<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/abby-schrader.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abby M. Schrader</a> is a Professor of History and the Department Chair of History at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. Her university profile states that she specializes in Russian literature. Additionally, she writes: 
“At F&amp;M, my teaching reflects my interests in Russian/Soviet and 18th- and 19th-century European history. I incorporate issues related to culture (including literary and visual culture), gender and sexuality, politics broadly conceived, and social trends in all of my courses.”  
Schrader was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”
Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 
Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”
The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”
The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 
They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/stephanie-mcnulty.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephanie McNulty</a> is the Honorable and Mrs. John C. Kunkel Professor of Government at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. McNulty’s university profile states she is a “Latin Americanist with expertise in participatory governance, gender, decentralization, and development.”

In March 2021, McNulty co-authored an <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2021/03/12/colleges-must-acknowledge-challenges-facing-female-academics-who-juggle-work-and#.YHTMhYqX9L4.link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> about the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on equity. The authors put forth the following goal to resolve what they deem to be the lessening of diversity and equity caused by COVID-19:
“For starters, every institution must acknowledge the problem and openly address what can appear invisible and ignored to those of us living in this reality. The academy risks emerging from this pandemic with less diversity and gender equity than before unless we change course. The first step is initiating a conversation and listening. Once people have a space to talk openly about their challenges, a lot of problem solving and solutions naturally emerge.”\

According to the same profile, Dicklitch-Nelson is also “the founder and Principal Investigator (PI) of the <a href="https://www.fandmglobalbarometers.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">F&amp;M Global Barometers,</a>which include the F&amp;M Global Barometer of Gay RightsTM (F&amp;M GBGR) and the F&amp;M Global Barometer of Transgender RightsTM (F&amp;M GBTR). The F&amp;M Global Barometers are part of the LGBTI Global Human Rights Initiative.”  

Moreover, Dicklitch-Nelson “launched the <a href="https://www.lgbtqiperceptionindex.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LGBTQI Perception Index</a>: the first-ever global survey that seeks to shed light on the lived human rights realities of LGBTQI individuals in 204 countries. The LGBTQI Perception Index will complement the <a href="https://www.fandmglobalbarometers.org/summit-for-democracy-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LGBTQI Human Rights Report Cards</a> that were prepared for the <a href="https://www.state.gov/summit-for-democracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White House Summit for Democracy</a>.”

Dicklitch-Nelson was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”

Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

Moore was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”

Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

Her list of courses taught includes “Microeconomics for Public Policy” and “Economics of the Public Sector.” She also served as Chief Economist of the United States Department of Labor from 2010 to 2011.

In 2018, Stevenson partnered with <a href="https://jdp.princeton.edu/people/hanna-zlotnick" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hannah Zlotnick</a> to research gender ratios in economic textbooks. The university <a href="https://fordschool.umich.edu/news/2018/econ-textbook-study-stevenson-zlotnick-highlights-gender-bias-against-women" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an article</a> — titled “Econ textbook study by Stevenson, Zlotnick highlights gender bias against women” — that said: 

“The work, which has already garnered significant media attention, exposes an underrepresentation of women in American economics textbooks. Stevenson contends that remedying this issue could be key in closing the field’s stubborn gender gap … Excluding economists from their analysts, Steven and Zlotnick found that 70 percent of people referenced were men.”

The publication <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tIVrw2di5wqiMjoZTp0VDpLrBgwqQWja/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">linked to a textbook presentation</a> authored by Stevenson and Zlotnick. A few examples are found below.

When asked why he did not include #FreetheJews on that list, Davis replied: 
“Well, I guess we could talk about in a particular context, and I think we have to think about what Jews we’re talking about. I’ve chosen to take those particular political stances based on the historical record, based on the social and political context that we find ourselves in today …

For years, Davis’ <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hfdavis/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">social media</a> feeds have been full of racial ideology as well as anti-Jewish and anti-police rhetoric. Using the <a href="https://twitter.com/hfdavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter handle</a> “Palestine Will Be Free,” he also posted support for the pro-Palestinian campus protests that started in April 2024.

When asked if he wanted to “eliminate whiteness,” Davis said, “I want to destroy whiteness to be more specific.” When asked to define whiteness, he declared:
“Whiteness is an ideological construct … it’s a set of behaviors, beliefs, and practices that not only normalize the white way of seeing the world but white way of doing society. That structure has proven to be violent towards people of color … 
“So, I think that needs to be destroyed in order for the liberation of the people of color from white supremacy to take place. Now, to be sure, that is not to conflate whiteness with white people — although all white people do benefit from whiteness.”

Charles H.F. Davis is an Assistant Professor at the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education at the University of Michigan. He previously taught at the University of Southern California. According to his university biography, Davis’s research and teaching focuses on, “race and racism, systems of oppression, and structures of domination in U.S. higher education and its social contexts.”

Davis previously rose to notoriety in 2017 for a series of <a href="https://twitter.com/hfdavis?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">racially inflammatory tweets</a>. As reported by <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/usc-professor-defends-tweet-promoting-violence-whiteness/">The College Fix</a>, he tweeted that “whiteness” must be destroyed and alluded to the necessity of violence in confronting it.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1308 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-04-21T135205.941-e1619038447297-1024x278.png" alt="" width="580" height="157" />

The background photo of his Twitter account at the time featured a black woman pointing a gun at a pig that clearly represents a caricature of a police officer. 

When contacted <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/usc-professor-defends-tweet-promoting-violence-whiteness/">The College Fix</a> over his remarks, Davis responded, “To be clear, I am decidedly against whiteness as a social and political ideology, which systematically marginalize and disenfranchise people of color from opportunities for societal advancement. In addition, I am against the institution of policing, which has historically and continuously enacted racial terror, sexual violence, and economic exploitation against racial minorities, women and LGBTQ communities, and economically disadvantaged working-class people.”

When asked if any of these tweets might make students uncomfortable, Davis <a href="http://hfdavis.com/blog/an-interview-with-a-conservative">responded</a> that any discomfort experienced by his white students is a result of their “white fragility.” 

Davis had previously advocated for the right of students to disrupt conservative speakers on campus. In the wake of <a href="https://badgerherald.com/news/2016/11/17/conservative-pundit-ben-shapiro-lectures-to-turbulent-crowd-on-safe-spaces-freedom-of-speech/">protesters heckling</a> Ben Shapiro’s lecture at the University of Wisconsin Madison, school regents approved a <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-university-of-wisconsin-protest-punishment-20171006-story.html">policy</a> to suspend or expel students that purposefully disrupt events. Davis’s subsequent <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-university-of-wisconsin-protest-punishment-20171006-story.html">op-ed</a> at Inside Higher Ed argued that this only reinforced white supremacy: “To be clear, it is a decision that reinforces institutionalized white supremacy -- and other oppressive forms of systemic power.” Davis argues that conservative speakers like Shapiro have hijacked the First Amendment to push “white supremacist agendas.”  

Davis’s website, which is listed by the University of Michigan on his biography, <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/51ab9fa0e4b06a38e604420a/t/5edaf71d1ab0434751b2e960/1591408468354/HF+Davis+%E2%80%93%C2%A0EPK.pdf">advertises </a>that he has taught the issues of “ race, racism, and systemic oppression in education and society” to over “7,000 students, educators and institutional leaders.” The <a href="http://hfdavis.com/">home page</a> of the site also features links to organizations that advocate for the Black Lives Matter movement, abolishing the police, and boycotting the nation of Israel.

<a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/ac/people/faculty/jchl.html">John Cheney-Lippold</a> is an Associate Professor at the University of Michigan whose work focuses on Internet Studies, Cultural Studies, and Algorithm Studies.

Lippold made<a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=11317"> headlines</a> for his blatant discrimination against a pro-Israel student at Michigan. After agreeing to the initial request, he refused to write a letter of recommendation for her to study abroad in Israel due to his adherence to the academic boycott of the nation. In a now released email exchange, Lippold replied to the student’s request:

“As you may know, many university departments have pledged an academic boycott against Israel in support of Palestinians living in Palestine. This boycott includes writing letters of recommendations for students to study there.” 

In a<a href="https://nypost.com/2018/09/20/professor-draws-ire-after-declining-to-help-student-study-in-israel/"> statement</a> released by <a href="https://palestinelegal.org/">Palestine Legal</a>, he only proceeded to double-down and even compared Israel to Apartheid-era South Africa:

“I support the Palestinian boycott call because I am appalled at Israel’s continuing violation of Palestinian rights, and our government’s support for those violations...If a student had wanted to do a study abroad at an institution in Apartheid South Africa, I would have declined to write a letter for her as well.”

Professor Silke-Maria Weineck wrote a September 6, 2022, op-ed for The Chronicle of Higher Education titled <a href="https://archive.ph/GBDq6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Colleges Must Stop Trying to Appease the Right.”</a> The article begins by criticizing a university dean who had a conversation with a professor after a parent complained about one of the professor’s tweets. Weineck calls on her peers to stand up to Republicans, writing:
“Under the circumstances, it is not merely acceptable to denounce the GOP - clearly, loudly, profanely. It is our ethical and professional duty.” 
She goes on to say that the Republican Party has a “longstanding contempt for knowledge and expertise” in the fields of “history, public health, climate change, or ecology.”

She argues that colleges have an obligation to protect their faculty, staff, and students, saying:
“They must clearly insist on our people’s right not to be forced into pregnancy, not to be demeaned or disadvantaged due to their sexual orientation or gender identity, and to have all of their histories studied and told.” 
She finishes her opinion piece by quoting Ohio Republican Senate candidate J.D. Vance when he said that “professors are the enemy.” Weineck responds: “He is correct. He is our enemy, and we must be his. I welcome his hatred. As a modest start, I suggest that we no longer respond to Republicans who complain about professional tweets with anything other than a short form letter. I would be happy to draft it.”

This is not Weineck’s first anti-Republican opinion piece. In May 2021, she wrote another op-ed for The Chronicle of Higher Education titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210520190416/https://www.chronicle.com/article/the-tenure-denial-of-nikole-hannah-jones-is-craven-and-dangerous" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Tenure Denial of Nikole Hannah-Jones is Craven and Dangerous.”</a> She argues that Nikole Hannah-Jones was denied tenure at the University of North Carolina because of Republicans and the “governors and trustees within the UNC system in particular.” She writes:
“Universities hire faculty members who work on the history of racism and share Hannah-Jones’s broad convictions and investments all the time, and regents, trustees, and governors do not get involved. Nikole Hannah-Jones is different because she drove the conversation into places where it could not be belittled or contained.” 
Dr. Weineck believes <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hannah-Jones</a> is overqualified for tenure, saying: “The woman has a Pulitzer Prize and a MacArthur grant, and she spearheaded what is probably the most effective public-history effort in the history of the country, “The 1619 Project.””

The 1619 Project, originally a series of essays published in the New York Times and later developed into a book, “aims to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of our national narrative.” It argues that America was not founded in 1776 but in 1619, when the first enslaved Americans were brought to the Virginia colony, now the state of Virginia.

Weineck states that: “across the country, the GOP and its lickspittles have decided, in part precisely because of the success of “The 1619 Project,” that the correct way to address systemic racism is not only to deny its existence but to legally mandate this denial.” She argues that “universities are imperfect institutions, far more conservative than their reputation, and not nearly the force for good they imagine themselves to be.”

<a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/soc/people/faculty/erin-cech.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Erin Cech</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Associate Professor by courtesy in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan.

Professor Cech authored a study titled “<a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abo1558" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The intersectional privilege of white able-bodied heterosexual men in STEM</a>.” In this paper, she <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-studies-intersectional-privilege-of-white-able-bodied-heterosexual-men-in-stem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">compared the experiences of “white able-bodied heterosexual men (WAHM)”</a> in the STEM fields to 31 other intersectional groups. Her study concludes that “...members of all other 31 intersectional groups experience significantly less social inclusion in their STEM jobs on average than WAHM experience….”

