Amin Husain

As of January 25, 2024, Husain has been <a href="https://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/news/2024/january/statement-by-nyu-spokesperson-john-beckman-regarding-amin-husain.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspended</a> by NYU for remarks made about Zionism and Hamas during a teach-in arranged by Students for Justice in Palestine. A shortened video of the talk can be viewed in a report compiled by <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/nyu-prof-tells-students-hamas-atrocities-untrueu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Free Press</a>. 
During the lecture, which took place at The New School, Husain made several controversial statements about the Israel and Palestine conflict. Mentioning other locations that are friendly to Palestinians, the professor suggested such is not the case in a “Zionist city” like New York. He also said he embraced the “Anti-Semitic” epithet that had been attached to him by the <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Amin_Husain" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canary Mission</a> for his views on the Palestinian resistance efforts towards Israel:
“I have a petition going around, right, because I’m antisemitic. I won the honors of antisemitic multiple times.”
During the teach-in, Husain explained his solution for those who “don’t like Hamas” and justified the political and military motives of the various Palestinian resistance groups. The professor stated,
 “If you don’t like Hamas.. free the land and the people. But if you don’t like Hamas, also read their <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/hamas-2017-document-full" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charter</a> in 2017… These groups are fighting for the liberation of their people and their land. That’s a right. You do it.”
In October 2023, a Change.org <a href="https://www.change.org/p/demand-the-dismissal-of-nyu-professor-amin-hussain-for-promoting-hate-speech">petition</a> was put in place by NYU alumni calling for Husain’s dismissal from the university.
Husain said he participated in the First Intifada riots in Palestine in 1987. <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/nyu-prof-tells-students-hamas-atrocities-untrueu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Free Press</a> noted “At a Times Square rally in 2016, [Husain] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1lhMCj4ESw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a>, ‘Living 18 years in Palestine, I was fighting in the first uprising, I was throwing rocks, Molotov cocktails, the like.’”
Concerning the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023, Husain denied that any Israeli citizens were raped or beheaded. He alleges such events to be lies put forth by the media:
“Don’t take what the media says. It’s really important… Because these kind of questions try to put you on the defensive. They try to say. . .‘Oh my God, you’re supporting rapists and people that behead babies,’ both of which, you know… we know it’s not true.”
 As of the publication Husain has yet to comment on his suspension or the statements that prompted it.

<a href="https://gallatin.nyu.edu/people/faculty/amh20.html">Amin Husain</a> is a part-time faculty member at New York University and the Pratt Institute. According to the university’s website, Husain’s work focuses on “resistance and liberation, movement generated theory and practice.”
Husain is also confounded and directs the NYC-based activist group, “<a href="https://decolonizethisplace.org/">Decolonize This Place</a>” (DTP).  According to their website, DTP events center around “Indigenous Struggle, Black Liberation, Free Palestine, Global Wage Workers, and De-Gentrification.”
Husain and DTP are known for their extreme rhetoric and aggressive confrontations with law enforcement. Husain and DTP utilize ANTIFA style-tactics during protests. The <a href="https://decolonizethisplace.org/">homepage</a> of DTP regularly features videos of burning police vehicles.
Prior to the Museum of Natural History’s decision to remove their statue of Theodore Roosevelt, Husain joined a chorus of activists demanding that the statue be removed. DTP itself <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5e0c57d86cc9226827c754/t/5ee7ad184833d0007a2078fd/1592241433767/How+To+Take+Down+A+Monument_Poster.jpg">posted</a> a detailed graphic with instructions on toppling statues.
In January, DTP posted the following graphic for an upcoming <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=14391">protest</a> against the NYP. The damage from the protests led by Husain resulted in 13 arrests and over $100,000 in <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/02/15/nyu-professor-founded-anarchist-group-that-attacked-subways-last-month/">damages</a> to the NYC subway system.
As a member of NYC Solidarity With Palestine, Husain is known for using his position to entwine his anti-police and anti-Israel views. Husain projected his radicalism at the June “No To Annexation” rally, hosted by the anti-Israel group <a href="https://www.wolpalestine.com/about">Within Our Lifetimes</a>. Husain can be seen telling the crowd that police &#8220;are our enemy&#8221; in a video captured by the Middle-East watchdog the <a href="https://www.memri.org/tv/no-to-annexation-anti-israel-rally-abolish-police-israel-american-government-death-to-america">Middle East Research Institute</a>.

At an Al-Quds Day rally in 2016, Husain spoke <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1lhMCj4ESw&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=325">glowingly</a> of Islamic Jihadists.

New York University

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

<a href="http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/faculty/Mark_Crispin_Miller">Dr. Mark Crispin Miller</a>, a professor at New York University warned that President Bush was spreading propaganda in order to form a theocracy in the United States. He also compared Bush to Hitler, saying “All the major war-drives in modern history... in Germany, in the Soviet Union, and in the Middle East -- have been impelled by people who believed that they were at risk, that they were being persecuted, that they faced annihilation. Hitler actually believed that 'world Jewry' threatened Germany, and that his bloody enterprise was a means of self-defense against the Jews. We know all too well that al-Qaeda's people universally regard the Jews and Christians as plotting to wipe out Islam. And the Christo-fascist types now in control of the United States believe that they're the victims of non-Christians."

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

As of January 25, 2024, Husain has been <a href="https://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/news/2024/january/statement-by-nyu-spokesperson-john-beckman-regarding-amin-husain.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspended</a> by NYU for remarks made about Zionism and Hamas during a teach-in arranged by Students for Justice in Palestine.

In a piece for <a href="https://theconversation.com/trumps-promotion-of-an-image-of-strength-after-assassination-attempt-borrows-from-authoritarian-playbook-235038" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Conversation</a>, Ben-Ghiat wrote about the personal and sociopolitical effect of the July 13 assassination attempt on President-Donald Trump. She compared the assassination attempt with attempts made on fascist leaders in the 20th century:

“The effects of the assassination attempt on Trump are so far in line with authoritarian history. Chief among its aftereffects is a boost to Trump’s victimhood persona.” 

Ben-Ghiat continued on the same subject:
“[W]ith each failed attempt, the personality cult themes about the leader’s macho toughness, resilience and invincibility gain credence among his followers. This was certainly the case with Castro and Mussolini, and it has been the case so far with former President Donald Trump.”
The professor further claims that Trump wearing a bandage to cover his gunshot wound is a gesture similar to that of Benito Mussolini, who wore a large bandage on his nose after he was almost assassinated. 

According to Ben-Ghiat, these attempts-–including the one on Trump—have been used throughout history to justify authoritarianism:

“The assassination attempt on Trump may be used as justification for these measures, just as other attacks have been used by other authoritarians in history.”

Ben-Ghiat claims the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, were a “self-coup” by former President Donald Trump that influenced other similar alleged “coups” throughout the world. In a July 2024 blog <a href="https://lucid.substack.com/p/autocrats-like-trump-and-maduro-want" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a>, Ben-Ghiat wrote the following:

“Although Trump’s ‘self-coup’ failed (the term used for attempts by incumbents to stay in power illegally), it was influential abroad, inspiring Jair Bolsonaro’s failed Jan. 8, 2023 Brazilian insurrection. Having had a coup that led to a decades-long dictatorship, the Brazilians took the danger of propagating electoral fraud seriously, convicting Bolsonaro for it and banning him from politics until 2030.”  

The professor then drew connections between Chinese head of state Xi Jinping and President-elect Donald Trump:

“When Trump <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/184076/trumps-alarming-new-rant-praising-dictators-shows-media-failing-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">praises</a> Chinese head of state Xi Jinping for his ability to rule ‘with an iron fist,’ he is praising a situation in which opposition parties don’t exist, which makes elections moot and ‘simplifies’ political life.”

At the conclusion of her post, Ben-Ghiat claimed President-electTrumps' goal is to do away with elections altogether:

“The endgame of MAGA election denial is not challenging this or that election, but convincing Americans that elections as a practice are unnecessary. Trump would be delighted to relieve us of the ‘burden; of voting, just like Mussolini did for Italians a century ago.”

Around the same time as the publication of The Conversation piece, Ben-Ghiat did an interview with <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/13/ruth-ben-ghiat-strongmen-book-authoritarian-playbook">The Guardian</a> titled “Rule of the lawless: what does the authoritarian playbook look like?”

In the interview, Ben-Ghiat claimed that President-elect Trump will greatly benefit from the U.S. Supreme Court <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-939_e2pg.pdf">ruling</a> in favor of presidents having broad immunity from criminal prosecution. She also stated that Trump ran for president only to escape legal issues:

“Trump is part of the category of authoritarians who run for office, to get back into office, because they have charges against them, and they must get into power so they can make their legal problems go away. Regular politicians don’t want to run for office if they have indictments or charges, but the strongman must run for office because he must make himself feel safe from prosecution… Authoritarianism is about replacing the rule of law with rule by the lawless…”

In another interview in June with <a href="https://www.project-syndicate.org/onpoint/how-authoritarian-leaders-dismantle-democracy-trump-orban-netanyahu-meloni-by-ruth-ben-ghiat-2024-06-1-2024-06?h=zqERgfHOrWvhXfSv10C5SHJXn2IpYOHBijyEtez%2fd0M%3d&amp;]" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Project Syndicate</a>, Ben-Ghiat focused on Trump’s alleged tyrannical goal regarding presidential immunity: 

“I have no doubt that Trump would try to exert dictatorial power so that he could end his legal troubles and repress his critics and investigators without consequences.”

“Now add Trump’s quest to achieve personal immunity for any crimes he will commit, his efforts to attract more unscrupulous cronies by promising pardons, and his vow to grant police officers immunity from prosecution. It becomes easy to see how the rule of law would be transformed into rule by the lawless, with Trump as chief thug.”

Her <a href="https://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/faculty/ruth-ben-ghiat.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">professional biography lists her as an expert on fascism, authoritarianism, war, propaganda, and Donald Trump.</a> She is the author of the book, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Strongmen-Mussolini-Present-Ruth-Ben-Ghiat/dp/1324001542" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Strongman: From Mussolini to the Present</a>,” and frequently makes appearances on CNN and MSNBC.

Dr. Ben-Ghiat frequently criticizes conservatives, characterizing them as violent and an outright threat to democracy. She additionally alleges that supporters of the second-amendment birthed a culture that directly resulted in the January 6th “insurrection.”

In an article for CNN—titled, “Parental control is a smokescreen tactic for right-wing activists”—Dr. Ben-Ghiat <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/14/opinions/parental-control-smoke-screen-right-wing-activists-ben-ghiat/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denounces parents who object to COVID-19 restrictions in schools</a>.

She is referring to <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/orange-county-parents-protest-vaccine-mandates-at-school-board-meeting/ar-AAPZFid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nation-wide protests occurring at county and district school boards</a>. Peaking during the Fall 2021 semester, parents with <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/education/2021/11/03/virginia-parents-democrats-crt-transgender-policies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">school-age children are vocally objecting to mandatory masking, COVID-19 vaccinations, and curriculum containing elements of critical race theory.</a> The epicenter of protests against county school boards stemmed from Loudon County, which saw Board Members <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/10/27/loudoun-county-parents-demand-resignations-over-sexual-assault/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allegedly participate in a cover-up of a sexual assault in a local high school.</a>

Users can learn more about <a href="https://www.schoolboardwatchlist.org/districts/loudoncountypublicschools" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Loudon County and other school boards by visiting TPUSA’s School Board Watchlist</a>.

Dr. Ben-Ghiat describes these parents as elements of the “authoritarian culture” that is eroding democracy. She specifically cites their opposition to mandatory masking and vaccination of children, alleging it stems from a “Q-Anon” belief.

She states that “anti-vaccine militants” and “white-christian evangelicals” are using “parental rights” as a smokescreen to abolish private education. She decries parents allegedly “censoring” books that would teach children about the “centrality of racism and slavery” to this country’s founding. She further criticizes calls for parental control in education, describing it as the installation of “authoritarian culture” in towns and local school boards.

In a separate article for the Washington Post—titled,”<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/10/26/gun-violence-authoritarianism-normalization/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">America’s Gun Culture is Priming Us for Authoritarianism</a>,”—Dr. Ben-Ghiat alleges the Capitol Riots are the inevitable result of an armed citizenry.

She is referring to the incident surrounding January 6, 2021 at the Capital <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/02/09/965472049/the-capitol-siege-the-arrested-and-their-stories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in which a number of protestors breached the Capitol’s Doors during certification of the 2020 Presidential Election</a>, some violently so. Despite claims to the contrary, even the FBI has determined that <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/fbi-confirms-there-was-no-insurrection-on-january-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no evidence exists that any rioters coordinated to commit an “insurrection.</a>”

Dr. Ben-Ghiat alleges that general access to lethal weapons enables “mass death” and a “democratic decline” in America. She bizarrely connects the January 6th “insurrection” to civilian ownership of firearms, alleging the later enables “mass death” and desensitizes others to human life.

