<a href="https://engineering.ucmerced.edu/content/abbas-ghassemi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abbas Ghassemi</a> is a Teaching Professor in the School of Engineering at the University of California-Merced. 
According to <a href="https://jweekly.com/2020/12/21/uc-merced-professor-deletes-antisemitism-laden-twitter-account/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Jewish News of California</a>, in June of 2023 Ghassemi tweeted, “… reality bites!!!!!!” accompanied by an image of “The Zionist Brain.”
“The Zionist Brain” image features several “anti-semitic tropes” conveyed through the image and areas of a human brain. (see image of tweet below).

According to Jewish News, this “same image can be found on a website called ‘Jew World Order,’ which peddles antisemitic conspiracy theories.” (Note: The Professor Watch List team was unable to locate this website.)
Jewish News also reported on Ghasemmi’s tweet following Joe Biden’s election to the U.S. Presidency:
“Surprise, surprise!! The entire system in America is controlled by [the] Zionist. Change of president is just a surface polish, change of veneer. Same trash different pile!”
In another tweet, Ghassemi stated, 
“[T]he Zionists and IsraHell interest have embedded themselves in every component of the American system, media, banking, policy, commerce … just a veneer of serving US interest and population — everyone pretends that is the case.”
When Jewish News sent a request for comment to Ghassemi regarding his social media commentary, his Twitter account was deleted. 
A UC-Merced spokesperson distanced the university from Ghassemi’s antisemitic tweets: 
“As the now-inactive Twitter account made clear, these were the opinions of a private individual, not the positions of the institution.”
As of October 2023, Ghassemi remains employed as a faculty member at UC Merced despite his previous anti-semitic commentary on Twitter.

Rosemarie Bongers is a self-proclaimed mathematician, educator, and “transgender woman” (a biological male who identifies as female) at the University of California-Merced. On his <a href="https://sites.ucmerced.edu/rosemarie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faculty profile</a>, Bongers includes “she/her or they/them” and images of various LGBTQ+ flags.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3880" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot-2024-11-19-at-3.24.45 PM.png" alt="" width="219" height="487" />

In September 2024, Bongers <a href="https://www.ams.org/journals/notices/202408/rnoti-p1034.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> a journal article titled “Transitioning as an Early-Career Mathematician.” Bongers starts by telling readers how he “majored in mathematics and physics where [he] fell in love with the abstraction and patterns that gave [him] a sense of universal truth.” Bongers quickly moves on to inform his audience about his decision to “transition” his gender.

“For me, being transgender is a source of joy and the deepest happiness that I’ve felt; it’s also a source of struggle, challenge, discrimination, and emotional labor. This identity and awareness permeate every aspect of my life, my career, and my living in American society in 2024.”

Bongers explained “transgender” terminology and how “important” it is to use preferred names and pronouns.

<img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3881" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/pwl-1-e1732055339684-1024x752.png" alt="" width="640" height="470" />

The remainder of the article discussed Bongers’ “coming out” story, his struggle to grow up like a “normal” boy, and his medical castration procedure which he claimed to have “no regrets.” 

<img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3882" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/pwl-2-e1732055434229-1024x738.png" alt="" width="640" height="461" />

According to the Women’s Leadership Initiative <a href="https://lerner.udel.edu/centers/womens-leadership-initiative/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, the organization “envisions a world where gender equity advances opportunities for all” and their stated mission is to “advance gender equity in leadership.”

Jaipreet Virdi is an Associate Professor at the University of Delaware. <a href="https://www.history.udel.edu/people/faculty/jvirdi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Her university profile says</a> she’s “a historian of medicine, technology and disability.” Her research and teaching interests include disability history and material/visual culture studies.

Virdi linked her struggles of growing up with a disability to U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman’s debate performances. Virdi reacted to the public's response in a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/made-by-history/2022/11/04/john-fetterman-eugenics-stroke-fitness/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Post op-ed</a>. She stated,

“[W]hile some saw Fetterman's halting speech and need for closed captioning as evidence of cognitive impairment, the conversation surrounding his fitness is premised on bias ableism. The polished, articulate and groomed image we associate with the ideal politician…is actually rooted in eugenics.”

She further contended,

“Eugenics simply applied a scientific gloss to exiting race, class and gender prejudices…The eugenic impulse created perceptions about what kind of traits were ‘desirable’ — intelligence, health, appearance and success — and therefore who should reproduce to propagate normal or superior traits, and who shouldn’t.”

In 2020, Virdi <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Hearing_Happiness/boBMyAEACAAJ?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published “Hearing Happiness: Deafness Cures in History”</a> — a nonfiction novel retelling the story of losing her hearing to bacterial meningitis at four years old. In <a href="https://youtu.be/BJWhpB0jMR0">an interview discussing the book</a>, Virdi said,

“Speech is always used as a marker of normality, it’s the expectation that if a deaf person can manage speech, then they can pass as hearing. No one’s going to really notice them. I can’t tell you how many times people have said to me, ‘You speak really well for a deaf person.’”

“What do we expect any citizen in society to do to uphold the standards of normality, like what does a normal citizen look like? In many cases, you know, it’s someone who is able-bodied, godly in many cases, self-sufficient and hearing. Hearing is this marker of normality because we believe that anything that deviates from that is abnormal.” 

Her course <a href="https://www.history.udel.edu/Documents%20Bios%20CVs/faculty/syllabus/virdi/Virdi_HIST%20337%20Health%20Activism_Spring2020.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Healthy Bodies: Citizenship, Medicine &amp; Social Activism</a> explores the history of health activism in American history. The learning outcomes state that the course “is designed for [students] to gain knowledge of the history of health activism and the different ways that grassroots participation, citizen activism, and popular mobilization have tied healthcare to social justice.”

Gender and Sexuality Studies Professor <a href="https://english.princeton.edu/people/anne-mcclintock">Anne McClintock</a> is one of 19 professors to form Princeton’s first Faculty for Justice in Palestine group. McClintock joined a list of signatories featured in an open letter published by <a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2023/11/princeton-opinion-opguest-faculty-for-justice-in-palestine-demand-free-speech-protection-divestment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Princetonian</a>. On November 29, 2023, the Princetonian posted the faculty statement, which included the following quote:
“In solidarity with the <a href="https://usacbi.org/faculty-for-justice-in-palestine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">[US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel]</a> call for faculty action in defense of students who are currently under attack from university administrators, other student groups, and outside actors for their Palestine solidarity work … we hereby declare the founding of the Princeton Faculty for Justice in Palestine (FJP).
“We rise in coalition with the students, scholars, and people of conscience resisting the forces currently deployed to silence, mischaracterize, and criminalize dissent on college campuses and beyond … A culture of intimidation, silencing, and punishment is now moving across the United States and around the world.”
McClintock and the FJP further declared “support for those in Palestine who have called for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS).” The letter ends with a call for an “end to Israeli occupation and apartheid and for a free Palestine.”
Please send information on Anne McClintock to <a href="mailto:Watchlists@tpusa.com">Watchlists@tpusa.com</a>.

