRT can help students “unpack and rethink the social construct of race that divides so much of U.S. society.” The authors write that “school and district leaders must support teachers in including discussions about race in education in ways that are aligned with CRT principles.”

The report provides a three-step approach to addressing concerns about critical race theory, including: opening by describing a shared value, “use active voice to name an antagonist (e.g., the people who are trying to divide us) and call out divide-and-conquer tactics,” and ending with a “call to action that affirms common values” instead of being race-neutral or colorblind.

The authors argue that rather than being race-neutral, districts should directly address specific populations. They say this will affirm students and acknowledge the “history and present realities of racism and segregation.”

In an interview with <a href="https://www.edweek.org/leadership/how-to-respond-to-parents-crt-complaints/2022/11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Education Week</a>, Lopez stated:
“The goal of effective messaging is essentially to step away from the fueling of fear because people can very easily go down a rabbit hole of engaging in debates that become echo chambers.”
She added:
“Effective messaging moves beyond just engaging in a debate. It keeps people focused with a clear message on what, for example, equity-focused approaches in education are really meant to do.”

<a href="https://hhd.psu.edu/contact/gary-king" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gary King</a> is a Professor of Biobehavioral Health at Penn State University. King has co-authored two reports about Penn State.

According to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220713002336/https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2021/06/16/penn-state-black-faculty-racism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a>, the first discusses the “stagnation of efforts to increase the number of Black professors” and the second “revealed through a survey the slights, indignities, microaggressions, systemic obstacles and overt racism that many Black professors say they have endured in State College.”

During the fall 2022 semester, more than 400 professors and lecturers, including King, <a href="https://www.pennlive.com/pennstate/2022/11/under-fire-penn-state-president-defends-her-commitment-to-diversity-and-equity.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed a letter questioning Penn State President Neeli Bendapudi’s commitment to racial justice.</a> The letter comes after Bendapudi announced the Center for Racial Justice, outlined in the university’s strategic plan under former President Eric Barron, was canceled.

The <a href="https://onwardstate.com/2022/11/02/concerned-penn-state-faculty-pen-letter-to-university-leadership-over-racial-justice-worries/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faculty writes:</a>
“This is symptomatic of a decades-long history at Penn State, where the university has failed to invest in work that addresses structural inequality and the realities of structural racism on our campuses, in our community, and in the state.” 
They also state:
“At a time of rising racial inequality and intensifying racial injustice, Penn State leadership has decided to turn its back on research to address and potentially positively impact the realities of racial injustice.” 
Penn State ended the most recent fiscal year in a budget deficit and President Bendapudi has <a href="https://www.collegian.psu.edu/news/penn-state-faculty-blindsided-by-budget-changes-affecting-racial-justice-initiatives-on-campus/article_2d26a134-5033-11ed-94bb-8f57ebaa5b8c.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">implemented budget cuts to make up for it.</a> King, who was not satisfied with this explanation, said:
“The center was a symbol. It was a very important symbol that everyone in the university could identify with and a means by which Penn State could indicate how they are moving forward into the 21st century and dealing with matters of racism.” 
He <a href="https://www.sungazette.com/news/education/2022/11/why-black-faculty-are-questioning-penn-states-commitment-to-diversity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added:</a>
“Penn State is now showing that it’s a Big Ten university with regards to matters of diversity and anti-racism.” 
King also <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1s2iANajV0C69hQmEi63I5iGBtDSrA4NJoZmhWaTQZ90/viewform?ts=6106e185&amp;edit_requested=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed a letter circulated by the Coalition for a Just University (CJU)</a> in 2021 calling for a campus-wide vaccine mandate. The letter’s other demands included required masking, social distancing, and a more flexible and reasonable teaching policy.

In August 2021, King, along with 270 other faculty members, chose to teach his in-person classes via Zoom to <a href="https://www.collegian.psu.edu/news/campus/tone-deaf-faculty-argues-against-penn-state-s-disciplinary-action-warning-for-zoom-in-protesters/article_e7835142-0554-11ec-9ceb-a70e2b4e2db8.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protest Penn State’s lack of a COVID vaccine mandate.</a> King once again compared Penn State to the other Big Ten universities, saying:
“It appears as though [Penn State] will do everything [it] can to win a football game against Big Ten rivals but not compete with them in promoting the interests of public health with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

<a href="https://polisci.la.psu.edu/people/eah13/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Errol Henderson</a> is an Associate Professor of International Relations in the Department of Political Science at Penn State University.

