<a href="https://www.uh.edu/class/ccs/people/nicholas-de-genova/">Dr. Nicholas De Genova</a> is a professor and the Chair of the Department of Comparative Cultural Studies at the University of Houston. His university biography describes him as a scholar of migration, borders, citizenship, labor, critical race, postcolonial, and ethnic studies. Dr. De Genova is an ardent advocate for abolishing national borders and has called for the death of American soldiers.

In an interview for the <a href="https://lnu.se/en/research/searchresearch/linnaeus-university-centre-for-concurrences-in-colonial-and-postcolonial-studies/">Centre for Concurrences in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies</a>, Dr. De Genova <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkF0I1Z9eGo">describes his work in postcolonial studies</a> as taking the free movement of people across borders as a “natural element of the human condition." At one point in the interview, Dr. De Genova implies that national borders should be abolished.

&nbsp;

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Nicholas-De-Genova-If-there-were-no-borders......mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Continuing, Dr. De Genova states that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkF0I1Z9eGo">national borders are the most violent divisions that humanity has constructed</a>.

&nbsp;

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/De-Genova-Borders-are-the-most-violent.....mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Throughout his work, Dr. De Genova claims that borders are used to elicit racial strife. In a piece written for the Journal of the American Anthropological Association, Dr. De Genova alleges there are <a href="http://www.americananthropologist.org/2020/03/23/everything-is-permitted-trump-white-supremacy-fascism/">parallels between Trump’s policies on the US-Mexico border and a “brutal and bellicose racial nativism” of conservative support for restrictive immigration policies. </a>

In the same paper, Dr. De Genova describes conservatives as fascists who are fomenting a racial civil war against people of color and illegal immigrants through the enforcement of immigration laws. He states:

“We must interrogate the synergies between, on the one hand, the variety of ways that Trump’s supporters are induced to endorse or emulate this brutal and bellicose racial nativism and, on the other hand, the outright cruelty and sadism, of the Trump administration’s border-enforcement tactics and the racist violence that they have institutionalized.” 

Dr. De Genova describes the United States as a nation that embodies white nationalism. Quoting author Wahneema Lubiano, Dr. De Genova states that <a href="http://www.americananthropologist.org/2020/03/23/everything-is-permitted-trump-white-supremacy-fascism/">American history has always “been some form” of white nationalism</a>.

&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/2003/03/31/letters-editorprofessor-qualifies-quotation-article-and-addresses-criticism/">In an open letter published by The Columbia Spectator,</a> Dr. De Genova described the United States as an emblem of white nationalism. Alleging the formation of the United States constituted racism and imperialism, Dr. De Genova called on Americans to “repudiate all forms of patriotism.”

The letter is a response to the public outcry to his teach-in at Columbia University, where Dr. De Genova called for “<a href="https://nypost.com/2003/03/31/prof-pilloried-columbia-community-condemns-words-of-hate/">a million Mogadishus” to be inflicted against American troops in Iraq</a>.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1498 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-07-09T111914.868-e1625854778389-1024x348.png" alt="" width="580" height="197" />

The professor is referring to the Black Hawk Down incident that occurred in Somalia during the <a href="https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/ambush/etc/cron.html">Battle of Mogadishu in 1993</a>,  where 18 American soldiers were killed and over 70 were wounded. Pictures later emerged of <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/legacy-black-hawk-down-180971000/">the bodies of the servicemen being dragged through the streets</a> by Somalian militia groups. The demoralizing aftermath is considered to have contributed to the decision of then-President Bill Clinton to withdraw America’s humanitarian mission from the country.

In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Dr. De Genova serves as the chair of the Special Committee on Race and Social Justice at the University of Houston. <a href="https://uh.edu/class/about-us/race-and-social-justice-committee/">According to the university’s official website</a>, the committee organizes events to educate students about topics such as the “racial formation of modern capitalism, mass incarceration, racism in academia, and the “racial underpinnings for contemporary immigration policy and border policing.” according to the University’s official site.

The Professor Watchlist Team has reached Dr. De Genova for comment but has not received a reply by the time of publication.

<a href="https://uh.edu/hilton-college/Contact-Us/Faculty-Directory/Juan-M.-Madera/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Juan M. Madera</a> is a Curtis L. Carson Endowed Professor of Global Hospitality Leadership at the University of Houston. His research interests include Diversity and Discrimination in the Workplace, Employment Interview and Selection Issues, Training and Development, and Research Methodology. 

<a href="https://issuu.com/uhhiltoncollege/docs/madera_curriculum_vitae" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Madera has multiple publications; including,</a>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Managing group identity in the workplace: The influence of manifestation and suppression on perceived discrimination, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions.” (Cultural Diversity &amp; Ethnic Minority Psychology, 18(2), 165-170)</li>

</ul>
According to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=20506" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, Madera and a few other educators published an article, titled: “<a href="https://www.chronicle.com/article/promotion-rejected-your-record-may-not-be-the-problem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Promotion Rejected? Your Record May Not Be the Problem</a>.” The article was published by the <a href="https://www.chronicle.com/article/promotion-rejected-your-record-may-not-be-the-problem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chronicle of Higher Education</a>, also known as “The Chronicle.” Madera and his co-authors elaborate on a study of fairness and bias in tenure and promotion which “suggests that some candidates are spurned for reasons beyond their control.” The study, “<a href="https://uh.edu/class/psychology/promotionandtenurestudy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fairness and Bias in Promotion and Tenure</a>,” is being conducted through the University of Houston with multiple educators and faculty members, including Madera. The website’s mission statement is to “Determine structural barriers around promotion and tenure limiting the advancement of minority faculty and ultimately the inclusion of all demographic groups in Science.”

The authors of this article argue, “People of color, especially women of color, are the most unlikely to receive promotions or get onboarded… [A]s a woman of color in an otherwise all-white or primarily white department, and particularly in a department that is also male dominated, you may have been at a disadvantage at the outset in terms of fit…”

MingQing Xiao is an <a href="https://math.siu.edu/faculty-staff/faculty/xiao.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">applied math professor at Southern Illinois University.</a> He specializes in partial differential equations, control theory, dynamical systems, and computational science.
On April 21, 2021, the Department of Justice <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/mathematics-professor-and-university-researcher-indicted-grant-fraud" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced that a federal grand jury had returned an indictment</a> charging the professor with two counts of wire fraud and one count of making a false statement. According to the press release:
“Xiao allegedly applied for and received National Science Foundation (NSF) grant funds for a project set to run from 2019 to 2022 without informing NSF about another, overlapping grant he had already received from the Natural Science Foundation of Guangdong Province, China.” 
Additionally:
“Xiao also allegedly failed to inform NSF that he was on the payroll of Shenzhen University, a public university in Guangdong Province, and that he had already committed to teaching and conducting research at Shenzhen University from 2018 to 2023.” 
The release also states that NSF questioned Xiao about any current or pending funding from “worldwide sources” and the indictment accuses him of falsely reporting to NSF that he had nothing else to disclose.
In October 2021, <a href="https://thesouthern.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/feds-pin-additional-charges-on-siu-math-professor-accused-of-scheming-for-grant-dollars/article_ce9c58d4-94a9-5f11-9d87-1db1b8c44782.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">additional charges were levied against Professor Xiao</a>, including tax fraud and failure to disclose a foreign bank account.
On May 5, 2022, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/illinois-professor-convicted-failing-report-chinese-bank-account-2022-05-05/">Reuters</a> reported that Xiao was convicted of failing to disclose a Chinese bank account on his 2017 to 2019 tax returns but was cleared of concealing his ties to China while seeking federal grant funding. The jury acquitted Xiao of making a false statement in connection with a NSF grant proposal and U.S. Judge Staci Yandle “found prosecutors failed to prove two related wire fraud charges.”
In September 2022, Professor Xiao was <a href="https://www.science.org/content/article/u-s-math-professor-gets-probation-not-prison-china-initiative-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sentenced to 1 year of probation and given a $600 fine.</a> Xiao has been on paid administrative leave from SIUC since his indictment in April 2021. As of publication, he is still on leave.

<a href="https://liberalarts.tamu.edu/anthropology/profile/filipe-vieira-de-castro/">Filipe Vieira de Castro</a> is the Frederic R. Mayer Fellow II of Nautical Archaeology, an Anthropology professor, and the Director of the Ship Reconstruction Laboratory at Texas A&amp;M University. Castro is virulently anti-Israel, has expressed anti-Christian sentiments numerous times, slandered prominent conservatives, and confronted Turning Point USA students on campus.

As confirmed by a member of the TPUSA chapter at Texas A&amp;M, Castro approached and immediately began arguing with them while they were tabling at the Memorial Student Center (MSC). Posting about the event later, he stated that TPUSA students should have no place at a university and even joked in a reply to a comment that they should be sent to the gulag for “re-education.”

Castro, among other protestors at Texas A&amp;M University, advocated for the removal of a statue of Sullivan Ross, a Confederate General and former President of the university. When <a href="http://www.thebatt.com/news/protesters-voice-their-opinions-for-and-against-the-sul-ross-statue/article_6b24ced2-ade4-11ea-a872-875170880ccd.html">interviewed</a>, he stated that the statue represented “racism” and “exclusion.”

“Why do we want a statue that stands for racism and exclusion and hatred? Statues are just artifacts, they are not history...History is in the library. If you really want to know the history of the Confederacy, go to the library.” 

While protesting to take down certain statues, he is also an advocate for erecting one of convicted terrorist Susan Rosenberg.

“With ups and downs, she has dedicated her life to fighting injustice. She deserves a statue.” 

As a self-described “rabid anti-Zionist,” Castro is a fierce opponent of the state of Israel. He regularly launches into antisemitic tirades on his personal social media account.

“Yes Israel is the world's largest open air lunatic asylum in the world and the raving lunatics happen to belong to the most educated (and thus resourceful) community in the world....they can, and probably will, kill us all.”

“But this is a genocidal war. Israel is fighting a genocidal war against Palestinians.”