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

Princeton Bioethics Professor Peter Singer made headlines after sharing his views on sex acts with animals. On November 8, 2023, Singer shared what he called a “thought-provoking article” titled “<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mOOHWhgfENSAz-Bl7kQb9fPHHzRqh9Dm/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zoophilia Is Morally Permissible</a>.” Singer said that “[the article] challenges one of society's strongest taboos and argues for the moral permissibility of some forms of sexual contact between humans and animals.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Another thought-provoking article is "Zoophilia Is Morally Permissible" by Fira Bensto (pseudonym), which is just out in the current issue of <a href="https://twitter.com/JConIdeas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JConIdeas</a>.
This piece challenges one of society's strongest taboos and argues for the moral permissibility of some forms of sexual… <a href="https://t.co/32fIaJEJ1J">pic.twitter.com/32fIaJEJ1J</a>

— Peter Singer (@PeterSinger) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterSinger/status/1722440246972018857?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 9, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The article Singer referred to states that “[s]ex with animals is a powerful social taboo that exposes its practitioners to utmost indignation and stigma.” The piece also claims, “Many people who have sex with animals do not strictly speaking have a zoophilic orientation, but use animals as surrogates for human sex partners.”
The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/11/11/lifestyle/princeton-professor-ignites-outrage-by-calling-journal-article-about-sex-with-animals-thought-provoking-someone-check-his-hard-drive/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> that Singer followed up his original post with an essay on Facebook where he clarified:
“I didn’t write the article on the permissibility of zoophilia [but] I am a co-editor for that journal.

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

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

According to her University biography, Dr. Taylor is a scholar of racial inequity in public policymaking, and writes “extensively” about race, politics, and “radical activism.”

As a Professor and political commentator, Dr. Taylor offers her opinion across a wide variety of social media platforms and media outlets. She is known to condemn capitalism, the United States, and Israel while lauding socialism and the Soviet Union.

On her personal <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter account</a>, Dr. Taylor smears Israel as a racial, apartheid state that actively commits genocide against Arabs in the Middle East. In one tweet, she alleges that Israel is attempting to “annihilate” Palestine:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
The consequence of apartheid is not separation, it’s annihilation. End the occupation, free Palestine <a href="https://t.co/2jUOpL3oBq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/2jUOpL3oBq</a>
— Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor (@KeeangaYamahtta) <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta/status/1392287946653503490?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May 12, 2021</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

In another post, she flagrantly alleges that Israel is engaged in the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and Gaza, despite the <a href="https://www.camera.org/article/methodist-staffer-demonizes-israel-reveals-ignorance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resident Arab population quadrupling since 1948</a>,
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
What we are witnessing is not the “eviction” of Palestinians from their homes. This is ethnic cleansing. This is the most basic expression of settler colonialism. This is the illegal and immoral expulsion of Palestinians with the expectation they are “accepted” elsewhere. <a href="https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Dr. Taylor likewise alleges the United States is a brutally racist and oppressive society. In an article for the Marxist publication, Jacobin,<a href="https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/05/reparations-slavery-racism-united-states-foundation" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> she depicts racism as foundational to the United States</a>.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1846" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-19T122121.004-e1637349803441-1024x363.png" alt="" width="500" height="177" />

A frequent critic of policing, which she views as systemic racism embedded in the United States, Dr. Taylor lauds the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as a “liberation struggle.” With communist, vice-presidential candidate, and Black Panther Party member, <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angeladavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angela Davis</a>, writing the forward, Dr. Taylor’s book—<a href="https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1646-from-blacklivesmatter-to-black-liberation-expanded-second-edition">From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation</a>—she praises the movement for having “awakened a new generation of activists” that will fight for “black liberation.”

BLM was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder. After a jury acquitted Zimmerman in 2013, <a href="https://patrissecullors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrice Cullors</a> joined with <a href="https://aliciagarza.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alicia Garza</a> and <a href="https://www.opaltometi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Opal Tometi</a> to found an organization, <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as stated on its website</a>.

“....whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes.” 

BLM came to further prominence following the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/gunshots-looting-after-grand-jury-in-ferguson-case-does-not-indict-officer-in-michael-brown-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">riots in Ferguson, Missouri</a> in reaction to the acquittal of police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of robbery suspect, Michael Brown. Although later determined that Brown had attacked the officer, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hands-up-dont-shoot-makes-wapos-list-of-outlandish-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BLM was instrumental in spreading the lie</a> that Brown was shot at point-blank range with his hands raised.

In an interview with the progressive news outlet, DemocracyNow, in June of 2020, Dr. Taylor praises the BLM movement’s fight against systemic racism, stating that our nation is witnessing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMOG-W_X9m8&amp;ab_channel=DemocracyNow%21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an “uprising” against “racial terrorism” being inflicted upon black Americans by police officers</a>.

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

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

&nbsp;

Despite her praise, the Bolshevik Revolution and the resulting formation of the Soviet Union cost millions of lives. Upon overthrowing the Russian government in October 1917, Vladimir Lenin immediately set up <a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=lenin%27s+red+terror&amp;atb=v263-1&amp;ia=web" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a series of concentration camps for political prisoners and led the Soviet secret police in a brutal crackdown</a> known as the “Red Terror.” As many as one million people perished before the carnage ended with the cessation of the Russian Civil War in 1921. Over the course of the USSR's existence, as <a href="https://fee.org/articles/the-staggering-toll-of-the-russian-revolution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">many as 60 million people perished under Soviet rule</a>.

In recognition of her work, Dr. Taylor was <a href="https://aas.princeton.edu/news/2021-macarthur-fellow-keeanga-yamahtta-taylor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">awarded a MacArthur Foundation “Genius” Award</a> in 2021.

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

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

Professor Benjamin is the author of several publications including a book titled “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Race_After_Technology/G6-hDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code</a>.” The book explores how “emerging technologies can reinforce White supremacy and deepen social inequity.”

The introduction contains a section called Race as Technology where she states that technology is “designed to separate, stratify, and sanctify the many forms of injustice experienced by members of racialized groups, but one that people routinely reimagine and redeploy to other ends.”

In a <a href="https://youtu.be/rY8RkET3KC0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video discussing her reasons for writing</a> “Race After Technology,” Benjamin gave an example of how technology is racist. She said, “Two friends [were] using an automated soap dispenser and the soap wouldn’t come out [for] the individual with darker skin because darker skin absorbs light. So if it’s infrared technology, it’s not going to work as effectively.”

Professor Benjamin <a href="https://youtu.be/_8RrX4hjCr0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">also gave a Ted Talk</a> where she used laboratory and park benches to discuss how “the idea of discriminatory design is a global phenomenon.” She also says, “I think at the heart of discriminatory design is this idea that we can create technological fixes for social crises…we create short-term responses that often get the issues out of sight, out of mind.”