In May 2021, Henderson <a href="https://www.collegian.psu.edu/news/campus/black-penn-state-professor-sues-university-for-discrimination-hostile-work-environment-based-on-race/article_64c6774c-b40b-11eb-bb3a-43e569fc6993.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed a lawsuit against the university for alleged discrimination</a>. According to the lawsuit, he filed several formal complaints against Penn State over the past 10 years due to a “racially hostile work environment.” The suit argues his race was a “motivating and/or determinative factor” in the “discriminatory” way he was treated.

In 2019, Henderson wrote an op-ed for The Daily Collegian titled, “<a href="https://www.collegian.psu.edu/opinion/letters_to_editor/being-black-at-penn-state-letter-to-the-editor/article_56c889e0-19d6-11e9-918c-4b0acfadb892.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Being Black at Penn State</a>.” In this article, he accused Penn State of having a “toxic racist climate.” He concluded his article by writing:
“The racists who are hidden in plain sight use the cover of concealment to shroud their racist practices; and they use the silence of others to conceal their white racist actions; and those who remain silent are complicit in that white racism. These are unfortunate facts of being black at Penn State.” 
Henderson’s lawsuit states:
“Within weeks of publication, Dr. Henderson learned that several of his white colleagues had raised complaints that he had created a racially hostile work environment for them, and that he was being investigated by Penn State for alleged racial harassment.” 
The lawsuit continues by saying Henderson was issued a formal letter of discipline, which charged him with “discrimination and harassment and related inappropriate conduct” under University Policy AD91. He was barred from teaching until June 2021 and was required to take remedial courses in teaching.

Henderson’s suit alleges that his race was a “motivaing and/or determinative factor” in the “discriminatory” way he was treated.

In March 2022, a <a href="https://www.pennlive.com/news/2022/03/black-professor-given-chance-to-amend-federal-civil-rights-suit-against-penn-state.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">judge dismissed part of Henderson’s lawsuit</a> but gave him the opportunity to file an amended complaint. The judge wrote “the deficiencies that caused the dismissal of the hostile work claims may be easily rectified by providing more concrete factual details to support his contention of bias and racism.” As of publication, the lawsuit is still ongoing.

On November 3, 2022, Henderson participated in a rally hosted by the Committee of Concerned Penn State Faculty to <a href="https://www.collegian.psu.edu/news/penn-state-community-rallies-to-amplify-their-voices-after-cancellation-of-center-for-racial-justice/article_458d5928-5bbb-11ed-af6f-33af95641c7a.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protest the cancellation of the planned Center for Racial Justice.</a> He spoke during the rally, denouncing several members of the Penn State Administration and saying,
“I’ve been here 20 years fighting the fight against white supremacism.”

<a href="https://english.la.psu.edu/directory/mfb12/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Bérubé</a> is the Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Literature at Penn State University.

Bérubé has been outspoken about his support for abortion. In 2018, the Pennsylvania House was <a href="https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/billinfo/billinfo.cfm?syear=2017&amp;sind=0&amp;body=H&amp;type=B&amp;bn=2050" target="_blank" rel="noopener">considering a bill</a> that would ban abortion for babies diagnosed with Down syndrome in utero. Bérubé wrote an <a href="https://www.pennlive.com/opinion/2018/04/this_pa_abortion_bill_has_noth.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">op-ed for PennLive</a> where he shared that he and his wife, Janet, have a son with Down syndrome who has been a huge blessing to them. He writes: “In our family, Down syndrome isn’t a big deal.”