“The Likud has been the Israeli Tea Party...It just takes the right guy...to energize it and channel it towards some easy target. That’s what Hitler did.”

His most incendiary rant was reserved for July 8th. Describing Jews as “savages” and “animals,” Castro compared the modern state of Israel to apartheid-era South Africa before castigating Jews for being insufficiently aware of their persecution in the Holocaust.

“Sadistic motherf******. Racist, savage creeps. The same hatred as in South Africa in the 1980s. Animals. And if it can be more shocking, these creeps should know how it feels to be dehumanized, insulted, beaten, assassinated for religious reasons. They ought to ask their grandparents how it felt to be persecuted.”

Castro’s ire is not only reserved for Jews. According to him, “superstitious” Christians only support Israel out of a subliminal admiration for Adolf Hitler;

“But the majority of Zionists are Evangelical Christians that want all the Jews to go to Israel so that God can bring about Armageddon or, in other words, end Hitler’s work. And their racism is stupid and violent and superstitious.”  

Castro regularly berates Christians, Jews, and other religions online.

“Certain forms of idiocy must be criminalized. America needs to go medieval on hate crimes. Police brutality on African Americans, crimes of antisemitism, Islamophobe, homophobia….Start with the instigators: pastors, imams, rabbis, nazi pundits, etc.”  

“I am always amazed with the hatred with which American Christians hate the world. They are always threatening a country (now it is Iran) or planning to invade a region, and blaming the victims for trying to defend themselves.” 

“Sure, Make the last rabbi eat the last priest and then hang him with the last entrails of the last imam. We would all prefer if there were no mosques, no churches, no synagogues, just libraries, and museums.” 

In one post, he commented that Christians should be allowed to die from COVID as the cost of attending services.

“They all want to go to church next Sunday, eat their god, or whatever they do. I think that they should be allowed to go, but before they should sign a paper and give up the write to a ventilator.”  

Prior to this, Castro seemingly celebrated that Liberty University students would potentially die from COVID:

“Christians thinning the herd :)”

Castro has gloated over prominent conservatives like Herman Cain and Louie Gohmert contracting and dying from COVID:

“And it is true: Covid kills the poor. It also kills some stupid, like Herman Cain, but it mostly kills the poor.” 

In other posts, he celebrated Rush Limbaugh’s cancer diagnosis, called Jordan Peterson a fascist, and claimed that Tucker Carlson is the “voice” of the Ku Klux Klan.   He wrote, “Is it horrible that I actually felt happy to learn that Rush Limbaugh is dying...I just have a nice warm feeling in my heart...?”

“Jordan Peterson doesn’t have the balls to come out as the misogynist fascist that he really is.” 

“So now, without his top writer cretin Tucker, something is not going to be the voice of the KKK anymore? Good to know.” 

He has also repeatedly attacked police officers, describing units as being “full of klansmen.”

Castro has recently received <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2020/08/19/texas-a-m-prof-filipe-castro-calls-trump-fat-klansman-hopes-he-gets-coronavirus/">widespread attention</a> for these and other incendiary remarks from various news outlets.

<a href="https://liberalarts.tamu.edu/anthropology/profile/michael-alvard/">Michael Alvard</a> is an associate professor and Cultural Anthropology Program Coordinator at Texas A&amp;M University.

In June of 2020, Alvard was <a href="https://www.kbtx.com/content/news/Texas-AM-professor-arrested-during-Saturdays-protest--571251361.html">arrested</a> while protesting at the Lawrence Sullivan Ross statue on campus. The Young Democratic Socialists of America at Texas A&amp;M posted his $3,000 bail which may have <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=15230">violated</a> university rules on approved student organizations using personal banking accounts. Alvard <a href="https://www.kbtx.com/content/news/Texas-AM-professor-arrested-during-Saturdays-protest--571251361.html">released a statement</a> to a local news station, KTBX, alleging that the statue represents “institutional racism” and Ross’ life “represented ethnic cleansing, violence, slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow racism.” In his statement, he also insinuated that police officers regularly harm and kill black Americans.

"I’m a white male of privilege. Yesterday, I knew that the police would not kill me or throw me to the ground or stomp on my neck. I can afford to post bail. I’m not the story. The story is the lives of black people and other people of color in our community who must suffer day-in and day-out with the institutional racism that the Ross statue represents." 

Alvard liberally shares his views on his social media, connecting Mount Rushmore to white supremacy, sharing guides of how to tear down statues, and most strikingly, boasting how he lectures his students on how America is a systematically racist nation.

According to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=20506">Campus Reform</a>, Werner and a few other educators recently published an article, titled: “<a href="https://www.chronicle.com/article/promotion-rejected-your-record-may-not-be-the-problem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Promotion Rejected?

<a href="https://www.law.upenn.edu/cf/faculty/raustin/">Regina Austin</a>, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, is a chief indoctrinator. She espouses “critical race theory,” a Marxist-inspired ideology which views white racism as the cause of most societal problems. She uses her classes to promote the ideas of social justice as well.

<a href="https://www.law.upenn.edu/faculty/caralm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cara McClellan</a> is the Founding Director and Practice Associate Professor of the Advocacy for Racial and Civil (ARC) Justice Clinic at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School.

The <a href="https://www.law.upenn.edu/clinic/arc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ARC Justice Clinic</a> “provides students with hands-on experience working in civil rights litigation and policy advocacy in the Philadelphia region using a movement lawyering approach.” According to <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=21584" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, the “theory of movement lawyering” is an “activist-oriented approach to the legal profession.”

A 2021 article posted to the <a href="https://www.americanbar.org/groups/crsj/publications/human_rights_magazine_home/civil-rights-reimagining-policing/movement-lawyering-in-moments-of-crisis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Bar Association’s website</a> says movement lawyering means “building the power of the people, not the power of the law.” The article also suggests, “support is needed as people take to the streets and hold spaces to collectively heal and as we work over the long haul to dismantle systems of oppressions, including white supremacy, cis-heteropatriarchy, and capitalism in our country.”

Similarly, Harvard University released a “<a href="https://hls.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/MovementLawyeringReadingGuide.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Movement Lawyering Reading Guide</a>” in 2013 that refers to the approach as “revolutionary lawyering” and “social justice lawyering.”

The ARC Justice Clinic “provides legal support to community members in the Philadelphia region organizing to demand redress for racial subordination in areas including education, ending over-policing and mass incarceration, economic justice, and health justice.” The website also says students will be directly supervised by Professor McClellan and will represent clients in litigation at the trial.

The clinic also offers bi-weekly seminars that “covers the substantive law at issue in their casework, foundational litigation skills, theory of movement lawyering, and ethical considerations important to social justice advocacy.”

Professor McClellan told the <a href="https://www.thedp.com/article/2023/03/penn-law-arc-clinic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Penn</a> the clinic’s vision is to “advocate for social justice by supporting the goals of its partners and clients, particularly in providing economic prosperity and equal access to resources.” She added, “This is an urgent time in our country to discuss systemic issues like racism, institutional racism, and inequity.”

McClellan said the clinic allows students to ask questions about political and legal practices saying, “People are beginning to ask how can law be used to interrupt systems of inequality. How can we promote the practice of anti-racist lawyering?”

Professor McClellan has also been outspoken on her belief about the need for affirmative action policies in university admissions. In an interview with <a href="https://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/penn-carey-law-case-affirmative-action" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Penn Today</a>, McClellan said, “the effects of systemic racism are still felt today.” She argues ending affirmative action policies would make it harder for minorities to attend college because “segregation and racial inequity remains pervasive in K-12 education, creating an unequal playing field when students apply to college.”

She claims “affirmative action policies benefit all students” and concludes by saying:
“Colleges and universities cannot fulfill their educational missions without cultivating diversity, including racial diversity.”

Fair is also known for her vulgar and carnal tweets directed at conservatives. During the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the fall of 2018, Fair <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=11369" target="_blank" rel="noopener">launched</a> into a racially tinged tirade on her <a href="https://twitter.com/CChristineFair?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> account, accusing Republicans of enabling a rapist and calling for their castration in a series of tweets,

ANTI-LAW ENFORCEMENT
In 2018, Fair was <a href="https://thehoya.com/news/georgetown-professor-accused-calling-german-officer-nazi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in The Hoya article </a>“Georgetown Professor Accused of Calling German Officer a ‘Nazi.’” 
The publication explained, “The alleged confrontation occurred after an airport security agent pulled Fair aside and summoned a German police officer, as required by law after an X-ray machine at a security checkpoint indicated her luggage might contain explosives.”
It turns out the substances found in Fair’s bags — cosmetics and roll-on deodorant — had exceeded the amount permitted by law enforcement. The Hoya said, “After the police suggested Fair store a roll-on deodorant in her carry-on bag, the police report states Fair reacted aggressively and called the police ‘f–king bastards’ and ‘f–king Nazi police.’”
The Hoya recorded Fair’s response:
“‘The whole thing was a straight-up shakedown. At the end of the day, this officer just did not want a customer service complaint. If I were a white guy, this wouldn’t be happening to me. For example, the cop called me a hippie. Why am I of all people derided as a hippie?’”
Despite corroborating witness statements cited in the police report — as well as accusations that Fair said another passenger had a “Hitler Youth haircut” — Fair denied all allegations. 
After being detained by German police, the report said Fair was fined $260 in legal fees.

Though he is widely known for his extremely controversial and extreme opinions, constantly referring to how much he hates cops. Though he may have taken it a step too far with of of his latest, stating, “Yes, ALL white people are racist. Yes, ALL men are sexist. Yes, ALL cis people are transphobic. We have to unpack that. That's the work!”

<a href="https://lannan.georgetown.edu/past-guests/michael-eric-dyson/">Michael Eric Dyson</a> is a Professor of Sociology at Georgetown University.