Salamon was quoted stating that she aimed to “carefully study the misrecognition at the heart of the case and how gender identity was misread as sexual identity.”

“In solidarity with the <a href="https://usacbi.org/faculty-for-justice-in-palestine/">[US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel]</a> call for faculty action in defense of students who are currently under attack from university administrators, other students, and outside actors for their Palestine solidarity work…we hereby declare the founding of the Princeton Faculty for Justice in Palestine (FJP).”
“We rise in coalition with the students, scholars, and people of conscience resisting the forces currently deployed to silence, mischaracterize, and criminalize dissent on college campuses and beyond…A culture of intimidation, silencing, and punishment is now moving across the United States and around the world.”
Salamon and the FJP further declared “support for those in Palestine who have called for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS)...” The letter ends with a call for an “end to Israeli occupation and apartheid and for a free Palestine…”

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

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

An Islamist terrorist group, Hamas’s charter calls for the <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews:</a>
“Israel will rise and will remain erect until Islam eliminates it as it had eliminated its predecessors.” - Hamas Charter
The organization is known to <a href="https://palwatch.org/page/18217" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deploy suicide bombers</a> and <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/05/prelude-to-war-palestinian-terrorists-fire-hundreds-of-rockets-at-israel-from-and-to-civilian-areas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fire rockets</a> that target civilian areas; Hamas is responsible for the deaths of <a href="https://www.fdd.org/in_the_news/2021/05/26/faq-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thousands of Israelis and at least 25 Americans</a>. 

Despite his views, Dr. Falk was chosen by the United Nations to serve as the Special Rapporteur on Palestinian Human Rights. From this position, he accused Israel of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in a report titled,”<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170316054753/https://www.unescwa.org/sites/www.unescwa.org/files/publications/files/israeli-practices-palestinian-people-apartheid-occupation-english.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Israeli Practices toward the Palestinian People and the Question of Apartheid.</a>” 

The report maligns Israel as a “racial state” that pursues “racial domination” and forcible displacement of the Palestinians. Falk recommends that Israel be investigated by the International Criminal Court and that international governments hold unilateral trials for Israeli officials. 

He urges businesses to boycott the state as part of the BDS campaign. BDS—short for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions—embraces the following three tenets as a feature of the campaign: 

- Boycotting all goods that originate from the state of Israel;

- Divesting all funds (private or public) that are allocated to Israel; and

- Placing sanctions exclusively on Israel. 

Following the publication of the document, Dr. Falk doubled down on his stance in an interview with The Forward, further calling for the <a href="https://forward.com/news/breaking-news/164986/richard-falk-calls-for-corporate-israel-boycott/#ixzz2APbfkSvl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boycott of any company</a> that does business in Israel:
“My main recommendation is that the businesses highlighted in the report – as well as the many other businesses that are profiting from the Israeli settlement enterprise – should be boycotted until they bring their operations into line with international human rights and humanitarian law and standards.” 
Elsewhere, Dr. Falk has <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2017/07/un-anti-israel-bias-richard-falk-pro-iran-9-11-truther-investigates-jewish-state/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disputed that Al-Qaeda is solely responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks</a>. In an interview on the site, Truth Jihad, he endorsed the idea the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/politics/special-rapporteur-for-911-truth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highjackings might have been a false-flag operation</a>. He further authored a blog post, “<a href="https://richardfalk.org/2013/04/19/a-commentary-on-the-marathon-murders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Commentary on the Marathon Murders</a>,” that blamed the Boston Bombings on the foreign policy of DC and Tel Aviv. 

Due to his views, Dr. Falk was <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2008/dec/19/israel-palestinian-territories-united-nations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned from Israel in 2008</a>. Although officially retired from teaching, he still holds the position of professor emeritus at Princeton.

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

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

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

</ul>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Independently minded…”</li>
</ul>
In the opening paragraph of Atchison’s 2020 blog entry “<a href="https://gabrieljatchison.wordpress.com/2020/11/22/the-folly-of-hope/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Folly of Hope</a>,” she declared,


“Trump exposed all our fault lines due to systemic racism, class exploitation and greed. His initial election and very close re-election should act as a clarion call for us to enact sweeping and lasting social change…”

“Trump has no agenda, but his Puppet Masters do…This election exposed in a raw and unrelenting way, how many people in positions of power feel like people of color simply do not have the right to vote.”

Atchison goes on to identify herself as a “progressive [who finds] Joe Biden significantly inadequate for the task at hand.” She disagrees with any approach Biden may have to unite the nation and she believes the Democratic Party passed up “so many better qualified presidential candidates, with creative ideas…to elect a man whose platform is centrist and apolog[ist].”

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

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

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

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

According to the <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/israeli-minister-asks-princeton-to-remove-antisemitic-propaganda-from-course/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Review</a>, “The International Legal Forum, an Israel-based non-profit, criticized the decision to include [Puar’s] book in the course curriculum” and the “Israeli Minister and the International Legal Forum called for removing the book from the course.”

The Review also said, “Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, called for canceling the course and terminating [Larson].”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Princeton University is not only sanctioning hate speech, but establishing fertile ground for a new generation of antisemitic thought leaders. I am calling on Princeton University to cancel the course in question immediately, fire its professor, Satyel Larson, and issue a public…

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

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

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

“We, Princeton University faculty and staff, affirm our solidarity with and support for the Columbia University and Barnard College students who are continuing to demand that the university divest from Israel’s genocide in Gaza and ongoing occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and other Palestinian land.” 
The signatories have committed to boycotting Columbia University and Barnard College until several demands are met, including:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We call upon the Columbia University administration to reinstate those students who were wrongfully suspended for exercising their constitutionally recognized right to speech and peaceful assembly.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We demand that all charges be dismissed and expunged from their student records, and that all rights and privileges be restored to them immediately.”</li>

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

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

<a href="https://www.columbia.edu/~dbl11/selfintro.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Lurie</a> is President of the Barnard and Columbia chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and an Associate Professor of Japanese History and Literature at Columbia University.

Lurie participated in a Columbia University and Barnard College <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/23/over-100-faculty-members-protest-in-rally-to-support-our-students-and-reclaim-our-university/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faculty protest</a> titled “Rally to Support our Students and Reclaim our University” after student protesters took over the lawns of Columbia University in April 2024. The <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/23/us-news/columbia-professors-slammed-over-grotesque-rally-that-publicly-backed-ivy-league-schools-anti-israel-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> reported, “Scores of professors and staff appeared on the school’s steps to support the right of the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’ to take over campus space and denounce the administration’s decision to have protesters arrested.” 

