<a href="https://www.ucsfbenioffchildrens.org/providers/diane-ehrensaft" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Diane Ehrensaft</a> is a Psychologist, Mental Health Director, and Gender Specialist at the University of California &#8211; San Francisco.
In 2016, Ehrensaft wrote a book titled “<a href="https://www.shopatmatter.com/product/the-gender-creative-child/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Gender Creative Child</a>” about transgenderism and some of the individuals – including minors – who she influenced to transition. In its first chapter, she writes about the concept of the “Gender Creative Child,” which she had coined in her previous book titled “Gender Born, Gender Made.” 
“While writing Gender Born, Gender Made, I conjured up the concept of the gender creative child–the child who weaves together nature, nurture, and culture in an infinite variety of ways to establish the gender that is ‘me’. That ‘me’ may be a boy, a girl, or a mélange of gender, and may not reflect the sex that was listed on the child’s birth certificate–or it could.”
She also responds to political commentator Laura Ingraham’s criticism of youth transgenderism from the years 2012 &#8211; 2014, and finishes her response with the following call to her audience:
“It is important for all of us to remember that in our efforts to create a gender creative life of all of us, the Laura Ingrahams of the world need to be either silenced or reeducated if we are to stop the flow of toxic messages to children that their gender expression is just foolish child’s play or attention getting behavior.”
Ehrensaft believes that children should be the main authority in their lives  when it comes to making gender decisions:
“Children are the experts of their own gender self, and, at most, we adults are their translators—striving to understand what they are telling us about their gender in words, actions, feelings, thoughts and relationships…we measure in stages not ages.”
In August, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/feminist-medical-school-professor-says-trans-kids-identifying-minotaurs-part-gender-revolution" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> reported that Ehrensaft recently promoted the idea of a “gender minotaur” in a lecture (see image below). This “gender minotaur” consists of one gender “on top” and another “on bottom” in a fashion similar to the Greek mythological figure.

<a href="https://profiles.ucsf.edu/jack.turban" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Jack Turban</a> is an Assistant Professor in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at The University of California, San Francisco. 

In addition to his teaching and commentary, Turban is the author of the textbook, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pediatric-Gender-Identity-Gender-affirming-Transgender/dp/3030389081" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pediatric Gender identity: Gender-Affirming Care for Transgender &amp; Gender Diverse Youth</a>.” According to the description, Turban outlines methods for gender-affirming care for pediatrics to follow. As stated on his <a href="https://www.jackturban.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal site</a>, Turban is a sought-after commentator and regularly appears in the New York Times and The Washington Post, amongst other publications.  

Dr. Turban’s biography describes his research as focused on the mental health of “transgender and gender diverse youth.” He’s advocated for gender transitions and puberty blockers for minors. He urges trans-men to compete in women’s sporting leagues, and accused his critics of being “anti-science.” 

In an article for the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220422201159/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/08/opinion/sunday/hannah-is-a-girl-doctors-finally-treat-her-like-one.html?searchResultPosition=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a>, Dr. Turban celebrates the transition of a 14-year-old boy named “Hannah.” Although acknowledging the teenager was born as a biological male, Dr. Turban claims that he is now living as his “true self.” 

Labeling puberty a “dangerous time for transgender youth,” Dr. Turban praises the use of cross-sex hormones. He claims that these drugs are easily reversible and Hannah may resume puberty whenever he wishes. 

“The puberty blocker is the first step. In the unlikely event that a child were to change her mind about being transgender, we could remove the implant, and she would then go through male puberty.

Even if the dosage is <a href="https://www.commonsense.news/p/top-trans-doctors-blow-the-whistle?s=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">halted mid-transition, children are still unable to undergo puberty.</a> Despite this, Dr. Turban advocates beginning cross-sex hormones on children as young as 14 to spare them the “stigma” of puberty.

In a tweet on his personal account, Turban claims that it is far more dangerous to allow teenagers to undergo puberty than to allow them to take hormones to halt it. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Puberty blockers (temporary, reversible) are more benign than going through a puberty that can’t be undone.
If you can’t see that, then you really need to reflect on your biases and whether you consider <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/trans?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#trans</a> people *at all* when you form your opinions.

— Jack Turban MD 🏳️‍⚧️🧠🏳️‍🌈 (@jack_turban) <a href="https://twitter.com/jack_turban/status/1514694985261617169?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">April 14, 2022</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Turban believes that parents who object to their child’s transition are reacting out of fear of “<a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23281683/trans-kids-transition-medicine-surgery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gender nonconformity.</a>” He goes so far as to accuse other critics of denying science due to their transphobia.

In an op-ed for CNN, titled, “<a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23281683/trans-kids-transition-medicine-surgery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Attacks on Trans People Are Also Attacks on Science Itself,” </a>Turban claims that trans people prove the science behind gender transition by “virtue of existing.” He writes that trans people are “natural manifestations of human diversity” whose expertise is invaluable to his field. 

Turban further claims there is little to no evidence that gender identity is determined by one’s genitalia or chromosomes. Rather, he writes that “our conscious brains” determine our gender and that is where our gender identity ultimately lies: 

As any trans person could tell you, we don’t need these [SIC] biological data to justify our humanity, but they do empirically defang anti-trans ideology. 

In an article for <a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23281683/trans-kids-transition-medicine-surgery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scientific American</a>, Turban continues to dismiss scientific evidence and advocates for trans-men to have the freedom to compete on female teams. Turban accuses critics of driving transgender athletes to anxiety, depression, and homelessness by excluding them from women’s teams. 

“(Transgender athletes) suffer from higher rates of bullying, anxiety and depression—all of which make it more difficult for them to train and compete. They also have high rights of homelessness and poverty because of common experiences of family rejection.”

In 2022, <a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23281683/trans-kids-transition-medicine-surgery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Review</a> reported that Turban’s work is indirectly funded by pharmaceutical companies that manufacture puberty blockers.

<a href="https://medicine.ucsf.edu/people/rupa-marya">Dr. Rupa Marya</a> is a Professor of Medicine at the University of California - San Francisco. Marya’s faculty profile states that her “work sits at the nexus of climate, health and racial justice.” Her research “explores the intersection of society and illness, including how social structures may predispose various groups to certain conditions.”

Since the recent developments of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in October 2023, Marya has openly expressed her support for Palestine on X. Marya, who is of Punjabi Indian descent, stated in a post that she sides with the Palestinians due to the prior “European invasion of [her ancestral] homeland” which (allegedly) “killed 100,000,000” of her “people.” Thus, she said she does not want to see history repeat itself in the same manner with the Palestinians. Because of this felt sympathy of experience between her ancestors and the Palestinians, Marya calls herself a Palestinian. (See post below). 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I’m not Palestinian. I’m Punjabi. But my ancestors survived European invasion of my homeland. They killed 100,000,000 of my people through colonial policies. And so I advocate for Palestine because I can’t stand by as history is repeated. In that way, I’m also Palestinian. 🙏🏾

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Marya believes in a one-state solution, with that state being Palestinian only: 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
It's time to talk about a ONE STATE solution. Where Palestinians and others live with equal rights. Where Palestinians can get their houses, farmland and olive groves back. Where Israelis can no longer torture, detain, oppress or murder with impunity.
— Rupa Marya, MD (@DrRupaMarya) <a href="https://twitter.com/DrRupaMarya/status/1723000625699422249?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 10, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Marya, as one involved in the medical industry, has also been vocal about people taking conventional preventative measures against COVID-19. In 2021, Marya posted on X that “Allowing unvaccinated people on flights is reckless endangerment of the public.” Accompanying this statement was a screenshot of Marya’s message to United Airlines about her experience on a flight where she sat next to an unvaccinated United worker who coughed throughout the flight. After the flight, Marya said that she became feverish, and even got the chills. (See post below).
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

As late as June of 2023, Marya boasted of a leopard-patterned mask she had worn on an airplane due to her belief that the COVID-19 pandemic is not over. She recommends mask usage indoors to protect the vulnerable as well. (See post below).

<a href="https://ourenvironment.berkeley.edu/users/1688049" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elizabeth Hoover</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). According to her university profile, her “research focuses on Native American environmental health and food sovereignty movements.” Hoover has also “published articles about food sovereignty, environmental reproductive justice in Native American communities, the cultural impact of fish advisories on Native communities, tribal citizen science, and health social movements.”
Since childhood, Hoover has identified as a descendant of the Mohawk and Mi’kmaq Indian tribes. However, according to <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=20572" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, she revealed that “she has no tribal connections after decades of claiming otherwise.” This discovery was based on “genealogical research.”
On her website, Hoover posted a <a href="https://www.profelizabethmhoover.com/identity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Statement about Identity”</a> providing her reaction to her genealogical discovery. In this short essay, she addresses her life experience under the assumption that she was a native. In the opening paragraphs, she provided background on her upbringing:  
“Our Native identity has structured not only our family activities but how we relate to other people and they to us. I have been a fancy shawl dancer and bead worker for over three decades, something my sisters and I learned at powwows when we were young, and this has brought us great joy. I have been grateful to the people of Akwesasne who took me in called me their chosen daughter, auntie, and friend, and who put me to work. When people told me ‘welcome home’ when I would come to visit, that meant something to me. In short, this identity has shaped my entire life and guided my work.”
Hoover concludes: 
“Now, without any official documentation verifying the identity I was raised with, I do not think it is right for me to continue to claim to be a scholar of Mohawk/Mi’kmaq descent, even though my mother is insistent that she inherited this history for a reason.”
According to <a href="https://dailycal.org/2022/11/01/campus-associate-professor-elizabeth-hoover-rescinds-claim-to-native-american-ancestry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Californian</a>, Hoover, who used to teach at Brown University, “has received criticism in light of her statement, with many coming forward to allege the harm she caused Native communities there, especially regarding a statement she wrote denouncing the Pokanoket Tribe’s calls for Land Back from Brown.”
“UC Berkeley considers the issue of Hoover’s ethnic identity to be a ‘deeply personal matter,’ according to a campus statement provided by campus spokesperson Janet Gilmore.” The college does not “consider race or tribal identity in making employment decisions, in light of allegations that Hoover was a part of a “cluster hire.”

<a href="https://ethnicstudies.berkeley.edu/people/hatem-bazian/">Hatem Bazian</a> is a professor of Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the <a href="https://zaytuna.edu/academics/faculty/hatem-bazian">co-founder and assistant professor </a>at Zaytuna College, which is the only accredited American college in which the curriculum is based on Islamic fundamentals. Bazian’s resume is littered with antisemitic and pro-terror incidents, both on and off-campus.

When attending San Francisco State University, Bazian accused the student newspaper of being <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/19590/profiles-in-hate-hatem-bazian">infiltrated by “Jewish spies</a>,” and allegedly denied Jewish students jobs while serving as Student Body President, claiming their support of Israel exhibited their racism.

Bazian’s activism grew more militant with time. At an Islamic conference in 1999, he was quoted by the Detroit Free Press reciting an Islamic Hadith <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/8865/hatem-bazian-personal-story">calling for the slaughter of Jews</a>.
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2093" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-05-27T110304.469-e1653674626458-1024x506.png" alt="" width="450" height="223" />
After 79 members of Students for Justice in Palestine were arrested for disrupting a Holocaust memorial, Bazian asserted that the university's actions were racially motivated. During the subsequently organized protests, Bazain <a href="https://www.jweekly.com/2018/10/22/berkeley-city-councils-shameful-tolerance-of-anti-semitism/">insinuated that powerful Jews controlled the University and orchestrated the arrests</a>.

Bazian’s thinly veiled antisemitism is seamlessly <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Hatem_Bazian">interlaced with his anti-Israel demagoguery</a>. A proponent of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement,  Bazian has called for the dismantlement of the state of Israel and has praised the terrorist group Hamas. Bazian <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mfv5yaKxNgo&amp;ab_channel=HamasOnCampus">openly called for a domestic insurrection</a> within America. Calling the crowd to arms at a 2003 anti-war rally, Bazian called for an “Intifada” to start in America.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2094" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-05-27T110636.459-e1653674828851-1024x532.png" alt="" width="450" height="234" />

The Intifada was then in the midst of its third year of blood-soaked carnage in Israel. Before it abated in 2006, <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/comprehensive-listing-of-terrorism-victims-in-israel">over one thousand men, women, and children would perish</a> from sniper fire and suicide attacks on buses, markets, and restaurants. The most gruesome attacks included the <a href="https://www.algemeiner.com/2020/10/26/what-the-ramallah-lynchings-taught-us-about-palestinian-incitement/">public lynching and disembowelment of two Israeli soldiers</a>, and the <a href="https://www.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/18-years-after-sbarro-suicide-attack-pa-has-paid-910823-to-the-culprits-598106">bombing of a Sbarro pizzeria</a>, killing 15 civilians, including 7 children and a pregnant woman.

Extending to the classroom and beyond, Bazian has co-founded two anti-Israel groups: <a href="https://canarymission.org/organization/SJP">Students for Justice in Palestine</a> (SJP), and American Muslims for Palestine (AMP).

Bazian co-founded SJP with fellow professor <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/snehalshingavi">Snehal Shingavi</a> in 2001 in solidarity with Palestinian groups, as the Intifada raged in Israel. The group is known for its belligerent tactics and hostility towards Jewish and pro-Israel students on campus. SJP openly calls for the destruction of Israel and has never been shy about their support for Hamas. <a href="https://canarymission.org/individual/Azka_Fayyaz">A student senator and member of SJP</a> at UC Davis <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/new-film-depicts-jewish-students-growing-insecurity-on-campus/">welcomed “Hamas and sharia law"</a> to campus.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SF2qAJl65k&amp;ab_channel=CanaryMission">American Muslims for Palestine</a>, of which Bazian serves as Chairman, is rooted in the now-defunct Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP). Facing scrutiny by the federal government over its ties to overseas jihadist groups, IAP ceased operations in 2003 to avoid prosecution. Many of the staff then <a href="https://docs.house.gov/meetings/FA/FA18/20160419/104817/HHRG-114-FA18-Wstate-SchanzerJ-20160419.pdf">reconstituted under the new banner of AMP with Bazian as Chairman</a>. Screenshots from IAP’s former website show that the group openly encouraged Islamic terrorism and what can only be described as ethnic cleansing of Jews.

Bazian is a tenured professor at one of the world’s most prestigious colleges. Tens of thousands of students have passed through his classroom while accruing many thousands more in debt, over his many decades in academia. His radicalism isn’t hidden—Bazian has openly embraced and preached the most radical, violent, and bigoted positions imaginable and sought to inspire future leaders with those same values.

A previous edition that attributed a quote to Hatem Bazian has been corrected and attributed to an article hosted on the IAP website in December, 2000

<a href="https://www.law.berkeley.edu/our-faculty/faculty-profiles/john-powell/">John A. Powell</a> is a Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley. During a<a href="http://www.whiteprivilegeconference.com/"> White Privilege Conference</a>, Powell was caught on film saying that the Bush Administration deliberately took money away from strengthening the levees during Hurricane Katrina because the levees were protecting black people.

Anti-Second Amendment 
Immediately following the Pulse nightclub shooting, in which a Muslim man who pledged allegiance to ISIS <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/multiple-injuries-shooting-orlando-nightclub-police/story?id=39789552">entered Pulse, a gay nightclub, and opened fire, killing 50 individuals</a>, Scheper-Hughes <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160621134259/http://blogs.berkeley.edu/2016/06/19/radical-evil-a-reflection-on-the-orlando-massacre/">published</a> an article on the Berkeley Blog, a university website, to reflect on the events of the previous evening, titled, Radical evil: A reflection on the Orlando massacre.

In her article, Hughes <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160621134259/http://blogs.berkeley.edu/2016/06/19/radical-evil-a-reflection-on-the-orlando-massacre/">describes</a> the Pulse nightclub as a “sacred space” that was attacked by a man she describes as “radically evil.” However, she then blames the killings on hate speech of the “trumpers'' and the <a href="https://home.nra.org/">National Rifle Association</a>.

Referring to the Second Amendment in the post, Scheper-Hughes <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160621134259/http://blogs.berkeley.edu/2016/06/19/radical-evil-a-reflection-on-the-orlando-massacre/">states</a> that we have “failed as a democracy” to let “one amendment trump” all other amendments, leading to killings like the one in Orlando. She alleges that massacres throughout American history are typically committed by “orthodox conservatives” that suffer from a "perversity of heart."

Censorship
In mid-2017, the Berkely College Republicans <a href="https://twitter.com/BerkeleyCRs/status/884816647546064896">announced</a> on the group's Twitter account that they would host popular commentator Ben Shapiro. In an article for the website, CounterPunch, Scheper-Hughes <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/09/13/the-great-wall-of-uc-berkeley-vs-baby-face-shapiro/">decries</a> the decision to host Shapiro at the university, describing him as a “smart aleck, wisecracking, racist, sexist, misogynist, Islamophobic jerk.” She goes on to describe Shapiro as a “very dangerous, extremely controversial, physical threat” to Berkeley’s student body.

Scheper-Hughes further <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/09/13/the-great-wall-of-uc-berkeley-vs-baby-face-shapiro/">describes</a> Ben Shapiro in her article as a member of the “alt-light” that engages in hate speech. Hughes states that the First Amendment is a “work in progress” and that the amendment is “ignorant” and inadequately able to combat “hate speech.”