Dr. Ben-Ghiat further alleges that gun owners are willing to harm others in exchange for their freedoms, alleging that no loss of life seems to deter them:

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

<a href="https://its.law.nyu.edu/facultyprofiles/index.cfm?fuseaction=profile.overview&amp;personid=47170" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deborah Archer</a> is a Professor of Clinical Law and Co-Faculty Director of the Center on Race, Inequity, and the law at NYU School of Law. Courses taught by Archer include the titles “Race and Inequality Colloquium”, “Civil Rights Clinic Seminar”, and “Critical Race Theory Seminar.” The <a href="https://its.law.nyu.edu/courses/description.cfm?id=29639" target="_blank" rel="noopener">description for CRT Seminary</a> says,

“This seminar explores Critical Race Theory, a movement that examines the relationship among race, racism, and the U.S. legal system and the role of law in constructing and upholding racial hierarchy…We will also consider the theoretical promises of CRT, its application to the law, and its practical and theoretical limitations in addressing contemporary legal issues.”

In 2020, Archer published “<a href="https://cdn.vanderbilt.edu/vu-wp0/wp-content/uploads/sites/278/2020/10/19130728/White-Mens-Roads-Through-Black-Mens-Homes-Advancing-Racial-Equity-Through-Highway-Reconstruction.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Men’s Road Through Black Men’s Homes”: Advancing Racial Equity Through Highway Reconstruction</a>” in the Vanderbilt Law Review. The paper discusses segregated public transportation in the United States prior to Civil Rights reform. Archer’s introduction says,

“The passage of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, popularly known as the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act or the Interstate Highway Act, buoyed both highway construction and the destruction of Black communities. Often under the guise of ‘slum removal,’ federal and state officials' purposes targeted Black communities to make a way for massive highway projects.”

She continued,

“In other communities, the highway spared Black homes but became a permanent racial barrier between white and Black neighborhoods, further entrenching racial segregation and walling off economic opportunities.”

Archer’s efforts and research to end racial segregation continue through the Center on Race, Inequity, and the Law. The Center published a video titled “The Enduring Problem of School Segregation” in which civil rights activists and lawmakers are interviewed regarding the progress of integration in the American education systems.

“The most grotesque feature of the 2016 election is the razor-thin spectrum of solutions proposed by the front runners to a historic set of problems…no viable candidate [offered] any hope for a radically more equal society: the policies on offer would merely mitigate the dire inequality that has been growing since Reagan…The United States is now, in effect, an oligarchy.”

In the chapter Sex Class, she says, 

“Gender currently divides the working class — women’s struggles are often pushed aside as if they are not half the population — but it shouldn’t be central to our struggle, an asset…The first step toward gender justice would require a reexamination of the nuclear family.”

After the overturning of Roe v. Wade in June 2022, Leonard — who serves as the editor-in-chief for Lux Magazine — published an opinion editorial titled “<a href="https://lux-magazine.com/article/the-next-abortion-strategy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Next Abortion Strategy</a>.” In the opening paragraph, she writes,

“Some part of me laughs as these conservatives grasping for control over women when somewhere, right now, a pregnant person is self-managing an abortion and a hundred Brett Kavanaughs can’t stop it. We’ve always had abortions and we will tomorrow and the next day.”

<a href="https://www.sps.nyu.edu/homepage/academics/faculty-directory/19002-gabrielle-n-simpson.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gabrilelle Gambrell</a> is “an Adjunct Instructor in Marketing and Public Relations at New York University (NYU). According to her university profile, she “teaches graduate-level courses in integrated marketing, digital and social media, media relations, corporate communications and more.”

In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzjy8qMUNi4">program</a> for the Dr. Phil Show, Gambrell was consulted for her opinions on censorship and the effect of “offensive” tweets on a person’s job. 

<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mzjy8qMUNi4" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

Responding to Dr. Phil’s question about the censorship of “hate speech,” Gambrell stated: 

“I am extremely in favor of the First Amendment…but we have seen things that happen when social media is not censored…where there’s negativity there should be censorship.” She cited what she deemed were instances of racist, homophobic, and other types of “nasty” behavior recorded on social media posts, but gave no examples.

Gambrell believes that, “In certain instances where [a social media post is] harmful, in certain instances where it can hurt people, where there’s negative intent, there should be censorship.” 

The NYU professor — who formerly held jobs in U.S. media — went on to say she feels satisfaction when users of hate speech lose their jobs because of what they posted on social media:
“In some instances where I see viral videos where someone is clearly racist or homophobic or anything nasty and then the video goes viral, they lose their job, I’m like ‘score’ because that person does not deserve to have this title which can impact certain communities, they need to work on themselves.”
Gambrell’s <a href="https://www.giftofgabrielle.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> states that she is “a champion for diversity, equity and inclusion,” which are also problems she seeks to solve through “e​​xecutive, corporate and brand consulting services.”

<a href="https://as.nyu.edu/faculty/isabella-hammad.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Isabella Hammad</a> is an Artist in Residence at New York University. She is also an author and novelist. 

In an interview with <a href="https://www.worldliteraturetoday.org/2021/summer/always-more-place-conversation-about-palestine-isabella-hammad-keija-parssinen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Literature Today</a>, Hammad discussed her book “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Parisian-Isabella-Hammad/dp/0802129439" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Parisian</a>.” While discussing her novel’s protagonist “Midhat,” Hammad claims that Western individualism cannot apply to those who are not European or American:
“You could say that Midhat initially embraces a model of Western individualism, which he then realizes doesn’t apply to him, because the model of the Western individual is only available to the white European or American.”
She proceeds to discuss one of her purposes in writing the novel:
“So if it serves an educational purpose in enlightening some readers who, for example, might have fallen victim to the idea that before the state of Israel was created, Palestine was “a land without a people,” then I’ll be happy about that. But I think that in order for such a thing to happen effectively, the book has to succeed as a novel on its own terms, and it must convince the reader aesthetically and emotionally.” 
To close the interview, Hammad addressed her desire for the Palestine/Israel conflict:
“I don’t want to talk about hope—but I can talk about dreaming and desire. What do I desire? No more house demolitions, no more separation wall, no more administrative detention, no more withholding Palestinian corpses, no more separate roads for Palestinians and Israelis, no more deliberately complicated bureaucratic procedures, no more making the act of staying where you live an exhausting act of resistance, no more arms deals with America, no more testing out weapons and surveillance technology on Palestinians, no more ideology that perceives Palestinians as a demographic threat, no more ‘mowing the lawn’ in Gaza, no more night raids, no more stealing water and selling it back, no more siege, no more killing unarmed civilians, no more checkpoints, no more, no more.”
She continued:
“It’s easy to say what you don’t want and harder to say what you do. Let’s start with this: civil and political rights for everyone on the land. My dream is that one day Palestine will no longer be a cause, it will just be a place, where some of us happen to be from, and we could fly into the airport without being interrogated and drive over to Nablus for lunch and then go further up to Akka and swim in the sea . . .”

Hillary Rodham Clinton is Columbia University’s professor of practice in the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA). A <a href="https://www.sipa.columbia.edu/news/secretary-hillary-rodham-clinton-will-join-sipa-faculty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> from the dean of SIPA says Clinton is “now bringing her leadership and expertise to SIPA…to prepare the next generation of global policy leaders…”
On January 5, 2023, <a href="https://news.columbia.edu/news/hillary-rodham-clinton-join-columbia-community" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbia News announced</a> that Clinton “will help lead a major SIPA effort to convene outstanding policy thinkers from around the world to develop innovative policy solutions.” The publication also says she will help college executives “explore the fundamental questions on how to advance efforts to renew democracy and foster effective engagements with women and youth in [the United States] and around the world.&#8221;
Columbia University <a href="https://www.sipa.columbia.edu/situationroom">announced</a> on March 22 that Clinton will be co-teaching a foreign policy course with Dean Keren Yarhi-Milo titled &#8220;Inside the Situation Room.&#8221; The university stated that the goal of the course is: 
&#8220;[T]o give students a holistic understanding of the many facets of foreign policy decision-making. As future participants in the policy process, this course will provide vital background that they can draw on should they, too, find themselves facing high-pressure decisions with implications for national security and global stability. It will also enhance their ability to counsel intelligence officers, military leaders, advisors, or other government officials by improving their ability to anticipate other actors&#8217; actions, perceptions, and motivation.&#8221;
Students at Columbia University must apply in order to take the course. 
Accompanying the course announcement is a skit featuring Clinton and Yarhi-Milo (see video below). In the skit, the co-teachers talk about basic details of the course after scenes are shown of students reacting to the news that Clinton “is running again,” (that is, running a new course). Clinton says that she will cover “what it was actually like in the [situation] room during the Bin-Laden Raid, the Iran Sanctions, the Gaza Cease Fire, [and] you name it.”

Published &#8211; March 30, 2023
EARLY YEARS 
Clinton—who graduated in 1969 from Wellesley College as Hillary Rodham—allegedly wrote her senior thesis on political activist and grassroots strategist Sal Alinski. In 1972, he <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Rules-Radicals-Practical-Primer-Realistic/dp/0679721134/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1FU7H88O8OXHA&amp;keywords=rules+for+radicals+by+saul+d.+alinsky&amp;qid=1673991341&amp;sprefix=rules+for+%2Caps%2C203&amp;sr=8-1&amp;asin=0679721134&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authored</a> “Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realist Radicals,” which centers on disrupting societies through revolutionary community organizing. Alinski infamously dedicated the volume of writing to the fallen angel and nemesis of God, Lucifer. Alinski is rumored to be Clinton’s “mentor” and a major influence on her flux from a stalwart Republican to a progressive Democrat by graduation. 
Although Clinton’s thesis is referenced in multiple media publications, the full composition is neither accessible through online archives nor searchable on her <a href="https://www.wellesley.edu/news/journalists/hillary-rodham-clinton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wellesley alumni profile</a>. According to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna17388372" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a>, the academic paper is “available to anyone who visits the archive room of the prestigious women’s college outside Boston.”
Throughout her time at Wellesley, Clinton served as the head of Wellesley’s Young Republicans Club from 1966-67; she also pursued a research assistant internship for the House Republican Conference during the summer of 1968 in D.C. A <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/04/11/395302391/5-things-you-should-know-about-hillary-clinton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Public Radio</a> (NPR) article says, “In high school [Clinton]&#8230;considered herself a Republican and even became a <a href="https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/minute/barry_goldwater_of_arizona.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Goldwater</a> Girl.” NPR included a quote from Clinton’s book “Living History”:
“‘My ninth-grade history teacher…encouraged me to read Senator Barry Goldwater’s book, The Conscience of a Conservative. That inspired me to write my term paper on the American conservative movement…I liked Senator Goldwater because he was a rugged individualist who swam against the political tide.’”
Clinton earned a Juris Doctorate from Yale Law School in 1973, joined the University of Arkansas Law School faculty in 1975, and was appointed by President Jimmy Carter as a member of the board of the Legal Services Corporation in 1978. Clinton’s law career includes the controversial case of a 12-year-old sexual abuse survivor Kathy Shelton. Clinton, who served as legal counsel for rapist Thomas Alfred Taylor, worked to shorten his prison sentence. 
According to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3729466/Child-rape-victim-comes-forward-time-40-years-call-Hillary-Clinton-liar-defended-rapist-smearing-blocking-evidence-callously-laughing-knew-guilty.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DailyMail</a>, “One of Clinton’s first moves was to raise questions about the credibility of the…victim. In a July 18, 1975 affidavit, Clinton asked the court to order Shelton to undergo a psychiatric examination from a doctor selected by Taylor’s legal team.” Clinton accused Shelton of wanting attention from older men and subjected her to intense psychological interrogations. Clinton negotiated a plea deal and Taylor spent one year in county jail.
SECRETARY OF STATE 
From 2009-2013, Clinton served as Secretary of State in the Obama administration. During this time, she used private email servers instead of State Department accounts to send classified, sensitive information. According to a <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/news/press-releases/press-releases/statement-by-fbi-director-james-b-comey-on-the-investigation-of-secretary-hillary-clinton2019s-use-of-a-personal-e-mail-system" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> released by the FBI, “Secretary Clinton used several different servers and administrators of those servers during her four years at the State Department, and used numerous mobile devices to view and send e-mail on that personal domain.” 
The FBI goes further into detail on thousands of work-related emails that Clinton withheld, several of which included highly sensitive information on unclassified personal servers. The FBI also discovered Clinton was using her personal email in and out of the country.
In 2016, <a href="https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/clinton-foundation-donations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Investors Business Daily</a> reported that Clinton and her organization, the Clinton Foundation, were also undergoing an FBI investigation for violating “tax laws by converting donations into personal or political use.” An annual report (below) shows donations plummeting when Clinton was not running for a public office, and sharp increases when she ran for President of the United States. After Clinton lost the election, donations fell by 88%.