Lurie spoke at the walkout in opposition to the disciplinary actions brought against student protesters:
“We demand that all Barnard College and Columbia University suspensions and charges be dismissed immediately and expunged from students’ records.”
Lurie told the <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/23/aaup-drafts-resolution-of-censure-against-shafik-administration-following-nypd-sweep/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbia Spectator</a> that the AAUP disapproved of Shafik’s response to the protesters and said:
“We want to be really clear that we are not calling for her resignation at this time. We want to work with her. We want her and her administration to turn back from the road that they’ve started down last week, and we’re really eager to partner with them in doing that.”
In a <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wLVMV9z_HGanmpN-9b84Iket-d5VM9VT/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a> issued by the AAUP, titled “Resolution of Censure,” the following criticism was stated of Shafik and her view of the pro-Palestine protests:
“President Shafik falsely claimed that the students who were arrested for protesting on April 18 posed a ‘clear and present danger to the substantial functioning of the University,’ when in fact they ‘were peaceful, offered no resistance whatsoever, and were saying what they wanted to say in a peaceful manner,’ according to the NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell. Her actions have endangered these students’ welfare, and her draconian and disproportionate punishments have endangered their futures.”
Lurie and the AAUP <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bnEhCa6mR7t_82QUf_qpGT7acudoOMIw/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">maintain</a> that Shafik’s termination is not what they desire in their latest press release:
“Unwarranted statements by members of Congress, including calls for President Shafik’s resignation, undermine the traditions of shared governance and academic freedom that have long ensured America’s educational greatness.”

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

<a href="https://wgss.osu.edu/people/lindsey.268" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Treva Lindsey</a> is an Associate Professor in the <a href="https://wgss.osu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.osu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Ohio State University.</a> According to her university bio, Dr. Lindsay specializes in areas such as African American Women’s History, black feminism, critical race, and gender theory, among other sexual politics.
Dr. Lindsay frequently writes and is invited to lecture about sexual assault prevention on college campuses. In a video of a lecture at Portland State University, Dr. Lindsay can be heard <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZugy4C-Udg&amp;ab_channel=PortlandStateUniversity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggesting rehabilitating those who’ve committed sexual assault by teaching them to unlearn their “toxic masculinity” and innate homophobia</a>.

Dr. Treva Lindsay frequently writes for a number of prominent publications—such as <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2015/9/5/race-in-the-us-herstory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Al Jazeera</a>, <a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/author/14721/treva-lindsey/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cosmopolitan</a>, and <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/27/opinions/r-kelly-conviction-black-women-and-girls-lindsey/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>— accusing the United States of being systematically racist and calling for the abolishment of policing. She additionally praises the BLM movement for its alleged efforts to combat systemic racism.
Black Lives Matter (BLM,) as an organization, was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder. After a jury acquitted Zimmerman in 2013, <a href="https://patrissecullors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrice Cullors</a> joined with <a href="https://aliciagarza.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alicia Garza</a> and <a href="https://www.opaltometi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Opal Tometi</a> to found the organization. BLM’s mission is to “eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes.”
In an article for Complex, Dr. Lindsay praises BLM and its umbrella organization, the Movement for Black Lives, for their <a href="https://www.complex.com/life/2017/02/black-history-month-five-years-after-trayvon-martin-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">role in awakening Americans to the reality of “anti-black racism</a>.” In the same article, she alleges that “millions” of black Americans have been victims of systemic racism for hundreds of years, and still are today.
In a separate article for NBC News, Dr. Lindsay decries the  passage of Juneteenth, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/juneteenth-honors-black-emancipation-hope-equality-federal-holiday-doesn-t-ncna1271356" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describing it as trivial and merely a “symbolic gesture.</a>” A bill to make Juneteenth—a holiday <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/abolition-of-slavery-announced-in-texas-juneteenth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrating the announcement that slavery had ended in Texas</a>— a national holiday was passed with the <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-signs-bill-making-juneteenth-a-federal-holiday/ar-AAL92UE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bipartisan support of both houses</a> before it was signed into law in June of 2020.
Nonetheless, Dr. Lindsay writes that she can’t help but feel “contempt” towards white people for their support, critiquing the holiday as inadequate to combat “sanctioned white supremacy.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Referencing an August 2020 incident, a <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/law-and-order/2021/04/20/graphic-video-columbus-police-release-bodycam-video-of-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbus, Ohio police officer was called over a domestic dispute involving Bryant</a>. When the officer arrived, Bryant was at the center of a fight with several other girls. Bryant then drew a knife and the responding officer ordered her to drop the weapon. Bryant then lunged at another girl with the knife, causing the officer to shoot and fatally wound her.
Despite <a href="https://twitter.com/shanermurph/status/1384703749046915074?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1384703749046915074%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.breitbart.com%2Flaw-and-order%2F2021%2F04%2F20%2Fgraphic-video-columbus-police-release-bodycam-video-of-shooting%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">evidence from the body-cam exonerating his actions</a>, Dr. Lindsay still alleges the incident is further proof of systemic racism and brutality directed specifically at black Americans. In an article for the site Truthout, she describes the officer’s actions—along with anyone who would defend them—<a href="https://truthout.org/articles/we-are-fighting-for-a-world-where-makhia-bryant-would-have-lived/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as the normalization of police violence and “erasing the long and inglorious history” of police violence against black people</a>. Dr. Lindsay further states that Bryant should still be alive while calling for the defunding and eventual abolishment of police.
“Police do not make us safer. Police do not make Black children safer. Not at school. Not on university campuses. Not at home. As the body camera footage shows, police escalate. The killing of Ma’Khia is yet another painful reminder of why a growing number of people are focusing their energies on building alternatives to policing and demanding that we defund the police. It’s a reminder why so many people are agitating to remove the police from our homes, communities, and schools — and eventually abolish policing altogether.”
Despite her defense of Byrant, Dr. Lindsay holds a paradoxical stance on the police shooting of Ashli Babbitt. In a separate article for Bitch Media, Dr. Lindsay <a href="https://www.bitchmedia.org/article/not-applying-say-her-name-to-white-supremacists" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defends the actions of the Capitol Officer who shot Babbitt</a>. Describing her as a white supremacist—and providing no evidence—who took part in an insurrection alongside a “lynch mob.”
Dr. Lindsay is referring to the January 6th Capitol Hill Riots, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/02/09/965472049/the-capitol-siege-the-arrested-and-their-stories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in which a number of protestors breached the Capitol’s Doors during certification of the 2020 Presidential Election</a>. Despite claims to the contrary, even the FBI has determined that <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/fbi-confirms-there-was-no-insurrection-on-january-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no evidence exists that any rioters coordinated to commit an “insurrection.</a>” Ashli Babbitt was shot by Officer Michael Byrd as she attempted to climb through the broken window of a closed door. A review by the DC Metropolitan Police<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/documents-ashli-babbitt-death-foia-capitol-police" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> confirmed that Babbitt was unarmed when shot</a>.