Dyson has<a href="https://www.wglt.org/post/dyson-isu-white-supremacy-sees-resurgence-under-trump-0#stream/0"> alleged</a> that there has been a “resurgence” of white supremacy under a conservative presidency. In an interview with<a href="https://video.foxnews.com/v/5308799067001#sp=show-clips"> Tucker Carlson</a>, he has also asked for whites to pay reparations to black communities to offset America’s legacy of racism. During a<a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?445812-1/aurea-foundation-hosts-munk-debate-political-correctness"> debate</a> on political correctness in 2018 with Professor Jordan Peterson, Dyson repeatedly referred to Peterson as just a “mean, mad, old, white, man.” 

Just prior to Independence Day 2019, Dyson appeared on<a href="https://www.mediaite.com/politics/michael-eric-dyson-on-betsy-ross-flag-symbolism-why-dont-we-wear-a-swastika-for-july-fourth/"> MSNBC </a>and compared the iconic Betsy Ross Flag to a Nazi Swastika,

“Well, it hails from the Revolutionary period, of course, of this nation’s founding, which was deeply embroiled in, you know, enslavement, of the owners of slaves…..Right-wing white supremacists have used it as a rallying cry for their own cause.” 

Dyson continued,

“Words matter, symbols matter too. Why don’t we wear a swastika for July Fourth? Because I don’t know, it makes a difference.”

Dyson is also associated with the notorious anti-Semite and Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan. In 2010, Dyson<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ULAThBZKiM"> participated</a> in a roundtable discussion hosted by PBS with Farrakhan and<a href="http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/Minister_Louis_Farrakhan_9/article_7248.shtml"> interviewed</a> him the same year about the economic condition of black communities.

<a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/00336000014U15mAAC/peter-strzok-ii">Peter Strzok</a> is an adjunct professor at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/peter-strzok-hired-to-teach-counterintelligence-at-georgetown-university/">Strzok was recently hired</a> by the Walsh School of Foreign Service and teaches <a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/course-catalog/a1o1Q00000271IyQAI/ipol32301?id=00336000014U15mAAC">Counterintelligence and National Security.</a>

Strzok—a former counterintelligence agent with the FBI—was known for his lead role in the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election and former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/declassified-trump-russia-launch-document-authored-by-strzok-and-investigated-by-durham">Strzok launched a counterintelligence operation</a> and obtained multiple warrants to spy on individuals connected to the Trump campaign to determine if the candidate was illegally cultivating ties with Russia. Code-named Operation Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI’s investigation heavily relied on information provided by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele.

Steele had compiled a series of lurid allegations against then-candidate Trump, alleging liabilities to the Kremlin would allow him to be blackmailed by Russia. Referred to as the Steele Dossier, it was <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/clinton-campaign-dnc-paid-for-research-that-led-to-russia-dossier/2017/10/24/226fabf0-b8e4-11e7-a908-a3470754bbb9_story.html?tid=ss_tw&amp;utm_term=.be21b9cb9402">initially paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign</a> before being <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/doj-inspector-general-slams-bruce-ohr-for-consequential-errors-in-judgment">ferried by Bruce Ohr</a> of the Justice Department to the FBI. The Obama Administration was <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/dni-releases-cia-documents-on-hillary-clintons-plan-to-tie-trump-campaign-to-russia-to-distract-from-email-scandal/">briefed by CIA director John Brennan</a> about Clinton's attempt to use the dossier as an effort to tie the Trump campaign to Russia. The FBI used Steele as an informant to obtain FISA warrants against campaign surrogates George Papadopoulos and Carter Page.

It was later revealed that Steele’s source for the dossier was a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-previously-investigated-steele-dossier-source-as-russian-agent">suspected Russian spy</a> and his <a href="https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2020/07/24/meet_steele_dossiers_primary_subsource_fabulist_russian_at_us_think_tank_whose_boozy_past_the_fbi_ignored_124601.html">allegations were unfounded</a>. Despite Steele being removed by the FBI for his misconduct, this information <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/what-to-expect-from-inspector-general-michael-horowitzs-report-on-alleged-fisa-abuses">was withheld from a FISA court when seeking warrants</a> to surveil Papadopoulos and Page. The FBI claimed that Steele was not the source contained in the application while continuing to rely on his allegations.

<a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/15/newly-declassified-papadopoulos-transcript-exposes-crossfire-hurricane-corruption/">Papadopoulos</a> was ultimately never charged with colluding with Russia and the warrants issued for Page have been <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/carter-page-fisa-warrant-lacked-probable-cause-declassified-doj-order-finds">found to lack probable cause for surveillance</a>. A top lawyer working for Strzok has <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/11/22/washington-post-quietly-changes-story-on-altered-russia-probe-document/">pleaded guilty to falsifying information</a> in order to obtain a warrant for Page.

Peter Strzok was also instrumental in setting a perjury trap for General Flynn. Initially a target of Crossfire Hurricane, the Bureau soon closed the investigation over a lack of evidence. Strzok then <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/30/breaking-fbi-closed-flynn-case-dubbed-crossfire-razor-in-early-2017-until-strzok-ordered-it-to-stay-open/">intervened and immediately reopened</a> the case in early 2017. Hoping to catch <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/29/explosive-new-flynn-documents-show-fbi-goal-was-to-get-him-fired/">Flynn in a lie so that he would be fired</a>, Strzok interviewed Flynn over his recent conversation with the Russian Ambassador regarding sanctions. Despite Strzok or then <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/comey-told-obama-flynn-conversations-154702223.html">FBI director James Comey</a> believing that Fynn had not lied or mischaracterized the interaction, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/05/04/your-guide-to-the-obama-administrations-hit-on-michael-flynn/">the FBI charged Flynn with lying under oath</a>. The resultant trial nearly <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/now-imperiled-case-against-flynn-cost-him-millions-of-dollars-his-house-his-job">bankrupted Flynn’s family</a> and is still ongoing.

Throughout 2016 and 2017, Strzok was texting with fellow agent Lisa Page (of whom he was having an affair with at the time) <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/peter-strzok-trump-smell-hillbillies-1020892">his disdain for Trump supporters</a> and his desire to remove Donald Trump for office, referring to a supposed “<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/devin-nunes-peter-strzoks-insurance-policy-was-about-carter-page-fisa-warrant">insurance policy</a>” should he win the election. Strzok, then working with Robert Mueller, coordinated with Lisa Page t<a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/commentary/newly-disclosed-strzok-page-texts-shed-new-light-media-leak-strategy">o selectively leak information</a> about investigations to potentially obtain further warrants.

Strzok was soon <a href="https://apnews.com/article/fc94343ce2ace8e855cf7ef7efe9c8bf">removed from Mueller's team</a> once his communications were discovered, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2018/12/13/doj-destroyed-missing-strzok-page-text-messages-before-ig-reviewed-them/">but wiped his phone</a> before it could be reviewed for any further potentially incriminating texts. <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/fbi-agent-peter-strzok-who-sent-anti-trump-tweets-fired-n900161">He was later fired</a> by the FBI and <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/gregg-jarrett-ig-report-shows-fbi-misconduct-and-abuses-in-anti-trump-probe-of-russia-collusion-hoax">excoriated by an Inspector General’s report</a> over his partisan activities on a government-issued phone.

Throughout his career, Strzok has vindictively wielded the power of the state for his own purposes. To this day, he remains unrepentant and has <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/compromised-peter-strzok-on-investigating-the-trump-campaign/">repeatedly defended his actions</a>, even <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Untitled-Houghton-Mifflin-Harcourt/dp/0358237068">authoring a book</a> accusing the president of being compromised by Vladimir Putin.

Strzok’s texts to Lisa Page demonstrate a clear bias against conservatives, extending far beyond mere words. Strzok has repeatedly and flagrantly discriminated against conservatives.

Acting with impunity, Strzok and his team lied, falsified evidence, spied on, and attempted to bankrupt those serving on a presidential campaign that he opposed. As a professor, Strzok will hold the pivotal role of mentoring future leaders of the intelligence and law enforcement community— the same community whose principles he flagrantly violated. He will also hold the grades of his conservative students in a vice, subject to his personal prejudice. As someone that has demonstrated seemingly no prior hesitation in targeting conservatives, there is no reason to believe that Strzok will not place future students in his crosshairs.

Mr. <a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/0031Q00002Ad6npQAB/josh-ruebner">Josh Ruebner</a> is an adjunct faculty member in the <a href="https://justiceandpeace.georgetown.edu/">Program on Justice and Peace</a> at Georgetown University. According to Georgetown's website, the goal of the Justice and Peace Program is to produce “practically useful scholarships on how to create a more just and peaceful world.” In addition to his teaching roles, Ruebner is a Managing Director for the organization <a href="https://www.ampalestine.org/about-amp/staff">American Muslims for Palestine (AMP)</a>.

Mr. Ruebner has served in the Congressional Research Service (CRS), which provides policy analysis on behalf of committees in both the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. As a member of the CRS, Mr. Ruebner co-authored <a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs1535/m1/1/high_res_d/RL30713_2001Jan05.pdf">The Current Palestinian Uprising: Al-Aqsa Intifadah</a>, in which he accuses Israel of disproportionate use of force against Palestinians. Ruebner has also <a href="https://joshruebner.com/jewish-anti-occupation-group-lobbies-u-s/">sponsored</a> congressional staff members on a trip to the West Bank to advocate cutting off economic aid to Israel.

In 2018, Mr. Ruebner authored a book titled <a href="https://www.interlinkbooks.com/product/israel/">Israel: Democracy or Apartheid State?</a> In an event for the book’s release hosted by <a href="https://thejerusalemfund.org/category/pc">The Palestine Center</a>—a Palestinian advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C.—Mr. Ruebner <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqvfPNDwF70&amp;ab_channel=TheJerusalemFund%26PalestineCenter">accuses</a> Israel of enacting policies similar to apartheid-era South Africa.