However, he adds:
“As much as we love him, we would never want to force anyone else to have a child with Down syndrome.” 
He argues that some parents “might be terribly disability-phobic” and “where is the moral benefit in compelling them to have a child they may very well resent and mistreat.” He ends by writing:
“Janet and I believe strongly that prospective parents should be able to terminate pregnancies for any reason.” 
Bérubé co-authored an article for The New Republic titled, “<a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/165649/professors-speech-disqualifying" target="_blank" rel="noopener">When Professors’ Speech Is Disqualifying</a>.” The article begins by asking the question, “Does academic freedom protect professors espousing white supremacist ideas?” Bérubé et al. claim that the answer in the past has always been yes, before adding:
“This is a disturbing realization for anyone who thinks of academic freedom as one of the cornerstones of a free and open society - and who understands how profoundly it is threatened by Republican state legislatures trying to criminalize the teaching of critical race theory (CRT).”
Before the beginning of the 2021 fall semester, Bérubé <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1s2iANajV0C69hQmEi63I5iGBtDSrA4NJoZmhWaTQZ90/viewform?ts=6106e185&amp;edit_requested=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed an open letter</a> put together by the Coalition for a Just University (CJU). The letter had a list of six demands for the administration including a campus-wide vaccine mandate, required masking and social distancing, and a more flexible and reasonable teaching policy.

Bérubé also spoke out in defense of colleague Oliver Baker. Baker got into a physical altercation with a student who was counter-protesting at a pro-vaccine mandate rally on Penn State’s campus. He was charged with harassment, disorderly conduct, and simple assault.

“Even if Penn State still wants to signal disapproval of Baker’s actions after all that, ‘initiating termination proceedings is like calling a nuclear strike on a jaywalker.’” 
Penn State ultimately decided not to fire Baker, but not before Bérubé added:
“Every faculty member at Penn State at every campus should be alarmed, should be profoundly disturbed, by this case because it is every bit as outrageous as it looks.”

<a href="https://anth.la.psu.edu/people/dwb5537/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Douglas Bird</a> is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Pennsylvania State University. According to his university profile, he has “broad interests in how social and ecological factors interact to influence patterns of resource use and their archaeological expressions.”

According to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230429094159/https://www.inquirer.com/news/pennsylvania-state-university-indigenous-students-faculty-20230425.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Philadelphia Inquirer</a>, Penn State originally got 776,514 acres from the federal government under the Morrill Act of 1862. The university paid $38,089 for the land, but the faculty argue this is a “gross underpayment” given that the land is now valued at over $4.5 billion.

The Penn State University Faculty Senate recently voted 118-1 to approve a report on how the university can reconcile its Native American “land grab.”

Douglas Bird, Chair of the Faculty Senate Committee on Education Equity and the Campus Environment, stated:
“Penn State in all its history has had only one Indigenous program, an American Indian Leadership Program, that ran from 1970 to 2010. That’s the only contribution that Penn State has ever made to Indigenous communities, despite the fact that every single cert [of its original endowment] came from expropriated Indigenous land.” 
The report calls for a <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/penn-state-faculty-school-needs-truth-and-reconciliation-process-for-its-native-land-grab/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">special joint task force</a> “to implement a truth and reconciliation process regarding Penn State’s original federal endowment.” The Inquirer reports, it “also recommends the creation of a program of Indigenous studies, the holding of an Indigenous Peoples Day event, and setting aside space on campus to ‘engage in justice,’ celebrate peace, and honor ‘the continued vitality of the First Nations and historic tribes’ whose land Penn State currently sits on.”

Professor Bird, who reportedly teared up on the senate floor while presenting the report, says the resolution “is simply to get some action and some level of support for Indigenous studies here at Penn State.” He also stated:
“Why doesn’t Penn State invest in a place, a space that is a nexus of peace? It would be a place where Penn State can acknowledge the traumatic history.”

After a camera identified similar images in May, the investigators were able to identify Matsoukas by his Subaru Outback.

The <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/06/15/penn-states-themis-matsoukas-begged-rangers-to-kill-him/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> reports, “The shocking footage reportedly showed the professor wearing nothing but a ski mask, boots with socks, and a wristwatch, and carrying a North Face backpack. Matsoukas reportedly could be seen masturbating near a women’s public restroom, before ‘engaging in a sexual act with the dog,’ according to the affidavit.”

DCNR later recovered images from a trail camera at a privately owned camp that show Matsoukas’s actions date back to 2014.

DCNR investigators obtained a search warrant for Matsoukas’s home and vehicle, seeking to obtain items that were seen in the trail camera footage. When investigators arrived at his home, the professor allegedly became panicked and said repeatedly, “I’m done, I’m dead.”

He told investigators he did it “to blow off steam” and reportedly “begged” the DCNR officials to kill him saying, “What do I have to do to get you to shoot me? I need to die.”