The Ohio State University

<a href="http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/faculty/professor/joshua-dressler/">Joshua Dressler</a> is a Distinguished University Professor and the Frank R. Strong Chair in Law at The Ohio State University.  Dressler told his students that Ted Cruz’s comments to Donald Trump were anti-Semitic. Dressler claimed that Cruz’s infamous “New York values” statement was directed toward Jewish people in a negative way.

<a href="https://history.osu.edu/people/jeffries.57" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries</a> is an associate professor of history at <a href="https://www.osu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ohio State University</a>. According to his university profile, his areas of expertise include the following:

- African-American History

- US History since 1877

- Human Conflict, Peace, and Diplomacy,

- Power, Culture, and the State,

- Race, Ethnicity, and Nation

Dr. Hasan Kwame is an adherent to critical race theory and frequently defends the field in his lectures and speeches. In addition, he advises local high schools and school districts on how to teach critical theory to students.

On his personal Twitter account, Dr. Jeffries <a href="https://twitter.com/ProfJeffries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">frequently characterizes conservatives as white nationalists, supremacists and other epithets</a>. In one tweet, he lashes out at South Carolina Senator Tim Scott—currently the sole black Republican in the United States Senate—as the “blackface” of white supremacy.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

&nbsp;

In other lectures, Dr. Jeffries portrays America as a systemically racist nation. He thus defends critical race theory as necessary to understand oppression and the history of racism in the United States.

As <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro writes</a> for Breitbart News, critical race theory—also referred to as “critical theory”—is an intellectual branch of Marxism that views America and all of its institutions as being infected with white supremacy—to the point of some, including <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claiming</a> America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England.

In a speech for <a href="https://www.cityclub.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The City Club of Cleveland</a>, Dr. Jeffries <a href="https://www.cityclub.org/forums/2021/08/20/misunderstanding-critical-race-theory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lauds critical race theory as necessary to understand that racism is “systemic, deeply embedded, and produces racial inequality in our society</a>.” At one point while addressing the accusation that critical race theory brands all white people as racist, Dr. Jeffries retorts that while all white people are not born racist, all white people born in America are, in fact, racist.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Jeffries-White-people-born-in-America-are-racist.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

He further characterizes any opposition to critical race theory as a “racial reckoning” used to whip up conservative voters as “racism is the greatest organizing force” in American history. While denying that critical race theory is taught in American schools, he nonetheless advocates for students to learn it.

In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Dr. Jeffries conducts training for local school districts in Ohio. In one lesson plan for <a href="https://www.olentangy.k12.oh.us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Olentangy Local School District </a>obtained by the Professor Watchlist team, Dr. Jeffries advises teachers on how to teach critical theory and social justice movements to their students.

In Section One—titled, “Confronting Hard History: Teaching and Talking About Race and Racism in K-12 Classrooms,”—Dr. Jeffries addresses the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and instructs teachers to incorporate the movement’s tenets into their lesson plans.

According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Federalist</a> found, “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

Despite the destruction, Dr. Jeffries lauds the protests for seeking justice for systemic racism. He urges educators to incorporate this into their lesson plans when teaching about BLM. He further endorses explicitly discussing race and racial issues in the classroom as not doing so— or what Dr. Jeffries defines it as the “color-blind trap”— seeks to “erase” the experiences of people of color.

In part two of the training, Dr. Jeffries instructs teachers that America was founded in the year 1619 rather than 1776. He states that it is vital to understand the nation was founded on the double-helix of racism and capitalism.

Dr. Nikole Hannah Jones likewise <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims</a> that America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England. <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Though now retracted for numerous false claims</a>, the documents have now been <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added to the curriculum of 4,500 schools across the country</a>.

To read more on Dr. Nikole Hannah Jones, users can <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones">view her profile on the Professor Watchlist</a>.

Dr. Jones further states that it is vital to teach children how racism is encoded into the Constitution and our founding documents, as well as to regard founding fathers like James Madison as virulent racists.

Throughout each lecture, Dr. Jeffries stresses the importance of teaching about the lingering effects of racism to students today.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Jeffries for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

<a href="https://wgss.osu.edu/people/lindsey.268" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Treva Lindsey</a> is an Associate Professor in the <a href="https://wgss.osu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.osu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Ohio State University.</a> According to her university bio, Dr. Lindsay specializes in areas such as African American Women’s History, black feminism, critical race, and gender theory, among other sexual politics.

Dr. Lindsay frequently writes and is invited to lecture about sexual assault prevention on college campuses. In a video of a lecture at Portland State University, Dr. Lindsay can be heard <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZugy4C-Udg&amp;ab_channel=PortlandStateUniversity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggesting rehabilitating those who’ve committed sexual assault by teaching them to unlearn their “toxic masculinity” and innate homophobia</a>.

&nbsp;

Dr. Treva Lindsay frequently writes for a number of prominent publications—such as <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2015/9/5/race-in-the-us-herstory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Al Jazeera</a>, <a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/author/14721/treva-lindsey/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cosmopolitan</a>, and <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/27/opinions/r-kelly-conviction-black-women-and-girls-lindsey/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>— accusing the United States of being systematically racist and calling for the abolishment of policing. She additionally praises the BLM movement for its alleged efforts to combat systemic racism.

Black Lives Matter (BLM,) as an organization, was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder. After a jury acquitted Zimmerman in 2013, <a href="https://patrissecullors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrice Cullors</a> joined with <a href="https://aliciagarza.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alicia Garza</a> and <a href="https://www.opaltometi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Opal Tometi</a> to found the organization. BLM’s mission is to “eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes.”

In an article for Complex, Dr. Lindsay praises BLM and its umbrella organization, the Movement for Black Lives, for their <a href="https://www.complex.com/life/2017/02/black-history-month-five-years-after-trayvon-martin-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">role in awakening Americans to the reality of “anti-black racism</a>.” In the same article, she alleges that “millions” of black Americans have been victims of systemic racism for hundreds of years, and still are today.

In a separate article for NBC News, Dr. Lindsay decries the  passage of Juneteenth, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/juneteenth-honors-black-emancipation-hope-equality-federal-holiday-doesn-t-ncna1271356" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describing it as trivial and merely a “symbolic gesture.</a>” A bill to make Juneteenth—a holiday <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/abolition-of-slavery-announced-in-texas-juneteenth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrating the announcement that slavery had ended in Texas</a>— a national holiday was passed with the <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-signs-bill-making-juneteenth-a-federal-holiday/ar-AAL92UE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bipartisan support of both houses</a> before it was signed into law in June of 2020.

Nonetheless, Dr. Lindsay writes that she can’t help but feel “contempt” towards white people for their support, critiquing the holiday as inadequate to combat “sanctioned white supremacy.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Referencing an August 2020 incident, a <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/law-and-order/2021/04/20/graphic-video-columbus-police-release-bodycam-video-of-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbus, Ohio police officer was called over a domestic dispute involving Bryant</a>. When the officer arrived, Bryant was at the center of a fight with several other girls. Bryant then drew a knife and the responding officer ordered her to drop the weapon. Bryant then lunged at another girl with the knife, causing the officer to shoot and fatally wound her.