&nbsp;

Mr. Ruebner alleges that terrorist attacks committed against America are directly linked to ties with Israel. In a December 2002 article titled <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/12/10/striking-with-impunity/">Striking with Impunity</a>, he states that America is guilty of war crimes for providing military aid to Israel—claiming Israel uses this equipment to commit human rights abuses. Mr. Ruebner asks the readers in the same article, how many more “towers need to fall?”—in reference to the horrific September 11th terrorist attacks—before America stops supporting Israel.

<a href="https://pediatrics.georgetown.edu/reitman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. David Reitman</a> is a doctor and Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at <a href="https://www.georgetown.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Georgetown University</a>. In a leaked lecture, Dr. Reitman advocates for administering puberty-blocking drugs to transition gender-dysphoric minors.

Slides from the lecture delivered to incoming medical students by Dr. Reitman—<a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/georgetown-catholic-medical-school-hormone-therapy-minors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which were obtained by The Spectator</a>—warn that gender dysphoria is a life-threatening condition that often results in suicide. He maintains the only way to treat the depression of transgender minors is through surgery or hormone replacement to “fix” their bodies.

<img class="size-full wp-image-2469 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.56.54-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

&nbsp;

Further, Dr. Reitman claims that even infants can understand their true gender identity. He instructs students to determine if their patients may be transgender by asking the child if he/she wants to grow their hair a certain length or play dress-up. 

<img class="size-full wp-image-2465 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.52.29-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

<img class="size-full wp-image-2466 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.01-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

&nbsp;

Dr. Reitman notes that it's optimal to identify gender dysphoria before puberty to begin cross-sex hormone treatment. He states this will prevent “unwanted secondary sex characteristics” and the minor will not have to undergo gender-transition surgeries later in life. 

<img class="size-full wp-image-2467 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.48-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

&nbsp;

Dr. Reitman then claims the effects of the drugs are fully reversible and puberty can be resumed at any time. While acknowledging these treatments have serious side effects such as loss of bone density, liver damage, and infertility, he still states there is a net benefit.  

<img class="size-full wp-image-2468 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.55.04-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

&nbsp;

A common drug used in gender transitions is Lupron, which was <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designed to castrate sex offenders</a>. Even if the dosage is <a href="https://www.commonsense.news/p/top-trans-doctors-blow-the-whistle?s=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">halted mid-transition, children are still unable to undergo puberty.</a> 

The Spectator further reports that <a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/georgetown-catholic-medical-school-hormone-therapy-minors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Reitman then displayed explicit images of “top” and “bottom” surgeries.</a> This refers to either a double mastectomy (top surgery) or the surgical removal/altering of genitalia (bottom surgery) as part of the transition process.

<a href="https://www.law.georgetown.edu/faculty/dorothy-brown/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dorothy A. Brown</a> is a Professor at Georgetown University. <a href="https://www.law.georgetown.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Brown_CV_June_2022.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to her CV</a>, Brown teaches courses on federal income tax, critical race theory, corporate tax

As the author of “<a href="https://www.harvard.com/book/whiteness_of_wealth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Whiteness of Wealth</a>,” Brown alleges the American tax code was created to prevent black Americans from achieving financial success. As a result, Brown claims that wealth creation was sequestered for white families. 

In 2021, Brown was <a href="https://www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Professor%20Dorothy%20Brown%20Testimony.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">invited by the Senate Finance Committee</a> to deliver testimony regarding her research. She stated that America still suffers from systemic racism and the tax law only perpetuates racial inequity. She further alleged that Americans bring their racial identities into their tax codes, as the tax law was written alongside Jim Crow laws to benefit whites. 

“What my research has revealed is that because systemic racism is very real, all American taxpayers bring our racial identities onto our tax returns.”

During an interview with the Rockafeller Foundation, Brown further claimed that only “white wealth” can be built in America. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bQgVPl9-xg&amp;ab_channel=PoliticsandProse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a separate interview</a> with Elie Mystal—who once <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/nation-correspondent-elie-mystal-us-constitution-actually-trash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called the U.S. Constitution “trash”</a>—Brown again affirmed that building wealth is inherently connected to race. Citing college drop-out rates and unemployment amongst blacks, she claimed these and other disparities are proof the tax code exists to benefit white people. 

To alleviate racial inequity, Dr. Brown suggests the following: 

- Levy a “reparations” tax to repay black Americans for past and present discrimination. 

- Mandate companies' self-audit each year in order to ensure they are hiring a proportionate number of employees from each race. 

- Deny white Americans mortgage exemptions if they do not live in a neighborhood where at least 10% of their neighbors are black. 

During the Q&amp;A section of the interview, Brown laments that she cannot adopt an explicitly “pro-black” tax policy, as the Supreme Court would not uphold it. Rather, she admits that her initial proposals will have to target income levels rather than cater to specific races.

Professor Jeff Bernstein, Georgetown University, was a Master of Foreign Service advisory board member. Bernstein made the list after he responded to a Tweet sent out by Allie Stuckey that stated: "The #metoo movement is a symptom of a broken world." Bernstein chose to respond to this Tweet with his own, saying, "Wishing you a #metoo moment. Maybe then you won't be so insensitive." Bernstein has since apologized for the Tweet and has resigned from his position with Georgetown University.

At one point, she stated that Christians don’t believe the Gospel if they cannot bring themselves to say, “Black Lives Matter.”

Also in the Empowerment Starts Here podcast, Bridgeman stated that she does not care if white people come to love black people. She states that from a “Christian proposition,” white people as a whole need to change their hearts and be redeemed.

Bridgeman dives deeper into her “womanist” perspectives in her book, <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=Uu_mDAAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA482&amp;lpg=PA482&amp;dq=womanist+approaches+to+the+prophets+-+valerie+bridgeman&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=FER1LKVrLV&amp;sig=ACfU3U3B-rpnr_yB7-zEOwRBCaNAVbD7aA&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwim58-KvIDwAhUbOs0KHcqaC3EQ6AEwBnoECBAQAw#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oxford Handbook of the Prophets</a>–specifically in a chapter titled <a href="https://www.oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199859559.001.0001/oxfordhb-9780199859559-e-27" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Womanist Approaches to the Prophets</a>. She describes a “womanist” as someone who reads the Bible through the experiences of poor black women or women of color. She claims that this allows readers to view the Bible through critical gender and race theories.

As Breitbart <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a>, Critical Race Theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism falsely claiming that America and all of its institutions are infected with white supremacy.
The Professor Watchlist team reached out to Bridgeman for comment but did not receive a reply by the time of publication.

The organization trains women and pastors, and works to develop programming for “people of all genders.” During an interview on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUkboNr4XUA&amp;ab_channel=KineticsLive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kinetics Live</a>, Bridgeman explains the organization’s goal of training men and women to perform ministry work from a womanist and feminist point of view

Bridgeman has repeatedly attacked white people across multiple internet platforms. In an op-ed titled <a href="https://churchanew.org/blog/posts/valerie-bridgeman-may-you-be-brave" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May You Be Brave</a>, Bridgeman states that she doesn’t feel safe around white people.

Bridgeman’s personal <a href="https://twitter.com/DrValerieB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> is littered with racial attacks against white people. In one tweet specifically, she alleges that white people “rarely do the right thing”.

While on the <a href="https://eshpodcast.libsyn.com/the-case-of-blm-with-reverend-valerie-bridgeman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Empowerment Starts Here</a> podcast, Bridgeman praised the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. At one point, she stated that Christians don’t believe the Gospel if they cannot bring themselves to say, “Black Lives Matter.”

In the same podcast, Bridgeman further <a href="https://eshpodcast.libsyn.com/the-case-of-blm-with-reverend-valerie-bridgeman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states</a> that Christians who do not believe that Jesus was a “Black Woman” also do not believe in the Gospel.

&nbsp;

Also in the Empowerment Starts Here podcast, Bridgeman stated that she does not care if white people come to love black people. She states that from a “Christian proposition,” white people as a whole need to change their hearts and be redeemed.

&nbsp;

Bridgeman dives deeper into her “womanist” perspectives in her book, <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=Uu_mDAAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA482&amp;lpg=PA482&amp;dq=womanist+approaches+to+the+prophets+-+valerie+bridgeman&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=FER1LKVrLV&amp;sig=ACfU3U3B-rpnr_yB7-zEOwRBCaNAVbD7aA&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwim58-KvIDwAhUbOs0KHcqaC3EQ6AEwBnoECBAQAw#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oxford Handbook of the Prophets</a>–specifically in a chapter titled <a href="https://www.oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199859559.001.0001/oxfordhb-9780199859559-e-27" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Womanist Approaches to the Prophets</a>. She describes a “womanist” as someone who reads the Bible through the experiences of poor black women or women of color. She claims that this allows readers to view the Bible through critical gender and race theories.

As Breitbart <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a>, Critical Race Theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism falsely claiming that America and all of its institutions are infected with white supremacy.

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

University of California-Berkeley

<a href="https://ethnicstudies.berkeley.edu/people/hatem-bazian/">Hatem Bazian</a> is a professor of Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the <a href="https://zaytuna.edu/academics/faculty/hatem-bazian">co-founder and assistant professor </a>at Zaytuna College, which is the only accredited American college in which the curriculum is based on Islamic fundamentals. Bazian’s resume is littered with antisemitic and pro-terror incidents, both on and off-campus.

When attending San Francisco State University, Bazian accused the student newspaper of being <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/19590/profiles-in-hate-hatem-bazian">infiltrated by “Jewish spies</a>,” and allegedly denied Jewish students jobs while serving as Student Body President, claiming their support of Israel exhibited their racism.