Matsoukas was arraigned on charges of “open lewdness, indecent exposure, sexual intercourse with an animal and animal cruelty.”

Her profile says she’s involved with “a wide array of research experience in the field of racial and gender equities in higher education, particularly in graduate education and campus sexual assault.”

In December 2023, Porter <a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/47A3521AE1FB9B1D2FC93518D55435F3/S002392162300004Xa.pdf/sexual_consent_and_relational_rights_a_call_for_relational_repair.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authored a paper</a> entitled “Sexual consent and relational rights: a call for relational repair,” where she discusses women’s rights in light of sexual violence. Porter said:
“The history of sexual consent as law is deeply intertwined with the denial of rights to all women, with Indigenous women and [b]lack women at the most extreme position of sexual and social subordination. Definitions of rape and consent corresponded to the gendered racist hierarchal social structure of the early colonies, denying enslaved African women the right to withhold consent, alongside all wives, all poor women and sex workers across race.”
In 2022, Porter participated in a <a href="https://youtu.be/zyW2nml0juU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">panel discussion</a> moderated by <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/charleshfdavisiii" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor Charles H.F.

When asked about police being the first response to sexual violence on campus, Porter stated that traumatic experiences like “state violence against black communities” and the “murder of black trans women” (biological males) keep them from reporting the crimes.

Aghasaleh moved to the United States from Iran at the age of twelve to escape the political turmoil that was occurring in his native country at that time. He has a green card to be in the United States, which is up for renewal next year. 
According to <a href="https://www.times-standard.com/2024/05/03/professor-arrested-amid-cal-poly-humboldt-protests-shares-story/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Times-Standard</a>, Aghasaleh was “arrested [for actions while protesting] early Tuesday morning [April 30th] by a Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputy.”
“I was a drop in the ocean, I was trying to make sure students are being safe and their voice is being heard,” he said of his students.
The Times-Standard also reports that Aghasaleh planned a hunger strike before the protests and that he expected himself and his students to be arrested:
“We were expecting an arrest to happen. I wanted my students to be released swiftly and peacefully,” Aghaslaeh said. 
“Aghasaleh was arrested early Tuesday morning for the same slew of misdemeanors most other protesters face — resisting arrest, refusing to comply with police enforcing trespassing laws, remaining present at the place of an unlawful assembly, and trespassing.”
According to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/08/california-professor-student-protests" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Guardian</a>, Aghaseleh has been put on a two-month suspension by the university.
Eventually, the professor ended the hunger strike after experiencing weakness from food deprivation:
“[A]fter going without food for more than 24 hours, Aghasaleh had grown weak and queasy. The last of the protesters were released on Wednesday. Later that day, Aghasaleh invited colleagues and students to dinner at a local Chinese buffet, two miles from campus, where Aghasaleh broke their hunger strike.”

<a href="https://crgs.humboldt.edu/people/loren-cannon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Loren Cannon</a> is a professor in the <a href="https://crgs.humboldt.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Critical Race, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Department</a> at California State University Polytechnic, Humboldt (Cal Poly Humboldt). According to his university profile, Cannon “specializes in trans-theory, feminist ethics, applied ethics, ethical theory, and metaethics.” His writings have “focused on trans-theory, feminist ethics, collective responsibility and collective belief.”

In an essay published in 2017 titled, <a href="https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.apaonline.org/resource/collection/B4B9E534-A677-4F29-8DC9-D75A5F16CC55/LgbtqV17n1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Targeting Trans: The Marriage Equality Backlash,”</a> Cannon stated his focus for writing the essay was “to describe a number of ways transphobia has presented itself in the first two years of the Marriage Equality Era.” Cannon claimed that “the events of the last two years have only made it obvious (if indeed there was any doubt) that the US continues to struggle with its legacy and contemporary practices of racism, sexism, and classism, along with transphobia, biphobia, and heterosexism.”

In the same article, Cannon focuses on “anti trans legislation” based off of a study done by the<a href="https://transequality.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> National Transgender Advocacy Group at the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE)</a>. 

Cannon claims this legislation has resulted in “the severe reduction in opportunities for positive and respectful social participation. If the majority of these proposals were to find their way into state law, it would be nearly impossible to live as a trans person in certain locales. It is a legal onslaught seemingly meant to cleanse public spaces of all those who are neither cisgender nor gender conforming.” The <a href="https://secure.transequality.org/site/Advocacy?page=UserActionInactive&amp;id=138" target="_blank" rel="noopener">legislation addressed </a>can be found on the NCTE website (or see image below).