Despite <a href="https://twitter.com/shanermurph/status/1384703749046915074?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1384703749046915074%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.breitbart.com%2Flaw-and-order%2F2021%2F04%2F20%2Fgraphic-video-columbus-police-release-bodycam-video-of-shooting%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">evidence from the body-cam exonerating his actions</a>, Dr. Lindsay still alleges the incident is further proof of systemic racism and brutality directed specifically at black Americans. In an article for the site Truthout, she describes the officer’s actions—along with anyone who would defend them—<a href="https://truthout.org/articles/we-are-fighting-for-a-world-where-makhia-bryant-would-have-lived/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as the normalization of police violence and “erasing the long and inglorious history” of police violence against black people</a>. Dr. Lindsay further states that Bryant should still be alive while calling for the defunding and eventual abolishment of police.

“Police do not make us safer. Police do not make Black children safer. Not at school. Not on university campuses. Not at home. As the body camera footage shows, police escalate. The killing of Ma’Khia is yet another painful reminder of why a growing number of people are focusing their energies on building alternatives to policing and demanding that we defund the police. It’s a reminder why so many people are agitating to remove the police from our homes, communities, and schools — and eventually abolish policing altogether.”

Despite her defense of Byrant, Dr. Lindsay holds a paradoxical stance on the police shooting of Ashli Babbitt. In a separate article for Bitch Media, Dr. Lindsay <a href="https://www.bitchmedia.org/article/not-applying-say-her-name-to-white-supremacists" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defends the actions of the Capitol Officer who shot Babbitt</a>. Describing her as a white supremacist—and providing no evidence—who took part in an insurrection alongside a “lynch mob.”

Dr. Lindsay is referring to the January 6th Capitol Hill Riots, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/02/09/965472049/the-capitol-siege-the-arrested-and-their-stories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in which a number of protestors breached the Capitol’s Doors during certification of the 2020 Presidential Election</a>. Despite claims to the contrary, even the FBI has determined that <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/fbi-confirms-there-was-no-insurrection-on-january-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no evidence exists that any rioters coordinated to commit an “insurrection.</a>” Ashli Babbitt was shot by Officer Michael Byrd as she attempted to climb through the broken window of a closed door. A review by the DC Metropolitan Police<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/documents-ashli-babbitt-death-foia-capitol-police" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> confirmed that Babbitt was unarmed when shot</a>.

<a href="https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/find-a-doctor/profiles/scott-f-leibowitz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Scott Leibowitz</a> is an <a href="https://medicine.osu.edu/departments/psychiatry-and-behavioral-health/our-people/our-faculty-h-n" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associate Professor</a> in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. Dr. Leibowitz is also the Medical Director for Behavioral Health at the THRIVE Gender and Sex Development Program at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

According to the THRIVE <a href="https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/specialties/thrive-program/gender-development" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, “Our behavioral health providers serve patients and families who are seeking gender affirming medical treatment or when gender identity development plays a significant role in their emotional and social wellbeing.”

In June 2021, Dr. Leibowitz and Co-Medical Director of the THRIVE Gender Development Program Dr. Gayathri Chelvakumar, wrote an op-ed for <a href="https://www.dispatch.com/story/opinion/columns/guest/2021/06/23/gayathri-chelvakumar-and-scott-leibowitz-bills-increase-stigma-isolation-many-transgender-youth-fee/5297432001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Columbus Dispatch</a> in response to the “national wave of anti-transgender legislation.”

They write, “As healers, we follow ethical guidelines to deliver evidence-informed treatment options that are acknowledged and well-recognized by the academic and professional societies we belong to.” They argue “the last thing that transgender youth need are lawmakers restricting their athletic participation or eliminating important beneficial medical options for them.”

Dr. Leibowitz and Dr. Chelvakumar conclude the article by saying, “We urge our lawmakers to listen to the voices of the transgender youth and families, and those who provide care to them every day and abandon this harmful attempt to further alienate LGBTQ youth.”

Dr. Leibowitz also shared his thoughts about the legislation on Twitter:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Even the mere introduction of these discriminatory legislative efforts- regardless of their ultimate success- sends a message to trans and gender diverse young people that they are “other”- and that is unacceptable. Support <a href="https://twitter.com/EqualityOhio?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@EqualityOhio</a> and protect trans youth. <a href="https://t.co/XYsUanjh6R" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/XYsUanjh6R</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

In March 2023, Dr. Leibowitz—along with dozens of other professors—signed a “<a href="https://www.gamcstatement.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement Regarding Laws Restricting Gender Affirming Medical Care</a>.” The statement focuses on two key points:
“First, there is consensus in the field, and amongst these signatories, that gender affirming medical care is important and beneficial for many transgender youth. Second, we do not support laws restricting access to gender affirmative care.” 
The signatories conclude their <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=21908" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>:
“We write this letter to make our position on this crystal clear: The signatories below all believe, based on the current evidence, that gender affirmative care is an important part of many transgender adolescents’ overall care, and that states and health systems should not restrict access to that care.” 
Dr. Leibowitz is also a <a href="https://www.wpath.org/member/514" target="_blank" rel="noopener">member</a> of the <a href="https://www.wpath.org/about/mission-and-vision" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH)</a>. The organization, which is funded primarily through its members, says its mission is “to promote evidence based care, education, research, public policy, and respect in transgender health.”

WPATH has a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement that reads, in part:
“WPATH affirms its commitment to diversity and inclusion as principles that enrich individuals, and society as a whole. We strive to learn from diverse perspectives, and through inclusivity, we pay homage to the fundamental principles of dignity, equality, equity, justice, and fairness.” 
In addition:
“WPATH encourages our members to champion these principles as well, and to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in their work, workplaces, and everyday lives.”

<a href="https://english.osu.edu/people/jani.4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pranav Jani</a> is an Assistant Professor of English at Ohio State University. According to his university profile, Jani is a “longtime social justice activist” who specializes in “South Asia and the South Asian diaspora, Marxist theories of nationalism and colonialism, and the intertwined legacies of colonialism, settler colonialism and slavery.”

After Hamas terrorists attacked Israel in October 2023, Jani wrote an article titled “<a href="https://pranavjani.medium.com/finding-the-courage-to-speak-93c4dbf94fb9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Finding the Courage to Speak</a>,” where he said:
“Today, political and social forces bear down on us and tell us not to speak against the genocidal war in Gaza - using the terrible death of Israeli civilians as a way to keep our mouths shut about Palestinian civilian deaths, expulsion, and starvation, today and for 75 years.” 
He then encouraged his readers to “stand up against injustice” and “speak out to the best of our ability.”