Bazian’s activism grew more militant with time. At an Islamic conference in 1999, he was quoted by the Detroit Free Press reciting an Islamic Hadith <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/8865/hatem-bazian-personal-story">calling for the slaughter of Jews</a>.
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2093" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-05-27T110304.469-e1653674626458-1024x506.png" alt="" width="450" height="223" />
After 79 members of Students for Justice in Palestine were arrested for disrupting a Holocaust memorial, Bazian asserted that the university's actions were racially motivated. During the subsequently organized protests, Bazain <a href="https://www.jweekly.com/2018/10/22/berkeley-city-councils-shameful-tolerance-of-anti-semitism/">insinuated that powerful Jews controlled the University and orchestrated the arrests</a>.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-986" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-25-e1606771551100-1024x312.png" alt="" width="450" height="137" />

Bazian’s thinly veiled antisemitism is seamlessly <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Hatem_Bazian">interlaced with his anti-Israel demagoguery</a>. A proponent of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement,  Bazian has called for the dismantlement of the state of Israel and has praised the terrorist group Hamas. Bazian <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mfv5yaKxNgo&amp;ab_channel=HamasOnCampus">openly called for a domestic insurrection</a> within America. Calling the crowd to arms at a 2003 anti-war rally, Bazian called for an “Intifada” to start in America.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2094" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-05-27T110636.459-e1653674828851-1024x532.png" alt="" width="450" height="234" />

The Intifada was then in the midst of its third year of blood-soaked carnage in Israel. Before it abated in 2006, <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/comprehensive-listing-of-terrorism-victims-in-israel">over one thousand men, women, and children would perish</a> from sniper fire and suicide attacks on buses, markets, and restaurants. The most gruesome attacks included the <a href="https://www.algemeiner.com/2020/10/26/what-the-ramallah-lynchings-taught-us-about-palestinian-incitement/">public lynching and disembowelment of two Israeli soldiers</a>, and the <a href="https://www.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/18-years-after-sbarro-suicide-attack-pa-has-paid-910823-to-the-culprits-598106">bombing of a Sbarro pizzeria</a>, killing 15 civilians, including 7 children and a pregnant woman.

Extending to the classroom and beyond, Bazian has co-founded two anti-Israel groups: <a href="https://canarymission.org/organization/SJP">Students for Justice in Palestine</a> (SJP), and American Muslims for Palestine (AMP).

Bazian co-founded SJP with fellow professor <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/snehalshingavi">Snehal Shingavi</a> in 2001 in solidarity with Palestinian groups, as the Intifada raged in Israel. The group is known for its belligerent tactics and hostility towards Jewish and pro-Israel students on campus. SJP openly calls for the destruction of Israel and has never been shy about their support for Hamas. <a href="https://canarymission.org/individual/Azka_Fayyaz">A student senator and member of SJP</a> at UC Davis <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/new-film-depicts-jewish-students-growing-insecurity-on-campus/">welcomed “Hamas and sharia law"</a> to campus.

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

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

UPDATE - May 27, 2022
A previous edition that attributed a quote to Hatem Bazian has been corrected and attributed to an article hosted on the IAP website in December, 2000

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

<a href="https://vcresearch.berkeley.edu/faculty/nancy-scheper-hughes">Nancy Scheper-Hughes</a> is the Chancellor’s Professor Emerita in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkely.

Anti-Second Amendment 
Immediately following the Pulse nightclub shooting, in which a Muslim man who pledged allegiance to ISIS <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/multiple-injuries-shooting-orlando-nightclub-police/story?id=39789552">entered Pulse, a gay nightclub, and opened fire, killing 50 individuals</a>, Scheper-Hughes <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160621134259/http://blogs.berkeley.edu/2016/06/19/radical-evil-a-reflection-on-the-orlando-massacre/">published</a> an article on the Berkeley Blog, a university website, to reflect on the events of the previous evening, titled, Radical evil: A reflection on the Orlando massacre.

In her article, Hughes <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160621134259/http://blogs.berkeley.edu/2016/06/19/radical-evil-a-reflection-on-the-orlando-massacre/">describes</a> the Pulse nightclub as a “sacred space” that was attacked by a man she describes as “radically evil.” However, she then blames the killings on hate speech of the “trumpers'' and the <a href="https://home.nra.org/">National Rifle Association</a>.

Referring to the Second Amendment in the post, Scheper-Hughes <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160621134259/http://blogs.berkeley.edu/2016/06/19/radical-evil-a-reflection-on-the-orlando-massacre/">states</a> that we have “failed as a democracy” to let “one amendment trump” all other amendments, leading to killings like the one in Orlando. She alleges that massacres throughout American history are typically committed by “orthodox conservatives” that suffer from a "perversity of heart."

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1276 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-04-14T155457.142-e1618440946562-1024x583.png" alt="" width="580" height="330" />
Censorship
In mid-2017, the Berkely College Republicans <a href="https://twitter.com/BerkeleyCRs/status/884816647546064896">announced</a> on the group's Twitter account that they would host popular commentator Ben Shapiro. In an article for the website, CounterPunch, Scheper-Hughes <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/09/13/the-great-wall-of-uc-berkeley-vs-baby-face-shapiro/">decries</a> the decision to host Shapiro at the university, describing him as a “smart aleck, wisecracking, racist, sexist, misogynist, Islamophobic jerk.” She goes on to describe Shapiro as a “very dangerous, extremely controversial, physical threat” to Berkeley’s student body.

Scheper-Hughes further <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/09/13/the-great-wall-of-uc-berkeley-vs-baby-face-shapiro/">describes</a> Ben Shapiro in her article as a member of the “alt-light” that engages in hate speech. Hughes states that the First Amendment is a “work in progress” and that the amendment is “ignorant” and inadequately able to combat “hate speech.”

<img class="wp-image-1274 size-large aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-04-09T095657.035-e1617987455517-1024x299.png" alt="" width="580" height="169" />

While acknowledging that the university is “stuck” with the protections that the First Amendment affords Ben Shapiro, Scheper-Hughes implies that free speech can be regulated to ban hate speech.

The Professor Watchlist team reached out to Scheper-Hughes for comment but has not received a reply by the time of publication.

At the beginning of Hendel’s class, titled “Jewish Civilization I: The Biblical Period,” he told students not to take his class if they think the Bible is infallible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

As <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro writes in Breitbart News</a>, critical race theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism that views America and all of its institutions as being infected with white supremacy—to the point of some, including <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claiming</a> America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England.

Dr. Leonardo has additionally published a number of other articles on critical race theory, race, and education. These include titles such as, “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/23793406.2016.1167111?journalCode=rree20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tropics of Whiteness</a>,” “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01596306.2013.822624" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Story of Schooling: Critical Theory and the Educational Racial Contract</a>,” and, “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13613320120117180" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Souls of White Folk</a>.” Another is titled, “<a href="https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9780203880371/race-whiteness-education-zeus-leonardo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race, Whiteness, and Education</a>,” in which he affirms the “central role” racism plays in society.

Dr. Leonardo declares racism to be systematic rather than based on individuals and must be addressed as such. He outlines the paper’s intent to interrupt this “dangerous” assertion in order to confront “whiteness” and racism in education. Further, in the same paper, Dr. Leonardo advocates the blending of Marxism and whiteness studies to understand racism. He then addresses the “myth” that whites do not think of themselves exclusively along with racial terms and that capitalism has spread “whiteness” across the globe.

In a separate lecture, Dr. Leonardo lauds critical race theory in even more explicit terms. In a lecture titled, “Who is afraid of CRT?” hosted at George Washington University, the event was <a href="https://gwtoday.gwu.edu/who%E2%80%99s-afraid-critical-race-theory-and-what-exactly-it-anyway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">marketed as an examination of “critical race theory, marxism, and whiteness studies</a>”.

In the lecture, Dr. Leonardo states the intent of his work in whiteness studies is to solve the problem of “whiteness” itself.

“In whiteness studies, whiteness is  the problem to be posed, if not solved.”

In another clip–captured by the Twitter user, <a href="https://twitter.com/MythinformedMKE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mythinformed MYKE</a>—Dr. Leonardo states, “whites are not born white,” rather, they are “abused’ by their white parents and raised that way.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

She has further claimed that men can give birth and has refused to say whether unborn babies are worthy of dignity.

Dr. Bridges condemned the Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.—<a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/19-1392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dobbs V.

“When you have a law that makes abortion unavailable, you have a law that makes unavailable a service upon which Black people disproportionately rely, so there’s a specific racial impact.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

According to <a href="https://www.easternecho.com/article/2024/10/emu-suspends-professor-amid-publicity-over-criminal-sexual-conduct-investigation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Eastern Echo</a>, Coatings Research Institute Director Vijay Mannari was suspended from teaching due to his appearance on a catch a predator show where he was caught and arrested for attempting to have sex with a minor. 
In an <a href="https://www.watchtrublu.com/takedown-with-chris-hansen/season:10/videos/td-huron-township-vijay-fc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">episode</a> of “Takedown with Chris Hansen,” a law enforcement agent acted as a 15-year-old girl in a series of messages with Mannari. The professor sent sexually explicit texts to the agent before he arrived at the set-up house. He was arrested after talking with Chris Hansen about his actions.  
Eastern Michigan University issued the following <a href="https://today.emich.edu/story/statement/12839" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> in light of Mannari’s suspension:
“The actions the individual is accused of are detestable and abhorrent, and stand against everything the University stands for. 
Upon learning about this matter, the individual was immediately suspended, barred from campus, denied access to University email, and prohibited from any further contact with the University or our students. 
Although the investigation remains ongoing, the University is not aware of any allegations against the individual that involve University employees or students.
The University is cooperating fully with law enforcement and will continue to monitor the situation closely. We take these matters very seriously, as the safety and well-being of our campus community is our top priority.”
Mannari’s profile on <a href="https://fozdardynamics.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fozdar Dynamic</a>—a chemical solutions research group–states that he “has a very strong professional network across the globe, is very active in serving many professional organizations, universities, and companies as a member of technical advisory boards.”

He is also Director of the <a href="https://www.emich.edu/smart-research-project/index.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Southeastern Michigan Criminal Justice Policy Research Project (SMART)</a>.

In an article for <a href="https://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/2021/11/eastern-michigan-university-project-to-address-racial-inequities-in-policing.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLive</a>, Karpiak described SMART as a “multidisciplinary team consisting of EMU faculty in sociology, anthropology, criminology, political science and public administration programs to address the deep-rooted issues of our current system.” SMART “seeks to train local agencies to ‘promote transformation in public safety.’”