Cannon’s most recent publication is titled “<a href="https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781793623812/The-Politicization-of-Trans-Identity-An-Analysis-of-Backlash-Scapegoating-and-Dog-Whistling-from-Obergefell-to-Bostock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Politicization of Trans Identity: An Analysis of Backlash, Scapegoating, and Dog-Whistling from Obergefell to Bostock.”</a> In Rowman and Littlefield’s book description, the publishing company claims “Cannon carefully presents the evidence that transgender identity itself has become politicized post Obergefell and provides a thorough consideration of the ramifications of this politicization across the nation, especially in the form of proposed legislation and violence.” The book was published in 2022.

According to the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/89544/california-professor-bans-college-republicans-from-womens-history-month-events/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Examiner</a>, Alabi banned conservatives from a discussion about women and African-Americans in 2017 titled “Curl Talk.” According to an email Alabi sent to school administrators, she admitted to banning members of the Republican club from the event. She also wrote, &#8220;If the college will not stand up to the Republican club, I have decided to stand up for myself and other students.&#8221; (See image of email below).

The Orange Coast College Republicans sent a letter to the college’s administration with demands following their exclusion from Alabi’s event.
The demands include an investigation into Alabi’s history of discrimination against conservatives, and if such is proven, that she be suspended from teaching at Orange Coast College for two semesters. (See list of demands below obtained by the Washington Examiner):
“1. That an investigation be opened, or reopened, into Jessica Alibi discriminating against Republican club members, and conservative students as self-reported by her via public email to you. 
 
2. That upon the completion of the investigation if it’s proven that Professor Alabi discriminated against students on the basis of their ideological viewpoint and party affiliation that, at the least, she be suspended from teaching for two non-intersession semesters at Orange Coast College, and if possible as well as the Coast Community College District, and be permitted to return after that suspension once she’s attended an in-depth training on student’s rights and preventing viewpoint discrimination, as well as be required to write a one page long apology letter to the OCC Republicans and the members effected by her actions. 
 
3. That President Harkins write a letter to the Board of Trustees supporting the revision and ratification of board policy changes proposed by our club in early April to the Board of Trustees that would amend current district policies to protect students from discrimination on the basis of political affiliations and ideological beliefs . 
 
4. That Orange Coast College will take measures to start, or improve, training for faculty and staff on how to respect students’ rights, viewpoints, and be trained on what viewpoint discrimination is to prevent future instances.”

<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.”

&nbsp;
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.

Fletcher states that he and his fellow Democrats must take a stand against the groups that are encouraging violence on our democracy, which he lists as right-wing militia groups, the Proud Boys, and white nationalists.
In the same <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyfhl9SLAjI&amp;ab_channel=KUSINews" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> addressed to Democratic party officials and supporters, Fletcher goes on to state that individuals leading the recall efforts are linked to “neo-nazis, white supremacists, and members of right-wing militias.”

As <a href="https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/general/bos.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chair</a> of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, Fletcher <a href="https://www.kusi.com/hundreds-of-san-diego-businesses-may-have-to-close-their-doors-for-good/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has called</a> for restaurants in the county to close in order to limit the spread of COVID-19 and has imposed significant restrictions on those that are still able to remain open. Fletcher has <a href="https://timesofsandiego.com/politics/2020/05/22/supervisor-fletcher-restaurants-that-flout-distancing-rules-will-be-closed/">even threatened</a> restaurants that flout the county’s restrictions with closure via a public health order if they do not comply with the restrictions. According to CBS, Fletcher <a href="https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/board-of-supervisors-holding-closed-door-meeting-to-discuss-judges-restaurant-ruling/509-69081692-f027-4e5b-b971-b49c0badbc71" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cited</a> CDC data in a Facebook post that allegedly demonstrates that the virus is more likely to spread in restaurants.
While closing restaurants due to Covid, Fletcher claimed that Black Lives Matter (BLM) Protests do not spread the virus. In a <a href="https://twitter.com/nathanfletcher/status/1277753711419219968">tweet</a>, Fletcher claims that there are no outbreaks associated with any of the protests.