In a <a href="https://news.umich.edu/privileges-confirmed-for-straight-white-men-working-in-stem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan News</a> press release, Cech said: “The findings show the importance of encouraging white men to recogize the privileges they may have access to, and commit to serving as allies to fight for change at the organizational and structural level.”
“It is everyone’s responsibility - advantaged and disadvantaged alike - to fight for more equitable climates and practices in STEM.”  
Cech wrote a study in June 2017 titled “<a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2378023117712395" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rugged Meritocratists: The Role of Overt Bias and the Meritocratic Ideology in Trump Supporters’ Opposition to Social Justice Efforts</a>.” Her work aimed to determine “whether and why Trump supporters are more likely than other Americans to oppose social justice efforts.”

She concludes that “Trump supporters are indeed more opposed to social justice efforts.” She says that Trump supporters “express greater overt race, class, and gender bias, yet this bias does not explain their opposition”:
“Rather, many Trump supporters are “rugged meritocratists” who oppose these efforts because they believe U.S. society is already fair. To expand support for social justice efforts, rugged meritocratists must first be convinced that systemic inequalities still exist.”

<a href="https://soe.umich.edu/directory/faculty-staff/deborah-loewenberg-ball" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deborah Loewenberg Ball</a> is the William H. Payne Collegiate Professor of Education and former dean of the School of Education at the University of Michigan. According to her university profile, Ball says her research focuses on “leveraging the power of teaching to disrupt racism, marginalization, and inequity.”

Bell was featured in a July 2021 episode of the <a href="https://gsehd.gwu.edu/edfix-ts-ep23" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EdFix Podcast</a>, where she argued that mathematics is racist. She claims that math is a “Harbor for whiteness” and said,
“...what’s also very difficult is to get people to see how the very nature of the knowledge and who’s produced it, and what has counted as Mathematics is itself also dominated by whiteness and by racism.” 
To provide an example of this racism, she states:
“This is really important because we do see patterns about who succeeds in Math in this country and it’s overwhelmingly white and Asian. It’s overwhelmingly still male once you get on with Mathematics.” 
She continues:
“So how about noticing that and being willing to open ourselves up to the question of how racism has permeated Mathematics and the way it’s represented in school and take the time to unfold that and to figure out what that would mean for looking at a better way of a curriculum and the pedagogy of Math in school.” 
Professor Ball wrote a March 2021 op-ed for the Detroit Free Press titled, <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/opinion/contributors/2021/03/21/why-school-isnt-safe-place-every-child/6937638002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Why school isn’t a safe place for every child.”</a> In this article, she argues that schools are often unsafe for children of color and that COVID provided an opportunity for “many Black and Brown children to be out of the white gaze of punishment and deficit views” which “was a welcome respite from fear and control.”

She also argues that the curriculum in schools has been “unsafe,” writing:
“The images, knowledge, people and values that permeate history, science and art, as well as mathematics, language and text are harmful. They distort the experiences of Indigenous people, of Black communities and of immigrant groups. They reinscribe whiteness, heteronormativity and English as normal and desirable.” 
She concludes her op-ed by stating that schools need to “take a fuller view of the safety needed to dismantle anti-Blackness and white supremacy in our educational systems” as students and staff return to in-person schooling.

<a href="https://michigan.law.umich.edu/faculty-and-scholarship/our-faculty/barbara-l-mcquade" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barbara McQuade</a> is a professor at the University of Michigan Law School. According to her university profile, her interests include criminal law, criminal procedure, national security, data privacy, and civil rights. She was appointed by President Obama and served as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan from 2010 to 2017.

McQuade has been outspoken about her belief that former President Trump should be charged with manslaughter for the events that took place on January 6, 2021. On July 16, she wrote an op-ed for MSNBC titled, <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/did-trump-commit-manslaughter-jan-6-committee-doj-should-find-n1297314" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The case for charging Trump with manslaughter.”</a>

In this article, McQuade argues that the “loss of life was predictable in light of the size of the mob, their emotional state and their use of force.” She believes Trump knew the crowd was armed and said, “Unlike most members of the public who have no duty to take action to prevent a crime, a president has a constitutional duty to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.””

She concludes her comments by writing:
“Donald Trump once said he could “stand in the middle [of] Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody” and not lose any voters. Can he also cause the deaths of five people and not lose his liberty?” 
She tweeted a link to her op-ed on October 25, 2022 with the caption, “Here is my analysis of involuntary manslaughter charges for Trump. This theory is probably a bridge too far for DOJ, but failing to a [sic] call off the mob when he knew they were armed and angry makes the resulting deaths at the Capitol reasonably forseeable.”

In an <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/america-s-gun-infatuation-threat-supreme-court-could-make-it-n1283362" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MSNBC op-ed,</a> she wrote “America’s infatuation with guns is a national security threat.” She states: “I was one of 30 former national security officials to sign on to an amicus brief arguing that unrestricted access to concealable firearms poses a great threat to public safety.” She ended the piece by claiming, “...like all rights, those described in Second Amendment are not absolute.”

In a TIME article, titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220204035713/https://time.com/6122142/kyle-rittenhouse-verdict/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Kyle Rittenhouse Verdict Makes Us All Less Safe,”</a> she poses the question:
“Looking at this case broadly, how can it be that our laws permit a teenager to escape criminal liability after he travels from out of state to a scene of civil unrest, violates a curfew specifically designed to keep people off the streets, and ostentatiously carries with him an assault weapon that results in deadly harm?” 
She goes on to argue that Rittenhouse will become the “poster boy for right-wing extremists and politicians.” She justifies this statement by saying, “Rep. Matt Gaetz has already stated that Rittenhouse would make a good congressional intern.”

She claims the Rittenhouse verdict will “be a larger message to society that we should embrace vigilante justice” and will “promote irresponsible use of assault weapons under the banner of the Second Amendment.” Therefore, she believes the verdict makes everyone “less safe.”

<a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/content/michigan-lsa/wgs/en/people/core-faculty/akirklan.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anna Kirkland</a>, J.D., Ph.D., is the Kim Lane Scheppele Collegiate Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Michigan. She also served as the Director of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) from 2017 to 2022.

Professor Kirkland is very outspoken about her pro-choice beliefs. In response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, she was featured in a <a href="https://news.umich.edu/supreme-court-overturns-roe-v-wade-u-m-experts-available-to-discuss/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Michigan News</a> article titled “Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade: U-M experts available to discuss.”

She stated that “abortion access is about to be dramatically restricted across large swaths of the United States.” She said that people will be forced “to give birth against their will” and that some “will die from pregnancy complications.” She added:
“This is by far the most radical right-wing majority we have ever seen on the Supreme Court, and so I am wondering whether and when they will take further steps like declaring that a fetus is a person, making all abortions illegal no matter what the state would like to do, or removing rights of access to same-sex marriage or contraception.” 
Kirkland has also been outspoken about her beliefs that everyone should get the COVID vaccine. In a Michigan Advance article titled, <a href="https://michiganadvance.com/2021/03/02/how-the-anti-covid-vaccine-movement-mobilized-in-michigan-before-anyone-ever-got-their-first-shot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“How the anti-COVID vaccine movement mobilized in Michigan before anyone ever got their first shot,”</a> she states:
“I do see some new things [about the anti-vaccine movement], and that is the move from a feminized, mother-focused, natural living focus to this highly masculinized, anti-mask, gun rights mobilization.”
She further argued that the anti-vaccine movement has an “inner core that’s probably realistically unreachable” and is dominated by “overwhelming whiteness” and “fundamentally led by the right-wing.”

<a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/hssp/people/professional---office-staff/lhharris.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lisa Harris</a> is the F. Wallace and Janet Jeffries Collegiate Professor of Reproductive Health, and Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Michigan. According to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/post-roe-task-force-launched-by-university-of-michigan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a>, Harris is also the medical director for a regional Planned Parenthood.

Dr. Harris performs late-term abortions in which the baby is brutally dismembered. <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/abortionist-lisa-harris-dismembering-sad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Live Action</a> reports that in an article written for <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18772087/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reproductive Health Matters</a>, Dr. Harris recounts performing an abortion while pregnant with her own daughter. She writes:
“[I] was more interested than usual in seeing the fetal parts when I was done, since they would so closely resemble those of my own fetus. I went about doing the procedure as usual, removed the laminaria I had placed earlier and confirmed I had adequate dilation. I … picked up my forceps and began to remove the fetus in parts, as I always did. I felt lucky that this one was already in the breech position - it would make grasping small parts (legs and arms) a little easier.” 
“With my first pass of the forceps, I grasped an extremity and began to pull it down. I could see a small foot hanging from the teeth of my forceps. With a quick tug, I separated the leg. Precisely at that moment, I felt a kick - a fluttery “thump, thump” in my own uterus. It was one of the first times I felt fetal movement. There was a leg and foot in my forceps, and a “thump, thump” in my abdomen. Instantly, tears were streaming from my eyes … Doing second trimester abortions did not get easier after my pregnancy; in fact, dealing with little infant parts of my born baby only made dealing with dismembered fetal parts sadder.” 
In a <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/abortionist-lisa-harris-dismembering-sad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video recorded at the National Abortion Federation convention</a>, Dr. Harris was asked a question from a pro-choice activist about pictures of aborted babies. She responded:
“[I] actually think that we should be less about denying the reality of those images. More about acknowledging, that yeah, that’s kind of true. … we might actually both agree that there’s violence in here, ask me why I come to work every day. Let’s just give them all, the violence, it’s a person, killing - let’s just give them all that.” 
In June 2022, the University of Michigan announced the <a href="https://record.umich.edu/articles/university-creates-task-force-to-focus-on-abortion-access/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">creation of a task force to focus on abortion access.</a> Dr. Harris, who will co-chair the group, said in a press release that she is concerned about an increased birthrate in the post-Roe era:
“We can also expect to see an increase in the birthrate in the state - some estimates are as high as a 17% increase - and it is not clear that we or others have capacity to manage a dramatic shift like this.”

<a href="https://www.si.umich.edu/people/oliver-haimson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oliver Haimson</a> is an Assistant Professor of Information at the University of Michigan. According to his university biography, he conducts “social computing research focused on envisioning and designing trans technologies, social media content moderation and marginalized populations, and changing identities on social media during life transitions.”

In 2021, Haimson was the lead author of a study that looked at what types of social media users have “content and accounts removed more frequently than others.” The results showed three types of users have <a href="https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3479610" target="_blank" rel="noopener">content removed more frequently than others</a>: political conservatives, transgender people, and black people. However, Haimson concludes:
“Conservative participants’ removals often involved harmful content removed according to site guidelines to create safe spaces with accurate information, while transgender and Black participants’ removals often involved content related to expressing their marginalized identities that was removed despite following site policies or fell into content moderation gray areas.” 
Haimson was quoted in a November 2022 article titled, <a href="https://www.them.us/story/elon-musk-twitter-right-wing-death-spiral" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“After Two Weeks, Elon Musk’s Twitter Is Already in a Right-Wing Death Spiral.”</a> He alleged conservative users “tend to post more hate speech and misinformation” than other users and claims:
“Trans and queer people face substantial levels of online harassment. In the absence of well-enforced moderation policies that consider the unique challenges that trans people encounter online, harassment is likely to increase and make the site uninhabitable for many trans users.” 
Professor Haimson was also <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14680777.2019.1678505" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outspoken on Tumblr’s 2018 decision to ban nudity</a> and “adult” content. He argued Tumblr had been a trans technology because it “allowed erotic content needed for intersectional trans community building.” After Tumblr’s policy change, Haimson stated: “Tumblr’s ban sent a clear signal to trans communities that they were no longer welcome.”

Haimson is also a <a href="https://www.appliedtransstudies.org/about/fellows" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senior Fellow at the Center for Applied Transgender Studies (CATS)</a>, “the leading academic organization dedicated to scholarship on the social, cultural, and political conditions of transgender lives.” According to the <a href="https://www.appliedtransstudies.org/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">center’s website</a>, their mission is to inform “policy-making and public discourse in ways that improve quality of life for the transgender community.”