Jani acts as the faculty advisor for Ohio State’s chapter of <a href="https://activities.osu.edu/involvement/student_organizations/find_a_student_org?i=1422&amp;l=C&amp;page=6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Students for Justice in Palestine</a>. According to the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/its-not-just-students-meet-the-professors-leading-the-academic-embrace-of-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Free Beacon</a>, the group held a “day of resistance” rally where organizers defended Hamas terrorism and condemned Israel’s “apartheid system.” The group also issued a statement defending Hamas’s “right to resist” and denounced “Israel’s continued settler colonial violent murder of Palestinians.”

Jani has been a vocal supporter of the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement. In 2016, he penned an article titled, “<a href="https://mlaboycott.wordpress.com/2016/09/22/pranav-janis-statement-in-support-of-a-boycott-of-israeli-academic-institutions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement in Support of a Boycott of Israeli Academic Institutions</a>,” where he wrote:
“When you join the boycott of Israel you are responding to a call from Palestinian civil society and saying that no, we, as part of a global community that is committed to human rights, will not be silent while atrocities under a military colonial occupation go on month after month, year after year … If you refuse to see this line, you are also taking a stand: for the status quo. You are free to do so, of course. But then please don’t speak to me about your anti-racism.” 
Jani is also an <a href="https://medium.com/age-of-awareness/the-backlash-against-racial-justice-education-recent-talks-interviews-and-writing-faa2bac2f05c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advocate for critical race theory</a>. In an article titled “The Backlash Against Racial Justice Education: Recent Talks, Interviews, and Writing,” he alleges that CRT has become a “catch-all term for challenging racial justice and social justice education.” He writes:
“Under the cover of fighting ‘left-wing indoctrination,’ the White Right goes after all of the gains that educators have made in challenging curricula based on erasing racism, sexism, and oppression in U.S. history and society…”
“...Right-wing media and politicians have created a false narrative about Critical Race Theory, a field in legal studies, as their latest attempt to suppress honest dialogue and policy about diversity, equity, and inclusion in education - particularly as it relates to the topics of racism, slavery, and colonialism.” 
Jani has also called on people to “<a href="https://medium.com/age-of-awareness/organize-and-mobilize-fight-ohio-sb-83-524eac3048d0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">organize and mobilize</a>” against Ohio Senate Bill 83. According to <a href="https://www.dispatch.com/story/opinion/columns/2023/03/16/why-should-ohio-senate-bill-83-be-stopped-what-efforts-underway-ohio-state-university-free-speach/70014225007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Columbus Dispatch</a>, Senate Bill 83 would include, among other things, “an end to diversity training mandates, a ban on partnerships with Chinese universities, and mandatory American history courses.”

He believes the bill is an “attempt to roll back the changes in K-12 and higher education, and in society at large, that have taken place since the 1960s.” He attributes this to the “Donald Trump/Ron DeSantis era” which he claims is a “deep backlash against Black rebellion against police violence, trans visibility, growing unionization efforts, DEI programs, and other signs that many sections of U.S. society want to take on both structural oppression and its daily manifestations.”

<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 decoding="async" loading="lazy" 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" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.56.54-PM.png 534w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.56.54-PM-300x179.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" />
&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 decoding="async" loading="lazy" 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" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.52.29-PM.png 534w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.52.29-PM-300x179.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" />
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" 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" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.01-PM.png 534w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.01-PM-300x179.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" />
&nbsp;
Dr. Reitman notes that it&#8217;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 decoding="async" loading="lazy" 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" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.48-PM.png 534w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.48-PM-300x179.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" />
&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 decoding="async" loading="lazy" 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" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.55.04-PM.png 534w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.55.04-PM-300x179.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" />
&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.

Georgetown University

<a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/00336000014Re4cAAC/christine-fair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christine Fair</a> is an Associate Professor in the Security Studies Program at Georgetown University. 

Fair was the subject of a <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7dAQe1s5ZVka3hXLURodG1WQkU/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">complaint</a> filed by a colleague for “harassment, abuse, hate, and cyberbullying.”  After <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4069936/Georgetown-prof-C-Christine-Fair-went-meltdown-Muslim-ex-colleague-Asra-Q-Nomani-admitted-voting-Donald-Trump.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Asra Nomani</a>, who is Muslim, said she voted for Trump because of her problems with Obamacare, Fair went on a month-long rant against Nomani, including calling her various insulting names in her native Urdu, claiming Nomani had “pimped” herself out, as well as saying "F*** you."

Fair is also known for her vulgar and carnal tweets directed at conservatives. During the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the fall of 2018, Fair <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=11369" target="_blank" rel="noopener">launched</a> into a racially tinged tirade on her <a href="https://twitter.com/CChristineFair?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> account, accusing Republicans of enabling a rapist and calling for their castration in a series of tweets, 
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">“Look at thus(sic) chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist’s arrogant entitlement."</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">”all of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps."</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">“Bonus: we castrate their corpse and feed them to swine? Yes.”</li>
</ul>
ANTI-LAW ENFORCEMENT

In 2018, Fair was <a href="https://thehoya.com/news/georgetown-professor-accused-calling-german-officer-nazi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in The Hoya article </a>“Georgetown Professor Accused of Calling German Officer a ‘Nazi.’” 

The publication explained, “The alleged confrontation occurred after an airport security agent pulled Fair aside and summoned a German police officer, as required by law after an X-ray machine at a security checkpoint indicated her luggage might contain explosives.”

It turns out the substances found in Fair’s bags — cosmetics and roll-on deodorant — had exceeded the amount permitted by law enforcement. The Hoya said, “After the police suggested Fair store a roll-on deodorant in her carry-on bag, the police report states Fair reacted aggressively and called the police ‘f–king bastards’ and ‘f–king Nazi police.’”

The Hoya recorded Fair’s response:
“‘The whole thing was a straight-up shakedown. At the end of the day, this officer just did not want a customer service complaint. If I were a white guy, this wouldn’t be happening to me. For example, the cop called me a hippie. Why am I of all people derided as a hippie?’”
Despite corroborating witness statements cited in the police report — as well as accusations that Fair said another passenger had a “Hitler Youth haircut” — Fair denied all allegations. 

After being detained by German police, the report said Fair was fined $260 in legal fees.

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.”

<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.

&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.

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.

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

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/stephanie-mcnulty.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephanie McNulty</a> is the Honorable and Mrs. John C. Kunkel Professor of Government at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. McNulty’s university profile states she is a “Latin Americanist with expertise in participatory governance, gender, decentralization, and development.”

In March 2021, McNulty co-authored an <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2021/03/12/colleges-must-acknowledge-challenges-facing-female-academics-who-juggle-work-and#.YHTMhYqX9L4.link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> about the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on equity. The authors put forth the following goal to resolve what they deem to be the lessening of diversity and equity caused by COVID-19:
“For starters, every institution must acknowledge the problem and openly address what can appear invisible and ignored to those of us living in this reality. The academy risks emerging from this pandemic with less diversity and gender equity than before unless we change course. The first step is initiating a conversation and listening. Once people have a space to talk openly about their challenges, a lot of problem solving and solutions naturally emerge.”\
McNulty was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”

Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them.