In his capacity as a Supervisor, Fletcher asked the Board to issue a resolution declaring racism a “public health crisis”. According to his <a href="https://www.supervisornathanfletcher.com/content/d4/en/priorities-policy/petitions/racism.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, the resolution will force San Diego County to use “racial and equity data to prioritize funding.” In another <a href="https://twitter.com/nathanfletcher/status/1346670883612475393?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1346670883612475393%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbs8.com%2Farticle%2Fnews%2Flocal%2Fsan-diego-leaders-declare-racism-a-public-health-crisis%2F509-976bda84-95c5-49d7-8fcc-a846a6a418ff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweet</a> promoting this resolution, Fletcher declares that “systematic racism has permeated our history” and calls on for people to “dismantle these structures.” The Board of Supervisors later <a href="https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/racism-is-a-public-health-crisis-san-diego-county-board-of-supervisors-passes-resolution/2494375/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed </a>the resolution 5-0.

<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 - 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'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.”

&nbsp;

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.

Fletcher states that he and his fellow Democrats must take a stand against the groups that are encouraging violence on our democracy, which he lists as right-wing militia groups, the Proud Boys, and white nationalists.

In the same <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyfhl9SLAjI&amp;ab_channel=KUSINews" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> addressed to Democratic party officials and supporters, Fletcher goes on to state that individuals leading the recall efforts are linked to “neo-nazis, white supremacists, and members of right-wing militias.”

As <a href="https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/general/bos.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chair</a> of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, Fletcher <a href="https://www.kusi.com/hundreds-of-san-diego-businesses-may-have-to-close-their-doors-for-good/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has called</a> for restaurants in the county to close in order to limit the spread of COVID-19 and has imposed significant restrictions on those that are still able to remain open. Fletcher has <a href="https://timesofsandiego.com/politics/2020/05/22/supervisor-fletcher-restaurants-that-flout-distancing-rules-will-be-closed/">even threatened</a> restaurants that flout the county’s restrictions with closure via a public health order if they do not comply with the restrictions. According to CBS, Fletcher <a href="https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/board-of-supervisors-holding-closed-door-meeting-to-discuss-judges-restaurant-ruling/509-69081692-f027-4e5b-b971-b49c0badbc71" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cited</a> CDC data in a Facebook post that allegedly demonstrates that the virus is more likely to spread in restaurants.

While closing restaurants due to Covid, Fletcher claimed that Black Lives Matter (BLM) Protests do not spread the virus. In a <a href="https://twitter.com/nathanfletcher/status/1277753711419219968">tweet</a>, Fletcher claims that there are no outbreaks associated with any of the protests.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
We have not seen ANY outbreaks tied to protests.
This includes the re-opening protests (want to get a hair cut) and the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BlackLivesMatter?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BlackLivesMatter</a> protests (want to not die).

We have seen them tied to bars, restaurants, house parties, offices, social clubs and other related activities.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

In his capacity as a Supervisor, Fletcher asked the Board to issue a resolution declaring racism a “public health crisis”. According to his <a href="https://www.supervisornathanfletcher.com/content/d4/en/priorities-policy/petitions/racism.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, the resolution will force San Diego County to use “racial and equity data to prioritize funding.” In another <a href="https://twitter.com/nathanfletcher/status/1346670883612475393?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1346670883612475393%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbs8.com%2Farticle%2Fnews%2Flocal%2Fsan-diego-leaders-declare-racism-a-public-health-crisis%2F509-976bda84-95c5-49d7-8fcc-a846a6a418ff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweet</a> promoting this resolution, Fletcher declares that “systematic racism has permeated our history” and calls on for people to “dismantle these structures.” The Board of Supervisors later <a href="https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/racism-is-a-public-health-crisis-san-diego-county-board-of-supervisors-passes-resolution/2494375/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed </a>the resolution 5-0.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Systemic Racism has permeated throughout our history to keep people of color marginalized.