The Clintons, as well as advocates for the foundation, defended the organization’s reputation insisting that “the foundation was doing great work for mankind.” According to the <a href="https://observer.com/2016/08/the-six-clinton-foundation-scandals-everyone-needs-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Observer</a>, foreign countries such as “Australia, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, and a Canadian government agency…all donated to the Clinton Foundation.” <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/21/us/politics/hillary-clinton-presidential-campaign-charity.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a> also reported that Saudi Arabia, a country that heavily restricts the rights of women, donated more than $10 million to the foundation during Hillary’s <a href="https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2016 Presidential Campaign</a>.

RUSSIAGATE 
Clinton spent her time in public office leveraging several foreign connections. During her time as First Lady, from 1993-2001, Clinton <a href="https://spectator.org/chinagate-and-the-clintons/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">solicited foreign donations to the Democratic National Committee</a> (DNC) from businessmen with connections to the Chinese Communist Party. The scandal would eventually be known as “Chinagate.” 
While serving as Secretary of State, Clinton approved the sale of <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2017/10/23/7-uranium-one-facts-every-american-should-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">20% of U.S. uranium reserves</a> to a Russian company. The financial backers of the venture funneled $145 million to the Clinton Foundation before the sale. Bill Clinton was paid $500,000 for a speech in Moscow the same month the deal was finalized.  
In October 2016, Clinton released a statement via advisor Jake Sullivan—who was later appointed as <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-jake-sullivan-national-security-adviser/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Security Advisor</a> to Joe Biden— accusing Donald Trump of coordinating with Vladimir Putin to hack the DNC’s servers and release sensitive information. She alleged this was accomplished through a backchannel to the Kremlin through Alfa Bank.

BENGHAZI 
On September 11, 2012, four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, were <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/what-happened-during-after-benghazi-attack-2012" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killed during an attack</a> on an American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. The <a href="https://www.congress.gov/113/crpt/srpt134/CRPT-113srpt134.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate Select Committee’s Benghazi Report</a> shows Clinton ignored the “ample strategic warning that [the] security situation in eastern Libya was deteriorating and that U.S. facilities and personnel were at risk in Benghazi.” 
Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/286438-obstruction-lies-and-dishonor-hillarys-benghazi-legacy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">testified that he had identified</a> “three distinct capabilities” to deploy to Benghazi by 6 pm and had “issued the order to deploy the identified assets” by 7 pm. However, at 7:30 pm, a “Deputies Meeting” was convened in the White House. The meeting featured Clinton and deputies from State, the Pentagon, and the White House, while both the President and Secretary of Defense were absent. 
During this meeting, Clinton obstructed the direct order from the President, noting that her “State department emphasized any deployment of U.S. Forces into Libya needed approval from the Government of Libya.” 
The Americans in Benghazi were ultimately rescued by a group of former Gaddafi loyalists not affiliated with the Libyan government while American forces were in a “stand-by posture” awaiting the resolution of Secretary Clinton’s obstruction.  After the attacks, Secretary Clinton <a href="https://www.judicialwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Benghazi-Ops-Alert-FOIA-Page-10-11.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued an official statement</a>, claiming the assault may have been in “a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet.” 
However, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2015/03/03/new-documents-blow-lid-off-obamaclinton-benghazi-scandal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">emails uncovered through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request</a> by Judicial Watch show that Clinton’s top three staff members were forwarded an email on September 11, 2012, at 6:06 PM with the subject line “Update 2: Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack (SBU).” The email, from State Department Foreign Service Officer Lawrence Randolph, read: “(SBU) Embassy Tripoli reports the group claimed responsibility on Facebook and Twitter and call for an attack on Embassy Tripoli.” Despite knowing this, Clinton and other government officials stuck to the theory that the attacks were in response to a YouTube video.
Clinton will assume the position with Columbia University on February 1, 2023.

Columbia University

<a href="https://journalism.columbia.edu/faculty/dale-maharidge">Dale Maharidge</a> is a Journalism Professor at Columbia University who ironically does not take well to criticism. After finding out he was under investigation on Project Veritas' "To Catch A Journalist" he reacted with a series of explicit and sophomoric rants on social media.

<a href="http://socialwork.columbia.edu/faculty/adjunct/kathy-boudin/">Dr. Kathy Boudin</a> teaches social work classes at Columbia University, despite having a lengthy criminal record. Boudin, a convicted murderer and a member of Bill Ayers' domestic terrorism group the Weather Underground, had no problem finding a job teaching at Columbia. According to The Daily Beast "In 1984, Boudin, a member of the Weather Underground, a violent, oafish association of upper-class “revolutionaries,” pled guilty to second-degree murder in association with the infamous 1981 Brinks armored car robbery in Nyack, New York. Babbling in the language of anti-racism and anti-imperialism, Boudin assisted in ending the life of three people, including Waverly Brown, the first black police officer on the Nyack police force, and left nine children fatherless. She was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. In 2003, Boudin was released; by 2008 she had landed a coveted teaching position at an Ivy League university."

<a href="https://www.law.columbia.edu/faculty/kayum-ahmed">Kayum Ahmed</a> is a Lecturer in Law at Columbia University. According to his university profile, “Ahmed serves as Division Director at the Open Society Foundations (OSF) where he leads the global portfolio on access to medicines and innovation at the Public Health Program based in New York.”

On April 22, Ahmed, along with several other faculty members, wrote and signed a <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/opinion/2024/04/22/untenured-faculty-stand-in-solidarity-with-our-students/">letter</a> in support of the protesters and against their treatment by the Columbia University administration during the pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campus. 

Addressing Columbia University students directly, the letter states: 
“Our message is simple: We stand with you in solidarity, we are appalled by what has been happening on our campus, and we want to help you reclaim your University.”
Concerning the protesters’ treatment by the New York Police Department and university administrators, the writers state the following in their defense: 
“Some of you have been arbitrarily suspended by your school, <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/18/shafik-authorizes-nypd-to-sweep-gaza-solidarity-encampment-officers-in-riot-gear-arrest-over-100/">arrested and physically removed</a> from campus by the New York Police Department, told to leave your dorms, and surveilled and threatened by University administrators. Many more of you have learned about these disturbing actions, directly or by rumor, and wonder whether you will be targeted, too, for engaging in activism that the University supposedly prides itself on fostering, for protesting on the basis of your sincere moral and political views, or simply for holding those views.”
The writers claim that both students and faculty have “real authority” over campus events: 
“In the weeks and months ahead, we look forward to working alongside you to restore norms of shared governance at the University and to ensure that students and faculty alike have real authority over what happens on our campus, rather than simply being informed of decisions taken by small groups of administrators. We want to help you to take back the University.”
The letter concludes with the following statement in support of the protesting students: 
“Most of all, we want you to feel at home here. We deeply regret that so many of you do not feel that way any longer—or that you never did. We are committed to working to change the University so that you do.”
In October 2017, Professor Kayum Ahmed <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/lecturer-files-discrimination-complaint-speaker/10009" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed</a> a “discrimination and harassment complaint” against the College Republicans after they invited Tommy Robinson to speak on campus, arguing that the invitation itself was an “act of violence” against him.

<a href="https://www.northeastern.edu/law/faculty/directory/williams-p.html">Patricia Williams </a>is a Professor of Law and Humanities at Northeastern University. Williams, in an editorial for The Nation, wrote " the history of the right to bear arms is shaped by exclusionary privilege based on race and gender. It is almost exclusively white men who may “reasonably” carry firearms to protests outside Target or political conventions", although still 20% of Hispanic and African-American homes own guns according to Pew research.

<a href="https://history.columbia.edu/faculty/khalidi-rashid/">Dr. Rashid Khalidi</a>, a Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University, laced criticism of Trump's foreign policy with Anti-Semitism. Discussing Trump's position on Israel, Khalidi said "They have a vision whereby there is no such thing as the Palestinians. They have a vision whereby international law doesn’t exist. They have a vision whereby the United States can unilaterally cancel a decision of the United Nations. And unfortunately, these people infest the Trump transition team, these people are going to infest our government as of January 20th. And they are hand in glove with a similar group of people in the Israeli government and in Israeli political life who think that whatever they think can be imposed on reality."

<a href="https://mesaas.columbia.edu/faculty-directory/hamid-dabashi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamid Dabashi</a> is a Professor of Iranian Studies and Comparative Literature at Columbia University. According to Dabashi’s university profile, “he is also the author of over 100 essays, articles and book reviews on subjects ranging from Iranian and Islamic Studies, comparative literature, world cinema, and the philosophy of art (trans-aesthetics).”

On April 23, 2024, Dabashi wrote an article for <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/us-election-biden-trump-two-sides-murderous-coin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Middle East Eye</a> titled “US elections: Biden and Trump are two sides of the same murderous coin.” Towards the end of the article, Dabashi encouraged his readers to dismiss the American political system:
“We should all abandon any false hope in American democracy, and begin from the ruins of Gaza and the slaughtered corpses of Palestinians buried under those ruins and rebuild a new political imagination.”
“It is obscene to walk into any voting station and vote for anyone in this fundamentally flawed and irredeemable ‘American democracy.’ We cannot salvage this diabolical political system. We must save our own souls.”
On May 9, 2024, Dabashi wrote an article for the <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/gaza-war-us-europe-bear-blame-Israel-war-Palestinian-education" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Middle East Eye</a> titled “US and Europe bear direct blame for Israel’s war on Palestinian education.” In the article, Dabashi claimed that Israel’s existence entails the destruction of Palestine: 
“Israel cannot seem to fathom a future for itself as a settler colony without simultaneously exuding a diabolical urge to destroy the very existence of Palestine. It is even scared of images of <a href="https://time.com/6326312/watermelon-palestinian-symbol-solidarity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">watermelon slices</a>.”
He then addresses Israel’s current military actions towards Palestine and their consequences and then issues a demand for the world to hold Zionists “accountable” and to aid them: 
“The message they are sending to the world is this: sit there and watch as Israel slaughters an entire nation, killing people in their tens of thousands, their bodies and souls, their minds and their very collective existence, with astounding savagery - and don’t you dare utter a word in protest, or we will label you an antisemite.”
“The world must hold the genocidal Zionists in their garrison state, and their enablers in the US and Europe, accountable. Provisions must be made for all major universities in Europe, the US, Canada and Australia to build campuses in Gaza and lend their resources to these institutions, which must be run, staffed and administered by and for Palestinians.”  
According to Dabashi: 
“Scholars from around the globe must be allowed to go to Gaza and spend sabbatical leave there. Palestinian scholars and students must be invited to spend time in North American and western European universities. Meanwhile, the <a href="https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/academic-boycott-against-israeli-universities-grows-every-day/3154023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">academic boycott</a> of Israeli universities must continue until they open their doors to Palestinian students and scholars from the entirety of the Palestinian homeland.”
As a board member of the U.S. Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, Dabashi is ferociously <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Hamid_Dabashi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anti-Israel</a>, going so far as <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/18/education/mideast-tensions-are-getting-personal-on-campus-at-columbia.html">cancelling classes</a> so that his students can attend anti-Israel rallies.

When Iranian dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke at Columbia, Dabashi was one of his most vocal defenders against fellow professors. <a href="https://www.nysun.com/new-york/columbia-professor-calls-bollinger-white/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Writing</a> for an Egyptian newspaper, Dabashi accused Ahmadinejad’s critics of racism, claiming “the most ridiculous clichés of the neocon propaganda machinery, wrapped in the missionary position of a white racist supremacist carrying the heavy burden of civilizing the world.”

In 2018, Dabashi received criticism for a now-deleted <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=10484" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook post</a> in which he accused the Women’s March of being “deeply infiltrated” by “Zionists”, who want to hijack the organization to benefit Israel.
“The Woman’s (sic) March has now emerged as a major movement in the US and of course the Zionists have deeply infiltrated it the way they infiltrated the Civil rights Movement of the 1960s and sought to twist it to the advantage of Israel.”