According to her university profile, her research focuses on “critical algorithm studies and cultural studies of race, gender, popular culture and identity in digital spaces.”

Professor Williams is outspoken about her disdain for white women. In an article for The Guardian titled <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/27/karen-race-white-women-black-americans-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The year of Karen: how a meme changed the way Americans talked about racism,”</a> she wrote: “We as a culture have adopted this stance that white women are more virtuous and not complicit in upholding racism in particular.” She then provides guidelines for how white women can “avoid being a Karen:”
-”Recognize the privilege and history of being a white woman in this society”
-”Avoid calling the police on people of color unless someone is in imminent danger of harm”
-”Understand that it’s just not always about you, period. People are not out to get you for the most part, people are not trying to hurt you or harm your property or make you uncomfortable. You’re not that special, Karen. You’re not that special.” 
Williams authored a paper titled, <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2056305120981047" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Black Memes Matter: #LivingWhileBlack With Becky and Karen.”</a> She writes, “The summer of 2020 highlighted the inability to live while Black in the United States.” She adds:
“In this article, I argue that White women engage an extralegal type of patrolling, policing, and surveillance to regulate Black bodies in public spaces and uphold White supremacist notions of law and order.” 
She further argues that white women use “polite and empty apologies … to evade racial guilt and the stigma associated with open racism.”

Williams was also featured in an article for Mic titled <a href="https://www.mic.com/life/are-your-dating-preferences-racist-82343271" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Are your dating preferences racist?”</a> She argues “a lot of our social behaviors are deeply rooted in ideologies about race, even if it’s very implicitly, even if you’re not thinking about it.”

<a href="https://sph.umich.edu/faculty-profiles/lopez-william.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">William Lopez</a> is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the School of Public Health and a Faculty Associate in the Latina/o Studies Program at the University of Michigan.

According to his university profile, he teaches a course titled “Health Impacts of Law Enforcement Violence in the U.S.” This course “focuses on the harms of law enforcement on the individual, family, and community levels and asks what we, as researchers and advocates, can do to address it.”

In November 2021, Lopez and fellow professors Paul Fleming and Daphne Watkins, <a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/ncid/news-events/all-news/antiracism-collaborative/arc-funding-resources/antiracism-precedents-for-action-grant-announcement-2021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">received a grant</a> from the University of Michigan’s <a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/ncid/antiracism-collaborative.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racism Collaborative</a>. Their project proposal was titled, “Anti-Racist Action by Cities and Communities to Respond to Racial Police Violence.” They described the project as a “mixed methods study of the implementation of a municipal resolution to develop an unarmed crisis response program to reduce the interactions between armed police and community members.”

Lopez is also a founding member of the <a href="https://www.reenvisionoursafety.org/about.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coalition for Re-Envisioning Our Safety (CROS)</a>, a “multiracial group” that “care[s] deeply about transformative justice and building care-based safety in our community.” The group says they “fully support a non-police/unarmed response” and claim they have written an “effective proposal” to accomplish this goal.

The <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/police-can-make-a-crisis-worse-the-public-needs-alternatives-in-an-emergency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">main aspects of the CROS plan</a> include that the:
-”Unarmed response plan program be supported politically and funded by city government”
-”Be separate from law enforcement and the criminal legal system” 
-”Include a public phone number separate from 911” 
Speaking on behalf of CROS, Lopez told <a href="https://www.wxyz.com/news/7-in-depth/michigan-coalition-aims-to-provide-community-led-non-police-response-to-public-safety-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WXYZ</a>:
“When a gun is present, there’s always the capacity for it to escalate to violence. And no matter how much you want to reduce the odds that might happen, it is still possible when that gun is there and not possible when it is not.” 
Lopez has also spoken out about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. In an article for <a href="https://news.umich.edu/supreme-court-overturns-roe-v-wade-u-m-experts-available-to-discuss/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan News</a>, Lopez states:
“Public health research is clear that access to abortion is part of a full suite of reproductive health care. Eliminating abortion access will increase cycles of poverty, criminalize pregnancy, and unquestionably lead to maternal mortality. As is the case with all regressive health care policies, the burden of morbidity and mortality will be born most heavily by people of color.”

In September 2021, the Texas Heartbeat Bill took effect, banning abortion once a heartbeat is detected. In a <a href="https://news.umich.edu/texas-near-total-abortion-ban-u-m-experts-can-discuss/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan News</a> article, Parathasarathy was outspoken about her pro-choice beliefs, stating:
“The Supreme Court’s recent decision on abortion is likely to exacerbate inequalities at a time when we are supposed to be trying to enhance equity in our public policymaking.” 
She continued:
“With this law, more privileged women will still be able to access abortions by traveling out of state, while those without the means will likely be forced to have children. They will also have to bear the psychological and financial burdens of this, and so, too, will their families and succeeding generations.” 
Parthasarathy believes banning abortions after six weeks is “likely to entrench poverty and inequality.”

In November 2022, the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy announced that Parthasarathy would be <a href="https://fordschool.umich.edu/news/2022/u-m-online-course-centers-equity-and-justice-technology-policy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teaching a new course she created, titled “Justice and Equity in Technology Policy.”</a> This course will study “how injustices can become embedded in technology and associated policies” because “technologies reflect and reinforce social biases towards women, people of color, disabled people, and other marginalized communities.”

Parthasarathy commented:
“Technology and technology policy have crucial roles to play in making the world equitable and just. But to achieve this, we need new generations of technologists, policymakers, and civil society advocates who understand technology in a nuanced way and know where and how to produce change.”

Professor Harlow is  outspoken about her pro-choice beliefs. After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Harlow was quoted in a <a href="https://news.umich.edu/supreme-court-overturns-roe-v-wade-u-m-experts-available-to-discuss/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan News</a> article:
“The Supreme Court decision reflects a woeful misrepresentation of history and disregard for the context of many women’s lives.” 
She claims:
“Recent laws banning abortion place in danger the health and lives of women who miscarry and are without access to safe abortion. These laws will lead to an increase in maternal morbidity and mortality, they will not stop abortion.” 
Harlow believes that <a href="https://news.umich.edu/25-years-of-research-shows-insidious-effect-of-racism-on-black-womens-menopausal-transition-health/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">structural racism explains the health disparities</a> between black and white women. She led a study that looked at 25 years of research from the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation (SWAN) and compared menopausal transitions for black women and white women. She writes:
“Our analysis suggests that the enduring influence of structural racism - differential access to the goods, services and opportunities of society by race - is a major contributor to the health disparities between Black and white women in the midlife.” 
Harlow says it’s “clear that discrimination and structural racism play an important role in health broadly but getting the full story is difficult.” She claims that black women have harder experiences with menopause and attributes it to:
“...greater probability of hot flashes but less probability of treatment for hot flashes, greater risk of hypertension but less treatment for hypertension, greater risk of depression but less treatment for depression.”

Today's news is likely to be a healthcare disaster and a slippery slope for the courts. But even though the effect will be increased policing of women's bodies (by men), the line that "this is an attempt by men to oppress women" is unpersuasive. A quick data 🧵 on why:
— Josh Pasek (@jmping) <a href="https://twitter.com/jmping/status/1521511737249484800?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May 3, 2022</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Pasek was quoted in a Michigan News article titled, “<a href="https://news.umich.edu/supreme-court-overturns-roe-v-wade-u-m-experts-available-to-discuss/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade: U-M experts available to discuss</a>.” He said the decision is likely to put “Republican legislatures in conflict with the majority of Americans, who generally think abortion is a complicated issue and should be legal under at least some circumstances.”

He adds there’s a “growing perception that the courts are partisan actors” and “one major effect of the decision will be a loss of perceived governmental legitimacy at both the state and federal levels.”

Professor Pasek was featured in an October 2022 article titled, “<a href="https://beltmag.com/henry-ford-donald-trump-and-mass-marketing-bigotry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Henry Ford, Donald Trump, and Mass Marketing Bigotry</a>.” The author of the article writes that Ford and Trump are “two self-involved sore losers, both inclined to find scapegoats for America’s problems, neither inclined to take responsibility for their own words and deeds.” Pasek adds to this by saying:
“There is and has long been a virulently racist and xenophobic element to American electorate. Ford wanted to tap into that. It is clear to me Trump has found leverage in the same forces.” 
In June 2021, Pasek signed a “statement of concern” titled <a href="https://www.newamerica.org/political-reform/statements/statement-of-concern/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Threats to American Democracy and the Need for National Voting and Election Administration Standards.”</a> The letter was circulated by New America, a liberal think tank, and signed by professors from across the country. The statement says:
“State legislatures have advanced initiatives that curtail voting methods now preferred by Democratic-leaning constituencies, such as early voting and mail voting. Republican lawmakers have openly talked about ensuring the “purity” and “quality” of the vote, echoing arguments widely used across the Jim Crow South as reasons for restricting the Black vote.” 
The letter acknowledges it is “always far better for major democracy reforms to be bipartisan,” but argues that in the “current hyper-polarized political context such broad bipartisan support is sadly lacking.” The statement ends with a call to action:
“We urge members of Congress to do whatever is necessary - including suspending the filibuster - in order to pass national voting and election administration standards that both guarantee the vote to all Americans equally, and prevent state legislatures from manipulating the rules in order to manufacture the result they want.”

According to her university profile, Adams-Santos’ research focuses on “questions of sexuality, intimacy, and belonging in the digital era.” Specifically, she is interested in “how individuals navigate the racial, gender, and sexual politics of digital and urban landscapes in their search for intimacy and community.”

Adams-Santos wrote a paper titled, “<a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1363460720902720" target="_blank" rel="noopener">‘Something a bit more personal’: Digital storytelling and intimacy among queer Black women</a>.” In her work, she describes the importance of coming-out stories but claims “much of the extant literature on coming-out stories examines narratives by white, middle-class gay men and lesbians.”

She believes that “critical inquiry into coming-out stories told by privileged and queer subjects points to the formulaic and normative characteristics of their narratives, where sexual difference is downplayed or challenged.”

Her paper looks at whether queer black women “conform to or depart from the ‘coming-out formula story.’” She argues that queer black women “complicate the coming-out formula” with their use of “intimate candor - the performative and discursive strategy of publicly revealing interior, often sexually explicit, aspects of the self.”

Adams-Santos is also a Postdoctoral Fellow with the <a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/ncid/antiracism-collaborative.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racism Collaborative</a> at the University of Michigan’s National Center for Institutional Diversity. The collaborative is part of the provost’s Anti-Racism Initiative. One aspect of this initiative is a “faculty cluster hiring program that prioritizes scholarly expertise on racism - at systemic, institutional, and/or interpersonal levels.”

According to her university profile, she is “widely credited for her research at the intersection of inequality, public policy, and institutions, with a special focus on urban poverty and race, class, and gender studies.”

In an article announcing the launch of the <a href="https://racialjustice.umich.edu/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Racial Justice</a>, Watkins-Hayes <a href="https://www.michigandaily.com/government/i-think-its-long-overdue-ford-school-launches-new-center-for-racial-justice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">laid out her vision for the initiative</a>:
“When we talk about the Center for Racial Justice, there’s a decidedly intersectional lens. We are thinking about social justice more broadly. We’re thinking about gender and sexuality and religion and class and immigration status because we know that none of us are one thing, and systems don’t operate on just one dimension of inequity.” 
According to the Center’s website, the organization “aims to foster deep relationships between research and advocacy to uncover the voices of the unjustly silenced, challenge us to live up to our democratic ideals, and offer sound policy prescriptions for a more equitable and just society.”

<a href="https://smtd.umich.edu/faculty-profiles/antonio-cuyler/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Antonio Cuyler</a> is a Professor of Music in Entrepreneurship &amp; Leadership at the University of Michigan. He was hired as part of the Office of the Provost’s <a href="https://provost.umich.edu/initiatives/anti-racism/faculty-hiring-initiative/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racism Hiring Initiative</a>.