<img class="wp-image-1274 size-large aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-04-09T095657.035-e1617987455517-1024x299.png" alt="" width="580" height="169" />

While acknowledging that the university is “stuck” with the protections that the First Amendment affords Ben Shapiro, Scheper-Hughes implies that free speech can be regulated to ban hate speech.

The Professor Watchlist team reached out to Scheper-Hughes for comment but has not received a reply by the time of publication.

<a href="https://ethnicstudies.berkeley.edu/people/ramon-grosfoguel-1/">Ramon Grosfoguel</a> is an associate professor of Chicano and Latino Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. According to his university biography, Grosfoguel also specializes in decoloniality and the study of Islamophobia.

Grosfoguel is notable for his vocal opposition to the state of Israel and support for BDS. In an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu1PCTNGgB8&amp;ab_channel=IHRCtv">interview</a> with the Islamic Human Rights Commission during Al-Quds Day (an <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/on-quds-day-irans-leader-says-zionism-a-virus-that-must-be-eliminated/">Iranian holiday</a> dedicated to the destruction of Israel) not only did he claim that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians, but that Israel is a threat to peace across the world. Grosfoguel claimed that Israel is infiltrating nations and aligning itself with openly fascist organizations in order to strangle freedom of speech.

Grosfoguel also claims that Jews <a href="https://www.okcir.com/Articles%20VII%202/Grosfoguel-FM.pdf">cynically use the Holocaust</a> to elicit sympathy from the world in order to commit atrocities against Arabs;

“The simplistic identity politics of the Holocaust hegemonic narrative that essentialized Jewish identity as homogenous eternal victims and always intentionally innocent ended with Gaza.”   

“These simplistic and reductionist narratives about the Holocaust and Jewish identity were exploited by the Zionists for the last 60 years to legitimate their fundamentalist Jewish state built upon the practices and methods of settler colonialism against the Palestinians.”                  

“Hitlerism as a continuation of colonial racist ideology came back to hunt Palestinians this time at the hands of European Jews who ironically were escaping from the Nazi Holocaust.” 

“...the Holocaust was always manipulated, abused, and institutionalized by the Israeli settler colonialist state from its foundation in 1948 until today to justify its colonial domination, expansion, and terror.”

Grosfoguel specializes in anti-colonial rhetoric. Rather than a past vestige, Grosfoguel maintains that colonialism is an ongoing attempt by Western nations—particularly Israel and the United States, to maintain dominance throughout the world. Grosfoguel lectures that the capitalistic, Christian-centered West is able to bleed poorer nations dry to maintain their wealth. He claims that Christianity itself has given rise to genocides around the world, as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z8ISZolAMw&amp;ab_channel=IHRCtv=2m4s">“pre-modern” societies were far more peaceful</a> than modern, Western nations.

To Grosfoguel, the concept of human rights is a Western farce that is used to justify foreign invasions. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7jFaJf-aVE&amp;ab_channel=IHRCtv=9m46s">He has claimed</a> that America is a “rogue state” that has murdered upwards of 70 million people.

“Here comes the quintessential rogue state in the world, USA, calling other nations rogue states….This is really amazing, because this country, the last 60 years, has killed more than 70 million people.”  

In the same lecture, he held nothing back when grotesquely claiming that former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7jFaJf-aVE&amp;ab_channel=IHRCtv=7m0s">should have been put to death</a> alongside Sadam Hussein for his crimes as an imperialist:

“So Donald Rumsfield should have been sitting alongside Sadam Hussein and been judged, ok? And been hanged together with him.”  

Grosfoguel travels frequently to speak about his views on decolonization and is renowned among the Left for his views on the subject. In 2018, he was invited to deliver <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pwX2ZQl0C0&amp;t=3173s&amp;ab_channel=LuiginoBracciRoa-Situaci%C3%B3nenVenezuela">opening remarks</a> addressing this topic at a Caracas-based conference hosted by Nicholas Maduro. Grosfoguel was well received at the conference and can be seen warmly greeting the dictator below.

<a href="https://ethnicstudies.berkeley.edu/people/keith-feldman-1/">Keith Feldman</a> is a head graduate advisor and an associate professor of Comparative Ethnic Studies at the University of California-Berkeley.

Speaking before the Berkeley-based conference Critical Discourses on Islamophobia, Feldman reserved most of his speech to criticize Barack Obama for killing jihadists. Labeling the administration’s <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/20132/uc-berkeley-and-the-islamophobia-lobby">use of drones to eliminate terrorists as Islamaphobic</a>—or what he termed as “racialization from above—he asked, “What happens when Islamophobia takes to the skies?”

Feldman compared the death of Osama bin Laden to a Jim Crow-era lynching. As he was describing his killing as the “residue of late nineteenth-century colonial settler violence,” Feldman <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/20132/uc-berkeley-and-the-islamophobia-lobby">displayed a black lynching victim in the background to serve as an analogy to his death.</a>

In 2015 while discussing his book, <a href="https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/a-shadow-over-palestine">A Shadow Over Palestine</a>, he claimed that <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/22864/berkeley-prof-race-in-america-is-like-occupation">American ghettos are akin to the Warsaw ghetto</a> during the Holocaust, which itself is akin to modern-day Palestinian refugee camps.

Feldman’s book praises the <a href="https://www.meforum.org/7244/a-radical-romance-with-the-palestinians">United World Conference Against Racism</a> held in Durban, South Africa. <a href="https://www.jpost.com/opinion/op-ed-contributors/durban-and-911-ten-years-later">The gathering is notorious for its antisemitism</a>, with vendors <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/durban-i-un-conference-against-racism-2001">selling the conspiratorial</a> ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zion’ and displaying banners that read ‘What if Hitler Had Won?’ Feldman praises this conference for uniting “hundreds” of NGOs to declare that “Zionism is racism.”

<a href="https://gse.berkeley.edu/zeus-leonardo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Zeus Leonardo</a> is a Professor in the<a href="https://gse.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Graduate School of Education</a> at the University of <a href="https://www.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California-Berkeley</a>. According to his university profile, Dr. Leonardo’s courses include: “Race, Whiteness Studies, and Education” and “Proseminar: Social Critique of Education.” Much of Dr. Leonardo’s work utilizes critical race theory to analyze areas such as race, class, culture, and gender in education.

Dr. Leonardo is also listed as an Affiliated Faculty Member of the Critical Theory Designated Emphasis at UC Berkeley. As part of the Graduate School of Education, the program explores the “<a href="https://gse.berkeley.edu/academics/ma-and-phd-programs/critical-studies-race-class-and-gender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">root causes and effects of white supremacy and settler colonialism in education</a>,” according to the official website.

Upon completion, those enrolled will earn a certification of “Designated Emphasis and Specialization in Critical Theory.” The university flaunts critical theory’s association with the Frankfurt School of Economics on its website. The Frankfurt School of Economics was <a href="https://www.heritage.org/sites/default/files/2020-12/BG3567.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">composed of openly Marxist economists whose writings eventually formed the basis for critical race theory</a>.

<a href="http://criticaltheory.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The page prominently hosts a picture of Angela Davis</a> alongside the post-modernist, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/herbert-marcuse-the-philosopher-behind-the-ideology-of-the-anti-fascists/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Herbert Marcuse</a>. Davis was a member of the Leninist-Black Panther Party as well as the <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/topten-history/hires_images/FBI-309-AngelaYvonneDavis.jpg/viewhttps://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/topten-history/hires_images/FBI-309-AngelaYvonneDavis.jpg/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives</a> list for her role in the shooting deaths of four during the Marin County Civic Center Attacks.

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.

Dr. Leonardo has additionally published a number of other articles on critical race theory, race, and education. These include titles such as, “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/23793406.2016.1167111?journalCode=rree20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tropics of Whiteness</a>,” “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01596306.2013.822624" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Story of Schooling: Critical Theory and the Educational Racial Contract</a>,” and, “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13613320120117180" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Souls of White Folk</a>.” Another is titled, “<a href="https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9780203880371/race-whiteness-education-zeus-leonardo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race, Whiteness, and Education</a>,” in which he affirms the “central role” racism plays in society.

Dr. Leonardo declares racism to be systematic rather than based on individuals and must be addressed as such. He outlines the paper’s intent to interrupt this “dangerous” assertion in order to confront “whiteness” and racism in education. Further, in the same paper, Dr. Leonardo advocates the blending of Marxism and whiteness studies to understand racism. He then addresses the “myth” that whites do not think of themselves exclusively along with racial terms and that capitalism has spread “whiteness” across the globe.

In a separate lecture, Dr. Leonardo lauds critical race theory in even more explicit terms. In a lecture titled, “Who is afraid of CRT?” hosted at George Washington University, the event was <a href="https://gwtoday.gwu.edu/who%E2%80%99s-afraid-critical-race-theory-and-what-exactly-it-anyway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">marketed as an examination of “critical race theory, marxism, and whiteness studies</a>”.

In the lecture, Dr. Leonardo states the intent of his work in whiteness studies is to solve the problem of “whiteness” itself.

“In whiteness studies, whiteness is  the problem to be posed, if not solved.”

In another clip–captured by the Twitter user, <a href="https://twitter.com/MythinformedMKE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mythinformed MYKE</a>—Dr. Leonardo states, “whites are not born white,” rather, they are “abused’ by their white parents and raised that way.

She has further claimed that men can give birth and has refused to say whether unborn babies are worthy of dignity.

Dr. Bridges condemned the Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.—<a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/19-1392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dobbs V. Jackson Women’s Health Organization</a>—as an <a href="https://news.berkeley.edu/2022/06/24/khiara-m-bridges-court-abortion-ruling-is-an-assault-on-women-and-democracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“assault” against both women and democracy.</a> Dr. Bridges further alleged that <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/video/californians-express-outrage-over-roe-163817289.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banning abortion is a form of racism</a>:

“When you have a law that makes abortion unavailable, you have a law that makes unavailable a service upon which Black people disproportionately rely, so there’s a specific racial impact.”

Since the 1973 ruling, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/since-roe-abortion-has-killed-more-black-babies-than-the-entire-black-population-of-the-u-s-in-1960" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an estimated 20 million black children have been murdered via abortion</a>.

During her testimony, Dr. Bridges referenced “persons with the capacity for pregnancy” when speaking about individuals who sought abortions. When questioned by Senator Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) if she was referring to pregnant women, Dr. Bridges replied that she was referring to all “cis-women, trans-men, and non-binary people.”

When further pressed if abortion is a women’s rights issue, Dr. Bridges accused Hawley of asking questions that exposed “trans people to violence.”

Dr. Bridges then asked Hawley if he believes that men can become pregnant. Astonished, Hawley replied, “No, I don’t think men can get pregnant,” she further accused him of denying that trans people exist.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Hawley: Why are you using the term "person with a capacity for pregnancy" instead of "woman?"

<a href="https://english.berkeley.edu/profiles/386" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grace Lavery</a> is an Associate Professor for the English program at the University of California, Berkeley. His academic specialties are 19th-century British literature, Critical Theory, Cultural Studies, and Gender and Sexuality Studies. He is a transgender professor who “transitioned” in 2018. He claims his “work in trans feminist studies is… focused on the belief that transition works; that it is truly possible to change sex.”

In February of 2022 <a href="https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/professor-suspended-twitter-hopes-queen-dies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lavery was suspended from Twitter</a> for tweeting “I hope the queen dies,” a few days after Queen Elizabeth II tested positive for Covid-19. He even tagged the British government in the tweet. Lavery <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10542993/Berkeley-professor-suspended-Twitter-tweeting-hopes-COVID-stricken-Queen-DIES.html?ito=social-twitter_dailymailUK" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told the Daily Mail</a>: ​​“I do not think they [Twitter] should ban people for hoping that public figures die, whether the person in question is Elizabeth Windsor, Donald Trump, or Jeremy Corbyn.” Since his suspension, Lavery has no longer been active on Twitter. 

<a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=19010" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a> reported that Lavery tweeted the following statement on January 29, 2022: “i [sic] think that everyone is secretly as much of a pervert as we are, and we’ll win because of it.” Since Lavery’s Twitter account has been suspended, none of his tweets can be accessed. 

On the following day Lavery tweeted “i [sic] think we should seize all private property, so there’ll be nowhere for you adults to try your naughty little spanks except in the gutter with the rest of us… 3. Senile elderly woman masturbating surreptitiously during mass,” among several other explicit tweets. 

Lavery wrote the book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Please-Miss-Heartbreaking-Staggering-Penis/dp/1541620658" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Please Miss: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Penis”</a>, which was released in February of 2022. The Amazon description for the book states:
“Grace Lavery is a reformed druggie, an unreformed omnisexual chaos Muppet, and 100 percent, all-natural, synthetic female hormone monster. As soon as she solves her “penis problem,” she begins receiving anonymous letters, seemingly sent by a cult of sinister clowns, and sets out on a magical mystery tour to find the source of these surreal missives…”

<a href="https://africam.berkeley.edu/people/spring-2022-lecturer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Peace and Love El Henson</a> is a Lecturer and Black Studies Collaboratory Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley. According to her university biography, El Henson “primarily focuses on black queer femmes, state violence, pornography, and ethnography.” 

El Henson’s research is twofold:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“The first uses black femmes’ theatrical performances from online interracial pornography to read real-life state policing encounters and vice versa.” El Henson’s goal  is to “denude the unconscious racialized pornographic BDSM (Bondage and Discipline/Domination and Submission/Sadism and Masochism/Sadomasochism) structured into interracial relations across sites of chattel slavery, professional pornography, public schools, universities, neighborhoods, and beyond.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Her second area of research “offers ethnographic case studies on black femmes who use erotic performance as a mode of survival, artistry, and pleasure amid genocide of low-income black neighborhoods in Oakland, CA.”</li>
</ul>
Dr. El Henson wrote a report in 2017 when she was in Graduate School at the University of Texas, Austin which she titled, <a href="https://repositories.lib.utexas.edu/bitstream/handle/2152/63533/ELHENSON-MASTERSREPORT-2017.pdf?sequence=1&amp;isAllowed=y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Scenes of Subjection’ &amp; Subjectivity: Punishment, Torture, Captivity, Annihilation and Genocide of (Queer) Black Girls and Women in the ‘Afterlife of Slavery.’”</a> In the abstract, El Henson wrote that she explores: “the punishment, torture, captivity, annihilation and ultimate genocide black girls and women are subjected to by white supremacist, antiblack, hetero-patriarchal, hetero-sexist, and heteronormative school staff, police and state forces in public schools and beyond.”

In the report, El Henson claims that there has been an “antiblack genocide in the United States” throughout the country’s history. 

El Henson uses the term “queer” to describe black girls, black women, and black people “as a modifier to signify black communities who embody a range of gender identities, performances and sexualities in and out of U.S. black and white socially accepted norms—as classification of norm fluctuates by social group. This means that these terms can embody a range of black people who are bisexual, asexual, lesbian, transgender, heterosexual and more.”

In the report’s introduction, El Henson relates an experience she had when volunteering at her “old middle school in a hood of Oakland, CA.” A female student named Myra was dismissed from a class with a referral because her shirt was “too distracting and inappropriate.” Myra responded to the teacher, who was a man, by saying “F*** you,” whereupon she left the classroom. El Henson claims the teacher gave her a referral because he “could not resist over-sexualizing young black girls bodies,” and also due to his “perversions” and “[h]is uncontrollable sexual desire and arousal for a black girl” which “was ‘inappropriate’ and the true distraction to the classroom space.” However, she provides no evidence indicating that the teacher felt the way that she describes him to have felt. 

<a href="https://ktla.com/news/california/uc-berkeley-to-offer-a-nicki-minaj-course-for-spring-semester/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to KTLA,</a> for the Spring semester of 2023, Dr. El Henson will teach a course entitled “AAS 140.2: Nicki Minaj: The Black Barbie Femmecee &amp; Hip Hop Feminisms.” El Henson says that the course will address the influence Minaj has had on the hip-hop industry and how it relates to the “broader historical-social structures and hip-hop feminisms.” However, KTLA reports the course is still being evaluated by the university’s administration. On a Twitter thread about the course, Nicki Minaj <a href="https://twitter.com/dr_peaceandlove/status/1578191853433761794" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a>, “I’d love to stop by [the class].”

<a href="https://ourenvironment.berkeley.edu/users/1688049" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elizabeth Hoover</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). According to her university profile, her “research focuses on Native American environmental health and food sovereignty movements.” Hoover has also “published articles about food sovereignty, environmental reproductive justice in Native American communities, the cultural impact of fish advisories on Native communities, tribal citizen science, and health social movements.”

Since childhood, Hoover has identified as a descendant of the Mohawk and Mi’kmaq Indian tribes. However, according to <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=20572" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, she revealed that “she has no tribal connections after decades of claiming otherwise.” This discovery was based on “genealogical research.”