<a href="https://directory.columbia.edu/people/uni?code=jbc2167">James Comey</a>–the former FBI director best known for directing the Russia investigation against President Trump– is now a lecturer at Columbia University <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/12/02/ex-fbi-director-james-comey-to-teach-at-columbia-law-school/">for the Spring 2021 semester</a>. Comey’s course is titled “Lawyers and Leaders.”  The <a href="https://reuben-mark.law.columbia.edu/content/reuben-mark-initiative-announces-spring-2021-leaders-residence">university’s website</a> writes that Comey’s experiences as a federal prosecutor and FBI director “represents a broadening of the Mark Initiative’s focus to include leadership of major public institutions, complementing existing offerings relating to corporations and law firms.”

In 2016 under Comey’s leadership, the FBI opened an investigation to determine whether the Trump campaign had colluded with the Russian government to defeat his opposing  Presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton. It is important to note that Special Counsel Robert Muller <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/no-collusion-attorney-general-william-barr-emily-zanotti">later determined that there was no evidence against President Trump.</a>

Much of the underlying information that formed the basis of the investigation was provided by a former-British spy, Christopher Steele– known as the “Steele Dossier.” <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/09/steeles-dossier-source-was-a-suspected-russian-spy/">Steele relied on a series of rumors from a sole source that was later determined to be a suspected Russian spy</a>. Members of Comey’s own <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/442944-fbis-steele-story-falls-apart-false-intel-and-media-contacts-were-flagged">FBI flagged the allegations in the dossier as false and were</a> ignored. This information was eventually used to obtain surveillance warrants for individuals involved with the Trump campaign. Despite being fired by the FBI for misconduct, <a href="https://thehill.com/hilltv/rising/400810-opinion-how-a-senior-justice-official-helped-dems-on-trump-russia-case">Steele was still used as a source–with Bruce Ohr serving as his conduit to ferry information to the Bureau</a>.

Once Trump assumed office, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/05/11/why-did-obama-tell-the-fbi-to-hide-its-activities-from-the-trump-administration/">Comey withheld evidence from the Trump Administration</a> about his investigation. The FBI had briefed President Trump’s campaign regarding Russian interference into the election, but failed to disclose that members of the campaign were the subject of the investigation itself.

Comey played a pivotal role in the perjury trap that resulted in the firing and prosecution of General Michael Flynn. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates testified that <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/08/05/sally-yates-comey-went-rogue-in-launching-perjury-trap-on-flynn/">Comey “went rogue” in his pursuit to prosecute Flynn</a>. Sources claim that the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-official-on-mueller-team-says-flynn-prosecution-was-used-to-get-trump-says-collusion-probe-was-not-there">FBI zealously pursued the investigation of Flynn in order to get him to flip and inform on any potential crimes committed by Trump.</a>

An Inspector General’s Report later <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/02/latest-inspector-general-report-slams-comeys-fbi-for-massive-failures-to-document-fisa-claims/">excoriated Comey for the abuses that were committed under his leadership</a>. When questioned in a congressional hearing, Comey claimed that he<a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/30/comey-its-not-my-job-to-make-sure-fisa-applications-are-accurate/"> bore no responsibility to ensure whether or not the information in the warrants were accurate</a> and could <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/01/supercut-james-comey-doesnt-recall-anything-about-anything/">remember little else about the investigation that he oversaw</a>.

Comey was also cited by the Department of Justice for <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-trump-russia-comey/doj-declines-to-prosecute-comey-despite-finding-that-he-leaked-info-idUSKCN1VJ1UO">improperly leaking sensitive information to the press</a>. When Columbia announced that he had taken a position at their Law School, it was revealed that he would teach alongside the professor to whom <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/comey-columbia-law-school-professor-leaked-trump">Comey leaked his private conversations with President Trump</a>.

However, Dr. Crenshaw then comments that identity politics does not go nearly far enough, countering that intersectionality is needed to successfully combat what she alleges is the systemic oppression minorities face in America.

Intersectionality is used by activists and academics to depict racial and sexual oppression as interconnected amongst various minority groups. For example in “Mapping the Margins,” Dr. Crenshaw claims that a black woman would suffer from both systemic racism and sexism in America. She further characterizes the theory as the link between <a href="https://newdiscourses.com/2021/03/forging-woke-one-ring-kimberle-crenshaws-mapping-margins/">contemporary politics and postmodernism</a>. Academic James Lindsay describes <a href="https://newdiscourses.com/2021/03/forging-woke-one-ring-kimberle-crenshaws-mapping-margins/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">intersectionality as the “birthplace of wokeness.”</a>

Much of intersectionality’s academic framework was used by Dr. Crenshaw to develop concepts of critical race theory. She drew additional inspiration from <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/nov/12/kimberle-crenshaw-the-woman-who-revolutionised-feminism-and-landed-at-the-heart-of-the-culture-wars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">critical legal studies, which, like critical race theory, posits that no American law can truly be neutral or impartial.</a>

Ben Shapiro defines critical race theory—also referred to as critical theory—in an article for Breitbart <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as an intellectual branch of Marxism that alleges American society and all of its founding institutions are infected with white supremacy</a>. Furthermore, proponents of critical race theory believe that people should take proactive steps to dismantle these institutions in the name of equity, which is also referred to as being “anti-racist.”

Dr. Crenshaw herself further defined the concept in an appearance on MSNBC in July of 2021, She characterized her theory as a method to understand how racial inequality is produced—or acts as a “conduit”—from laws, institutions, and historical oppression, all of which are referenced interchangeably with white supremacy.

One such institution that Dr. Crenshaw targets are police departments and policing as a whole. In a <a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/sandylocks/status/1306271685625049089?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweet from September 2020</a>, she demanded that all police departments be defunded, a move deemed necessary for the full dismantlement of “white nationalism.”

The call to <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DefundThePolice?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#DefundThePolice</a> should be a mandate to dismantle the hyper-militaristic, racist functions of the police as the coercive power of white nationalism.
Defunding the police needs to be a call for the de-weaponizing of white supremacy. <a href="https://t.co/rg0bdzImQn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/rg0bdzImQn</a>

&nbsp;

Crenshaw’s work and activism have been instrumental to school districts adopting critical race theory into their curriculums. One district in Illinois allegedly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawsuit-illinois-school-district-forced-students-on-privilege-walks-compared-whiteness-to-the-devil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">segregated students by race during a “privilege walk</a>” and compared “whiteness” to the devil during class lessons. Another school district in Buffalo, New York taught students that<a href="https://www.city-journal.org/buffalo-public-schools-critical-race-theory-curriculum" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> America is, “built on racism,” and all Americans, “have an implicit racial bias.</a>”

Dr. Crensaw’s work has spawned other prominent critical race theorists like Dr. Nikole Hannah-Jones, author of the 1619 Project. She has described <a href="https://news.columbia.edu/news/what-does-intersectionality-mean-2021-kimberle-crenshaws-podcast-must-listen-way-learn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Jones work as “phenomenal” to the rethinking of the American founding</a>.

Dr. Jones <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims</a> that America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England. <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/03/14/new-york-times-corrects-the-1619-project-but-its-still-a-giant-lie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Though now retracted for numerous false claims</a>, the documents have now been <a href="https://dc.medill.northwestern.edu/blog/2020/07/21/the-1619-project-curriculum-taught-in-over-4500-schools-frederick-county-public-schools-has-the-option/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added to the curriculum of 4,500 schools across the country</a>.

Dr. Kendall Thomas is a <a href="https://www.law.columbia.edu/faculty/kendall-thomas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nash Professor of Law</a> at Columbia University. His areas of study include Family, Gender, &amp; Sexuality and Social Justice &amp; Human Rights. Dr. Thomas is the co-founder and director of the Center for the Study of Law and Culture at Columbia University, and he is co-editor of <a href="https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/books/101/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Critical Race Theory: The Key Writings That Founded the Movement</a> with fellow Professor Watchlist professors Dr. <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/crenshaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kimberlé Crenshaw</a> and Dr. <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/garypellar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gary Pellar</a>. In his free time, he is a professional jazz vocalist.

When Dr. Thomas isn’t teaching in the law classroom or singing jazz music, he can be found vehemently supporting critical race theory. <a href="https://www.hawaiipublicradio.org/local-news/2021-06-01/critical-race-theory-for-k-12-graders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a radio clip for Hawaii Public Radio</a>, Dr. Thomas discussed his beliefs about critical race theory in the classroom. In his opinion, critical race theory should be taught to children, including K-12 classrooms. He claims that the American Revolution of 1776 isn’t comprehensive of our country’s history, and we need to be teaching about the slavery that occured in 1619 to really understand this country.

During <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/what-critical-race-theory-why-do-some-want-ban-1587389" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a conversation with a journalist at Newsweek</a>, Dr. Thomas discusses critical race theory and why some are against it. Dr. Thomas alleges that conservatives and others are “over-the-top attacking” critical race theory despite having no idea what CRT actually is. He asserts that conservatives want to shut down critical race theory so they won’t “lose the national debate… about institutional racism.”

He argues that if you care about the future of our democratic republic, you need to support the teachings and learning that CRT stands for. Dr. Thomas states that critical race theory is a body of writing and method of research about the meaning of race both today and historically.

Dr. Thomas often takes to Twitter to discuss critical race theory, politics, and his disdain for conservatives. <a href="https://twitter.com/Ill_Legitimacy/status/1326013415178039302" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In one tweet</a>, he accused conservatives of weaponizing the government in attempts to undo the 2020 presidential election results.

<a href="https://gca.columbia.edu/people/flores-forbes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Flores Forbes</a> is an Associate Vice President for Community Affairs at Columbia University. Mr. Flores is a convicted murderer who served as Huey Newton’s enforcer in the Black Panther Party.

The organization was<a href="https://www.history.com/topics/civil-rights-movement/black-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> formed by black nationalists, Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, in 1966 as the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense.</a> The group’s early activities included monitoring police and social programs for urban communities.

<a href="http://web.stanford.edu/~ccarson/articles/am_left.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The party was explicitly organized along</a> Marxist-Leninist lines. Members were <a href="https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/reflections-panthers-john-perazzo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">required to read communist texts such as Mao Zedong’s, Red Book and Che Guevara</a>. Bobby Seale was known to <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/whitewashing-the-black-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fondly quote Soviet Dictator, Joseph Stalin</a>.

Despite their alleged philanthropy, the Panthers used their community programs–dubbed survival programs—as a front for criminal activity. David Horowitz—who worked for the Panthers at the time—observed the Panthers' <a href="https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/pbs-propaganda-machine-black-panther-killers-frontpagemagcom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">embezzling and illegal trafficking operations based out of the Oakland Community Center.</a>

The Panthers were feared for their mob-like enforcement and brutality. Members were <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/whitewashing-the-black-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">known to pour boiling water over suspected </a>police informants and fire-bomb the cars of journalists. Co-founder, Huey Newton, was convicted—which was later overturned by an appellate court—and spent time in prison for the murder of police officer, John Frey. He is further <a href="https://www.salon.com/1999/12/13/betty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspected to have taken part in multiple murders</a> committed by the Panthers.

Known as Newton’s “internal enforcer”, Mr. Forbes carried out at least one execution on behalf of his boss. <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2020/12/radical-son-frontpagemagcom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Flores was ordered to perform a hit against Crystal Gray</a>, who had witnessed Newton murder a prostitute—Kathleen Smith—and was set to testify in his trial.

However, Mr. Forbes and the other assassins mistakenly arrived at the address of a fellow Panther, who returned fire and injured Mr. Forbes before he was killed. Following a nationwide manhunt, Mr. Forbes turned himself in, where he was convicted and spent 5 years in prison for second-degree murder.

Mr. Forbes is also suspected in the murder of Betty Van Patter. As a book-maker for the Panthers, Patter <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160110093526/http://www.insidebayarea.com/ci_5016589" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was a first-hand witness to the organization’s criminal activity and threatened to expose the Panthers to the press</a>. After missing for five weeks, her body was recovered in the San Francisco Bay.

Although Mr. Forbes is believed by Patter’s daughter and the <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2020/12/radical-son-frontpagemagcom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI to be responsible for her killing</a>, no arrests were made. Furthermore, the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180330211353/http://fbidocs.com/betty-van-patter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI destroyed all files relating to Patter in 2009</a>, so the apparent murder will remain unsolved. The Black Panther party dissolved in 1984 and Huey Newton was murdered in 1989. Mr. Forbes went on to author a book about his time in the Panthers—titled, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Will-You-Die-Me-Panther/dp/0743482689" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Will You Die with Me?</a>— and <a href="https://news.columbia.edu/news/cu-people-flores-forbes-urban-planner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has worked at Columbia since 2007</a>.

<a href="https://www.tc.columbia.edu/faculty/kf2119/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Karen Froud</a> is an Associate Professor of Neuroscience and Education at the Teachers College of Columbia University in New York City.