In October 2022, the University of Michigan announced that they had hired five faculty members with <a href="https://record.umich.edu/articles/five-join-faculty-through-anti-racism-hiring-initiative/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expertise in inequality and structural racism</a> as part of the initiative. According to a press release, the initiative’s main goals are to “deepen U-M’s expertise in research, scholarship, creative practice, teaching and engagement on issues of race and racial justice and tangibly impact education and society, all while building on the knowledge and work of current faculty.”

Provost Laurie McCauley stated:
“The importance of this work, building deeper knowledge of systemic inequities and fostering engagement with equity and anti-racism, is very clear. I am eager to welcome the new colleagues the initiative will bring to campus, and to learn more about how all the activity it supports will unfold.” 
In February 2022, Cuyler <a href="https://news.umich.edu/black-history-month-discussion-the-role-of-the-arts-in-the-blacklivesmatter-movement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hosted a webinar</a> featuring black artists discussing, “The role of the arts in advancing the #BlackLivesMatter movement.” In a press release, Cuyler says:
“I felt compelled by this work because seven generations from now, I don’t want people to be having the same conversations about race. I am committed to doing my part today so that that does not happen.” 
He added:
“For some artists, Blackness is kind of constraining and an encumbrance. So I want to hear from these artists - if they see it as a restrainer or do they see it as a creative wellspring that has yet to even be tapped for all of the creative resources it could be?” 
Cuyler is also the Founder and Principal Consultant of <a href="https://cuylerconsulting.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cuyler Consulting, LLC</a>, “a Black-owned arts consultancy that partners with cultural organizations to maximize their performance and community relevance through access, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI).” The organization’s “Theory of Change” states:
“WE believe that discrimination, marginalization, oppression, and subjugation have negatively impacted cultural organizations’ performance and community relevance costing them millions if not billions in annual revenue. With rigorous evidence-based coaching and education, cultural organizations can transform into anti-oppressive and people-centered cultural organizations committed to creative justice.”

The syllabus also states:
“Social Justice and Social Change issues will be addressed by helping students to critically assess their commitment to and skills for enacting change towards social justice goals.” 
A journal assignment for the course asks students to describe how they “self-identify with regard to race and/or ethnicity” and relate it to the course’s “developing narratives about Race, Racism and Anti-racist practices.”

According to the syllabus, students are <a href="https://ssw.umich.edu/sites/default/files/documents/course-outlines/20232/F22SW759001.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">required to attend</a> all live ENGAGE virtual discussions.

In a recording of the event, Ghazi Edwin says voter ID laws “were purposefully implemented because they disenfranchise the black and brown vote.” She also argues ID laws come from “hysteria” over undocumented immigrant fraud.

<a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=22269" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a> reports, “Ghazi Edwin later describes IDs ‘as an excuse’ for incarceration and deportation, as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will deport undocumented immigrants if police officers conduct a traffic stop and find them without valid IDs.”

“Ann Arbor must be a city that prioritizes racial equity in all that we do. Due to structural racism, and historic and ongoing discriminatory housing policies and practices, we have become one of the most economically segregated cities in the nation.”
Further, she adds:
“From our climate change efforts, housing, policing, social service programs, city governance and services, we must make equity of all marginalized groups a priority that we evaluate and track in a measurable and meaningful way. Furthermore, we must make sure that city staff, and those that reach leadership positions, reflect the diversity of our city.”

<a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/soc/people/faculty/ayoun.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alford Young, Jr.</a> is the Associate Director of the Center for Social Solutions and a Professor of Sociology and AfroAmerican Studies at the University of Michigan. According to his university profile, he has “pursued research in three general areas, all of which concern the phenomenon of race or the social experiences of African Americans, and all employ ethnographic, interview-based research methods.”

The <a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/social-solutions/about.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Social Solutions</a> has a vision statement that reads, “We envision a world without social inequity and systemic disenfranchisement, where opportunities and resources are more evenly distributed.” The Center focuses on four program areas: “Diversity and Democracy; Slavery and Its Aftermath; Water, Equity and Security; and The Future of Work.”

As part of its Slavery and Its Aftermath project, the Center keeps a <a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/social-solutions/history-and-slavery/reparations-accountability-and-responsibility-index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reparations Accountability and Responsibility Index</a>. The description says,
“Using publicly available financial, environmental, and employment data for the Fortune 500, the Reparations Accountability and Responsibility Index (RARI) makes transparent the actions, not words, of corporations to address racial equity in the world.” 
The Center states their goal for this project is “not to simply identify corporate irresponsibility but to offer offending corporations a path towards transparency and repair, with the hopes of creating a coalition of socially conscious corporations.”

Young was featured in a <a href="https://www.hollandsentinel.com/story/news/politics/2021/08/01/pushback-against-critical-race-theory-rooted-misconceptions/5430923001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Holland Sentinel</a> article titled, “Is the pushback against ‘critical race theory’ rooted in misconceptions?” He believes that much of the criticism against critical race theory (CRT) is “direct opposition to calls for racial justice made in the wake of [George] Floyd’s murder.” Young says:
“Here where I live, I witnessed at least two public marches, where you could count on one hand the number of Black folks marching. They were Black Lives Matter marches, engaged by white Americans, and I think that triggers more than anything else anxiety, because this did not become yet another one of those moments where African Americans expressed indignation about what happened to them at the hand of the police.
“...It became a moment of national consideration. That’s what this past year was all about. Those that are more aggressive about stopping so-called critical race theory, stopping the teaching of racism in schools, in large part, that’s a response to the recognition that America invested in this racial moment.” 
Young was interviewed for a <a href="https://news.umich.edu/u-m-expert-change-wont-happen-overnight-to-improve-race-relations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan News</a> article titled, “Change won’t happen overnight to improve race relations.” He believes that black parents have to warn their children about being killed in regular situations by white citizens. When asked, “Why is this moment different for black children and black parents,” Young states:
“There have historically been conversations in the home with black children, in particular black boys, about how you handle yourself in difficult situations, whether it’s with the police, whether it’s in threatening or dangerous situations. Now the concern is being out in public and how you might handle yourself in everyday business on the street corner, in neighborhoods and in communities.”

<a href="https://sph.umich.edu/faculty-profiles/creary-melissa.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Melissa Creary</a> is an Assistant Professor of Global Public Health at the University of Michigan. Her four areas of research interest are “bounded justice, biocultural citizenship, making institutions antiracist, and sickle cell and global health.”

Creary teaches a graduate-level course titled “Culture and Health.” The <a href="https://sph.umich.edu/admissions/courses/instructor.php?InstructorID=mcreary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course syllabus</a> states that students “will critically examine aspects of health and health policy from the state and federal perspective, along the axes of race, ethnicity, culture, and place.” Topics covered in the class include reproductive justice, environmental inequalities, and the social constructions of health.

One of the course requirements is “Remaking and Undoing: The Antiracist Research Project.” For this requirement, “Students will independently choose, develop, research and analyze a topic of their choice to (re)design a project based on a relevant topic inspired by class - guided by Chandra Ford’s praxis for antiracism research.”

In August 2023, Creary and two other researchers received one of seven <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/umich-funds-research-on-anti-racist-health-departments/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anti-racism grants</a> from the University of Michigan’s Office of the Vice President for Research. Trachette Jackson, the associate vice president for research, diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, told Michigan News:
“These grants allow interdisciplinary teams of U-M researchers to extensively study the effects of structural racism across southeast Michigan, which has far-reaching implications for communities across the country.” 
This grant will fund Creary and her co-workers' project—titled “Pilot Testing the <a href="https://record.umich.edu/articles/ovpr-anti-racism-grants-awarded-to-seven-research-teams/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Racial Justice Impact Assessment Tool</a> in a Local Health Department”—and the project goal reads:
“In the first phase of this project, funded by the 2021 cycle of OVPR anti-racism grants, researchers partnered with the Washtenaw County Health Department to identify key opportunities and limits on anti-racist institutional transformation within local health departments. In this next funded phase, the team will pilot and evaluate the co-created Racial Justice Impact Assessment tool and training created as a result of their research.” 
This is not the first project focused on anti-racism that Cleary has been a part of. In 2021, Cleary and co-worker Paul Fleming “began work on a multi-part faculty <a href="https://sph.umich.edu/news/2021posts/faculty-team-galvanizes-anti-racism-in-public-health-education.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">training initiative</a> aimed at confronting racism at the institutional level.” Part of their initiative is an online course known as “Health Equity via Anti-Racist Teaching,” or HEART.

The goal of the course is “to train public health instructors on how to implement anti-racist teaching principles and reduce barriers to anti-racist teaching methods.” Creary said, “When we take the purposeful steps to acknowledge harms associated with the unfair disadvantages and unfair advantages of racist practices, we allow our students of color to be more wholly seen.”

<a href="https://marsal.umich.edu/directory/faculty-staff/april-baker-bell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">April Baker-Bell</a> is an Associate Professor in the Marsal Family School of Education at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on “Black Language and literacies, anti-Black racism, and antiracist/pro-Black language pedagogies.”

In November 2023, Baker-Bell <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/niu-hosts-seminar-on-ending-white-linguistic-hegemony/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gave a presentation to faculty and graduate students</a> at Northern Illinois University titled “A Workshop Focused On: Linguistic Justice - Moving From Theory to Praxis.”

During the virtual event, Baker-Bell said black students should not be penalized for using “Black Language” and courses should interrogate “white linguistic hegemony and anti-Black linguistic racism.” She claimed the way black language is “devalued in classrooms reflects how Black lives are devalued in the world.”
“Similarly, the way we think about this notion of standard mainstream English is directly connected to the invisible way that White culture is often deemed normal, neutral, and superior in the world.” 
Baker-Bell distributed a workbook to participants that defined “Anti-Black Linguistic Racism”—a term she coined—as “the linguistic violence, persecution, dehumanization, and marginalization that Black language-speakers experience in schools and in everyday life.”

The workbook included multiple exercises intended to give participants the “opportunity to think through how [they] might be complicit in the reproduction of anti-Black racism and anti-Black linguistic racism through curricula, language instruction, pedagogies, practices, and language policies.”

It also provided a model of a linguistic justice course that would help students develop “linguistic consciousness” and “write for linguistic justice.” <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/niu-hosts-seminar-on-ending-white-linguistic-hegemony/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a> reports:
“Suggested assignments for the model linguistic justice course include a TikTok or digital animation project on how white linguistic hegemony, anti-black linguistic racism, or black linguistic appropriation are perpetuated by the media.” 
Baker-Bell co-authored a 2020 document, along with five other professors, <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/english-professsors-demand-higher-ed-reject-standard-english-language-put-some-respeck-on-black-language/15554" target="_blank" rel="noopener">calling to abolish “White Mainstream English.”</a> The document—titled “This Ain’t Another Statement! This is a DEMAND for Black Linguistic Justice!”—used the term “white linguistic supremacy” and suggested English is a language stemming from racism. The document states:
“Socially constructed terms like academic language and standard English are rooted in white supremacy, whiteness, and anti-Blackness and contribute to anti-Black policies (e.g., English only) that are codified and enacted to privilege white linguistic and cultural norms while deeming Black Language inferior.” 
The professors <a href="https://cccc.ncte.org/cccc/demand-for-black-linguistic-justice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">list the following demands</a>: <img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3373" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screen-Shot-2024-01-03-at-12.03.39-PM-1024x779.png" alt="" width="640" height="487" />

The authors conclude by quoting the three “dreamers/fighters” who created #BlackLivesMatter:
“Black Lives Matter is an ideological and political intervention in a world where Black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise. It is an affirmation of Black folks’ humanity, our contributions to this society, and our resilience in the face of deadly oppression.”