On her website, Hoover posted a <a href="https://www.profelizabethmhoover.com/identity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Statement about Identity”</a> providing her reaction to her genealogical discovery. In this short essay, she addresses her life experience under the assumption that she was a native. In the opening paragraphs, she provided background on her upbringing:  
“Our Native identity has structured not only our family activities but how we relate to other people and they to us. I have been a fancy shawl dancer and bead worker for over three decades, something my sisters and I learned at powwows when we were young, and this has brought us great joy. I have been grateful to the people of Akwesasne who took me in called me their chosen daughter, auntie, and friend, and who put me to work. When people told me ‘welcome home’ when I would come to visit, that meant something to me. In short, this identity has shaped my entire life and guided my work.”
Hoover concludes: 
“Now, without any official documentation verifying the identity I was raised with, I do not think it is right for me to continue to claim to be a scholar of Mohawk/Mi’kmaq descent, even though my mother is insistent that she inherited this history for a reason.”
According to <a href="https://dailycal.org/2022/11/01/campus-associate-professor-elizabeth-hoover-rescinds-claim-to-native-american-ancestry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Californian</a>, Hoover, who used to teach at Brown University, “has received criticism in light of her statement, with many coming forward to allege the harm she caused Native communities there, especially regarding a statement she wrote denouncing the Pokanoket Tribe’s calls for Land Back from Brown.”

“UC Berkeley considers the issue of Hoover’s ethnic identity to be a ‘deeply personal matter,’ according to a campus statement provided by campus spokesperson Janet Gilmore.” The college does not “consider race or tribal identity in making employment decisions, in light of allegations that Hoover was a part of a “cluster hire.”

Chesa Boudin previously held the position of the 29th District Attorney for San Francisco. He is now the <a href="https://www.law.berkeley.edu/article/chesa-boudin-brings-lifetime-of-experience-to-lead-new-criminal-law-justice-center/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Executive Director of Berkeley Law’s Criminal Law and Justice Center.</a>

Chesa Boudin has been outspoken about how he believes that the prison system is set up to be disadvantageous towards minorities. According to <a href="https://www.law.berkeley.edu/article/chesa-boudin-brings-lifetime-of-experience-to-lead-new-criminal-law-justice-center/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Berkeley Law’s website</a>, “Chesa understands that mass incarceration and privatized prisons disproportionately harm people of color and reflect the institutional inequities of America’s legal system.” These ideas of legal institutions like prisons being systemically unfair towards people of color, and that a major focus needs to be put on fixing that, is what Boudin plans on bringing to the students that he will be teaching at Berkeley Law School.

The website also quotes Illinois State’s Attorney Kim Foxx who states that Chesa Boudin “knows that criminalizing poverty and homelessness entrenches racist policies and power structures, and that this approach fails to uphold the values of equal rights and due process we supposedly hold dear.” One of Boudin’s goals that is outlined in Berkeley’s announcement is that he plans to bring people once incarcerated into the Berkeley Law’s Criminal Law and Justice Center. 

Before he was elected as District Attorney, Chesa Boudin told the <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/local-politics/article/What-s-the-answer-to-quality-of-life-crimes-in-14563426.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">San Francisco Chronicle</a>, “We will not prosecute cases involving quality-of-life crimes. Crimes such as public camping, offering or soliciting sex, public urination, blocking a sidewalk, etc., should not and will not be prosecuted.” Rising local crime rates due to Boudin’s efforts to not prosecute these crimes are what led to outcry from residents asking for his recall.

The <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2022/fixing-san-francisco-problems/crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">San Francisco Chronicle</a> reports that in 2020—Chesa Boudin’s first year in office—property crimes skyrocketed, “with more than 4,400 incidents of property crime per 100,000 residents.” In this same report, 23% of residents stated that safety and crime was the biggest problem in the city while 39% stated homelessness as the city’s biggest issue. 

Additionally, the <a href="https://sfchamber.com/press-release-citybeat21/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">San Francisco Chamber of Commerce</a> released a 2021 poll where “eight out of ten San Franciscans consider crime to have worsened in recent years” and around 70% of San Francisco residents believe that their quality of life has decreased significantly. Nonetheless, UC Berkeley has placed Chesa Boudin in charge of Berkeley Law School’s Criminal Law and Justice Center where he will be teaching students about the criminal legal system. 

<a href="https://nypost.com/2022/06/06/san-franciscos-da-chesa-boudin-faces-possible-recall-vote/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Post</a> reports that Chesa Boudin was recalled due to his ‘soft on crime’ policies that led to prosecutors being unable to “seek cash bail, try juveniles as adults or seek lengthy prison sentences for offenders with gang affiliations.” When confronted with the possibility of recall, Boudin told the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/crime-government-and-politics-san-francisco-seniors-c865bc8fa7006fb806b6e5b639f64857" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a> that San Francisco residents were frustrated and angry “at the Trump administration and misinformation that administration fueled on everything from public safety to vaccines.” 

Boudin did not hold himself accountable for the complaints of the residents and instead blamed the Trump administration for the chaos that was occurring in the city. He was successfully recalled on June 7, 2022 and was unable to serve the remainder of his term as the 29th District Attorney for San Francisco.

“Students can now attend any local event they wish—such as a book talk or a panel discussion—related to the course’s subject, including the protest…or they can watch any documentary they wish about the Middle East.” 
“As soon as the administration was made aware of the assignment it moved quickly to ensure that it would be changed. The situation has been remedied, the assignment has been changed and there are now a number of options for extra credit, not just one.”

<a href="https://www.berkeley.edu/about/">Ian Kivelin Davis</a> is a Faculty Advisor for the Media Studies Department at the University of California, Berkeley.

In a 2016 article for <a href="https://medium.com/media-in-the-middle/news-flash-the-new-york-times-thinks-trump-is-beneath-america-daae02b7eca7">Medium</a> about President Donald Trump and racism in America, Davis wrote:
“Trump did not invent racism. He is just packaging it in a way white, middle-class people can see . . . not unlike cell phones now capture, for white America, the systemic oppression black Americans experience at the hands of our lauded and praised police force. The difference is that white America now has to look at it on their television screens and Facebook posts of distant relatives. Oh, lament white America! Your poor eyes and refined sensibilities must be strained.”
The main theme of the article is that, while Trump is allegedly an “enabler” of racism in the U.S., racism has always existed in spite of Trump’s Presidency:
“Trump marvelers seem to wring hands over the Donald as an enabler or facilitator of American racism. True, but this journalism trope misses a key point. These sentiments preexisted Trump.” 
In 2021, Davis wrote an <a href="https://www.academia.edu/45522395/Capitol_Riots_and_the_Mythic_Meaning_of_1776">article</a> for Academia Letters titled "Capitol Riots and the Mythical Meaning of 1776." 

In the article, Davis likens the January 6th protesters to the American revolutionaries of 1776 in a manner that is meant to trivialize the former and mythologize the latter. Believing them to have attempted a revolution, Davis calls the Capitol protesters “Tourist Revolutionaries.”
“Tourist Revolutionaries on display during the Trump riot were engaging in a symbolic act that reenacts a mythical history of the country… January 6th was a genteel, candy-coated revolution, closer to carnival than coup...”
Davis considers the tyranny that led the American revolutionaries to revolt against the British monarch to have been unjustly compared with the outcome of the 2020 Presidential election by the protesters. 
“Tourist Revolutionaries, energized by the symbolism of ‘1776,’ confuse the tyranny of the monarch King George with the compromises of democracy and shared self-governance with fellow Americans.”
For Davis,  the protesters were misled and were seeking to subvert “electoral democracy” on behalf of President Trump:
“This was a symbolic act for a substantial number of Trump supporters who were misled by President Trump to believe they were ﬁghting for the preservation of America rather than the subversion of electoral democracy to prop up the president’s personal ambitions.”

<a href="https://ccj.fiu.edu/people/faculty/besiki-luka-kutateladze/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Besiki Luka Kutateladze</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice. He is the founder and manager of <a href="https://prosecutorialperformanceindicators.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prosecutorial Performance Indicators</a>, a group advocating prosecutorial reform and the reduction of ethnic disparities in the criminal justice system.
According to Kutateladze’s biography, his areas of expertise include “prosecution, racial justice, and equality and rule of law.” His CV further claims that he’s raised over <a href="https://ccj.fiu.edu/people/faculty/besiki-luka-kutateladze/b-l-kutateladze-cv-20221.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">21 million dollars of research funds</a> from organizations like the <a href="https://www.macfound.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MacArthur Foundation</a>, <a href="https://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Rockefeller Foundation</a>, and the <a href="https://charleskochfoundation.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charles Koch Foundation</a>. 
As a co-author of, “<a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/608088231/Internalized-racism-to-blame-for-black-prosecutors-treatment-of-black-criminals-study#download" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Is Internalized Racism One More Piece of the Puzzle in Racial Disparities in Prosecution?</a>”, Kutateladze argues that black prosecutors recommend harsher sentences towards black and Asian defendants because of their own internalized racism.  
The study itself only interviewed a small sample size. Kutateladze’s research instead utilizes Internalized Racism Theory (IRT) to reach its conclusion, which is an <a href="https://scholarworks.sjsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1000&amp;context=elementary_ed_pub" target="_blank" rel="noopener">offshoot of critical race studies</a>. Scholars define IRT as “the conscious and unconscious acceptance of a racial hierarchy where whites are consistently ranked above People of Color.”
Kutateladze further defines internalized racism as “a racist system when a racial group oppressed by racism supports the supremacy and dominance of the dominating group by maintaining or participating in the set of attitudes, behaviors, social structures, and ideologies that undergird the dominating group’s power.” Minority prosecutors, he argues, will adopt the behavior of their racist, white colleagues to advance in their careers. 
To avoid accusations of bias toward their race, Kutateladze claims that black prosecutors will “overcompensate” by leveling harsher sentences to black and Hispanic defendants. This allows them to operate in a field “dominated by white managers and historically racist policies.” 
Kutateladze concludes that after prosecutorial offices hire and promote ethnically diverse prosecutors, they will no longer harbor “negative perceptions of their race and blackness.”

As a co-author of, “<a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/608088231/Internalized-racism-to-blame-for-black-prosecutors-treatment-of-black-criminals-study#download" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Is Internalized Racism One More Piece of the Puzzle in Racial Disparities in Prosecution?</a>”, Kutateladze argues that black prosecutors recommend harsher sentences towards black and Asian defendants because of their own internalized racism.  

The study itself only interviewed a small sample size. Kutateladze’s research instead utilizes Internalized Racism Theory (IRT) to reach its conclusion, which is an <a href="https://scholarworks.sjsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1000&amp;context=elementary_ed_pub" target="_blank" rel="noopener">offshoot of critical race studies</a>. Scholars define IRT as “the conscious and unconscious acceptance of a racial hierarchy where whites are consistently ranked above People of Color.”

Kutateladze further defines internalized racism as “a racist system when a racial group oppressed by racism supports the supremacy and dominance of the dominating group by maintaining or participating in the set of attitudes, behaviors, social structures, and ideologies that undergird the dominating group’s power.” Minority prosecutors, he argues, will adopt the behavior of their racist, white colleagues to advance in their careers. 

To avoid accusations of bias toward their race, Kutateladze claims that black prosecutors will “overcompensate” by leveling harsher sentences to black and Hispanic defendants. This allows them to operate in a field “dominated by white managers and historically racist policies.” 

Kutateladze concludes that after prosecutorial offices hire and promote ethnically diverse prosecutors, they will no longer harbor “negative perceptions of their race and blackness.”

Arizona State University Professor David Boyles—who <a href="https://angelictroublemakers.substack.com/p/queer-joy-summer-planting-3-promote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>, “Sex education is a topic I’ve been obsessed with for a while”—appeared to physically assault a Turning Point USA Frontlines cameraman.  

TPUSA’s Frontlines team confronted Boyles after <a href="https://azfreenews.com/2023/09/meet-the-asu-professor-behind-arizonas-drag-queen-story-hour/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">learning</a> that he founded the Arizona chapter of Drag Queen Story Hour. Boyles refused to respond to the Frontlines reporter who asked how long he’d had the obsession with sex education and why he felt children should be exposed to drag queens.

The video of Boyles assaulting the cameraman can be viewed below:

In the “Queer Sex Ed” blog, Boyles also wrote that sex education has been traditionally racist since “black people and immigrants were typically viewed as being sexually promiscuous and aggressive and sex education was designed to keep good white kids from being ‘infected’ by them.”

<a href="https://cronkite.asu.edu/about/faculty-and-leadership/faculty/gilgerbio">Kristin Gilger</a> is the Reynolds Professor of Business Journalism and the interim dean at the Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University (ASU). She is the author of the book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Theres-No-Crying-Newsrooms-Learned/dp/1538121492">“There’s No Crying in Newsrooms”</a> and has served in various roles at ASU since 2002.

Gilger has been mired in controversy since assuming her role as dean this past summer. The previous candidate, Sonya Forte Duhe, was replaced by Gilger after <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/after-tweet-supporting-good-police-officers-arizona-state-revokes-journalism-dean-offer/">her offer was rescinded by the university</a>. After tweeting an image that was considered too positive towards police officers, Duhe was condemned by university faculty for showing “poor judgment.”

Gilger has come under fire after pressuring Rae’Lee Klein, a senior journalism major, and station manager for ASU’s Blaze radio, to resign from her position after <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/28/this-is-why-jacob-blake-had-a-warrant-out-for-his-arrest/?preview_id=16209831">tweeting and soon deleting a New York Post article</a> detailing the warrant issued for Jacob Blake’s arrest;

“Always more to the story, folks. Please read this article to get to the background of Jacob Blake’s warrant. You’ll be quite disgusted“ 

Blake—who was wanted for sexually assaulting his ex-girlfriend—was shot in the back by police after resisting arrest and allegedly reaching for a knife on the floor of his car.

Facing immediate backlash for her tweet, the Board of Directors at the station <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/09/18/arizona-student-journalist-cancelled-over-jacob-blake-tweet/">voted unanimously to remove her from her position</a>. Later releasing a statement, the board announced that “Blaze Radio firmly believes that Black Lives Matter.”

“The board gave Klein an opportunity to step down under her own will. As of the time of this statement, Klein has not made the decision to resign…In light of this, we do not recognize Rae'Lee Klein as the station manager of Blaze Radio.”  

Gilger has claimed that the University is not moving to remove Klein. In a statement to the New York Post, Gilger stated that Klein is not being targeted by the university for her views.

“Any actions that are unfolding are not punishment for a tweet. I have been clear with Rae’Lee that she would not be removed as station manager of Blaze Radio, a student internet radio station, because of the views she expressed,”  

However, in email exchanges between Klein and Gilger, she did in fact act to pressure Klein to resign, contrary to her statement.

In their exchange (pictured below) Gilger clearly states that Klein remaining in her position, “is not an option,” as she had lost the confidence of the board.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-909" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.18.44-PM.png" alt="" width="500" height="366" />

&nbsp;

Although suggesting new roles that Klein may assume, Gilger cites the "Media Guidelines for Student Journalists" to warn her to refrain in the future from posting information “that could call into question your ability to act independently as a journalist.” This seems to contradict Gilger’s claim that Klein was not being targeted by the university for her views.

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-910" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.24.32-PM.png" alt="" width="317" height="500" /><img class="aligncenter wp-image-911 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-4.51.32-PM-1-e1601512111513.png" alt="" width="339" height="642" /><img class="aligncenter wp-image-912 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.27.15-PM.png" alt="" width="342" height="540" />

&nbsp;

At this time, Klein has refused to step down from her role, and officially remains the station’s manager.

Update: In February of 2021, Klein announced that she <a href="https://www.westernjournal.com/college-pays-settlement-conservative-student-ousted-manager-role/">has reached a settlement with Gilger</a> over a lawsuit she had filed against ASU several months prior.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
UPDATE: I am happy to announce we've reached a resolution with Arizona State University for events that took place in September. With the support of my attorney, Jack Wilenchik, and countless other individuals, I am proud to have stood up, fought back and eventually, won.

<a href="https://cisa.asu.edu/node/7955" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Asao Inoue</a> is a professor and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, Equity and Inclusion in the College of Integrative Science and Arts at Arizona State University. According to his University biography, Inoue’s <a href="https://cisa.asu.edu/node/7955" target="_blank" rel="noopener">research</a> focuses on “antiracist and social justice theory and practices in writing assessments.”

Prior to his role at Arizona State, Inoue served as the Director of the Writing Center at the University of Washington-Tacoma. As Daily Caller <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/02/20/college-writing-center-declares-american-grammar-a-racist-unjust-language-structure/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documents</a>, Inoue <a href="\&quot;https://stjenglish.com/standing-against-racism-in-the-field-of-writing-dr-asao-inoue-uw-tacoma/\&quot;" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commissioned</a> an anti-racist poster in an effort to ensure that his staff did not “embrace racist practices.” Inoue maintains that racism is embedded in the English language as well as in society itself, writing that “racism is the normal condition of things.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1502 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-08-10T135650.565-e1628629052457-1024x391.png" alt="" width="580" height="221" />

According to the text of the poster, recorded by The College Fix, Inoue writes that his goal is to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/university-writing-center-combats-racist-unjust-language-structures/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">help students become more critical of “unjust language structures”</a> in order to succeed in what Inoue claims is a racist society.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1501 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-08-10T135356.265-e1628628890970-1024x296.png" alt="" width="580" height="168" />

Inoue would later author a book on his beliefs titled, “Labor-Based Grading Contracts: Building Equity and Inclusion in the Compassionate Writing Classroom.” In an excerpt from the book, Inoue declares that he focuses on grading students for their efforts, and not the “quality” of their writing.

“This book focuses on one kind of grading contract, one that calculates final course grades purely by the labor students complete, not by any judgments of the quality of their writing.”