In a letter to colleagues, Dr. Froud urged them to boycott Israel and its universities, accusing both of contributing to apartheid-like conditions in the Palestinian territories.

Her remarks were spurred by the comments of another colleague, Gerry Leisman, who asked fellow scientists to continue their reviews for his research. Dr. Talisman is a neuroscientist at the University of Haifa in Israel.

“Hi, 

I am the guest editor of a special issue of the Journal Brain Sciences and we are producing a special issue of the journal entitled, “The Brain Goes to School, details for which can be found at the following link:

https://www.mdpi.com/.../brai.../special_issues/brain_school

We are recruiting both reviews and results of experimental studies that related to human learning, its difficulties, remediation strategies, models, cognitive science, cognitive neuropsychology all essentially attempting to translate 150 years of cognitive neuroscience into classroom Applications [sic].” 

&nbsp;

In her reply, Dr. Froud urges her colleagues to refuse the request <a href="https://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2022/03/columbia-bds-professor-little-unclear.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on the grounds that the University of Haifa is an “apartheid institution,” and adhere to the demands of the “Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement</a>.”

“Dear colleagues - 

I urge you to consider this request in light of the Boycotts, Divestments, and Sanctions Movement for freedom and justice in Palestine. Like many/most academic institutions in Israel, Haifa University is an apartheid institution. 

<a href="https://bdsmovement.net/tags/haifa-university" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://bdsmovement.net/tags/haifa-university</a>

I recognize that many of you work within this institution and hope you are also doing your part for academic freedom.

Warm wishes for a peaceful and just world - which after all is where educational neuroscience as a field points us.

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

<a href="https://www.tc.columbia.edu/faculty/bl2938/">Bettina L. Love</a> is a Professor of Education at Columbia University. A prominent critical race theorist, Dr. Love is responsible for the anti-racist curriculum that schools across the country use to teach students.

<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Critical race theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism</a>—also referred to as critical theory—that alleges <a href="https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white supremacy infects all political, legal, and cultural institutions</a> in America. Many prominent critical theorists, including professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even claim that the <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nation’s true founding year is 1619</a>—rather than 1776—when the first slave stepped foot in North America.

Dr. Love describes herself as an <a href="https://bettinalove.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abolitionist and anti-racist activist educator</a> who works to understand and critique “systemic and structural racism in education.”<a href="https://thefederalist.com/2021/08/12/meet-bettina-l-love-a-critical-race-theorist-coming-to-a-school-near-you/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> She further details her beliefs</a> in her book, “<a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/622408/we-want-to-do-more-than-survive-by-bettina-love/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">We Want to Do More Than Survive.</a>”

Dr. Love is the founder of the Abolitionist Teaching Network (ATN) whose goal is to provide educators with the resources for abolitionist teaching, which Dr. Love characterizes <a href="https://www.sesp.northwestern.edu/news-center/news/2021/01/abolitionist-teaching-a-conversation-with-bettina-l-love.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as “calling out” fellow teachers who are racist, homophobic, or Islamophobic.”</a>

ATN’s own documents encourage abolitionist teachers to promote the “liberation” of people of color and “embody the spirit” of the Black Lives Matter movement.

<img class="size-full wp-image-2028 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screen-Shot-2022-03-30-at-3.32.03-PM-1.png" alt="" width="570" height="716" />

&nbsp;

The page is found in ATN’s “<a href="https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/8d4b8aa7-b12e-4df8-9836-081a29841523/downloads/ATN%20Guide%20to%20Racial%20and%20Restorative%20Justice%20in.pdf?ver=1639147237108" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Guide to Racial and Restorative Justice.</a>” Dr. Love’s organization distributes the document to school districts across the country as a resource for teachers. The resource instructs educators to demand the following from their school districts:

- Hire more black, brown, and indigenous teachers,

- Hire abolitionist teachers,

- Free anti-racist therapy for white educators,

- Reduce class sizes for the benefit of black, brown, and indigenous children,

- Remove any and all police officers from schools,

- Reparations for minority children,

- Teaching standards that promote “Black, Brown, and Indigenous liberation.”

The document further accuses schools of the “spirit murder” of minority studies via disciplinary practices. Dr. Love uses this phrase in a separate article <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210106043843/https://www.edweek.org/leadership/opinion-how-schools-are-spirit-murdering-black-and-brown-students/2019/05" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to accuse white educators of levying racist punishments to humiliate and “destroy” their students of color.</a>

The article appeared in EducationWeekly where Dr. Love contributes articles that are full of racial invectives and diatribes. One claims that <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211011180846/https://www.edweek.org/leadership/opinion-grit-is-in-our-dna-why-teaching-grit-is-inherently-anti-black/2019/02" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teaching students to work hard is racist.</a> Her article—<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210722025254/https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/opinion-dear-white-teachers-you-cant-love-your-black-students-if-you-dont-know-them/2019/03" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dear White Teachers: You Can’t Love Your Black Students If You Don’t Know them</a>—accuses white teachers of being incapable of teaching black students.

Dr. Love's work is promoted and incorporated into school districts across the country. <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/critical-race-theory-activist-education-department-connections" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Department of Education under the Biden administration once listed ATN and Dr. Love’s work as resources</a>. She was invited to address the Virginia Department of Education’s Equity Summit where she called to dismantle capitalism and systemic racism in schools.

Dr. Love was also invited to the San Diego Unified School District, where she <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/radicals-in-the-classroom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly told attendees that white teachers are responsible for the suffering of “dark children.”</a>  Slides presented during her lecture stated, “Whiteness reproduces poverty, failing schools, high unemployment, school closings, and trauma for people of color.”

Hillary Rodham Clinton is Columbia University’s professor of practice in the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA). A <a href="https://www.sipa.columbia.edu/news/secretary-hillary-rodham-clinton-will-join-sipa-faculty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> from the dean of SIPA says Clinton is “now bringing her leadership and expertise to SIPA…to prepare the next generation of global policy leaders…”

On January 5, 2023, <a href="https://news.columbia.edu/news/hillary-rodham-clinton-join-columbia-community" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbia News announced</a> that Clinton “will help lead a major SIPA effort to convene outstanding policy thinkers from around the world to develop innovative policy solutions.” The publication also says she will help college executives “explore the fundamental questions on how to advance efforts to renew democracy and foster effective engagements with women and youth in [the United States] and around the world."

Columbia University <a href="https://www.sipa.columbia.edu/situationroom">announced</a> on March 22 that Clinton will be co-teaching a foreign policy course with Dean Keren Yarhi-Milo titled "Inside the Situation Room." The university stated that the goal of the course is: 
"[T]o give students a holistic understanding of the many facets of foreign policy decision-making. As future participants in the policy process, this course will provide vital background that they can draw on should they, too, find themselves facing high-pressure decisions with implications for national security and global stability. It will also enhance their ability to counsel intelligence officers, military leaders, advisors, or other government officials by improving their ability to anticipate other actors' actions, perceptions, and motivation."
Students at Columbia University must apply in order to take the course. 

Accompanying the course announcement is a skit featuring Clinton and Yarhi-Milo (see video below). In the skit, the co-teachers talk about basic details of the course after scenes are shown of students reacting to the news that Clinton “is running again,” (that is, running a new course). Clinton says that she will cover “what it was actually like in the [situation] room during the Bin-Laden Raid, the Iran Sanctions, the Gaza Cease Fire, [and] you name it.”

EARLY YEARS
Clinton—who graduated in 1969 from Wellesley College as Hillary Rodham—allegedly wrote her senior thesis on political activist and grassroots strategist Sal Alinski. In 1972, he <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Rules-Radicals-Practical-Primer-Realistic/dp/0679721134/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1FU7H88O8OXHA&amp;keywords=rules+for+radicals+by+saul+d.+alinsky&amp;qid=1673991341&amp;sprefix=rules+for+%2Caps%2C203&amp;sr=8-1&amp;asin=0679721134&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authored</a> “Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realist Radicals,” which centers on disrupting societies through revolutionary community organizing. Alinski infamously dedicated the volume of writing to the fallen angel and nemesis of God, Lucifer. Alinski is rumored to be Clinton’s “mentor” and a major influence on her flux from a stalwart Republican to a progressive Democrat by graduation. 

Although Clinton’s thesis is referenced in multiple media publications, the full composition is neither accessible through online archives nor searchable on her <a href="https://www.wellesley.edu/news/journalists/hillary-rodham-clinton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wellesley alumni profile</a>. According to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna17388372" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a>, the academic paper is “available to anyone who visits the archive room of the prestigious women’s college outside Boston.”

Throughout her time at Wellesley, Clinton served as the head of Wellesley’s Young Republicans Club from 1966-67; she also pursued a research assistant internship for the House Republican Conference during the summer of 1968 in D.C. A <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/04/11/395302391/5-things-you-should-know-about-hillary-clinton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Public Radio</a> (NPR) article says, “In high school [Clinton]...considered herself a Republican and even became a <a href="https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/minute/barry_goldwater_of_arizona.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Goldwater</a> Girl.” NPR included a quote from Clinton’s book “Living History”:

“‘My ninth-grade history teacher…encouraged me to read Senator Barry Goldwater’s book, The Conscience of a Conservative. That inspired me to write my term paper on the American conservative movement…I liked Senator Goldwater because he was a rugged individualist who swam against the political tide.’”

Clinton earned a Juris Doctorate from Yale Law School in 1973, joined the University of Arkansas Law School faculty in 1975, and was appointed by President Jimmy Carter as a member of the board of the Legal Services Corporation in 1978. Clinton’s law career includes the controversial case of a 12-year-old sexual abuse survivor Kathy Shelton. Clinton, who served as legal counsel for rapist Thomas Alfred Taylor, worked to shorten his prison sentence. 

According to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3729466/Child-rape-victim-comes-forward-time-40-years-call-Hillary-Clinton-liar-defended-rapist-smearing-blocking-evidence-callously-laughing-knew-guilty.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DailyMail</a>, “One of Clinton’s first moves was to raise questions about the credibility of the…victim. In a July 18, 1975 affidavit, Clinton asked the court to order Shelton to undergo a psychiatric examination from a doctor selected by Taylor’s legal team.” Clinton accused Shelton of wanting attention from older men and subjected her to intense psychological interrogations. Clinton negotiated a plea deal and Taylor spent one year in county jail.

SECRETARY OF STATE
From 2009-2013, Clinton served as Secretary of State in the Obama administration. During this time, she used private email servers instead of State Department accounts to send classified, sensitive information. According to a <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/news/press-releases/press-releases/statement-by-fbi-director-james-b-comey-on-the-investigation-of-secretary-hillary-clinton2019s-use-of-a-personal-e-mail-system" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> released by the FBI, “Secretary Clinton used several different servers and administrators of those servers during her four years at the State Department, and used numerous mobile devices to view and send e-mail on that personal domain.” 

The FBI goes further into detail on thousands of work-related emails that Clinton withheld, several of which included highly sensitive information on unclassified personal servers. The FBI also discovered Clinton was using her personal email in and out of the country.

In 2016, <a href="https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/clinton-foundation-donations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Investors Business Daily</a> reported that Clinton and her organization, the Clinton Foundation, were also undergoing an FBI investigation for violating “tax laws by converting donations into personal or political use.” An annual report (below) shows donations plummeting when Clinton was not running for a public office, and sharp increases when she ran for President of the United States. After Clinton lost the election, donations fell by 88%.

The Clintons, as well as advocates for the foundation, defended the organization’s reputation insisting that “the foundation was doing great work for mankind.” According to the <a href="https://observer.com/2016/08/the-six-clinton-foundation-scandals-everyone-needs-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Observer</a>, foreign countries such as “Australia, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, and a Canadian government agency…all donated to the Clinton Foundation.” <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/21/us/politics/hillary-clinton-presidential-campaign-charity.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a> also reported that Saudi Arabia, a country that heavily restricts the rights of women, donated more than $10 million to the foundation during Hillary’s <a href="https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2016 Presidential Campaign</a>.

RUSSIAGATE
Clinton spent her time in public office leveraging several foreign connections. During her time as First Lady, from 1993-2001, Clinton <a href="https://spectator.org/chinagate-and-the-clintons/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">solicited foreign donations to the Democratic National Committee</a> (DNC) from businessmen with connections to the Chinese Communist Party. The scandal would eventually be known as “Chinagate.” 

While serving as Secretary of State, Clinton approved the sale of <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2017/10/23/7-uranium-one-facts-every-american-should-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">20% of U.S. uranium reserves</a> to a Russian company. The financial backers of the venture funneled $145 million to the Clinton Foundation before the sale. Bill Clinton was paid $500,000 for a speech in Moscow the same month the deal was finalized.  