Ms. <a href="https://www.etown.edu/offices/diversity/staff.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nichole Gonzalez</a> serves as the Dean of Students and Executive Director for the College for Diversity, Equity, and Belonging, as well as the Title IX Coordinator for <a href="https://www.etown.edu/index.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elizabethtown College</a> in Pennsylvania.
On September 23rd, 2021, Ms. Gonzalez and other Elizabethtown College administrators requested to meet with the college’s TPUSA chapter president—Alexander Russo—regarding an upcoming event on September 27th. The chapter was set to host TPUSA Ambassador, Mr. Joe Basrawi, who planned to speak about Critical Race Theory in academia.
As <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro writes in Breitbart News</a>, Critical Race Theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism that views America and all of its institutions as being infected with white supremacy—to the point of some, including <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claiming</a> America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England”.
In the meeting on the 23rd, Ms. Gonzalez informed Russo and other members present that the event would be canceled. Chapter members that have spoken with and provided corresponding emails to the Professor Watchlist Team have confirmed that Dr.Gonzalez canceled the event.

Ms. <a href="https://www.etown.edu/offices/diversity/staff.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nichole Gonzalez</a> serves as the Dean of Students and Executive Director for the College for Diversity, Equity, and Belonging, as well as the Title IX Coordinator for <a href="https://www.etown.edu/index.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elizabethtown College</a> in Pennsylvania.

On September 23rd, 2021, Ms. Gonzalez and other Elizabethtown College administrators requested to meet with the college’s TPUSA chapter president—Alexander Russo—regarding an upcoming event on September 27th. The chapter was set to host TPUSA Ambassador, Mr. Joe Basrawi, who planned to speak about Critical Race Theory in academia.

As <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro writes in Breitbart News</a>, Critical Race Theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism that views America and all of its institutions as being infected with white supremacy—to the point of some, including <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claiming</a> America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England”.

In the meeting on the 23rd, Ms. Gonzalez informed Russo and other members present that the event would be canceled. Chapter members that have spoken with and provided corresponding emails to the Professor Watchlist Team have confirmed that Dr.Gonzalez canceled the event. She reportedly described Mr. Basrawi as “intentionally disruptive” and that his speech would be harmful to the campus due to the fact that he is not officially a “Critical Race Theorist.” Ms. Gonzalez stated that the college did not have time to put protections in place for marginalized groups and allowing the event to proceed would only further marginalize Elizabethtown’s minority students.

During the same meeting, Ms. Gonzalez allegedly pressured the chapter to disband and form a new group at the college. She stated that a conservative group aside from Turning Point USA would help facilitate a better community on campus.

As Mr. <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeBasrawi/status/1441401107809325063" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Basrawi has pointed out on Twitter</a>, Elizabethtown will be sponsoring a series of racially derogatory events during the fall semester, titled, the “Forum on White Supremacy and Global Colonization.” One training that will be <a href="https://etown.edu/centers/global/calendar.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hosted on October 12th, 21th, and November 2nd is titled, “Mediocre + Multimedia Content.*"</a>

Upon completion of the training, participants will receive a copy of the book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mediocre-Dangerous-Legacy-White-America/dp/1580059511" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America”.</a> The book endorses a “new white male identity” to counteract “the devastating consequences of white male supremacy on women, people of color, and white men themselves.” The training is described as a “space for people who identify as people of color,” and bars white people from attending.

<a href="https://profiles.stanford.edu/maxe-crandall" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maxe Crandall</a> is the “Associate Director of the Program in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Stanford University,” according to her university profile. 
The <a href="https://explorecourses.stanford.edu/search?view=catalog&amp;filter-coursestatus-Active=on&amp;q=COLLEGE%20103:%20Globally%20Queer&amp;academicYear=20222023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">description for Crandall’s course, “Globally Queer,”</a> states: 
“After all, are LGBTQ+ identities and rights one size-fits-all? Do they become a way for Western nations to once again set the standards by which others are judged developmentally deficient? In certain societies reference to a &#8216;traditional&#8217; national way of thinking about gender and sexuality is simply a fig leaf for homophobia and transphobia.”
Crandall considers herself a poet and playwright. She has published nine print works and several articles. Among her works is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Nancy-Reagan-Collection-Maxe-Crandall/dp/1733038418" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Nancy Reagan Collection”</a> (1920), which, according to the description on Amazon, “is a response to growing up queer and trans under the rise of HIV-AIDS [during the Reagan era, the greatest era in American history]. Crossing genres and generations, this performance novel remixes the AIDS archive through an ever-spiraling politics and aesthetics of mourning.” 
The description further states, “Alternating chapters offer up a narrative throughline composed of hallucinogenic episodes from the perspective of a nameless, grieving protagonist in the midst of the global carnage of the Reagan dynasty. Part revenge, part fantasy, the book experiments with poetic practices that challenge conceptions of memory and morality, activism and escapism, grief and beauty.” On one page in “The Nancy Reagan Collection,” Crandall talks about Reagan’s “groping styles,” and a particular style of blouse she wears (see image below):
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-2484 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Screen-Shot-2022-11-02-at-2.58.12-PM.png" alt="" width="408" height="516" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Screen-Shot-2022-11-02-at-2.58.12-PM.png 408w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Screen-Shot-2022-11-02-at-2.58.12-PM-237x300.png 237w" sizes="(max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px" />
In line with the content of her book, on Twitter Crandall tweeted that, during the AIDS Epidemic, First Lady Nancy Reagan abandoned the gay community which had been most afflicted by the disease. She tweeted the following (which has since been deleted upon the publication of this profile on November 2, 2022):

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

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

In a publication titled, <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/rh33nhu5m55e01k/Curious%20Case%20of%20Black%20Conservatives_Short.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Curious Case of Black Conservatives”</a>, Dr. Jefferson details why he believes some black Americans identify as conservative. In his research, he claims that black Americans only identify as conservative because they don’t understand the meaning of the words “liberal” or “conservative.” In turn, black Americans who self-identify as “conservative” are wrong and are actually liberal. He states that black Americans’ results from the 7-point liberal-conservative scale cannot be trusted because they are not cognizant of the true meanings of the words.

&nbsp;

https://twitter.com/hakeemjefferson/status/756279338878853125

The <a href="http://www-personal.umich.edu/~wmebane/fall01/gov317/nes48_98/node335.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">7-point liberal-conservative scale</a> asks, on a scale of 1 (extremely liberal) to 7 (extremely conservative), where people believe they fall. This scale is just one of a multitude of different ways a person’s political ideology can be determined or measured.

In the two years since graduating from the University of Michigan with his Ph.D. in Political Science, Dr. Jefferson has made many assertions about not only white, conservative Americans, but also black Americans. His research, teachings, and social media all indicate that he believes white conservatives are a “<a href="https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/storming-the-u-s-capitol-was-about-maintaining-white-power-in-america/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dangerous mob of grievous white people</a>,”  while black Americans don’t have the capacity or understanding to know the difference between being liberal and being conservative.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Jefferson for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

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

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

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>
— Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor (@KeeangaYamahtta) <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta/status/1392287946653503490?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May 12, 2021</a></blockquote>
<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>
— Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor (@KeeangaYamahtta) <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta/status/1392286002950164480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May 12, 2021</a></blockquote>
<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>.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1846" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-19T122121.004-e1637349803441-1024x363.png" alt="" width="500" height="177" />

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. After a jury acquitted Zimmerman in 2013, <a href="https://patrissecullors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrice Cullors</a> joined with <a href="https://aliciagarza.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alicia Garza</a> and <a href="https://www.opaltometi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Opal Tometi</a> to found an organization, <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as stated on its website</a>.

“....whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes.” 

BLM came to further prominence following the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/gunshots-looting-after-grand-jury-in-ferguson-case-does-not-indict-officer-in-michael-brown-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">riots in Ferguson, Missouri</a> in reaction to the acquittal of police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of robbery suspect, Michael Brown. 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 an interview with the progressive news outlet, DemocracyNow, in June of 2020, Dr. Taylor praises the BLM movement’s fight against systemic racism, stating that our nation is witnessing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMOG-W_X9m8&amp;ab_channel=DemocracyNow%21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an “uprising” against “racial terrorism” being inflicted upon black Americans by police officers</a>.

According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/">The Federalist</a> found, “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

&nbsp;

In separate Twitter posts, Dr. Taylor has condemned capitalism as being inherently exploitative while promoting the merits of socialism.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
There is no good US capitalism. The so called golden age of capitalism relied on shackling women to the home, bolting LGBT people in the closet, restricting immigration to Europeans, &amp; segregating Black people into resource starved enclaves. Capitalism has always been the problem

&nbsp;

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.

&nbsp;

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. Over the course of the USSR's existence, as <a href="https://fee.org/articles/the-staggering-toll-of-the-russian-revolution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">many as 60 million people perished under Soviet rule</a>.

In recognition of her work, Dr. Taylor was <a href="https://aas.princeton.edu/news/2021-macarthur-fellow-keeanga-yamahtta-taylor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">awarded a MacArthur Foundation “Genius” Award</a> in 2021.

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.”

“We rise in coalition with the students, scholars, and people of conscience resisting the forces currently deployed to silence, mischaracterize, and criminalize dissent on college campuses and beyond … A culture of intimidation, silencing, and punishment is now moving across the United States and around the world.”
McClintock and the FJP further declared “support for those in Palestine who have called for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS).” The letter ends with a call for an “end to Israeli occupation and apartheid and for a free Palestine.”

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.

Ruha Benjamin serves as the <a href="https://aas.princeton.edu/people/ruha-benjamin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Director of Graduate Affairs and a Professor for the Department of African American Studies</a> at Princeton University. Her university profile says she “specializes in the interdisciplinary study of science, medicine, and technology with a focus on the relationship between innovation and social equity.” 

Professor Benjamin is the author of several publications including a book titled “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Race_After_Technology/G6-hDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code</a>.” The book explores how “emerging technologies can reinforce White supremacy and deepen social inequity.”

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.”

<a href="https://politics.princeton.edu/people/richard-falk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Richard Falk</a> is a Professor of International Law and Practice at Princeton University and a Research Associate at the Orfalea Center of Global Studies at the University of California - Santa Barbara. 

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.”

An Islamist terrorist group, Hamas’s charter calls for the <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews:</a>
“Israel will rise and will remain erect until Islam eliminates it as it had eliminated its predecessors.” - Hamas Charter
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.

The performance showcased the artistic abilities of the disabled, mentally ill, and trans-identifying students. According to the College Fix, Nunez said, “‘This is the first time that we get to experience in a more pragmatic, practical way what access, accessibility, and access artistry means.’”

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>

 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Independently minded…”</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.

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://www.foxnews.com/media/princeton-anti-capitalist-class-teaching-black-people-considered-handicapped-systemic-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> highlighted Larson’s racialized course along with a textbook on the <a href="https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?courseid=016853&amp;term=1242" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sample Reading List.</a> According to the publisher, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Right-Maim-Debility-Disability-Otherwise/dp/0822369184/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3CJIPSGV1XZ1X&amp;keywords=Jasbir+Puar%2C+The+Right+to+Maim%3A+Debility%2C+Capacity%2C+Disability&amp;qid=1693330890&amp;sprefix=%2Caps%2C142&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Right to Maim: Debility, Capacity, Disability</a>” by Rutgers professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/jasbirpuar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jasbir Puar</a> is “an interrogation of Israel’s policies toward Palestine, in which [Puar] outlines how Israel brings Palestinians into biopolitical being by designating them available for injury.”

According to the <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/israeli-minister-asks-princeton-to-remove-antisemitic-propaganda-from-course/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Review</a>, “The International Legal Forum, an Israel-based non-profit, criticized the decision to include [Puar’s] book in the course curriculum” and the “Israeli Minister and the International Legal Forum called for removing the book from the course.”

The Review also said, “Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, called for canceling the course and terminating [Larson].”

<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.”

<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.”

According to her university profile, Elyachar is “broadly trained in economics, history of political and economic thought, political economy, social theory, Middle Eastern Studies, and Arabic language.”

In April 2024, Elyachar signed a “<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/04/princeton-opinion-opguest-faculty-staff-solidarity-palestine-protestors-columbia-barnard-encampment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement of solidarity with Columbia University students from Princeton faculty and staff</a>.” The statement came after student protestors established a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on the lawns of Columbia University, disrupting campus operations, sparking safety concerns, and causing classes to be <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/columbia-university-moves-classes-online-as-pro-palestine-protests-spark-safety-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held remotely</a> for the remainder of the semester.