As Daily Wire reports, Inoue writes that his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/arizona-state-dean-grading-writing-based-on-quality-is-racist-promotes-white-language-supremacy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beliefs and teaching practices are based on “critical-race theory,” or “labor-based theory.”</a>As Breitbart documents, c<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ritical race theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism</a> that views America and all of its institutions as being infected with white supremacy.

He writes further that grading students only perpetuates white supremacy.

“The traditional purposes and methods used for grading writing turn out to be de facto racist and White supremacist….Grading by a standard, thus, is how White language supremacy is perpetuated in schools”

Inoue also draws an analogy between issuing grades for English and the institution of slavery, stating that grading is a “slave-making mechanism.”

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1504 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-08-10T140031.897-e1628629269866-1024x317.png" alt="" width="580" height="180" />

Inoue believes that even the physical proximity of white people causes racism. In a YouTube video of Inoue speaking before the 2019 Convention of the National Council of Teachers of English, Inoue <a href="https://youtu.be/brPGTewcDYY?t=994" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states that even the presence of white people “perpetuates racism.</a>”

<a href="https://isearch.asu.edu/profile/597528" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lorraine Moya Salas</a> is an Instructor in the <a href="https://socialwork.asu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">School of Social Work</a> at <a href="https://campus.asu.edu/dohttps://campus.asu.edu/downtown-phoenixwntown-phoenix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arizona State University - Downtown Phoenix</a>.

During a lecture in one of her courses—titled, “Foundations of Social Work”—Dr. Lorraine can be heard describing the United States as a “white supremacist system,” that was founded for the benefit of white people at the expense of Native Americans and people of color.

In the class—recorded and provided exclusively to the Professor Watchlist team by an anonymous source—Dr. Salas urges her students to confront the “implicit biases” present in themselves and American society. Claiming that stereotypes and prejudices construct implicit bias, she warns that unconscious actions can cause serious harm.

Attempting to provide an example to bolster her claim, Dr. Salas states that implicit bias causes doctors to act as if their black patients are slaves. She proceeds to cite a study that claims doctors give less pain medication to black patients as compared to white ones.

Dr. Salas alleges this is the product of the legacy of slavery; slave owners viewed blacks as subhuman and able to withstand a large amount of pain, so therefore doctors continue to believe that blacks can withstand a large amount of pain. Doctors will therefore prescribe black patients less pain medication.

&nbsp;

Dr. Salas additionally cites a study that claims teachers will call on boys more often than girls in their classrooms. She claims this as proof that teachers think boys answer questions correctly more often than girls.

&nbsp;

Throughout the lecture, Dr. Salas alleges that numerous racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in society are a result of implicit bias. She urges her students, as future social workers, to confront their own implicit biases and assigns an “implicit bias test” for them to complete before the next class.

Dr. Salas additionally claims that institutional racism produces inequality and disparities, attributing it to the legacy of slavery in the Americas. Although acknowledging that all cultures practiced slavery, she claims that no slave trade was enforced along racial lines until the Europeans did so in order to specifically oppress people of color.

Citing slavery, the genocide of Native Americans and discriminatory, Jim Crow laws, Dr. Salas claims that  America was constructed as a “white supremacist culture” for the sole benefit of white people who have maintained their “white power structures” ever since.

&nbsp;

In the accompanying slides, Dr. Salas cites Critical Race Theory to define white supremacy as a, “political or socio-economic system where white people enjoy structural advantage and rights that other racial and ethnic groups do not, both at a collective and an individual level”.

&nbsp;

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.

Dr. Salas had previously published a paper on critical theory, titled, “Critical Theory: Pathway from Dichotomous to Integrated Social Work Practice.” In it, she urges social <a href="https://socialwork.rutgers.edu/file/4791/download" target="_blank" rel="noopener">workers to embrace critical theory in order to accomplish social justice</a> “at all levels of practice.”

Dr. Salas further states that while people of color can hold prejudiced views, they cannot be racist as they have no institutional power in a system that values whiteness. She urges white students in the class to be “allies” in order to help minorities access the resources available to them by way of “white privilege.”

In 2019, Cooper founded the “<a href="https://katelyncooper1.wixsite.com/bioedlab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cooper Biology Education Research Lab</a>” because she, as a gay woman, was “worried about biology research not being inclusive enough of “LGBTQ+ people,” according to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/inclusive-lab-for-lgbt-students-created-by-arizona-state-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">College Fix. </a>

Cooper is “upset that heterosexual white [men] dominate the biological sciences.” She told <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/nbc-out-proud/professor-making-biology-education-inclusive-lgbtq-undergrads-rcna28813" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a> that “The goal isn’t just to make classrooms more inclusive, she explained, but to bring more diversity to a field that has traditionally been dominated by straight white men.” 

Cooper also told NBC News her hopes for collegiate science education: “Cooper said science educators can make their classrooms more inclusive by being openly supportive of LGBTQ students.” According to Cooper, “Educators can, for example, put an inclusivity statement on their syllabus or website, foster safe environments for students to reveal their LGBTQ identities and familiarize themselves with on-campus LGBTQ resources in case students come to them for support.”

Brian’s <a href="https://jennydyckbrian.com/">website</a> goes in further detail as to what she teaches. For instance, her “Queer Bioethics” seminar course covers the challenges “LGBTQIA” people supposedly face that stem from bioethics and health policy.

The course <a href="https://webapp4.asu.edu/bookstore/viewsyllabus/2187/92008/pdf;jsessionid=CF01C07A3B0D3B971CE00A931AEA8ACD" target="_blank" rel="noopener">syllabus</a> — which  includes the “ethical issue” of “intersex children” gaining access to treatments — says:

“Some of the pressing ethical issues include access to health care and culturally competent mental health resources, treatments for intersex children, standards for blood donation from same-sex sexually active men, access to assisted reproductive technologies and adoption, health insurance coverage, violence (self and other-inflicted) toward gay and transgender youth, exclusion from clinical trials, and so-called ‘psychotherapies’ designed to change sexual orientation.”

The subjects of puberty blockers, gender diversity, transgenderism among adolescents, and gender dysphoria, are covered in the course. (See image of syllabus below):

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/291312" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rashad Shabazz</a> is an Associate Professor of African American Studies in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University (ASU). Shabazz’s university profile says his “academic expertise brings together human geography, black cultural studies, gender studies, and critical prison studies.” He also holds a Ph.D. in History of Consciousness from the University of California-Santa Cruz.

Shabazz teaches several race-based courses including “<a href="https://webapp4.asu.edu/bookstore/viewsyllabus/2227/88026">AFR301:</a> Race and Racism in the Black Diaspora.” The course description says, 

“Through slave rebellion in Haiti, black notions of freedom, black ideas of ‘being,’ and what on thinker calls ‘black reason,’ this class aims to show that race and racism is more than a tapestry of dominion, but…a reservoir of revolutionary ideas that…transform the world.”

In response to the killing of Tyre Nichols - a black man who was arrested and beaten and later died in the custody of black police officers - Shabazz <a href="https://theconversation.com/black-police-officers-arent-colorblind-theyre-infected-by-the-same-anti-black-bias-as-american-society-and-police-in-general-198721" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an article</a> in The Conversation entitled, “Black police officers aren’t colorblind–they’re infected by the same anti-black bias as American society and police in general.”

In the article, Shabazz argued, “Policing in the U.S. has, from its inception, treated Black people as domestic enemies. From slave patrols…to the murder of George Floyd, and now the death of Nichols, law enforcement officers often have viewed black people as what…W.E.B. Du Bois called a ‘problem.’”

He continued, “It’s hard to investigate the minds of the officers who beat Nichols so savagely and say for sure what motivated them. But there is ample research that suggests anti-blackness is a factor in American policing. And black officers, agents of an institutionally racist system, are affected by this.”

McCall’s biography says her research “centers on how race, class and culture impact educational equity in music learning and teaching.”

<a href="https://news.asu.edu/20210721-critical-race-theory-scholar-joins-asu-school-music-dance-and-theatre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ASU News</a> announced McCall’s position in 2021, stating that she was “one of the few scholars whose music education research focuses on race and racism through critical race theory [CRT] and double consciousness theory…”

The article goes on to say that McCall was the only African-American student to earn a doctorate in music education from ASU. McCall also reportedly said that she feels she can offer “an informed perspective based on experience and expertise” that can optimize K-12 learning experiences.

In July 2022, McCall was featured in a <a href="https://www.classicfm.com/discover-music/critical-race-theory-music-education/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Classic FM article</a> titled, “Music professor breaks down [CRT] and why it’s crucial for 21st-century music education.” McCall told the publication:

“‘[CRT] is a tool that was conceptualized and born out of critical legal studies as a means to analyze, critique and to help dismantle racism…Even though…we like to think of ourselves as being more progressive and more innovative…When you look at a university curriculum in America, it gives you a really nice snapshot of Western Europe.’”

She informs readers of her experiences as an “African American in music education…whose structures and social actors attempted to silence [her] voice.” Although McCall experienced notable success and received much encouragement throughout her pursuits, she wrote: 

“Despite my professors and peers at ASU ensuring me that I was in a safe place, I didn’t believe it because I knew that outside of ASU, society viewed my voice differently and that the profession did not want to hear what I had to say. These were my perceptions…”

“We use ‘Latinx’ as a gender-neutral reference to the people of Latin-American heritage. To not negate gendered experiences, we use Latino/Latina, or Chicano/a when acknowledging individuals or past research identifying with these gendered identities … Although both ‘Black’ and ‘Latinx’ are politicized categories, we recognize the reality of the identities are diverse, intersecting, and fluid.”
In an article titled “Over 1,200 ‘Educators for Palestine’ Sign Open Letter Demanding Ceasefire,” <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/over-a-thousand-educators-for-palestine-sign-open-letter-demanding-ceasefire/#:~:text=Hundreds%20of%20academics%20from%20universities,has%20killed%20more%20than%2011%2C000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Truthout</a> gave a biased account of a statement signed by several university professors, including Sampson. The statement was crafted after the October 7 Hamas attacks against Israel. 

Truthout said, “Hundreds of academics from universities and institutions of higher learning from … across North America have signed on to a joint letter, calling on their governments to demand Israeli ceasefire in Gaza … The signers, calling themselves ‘Educators for Palestine,’ are Palestinian academics and their allies who denounce Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.”

“We have paid careful attention to consistent invocations of children in public officials’ responses to and media portrayals of the attack in Israel on October 7, which took 1400 lives. We mourn this loss of life, and we are also struck by the ways that this concern for children does not extend to the unspeakable number of Palestinian children’s lives taken by Israeli state violence, harmed by apartheid rule, and traumatized by intergenerational experiences of settler colonial dispossession for over [75] years.”

According to Portillo’s biography, “Her work helps scholars and practitioners understand how inequities are institutionalized in public organizations … [She also] served as co-chair of Kansas Governor Laura Kelly’s Commission on Racial Equity and Justice.”

Portillo’s <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Kw7ABu8AAAAJ&amp;hl=en&amp;oi=ao" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published works</a> include topics such as “Social Equity,” “Law &amp; Society,” and “Street-Level Bureaucracy.” She co-authored a paper entitled “<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G6j6mAfv3ycBqEtPvz4qR70Tjk8GBjgH/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advancing Social Equity in the Minnowbrook Tradition</a>,” which discussed the “goals of valuing social equity and using it as a guide in managing public programs.” 

In her work, Portillo refers to a meeting called Minnowbrook I that took place following the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. According to the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G6j6mAfv3ycBqEtPvz4qR70Tjk8GBjgH/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Minnowbrook 50 Social Equity Manifesto</a>, “[A] group of public administration scholars met to reflect on the implications of the social and environmental circumstances for [their] discipline … [Their] call to action … focused on ways to intersect and integrate social equity in the research, teaching, and practice of public administration.”
In the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G6j6mAfv3ycBqEtPvz4qR70Tjk8GBjgH/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Minnowbrook paper,</a> Portillo et al. wrote:
“In 40 years since Minnowbrook I, the concern for social equity has grown to the point where it now occupies a firm place within the academy … However, despite its growth and general acceptance as a core area of research and concern, evidence of gross societal inequities in the United States and the global community abound.”
Portillo was featured in the <a href="https://news.ku.edu/news/article/2022/02/17/public-administration-should-consider-effects-whiteness-masculinity-well-representation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KU News article</a> titled “Public administration should consider effects of whiteness, masculinity as well as presentation, researchers say,” where she offered her perspective on gender and racial discrimination in the industry.

Portillo states that during President Woodrow Wilson’s term, a push for segregation led to discrimination and the “normalization of white men in bureaucratic roles.” Any truth in this statement is neutralized by her contradictory claim that “[w]hite men have been in charge pretty much forever,” and, at the same time, “[w]e need more empirical evidence” to know whether white men in leadership have helped or harmed professional communities.

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/4219914" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lydia HaRim Ahn</a> is an Assistant Professor in Counseling and Counseling Psychology at Arizona State University. According to her university profile, Ahn’s academic interests include the following:

“1) examining the detrimental effects of racism and oppression on marginalized communities with an emphasis on within group differences, 2) developmental protective and risk factors between racism and health outcomes with a focus on ethnic-racial socialization and parenting, and 3) enhancing positive psychological outcomes and change through psychotherapy, evidence-based videos, and prevention and intervention programming.” 
In February, Ahn and Thomas P. Le co-wrote an <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Asian American Women’s Racial Dating Preferences: An Investigation of Internalized Racism, Resistance and Empowerment against Racism, and Desire for Status.” In the abstract for the article, the authors state their purpose for writing it: 
“To further understand racialized desire among this underrepresented population, the present study examined the extent to which three sociocultural factors (i.e., internalized racism, resistance and empowerment against racism, and desire for status) were associated with two attraction outcome variables (i.e., dating preferences, physical attraction) across four racial categories of men: Asian men, Black men, Latino men, and White men.” 
They claim the factors of “internalized racism, resistance and empowerment against racism, and desire for status” have caused Asian American women to have a “stronger dating preference toward White men and weaker dating preference and physical attraction to Asian men.”  

In a section of the article titled “Internalized Racism,” the authors address their research on male dating preferences based on race. Focusing on Asian American women, the authors state that the demographic faces “gendered racial microaggressions and model minority stereotypes that produce internalized racism.” They then focus on the differences between Asian and white men with regard to Asian women and dating: 
“Asian American women have reported a desire to date White men for the sake of economic security, as well as to assimilate into White American society, even if their White male partners engaged in racial fetishization of Asian women (Nemoto, <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR50" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2006</a>). This preference may promote stereotypes of Asian American men as undesirable and perpetually foreign (Wong &amp; McCullough, <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR69" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021</a>) and Black and Latino men as inferior to white men (Cascalheira &amp; Smith, <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2020</a>). Furthermore, Asian American women face gendered racism (Gamst et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR15" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2023</a>), or experiences of discrimination that are based upon the intersections of their race and gender, which contributes to their disempowerment and negative self-worth within the United States (Ahn et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022</a>).”
The authors conclude their study:
“Overall, our findings highlight how Asian American women’s romantic and intimate desires may be shaped by internalized racism, resistance and empowerment, and desire for social status. Asian American women face gendered racial microaggressions and model minority stereotypes that produce internalized racism (Ahn et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022</a>; Juang et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR26" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2018</a>; Wei et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR68" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2008</a>).”

On August 30, 2024, Lober was featured in The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/u-s-hates-women-faces-future-of-cannibalism-forced-breeding-camps-asu-event/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> entitled “U.S. ‘hates women,’ faces future of cannibalism, ‘forced breeding campus’: ASU event.” Lober partnered with ASU Professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/jennyirish" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jenny Irish</a> who <a href="https://asuevents.asu.edu/event/jenny-irishs-hatch-speculative-future-reproductive-rights?eventDate=2024-08-28&amp;id=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">organized an event</a> to discuss abortion.

According to The Fix, “Lober opened the one-hour moderated discussion by stating she ‘got into this space because the United States hates women and everything the female body does.’” 

The School Board Watchlist did not uncover the original audio from the event. However, <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/cannibalism-forced-breeding-professors-fearmonger-abortion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Live Action </a>pointed out:
“Lober also argued that she is discouraging her children from having children, and said the decline in birth rates is a good thing—because the planet is overpopulated. Yet, ironically, the ASU <a href="https://asuevents.asu.edu/event/jenny-irishs-hatch-speculative-future-reproductive-rights?eventDate=2024-08-28&amp;id=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">events page</a> states that Lober’s ‘research is focused on establishing lactation and breastfeeding as a public health imperative’ and that she ‘is dedicated to working for a better world for families’...How, exactly does not create a better world for families or better health for children by encouraging abortion?”
Conservative lawyer and journalist, Jonathan Turley, <a href="https://jonathanturley.org/2024/09/01/the-united-states-hates-women-asu-event-offers-dystopian-anti-capitalist-vision-of-america/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mentioned</a> Lober in an article titled “‘The United States Hates Women’: ASU Event Offer Dystopian, Anti-Capitalist Vision of America.” Reflecting on Lober’s resolution for a future America without abortion, Turley said she called for the audience “to help ‘dismantle capitalism’ and ‘elect a female president.’”

Since the event, Lober has not commented publicly on her role in the conversation with Irish. Based on mainstream media reactions, both professors are committed to espousing anti-American and anti-family values.