In October 2016, Clinton released a statement via advisor Jake Sullivan—who was later appointed as <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-jake-sullivan-national-security-adviser/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Security Advisor</a> to Joe Biden— accusing Donald Trump of coordinating with Vladimir Putin to hack the DNC’s servers and release sensitive information. She alleged this was accomplished through a backchannel to the Kremlin through Alfa Bank.

BENGHAZI
On September 11, 2012, four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, were <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/what-happened-during-after-benghazi-attack-2012" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killed during an attack</a> on an American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. The <a href="https://www.congress.gov/113/crpt/srpt134/CRPT-113srpt134.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate Select Committee’s Benghazi Report</a> shows Clinton ignored the “ample strategic warning that [the] security situation in eastern Libya was deteriorating and that U.S. facilities and personnel were at risk in Benghazi.” 

Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/286438-obstruction-lies-and-dishonor-hillarys-benghazi-legacy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">testified that he had identified</a> “three distinct capabilities” to deploy to Benghazi by 6 pm and had “issued the order to deploy the identified assets” by 7 pm. However, at 7:30 pm, a “Deputies Meeting” was convened in the White House. The meeting featured Clinton and deputies from State, the Pentagon, and the White House, while both the President and Secretary of Defense were absent. 

During this meeting, Clinton obstructed the direct order from the President, noting that her “State department emphasized any deployment of U.S. Forces into Libya needed approval from the Government of Libya.” 

The Americans in Benghazi were ultimately rescued by a group of former Gaddafi loyalists not affiliated with the Libyan government while American forces were in a “stand-by posture” awaiting the resolution of Secretary Clinton’s obstruction.  After the attacks, Secretary Clinton <a href="https://www.judicialwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Benghazi-Ops-Alert-FOIA-Page-10-11.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued an official statement</a>, claiming the assault may have been in “a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet.” 

However, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2015/03/03/new-documents-blow-lid-off-obamaclinton-benghazi-scandal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">emails uncovered through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request</a> by Judicial Watch show that Clinton’s top three staff members were forwarded an email on September 11, 2012, at 6:06 PM with the subject line “Update 2: Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack (SBU).” The email, from State Department Foreign Service Officer Lawrence Randolph, read: “(SBU) Embassy Tripoli reports the group claimed responsibility on Facebook and Twitter and call for an attack on Embassy Tripoli.” Despite knowing this, Clinton and other government officials stuck to the theory that the attacks were in response to a YouTube video.

Clinton will assume the position with Columbia University on February 1, 2023.

<a href="https://www.mabdou.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohamed Abdou</a> (according to his <a href="https://www.mei.columbia.edu/scholars-and-fellows/mohamed-abdou" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbia University profile</a>) is “a North African-Egyptian Muslim anarchist interdisciplinary activist-scholar of Indigenous, Black, critical race, and Islamic studies, as well as gender, sexuality, abolition, and decolonization with extensive fieldwork experience in the Middle East-North Africa, Asia, and Turtle Island.”

In 2020, Abdou wrote an article for <a href="https://roarmag.org/essays/let-empire-collapse-why-we-need-a-decolonial-revolution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ROAR</a> titled “Let Empire collapse: why we need a decolonial revolution.” He recommends that leftists support political alternatives to that of the current “liberal-progressive.” The thesis of the article reads:
“Repatriating Indigenous land and organizing anti-state Indigenous-Black-POC Power alternatives is better than pouring resources into the liberal-progressive vote.”
Abdou addressed his view of the origin of the U.S. and how that relates to the idea of “manifest destiny”:
“Need history remind us, the US was founded on the violent Euro-Christian crusading doctrine of Manifest Destiny and the Doctrine of Discovery. As Patrick Wolfe<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14623520601056240" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> notes</a>, 1492 is ‘not an event.’ Rather, it established a structure with a religious character known as ‘conquistador settler-colonialism’ as Tiffany Lethabo-King <a href="https://www.dukeupress.edu/the-black-shoals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">argues</a> and many other Indigenous scholar-activists like<a href="http://static1.squarespace.com/static/557744ffe4b013bae3b7af63/t/570d362c9f7266ca3ced2285/1460483648296/Before_Dispossession_Or_Surviving_It_by.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Eve Tuck</a> and<a href="https://www.academia.edu/43811591/Red_Pedagogy_Native_American_Social_and_Political_Thought_Sandy_Grande" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Sandy Grande</a> have noted.”
He then claims that white supremacy influences both the conservative and leftist political movements:
“While white supremacist ideologies and assumptions inform conservative right-wing parties and positions, the greater danger is how they disguise themselves within (neo)liberal progressive and even leftist positions. Some perceive Heineken and Johnnie Walker-sponsored pride parades and Women’s Marches as resistance, despite the fact that these movements are often premised on <a href="https://www.academia.edu/38647128/Ph_D_Thesis_Islam_and_Queer_Muslims_Identity_and_Sexuality_in_the_Contemporary_CH2?email_work_card=title" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bleached</a> notions of non-violence, gay marriage, coming-out narratives, pride and shame.”
Towards the conclusion of the article, Abdou mentions what “decolonization” means to him”:
“Decolonization means recognizing that struggles from ‘Jerusalem to the Grand River are one.’ That there is no freeing Palestine without freeing Indigenous and Black peoples in the heart of US Empire because all our fires are interconnected.”
“As an antidote, decolonization necessitates building non-statist, anti-authoritarian, land-based spiritual alternatives and being able to defend them tactically, with arms if need be. Decolonization means abolishing the punitive prison-judicial and imperialist-military industrial complexes and replacing them with transformative and not just restorative justice. Only the former addresses the underlying state structure of settler-colonialism that frames abolition and Indigenous sovereignty while the latter does not.”
During a U.S. Congressional hearing on campus anti-semitism, Columbia University President Nemat “Minouche” Shafik was <a href="https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/columbia-president-shafik-antisemitism-israel-hamas-congress/5330062/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a> about Abdou’s comments in response to the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Abdou had expressed support for Hamas at that time and has since faced repercussions for such support. According to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13349149/Im-Hamas-Hezbollah-professor-publicly-backed-Islamic-jihad-repeatedly-Oct-7-invasion-Israel-hired-teach-Columbia-House-speaker-Mike-Johnson-calls-President-Shafik-resign.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Mail</a>, Abdou wrote the following on Facebook on October 11, 2024:

“I'm with the muqawamah (the resistance) be it Hamas and Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad but up to a point - given ultimate differences over our ethical political commitments; that's the difference between a strategy and tactic too.”
In January, Abdou <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Mohamed_Abdou" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> “I might be with Hamas and support the resistance, absolutely.”

Shafik told the U.S. House Hearing Committee that Abdou has been terminated and that he “is grading his students’ papers and will never teach at Columbia again.” 

Abdou has been involved in a pro-Palestinain protest at Columbia University, where protesters have established an <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/ayfkm-columbia-president-told-congress-prof-terminated-now-appears-holding-class-inside-columbias-gates-among-pro-hamas-camp/25277" target="_blank" rel="noopener">encampment</a> that has caused inconvenience to university members (see tweet below).

According to his university profile, Brown’s “current research centers on the history of European experience on the African coast at the height of the Atlantic slave trade, and continues early commitments to the rise and fall of slavery in the British Empire.”

Brown was among <a href="https://bwog.com/2024/04/student-workers-and-faculty-hold-walkouts-to-demand-amnesty-for-students-and-faculty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">several professors</a> who spoke in favor of the ongoing pro-Palestine protests at the university, including a tent encampment on campus.

“Thursday, April 18, 2024, will be remembered as a shameful day in Coloumbia’s history,” Brown began his speech. 

The professor called Columbia University President Minouche Shafik’s decision to employ “riot police” at the university in light of the protests “unprecedented, unjustified, disproportionate, divisive, and dangerous.”
“The NYPD does not belong on this campus except for [inaudible]. That show of force was a sign of weakness.”
Toward the close of his speech, Brown addressed the importance of Columbia University and how that is being undermined by the university’s current leadership: 
“The United States has the greatest colleges and universities in the world and that’s why people come from around the world to study here, research here, and to teach here. That’s our inheritance, universities like this one and we would be fools not to defend it in every quarter from those who do not believe in the academic in the pursuit of academic excellence.”
He finished his speech with the following exclamation, calling for Shafik’s resignment:
 “She has forfeited the privilege to lead this great university.”

<a href="https://mesaas.columbia.edu/faculty-directory/joseph-massad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joseph Massad</a> is a professor of Modern Arab Politics and Intellectual History at Columbia University.

According to his university profile, Massad “has a particular interest in theories of identity and culture – including theories of nationalism, sexuality, race and religion.”

In response to October 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel, Massad wrote an article for <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/just-another-battle-or-palestinian-war-liberation/38661" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Electronic Intifada</a> titled “Just another battle or the Palestinian war of liberation?”

Massad opens his article with the following question:
“What can motorized paragliders do in the face of one of the most formidable militaries in the world?”
He answers that question in the subsequent paragraph:
“Apparently much in the hands of an innovative Palestinian resistance, which early on Saturday morning <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/hamas-fighters-gaza-storm-israel-capture-and-kill-soldiers/38631" target="_blank" rel="noopener">launched a surprise attack</a> on Israel by air, land and sea. Indeed as stunning videos show, these paragliders have become the air force of the Palestinian resistance.”
In a favorable tone toward Hamas, Massad addresses what he deems the “major achievement” of the “Palestinian resistance”:
“Perhaps the major achievement of the resistance in the temporary takeover of these settler-colonies is the death blow to any confidence that Israeli colonists had in their military and its ability to protect them.”
Regarding the “<a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/thousands-flee-rocket-and-gunfire-at-all-night-desert-nature-party-dozens-missing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thousands of Israelis</a> [who] were fleeing through the desert on foot to escape the rockets and gunfire” Massad exclaims,
“In the interest of safeguarding their lives and their children’s future, the colonists’ [Israelis’] flight from these settlements may prove to be a permanent exodus. They [Israelis] may have finally realized that living on land stolen from another people [Palestinians] will never make them safe.”
Massad said he found “awesome… the scenes witnessed by millions of jubilant Arabs who spent the day watching the news, of Palestinian fighters from Gaza breaking through Israel’s prison fence or gliding over it by air.”

The article was concluded with the following observation for the future of the war:
“But as the ongoing war between the Israeli colonial army and the indigenous Palestinian resistance has only just begun, the days to come will surely be crucial in determining if this is the start of the Palestinian War of Liberation or yet another battle in the interminable struggle between the colonizer and the colonized.”

<a href="https://www.law.columbia.edu/faculty/katherine-m-franke" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Katherine M. Franke</a> is the James L. Dohr Professor of Law at Columbia University (CU). Her specialty areas are “Gender and Sexuality Law” and “Racial Justice.” Her areas of study include, “Family, Gender, and Sexuality,” “Social Justice and Human Rights,” and “Legal History.”

According to Franke’s profile, she is the Director of the <a href="https://gender-sexuality.law.columbia.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Gender &amp; Sexuality Law</a>. “She is also on the Executive Committees of Columbia’s Institute for the Study of Sexuality and Gender, and the <a href="https://palestine.mei.columbia.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Palestine Studies</a>. She is among the nation’s leading scholars writing on law, sexuality, race, and religion drawing from feminist, queer, and critical race theory.”

The Center of Sexuality and Gender’s mission is “to formulate new approaches to complex issues facing gender and sexual justice movements.” The Center’s main page states:
“In Spring 2022, as part of Professor Katherine Franke’s Gender Justice class exam final, she invited students to offer newly-seated Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson advice on how ‘to sow the seeds for a new approach to reproductive rights.’”
During Justice Brown’s interview, she <a href="https://youtu.be/BWtGzJxiONU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">infamously said</a> she could not define what a woman is.

On social media, Franke has spoken disapprovingly of CU President Minouche Shafik while commending the student protests that erupted across CU’s campus.

New York Times wrote, “[Franke] … was also mentioned in the hearing for her activist role and a comment that ‘all Israeli students who served in the I.D.F. [Israeli Defense Forces] are dangerous and shouldn’t be on campus.’”

“I actually said, ‘[M]any Israeli students who come to Columbia’s campus are coming right out of their military service and have been known to harass Palestinian and other students on our campus.”
Franke has also encouraged the general public to sign an open letter “making the point that identifying with the suffering of Gazans and historically contextualizing the current war in Israel/Gaza is not anti-Semitic.”