The statement begins:
“We, Princeton University faculty and staff, affirm our solidarity with and support for the Columbia University and Barnard College students who are continuing to demand that the university divest from Israel’s genocide in Gaza and ongoing occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and other Palestinian land.” 
The signatories have committed to boycotting Columbia University and Barnard College until several demands are met, including:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We call upon the Columbia University administration to reinstate those students who were wrongfully suspended for exercising their constitutionally recognized right to speech and peaceful assembly.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We demand that all charges be dismissed and expunged from their student records, and that all rights and privileges be restored to them immediately.”</li>

“The ongoing Israeli assault upon the Gaza Strip must be stopped … The international community must force Israel, Hamas, and all parties to the conflict to adhere strictly to the letter of international law, first and foremost by putting an immediate and complete halt to the unchecked collective punishment currently being deployed against Palestinians in Gaza.” 
The writers further claimed there is a “widespread dehumanization and erasure of Palestinian life in the United States” and that students who voice support for Palestinians are “continuously subjected to harassment, intimidation, imperiled job prospects, and threats to their personal safety.”

The letter concluded by acknowledging the university’s efforts to “reach out to Jewish community members as well as those with Israeli citizenship to check on their well-being.” They then state:
“We find it unacceptable, however, that Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students were not and have not been accorded a similar show of respect and care. We call upon the University administration to do everything in its power to ensure that all Princetonians are recognized and feel safe and seen in this moment of accelerating grief, horror, and outright danger.”

The signatories have committed to boycotting Columbia University and Barnard College until several demands are met, including:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We call upon the Columbia University administration to reinstate those students who were wrongfully suspended for exercising their constitutionally recognized right to speech and peaceful assembly.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We demand that all charges be dismissed and expunged from their student records, and that all rights and privileges be restored to them immediately.”</li>

All criminal charges that have been brought against student protestors who were arrested by the NYPD at the behest of the university administration should be dropped immediately.”</li>
</ul>
The faculty and staff have also called for the university to reverse the suspension of two student groups, Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine and Columbia Jewish Voice for Peace. They concluded their statement with the following:
“We vow to withhold our academic labor from Columbia and Barnard, not to participate in conferences and other campus events, and not to collaborate with university institutions until such time as the administration has met these demands and demonstrated its commitments to upholding the well-established norms of unrestricted scholarly inquiry and academic freedom.” 
Ghamari-Tabrizi also signed an open letter published by <a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2023/10/princeton-opinion-openletter-solidarity-israel-palestine-peace-justice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Princetonian</a> on November 29, 2023, titled “An open letter from Princeton faculty and students in solidarity with Gaza.” The letter included the following quote:
“The ongoing Israeli assault upon the Gaza Strip must be stopped … The international community must force Israel, Hamas, and all parties to the conflict to adhere strictly to the letter of international law, first and foremost by putting an immediate and complete halt to the unchecked collective punishment currently being deployed against Palestinians in Gaza.” 
The writers further claimed there is a “widespread dehumanization and erasure of Palestinian life in the United States” and that students who voice support for Palestinians are “continuously subjected to harassment, intimidation, imperiled job prospects, and threats to their personal safety.”

The letter concluded by acknowledging the university’s efforts to “reach out to Jewish community members as well as those with Israeli citizenship to check on their well-being.” They then state:
“We find it unacceptable, however, that Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students were not and have not been accorded a similar show of respect and care. We call upon the University administration to do everything in its power to ensure that all Princetonians are recognized and feel safe and seen in this moment of accelerating grief, horror, and outright danger.”

<a href="https://anthropology.princeton.edu/people/faculty/agustin-fuentes">Agustín Fuentes</a> is a Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University. According to his university profile, Fuentes’ “research focuses on the biosocial, delving into the entanglement of biological systems with the social and cultural lives of humans, our ancestors, and a few of the other animals with whom humanity shares close relations.” 

His profile further states the nature of his research:
“From chasing monkeys in jungles and cities, to exploring the lives of our evolutionary ancestors, to examining human health, behavior, and diversity across the globe, Professor Fuentes is interested in both the big questions and the small details of what makes humans and our close relations tick.”
In April 2024, Fuentes signed a “<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/04/princeton-opinion-opguest-faculty-staff-solidarity-palestine-protestors-columbia-barnard-encampment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement of solidarity with Columbia University students from Princeton faculty and staff</a>.” The statement came after student protestors established a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on the lawns of Columbia University, disrupting campus operations, sparking safety concerns, and causing classes to be <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/columbia-university-moves-classes-online-as-pro-palestine-protests-spark-safety-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held remotely</a> for the remainder of the semester. 

The statement begins: 
“We, Princeton University faculty and staff, affirm our solidarity with and support for the Columbia University and Barnard College students who are continuing to demand that the university divest from Israel’s genocide in Gaza and ongoing occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and other Palestinian land.”

“We vow to withhold our academic labor from Columbia and Barnard, not to participate in conferences and other campus events, and not to collaborate with university institutions until such time as the administration has met these demands and demonstrated its commitments to upholding the well-established norms of unrestricted scholarly inquiry and academic freedom.” 
In May 2023, Fuentes penned an opinion piece for Scientific American titled “<a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/heres-why-human-sex-is-not-binary/?amp;text=Here%27s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Here’s Why Human Sex Is Not Binary</a>.” He began his article by stating: 
“There are those, politicians, pundits and even a few scientists, who maintain that whether our bodies make ova or sperm are all we need to know about sex. They assert that men and women are defined by their production of these gamete cells, making them a distinct biological binary pair, and that our legal rights and social possibilities should flow from this divide.” 
Fuentes argued that this is “bad science” and that people who believe legal and policy decisions should be made based on sex “are arguing for a specific political, and discriminatory, definition of what is ‘natural’ and ‘right’ for humans based on a false representation of biology.” He went on to claim: 
“Over the past few centuries this process of misrepresentation of biology was, and still is, used to deny women rights and to justify legal and societal misogyny and inequity, to justify slavery, racialization, racism and to enforce multiple forms of discrimination and bias.” 
“Today dishonest ascriptions of what biology is are being deployed to restrict women’s bodily autonomy, target LGBTQIA+ individuals broadly and, most recently, attack the rights of transexual and transgender people.” 
Fuentes concluded his opinion piece: 
“Given what we know about biology across animals and in humans, efforts to represent human sex as binary based solely on what gametes one produces are not about biology but are about trying to restrict who counts as a full human in society.”

Lurie participated in a Columbia University and Barnard College <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/23/over-100-faculty-members-protest-in-rally-to-support-our-students-and-reclaim-our-university/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faculty protest</a> titled “Rally to Support our Students and Reclaim our University” after student protesters took over the lawns of Columbia University in April 2024.

Lurie spoke at the walkout in opposition to the disciplinary actions brought against student protesters:
“We demand that all Barnard College and Columbia University suspensions and charges be dismissed immediately and expunged from students’ records.”
Lurie told the <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/23/aaup-drafts-resolution-of-censure-against-shafik-administration-following-nypd-sweep/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbia Spectator</a> that the AAUP disapproved of Shafik’s response to the protesters and said:
“We want to be really clear that we are not calling for her resignation at this time. We want to work with her. We want her and her administration to turn back from the road that they’ve started down last week, and we’re really eager to partner with them in doing that.”
In a <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wLVMV9z_HGanmpN-9b84Iket-d5VM9VT/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a> issued by the AAUP, titled “Resolution of Censure,” the following criticism was stated of Shafik and her view of the pro-Palestine protests:
“President Shafik falsely claimed that the students who were arrested for protesting on April 18 posed a ‘clear and present danger to the substantial functioning of the University,’ when in fact they ‘were peaceful, offered no resistance whatsoever, and were saying what they wanted to say in a peaceful manner,’ according to the NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell. Her actions have endangered these students’ welfare, and her draconian and disproportionate punishments have endangered their futures.”
Lurie and the AAUP <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bnEhCa6mR7t_82QUf_qpGT7acudoOMIw/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">maintain</a> that Shafik’s termination is not what they desire in their latest press release:
“Unwarranted statements by members of Congress, including calls for President Shafik’s resignation, undermine the traditions of shared governance and academic freedom that have long ensured America’s educational greatness.”

<a href="https://biology.barnard.edu/profiles/hilary-callahan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hilary Callahan</a> is a Professor of Biological Sciences at Barnard College. According to her university profile, Callahan’s “research examines many different features of plants — from roots to flowers to seeds.”

Callahan participated in a Columbia University and Barnard College faculty protest titled “Rally to Support our Students and Reclaim our University” after student protesters took over the lawns of Columbia University. The <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/23/us-news/columbia-professors-slammed-over-grotesque-rally-that-publicly-backed-ivy-league-schools-anti-israel-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> reported, “Scores of professors and staff appeared on the school’s steps to support the right of the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’ to take over campus space and denounce the administration’s decision to have protesters arrested.” 

Callahan spoke at the walkout and compared the student protests to the Scopes Trial in 1924. During the Scopes Trial, an elementary school teacher was tried for teaching evolution at a school in Dayton, Tennessee. According to <a href="https://bwog.com/2024/04/student-workers-and-faculty-hold-walkouts-to-demand-amnesty-for-students-and-faculty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BWOG</a>, “Callahan called the historical event an ‘emblem of how wrong it is to treat teachers as pawns and scapegoats,’” and connected it to the response of Columbia University to the protestation of its pro-Palestine faculty and students. 

Callahan then addressed the crowd with certain demands:
 “We insist on science and factual evidence… on delineating the boundaries between certainty and uncertainty…on honest, open, and difficult discourse,” discourse she claimed were “pathways to a more humane world.” 
Callahan described the university’s response to the protests and encampment as “intemperate and regrettable.” She said her and her associates would “work tirelessly to undo that error.”

<a href="https://soa.princeton.edu/content/s.e.-eisterer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S.E. Eisterer</a> is an Assistant Professor of Architecture and Co-Director, Program in Media and Modernity at Princeton University. 

According to her faculty profile, Eisterer’s “research focuses on spatial histories of dissidence, feminist, queer, and trans* theory in architecture, as well as the labor of social and ecological movements.”

For the current Princeton spring semester, Eisterer is teaching a <a href="https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?courseid=017728&amp;term=1254" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course</a> titled “Queer Spaces in the World.” 

The course description asks a series of questions about architecture, and proposes gender theory as a way of interpreting architectural spaces: 

“How do sources determine the histories we can tell about architecture, urban space, and the agents that enliven it? How do we reconcile seeming absences and actual acts of erasure that stare back at us from the archive? How can feminist, gender, queer and trans* theory help us chart new avenues for writing critical architectural histories that are attentive to discourses of difference but also narratives of equity?" 

The course further seeks to discover groups and institutions of resistance towards dominant regimes and philosophies: 

“Which methods, beyond conventional modes of architectural inquiry, can we employ to uncover histories of groups and institutions that have actively resisted dominant regimes of power and their corresponding systems of knowledge?”

Eisterer contributes to an Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/queerspaceworkinggroup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">page</a> titled “queerspaceworkinggroup.” The page is described as a “transnational group of queer scholars &amp; architects 🏳️‍🌈 themed &amp; informal conversations about queer space(s).”

The page displays a focus on “queerifying” [sic] architectural spaces. (See image below from Instagram).

<a href="https://coe.arizona.edu/person/nolan-l-cabrera" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nolan Cabrera</a> is a Professor of Educational Policy Studies and Practice at the University of Arizona. 
In an article for <a href="https://www.tcpress.com/blog/dont-notice-white-students-sitting-quad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Teachers College Press</a>, titled “Why Don’t We Notice the White Students Sitting Together in The Quad?”, Cabrera accused white students of “perpetuating” racial segregation on campuses, and deems segregation to be a white issue. 
“Racial segregation remains a persistent issue on campuses, and White people are the primary perpetrators of it… Campus segregation, if named accurately, is a distinctly White issue.”
Much of the article addresses certain customs and institutions that are not specific to a non-white race, which are therefore deemed to belong to the white race, according to Cabrera. For instance, he says the following of student unions and certain months:
“Newsflash, there is a White Student Union. It is just called ‘The Student Union.’”
“White History Month traditionally goes by the names of January, March, April, etc.”
In 2019, Cabrera published a <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/White_Guys_on_Campus/ay5SDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">book</a> titled “White Guys on Campus Racism, White Immunity, and the Myth of &#8220;Post-Racial&#8221; Higher Education.” The first chapter contains the title “The Unbearable Whiteness of Being” which is a play on Milan Kundera’s 1984 novel “The Unbearable Lightness of Being.”