In a 2023 <a href="https://www.kjzz.org/2024-04-30/content-1878588-stephen-king-seen-just-horror-author-asu-professor-argues-hes-much-more" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with 91.5 KJZZ Phoenix, Irish discussed her thoughts on horror author Stephen King, whose books are currently being <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/stephen-king-florida-book-ban-viral-post-1947396" target="_blank" rel="noopener">removed from school libraries</a> in Florida. The KJZZ host asked Irish to comment on her “associations” with the King novel “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Carrie-Stephen-King/dp/1984898108/ref=asc_df_1984898108/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=692875362841&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=14364719003284224040&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9061155&amp;hvtargid=pla-2281435178818&amp;psc=1&amp;mcid=d9f4354e402c38979d3d64dbfc2a5893&amp;hvocijid=14364719003284224040-1984898108-&amp;hvexpln=73" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carrie</a>”—the story of a high school outcast with telekinetic powers who eventually murders her bullying classmates by setting the town on fire. 

Irish responded to the interviewer stating:
“‘Carrie’ is amazing in the fact that [it] was written 50 years ago, but there’s so much about it that feels pretty tragically contemporary. If Carrie White had had access to a decent sex ed class, the town of Chamberlain, Maine, would still be standing…[I]t’s not hard to think about that in the midst I feel of our current kind of sociopolitical moment, where there’s such an assault on bodily autonomy and considerations of the rights of people to define their own identity and their own bodies and their relationships to them.”
On August 30, 2024, Irish was featured in The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/u-s-hates-women-faces-future-of-cannibalism-forced-breeding-camps-asu-event/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> entitled “U.S. ‘hates women,’ faces future of cannibalism, ‘forced breeding campus’: ASU event.” In <a href="https://lincolncenter.asu.edu/wb-workshop-HATCH" target="_blank" rel="noopener">partnership</a> with ASU Professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angelalober" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angela Lober</a>, Irish <a href="https://asuevents.asu.edu/event/jenny-irishs-hatch-speculative-future-reproductive-rights?eventDate=2024-08-28&amp;id=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hosted an event</a> centered on releasing her new book “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Hatch/9sHtEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;printsec=frontcover">Hatch</a>,” a collection of prose poems exploring the future of the human race surviving through AI.

According to <a href="https://nupress.northwestern.edu/9780810146969/hatch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northwestern University Press</a>:
“The prose poems in Jenny Irish’s newest collection, Hatch, trace the consciousness of an artificial womb that must confront the role she has played in the continuation of the dying of the human species. This apocalyptic vision engages with the most pressing concerns of this contemporary sociopolitical moment: reproductive rights, climate crises, and mass extinction; gender and racial bias in healthcare technology…and the possibilities and dangers of artificial intelligence.”
In the following excerpt, Irish appears to describe an abortion from the artificial womb’s perspective.

*RECOMMENDED PROFESSOR*
<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/843137" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Owen Anderson</a> is a Professor in the School of Humanities at Arizona State University. He teaches courses focused on philosophy, morality, and religion. As a Christian in a secular institution, Dr. Anderson has been subjected to discrimination and exclusion by the college. 

On September 20, 2024, <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/christian-professors-intro-to-christianity-class-torpedoed-at-asu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix featured</a> Anderson in an article titled “Christian professor’s ‘Intro to Christianity’ class torpedoed at ASU.” Quoting Dr. Anderson’s phone interview, the Fix wrote:
“If a class does not have a general education designation, most students won’t enroll and his college will be hesitant to offer it because it won’t attract many students.” 
Dr. Anderson’s Intro to Christianity class was canceled because he said ASU “[doesn’t] want it taught from a Christian perspective.” He provided The Fix with a member from ASU <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/juliasarreal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associate Professor Julia Sarreal</a> who said, “The syllabus reflects a Christian way of teaching Christianity, which is to say the course does not adequately provide the kids of critical, reflective, disciplinary skills that students need.”

Dr. Anderson’s rebuttal to Sarreal’s and other’s concerns about the course can be read <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ONMoLSpqoWzMlY84nc4fThVk7RKCCNPHZZwnJKUPnS8/edit">here</a>.

After being canceled by ASU, Dr. Anderson posted a response on social media:

In an <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/asus-dr-owen-anderson-warns-of-new-policies-threatening-academic-freedom">interview with Turning Point USA</a>, Dr. Anderson stated that he, and his colleagues, were asked to “decolonize” their course syllabi. He described decolonization according to ASU’s definition:
“Decolonize means you become aware of any Western, and especially Christian, influences in your syllabus, and you replace those with what they would call ‘Indigenous people’s perspectives.’ Decolonizing comes out of a communist philosophy…It’s a political philosophy that’s being adopted by ASU to push on the students.”
During the interview, Dr. Anderson also said since he teaches world religions and philosophies, he believes his courses are culturally diverse, therefore, his lesson plans don’t need to be revised.

On March 19, 2024, Dr. Anderson <a href="https://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Complaint-Final-with-exhibits.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed a complaint</a> with the Arizona Board of Regents after ASU mandated diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training for faculty and staff members. In <a href="https://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/case/dismantling-asus-discriminatory-dei-regime/">partnership</a> with the Goldwater Institute, he brought the lawsuit to prohibit the college from using race, ethnicity, or sex—which goes against state and federal laws—to hire and retain employees.

In a June 18 <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/06/my-university-required-dei-training-im-suing/">opinion editorial</a> titled “My University Required DEI Training. I’m Suing,” Dr. Anderson wrote:
“I’m in favor of each of those terms: Diversity…equity…and inclusion…are undoubtedly good things. But when I began the mandatory training, I found something troubling: It engaged in race blaming, warning of the supposed ‘problem’ of whiteness and encouraged judgment of people based on their skin color. I could not, in good conscience, continue such racist training.”
Dr. Anderson <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/asus-dr-owen-anderson-warns-of-new-policies-threatening-academic-freedom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> TPUSA that he believes these cultural shifts occurred as a result of ASU’s evolving definition of “multiculturalism,” which he also said, “caused respect for Christians to deteriorate on campus.”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/1429800" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julia Sarreal</a> is a Professor in the School of Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies at Arizona State University. Sarreal’s research interests include Latin American Studies, Food, Drugs, and Capitalism. Her top area of expertise is “Consumerism.”

On September 20, 2024, Sarreal was featured in The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/christian-professors-intro-to-christianity-class-torpedoed-at-asu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Christian professor’s ‘Intro to Christianity’ class torpedoed at ASU.” The piece covers the cancelation of <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/drowenanderson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor Dr. Owen Anderson’s</a> religious studies course. 

After the college rejected his class, it was revealed that Sarreal objected to the premise of Christianity being taught on campus. The Fix recorded her comments:

“The <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/771107095/REL-270-Introduction-to-Christianity-ASU-Dr-Owen-Anderson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">syllabus</a> reflects a Christian way of teaching Christianity, which is to say the course does not adequately provide the kinds of critical, reflective, disciplinary skills that students need to have in order to study religious traditions.”

“Furthermore, the focus on ‘Western Civilization’ is problematic. It is true that Christianity has been ‘influential’ in European history, it has also been deeply influential elsewhere in ways that are completely ignored in the syllabus.” 

Based on the feedback Sarreal received from Dr. Anderson, it appears she either did not read the syllabus or chose to interpret the lesson plans through an objectionable lens. Sarreal specifically described one of the modules as being “focused on ‘the’ biblical worldview” and called this a “fraught oversimplification.”

Profile in progress. Please check back.

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/3924315" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ruben Espinosa</a> is Professor of English and Director of the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at Arizona State University (ASU). According to his faculty profile, Espinosa’s studies are chiefly focused on the work of William Shakespeare. 

On September 16, 2024, ASU’s <a href="https://humanitiesinstitute.asu.edu/events" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Humanities Institute</a> hosted a panel with Espinosa and Professor Curtis Austin on cultural appropriation concerning the plays of Shakespeare. The <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/arizona-state-u-scholars-condemn-white-ownership-of-shakespeare/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">event</a> is described by the university as such: 
“What constitutes cultural appropriation, and when is it unethical? Should we adopt voices beyond our own, and if so then what factors must be weighed beforehand?”
“Pressing on hard research questions may lead to ethical dilemmas of how to speak in relation to another. This panel will discuss what it means to think, research, and write across cultures and ways of being.”  
In an audio recording of a l<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/arizona-state-u-scholars-condemn-white-ownership-of-shakespeare/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ecture</a> obtained by the College Fix, Espinosa connected the alleged “white exceptionalism” of January 6 rioters U.S. Capitol protesters to Shakespeare. These two are both claimed to be symbols of “white exceptionalism” and “racial hierarchy.” The professor stated:

“It kind of has this origin in anti-immigrant sentiments, right, all the way to January 6th, when we think about that white exceptionalism, and this notion of a kind of white ownership of Shakespeare.”
Espinosa believes that “Shakespeare is the epitome or the marker of white exceptionalism” and sits at the top of the “racial hierarchy.” Thereby, he attached the poet to “whiteness” exclusively over humanity independent of race. 

In 2021, Espinosa published a book titled “<a href="https://www.routledge.com/Shakespeare-on-the-Shades-of-Racism/Espinosa/p/book/9780367183004">Shakespeare on the Shades of Racism</a>.” The publisher’s description states:
“Shakespeare on the Shades of Racism examines Shakespeare in relation to ongoing conversations that interrogate the vulnerability of Black and brown people amid oppressive structures that aim to devalue their worth. By focusing on the way these individuals are racialized, politicized, policed, and often violated in our contemporary world, it casts light on dimensions of Shakespeare’s work that afford us a better understanding of our ethical responsibilities in the face of such brutal racism.”

Dr. <a href="https://facstaff.elon.edu/msquire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megan Squire</a> is a Professor of Computer Science at <a href="https://www.elon.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon University</a> in North Carolina. Professor Squire primarily researches the application of data science techniques to understand “<a href="https://facstaff.elon.edu/msquire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">niche and extremist online communities, particularly radical right-wing groups on social media</a>”, according to her university biography.
Dr. Squire’s biography further states that she has discussed her work on “numerous media outlets.” Those listed on her profile include <a href="https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2021/01/january-6-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mother Jones</a>, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-or-war-how-the-capitol-mob-mobilized-on-social-media-11610069778" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal</a>, and the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/08/technology/dlive-capitol-mob.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a>.

In a study—titled, &#8220;Network Text, and Image Analysis of Anti-Muslim Groups on Facebook,&#8221;—Squire defines Islamaphobia, anti-Muslim bias, as “indiscriminate negative attitudes, hostility” or bias against Islam as a religion and against Muslims in the same <a href="https://webscience-journal.net/webscience/article/view/77" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a>.  The paper also lists various “ideologies” that Squire claims exhibit an anti-Muslim bias.
Dr. Squire <a href="https://webscience-journal.net/webscience/article/view/77" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states </a>that Islamophobia attitudes and “overt acts of hate” are increasingly common in a study, titled Network, Text, Image Analysis of Anti-Muslim Groups on Facebook, published in the <a href="https://webscience-journal.net/webscience" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Journal of Web Science</a>. She claims that the purpose of her paper is to “begin to understand how anti-muslim political groups use the Facebook social network to build their online communities and perpetuate their beliefs.” She further states that her research can be used by platform providers to “confront and condemn” what she describes as “anti-Muslim bias.”

Her connection to ANTIFA is documented in an article for Wired Magazine, titled Meet Antifa’s Secret Weapon Against Far-Right Extremism. Squire is “sympathetic” to ANTIFA’s goals and refuses to condemn the group’s violent tactics according to the article. Wired further states that Squire uses her connections with ANTIFA to send data to groups like Redneck Revolt.

Dr. <a href="https://facstaff.elon.edu/msquire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megan Squire</a> is a Professor of Computer Science at <a href="https://www.elon.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon University</a> in North Carolina. Professor Squire primarily researches the application of data science techniques to understand “<a href="https://facstaff.elon.edu/msquire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">niche and extremist online communities, particularly radical right-wing groups on social media</a>”, according to her university biography.

Dr. Squire’s biography further states that she has discussed her work on “numerous media outlets.” Those listed on her profile include <a href="https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2021/01/january-6-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mother Jones</a>, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-or-war-how-the-capitol-mob-mobilized-on-social-media-11610069778" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal</a>, and the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/08/technology/dlive-capitol-mob.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a>. The biography also lists her as a Senior Fellow for Data Analytics at the <a href="https://www.splcenter.org/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw1PSDBhDbARIsAPeTqrds2_QifoTQNEigacYteOjjceEp6PgvIhokk5QP2onVJzkOCb08DzAaAs31EALw_wcB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Southern Poverty Law Center</a> (SPLC) and the head of the Technical Research Unit at the <a href="https://www.radicalrightanalysis.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Analysis of the Radical Right</a> (CARR).

In a study—titled, "Network Text, and Image Analysis of Anti-Muslim Groups on Facebook,"—Squire defines Islamaphobia, anti-Muslim bias, as “indiscriminate negative attitudes, hostility” or bias against Islam as a religion and against Muslims in the same <a href="https://webscience-journal.net/webscience/article/view/77" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a>.  The paper also lists various “ideologies” that Squire claims exhibit an anti-Muslim bias.

Dr. Squire <a href="https://webscience-journal.net/webscience/article/view/77" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states </a>that Islamophobia attitudes and “overt acts of hate” are increasingly common in a study, titled Network, Text, Image Analysis of Anti-Muslim Groups on Facebook, published in the <a href="https://webscience-journal.net/webscience" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Journal of Web Science</a>. She claims that the purpose of her paper is to “begin to understand how anti-muslim political groups use the Facebook social network to build their online communities and perpetuate their beliefs.” She further states that her research can be used by platform providers to “confront and condemn” what she describes as “anti-Muslim bias.”

Squire then <a href="https://webscience-journal.net/webscience/article/view/77" target="_blank" rel="noopener">details</a> the groups and sentiments that are contained within each ideology. These include the organization <a href="https://www.actforamerica.org/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw1PSDBhDbARIsAPeTqre5a3P6bxjCOD-Bf9waIKM88enR4UVL80lAsurEk4lzEvocfIKcvPkaAlzIEALw_wcB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ACT! 4 America</a>, activists <a href="https://www.actforamerica.org/aboutbrigitte" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bridgette Gabriel</a> and <a href="https://www.horowitzfreedomcenter.org/david-horowitz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Horowitz</a>, individuals described as border guards/patrols, the <a href="https://cis.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Immigration Studies</a>, and “extreme traditional constitutionalism.” Squire lists the same organizations and individuals alongside Klu Klux Klan and White Nationalist Organizations in the study.

Squire <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180318080144/https://www.wired.com/story/free-speech-issue-antifa-data-mining/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">distributes her research to multiple ANTIFA organizations across the country</a>. Her connection to ANTIFA is documented in an article for Wired Magazine, titled Meet Antifa’s Secret Weapon Against Far-Right Extremism. Squire is “sympathetic” to ANTIFA’s goals and refuses to condemn the group’s violent tactics according to the article. Wired further states that Squire uses her connections with ANTIFA to send data to groups like Redneck Revolt.

Redneck Revolt describes itself as a “national network community defense organization” that focuses on “class liberation” according to the group’s <a href="https://www.redneckrevolt.org/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>. The organization states that it is  an “above-ground, militant organization” as an organizing principle and states openly that “we are not pacifists.”<img class="wp-image-1907 size-large aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-30T150704.380-e1638310062186-1024x381.png" alt="" width="580" height="216" />

Mr. Hunter Biden is a former board member of Burisma Holdings and the son of the 46th President of the United States, Joe Biden.
This Fall 2021 semester, Mr. Biden will assist in lecturing a course titled <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2021/04/28/hunter-biden-to-teach-class-on-fake-news-at-tulane-university/">“Media Polarization and Public Policy Impacts”</a> at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. <a href="https://www.newsmax.com/politics/hunter-biden-tulane-media-polarization-fake-news/2021/04/28/id/1019344/">Newsmax reports</a> that the course will be co-led by Professors Mitchel Sellers and Andrew Schwartz, and will include speakers such as Juan Williams, Brett Stephens, Susan Glasser, and Dr. Deborah Birx, among others.
According to the course syllabus—<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9518187/Hunter-Biden-guest-teach-class-fake-news-Tulane-University-fall.html">obtained by The Daily Mail</a>—Mr. Biden will be lecturing students on “America’s rapidly advancing partisan divide. . .fueled substantially by the growing political polarization increasingly evident in our news media. This course will explore the current state of the media landscape in the United States and how media polarization, fake news, and the news business impact public policymaking in Washington, D.C.”