The open letter states, in part:
“As scholars who are committed to robust inquiry about the most challenging matters of our time, we feel compelled to respond to those who label our students anti-Semitic if they express empathy for the lives and dignity of Palestinians, and/or if they signed on to a <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeHe5p0in9g4h9xURoTx6NPn-v2rb-m7k6ZIm4YNGqOPRVsFQ/viewform">student-written statement</a> that situated the military action begun on October 7 within the larger context of the occupation of Palestine by Israel… 
“In our view, the student statement aims to recontextualize the events of October 7, 2023, pointing out that military operations and state violence did not begin that day, but rather it represented a military response by a people who had endured crushing and unrelenting state violence from an occupying power over many years.”
The letter goes on to state, “One could regard the events of October 7th as just one salvo in an ongoing war between an occupying state and the people it occupies or as an occupied people exercising a right to resist violent and illegal occupation.”

“Since the encampment went up over a week ago, Howley has emerged as one of its most prominent champions, giving interviews from inside its perimeter and dismissing the idea that the unsanctioned protest — which has included calls to murder Jewish students and threats that ‘Columbia will burn’ — poses a safety risk.”
At one point, Howley used a bullhorn to address a crowd on the street outside the campus.

“When Minouche Shafik … testified before the House of Representatives on 17 April, she didn’t fall into the traps set a few months earlier for the presidents of Penn, MIT, and Harvard, two of whom are now gone … She presented herself as a relentless scourge of antisemitism. Her head will not fall – at least not as a result of congressional displeasure.

“What we saw yesterday was the people of Gaza breaking out of their open-air prison. It’s impossible to view the events of this week, without first understanding the context that the Israeli regime is founded on violence… it’s founded on the erasure and annihilation of Palestinians.”
At this time Atalla also stated, “We want to show the world that when Palestine rises up in resistance, the diaspora rises with it.”

On April 22, Atalla, along with several other faculty members, wrote and signed a <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/opinion/2024/04/22/untenured-faculty-stand-in-solidarity-with-our-students/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> in support of the protesters and against their treatment by the Columbia University administration during the pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campus. 

Addressing Columbia University students directly, the letter states: 
“Our message is simple: We stand with you in solidarity, we are appalled by what has been happening on our campus, and we want to help you reclaim your University.”
Concerning the protesters’ treatment by the New York Police Department and university administrators, the writers state the following in their defense: 
“Some of you have been arbitrarily suspended by your school, <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/18/shafik-authorizes-nypd-to-sweep-gaza-solidarity-encampment-officers-in-riot-gear-arrest-over-100/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested and physically removed</a> from campus by the New York Police Department, told to leave your dorms, and surveilled and threatened by University administrators. Many more of you have learned about these disturbing actions, directly or by rumor, and wonder whether you will be targeted, too, for engaging in activism that the University supposedly prides itself on fostering, for protesting on the basis of your sincere moral and political views, or simply for holding those views.”
The writers claim that both students and faculty have “real authority” over campus events: 
“In the weeks and months ahead, we look forward to working alongside you to restore norms of shared governance at the University and to ensure that students and faculty alike have real authority over what happens on our campus, rather than simply being informed of decisions taken by small groups of administrators. We want to help you to take back the University.”
The letter concludes with the following statement in support of the protesting students: 
“Most of all, we want you to feel at home here. We deeply regret that so many of you do not feel that way any longer—or that you never did. We are committed to working to change the University so that you do.”

<a href="https://music.columbia.edu/bios/russell-orourke">Russell J. O’Rourke</a> is a Core Lecturer in Music Humanities at Columbia University. 

O’Rourke sent an email to his students after the New York Police Department was called to clear out the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” stating he was “appalled by the decisions of the administration” concerning the student protests. He also said he would accommodate students regarding the course and provide assistance to those students who have been evicted due to their actions while protesting (see image below).

She was also among over 200 Columbia faculty who staged a walkout on April 22, 2024, to protest police presence on campus. Bernofsky reportedly said:
“To stand there and watch policemen grabbing students and picking them up and dragging them out of campus was traumatic. We did not consent to police being brought onto campus to arrest students, and the administration did it anyway. Faculty members at Columbia have a wide range of political opinions about a lot of things, but we’re pretty united that we do not want our students mass arrested.”
During the walkout, Bernofsky posed with a sign that said, “Unsuspend My Students.”

<a href="https://undergrad.admissions.columbia.edu/life/community/students-faculty/faculty/james-schamus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Schamus</a> is a Professor of Professional Practice Film and Media Studies at Columbia University. Schamus is a also a notable producer, screenwriter, and CEO of Focus Features. 

In light of the White House’s withdrawal of $400 million dollars of funding from Columbia University, Schamus wrote an article for <a href="https://lithub.com/a-columbia-professors-message-to-his-fellow-jewish-faculty-members/">Literary Hub</a> in which he addressed his fellow Jewish faculty. 

Schamus claimed President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are striking a “white nationalist hammer” on Columbia University: 

“So the white nationalist hammer is coming down on Columbia University, which is being made an example of, in order to scare all institutions of higher education into falling in line with the Musk/Trump plan to destroy any and all potential civil society nodes of resistance to the authoritarian regime they are putting in place.”

He claims that Columbia University is being targeted by the White House under the guise of being an antisemitic institution: 

“Don’t be fooled: the excuse they are using to destroy the institution—that Columbia is incorrigibly antisemitic—is, of course, the exact opposite of what is happening. They are coming after Columbia precisely because the University is, to the (not-) “populist” base in front of whom they perform their Hitler salutes and at whom they hose their antisemitic memes, an emblem precisely of Jewishness: it’s ‘globalist,’ ‘cosmopolitan,’ New York-based, ‘liberal,’ etc.”

He concluded his address by directing his attention Columbia’s Chair of the Department of Biological Sciences, <a href="https://stockwelllab.fas.columbia.edu/people/brent-r-stockwell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brent Stockwell</a>, who is also Jewish. Stockwell had claimed, according to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/nyregion/trump-columbia-antisemitism.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a>, that divesting money from the university will affect Jewish university members. Regarding Stockwell’s comments, Schamus stated: 

“They’re coming for the ‘good’ Jews too; indeed, they have already come—they’ve come today, for you. So we’re all in this together now. And by ‘we’ I mean not only us Jews, but every right-thinking defender of the values this university is supposed to stand for. And we should, and can, regardless of our differences of opinion over Israel, join now in common cause to fight the evil engulfing our students and colleagues.”

Julio Cesar Pino

Dr. Julio Cesar Pino was a tenured Associate Professor of History at Kent State University with a history of anti-Semitic actions.
In 2007, the university launched an investigation into Pino after he posted on a Jihadist blog. According to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/fbi-investigating-kent-state-professor-alleged-isis-involvement-/7189">Campus Reform</a>, the investigation “allegedly concluded in 2009 after Pino was visited at his home by U.S. Secret Service agents.”
In 2011, Pino interrupted a student event on campus featuring Arab-Israeli diplomat Ishmael Khaldi with shouts of “death to Israel!” Campus Reform reported, “Pino stood up in the middle of Khaldi’s presentation and said ‘your government killed people.’ He proceeded to call Khaldi a liar before he stormed out of the room.”
In 2014, Pino wrote an <a href="https://www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/kent-state-history-professor-says-academic-friends">open letter</a> to his “academic friends of Israel,” in which he wrote:
“I hold you directly responsible for the murder of over 1,400 Palestinian children, women and elderly civilians over the past month. This is not symbolic or even legally justified homicide on your part but actual, cold-blooded, calculated killing, for which you are culpable.” 
He also claimed that any academics who support Israel “have chosen to openly work for and brag about academic collaboration with a regime that is the spiritual heir to Nazism.” He ended his open letter with a call for “Jihad until victory.”
In 2016, Pino <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2016/01/19/shocker-death-to-israel-prof-investigated-as-possible-isis-recruiter/">came under investigation</a> by the FBI due to suspicions that he had ties to ISIS. In 2018, <a href="https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/crime/former-kent-state-professor-julio-pino-gets-5-months-in-prison-for-lying-to-fbi/95-598307079">WKYC</a> wrote:
“While authorities did not find any formal ties to terrorist activities, they did charge him with lying to the FBI after he falsely claimed he did not know a Missouri individual known as ‘J.E.’ who had threatened to ‘kill 100s of people’ if a court took away custody of his own son.” 
During the investigation, it came to light that Pino and J.E. were Facebook friends, and Pino had encouraged J.E. to “devour them” in a message between the two. J.E. later sent threatening messages to a St. Louis Family Court Judge. Pino was sentenced to five months in federal prison, five months of house arrest, three years probation, and a $2,500 fine.
Despite all of his previous allegations, WKYC reported:
“However, it wasn’t until he was charged that the university suspended him and banned him from campus. Following the guilty plea, it was announced Pino would be fired ‘in accordance with personnel policies.’”

<a href="https://www.kent.edu/multidisciplinary-studies/lgbtq-studies-0/meet-director" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lauren Vachon</a> is an Assistant Professor of LGBTQ Studies and the Coordinator for the LGBTQ Studies Minor Program at Kent State University. According to her <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauren-vachon-8284b45b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LinkedIn</a>, Vachon is a “queer activist and educator” who says her research interests include “LGBTQ history, queer pedagogy, creative writing as pedagogy, using oral histories in the classroom, and collecting queer oral histories.”

On March 20, 2023, the Kent State College Republicans <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-says-its-not-about-free-speech-after-what-is-a-woman-is-painted-on-campus-rock/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">painted</a> “What Is a Woman?” on a free speech-style rock on campus to promote their showing of Matt Walsh’s documentary.

<img class="size-full wp-image-2952 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Screen-Shot-2023-04-27-at-9.17.01-AM.png" alt="" width="621" height="403" />

According to <a href="https://kentwired.com/96504/latest-updates/its-not-about-free-speech-members-of-the-lgbtq-community-speak-out-against-anti-trans-message-fusion-collab/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kent Wired</a>, Professor Vachon was very upset about the rock’s painting and said:
“A value that this community has and shares is a value of freedom of thought, speech and expression and that’s super important to protect. So I think it’s not to say [...] you can tell a group that they can’t bring the documentary, although it has been banned from platforms for being considered hate speech. We know that the intent was antagonism. I do think there should be consequences for that. It’s not about free speech.” 
Vachon claims, “The intent in bringing the documentary and the intent in even promoting it was antagonism against the LGBT community. Further, she believes the response from students is justified, saying:
“The natural consequences of this kind of antagonism toward the LGBT community is what’s happening, which is student outrage and planned protests and change.org petitions and pressure on the administration to address it, and [...] protect[ing] LGBTQ communities who feel unsafe in this kind of political environment.” 
Kent Wired writes that Vachon “thinks the overall treatment of trans people has improved, but incidents like the rock painting and documentary advertisement create a ‘hostile environment.’”
“This is happening in a moment that is already really scary and fraught for trans people and already a very politically charged moment. That is a scary big picture that is harming trans people right now.” 
Vachon was quoted in another <a href="https://kentwired.com/813/latest-updates/gender-inclusion-efforts-continue-across-campus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kent Wired</a> article titled, “Gender inclusion efforts continue across campus.” Vachon said she encourages faculty members to use their pronouns in their email signatures and discussed her “inclusive syllabus.”
“When an opportunity came up among faculty to share materials on building an inclusive classroom, I was inspired by other universities and practices they had put in place. The inclusive syllabus designates space for a pronoun usage policy which assures students that they’re safe in my classroom, and that I’ll use pronouns they ask me to use.”

John S. Huntington is a <a href="https://learning.hccs.edu/faculty/john.huntington" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of History</a> at Houston Community College. He teaches several courses ranging from American History to Western Civilization, and he <a href="https://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/16253.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recently wrote a book titled</a>, “Far-Right Vanguard The Radical Roots of Modern Conservatism.” He has also written publications for The Washington Post.

In a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/01/25/how-conservatives-learned-love-big-government/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">perspective piece</a> for The Washington Post, Huntington claims conservatives are “ideologically inconsistent” and flip-flop between hating big government when Democrats are in office while loving big government when Republicans are in the White House.

In <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/10/13/manipulating-elections-is-conservative-tradition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another perspective piece</a> for The Washington Post, Huntington accuses conservatives of manipulating elections, claiming it’s “conservative tradition.” He claims that engineering elections is part of conservatives’ political heritage, and the idea that Democrats stole the 2020 election is a “central pillar” of conservative politics. He argues that conservatives “game the rules to gain power despite being in the minority.” Huntington believes that the 2020 election wasn’t the first time conservatives disagreed with an election outcome or tried to steal an election.

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/jaime-blair.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jaime Blair</a> is a Professor of Biology and the Program Chair of Women&#8217;s, Gender &amp; Sexuality Studies at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. 
Blair was one of 125 Franklin and 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.”