SMART is currently <a href="https://www.emich.edu/smart-research-project/index.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">working on three projects</a>, one of which is titled “Understanding the Black Experience of Policing in East Dearborn.” This project is collecting oral history narratives of the experiences of black residents with the Dearborn Police Department.

Karpiak is also a member of the <a href="https://www.reenvisionoursafety.org/about.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coalition to Re-Envision Our Safety (CROS)</a>, a “multiracial group” that “care[s] deeply about transformative justice and building care-based safety in our community.” The group says they “fully support a non-police/unarmed response” and claim they have written an “effective proposal” to accomplish this goal.

The <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/police-can-make-a-crisis-worse-the-public-needs-alternatives-in-an-emergency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">main aspects of the CROS plan</a> include that the:

Dr. <a href="https://facstaff.elon.edu/msquire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megan Squire</a> is a Professor of Computer Science at <a href="https://www.elon.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon University</a> in North Carolina. Professor Squire primarily researches the application of data science techniques to understand “<a href="https://facstaff.elon.edu/msquire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">niche and extremist online communities, particularly radical right-wing groups on social media</a>”, according to her university biography.
Dr. Squire’s biography further states that she has discussed her work on “numerous media outlets.” Those listed on her profile include <a href="https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2021/01/january-6-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mother Jones</a>, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-or-war-how-the-capitol-mob-mobilized-on-social-media-11610069778" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal</a>, and the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/08/technology/dlive-capitol-mob.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a>. The biography also lists her as a Senior Fellow for Data Analytics at the <a href="https://www.splcenter.org/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw1PSDBhDbARIsAPeTqrds2_QifoTQNEigacYteOjjceEp6PgvIhokk5QP2onVJzkOCb08DzAaAs31EALw_wcB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Southern Poverty Law Center</a> (SPLC) and the head of the Technical Research Unit at the <a href="https://www.radicalrightanalysis.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Analysis of the Radical Right</a> (CARR).
In a study—titled, &#8220;Network Text, and Image Analysis of Anti-Muslim Groups on Facebook,&#8221;—Squire defines Islamaphobia, anti-Muslim bias, as “indiscriminate negative attitudes, hostility” or bias against Islam as a religion and against Muslims in the same <a href="https://webscience-journal.net/webscience/article/view/77" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a>.  The paper also lists various “ideologies” that Squire claims exhibit an anti-Muslim bias.
Dr. Squire <a href="https://webscience-journal.net/webscience/article/view/77" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states </a>that Islamophobia attitudes and “overt acts of hate” are increasingly common in a study, titled Network, Text, Image Analysis of Anti-Muslim Groups on Facebook, published in the <a href="https://webscience-journal.net/webscience" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Journal of Web Science</a>. She claims that the purpose of her paper is to “begin to understand how anti-muslim political groups use the Facebook social network to build their online communities and perpetuate their beliefs.” She further states that her research can be used by platform providers to “confront and condemn” what she describes as “anti-Muslim bias.”

Redneck Revolt describes itself as a “national network community defense organization” that focuses on “class liberation” according to the group’s <a href="https://www.redneckrevolt.org/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>.

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

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

Squire <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180318080144/https://www.wired.com/story/free-speech-issue-antifa-data-mining/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">distributes her research to multiple ANTIFA organizations across the country</a>. Her connection to ANTIFA is documented in an article for Wired Magazine, titled Meet Antifa’s Secret Weapon Against Far-Right Extremism. Squire is “sympathetic” to ANTIFA’s goals and refuses to condemn the group’s violent tactics according to the article. Wired further states that Squire uses her connections with ANTIFA to send data to groups like Redneck Revolt.

Redneck Revolt describes itself as a “national network community defense organization” that focuses on “class liberation” according to the group’s <a href="https://www.redneckrevolt.org/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>. The organization states that it is  an “above-ground, militant organization” as an organizing principle and states openly that “we are not pacifists.”<img class="wp-image-1907 size-large aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-30T150704.380-e1638310062186-1024x381.png" alt="" width="580" height="216" />

Squire additionally <a href="https://www.radicalrightanalysis.com/carr-research-units/carrs-technology-research-unit-tru/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">provides her research to large technology companies in addition to ANTIFA groups </a>as the head of CARR’s Technological Research Unit. In her role, Squire documents how the radical right “exploits technology and online platforms”, according to the organization’s website. The site also describes Squire’s role as building relationships with stakeholders at social media companies in order to assist them with content moderation regarding far-right groups.

<a href="https://medicine.yale.edu/profile/meredithe-mcnamara/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meredithe McNamara</a>, MD, is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Affiliate Faculty at Yale School of Medicine. Her university profile says she “cares for youth aged 11–25” and is interested in “implementing best practices in the care of youth facing complex trauma and high-risk social situations.” Dr. McNamara’s Yale New Haven Health <a href="https://www.ynhh.org/physicians/meredithe-mcnamara" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profile</a> biography states:
“Adolescent medicine is a one-stop shopping for all of a youth’s health needs, including general care, mental health and coping with trauma…safe sex and birth control, substance use support, and gender-affirming care.”
In a video titled “<a href="https://vimeo.com/839075778" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gender Transition in Young People</a>,” Dr. McNamara is asked how policies that restrict gender transition in minors affect their mental health. She stated:
“They’re very harmful to the mental health of trans and gender-diverse young people. The intrusion of legal interference in standard healthcare is not something that we’re really used to. This is kind of like a brand new and dangerous force that’s infiltrating not only our healthcare but also our social networks…”
She goes on to say that sex reassignment bans are “causing a lot of existential dread” and “deprive young people of life-saving healthcare that affirms who they are.”
Dr. McNamara appeared as a guest on <a href="https://youtu.be/9iHKUJPvjtc">News Nation</a>, with host Chris Cuomo, where she advocated for transitioning children from an early age:

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

Daniel Martinez HoSang is <a href="https://politicalscience.yale.edu/people/daniel-hosang" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an Associate Professor</a> of Ethnicity, Race &amp; Migration and American Studies at Yale University. He has written many publications and focuses his work on racism and race in politics. He holds strong opinions about conservatives and has both written and lectured several times on the subject.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1633" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-05-at-2.54.00-PM.png" alt="" width="528" height="166" />

Dr. HoSang recently wrote a book with <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/josephlowndes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Joseph Lowndes</a>, who is also on the Professor Watchlist. The book, titled “<a href="https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/producers-parasites-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Producers, Parasites, Patriots: Race and the New Right-Wing Politics of Precarity</a>,” discusses white supremacy in conservative politics. In the book, Dr. HoSang accuses conservatives of being racist and participating in “multiracial white supremacy.”

According to Dr. HoSang, white conservatives work to maintain their economic power while also highlighting and praising minority conservatives in an effort to portray the concept that they aren’t racist.

https://twitter.com/yale/status/1292782749611429888?lang=en

Dr. HoSang has also recently become involved in K-12 learning. He was one of the founders of an organization in Connecticut called the <a href="https://antiracistteaching.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racist Teaching and Learning Collective</a>, or ARTLC. The organization works with students and teachers alike to push anti-racism, and in turn, Critical Race Theory, in K-12 schools across Connecticut. In an article for the CT Mirror, Dr. HoSang alleges that “if we want to address racism in society at large, we have to address it in policing, and housing, and health care — but we also need to address it in the 3rd grade music classroom, in the 7th grade social studies classroom.”

https://twitter.com/AAPolicyForum/status/1415803068617220096

Dr. HoSang also leads workshops for K-12 teachers that perpetuate the ideals that racism runs deep in education and teaching across all subjects. He helps teachers create curriculum centered on anti-racism and Critical Race Theory.  In the summers of 2020 and 2021, Dr. HoSang was a core faculty member of the AAPF’s Critical Race Theory Summer School lecture series for teachers and scholars. The program’s purpose is to counter conservative and republican efforts to keep Critical Race Theory out of the classroom.

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

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

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

Vora defines abolitionist care as “an antidote to violence that demands a [commitment] to maintaining, repairing and attending survivors of violence while [fighting] capitalism’s anti-rationality [and] the materiality enforced by racial capitalism.”

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

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

A 2023 revised version of the <a href="https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/cbpp18st.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. Department of Justice document</a> entitled “Contacts Between Police and the Public, 2018–Statistics Tables” shows that out of 61.5 million American residents who had contact with police that “whites (26%) were more likely than blacks (21%), Hispanics (19%), or persons of other races (20%) to experience police contact.” 

Although the statistics show that “a higher percentage of blacks (4%) and Hispanics (3%) than whites (2%) experience threats or use of force,” a <a href="https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/topic-pages/tables/table-43" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2019 FBI report</a> reveals black people commit higher rates of murder/manslaughter and robbery. These are daunting demographics considering black people make up <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/fact-sheet/facts-about-the-us-black-population/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">14% of the total population</a> in the United States (depending on the source of information).

Solomon contributed an <a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/01/abolition-isn-t-a-relic-of-our-past-it-s-the-key-to-revitalising-democracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion editorial</a> to the World Economic Forum entitled “‘Abolition’ isn’t a relic of our past. It’s the key to revitalizing democracy.” He opened by asking, “Are you an abolitionist?” and lists flashpoints of history where the term was used to fight slavery (e.g. Emancipation Proclamation, Abraham Lincoln). He proceeded to write:

“Abolition, however, is not a relic of history. It is an ongoing movement to rethink the systems that produce inequity and build a society that values the lives of the most vulnerable. It permeates almost every issue that the World Economic Forum includes on its <a href="https://www.weforum.org/events/the-davos-agenda-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021 Agenda</a>, from COVID-19 to tax policy.”