&nbsp;
In October 2020, while his father—Joe Biden—was campaigning as the Democratic nominee for President, Mr. Biden faced intense scrutiny in regards to an <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/10/15/emails-reveal-how-hunter-biden-tried-to-cash-in-big-with-chinese-firm/">exposé by The New York Post</a> for allegedly leveraging his relationship with then-Vice President Biden for financial gain. Emails obtained by The New York Post reveal Mr. Biden’s communications regarding a multi-million dollar investment in a Chinese firm and the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hunter-biden-ukraine-burisma-adviser-email?fbclid=IwAR0zYG1KP-DcppQPdF_8KoiVY6pjPK91vUTyHLG7QelQdq1RA53z004FVTA">facilitation of a meeting</a> between a board member of Burisma Holdings and Joe Biden (while he was Vice President) in 2016.
Following the meeting, then Vice President Biden <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/2020-election/2019/11/04/report-joe-biden-pressured-ukraine-to-fire-top-prosecutor-after-burisma-lobbying-effort/">allegedly pressured the Ukranian government</a> to terminate the prosecutor responsible for investigating Burisma Holdings for corruption—while Mr. Hunter Biden received a $50,000 a month salary from the company. Then-presidential candidate Biden had <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/joe-biden-ukraine-hunter-denial">denied</a> knowledge of his son’s business deals.
The reports were dismissed by then-presidential candidate Biden, who <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/joe-biden-says-hunter-biden-laptop-story-is-russian-plan-despite-lack-of-evidence/ar-BB1ajFg1">described</a> the story as “Russian disinformation.” In a <a href="https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000175-4393-d7aa-af77-579f9b330000">published statement</a>, fifty former intelligence and national security officials, including former CIA Director John Brennan, additionally described the report as a “Russian information operation.” The letter states, “We want to emphasize that we do not know if the emails, provided to the New York Post by President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, are genuine or not and that we do not have evidence of Russian involvement—just that our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case.”

&nbsp;
Following the publication of the emails, social media companies immediately began to censor the report on their respective platforms. <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/10/14/facebook-twitter-block-the-post-from-posting/">According to The New York Post</a>, the newspaper was denied access to its Twitter account for alleged distribution of “hacked materials.” Twitter also prevented all users from sharing The New York Post’s report on the controversial issue. <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/10/14/facebook-limits-spread-of-the-posts-hunter-biden-expose/">Facebook similarly prevented</a> users from sharing the article, stating that the company would prevent the distribution of the story on its site until it could be reviewed by Facebook’s “third-party fact-checking partners.”
The authenticity of the communications were later validated by Mr. Hunter Biden’s former business partner, Tony Bobulinski, who was a recipient of many of the published emails. Bobulinski detailed Hunter&#8217;s overseas business ties—and President Joe Biden’s knowledge of the emails—in an interview<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zLfBRgeFFo&amp;ab_channel=FoxNews"> on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight</a>, which can be viewed below.

&nbsp;
The Director of National Intelligence in late 2020, John Ratcliffe, later <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/oct/19/no-russian-conspiracy-biden-laptop-scandal-dni-rat/">confirmed</a> that there was “no intelligence” that the report was part of a Russian disinformation campaign.

It is unclear if those investigations continue as of the publication of this profile.
Hunter Biden has additionally come under scrutiny for allegedly lying on a Firearms Transaction Record to <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2021/03/26/read-the-gun-background-check-form-where-hunter-biden-claimed-he-wasnt-using-drugs/">illegally purchase a firearm</a>.

In June of 2021, additional text messages from Hunter Biden’s laptop were published, in which he repeatedly <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/06/08/hunter-biden-repeatedly-called-his-white-lawyer-the-n-word-texts-show/">referred to his lawyer using the “n-word”</a> amongst other crude remarks.

The existence of <a href="https://archive.naplesnews.com/news/thomas-sowell-politicians-created-the-lending-crisis-but-they-wont-solve-it-ep-401415710-344447982.html/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the practice has been disputed by economists like Thomas Sowell</a>, who notes a correlation between average credit scores among various races/nationalities and loan issuance.

Dr. Bartram still <a href="https://theconversation.com/black-women-endure-legacy-of-racism-in-homeownership-and-making-costly-repairs-190881" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attributes cites redlining as part of the “legacies of racism” that caused the dereliction of majority-black neighborhoods.</a> She reached this conclusion during a 10-year study on housing conditions in major American cities.

She concluded that black Americans had to commit more money to home repairs and were subject to predatory loans due to racist lending practices:
“The racism pervading the housing industry is now well known. The real estate industry has, at different points in history, excluded Black Americans from homeownership, included them through predatory loans and deals and reinforced racial segregation by denying loans to Black and other minority residents….”
Continuing, Dr. Bartram accuses mortgage lenders of sexism as well:

“These real estate agents and mortgage brokers knew Black women had limited options and assumed they would be likely to default on their mortgages. Black women were consistently sold homes that needed repairs.”

She further alleges that global warming will only compound “environmental racism” and its effects on poor, black communities.

In a similar article for South Side Weekly, she <a href="https://southsideweekly.com/op-ed-whats-wrong-with-chicagos-building-code/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accuses white realtors of “lining their pockets” by leaving black borrowers unable to escape from their debt</a>. She calls for federal intervention in the form of zoning reforms and subsidies for repairs to alleviate systemic racism.  Bartram is also the author of “<a href="https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/S/bo174780463.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stacked Decks: Building Inspectors and the Reproduction of Urban Inequality</a>.” She further served as the 2021-22 <a href="https://www.americanbarfoundation.org/research/Fellowshipopportunities/ABF_JPB_Foundation_Access_to_Justice_Scholars_Program0/2021_22_Access_to_Justice_Scholars.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Access to Justice Faculty Scholar</a> for the American Bar Association.

<a href="http://gilian.tenbergen.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Gilian Tenbergen</a> is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the State University of New York (SUNY) &#8211; Oswego. She further directs the Sexual Neuroendocrinology (SENEU) Lab and serves on the <a href="https://prostasia.org/our-team/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advisory Council of the Prostasia Foundation</a>. Through both organizations, Dr. Tenbergen provides support and resources to what she refers to as Minor Attracted Persons (MAP). 
The term, “MAP,” is considered to be less stigmatizing as Dr. Tenbergen believes that pedophiles face too much stigmatization, and seeks to differentiate between pedophiles who act on their impulses and those who do not. She believes this distinction can be used to prevent the sexual exploitation of children if a pedophile is not stigmatized. 
In an article for Protasia, she details her approach to <a href="https://prostasia.org/blog/how-maps-can-obtain-help-not-to-offend/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">treating pedophiles so they may lead “law-abiding, offense-free, fulfilling lives.&#8221;</a> Dr. Tenbergen writes the common belief that “all pedophiles/MAPs will eventually offend” is not true, but ensures her readers that many “MAPs” are dedicated to preventing sexual abuse. She cites a number of organizations, including the Virtuous Pedophiles, the Prevention Project, and Troubled Desire, as evidence that not all pedophiles offend.  
In the same article, Dr. Tenbergen appears to blame the scrutiny of pedophilia for driving people to commit child sexual abuse (CSA) and consume child sexual exploitation material (CSEM). She writes that many are victims of society’s stigma, which prevents them from seeking help before they offend.  
“But for those in the middle, who may be just looking for information about pedophilia/minor attraction, or who may be actually considering engaging in CSA/CSEM use, we pretend they don’t exist. We actually go so far as a society as to prevent them from seeking help, from obtaining information, from living good lives. What should we do in this circumstance? How can we together improve CSA/CSEM prevention and protect children?”

<a href="https://www.education.pitt.edu/faculty/directory/sabina-vaught/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sabina Vaught</a> is a Professor at the School of Education at the University of Pittsburgh. She also serves as the Director of the Kinloch Commons for Critical Pedagogy and Leadership. According to Vaught’s faculty biography, her research “considers global carceral and liberatory knowledge movements broadly and the race-gender labor and conquest relationships among schools, prisons, and insurgent communities specifically.”
In March 2024, Vaught hosted a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GX3m-8k8m4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">virtual panel discussion</a> called “Feminism &amp; Liberation Struggle” with <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nadaelia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professors Nada Elia</a> and <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nadinenaber" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nadine Naber</a>. Vaught opened the discussion by stating:
“[Welcome] to the first talk in this spring series of dialogues with guests whose experience and knowledge will support all of us in deepening our understanding of the long struggle for a free Palestine and the right of return — and against the US-Israeli colonization, occupation, settlement, and genocide.”
During the talk, Vaught congratulated <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/when-abolitionists-say-free-them-all-we-mean-palestine-too/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Naber</a> for an article in which she compared police response during the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/place/Ferguson#ref1204126" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2014 Ferguson riots</a> to Israel’s response after the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, 2023. Vaught said:

“I’m joining you today … on a special anniversary … 56 years ago today Malcolm X spoke at the London School of Economics, sadly, 10 days before he was assassinated. But in reading through the remarks he shared at LSE, I was struck … by his attention to the revolutionary movements across Africa as models and inspirations for [liberation movements] the world over.”
She continued:
“And one of the central features of liberation at that time … was this collective resistance to colonial law [which was] meant to support and maintain colonists’ repressive drive for, among other things, exploited and exploitable labor forces. So, law[sic] was always the fascist marriage of globally militarized governments and capital or corporate interests.”

She writes in the introduction:
“Racism is produced by and produces structural racial domination …  The people in [my] study are not isolated, individual players in unique scenarios of schooling and failure. They are in fact part of the larger system of racism to which they variously contribute and against which they variously struggle. [JPS] maintained a relatively stable cohort of [w]hite middle-class students.”

<a href="https://bioethics.pitt.edu/people/greer-donley-jd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Greer Donley</a> is a John E. Murray Scholar and Associate Professor of Law at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. According to her university profile, she is a “national expert on abortion and the law.”

Greer Donley, along with professors <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/davidcohen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David S. Cohen</a> and <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/rachelrebouche" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rachel Rebouché</a>, co-authored a paper titled, “<a href="https://deliverypdf.ssrn.com/delivery.php?ID=201095112122103006025001126085088086040043066035030023010102086110082021091104083089018000021043022098116013003097117122116005047027049064068076113123027064120023067081030081125091019084010126124006076097006097103124024118011028114001123029127006098&amp;EXT=pdf&amp;INDEX=TRUE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New Abortion Battleground</a>.” This article lays out three potential ways that the Biden administration can “protect abortion rights” in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned.

Donley and her co-authors write that Congress should create a federal right to abortion which, under the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, would arguably “preempt state abortion bans.” They also suggest the federal government could allow abortions to take place on federal land where state abortion bans might be inapplicable. Lastly, they advocate for the federal government to remove obstacles that may make it difficult for women to receive medication abortions.

Donley authored another article titled, “<a href="https://deliverypdf.ssrn.com/delivery.php?ID=204024105119027094067107010108101093034021070051045032025118110105026087085098121011048103001010014121023024093064000082004114107082070089028065088099014117080065035037042078101014092029003127022067076087069115111066001082003071009111005095012015113&amp;EXT=pdf&amp;INDEX=TRUE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Second-Trimester Abortion Dangertalk</a>.” She defines dangertalk as a term abortion providers use to describe “open dialogue about uncomfortable abortion truths.” She believes that “embracing abortion dangertalk should disarm the anti-abortion, woman-protective narrative surrounding second-trimester abortion regulations - a narrative suggesting that women would not have chosen an abortion had they been better informed.”

The first part of her paper describes “the unique nature of the second-trimester abortion procedure, which is ‘visually and viscerally different’ than first-trimester abortion because it involved ‘removing what looks like a fully formed but small baby’ instead of a ‘microscopic fetus and gestational sac.’”

In the second part of her article, she admits many women feel a sense of grief and loss after a second trimester abortion. She believes that abortion providers should offer patients the option of memory-making to help them process these emotions. Memory-making is typically used for parents who have experienced a stillbirth. It gives them the opportunity to hold their child and obtain mementos such as pictures and footprints.

Donley notes that some abortion providers offer this care to a certain extent, but believes it should become common practice for women to be offered memory-making opportunities with their aborted child. She suggests: “Women can, for instance, create mementos from the heartbeat sound, have special ultrasound pictures taken, have footprints and handprints made, name the child, or have the remains cremated or buried.”

Donley adds that certain types of abortion procedures may not make it possible for the woman to hold the child. She notes an induction abortion “allows a woman to hold her baby without any physical scars caused by the abortion procedure.” She also says:
“A D&amp;X abortion allows similar opportunities without the extra time, expense, or need for inpatient care, including the baby, albeit with some trauma to the fetus’s head. Holding the baby is often not possible after a D&amp;E because the fetus is not intact, but other memories are possible.” 
Despite all this, Donley says abortion providers believe that memory-making can be empowering for women who receive a second-trimester abortion. They believe that “women who choose to view the fetal tissue benefit due to ‘exercising choice and control during the abortion.’”

According to his university profile, Yearwood’s research interests include “the social constructions of race and racism, masculinity, gender, sex, Black Feminist and Black Queer theory, anthropology of sport and Black diaspora.” He teaches courses such as Activist Anthropology, Anthropology of Race and Science, and Politics of Black Masculinity.

The event was a joint effort between the Leadership Institute and Turning Point USA and featured a question-and-answer session.

After a short back-and-forth, Gaines asked Yearwood, “If you were to dig up two humans one hundred years from now, both man and woman, could you tell the difference, strictly off of bones?”

After Yearwood replied “No!” the room erupted in laughter. In response, Yearwood stated:
“Have any of you been to anthropological sites? Have any of you studied biological anthropology? I’m just saying, I’ve got over 150 years of data, I’m just curious as to why I’m being laughed at.”

“Every single rational person knows the answer: men have narrower hips, their skulls are different, they have an extra rib, their femurs are longer, their jaws are different.

<a href="https://business.pitt.edu/professors/charles-hadlock/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charles Hadlock</a> is the Terrence Laughlin Chair in Finance at the Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business and College of Business Administration at the University of Pittsburgh. Before joining the Katz faculty in 2022, Hadlock was a Professor of Finance and Associate Dean at Michigan State University.

<a href="https://www.utimes.pitt.edu/news/new-katz-professor-left" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University Times</a> reports, around the same time Hadlock joined Pitt faculty, the Title IX coordinator at Michigan State University signed a formal complaint against him. The Times writes, “Two people reported being subject to unwelcome sexual contact by Hadlock, who was then business school associate dean, during an annual business gala in April 2022 attended by students and professors.”

An investigation report of the incident was made public in January 2023 and found that Hadlock did violate the school’s policies on relationship violence, sexual misconduct and Title IX while “heavily intoxicated” at the Gatsby Gala.

After the report became public, a Pitt spokesperson said:
“In light of the information that became public in January of 2023, the University’s Office of Compliance, Investigation and Ethics is reviewing this hiring process. Once this review is complete, the University will be positioned to determine the appropriate next steps.” 
Sanjay Gupta, former business dean at Michigan State, was forced to resign over the controversy partially due to his failure to report Hadlock’s behavior under the university’s guidelines.

According to an <a href="https://statenews.com/article/2023/03/woodruff-business-dean-removal-was-about-more-than-mandatory-reporting-failure" target="_blank" rel="noopener">August 2022 letter</a> addressed to the Board of Trustees, Michigan State’s Interim President Teresa Woodruff stated, “(Gupta) said he indicated to Dr. Hadlock that ‘I must let you go.’ Dr. Gupta (later) said he did not do so because he thought Dr. Hadlock was resigning and leaving MSU.”

As of publication, the University of Pittsburgh has not released any information about their <a href="https://pittnews.com/article/179458/news/report-finds-pitt-business-professor-engaged-in-non-consensual-sexual-contact-at-previous-michigan-state-job/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investigation</a> into the hiring of Professor Hadlock.

<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/beth-hoffman-70b1b79a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beth Hoffman</a> is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Behavioral and Community Health Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh. According to her LinkedIn profile, Hoffman’s research examines “the influence of television on education and health promotion” and the “characteristics of those who express anti-vaccine sentiment on Facebook and the history of anti-vaccine rhetoric and protests.”

In July 2023, Hoffman led a study titled, “<a href="https://www.cureus.com/articles/157628-utilizing-television-clips-for-graduate-medical-education-anti-racist-curricula-an-acceptability-study?score_article=true#!/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Utilizing Television Clips for Graduate Medical Education Anti-Racist Curricula: An Acceptability Study</a>.” The introduction begins by stating:
“Systemic racism continues to be a major problem plaguing every facet of American life; healthcare is no exception. Centuries of discrimination toward Black Americans have resulted in less access to appropriate education, funding, and encouragement, preventing them from having equal access to medical education.” 
The writers say that “edutainment”, which involves the incorporation of educational content into entertainment content, is one tool that can be used to fix this systemic racism. They say previous research has used clips from shows such as ER, Grey’s Anatomy, and House M.D. to address issues such as “anti-obesity bias,” so they “hypothesized that it would be a useful tool in teaching about race bias and anti-racism.”

According to the paper, the four topics represented in each pair of clips shown to participants were “(1) health disparities and stigmatizing language, (2) physician becoming jaded about the role of the healthcare system in addressing racism, (3) bias in clinical care, and (4) tokenism and the minority tax.”

However, the researchers do recognize there <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/teach-anti-racism-to-med-students-with-greys-anatomy-study/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">could be some problems</a> with trying to train medical students with TV clips, saying:
“Despite the numerous possible advantages to an edutainment approach in anti-racism curricula, educators undertaking this work must also employ a framework of cultural competence to navigate potentially challenging and emotionally charged discussions that may follow edutainment clips that begin such discussions.
“With diverse groups of participants, educators facilitating discussion need to understand various perspectives, defuse conflict, and have a trauma-informed approach to racist and microaggressive comments.” 
The researchers conclude:
“Edutainment with medical television shows may be a promising avenue for anti-racist curricular content for residents. The educational methods described here are being incorporated into a multi-pronged, hospital system wide graduate medical education anti-racist curriculum.”