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.”\

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.”

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.”

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://education.sdsu.edu/directory/lashae-collins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor LaShae Collins, M.A</a>., is a professor in the Department of Africana Studies at San Diego State University. 
<a href="https://newsone.com/4425479/san-diego-state-fake-slave-persona/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Newsone reports</a> that in October of 2022, Collins has “come under fire” for having her students complete an assignment that requires them to “create a slave persona.” An anonymous student claims that Collins wanted them to write diary entries using “broken English” in order to make their persona “historically accurate.” The same student also said that Collins wanted her students to “wear tattered clothing to illustrate the slave experience.” 
However, the Africana Studies Department Chair, <a href="https://thedailyaztec.com/111463/news/sdsu-africana-studies-story/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adisa Alkebulan, told The Daily Aztec</a> that “there was never a requirement (for students) to dress as slaves or speak in ‘broken English’ as has been falsely reported in some news outlets.” The assignment description, which was posted on Instagram by student Amari Jackson, seems to corroborate the Department Chair’s statement, as broken English and tattered clothing are mentioned nowhere on it (see image below):

Yet, SDSU student Robbie Jackson stated Collins told her students that dressing as a slave was optional for the assignment. Another student said that Collins told her class that past students of the course came to class dressed as slaves for the assignment, which seemed to the student imply that they could get a better grade if they did so. Another anonymous student sent The Daily Aztec a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CjllD9ZvH1s/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PDF file</a> containing actual slave narratives which was provided to the students as a resource for the assignment. The narratives are full of broken English, which made the student think that Collins was recommending her students to use such language in the assignment. 
According to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CjjI-SlvcpN/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=455c6dba-0246-45e2-8fd6-0ab7e0fd3518" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amari Jackson</a>, Collins canceled “in-class presentations where she wanted us to act and dress in our personas.”

Diddy and &#8220;Baby Oil&#8221; Costumes Worn by San Diego State Students
Two students at San Diego State University have come under fire for their choice of Halloween costumes. 
One of the students, a white male, dressed up as defamed music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. His costume featured a black sport jacket, white pants, and a pink collared shirt with a red bowtie. His countenance was also covered in blackface. His partner’s costume was a simple pink outfit with a Johnson’s baby oil logo attached to her shirt. She also held a bottle of baby oil to add to the effect of her costume.
Since Combs’ arrest in September, baby oil has been associated with his name after it was discovered to be a prominent feature at his secret “freak-off” parties. Federal agents also <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1408795/diddy-allegedly-laced-baby-oil-with-date-rape-drug" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discovered</a> 1,000 baby oil bottles — allegedly laced with Rohypnol (GHB), a date rape drug — in Combs’ Miami residence after it was raided earlier in the year. 
The costumes first came to attention through a video posted on social media titled 
“How the group chat dressed for Halloween.” The video was deleted after the woman who posted the video, a fellow student, deactivated her social media accounts. (See image below, taken from <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14010741/influencer-slammed-diddy-blackface-baby-oil-halloween-costume.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a>).
At the time of this publication, the names of the students in costume are unknown to the public.

A spokesperson for SDSU, concerned with the students’ costumes, told the Daily Mail:
“Our team is working to confirm information, to include the location and the names and affiliations of the individuals involved.
“We appreciate the willingness of people who have come forward to share information with the university. 
“The use of blackface and any actions making light of sexual assault are deeply offensive and have no place in a respectful, caring community.&#8217;”

According to <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/arabic-professor-distributes-map-without-israel-then-pencils-103206302.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Caller</a>, in 2013, during an Arabic 101 class, Zakaria “distributed a map that omitted Israel and labeled the land mass where Israel is located as ‘Palestinian Territories.’”

After being criticized for the anti-semitic map, Zakaria, according to The Daily Caller, “redistributed the exact same map after sloppily writing ‘Israel’ and generally indicating where the country is.”

In light of criticism from pro-Israel students, “Zakaria has expressed regret to the class,” The Daily Caller reports. However, “he has not issued any apology to anyone outside the class.”

<a href="http://thedailyaztec.com/40678/news/middle-east-map-stirs-controversy-on-campus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Aztec</a> also reported that, according to Zakaria, the map “was never meant to be seen as political or geographical; instead it was meant to display Arabic-speaking countries—about 15 percent of Israel’s population speaks Arabic.”

In response to students who were critical of the map, an SDSU spokesman stated the following:
“While SDSU encourages scholarly debate and discussion of varying opinions, presenting inaccurate information to students in not acceptable. This inaccurate portrayal will not reoccur.”

Dr. <a href="https://politicalscience.sdsu.edu/people/faculty/graubart_j.html">Jonathan Graubart</a> is a Professor of Political Science at San Diego State University (SDSU) and Director of the International Security and Conflict Resolution Program. According to his university biography, Dr. Graubart specializes in international relations, international law, Israel-Palestine, the UN, normative theory, and “resistance politics.”

In a July 2017 article, The College Fix reported that Dr. Graubart <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-annoyed-groundswell-good-wishes-john-mccain-calls-war-criminal/">condemned Senator McCain as a “war criminal</a>” and someone who “has championed horrifying actions” in a now-deleted Facebook post on his personal account. <a href="https://www.johnmccain.com/">John McCain</a> was a United States Senator from Arizona who <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/john-mccain-dead-at-81">served as a Navy pilot and was a prisoner of war</a> during the Vietnam War. He died in August of 2018 after a battle with brain cancer.

In the now-deleted Facebook post, Dr. Graubart stated that <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-annoyed-groundswell-good-wishes-john-mccain-calls-war-criminal/">he found himself “annoyed at the groundswell of good wishes for John McCain after his diagnosis of glioblastoma” (brain cancer).</a>.” His comment was posted <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/lawmakers-send-wishes-john-mccain-brain-tumor-announcement/story?id=48736469">just after John McCain announced his cancer diagnosis</a>.

ABC 10 News San Diego reported in July 2018 that an unnamed SDSU spokesman released a statement <a href="https://www.10news.com/news/san-diego-state-professor-makes-controversial-facebook-post">referring to Dr. Graubart’s post about McCain as “private speech”</a> that cannot be regulated. The spokesman also states that it does not “endorse” his views, nor does it have a social media policy for faculty members.

“SDSU does not have a social media policy for faculty and staff. As a public institution, we do not and cannot regulate the private speech of students, faculty or staff. However, that should not imply the university's endorsement of any particular viewpoint”

In a statement to Fox News later in 2017, Dr. Graubart stated that he posted the remarks on his private Facebook account, and therefore <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/professor-calls-mccain-a-war-criminal-annoyed-at-well-wishes-after-senators-brain-cancer-diagnosis">were written in an “off-the-cuff manner”</a> and not with a “large public in mind.”

According to his university profile, &#8220;Foster teaches and publishes in the areas of modernist and contemporary art, architecture, and theory.&#8221;
In April 2024, Foster 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:

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.”

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.”

<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.”

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…”

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.

Dr. Singer has also justified infanticide for babies who are disabled or have serious health conditions. In the 1979 edition of Practical Ethics, he wrote: “<a href="https://archive.org/details/practicalethics0000sing/page/n3/mode/2up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Killing a defective infant is not morally equivalent to killing a person. Sometimes it is not wrong at all</a>.”

Many have accused <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/human-exceptionalism/peter-singer-eugenicist-wesley-j-smith/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Singer of being sympathetic to eugenics</a> due to his apparent empathy towards parents who <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/human-exceptionalism/peter-singer-eugenicist-wesley-j-smith/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">select particular genes in human fetuses for more desirable children</a>.

During a 2015 radio interview, Dr. Singer argued that it was “reasonable” <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/ethics-professor-kill-severely-disabled-infants-under-obamacare/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to euthanize disabled infants to prevent higher premiums under Obamacare</a>. In a Q&amp;A hosted on his personal website, Dr. Singer <a href="https://petersinger.info/faq/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims that newborns are not persons as they have “no sense of the future</a>.”

“[Killing] a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person, that is, a being who wants to go on living.”

Dr. Singer added that although killing an infant is a “terrible thing to do,” parents should have the freedom to end the life of their newborn. He added that the presiding doctor would then take steps to “swiftly and humanely” end the child’s life.

According to his biography, Dr. Singer <a href="https://uchv.princeton.edu/people/peter-singer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has been teaching at Princeton since 1999</a>. He authored other books on utilitarianism, veganism, and animal liberation.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.”

Princeton English Professor <a href="https://english.princeton.edu/people/gayle-salamon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gayle Salamon</a> was featured in a 2019 <a href="https://www.browndailyherald.com/article/2019/12/princeton-professor-shares-research-on-gender-identity-u-s-judiciary-system" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Princeton professor shares research on gender identity, U.S. judiciary system.” The report states that Salamon <a href="https://gss.princeton.edu/research/faculty-bookshelf/life-and-death-latisha-king-critical-phenomenology-transphobia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">followed the case</a> of Larry “Latisha” King, a male who “transitioned” to female and was later killed by a classmate. Salamon was quoted stating that she aimed to “carefully study the misrecognition at the heart of the case and how gender identity was misread as sexual identity.”

Salamon is one of 19 professors to form Princeton’s first Faculty for Justice in Palestine group. Salamon joined a list of signatories featured in an open letter published by <a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2023/11/princeton-opinion-opguest-faculty-for-justice-in-palestine-demand-free-speech-protection-divestment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Princetonian</a>. On November 29, 2023, the Princetonian posted the faculty statement, which included the following quote:
“In solidarity with the <a href="https://usacbi.org/faculty-for-justice-in-palestine/">[US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel]</a> call for faculty action in defense of students who are currently under attack from university administrators, other students, and outside actors for their Palestine solidarity work…we hereby declare the founding of the Princeton Faculty for Justice in Palestine (FJP).”
“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.”
Salamon 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…”

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.

Christopher Nunez is a formerly undocumented, visually impaired choreographer, educator, and accessibility consultant who was named Princeton University Arts Fellow for 2022-2024. Nunez’s university <a href="https://arts.princeton.edu/news/2022/03/princeton-arts-fellows-for-2022-2024-announced/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fellowship announcement says</a>, “His performances have been presented at The Brooklyn Museum for The Immigrant Artist Biennale…” and “his work has been featured in publications such as The New York Times…” 

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.’”

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

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

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

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

The publisher also wrote, “Supplementing its right to kill with what Puar calls the right to maim, the Israeli state relies on liberal frameworks of disability to obscure and enable the mass debilitation of Palestinian bodies.”

<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.”

Glaude also tweeted his thoughts after SCOTUS overturned affirmative action in June 2023.

<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 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.”

According to his university profile, "Foster teaches and publishes in the areas of modernist and contemporary art, architecture, and theory."

In April 2024, Foster 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>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We call upon the Columbia University administration to remove the New York City Police Department from campus. 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.”

<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://humdev.uchicago.edu/directory/Eman-Abdelhadi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eman Abdelhadi</a> is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Comparative Human Development at the University of Chicago. Her research interests include religion, gender, identity, and demography.
After Hamas terrorists attacked Israel in October 2023, Abdelhadi <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=24238" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed a statement</a> titled, “Writers in Solidarity with Palestine.” The letter begins, “We are writers who unequivocally stand with Palestine and its fight for liberation against the illegal occupation of ‘Israel’ and the violent settler colonial apartheid state.”
Some of the letter’s claims include: 
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“The west is actively backing the ongoing settler colonial project that endorses either a slow or fast genocide, but is genocide either way.”</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Any form of Palestinian resistance is in no way equivalent to the daily violence of ‘Israeli’ settlers, the IOF (‘Israeli’ Occupying Forces), and the entire ‘Israeli’ state apparatus. Palestinian resistance exists because settler colonial occupation exists.” </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“The resistance is an ongoing response to a long history of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.” </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Politicians at all levels of government internationally, primarily those in the west, are deliberately weaponizing islamophobic and orientalist language in order to manufacture consent for genocide in Palestine, heighten surveillance and policing domestically, and suppress any manner of showing solidarity with Palestine.” </li>
</ul>
The writers end with several “calls to action” for the signatories and their institutions, including: 
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“To stand in firm, vocal, and unwavering solidarity with Palestinian resistance against their occupation until liberation, by amplifying Palestinian voices in a time of mass disinformation and silencing; and by openly discussing the occupation in your workplace, home, on social media, in your work.” </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“To boycott all other literary institutions who profess Zionist affiliations.” </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“To engage with the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, a Palestinian-led movement to end international support for ‘Israel’s’ oppression of Palestinians and all institutions complicit in ‘Israeli’ apartheid and settler colonialism.” </li>
</ul>