Candis Bond

<a href="https://www.augusta.edu/faculty/directory/view.php?id=CBOND" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Candis Bond</a> is a Director and Associate Professor of English at Augusta University. Her teaching and research interests include Genre Theory and Rhetoric and Composition.
FEMINISM 
Bond was featured in <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/jesuit-university-students-work-abortion-group-part-catcalling-course/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix article</a> titled “Jesuit university students work for pro-abortion group as part of ‘catcalling’ course.” The publication mentioned a course known as “Politics of the Streets” which, according to The Fix, “[teaches] students about efforts to make catcalling a crime and how public streets are shaped by white privilege, feminism, imperialism and intersectionality.”
Bond — who taught the course while working at Saint Louis University — defined “catcalling” as “‘whistling or saying something unwanted’ toward a woman on the street.” Upon interviewing Bond, The Fix wrote:
“For women and gender studies professors, catcalling is all about sexism, Bond said: ‘They are seeing catcalling as a symptom of living in a patriarchal culture that makes women’s bodies sexually available whenever they’re in a public space, so that’s kind of where they’re coming from’ … Bond said her overall goal in the course is that students see walking in a city as a form of activism.”
ABORTION
After the Supreme Court of the United States overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, Bond <a href="https://www.self.com/story/reproductive-justice-hope" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote an opinion editorial</a> titled “How Reproductive Justice Advocates of Color Are Practicing Hope Right Now.” She stated:
“As I grieve the loss of our constitutional right to abortion, though, I remind myself that the battle for bodily autonomy is not over and that there is a way forward. In fact we have a clear, intersectional blueprint to follow as we build a new movement for abortion access: reproductive justice.”
Bond goes on to discuss how 12 black women in the mid-90s “merged the ideas of reproductive rights and social justice” to form the new concept. She calls the women “pioneers” for asserting their right to kill their unborn children. Bond fails to mention the fact that black women are having abortions at a rate of “<a href="https://www.guttmacher.org/gpr/2008/08/abortion-and-women-color-bigger-picture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">five times more than that of women</a>” which contributes to a <a href="https://minorityhealth.hhs.gov/blackafrican-american-health" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stagnant population growth</a> of genocidal proportions.

Fair was the subject of a <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7dAQe1s5ZVka3hXLURodG1WQkU/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">complaint</a> filed by a colleague for “harassment, abuse, hate, and cyberbullying.”  After <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4069936/Georgetown-prof-C-Christine-Fair-went-meltdown-Muslim-ex-colleague-Asra-Q-Nomani-admitted-voting-Donald-Trump.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Asra Nomani</a>, who is Muslim, said she voted for Trump because of her problems with Obamacare, Fair went on a month-long rant against Nomani, including calling her various insulting names in her native Urdu, claiming Nomani had “pimped” herself out, as well as saying &#8220;F*** you.&#8221;
Fair is also known for her vulgar and carnal tweets directed at conservatives. During the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the fall of 2018, Fair <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=11369" target="_blank" rel="noopener">launched</a> into a racially tinged tirade on her <a href="https://twitter.com/CChristineFair?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> account, accusing Republicans of enabling a rapist and calling for their castration in a series of tweets, 
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">“Look at thus(sic) chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist’s arrogant entitlement.&#8221;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">”all of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps.&#8221;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">“Bonus: we castrate their corpse and feed them to swine? Yes.”</li>
</ul>
ANTI-LAW ENFORCEMENT
In 2018, Fair was <a href="https://thehoya.com/news/georgetown-professor-accused-calling-german-officer-nazi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in The Hoya article </a>“Georgetown Professor Accused of Calling German Officer a ‘Nazi.’” 
The publication explained, “The alleged confrontation occurred after an airport security agent pulled Fair aside and summoned a German police officer, as required by law after an X-ray machine at a security checkpoint indicated her luggage might contain explosives.”
It turns out the substances found in Fair’s bags — cosmetics and roll-on deodorant — had exceeded the amount permitted by law enforcement. The Hoya said, “After the police suggested Fair store a roll-on deodorant in her carry-on bag, the police report states Fair reacted aggressively and called the police ‘f–king bastards’ and ‘f–king Nazi police.’”
The Hoya recorded Fair’s response:
“‘The whole thing was a straight-up shakedown. At the end of the day, this officer just did not want a customer service complaint. If I were a white guy, this wouldn’t be happening to me. For example, the cop called me a hippie. Why am I of all people derided as a hippie?’”
Despite corroborating witness statements cited in the police report — as well as accusations that Fair said another passenger had a “Hitler Youth haircut” — Fair denied all allegations. 
After being detained by German police, the report said Fair was fined $260 in legal fees.