He further encouraged readers to take on a mindset of “abolition democracy,” the term coined by radical activist and NAACP co-founder, <a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/society/web-du-bois-black-reconstruction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">W.E.B. Du Bois</a>. Solomon <a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/01/abolition-isn-t-a-relic-of-our-past-it-s-the-key-to-revitalising-democracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>:
“In my own work as the CEO and Co-Founder of the Center for Policing Equity, that means fundamentally reimagining public safety … It means measuring justice along with crime, and aligning our mechanisms of public safety with the values of the communities — particularly communities that have historically faced discrimination and disinvestment.”
“Charity alone, kindness from those who have benefitted most from institutions that marginalize the vulnerable, cannot lead us to justice. Abolition democracy, the working of rebuilding our systems with equity at their core, just might be able to.”

“So, if you are going through a situation where you have family members or you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you, that are against your livelihood, then it’s completely fine to not be around those people, and to tell them why.”

Dr. <a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carol Anderson</a> is the <a href="http://aas.emory.edu/home/people/bios/anderson-carol.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charles Howard Candler Professor and Chair of African American Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.emory.edu/home/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emory University</a> in Atlanta, Georgia. She has ascribed the passage of the Second Amendment to white supremacy, and accused conservatives of trying to make America a “whites only” nation.
Dr. Anderson is the author of, “<a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/the-second" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America</a>.” The book alleges the true purpose of the Second Amendment is the denial of rights to African Americans.
In a subsequent interview with CNN, Dr. Anderson claims the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/30/us/second-amendment-guns-anti-black-anderson-blake/index.html?utm_term=link&amp;utm_source=twCNN&amp;utm_content=2021-06-01T03%3A42%3A56&amp;utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">intention of the right to keep and bear arms was ultimately to empower militias to keep black Americans, “under the boot” of white supremacy</a>. At one point, she claims the second amendment is about “anti-blackness”, or antithetical to the well-being and rights of African-Americans:
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-large wp-image-1574 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-14T175033.334-e1631667053699-1024x356.png" alt="" width="580" height="202" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-14T175033.334-e1631667053699-1024x356.png 1024w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-14T175033.334-e1631667053699-300x104.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-14T175033.334-e1631667053699-768x267.png 768w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-14T175033.334-e1631667053699-1200x417.png 1200w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-14T175033.334-e1631667053699.png 1299w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" />
She further states that America’s gun culture is fueled by a “fear” of black people and that “anti-blackness” courses through our nation&#8217;s history.
Dr. Anderson first rose to national prominence in 2014 for her Washington Post article attributing the Ferguson Riots to “white rage.”
The unrest stemmed from an altercation involving Michael Brown and police officer Darren Wilson. Brown had been pulled over by Wilson over suspicion of his involvement in a strong-arm robbery in a nearby convenience store. During the stop, witnesses testified that <a href="https://nypost.com/2014/08/19/witnesses-say-ferguson-teen-attacked-cop-before-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brown attempted to grab Officer Wilson’s gun</a> before turning and running away. When ordered to halt, Brown turned and charged Officer Wilson, who then fatally shot Brown in self-defense.
Although Wilson was later exonerated for his actions,<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hands-up-dont-shoot-makes-wapos-list-of-outlandish-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Black Lives Matter activists promoted the false narrative that Brown was shot with his hands up while attempting to surrender.</a> After a grand jury declined to indict Officer Wilson, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2850383/A-town-ravaged-anger-pictures-extent-damage-buildings-Ferguson.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rioters and looters burned stores and restaurants across the city of Ferguson</a>, Missouri.
In the piece, Dr. Anderson <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ferguson-wasnt-black-rage-against-copsit-was-white-rage-against-progress/2014/08/29/3055e3f4-2d75-11e4-bb9b-997ae96fad33_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">insinuates that riots are effective as the only method that residents of Ferguson can utilize to make their voices be heard.</a> Stating the “real rage” is represented in the attempts by conservative movements and police to disenfranchise African-Americans.

The article was later expanded into the book, “<a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/white-rage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Rage, The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide</a>.” When Emory University featured the book on their website, Dr. Anderson further defined white rage as, “<a href="https://news.emory.edu/stories/2016/05/upress_white_rage_anderson/campus.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">policymakers and a series of courts systematically undercut the advancement of African Americans</a>.” Dr. Anderson would go on to author an article for Time Magazine accusing “patriots” who are afflicted with &#8220;white rage&#8221; 0f <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170421064019/https://time.com/4573307/donald-trump-white-rage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trying to make America a “whites only” county</a> and attempting to revive a “Jim Crow nation.”

The Professor Watchlist received an exclusive message in which Roxana Chicas—Assistant Professor from Emory University—asks students not to capitalize the word “white” when describing white Americans, but to capitalize the word “Black” when referring to black Americans. 

The announcement was posted on a message board for her Public Health and Nursing course as advice for acceptable writing. Chicas states that capitalizing the “B” conveys a shared racial and ethnic identity among the “African diaspora”: 
“I encourage you to capitalize the “B” when referring to the Black population. Black in a racial, ethnic, or cultural sense, conveys an essential and shared sense of history, identity, and community among people who identify as Black, including those in the African diaspora and within Africa.” 
Chicas then writes that whites do not share the same history or culture as black Americans.  She then alleges that capitalizing the “w” when referring to white people would legitimize white supremacy:
“I encourage you to not capitalizing [sic] the “w” when referring to the white population because white people generally do not share the same history and culture, or the experience of being discriminated against because of skin color. Furthermore, capitalizing the term white, as is done by white supremacists, risks subtly conveying legitimacy to such beliefs.”
Chicas further advocates against using the term “nonwhite” as it “centers whiteness”:
“I encourage you to not describe people of color with the term “Non-white races.” A designation like “nonwhite” is often criticized because it makes white people a kind of neutral default from which other people might deviate. In other words, it centers whiteness.”
The full message can be viewed below:

&nbsp;

According to her<a href="https://www.nursing.emory.edu/faculty-staff/roxana-chicas#Section-6"> university profile,</a> Chicas is an award-winning scientist who has been featured in national publications. Her family <a href="https://www.iamanimmigrant.com/stories/roxana-chicas/">immigrated illegally to the United States</a> when Chicas was 4-years old, but she has since received a <a href="https://www.ajc.com/lifestyles/health/meet-roxana-chicas-immigrant-nurse-scientist/0kqpZo4GjDVil4KOpCD5LO/">green card via her marriage</a>.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Chicas for comment but has not received a reply by publication.

Dr. Abeer AbouYabis is a physician at Emory Winship Cancer Institute and an assistant professor at the Emory School of Medicine. According to her professional biography, AbouYabis specializes in “the treatment of hematologic disorders and malignancies.”

In October 2023, Dr. AbouYabis was <a href="https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/emory-physician-placed-on-leave-due-to-alleged-antisemitic-remarks-on-social-media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">placed on leave</a> pending an investigation by the university after she posted antisemitic comments on her social media profiles. After Israel was attacked by the terrorist group Hamas in October 2023, AbouYabis attended a pro-Palestinian rally with the Emory University group Students for Justice in Palestine and <a href="https://twitter.com/StopAntisemites/status/1714098926637257049" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted on her social media</a>:

Dr. AbouYabis referenced the <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/10/07/hamas-terrorists-paraglide-into-israeli-territory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas paragliders who attacked civilians</a> at an Israeli music festival saying, “They got walls we got gliders glory to all resistance fighters.”

Her social media profiles have since been made private and her university profile has been removed. Dr. AbouYabis told <a href="https://www.ajc.com/education/emory-professor-placed-on-leave-after-antisemitic-comments/VUP5H42T2BGH5IU7FWWLX2R7BU/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Atlanta Journal-Constitution</a> that she finds it difficult to respond to being placed on leave because she is unsure which comments led to the decision. She also said she has never advocated or endorsed “any kind of violence.”

Laura Diamond, a spokesperson for Emory University, released the following statement to <a href="https://www.ajc.com/education/emory-professor-placed-on-leave-after-antisemitic-comments/VUP5H42T2BGH5IU7FWWLX2R7BU/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Post</a>:
“We condemn such comments in the strongest possible terms and have immediately placed this individual on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.”
“As we navigate difficult conversations, our expectation is that all members of the Emory community continue to demonstrate empathy and treat each other with dignity and respect. There is no place in our community for language and behavior based in hatred, that incites violence, and that is counter to the values that unite us as educators and health practitioners.”

Fresno State University

<a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/socialsciences/historydept/faculty/faculty-lmaischak.html">Lars Maischak</a> is a lecturer in the Department of History at <a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/">California State University, Fresno</a>. According to his university <a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/socialsciences/historydept/faculty/faculty-lmaischak.html">biography</a>, Maischak teaches the courses, Colonial Americas, American History to 1877, England and Empire, United States 1789-1865, and Topics in History - Marx and Hegel for Historians. Maischak uses his personal Twitter account to call for the execution of the 45th President, Donald Trump, and refers to conservatives as fascists.

Maischak claims that fascism is the eventual result of capitalism in a paper titled, <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h6fiDilfQWGpUrKEh2zzCrBo_iOUHA8C/view">There can be no Democracy without Socialism</a>, shared on Google Drive. Describing fascism as the “creature of capitalism,” Maischak claims that capitalism facilitates the exploitation of workers, or what he describes as the establishment of a “dictatorship of capital over labor."

Maischak further <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h6fiDilfQWGpUrKEh2zzCrBo_iOUHA8C/view">cites</a> the territorial expansion, slave labor, and the outlawing of unions in Nazi Germany as examples of capitalism’s logical end. He later describes the liberties inherent in capitalism as the freedom to commit mass murder and barbarism.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1321 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-04-22T164305.081-e1619135018830-1024x456.png" alt="" width="580" height="258" />

Maischak called for the assassination of then-President Donald Trump via hanging in now-deleted tweets on his personal Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/LMaischak">account</a> in February of 2017.

<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170409043955if_/https://twitter.com/LarsMaischak/status/833443673220145152"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1313" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-22-at-3.00.24-PM.png" alt="" width="400" height="175" /></a>

According to a <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/04/07/professor-trump-must-hang-republicans-should-be-executed-for-each-immigrant-deported/">Daily Caller </a>report, Maischak additionally calls for an “ethnic cleansing” of Republicans.