In this chapter, Cabrera compares Capitalism to whiteness in the following manner:

In 2024, Cabrera wrote a book titled “<a href="https://www.tcpress.com/whiteness-in-the-ivory-tower-9780807769164">Whiteness in the Ivory Tower</a>.”  The publisher’s description states the following purpose of the book: 
“Whiteness is the foundation of racism and racial violence within higher education institutions. It is deeply embedded in the ideologies and organizational structures of colleges and universities that guide practices, policies, and research. The purpose of this book is not to simply uncover these practices but, rather, to intentionally center the harm that Whiteness causes to communities of Color broadly in order to transform these practices.”
In the book, Cabrera describes “whitelash,” which is to him a response to “antiracist victories.” He lists several examples of “whitelash.&#8221; (See excerpt below).

Cabrera uses a figure to demonstrate a “theory of whiteness in higher education.” The figure shows how white supremacy is allegedly the “foundational structure of society” which perpetuates white dominance and “anti-BIPOC violence.” Certain aspects of whiteness are listed  and linked to each other and are shown as the cause of anti-BIPOC tendencies among whites.

University of Arizona Professor Harris Kornstein — with a drag persona named Lil’ Miss Hot Mess — expanded his child sex education advocacy into the realm of antisemitism when he led children to chant “Free Palestine” during a “queer storytime” event.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Amherst, MA - Valley Families for Palestine puts on ‘Queer Storytime for Palestine’ in which toddlers are recorded chanting “Free Palestine”.
The harsh reality? Members of the LGBTQ+ community are often murdered in Gaza and other Palestinian areas such as Ramallah. <a href="https://t.co/b8qwU4ycR3">pic.twitter.com/b8qwU4ycR3</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

By all news accounts, Kornstein appears unaware that his right to dress in drag would not be protected in most Middle Eastern territories. In particular, queer movements and people are <a href="https://reason.com/2023/10/27/the-contradictions-of-queers-for-palestine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">persecuted</a> — even to the point of <a href="https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-720308" target="_blank" rel="noopener">death</a> — in Palestine, and same-sex relationships are <a href="https://www.humandignitytrust.org/country-profile/palestine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outlawed</a> in Gaza. 

<a href="https://azfreenews.com/2024/04/university-of-arizona-drag-queen-professor-pushes-children-to-support-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AZ Free News</a> stated, “Kornstein encouraged a crowd of children to chant ‘Free Palestine!’ as a response to: ‘If you’re a drag queen and you know it’ … Palestinians don’t tolerate LGBTQ+ individuals, especially Hamas. Anyone involved in those lifestyles in the area risks persecution and violence at minimum, even death.”

<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/drag-queen-orders-children-chant-free-palestine-during-queer-story-hour-massachusetts-arts-center" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News said</a>, “The event included ‘dancing, celebrating Palestine culture, learning about queer heroes doing arts and crafts’ … Event profits were donated to alQaws, a Palestinian organization ‘working for queer liberation’ … The event and video sparked harsh backlash online, with many pointing out that LGBTQ people are not usually treated with respect in Gaza or other Palestinian areas.”

Kornstein posted about the event on his <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lilmisshotmess/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> account.

<a href="https://pah.arizona.edu/people/harris-kornstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harris Kornstein</a> is an Assistant Professor for the Institute for LGBTQ+ Studies at the University of Arizona. 

On his <a href="https://www.harriskornstein.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, Kornstein says that “By night, I'm a <a href="https://www.lilmisshotmess.com/">drag queen</a>, and have performed at venues ranging from San Francisco's legendary <a href="https://www.studsf.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stud bar</a> to SFMOMA, and Stanford University to <a href="https://perezhilton.com/katy-perry-drag-queens-deny-migos-drama-saturday-night-live/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saturday Night Live</a>.” When in drag, Kornstein goes by the drag name of “Lil Miss Hot Mess.”

Kornstein has written children's storybooks about drag queens. One of these books (published in 2020) is titled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hips-Drag-Queen-Go-Swish-ebook/dp/B07XDNJB14" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish.”</a> The book’s description states:
“Playing off "The Wheels on the Bus," this nursery rhyme book from a founder of Drag Queen Story Hour is a fun, freewheeling celebration of being your most fabulous self.
"The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish encourages readers to boldly be exactly who they are. Written by a founding member of the nationally recognized Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH), this playful picture book offers a quirky twist on a classic nursery rhyme by illustrating all of the ways to "work it". The story plays off "The Wheels on the Bus" as it follows a drag queen who performs her routine in front of an awestruck audience. A fun frenzy of fierceness, this book will appeal to readers of all ages.”

In 2022, Kornstein also published a similar-themed book titled <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Youre-Drag-Queen-You-Know/dp/0762475331" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“If You're a Drag Queen and You Know It.”</a> The book’s description states the following:
“Strike a pose. Blow a kiss. Mouth the words. A fun, sing-along book with a drag twist that encourage kids to embrace all the playfulness of drag culture written by a founding member of Drag Queen Story Hour."
“If you’re a drag queen and you know it, let it show by winking, shaking your bum, laughing real big, twirling around, and more! Join a cast of fabulous drag queens as you sing along to the tune of “If You’re Happy and You Know It” in this playful celebration of expressing your brightest and boldest self.

In 2020, Kornstein and Professor Harper Keenan of the University of British Columbia wrote an article titled, <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/03626784.2020.1864621">“Drag pedagogy: The playful practice of queer imagination in early childhood.”</a> 

Kornstein and Keenan claim that, “To the unimaginative adult (which – sigh – describes most of us), it might seem that the world of drag and the world of children are impossibly distant from one another.”  

The authors also “propose that DQSH [Drag Queen Story Hour] offers a particular kind of queer framework – what we call drag pedagogy – for teaching and learning that extends beyond traditional approaches to LGBT curricular inclusion.”

Concerning traditional gender roles and sexuality, the authors state their opposition in the following manner:
“In the USA, for example, many people learn that the most valued boy will be white, engage in rough-and-tumble play with other boys that will toughen him up and straighten him out, allowing him to mature into a man who wears a suit and tie, makes a lot of money, enters into a sexually monogamous marriage with a woman, buys a home, and has enough but not too many children. In other words, a script that may begin with gender shapes how individuals are taught to understand their expected roles in society in ways that extend far beyond gender alone. Almost no one can fully conform to the script of gender all of the time.”
The authors think that “Drag Queen Story Hour” (DQSH) “publicly positions its impact in “help[ing] children develop empathy, learn about gender diversity and difference, and tap into their own creativity.”

They also expounded on what they claim is the definition of a drag queen, along with their hopes for the future of DQSH.
 “As an art form, drag is all about bending and breaking the rules, and so its aims are totally different from a normative classroom. When a drag queen enters a (class)room, she [sic] generally intends to draw attention to herself – whether through shock, admiration, or envy of her embodied performance. There is a premium on standing out, on artfully desecrating the sacred.”
In writing the article, the authors wrote that they “are guided by the following question: what might Drag Queen Story Hour offer educators as a way of bringing queer ways of knowing and being into the the education of young children?”

<a href="https://www.geo.arizona.edu/person/jessica-kapp">Dr. Jess Kapp</a> is a lecturer at the University of Arizona. She wrote a blog post called "The Rape of America" where she compared the election of Donald Trump to rape. "He whispers promises of protection with crossed fingers behind his back, and while we prepare to give him a chance, turning our heads from his proven history of lies, he will attack us bareback and ride us until we tear... And just when we think it is going to let up, he will escalate the assault to gang rape.”

<a href="https://eeb.arizona.edu/person/john-wiens">Dr. John Wiens</a> is a Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona. A scholar of extinction and evolutionary biology, Wiens joked that Donald Trump should kill himself over his climate and environmental policies.

<a href="https://linguistics.arizona.edu/user/noam-chomsky">Noam Chomsky</a> is a professor of Linguistics at the University of Arizona and, according to MIT, one of the most <a href="https://news.mit.edu/1992/citation-0415#:~:text=From%201972%20to%201992%2C%20Professor,in%20the%20Science%20Citation%20Index.">cited academics in human history</a>.

In an interview with C.J. Polychroniou, Chomsky <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/trump-in-the-white-house-an-interview-with-noam-chomsky/">states</a> that the Republican party is the “most dangerous organization in human history.” The New Yorker also reports Chomsky's claims that <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/noam-chomsky-believes-trump-is-the-worst-criminal-in-human-history">Donald Trump is a worse criminal than Adolf Hitler</a>.

&nbsp;
Socialism
According to the New Criterion, Chomsky frequently <a href="https://newcriterion.com/issues/2003/5/the-hypocrisy-of-noam-chomsky">praised</a> the left-wing government of the Khmer Rouge and has publically disputed the credibility and existence of the Cambodian Genocide. Committed by the Khmer Rouge and its dictatorial head Pol Pot, it is <a href="https://cla.umn.edu/chgs/holocaust-genocide-education/resource-guides/cambodia#:~:text=Lasting%20for%20four%20years%20(between,following%20the%20Cambodian%20Civil%20War.">estimated</a> that at least 1.5 and 3 million people died between 1976 and 1979. Despite <a href="https://gsp.yale.edu/case-studies/cambodian-genocide-program">detailed reports</a> of starvation and systematic executions, Chomsky denied that any widespread killings had taken place and accused reporters of repeating right-wing propaganda and sensationalizing their stories. Chomsky attributes the deaths to US imperialism and executions of subversive elements to the communist government

&nbsp;
Antisemitism
Chomsky publically defends individuals who engage in Holocaust denial. As documented in Robert F.

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

In the Fall 2021 semester, Ms. Chan will be teaching a Black Lives Matter(BLM)-inspired course that counts towards an English requirement for graduation.

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

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

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

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

“I’m one of those people who, from earliest memory, always felt feminineidentified even though I was assigned male at birth, even though everybody considered me to be a boy and raised me as such, and even though my body was apparently a typical male body.”
He has made some films including “<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0464189/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria” </a>(2005), and <a href="https://www.disclosurethemovie.com/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen” </a> (2020).

In a tweet posted on October 28, 2020, Stryker accused “the right” of “trans-baiting… [by] falsely claiming Biden supports sex changes for 8-year-olds” (see tweet below):

Stryker is working on a book titled “Changing Gender: A Trans History of North America from Colonization to the Present.” In a November lecture delivered at the <a href="https://flathatnews.com/2022/11/15/distinguished-professor-author-dr-susan-stryker-gives-lecture-on-sex-and-race-classification-in-colonial-anglo-america/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">College of William and Mary</a>, Stryker explained his method in writing the book:
 “I draw from both scholarship and cultural theory to inform the stories that I tell in my book about gender-changing people over the last 400 years, through which I demonstrate how the social system of gender itself has changed over time,” Stryker said. “I build an argument for why, here in the late anthropocene, gender needs to change further still.”

<a href="https://profiles.arizona.edu/person/toomey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Russ B. Toomey</a> is a Professor of Family Studies and Human Development at the University of Arizona. Toomey was born a biological female who medically "transitioned" to male.