<a href="https://www.urbanstudies.pitt.edu/people/ant-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Paterson</a> is a Professor of Urban Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. His faculty profile states that he is “especially interested in historical approaches to the senses and space, including multisensory methodological approaches to the city, the use of wearable devices and videography.”

In a piece for <a href="https://theconversation.com/why-are-so-many-robots-white-213336" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Conversation</a>, titled “Why are so many robots white,” Paterson argued that robotic machines do not reflect “basic aspects of society’s diversity.”

Addressing the recent history of robots used for therapeutic purposes, Paterson questions the typical appearance of robots and why most of them are white. He asks,
“Why does <a href="https://robotsguide.com/robots/kaspar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kaspar</a>, designed to interact with children with autism, have rubber skin that resembles a white person’s? Why are <a href="https://robotsguide.com/robots/nao" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nao</a>, <a href="https://robotsguide.com/robots/pepper">Pepper</a> and <a href="https://robotsguide.com/robots/icub">iCub</a>, robots used in schools and museums, clad with shiny, white plastic?”
For Paterson, “human-machine interaction should be designed with diversity and inclusion in mind, according to engineers <a href="https://theconversation.com/building-machines-that-work-for-everyone-how-diversity-of-test-subjects-is-a-technology-blind-spot-and-what-to-do-about-it-174757" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tahira Reid and James Gibert</a>.”

In addition to changing the robotic aesthetic to be more ethnically diverse, Paterson believes there could also be improvements in "gestures and touch." He does not explain in the piece how this can be done, but believes that “such work” will “make human-robot interaction less scary and <a href="https://doi.org/10.1027/2151-2604/a000486" target="_blank" rel="noopener">uncann</a>y.” He concludes the piece with the following statement:
“Along with making robots less universally white and female, social scientists, interaction designers and engineers can work together to produce more <a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/17458927.2023.2179231">cross-cultural sensitivity in gestures and touch</a>, for example.”

She continued:
“And one of the central features of liberation at that time … was this collective resistance to colonial law [which was] meant to support and maintain colonists’ repressive drive for, among other things, exploited and exploitable labor forces. So, law[sic] was always the fascist marriage of globally militarized governments and capital or corporate interests.”

Princeton Bioethics Professor Peter Singer made headlines after sharing his views on sex acts with animals. On November 8, 2023, Singer shared what he called a “thought-provoking article” titled “<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mOOHWhgfENSAz-Bl7kQb9fPHHzRqh9Dm/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zoophilia Is Morally Permissible</a>.” Singer said that “[the article] challenges one of society's strongest taboos and argues for the moral permissibility of some forms of sexual contact between humans and animals.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Another thought-provoking article is "Zoophilia Is Morally Permissible" by Fira Bensto (pseudonym), which is just out in the current issue of <a href="https://twitter.com/JConIdeas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JConIdeas</a>.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The article Singer referred to states that “[s]ex with animals is a powerful social taboo that exposes its practitioners to utmost indignation and stigma.” The piece also claims, “Many people who have sex with animals do not strictly speaking have a zoophilic orientation, but use animals as surrogates for human sex partners.”
The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/11/11/lifestyle/princeton-professor-ignites-outrage-by-calling-journal-article-about-sex-with-animals-thought-provoking-someone-check-his-hard-drive/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> that Singer followed up his original post with an essay on Facebook where he clarified:
“I didn’t write the article on the permissibility of zoophilia [but] I am a co-editor for that journal. The fact that we judge an article worthy of publication does not indicate that I or my co-editors agree with the views contained in it…The Journal of Conversational Ideas is free and open access for everyone to read…
“Now imagine that you are an animal living with a person who cares for you and loves you in all the ways that most people love their companion animals, but in addition, this person sometimes has sexual contact with you, making sure that the contact does not hurt you, and leaving you free to move away if you don't like it…”

One commenter said Singer was “adopting the language of predator abusers, the same words used to dismiss and denigrate [rape] survivors.”

In a <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/peter-singer-compares-abortion-to-turning-off-a-computer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Review article</a> titled, “Peter Singer Compares Abortion to Turning Off a Computer,” the author writes, “To understand Singer’s perspective: He doesn’t believe that human life has moral value simply because he or she is human. Rather, value has to be earned, primarily be being self-aware or able to value life [sic]. He argues that self-aware entities are ‘persons’ —including some animals.”

National Review continued, “[Singer] also believes that non-self-aware beings—including human infants, unborn babies, and people who have serious dementia, persistent unconsciousness or minimal consciousness—are not persons. Non-persons, in his view, have lower moral value than persons and can be killed or used instrumentally for the benefit of persons…”

Peter Singer is a Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University. As a philosopher and self-identified “<a href="https://longtermrisk.org/hedonistic-vs-preference-utilitarianism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hedonistic utilitarian</a>,” Dr. Singer holds a number of controversial views on human and animal ethics. These include stances on abortion, euthanasia, and infanticide.

More than an advocate for abortion, Dr. Singer claims there is nothing inherently immoral about killing a child.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB5IZXGmk08&amp;feature=emb_title" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During a debate at Harvard University</a>, Dr. Singer recognized that fetuses in the womb are living human beings. However, he added people—including those not yet born—have varying degrees of value based on whether or not they feel pain.

He further claimed that only people who are fully conscious or feel pain have a right to their own lives. Abortion, he argued, cannot be considered immoral. Dr. Singer acknowledges that his stance presents a “challenging” problem regarding recently-born children.
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DB5IZXGmk08" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

Dr. Singer has also justified infanticide for babies who are disabled or have serious health conditions. In the 1979 edition of Practical Ethics, he wrote: “<a href="https://archive.org/details/practicalethics0000sing/page/n3/mode/2up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Killing a defective infant is not morally equivalent to killing a person. Sometimes it is not wrong at all</a>.”

Many have accused <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/human-exceptionalism/peter-singer-eugenicist-wesley-j-smith/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Singer of being sympathetic to eugenics</a> due to his apparent empathy towards parents who <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/human-exceptionalism/peter-singer-eugenicist-wesley-j-smith/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">select particular genes in human fetuses for more desirable children</a>.

During a 2015 radio interview, Dr. Singer argued that it was “reasonable” <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/ethics-professor-kill-severely-disabled-infants-under-obamacare/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to euthanize disabled infants to prevent higher premiums under Obamacare</a>. In a Q&amp;A hosted on his personal website, Dr. Singer <a href="https://petersinger.info/faq/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims that newborns are not persons as they have “no sense of the future</a>.”

“[Killing] a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person, that is, a being who wants to go on living.”

Dr. Singer added that although killing an infant is a “terrible thing to do,” parents should have the freedom to end the life of their newborn. He added that the presiding doctor would then take steps to “swiftly and humanely” end the child’s life.

According to his biography, Dr. Singer <a href="https://uchv.princeton.edu/people/peter-singer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has been teaching at Princeton since 1999</a>. He authored other books on utilitarianism, veganism, and animal liberation.

According to her University biography, Dr. Taylor is a scholar of racial inequity in public policymaking, and writes “extensively” about race, politics, and “radical activism.”

As a Professor and political commentator, Dr. Taylor offers her opinion across a wide variety of social media platforms and media outlets. She is known to condemn capitalism, the United States, and Israel while lauding socialism and the Soviet Union.

On her personal <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter account</a>, Dr. Taylor smears Israel as a racial, apartheid state that actively commits genocide against Arabs in the Middle East. In one tweet, she alleges that Israel is attempting to “annihilate” Palestine:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
The consequence of apartheid is not separation, it’s annihilation. End the occupation, free Palestine <a href="https://t.co/2jUOpL3oBq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/2jUOpL3oBq</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

In another post, she flagrantly alleges that Israel is engaged in the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and Gaza, despite the <a href="https://www.camera.org/article/methodist-staffer-demonizes-israel-reveals-ignorance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resident Arab population quadrupling since 1948</a>,
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
What we are witnessing is not the “eviction” of Palestinians from their homes. This is ethnic cleansing. This is the most basic expression of settler colonialism. This is the illegal and immoral expulsion of Palestinians with the expectation they are “accepted” elsewhere. <a href="https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Dr. Taylor likewise alleges the United States is a brutally racist and oppressive society. In an article for the Marxist publication, Jacobin,<a href="https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/05/reparations-slavery-racism-united-states-foundation" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> she depicts racism as foundational to the United States</a>.

A frequent critic of policing, which she views as systemic racism embedded in the United States, Dr. Taylor lauds the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as a “liberation struggle.” With communist, vice-presidential candidate, and Black Panther Party member, <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angeladavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angela Davis</a>, writing the forward, Dr. Taylor’s book—<a href="https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1646-from-blacklivesmatter-to-black-liberation-expanded-second-edition">From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation</a>—she praises the movement for having “awakened a new generation of activists” that will fight for “black liberation.”

BLM was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder.

Although later determined that Brown had attacked the officer, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hands-up-dont-shoot-makes-wapos-list-of-outlandish-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BLM was instrumental in spreading the lie</a> that Brown was shot at point-blank range with his hands raised.

In separate Twitter posts, Dr. Taylor has condemned capitalism as being inherently exploitative while promoting the merits of socialism.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Dr. Taylor’s positive view on socialism extends to the embrace of communist dictatorships. While attending the “This is Socialism!” conference in 2017, Dr. Taylor delivered a speech that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndSASqMLYMg&amp;ab_channel=WeAreManyMedia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">praised the Russian Revolution</a> for its inspiration towards American communists and "revolution" against capitalism.

Despite her praise, the Bolshevik Revolution and the resulting formation of the Soviet Union cost millions of lives. Upon overthrowing the Russian government in October 1917, Vladimir Lenin immediately set up <a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=lenin%27s+red+terror&amp;atb=v263-1&amp;ia=web" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a series of concentration camps for political prisoners and led the Soviet secret police in a brutal crackdown</a> known as the “Red Terror.” As many as one million people perished before the carnage ended with the cessation of the Russian Civil War in 1921.

Best was featured in a 2020 Princeton press release titled <a href="https://www.princeton.edu/news/2020/09/30/wallace-best-leads-program-gender-and-sexuality-studies-dynamic-new-era" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wallace Best leads the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies into a dynamic new era</a>. In the article, Best responds to questions regarding his experience with feminine studies. When asked, “What is the value of studying gender and sexuality studies in the current era in America?,” Best said:
“It’s interdisciplinary in that it’s connected to more historically formal disciplines like sociology, political science and religion, but draws each in robust and engaging ways. I think about what’s happening with the Black Lives Matter movement, for example. Some of that activist work is born from the scholarship within the intellectual orbit — scholars who have centered issues of gender and sexuality in its inextricable connection to race, class, location and ethnicity.” 
He continued,
“So, when I see those protests, I feel quite proud that some of what the leaders say is born from the discourses of feminism, Black feminism, queer studies, and from gender and sexuality studies. So, I would say this is one of the most exciting times to be involved in this field.”
Best also holds a Ph.D. in Religion. His areas of research and teaching include African American religious history, religion and literature, Pentecostalism, and Womanist theology. One course Best teaches, <a href="https://religion.princeton.edu/courses/spring-2022/black-women-and-spiritual-narrative" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Black Women and Spiritual Narrative</a>,” focuses on “the hypothesis that religious metaphor and symbolism have figured prominently in Black women’s writing across literary genres.” He’s currently working on a book entitled “The Spiritual Capital of Black America: Twentieth Century Harlem’s World of Religion and Churches.”

Anne McClintock is Princeton University’s <a href="https://gss.princeton.edu/people/anne-mcclintock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A. Barton Hepburn Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies</a>. She’s also an Affiliated Faculty for the Princeton Environmental Institute and Department of English and serves on the Executive Committee of the Program in American Studies.

McClintock’s faculty profile says her “interdisciplinary and transitional work — both scholarly and creative — explores the intersections between race, gender and sexualities; imperialism and globalization.” Her interests also include sexual and gender violence, climate chaos, and animal studies.

McClintock is the author of “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Imperial_Leather/wRwiAQAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Imperial Leather: Race, Gender and Sexuality in the Colonial Contest</a>.” The publisher notes that the book “chronicles the dangerous liaisons between gender, race and class that shaped British imperialism and its bloody dismantling.” In one chapter called The White Family of Man, she says,
“King Solomon’s Mines was [sic] intimately concerned with events in South Africa following the discovery of diamonds and then gold: specifically, the reordering of women’s sexuality and work in the African homestead and the diversion of black male labor into the mines.”
She continues, 
“The Story illuminates not only relations between the imperial metropolis and the colonies but also the refashioning of gender relations in South Africa, as a nascent capitalism penetrated the region and disrupted already contested power relations with the homesteads.”
In 2019, McClintock was among several Princeton faculty members who participated in a campus strike. <a href="https://paw.princeton.edu/article/princeton-students-faculty-join-community-climate-strike" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princeton Alumni Weekly</a> listed her as an event speaker in a protest to “demand climate justice.” That same year, she was also featured in The Nation’s article titled “<a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/princeton-students-are-sitting-in-for-title-ix-reform/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princeton Students are Sitting in for Title IX Reform</a>.” This protest was organized after “believe all women” posters appeared in campus bathrooms and “Title IX protects rapists” was graffitied on a walking path.

The introduction contains a section called Race as Technology where she states that technology is “designed to separate, stratify, and sanctify the many forms of injustice experienced by members of racialized groups, but one that people routinely reimagine and redeploy to other ends.”
<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-2358" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/PWL-QUOTES-12-e1665699428164-1024x407.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="254" />
In a <a href="https://youtu.be/rY8RkET3KC0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video discussing her reasons for writing</a> “Race After Technology,” Benjamin gave an example of how technology is racist. She said, “Two friends [were] using an automated soap dispenser and the soap wouldn’t come out [for] the individual with darker skin because darker skin absorbs light. So if it’s infrared technology, it’s not going to work as effectively.”

Professor Benjamin <a href="https://youtu.be/_8RrX4hjCr0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">also gave a Ted Talk</a> where she used laboratory and park benches to discuss how “the idea of discriminatory design is a global phenomenon.” She also says, “I think at the heart of discriminatory design is this idea that we can create technological fixes for social crises…we create short-term responses that often get the issues out of sight, out of mind.”

Gayle Salamon is a <a href="https://english.princeton.edu/people/gayle-salamon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of English and Gender and Sexuality Studies</a> at Princeton University. Salamon’s faculty profile says her research interests include phenomenology, feminist philosophy, queer and transgender theory, contemporary Continental philosophy, and disability studies.

In Salamon’s Introductory to Gender and Sexual Studies course, she tackles questions such as: “What does it mean to be a woman or a man? Or neither?” “How do gender and sexuality, those seemingly most personal and private of attributes, emerge from networks of power and social relations?”

Her published works include two manuscripts, <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Assuming_a_Body/s-idAwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=assuming+a+body&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Assuming a Body: Transgender and Rhetorics of Materiality,”</a>  and<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Life_and_Death_of_Latisha_King/bb84DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=the+life+and+death+of+latisha+king&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> “The Life and Death of Latisha King: A Critical Phenomenology of Transphobia."</a> She also published a peer-reviewed article titled <a href="https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/The-Meontology-of-Masculinity%3A-Notes-on-Castration-Salamon/3784451626c47802e5acd00654de96bf5a7f8222#paper-header" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Meontology of Masculinity: Notes on Castration Elation</a>. (Meontology is the philosophical study of non-being.)

In the Meontology of Masculinity abstract, Salamon cites LGBT “scholars” and says, “Gender is a matter of behavior, but also a result of ‘the more subtle channels of posture, carriage, gaze, and manner of leaning into some (more masculine) things away from other (more feminine) things.’ [Gender scholars] call for a phenomenology of lived gender experiences, to do justice to the variety of ways in which gender can be experienced and also perceived.”

In a <a href="https://thecriticallede.com/066-interview-with-gayle-salamon-author-of-assuming-a-body/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2012 podcast interview with The Critical Lede,</a> Salamon discussed her book “Assuming a Body.” In thinking about the idea of “a man trapped in a woman’s body, and a woman trapped in a man’s body,” she said, “I keep looking for a book that was going to engage both of those things at the same time…My hope was to try to bring together some of the ideas about how we come to inhabit our bodies [and] what is the relationship between the body that everybody else in the world sees and the body that I feel myself to have.”

Dr. Falk has labeled Israel a racist, apartheid state that’s committing an ongoing genocide. 

The term “apartheid” refers to the legal system of <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/apartheid/Opposition-to-apartheid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racial discrimination and separation in South Africa</a> from the 1950s to 1994. He has further alleged the true identity of the 9/11 hijackers has been covered up and blamed Israel for terrorist attacks in America. 

In an article titled, “<a href="http://www.oldsite.transnational.org/Area_MiddleEast/2007/Falk_PalestineGenocide.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Slouching toward a Palestinian Holocaust</a>,” Falk compares Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians to the extermination of the Jews in the Holocaust. He claims that Israel’s actions are “morally far worse” than the genocides committed in Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur.

Further in the article, Falk defends the terrorist organization Hamas as the duly elected representative of the Palestinian people. He claims the group has renounced violence and is willing to make peace with Israel. 

During a separate interview with DemocracyNow!, Falk praised the group for its “spirit of resistance” and again claimed that Hamas seeks “peaceful, co-existence with Israel.”