“#TheResistance #ethniccleansing Justice = The execution of two Republicans for each deported immigrant.” - Lars Maischak

Once Maischak’s tweets were published by outlets like the <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/04/07/professor-trump-must-hang-republicans-should-be-executed-for-each-immigrant-deported/">Daily Caller</a> and <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/local/2017/04/13/fresno-state-fbi-secret-service-probing-history-instructor-over-trump-must-hang-tweet/">Breitbart</a>, Maischak offered an initial apology for his remarks. In a written statement to the <a href="https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article144293174.html">Fresno Bee</a>, Maischak asks for forgiveness and states, “It was never my intent to harm anyone, nor to encourage others to harm anyone.”

According to <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/08/07/after-anti-trump-tweets-fresno-state-removes-adjunct-professor-teaching-position">Inside Higher Ed</a>, Maischak’s classes were canceled by the university before he was later removed from his position following his remarks about President Trump. However, as of March 2021, Fresno State University still <a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/socialsciences/historydept/faculty/faculty-lmaischak.html">lists</a> Maischak as a Lecturer in the History department. In addition, his personal Twitter account still <a href="https://twitter.com/LMaischak">contains</a> tweets calling for former president Donald Trump to be hanged, and tweets referring to conservatives as “fascists” that must face “repression” that have not been removed or recanted.

<a href="https://twitter.com/LMaischak/status/1346926703105359872"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1314" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-22-at-3.06.25-PM.png" alt="" width="450" height="248" /></a>

Following initial coverage of Maischak’s remarks in 2017, the Fresno Bee <a href="https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article144293174.html">reports</a> that University President, Joseph Castro, stated in a conference call with reporters that he was cooperating with an investigation of Maischak by the Secret Service, Homeland Security, and the FBI. Following this statement, Fresno Bee also <a href="https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article144293174.html">reported</a> that Maischak then accused President Castro of allowing himself to be used by a “right-wing smear machine” for cooperating with the investigation.

The Professor Watchlist team reached out to Maischak for comment but has not received a reply by the time of publication.

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 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.

Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

<a href="https://www.slu.edu/arts-and-sciences/bioethics/faculty/braswell-harold.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harold Braswell, Ph.D.</a> is an Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Programs in Health Care Ethics at Saint Louis University. According to his university profile, his research interests include bioethics, medical anthropology, history of medicine, disability studies, and medical humanities.
In November 2021, Braswell signed a <a href="https://unewsonline.com/2021/11/faculty-statement-of-solidarity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Faculty and Staff Statement of Solidarity”</a> in response to a campus event featuring Matt Walsh. The event was titled “Why The Pro-Life Movement is Center Stage in the Culture War.” According to the letter, Walsh publicly expressed that he would change the title of the talk to, “What Is A Woman? How The Trans Agenda Erases Women And Denies Reality?”
The letter says Walsh is known “for making degrading statements about LGBTQ+ identities” and claims “child-birth should not determine a person’s gender identity nor should it delegitimize their womanhood.” The statement concludes:
“We want to be clear &#8211; Matt Walsh’s viewpoints, rhetoric, and tactics do not represent the perspective of the undersigned SLU faculty and staff … We want to use the power of our position to affirm transgender and nonbinary students, in particular &#8211; we see you, you matter to us, we care for you and we hear your concerns.” 
According to the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/st-louis-university-student-faces-suspension-or-expulsion-for-advertising-matt-walsh-lecture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Examiner</a>, the Matt Walsh event did take place but was held off campus after university officials refused to provide a venue.
In September 2020, Braswell also participated in a movement known as #ScholarStrike. The event—originally planned as a walk-out on SLU’s campus—turned into a teach-in where students and faculty gathered near the SLU clock tower <a href="https://unewsonline.com/2020/09/scholar-strike-on-slus-campus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to raise awareness and educate on the topics of racism and inequality.</a>
According to The University News, Professor Braswell spoke at the event, discussing “his experiences, acknowledging the ways he has benefited from racism, and how racism can affect geriatric care in ways you may not expect.”

<a href="https://www.slu.edu/arts-and-sciences/bioethics/faculty/braswell-harold.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harold Braswell, Ph.D.</a> is an Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Programs in Health Care Ethics at Saint Louis University. According to his university profile, his research interests include bioethics, medical anthropology, history of medicine, disability studies, and medical humanities.

In November 2021, Braswell signed a <a href="https://unewsonline.com/2021/11/faculty-statement-of-solidarity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Faculty and Staff Statement of Solidarity”</a> in response to a campus event featuring Matt Walsh. The event was titled “Why The Pro-Life Movement is Center Stage in the Culture War.” According to the letter, Walsh publicly expressed that he would change the title of the talk to, “What Is A Woman? How The Trans Agenda Erases Women And Denies Reality?”

The letter says Walsh is known “for making degrading statements about LGBTQ+ identities” and claims “child-birth should not determine a person’s gender identity nor should it delegitimize their womanhood.” The statement concludes:
“We want to be clear - Matt Walsh’s viewpoints, rhetoric, and tactics do not represent the perspective of the undersigned SLU faculty and staff … We want to use the power of our position to affirm transgender and nonbinary students, in particular - we see you, you matter to us, we care for you and we hear your concerns.” 
According to the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/st-louis-university-student-faces-suspension-or-expulsion-for-advertising-matt-walsh-lecture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Examiner</a>, the Matt Walsh event did take place but was held off campus after university officials refused to provide a venue.

In September 2020, Braswell also participated in a movement known as #ScholarStrike. The event—originally planned as a walk-out on SLU’s campus—turned into a teach-in where students and faculty gathered near the SLU clock tower <a href="https://unewsonline.com/2020/09/scholar-strike-on-slus-campus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to raise awareness and educate on the topics of racism and inequality.</a>

According to The University News, Professor Braswell spoke at the event, discussing “his experiences, acknowledging the ways he has benefited from racism, and how racism can affect geriatric care in ways you may not expect.”

<a href="https://www.slu.edu/law/faculty/belinda-dantley.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Belinda Dantley</a> is a full-time faculty member and the Assistant Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the School of Law at Saint Louis University. According to her university biography, Dantley teaches Child Advocacy and is “dedicated to creating and fostering spaces for inclusive learning and diverse viewpoints.”

In February 2022, Dantley signed a “<a href="https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2.25.22%20-%20200+%20Black%20Women%20Law%20Professors%20Support%20for%20Jackson.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Strong Letter of Support from Black Women Law Professors for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson</a> to Serve as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.” The letter says “Throughout the history of the United States, laws have been created, enacted, interpreted, and enforced predominantly by white men.” The signers claim that “fairness, justice, and the Court’s legitimacy … are weakened when its justices neither look like the rest of the United States nor reflect the values of a segment of society.”

The letter also states:
“As more than 200 Black women law professors, we write to express our unequivocal support for the nomination and appointment of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson … We urge you to confirm her appointment to the Supreme Court of the United States without delay.” 
Ketanji Brown Jackson has a record of being lenient on child pornography cases. During her Supreme Court hearing, <a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/when-pressed-sen-hawley-her-lenient-record-judge-jackson-cant-respond" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senator Josh Hawley questioned Jackson</a> on a case (<a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/5057626/united-states-v-hawkins/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">United States v. Hawkins</a>) where she sentenced the defendant to three months in prison even though the probation officer recommended eighteen months. Hawley asked Jackson if she had anything to add about her decision, to which she responded “No, Senator.”

In November 2021, Dantley signed another letter titled <a href="https://unewsonline.com/2021/11/faculty-statement-of-solidarity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Faculty and Staff Statement of Solidarity”</a> in response to a campus event featuring Matt Walsh. The event was titled “Why The Pro-Life Movement is Center Stage in the Culture War.” According to the letter, Walsh publicly expressed that he would change the title of the talk to “What Is A Woman?

Kelli Alvarez is an <a href="https://www.ou.edu/cas/fyc/people/faculty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Assistant Teaching Professor</a> at the University of Oklahoma. Her areas of interest include race and ethnicity in literature and film as well as indigenous and other ethnic literature. Alvarez teaches freshman-level courses, including English Composition, where she requires all students to read a publication by Professor Watchlist identified <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/ibramxkendi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ibram X. Kendi</a> titled, “When Free Speech Becomes Unfree Speech.”

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1762" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-1.16.41-PM.png" alt="" width="456" height="211" />

When Alvarez isn’t teaching first-year composition courses, she is <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/07/classroom-censorship-comes-to-the-university-of-oklahoma/">leading workshops</a> for fellow teachers and professors on “anti-racist rhetoric &amp; pedagogies.” Over the summer of 2021, Alvarez led a classroom censorship workshop discussing how to “set an anti-racist tone” in the classroom and ultimately silence certain students. During the workshop, she discussed how particular students are emboldened to be overly racist in the classroom, both in-person and through their writing. She said that while some teachers may be afraid to tell students they can’t say something in class, teachers absolutely have the right to tell students to be quiet and stop talking.

&nbsp;

Alvarez goes on to claim that the Supreme Court ruled that hate speech is not protected by the U.S. Constitution. She states, “the Supreme Court has actually upheld that hate speech, derogatory speech, any of the -isms do not apply in the classroom because they do not foster a productive learning environment.”

According to <a href="https://www.freedomforuminstitute.org/about/faq/what-rights-to-freedom-of-expression-do-students-have/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Freedom Forum Institute</a>, The Supreme Court ruled in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969) that students “do not shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech and expression at the schoolhouse gate.”

Later in the lecture, Alvarez discusses a concept called “white institutional defensiveness,” which she describes as conditions that force non-white students to conform and assimilate to whiteness or else risk consequences. Alvarez asserts that not allowing non-white students to write in ABE style (Adult Basic Education) is racist and perpetuating white supremacy.

According to the Division of Adult and Career Education, ABE style is meant for native English-speakers with limited literacy, below a 9th grade level. The video of the entire workshop can be viewed <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byxl61VDYp8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.