According to Toomey's faculty profile, "[She] teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on adolescent development, human sexuality and advanced graduate-level and applied statistics." Toomey’s lists of "expertise" includes but is not limited to:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">"Sexual orientation and gender diversity: identity development, minority stress, and resilience”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Intersections of multiple forms of minority stress” </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Sociocultural and contextual influences on health and development”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Adolescent/youth development”</li>
</ul>
In  2021, Toomey wrote an article titled, “<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/350641796_Advancing_Research_on_Minority_Stress_and_Resilience_in_Trans_Children_and_Adolescents_in_the_21st_Century" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advancing Research on Minority Stress and Resilience in Trans Children and Adolescents in the 21st Century.”</a> She claims that “Transgender and nonbinary children and adolescents bear a disproportionate level of poor health, and adverse developmental and academic outcomes compared to their cisgender peers.” She advocates “for explicit attention in minority stress models with gender-minority youth to the domains of (a) intrapersonal and interpersonal gender dysphoria, and (b) access and use of affirmative and comprehensive health care.”

In another 2021 article titled, <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/356018226_Transgender_Adolescent_Suicide_Behavior" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Transgender Adolescent Suicide Behavior” </a>— which Toomey co-wrote with Amy K Syvertsen and Maura Shramko—an argument is made that “most lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youths are quite resilient and emerge from adolescence as healthy adults, the effects of stigma and heterosexism can contribute to health disparities.”

In January of 2019, Toomey filed a <a href="https://www.acluaz.org/en/cases/toomey-v-arizona" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a> “against the State of Arizona and the Arizona Board of Regents for denying medically necessary, gender-confirming healthcare to transgender people employed by the state,” according to the ACLU. 

The ACLU stated the details behind the lawsuit and its current outcome:
“The lawsuit asks the Court to remove the health plan’s exclusion for “gender reassignment surgery.” It also seeks the opportunity for all transgender state employees and dependents to have their claims for transition-related surgery evaluated as medically necessary under the same standards and procedures the health plan applies to other medical treatments. On December 23, 2019, Judge Marquez denied Defendants State of Arizona, Andy Tobin and Paul Shannon’s Motion to Dismiss, and class certification was granted on June 15, 2020. Plaintiff filed a Motion for Preliminary Injunction on September 1, 2020 which has been fully briefed by the Parties. The Court has taken the motion under advisement.”
“During the discovery process, the State of Arizona appealed a ruling by the trial court that the state had to turn over certain documents. On April 14, 2022, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the State of Arizona’s petition, and litigation proceedings will continue.”

<a href="https://coe.arizona.edu/person/julio-cammarota" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julio Cammarota</a> is a Professor of Education at the University of Arizona. According to his faculty biography, “His research focuses on participatory action research with Latinx youth, institutional factors in academic achievement, and liberatory pedagogy.”

Cammarota’s profile also says he “has been instrumental with advancing social justice in education and youth development.” Julio has published over thirty peer-reviewed journal articles, with the bulk of them centered around equity, race, and critical education theories.

Since its birth, Critical Theory has been reserved for college campuses and postgraduate courses, but Julio Cammarota can be credited for bringing it into secondary schools. In his 2006 article, co-authored by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/augustine-romero-5744703b/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Augustine Romero</a>, titled, “<a href="https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ759647.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Critically Compassionate Intellectualism for Latina/o Students: Raising Voices Above the Silencing in Our Schools</a>,” Julio details how he developed “an alternative, social justice pedagogy in a high school located in Tucson, Arizona.” He describes the course further, saying:
“The school principal allowed us to work with a cohort of 20 Latina/o students during their junior and senior years, teaching them the state’s social studies requirements but adjusting the content and pedagogy in ways that facilitated the students’ critical consciousness around racial inequalities affecting their educational and general life experiences.”
Julio cited Paulo Freire on fourteen separate occasions within that same article. Freire is credited as one of the founders of modern day critical pedagogy, and Professor Cammarota works alongside the <a href="https://freireproject.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Freire Project</a> and other critical educators to advance his ideas.

Professor Cammarota’s most notable contribution to date, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Julio-Cammarota/dp/0816513414" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sueños Americanos: Barrio Youth Negotiating Social and Cultural Identities</a>,” is described as a study on:
<ul>
 	<li>“How gender influences social relationships and life choices.”</li>
 	<li>“How Latinos and Latinas try to maintain their distinct ethnic identity while attempting to transcend marginalization.”</li>
 	<li>“Whether the Latino culture helps young people work hard for their families and for a better future.”</li>
 	<li>“How the connections and disconnections among work, family, and school constitute formative processes that shape the cultural identities of Latino youth.”</li>
 	<li>“Concludes with a discussion of social justice education for Latino youth and how this educational approach meets their academic needs while providing opportunities for self-determination and community activism.”</li>
</ul>
Julio is also very active on his social media where he posts about politics and music among other things:<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3076" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/265742BE-8306-4974-919A-C624AF41EA6F.jpeg" alt="" width="685" height="554" />

Dr. Kraehe’s profile also says she “employs interdisciplinary theories and methodologies that draw from the social sciences, visual and cultural studies, critical race theory, women of color feminisms, and justice studies.”

Dr. Kraehe co-edited "<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Palgrave_Handbook_of_Race_and_the_Ar/VvBjDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=The+Palgrave+Handbook+on+Race+and+the+Arts+in+Education&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Palgrave Handbook on Race and the Arts in Education"</a> in which the authors claimed:

“Dominant understanding of ‘the arts’ and what it means to be an artist are profoundly shaped by racial logics and racial assumptions. Yet, because racism is foundational to Eurocentric understandings of culture and cultural production, it is always implicit in how the arts and artists are recognized and valued.”

In chapter one of their forthcoming book, “<a href="https://www.davisart.com/sites/default/assets/File/race-and-art-education-chapter-one.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race and Art Education</a>,” Dr. Kraehe and her co-author wrote that despite major cultural changes in the art field:

“There remains a third rail for many art educations—'big ideas’ and topics that are too emotionally and politically charged to go near. . As non-White women who have been engaged in art and art education for more than 50 years combined, we believe that third rail is race—or more precisely, racism.”

For the Spring 2024 semester, Klotz is scheduled to teach “Special Topics in Women’s Studies” and “Introduction to LGBTQ and Queer of Color Texts.” The latter <a href="https://gws.arizona.edu/course/englgws-351a-introduction-lgbtq-and-queer-color-texts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course description</a> simply states, “Survey with emphasis on writers in their literary and historical contexts.

Huffington Post continued, “The university concede[d] in a <a href="https://media.oregonlive.com/education_impact/other/PSUanswer.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">court filing</a> that Klotz exchanged more than 200 emails with [the former student] from 2009-2012, many of which about sexual topics…”

<a href="https://coe.arizona.edu/person/nolan-l-cabrera" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nolan Cabrera</a> is a Professor of Educational Policy Studies and Practice at the University of Arizona. 

In an article for <a href="https://www.tcpress.com/blog/dont-notice-white-students-sitting-quad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Teachers College Press</a>, titled “Why Don’t We Notice the White Students Sitting Together in The Quad?”, Cabrera accused white students of “perpetuating” racial segregation on campuses, and deems segregation to be a white issue. 

“Racial segregation remains a persistent issue on campuses, and White people are the primary perpetrators of it… Campus segregation, if named accurately, is a distinctly White issue.”

Much of the article addresses certain customs and institutions that are not specific to a non-white race, which are therefore deemed to belong to the white race, according to Cabrera. For instance, he says the following of student unions and certain months:

“Newsflash, there is a White Student Union. It is just called ‘The Student Union.’”

“White History Month traditionally goes by the names of January, March, April, etc.”

In 2019, Cabrera published a <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/White_Guys_on_Campus/ay5SDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">book</a> titled “White Guys on Campus Racism, White Immunity, and the Myth of "Post-Racial" Higher Education.” The first chapter contains the title “The Unbearable Whiteness of Being” which is a play on Milan Kundera’s 1984 novel “The Unbearable Lightness of Being.”

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-3816" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-20-at-12.27.25 PM.png" alt="" width="711" height="487" />

In this chapter, Cabrera compares Capitalism to whiteness in the following manner: 

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-3817" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-20-at-12.31.51 PM-1024x216.png" alt="" width="720" height="152" />

In 2024, Cabrera wrote a book titled “<a href="https://www.tcpress.com/whiteness-in-the-ivory-tower-9780807769164">Whiteness in the Ivory Tower</a>.”  The publisher’s description states the following purpose of the book: 

“Whiteness is the foundation of racism and racial violence within higher education institutions. It is deeply embedded in the ideologies and organizational structures of colleges and universities that guide practices, policies, and research. The purpose of this book is not to simply uncover these practices but, rather, to intentionally center the harm that Whiteness causes to communities of Color broadly in order to transform these practices.”

In the book, Cabrera describes “whitelash,” which is to him a response to “antiracist victories.” He lists several examples of “whitelash." (See excerpt below).

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-3818" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-20-at-12.32.51 PM.png" alt="" width="755" height="297" />

Cabrera uses a figure to demonstrate a “theory of whiteness in higher education.” The figure shows how white supremacy is allegedly the “foundational structure of society” which perpetuates white dominance and “anti-BIPOC violence.” Certain aspects of whiteness are listed  and linked to each other and are shown as the cause of anti-BIPOC tendencies among whites. (See image below).

<a href="https://hunter-graduate.catalog.cuny.edu/departments/ART-HTR/faculty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shellyne Rodriguez</a> is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the City University of New York &#8211; Hunter College. 
On May 2, Rodriguez approached a Students for Life display booth and berated the students manning the booth (see video below): 
“You’re not educating s***. This is f***ing propaganda. This is violent. You’re triggering my students.”
After Rodriguez criticized the students, the male student behind the booth apologized that the display was, according to Rodriguez, triggering her students. Rodriguez responded, “No you’re not [sorry], because you can’t even have a f***ing baby.” Pointing to a fetus model on the table she said, “You don’t even know what this is.

On May 23, a reporter for the <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/23/nyc-college-professor-shellyne-rodriguez-holds-machete-to-post-reporters-neck/">New York Post</a> approached the home of Rodriguez to question the professor on her recent actions at Hunter’s Students for Life booth. Upon knocking, she yelled from behind her door, “Get the f–k away from my door, or I’m gonna chop you up with this machete!” Moments after Rodriguez made that threat, she opened the door and came out with a machete. Then she put the weapon up to the neck of the reporter briefly (see image below).

After threatening the reporter with a machete, Rodriguez said, “Get the f–k away from my door! Get the f–k away from my door!” before returning to her apartment. 
When the reporter and his photographer left, Rodriguez followed them with her machete and made the following verbal threats (see image below quote):
 “If I see you on this block one more f–king time, you’re gonna … Get the f–k off the block! Get the f–k out of here, yo!”

The Post reports that Rodriguez “briefly chased The Post’s photographer down the street to his car before coming back to kick the reporter in the shins.”
The spokesman for Hunter College told The Post that the university responded to the professor’s actions with “outrage,” and affirmed, “We will take swift and appropriate action.”  
A few hours after the incident was reported, Rodriguez was fired by Hunter College, according to a recent update by the <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/23/nyc-college-professor-shellyne-rodriguez-who-threatened-post-reporter-with-machete-is-fired/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Post</a>.

Hunter College

Dr. <a href="http://www.hunterurban.org/faculty/matthew-lasner">Mattew Lasne</a>r is an Associate Professor of Urban Affairs and Planning at Hunter College. He harassed Ivanka Trump on a recent flight while she was flying with her children. He has also previously said he believes a shirt which says "Reagan/Bush" is hate speech.

<a href="https://hunter-graduate.catalog.cuny.edu/departments/ART-HTR/faculty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shellyne Rodriguez</a> is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the City University of New York - Hunter College. 

On May 2, Rodriguez approached a Students for Life display booth and berated the students manning the booth (see video below): 
“You’re not educating s***. This is f***ing propaganda. This is violent. You’re triggering my students.”
After Rodriguez criticized the students, the male student behind the booth apologized that the display was, according to Rodriguez, triggering her students. Rodriguez responded, “No you’re not [sorry], because you can’t even have a f***ing baby.” Pointing to a fetus model on the table she said, “You don’t even know what this is. Get this s*** the f*** out of here,” and then shoved a briefcase on the table towards the students along with some stacks of pamphlets. Upon doing this, Rodriguez left the booth.