The organization is known to <a href="https://palwatch.org/page/18217" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deploy suicide bombers</a> and <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/05/prelude-to-war-palestinian-terrorists-fire-hundreds-of-rockets-at-israel-from-and-to-civilian-areas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fire rockets</a> that target civilian areas; Hamas is responsible for the deaths of <a href="https://www.fdd.org/in_the_news/2021/05/26/faq-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thousands of Israelis and at least 25 Americans</a>. 

Despite his views, Dr. Falk was chosen by the United Nations to serve as the Special Rapporteur on Palestinian Human Rights. From this position, he accused Israel of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in a report titled,”<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170316054753/https://www.unescwa.org/sites/www.unescwa.org/files/publications/files/israeli-practices-palestinian-people-apartheid-occupation-english.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Israeli Practices toward the Palestinian People and the Question of Apartheid.</a>” 

The report maligns Israel as a “racial state” that pursues “racial domination” and forcible displacement of the Palestinians. Falk recommends that Israel be investigated by the International Criminal Court and that international governments hold unilateral trials for Israeli officials. 

He urges businesses to boycott the state as part of the BDS campaign. BDS—short for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions—embraces the following three tenets as a feature of the campaign: 

- Boycotting all goods that originate from the state of Israel;

- Divesting all funds (private or public) that are allocated to Israel; and

- Placing sanctions exclusively on Israel. 

Following the publication of the document, Dr. Falk doubled down on his stance in an interview with The Forward, further calling for the <a href="https://forward.com/news/breaking-news/164986/richard-falk-calls-for-corporate-israel-boycott/#ixzz2APbfkSvl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boycott of any company</a> that does business in Israel:
“My main recommendation is that the businesses highlighted in the report – as well as the many other businesses that are profiting from the Israeli settlement enterprise – should be boycotted until they bring their operations into line with international human rights and humanitarian law and standards.” 
Elsewhere, Dr. Falk has <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2017/07/un-anti-israel-bias-richard-falk-pro-iran-9-11-truther-investigates-jewish-state/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disputed that Al-Qaeda is solely responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks</a>. In an interview on the site, Truth Jihad, he endorsed the idea the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/politics/special-rapporteur-for-911-truth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highjackings might have been a false-flag operation</a>. He further authored a blog post, “<a href="https://richardfalk.org/2013/04/19/a-commentary-on-the-marathon-murders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Commentary on the Marathon Murders</a>,” that blamed the Boston Bombings on the foreign policy of DC and Tel Aviv. 

Due to his views, Dr. Falk was <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2008/dec/19/israel-palestinian-territories-united-nations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned from Israel in 2008</a>. Although officially retired from teaching, he still holds the position of professor emeritus at Princeton.

His personal biography webpage states,

“Since his arrival in NYC, Nunez has supported and worked for different social causes, groups, and organizations for the rights of undocumented, disabled, indigenous, and LGBT+ people. He has been the Manager of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility for Dance/NYC…[and was] a core member of the Artists of Color Council at Movement Research.”

“Nunez [is the] Founder of the Accessibility Advisory Team (AAT), a group of disabled artists who advise Movement Research on accessibility and inclusion practices through its various departments and platform.”

Nunez teaches a course called “<a href="https://arts.princeton.edu/courses/introduction-to-radical-access-disability-justice-in-the-arts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Introduction to Radical Access: Disability Justice in the Arts.</a>”  The class introduction says, “Disability is front and center in a global social justice revolution…This course invites all artists, from choreographers to theater makers, filmmakers, visual artists, writers, and composers to immerse in a highly collaborative, improvisational, experimental and inclusive community to explore Disability Justice…”

<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/princeton-agender-and-neurodivergent-performer-flaunts-disability-and-anti-technique/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix reports</a>, “The ‘Intro to Radical Access’ Princeton Dance program and Program for Community Engaged Scholarship hosted [a] ‘anti-technique’ performance.” However, Catholic students were moved to pray against evil spirits after attending the controversial dance performance that featured Nunez and two other "disabled" artists.

Gabrie’l Atchison is the instructor for AAS 220/GSS 229: Body Politics: Black Queer Visibility and Representation at Princeton University. The <a href="https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?term=1234&amp;courseid=016604" target="_blank" rel="noopener">class description</a> states that the curriculum will “examine Black LGBTQ+ representation across various media including documentaries, television, social media, and literature.”

Atchison’s profile — which can only be found on the class description page — also shows her research “includes gender-based environmental violence, environmental racism/justice, ecofeminism, feminist/queer theology…Black church history…and African American women’s literary criticism.” 

Atchison contributes to a blog called <a href="https://www.antiracistdevotional.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racist Devotional</a>. On <a href="https://www.antiracistdevotional.org/dr-gabriel-atchison" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atchison’s About page</a> she describes herself as a “Black Feminist theologian” and the Congregational Development Director at Trinity Episcopal Church who researches “the role of the church in the racial identity development of Black Episcopalians.”

In her book titled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B6GQR4FJ/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0?asin=B0B6GQR4FJ&amp;revisionId=ca68030b&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Are You the Unchurched?: How to Develop an Authentic Relationship with God inside or outside the Church</a>,” Atchison remarked on survey results from a Christian research institute. She said,

“Overwhelmingly, young adults who were studied named hostility toward [LGBTQ+] people as the reason they do not attend church…Based on my understanding of the research, the unchurched are Christians who are:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">College-educated</li>

<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Progressive</li>

</ul>
In the opening paragraph of Atchison’s 2020 blog entry “<a href="https://gabrieljatchison.wordpress.com/2020/11/22/the-folly-of-hope/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Folly of Hope</a>,” she declared,


“Trump exposed all our fault lines due to systemic racism, class exploitation and greed. His initial election and very close re-election should act as a clarion call for us to enact sweeping and lasting social change…”

“Trump has no agenda, but his Puppet Masters do…This election exposed in a raw and unrelenting way, how many people in positions of power feel like people of color simply do not have the right to vote.”

Atchison goes on to identify herself as a “progressive [who finds] Joe Biden significantly inadequate for the task at hand.” She disagrees with any approach Biden may have to unite the nation and she believes the Democratic Party passed up “so many better qualified presidential candidates, with creative ideas…to elect a man whose platform is centrist and apolog[ist].”

<a href="https://history.princeton.edu/people/kevin-m-kruse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Kruse</a> is a Professor of History and the Director of the Center for Collaborative History at Princeton University. His faculty biography says Kruse “studies the political social, and urban/suburban history of 20th-century America.” He’s also “focused on conflicts over race, rights, and religion…[with] particular interests in segregation and the civil rights movement.”

Kruse has published several manuscripts including a 2005 book entitled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/White-Flight-Atlanta-Conservatism-Politics/dp/0691133867?asin=0691133867&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Flight: Atlanta and the Making of Modern Conservatism.</a>” Kruse introduces the novel by stating,

“This book explores the causes and course of white flight, with Atlanta serving as its vantage point…While many have assumed that white flight was little more than a literal movement of the white population, this book argues that it represented a much more important transformation in the political ideology of those involved.”

He continued,

“Because of their confrontation with the civil rights movement, white southern conservatives were forced to abandon their traditional, populist, and often starkly racist demagoguery and instead craft a new conservatism predicated on a language of rights, freedom, and individualism.”

In June 2022, <a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/double-standards-princeton-turns-blind-eye-to-plagiarism-from-woke-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Free Beacon</a> featured Kruse in an article titled “Double Standards: Princeton Turns Blind Eye to Plagiarism From Woke Professor.” According to the Beacon, “On December 6, the economic historian Phillip Magness emailed Princeton’s dean of faculty, Gene Jarrett, with evidence that [Kruse] plagiarized several passages of his 2015 book ‘One Nation Under God.’”

Magness cited passages of Kruse’s book as allegedly originating from a New York Times Article that was published in the mid-1960s. The Beacon said, “The university never replied to Magness’s email…and has not announced an investigation of Kruse.”

<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2022/08/kevin-kruse-plagiarism-allegations-academic-princeton-investigation-phillip-magness-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to the Daily Princetonian</a>, “Kruse expressed ‘surprise’ at the allegations and attributed the lack of citations in one instance to an inadvertent oversight.” Kruse also allegedly plagiarized a professor in his 2000 Cornell University doctoral thesis. The Princetonian quoted an email response from Kruse stating,

“‘While I indicated my intellectual debts to [author] Prof. Baylor else in the text, endnotes and bibliography of the dissertation, I was surprised to see that there was an instance in the introduction [where] I failed to do so properly.’”

<a href="https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2022/06/27/kevin-kruse-and-the-peak-political-plagiarism-scandal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Plagiarism Today said</a>, “Kruse is not your typical alleged plagiarist…Kruse has made a career for himself as an activist that corrects and criticizes right-wing talking points on history.

<a href="https://sociology.princeton.edu/people/frederick-wherry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frederick Wherry</a> is the Class of 1917 Professor of Sociology at Princeton University. In June 2022, he was named the inaugural vice dean for diversity and inclusion by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty.

Princeton’s Office of Communications <a href="https://www.princeton.edu/news/2022/06/30/wherry-appointed-vice-dean-diversity-and-inclusion-princetons-office-dean-faculty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published Wherry’s appointment</a> in an announcement wherein the university president said, “‘After spending time with Professor Wherry and learning more about the impact and interventions of his scholarship, [and] his profound commitment to educating our students…he struck me as the ideal colleague to augur our efforts in fulfilling the vision of the vice dean for diversity and inclusion.’”

In the same publication, Wherry said,

“‘Diversity and inclusion are critical to our core mission. When our faculty and academic professionals can participate fully in our shared endeavor, we are all able to see problems in new ways, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, making way for innovation.’”

As the Director of the <a href="https://www.dignityanddebt.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Digntiy and Debt Network</a>, Wherry leads an organization of “experts” who research concepts of “dignity, respect, and fairness” in lending and debt collection. The organization studies debt along racial and socio-economic lines and states one of its goals is “to change the conversation about credit and debt among those measuring financial access and wellness…[b]y developing novel visualizations of dignity and debt…”

Wherry is in favor of canceling student loan debt. He believes borrowers are “victims” while lenders are “perpetrators.”

Wherry participated in a panel discussion called “<a href="https://youtu.be/DP7SK_-fXA8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Native Son: Black Gay Leadership Forum</a>” to discuss ideas on wealth creation, social justice, and trauma within communities. When asked about the aspiration of building assets and stronger economic futures among black and gay people, Wherry stated,

“One of the things we have to keep in mind when building assets is that they look different for our community in part because we have a positive effect on our social networks and building assets. People help us out, sometimes we get that ‘white glove treatment’ by virtue of folks who can tell us how to most effectively take advantage of an opportunity when it arises.”

He continued,

“At the same time, we have to be realistic…our social networks also can deplete some of those traditional forms of asset building…When we are providing financial assistance to our kinfolk — when you compare us to our white counterparts, who don’t have the same kinds of requests coming in at the same level of occupation, at the same level of academic achievement — we just have less available for traditional asset-building.”

<a href="https://nes.princeton.edu/people/satyel-larson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Satyel Larson</a> is an Assistant Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University. Larson’s areas of instruction are “Anthropology,” “Law and society,” “The Maghreb” and “Women, gender and sexuality.” Her faculty profile says:
“Her research and teaching lie at the intersections of law, science, technology and society; women, gender and sexuality; reproduction, health and medicine; Islam and secularism; colonialism, postcolonialism and globality; historical anthropology and epistemology; political economy; and language, discourse and narrative.”
Larson <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/princeton-anti-capitalist-class-teaching-black-people-considered-handicapped-systemic-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made headlines</a> for reportedly teaching a course “that claims black people can be considered disabled due to the purported systemic racism they face.” Princeton’s Undergraduate Courses-Fall 2023 <a href="https://nes.princeton.edu/courses">schedule</a> lists Larson as the instructor for “The Healing Humanities: Decolonizing Trauma Studies from the Global South.” The course description says the course:
“Introduces the transdisciplinary field of trauma studies by examining visions of humanity…Reorienting healing as a decolonizing process enables students to re-politicize personal trauma as it intersects with global legacies of violence, war, racism, slavery, patriarchy, colonialism, orientalism, homophobia, ableism, capitalism and extractivism.”

<a href="https://psych.princeton.edu/people/kristina-olson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kristina Olson</a> is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Princeton University. Her faculty profile says:
“I study how children think about social groups, like those based on race and gender. Much of my most recent work has focused on sex and gender-diverse children with ongoing longitudinal projects exploring gender development and well-being in transgender, gender nonconforming and intersex children.”
In 2019, Olson<a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1909367116" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> co-authored a study</a> entitled “Similarity in transgender and cisgender children’s gender development.” In the study “Abstract,” Olson, et al. conclude, “Our findings suggest that early sex assignment and parental rearing based on that sex assignment do not always define how a child identifies or expresses gender later.”

The study goes on to state that “young transgender children are different from their cisgender peers in their unique gender socialization experience, having lived part of their childhoods treated as members of one gender (before transitioning) and part of their childhoods treated as members of another gender (after transitioning).”

Olson <a href="https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/150/2/e2021056082/186992/Gender-Identity-5-Years-After-Social-Transition?autologincheck=redirected">co-authored another study</a> on the effects of socially transitioning after five years. The study’s “methods” are based on data from the Trans Youth Project (TYP)—powered by Princeton University’s HUman[sic] Diversity Lab. The Lab reported data on 208 transgender girls and 109 transgender boys between ages 3 and 12 who had “made a ‘complete’ binary social transition.”

Notably, Olson is listed as the director of the HUman Diversity Lab <a href="https://hudl.princeton.edu/people" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on the “People” page</a>. 

In the study “Gender Identity 5 Years After Social Transition,” Olson, et al. wrote:
“As part of the larger longitudinal study, parents and youth were regularly asked about whether they had begun using puberty blockers and/or gender-affirming hormones…they were not asked about whether puberty had begun, though our available data suggests that…most participants were followed by an endocrinologist well before puberty began.”
In a discussion of the study’s findings, Olson, et al. concluded that “Five years after an initial binary social transition, 7% of youth had retransitioned at least once…Among those who had begun puberty blockers and/or gender-affirming hormones, only 1 had transitioned to live as cisgender…” 

However, Olson et al. admit in the study that they “did not assess whether participants met criteria for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth edition, diagnosis of gender dysphoria in children” and further stated that “many parents did not believe such diagnoses were either ethical or useful…”

Olson told <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/04/health/transgender-children-identity.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>:
“There’s this sort of idea that the kids are going to start [transitioning] and that they’re going to change their minds…And at least in our sample, we’re not finding that.”

The 2015 article details how students protested to have Wilson’s name completely removed from the college. 

Cole’s profile also says, "Like Wilson, Andrew is from Georgia, but unlike Wilson, he works against these pernicious legacies of racism in his teaching, writing, and activism."

Cole is one of 19 professors to form Princeton’s first Faculty for Justice in Palestine group.

<a href="https://aas.princeton.edu/people/eddie-s-glaude-jr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eddie Glaude Jr.</a> is a Professor in the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University. In April 2023, Glaude <a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2023/04/african-american-studies-department-princeton-university-glaude-eddie-stepping-down-chair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that he would step down from his position as chair of the Department of African American Studies at Princeton.

Glaude is the author of several race-focused publications, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Democracy-Black-Still-Enslaves-American/dp/1522634940?asin=0804137439&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">including a book</a> entitled, “Democracy in Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul.” In the introduction, Glaude wrote:
“This book details what I call the Great Black Depression, and shows how the current rhetoric of economic recovery does not include the majority of black communities in this country. It challenges the pervasive silence about the crisis in black communities and puts forward an idea of American democracy shorn of its racist baggage.”
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Exodus-Religion-Nation-Nineteenth-Century-America/dp/0226298205/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1AHS2LRZ49TN3&amp;keywords=Exodus%21+Religion%2C+race+and+nation+in+Early+19th+century+black+america&amp;qid=1707509859&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=exodus+religion%2C+race+and+nation+in+early+19th+century+black+america%2Cstripbooks%2C121&amp;sr=1-1&amp;asin=0226298205&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In his novel</a> titled “Exodus! Religion, Race, and Nation In Early 19th Century Black America,” Glaude compares the plight of African Americans to biblical accounts of Jews gaining freedom from slavery in Egypt. Glaude said his rendition explores “the ways the story became a source for a particular use of nation language among African Americans as well as a metaphorical framework for understanding the middle passage, enslavement, and quests for emancipation.”

<a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/liberal-prof-slams-conservatives-nyt-op-ed-calling-it-insidious-and-venomous/23785" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a> featured Glaude in an article highlighting his online altercation with journalist Christopher Rufo. The heated discussion, which took place over Twitter, included Glaude calling Rufo’s work “insidious” and labeling Rufo a racist.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Princeton professor calls my support for colorblind equality “venomous” and “insidious.”
But the choice is simple: we can have equality, in which individuals are held to a single standard; or we can have equity, in which individuals are rewarded or punished based on their race. <a href="https://t.co/BJZ1ekGn7c">https://t.co/BJZ1ekGn7c</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Glaude also tweeted his thoughts after SCOTUS overturned affirmative action in June 2023.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Imagine this: my mother and father couldn’t attend Princeton or Ole Miss (I group in Mississippi), because of long-standing discriminatory practices. The civil rights movement happens. Doors are opened. Colleges and universities are somewhat integrated 1/