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

Liz Cheney is a <a href="https://news.virginia.edu/content/liz-cheney-serve-professor-practice-uva-center-politics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of Practice</a> at the University of Virginia. She is also the daughter of former Vice-President Dick Cheney (2001-2008). 
Cheney’s most controversial moments have come as one of the members of the January 6th Select Committee. Formed to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/30/politics/republicans-january-6-select-committee-vote/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investigate the Capitol protests of January 2021</a>, Cheney and the committee sought to portray the mostly peaceful protests <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/06/09/liz-cheney-jan-6-committee-full-statement-00038730" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as a directed attack on the Capitol and even democracy itself</a>. 
As Vice-Chair, Cheney had exclusive access to over forty-thousand hours of footage and still photos from the riots and wielded immense subpoena power. 
When former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon defied the committee&#8217;s subpoena, <a href="https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2021/1015/Bannon-defies-Jan.-6-subpoena-cites-Trump-executive-privilege" target="_blank" rel="noopener">citing executive privilege</a>, Cheney voted to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211026010223/https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/21/politics/house-republicans-vote-yes-steve-bannon-contempt-of-congress/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hold him in contempt of Congress</a>. While appeals are still ongoing, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/steve-bannons-prison-sentence-delayed-appeal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bannon could face four months in jail</a>. 
When Peter Navarro—Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy under President Trump—defied the committee&#8217;s subpoenas, Cheney <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/04/06/house-votes-scavino-navarro-contempt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted to hold him in Contempt of Congress</a> and referred Navarro to the Department of Justice for prosecution. Navarro was allegedly <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/06/03/report-peter-navarro-handcuffed-at-airport-and-frogmarched-to-the-courthouse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dragged off a plane by FBI agents</a> at the time of his arrest and “frog marched” into a jail cell where he <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/courts/with-no-legal-representation-navarro-pleads-for-extension-in-contempt-of-congress-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spent 24 hours without legal counsel or communications</a>. 
After 41,000 hours of <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/media/3866648-mccarthy-gives-fox-news-tucker-carlson-access-to-jan-6-capitol-surveillance-footage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Capitol footage was released to Tucker Carlson</a>, Cheney and the other committee members were scrutinized for selectively editing and withholding key evidence. Upon review, Tucker Carlson’s team determined that <a href="https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2023/03/08/too-bad-to-check-did-the-j6-committee-add-sound-effects-to-surveillance-videos-n535600" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sound effects were added to the footage</a> to make the protest seem more chaotic and violent. 
In one brief clip released by Cheney and the January 6th Committee, Senator Josh Hawley appears to be <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9kUmwRDjyI&amp;ab_channel=NBCNews" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fleeing the protests that Committee members accused him of instigating</a>. The full footage <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2023/03/06/tucker_carlson_january_6th_committee_lied_about_josh_hawley_running_away.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">withheld by the Committee</a> reveals dozens of congressmen were evacuated by the capitol police, and Hawley was jogging behind. 
While prominent officials claimed that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was murdered by protestors, released footage shows Sicknick—whose death was later determined to be caused by stroke—<a href="https://nypost.com/2023/03/06/footage-shows-capitol-cop-brian-sicknick-uninjured-on-jan-6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unharmed and directing protestors in the Capitol</a>. Electric bookmarks indicate Vice-Chair Cheney’s and the Committee reviewed the footage but <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/tucker-carlson-releases-exclusive-jan-6-footage-says-politicians-media-lied-about-sicknick-qanon-shaman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chose not to release it. </a>
 As Vice-President of the Committee, Cheney had access to the exculpatory footage of Jacob Chansley—nicknamed the “Q-Shaman”— but refused to release it. Chansley was <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/17/qanon-shaman-jacob-chansley-sentence-522807" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested and pled guilty to obstructing an official proceeding</a>. He is currently serving up to 41 months in prison. The footage shows Chansley being <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/tucker-carlson-releases-exclusive-jan-6-footage-says-politicians-media-lied-about-sicknick-qanon-shaman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">led around the capitol by police, who even opened doors for him</a>. Chansley’s lawyer claims the footage was <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/former-lawyer-qanon-shaman-says-jan-6-footage-wasnt-shown-client-calls-prison-sentence-tragedy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">withheld from the defense</a>. He had not even seen the footage until it was released after the trial concluded. 
Despite Cheney’s relentless pursuit of defendants, critics have noted her reluctance to subpoena Ray Epps, who is infamous for telling <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S66NWcSccwE&amp;ab_channel=ForbesBreakingNews" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protestors to “go into Capitol”</a>, and was present among the rioters who first breached the barricades.  
Despite his actions, Cheney has vocally defended Epps. When pressed by a student at the University of Chicago why the “insurrectionist” Epps hadn’t been arrested, the Vice-Chair <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/congress/liz-cheney-asked-about-prosecuting-ray-epps-jan-6-role-says-doj-makes-decision" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denounced the inquiry as a “conspiracy theory.”</a> 
Epps has long been <a href="https://www.revolver.news/2021/10/meet-ray-epps-the-fed-protected-provocateur-who-appears-to-have-led-the-very-first-1-6-attack-on-the-u-s-capitol/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspected of being a federal informant</a>, in part for remaining free despite being filmed agitating protestors to commit violence at the Capitol. <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-tucker-carlson-reveals-ray-epps-lied-in-sworn-testimony-to-jan-6-committee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Epps lied under oath about his whereabouts on January 6th</a>, but Cheney and the Committee made no attempts to refer Epps for prosecution. 
Cheney’s initial foray into politics came in 2013 when she primaried Wyoming Senator Mike Enzi. She spent most of her childhood and adult life outside of the state and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220519222115/https://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/17/us/politics/liz-cheney-to-challenge-senator-michael-enzi-of-wyoming.html">only moved to Jackson Hole in 2012</a>. Media outlets deemed Cheney a “<a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/onpolitics/2013/07/22/cheney-senate-wyoming-enzi-carpetbagger/2575197/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">carpetbagger</a>” after her campaign announcement <a href="https://theintercept.com/2021/05/12/liz-cheney-republican-house-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">geotagged her location in Virginia</a>, her primary residence at the time.    
Although eventually withdrawing, Cheney <a href="https://rollcall.com/2016/11/08/liz-cheney-wins-wyoming-house-seat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">successfully ran for Wyoming’s Lone House Seat in 2016</a>, where she served from 2016-2022 before <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/16/wyoming-alaska-primary-results-2022-00052216" target="_blank" rel="noopener">losing the primary by nearly 40 points</a> to challenger Harriet Hageman. 
While in Congress, Cheney took no public salary. Despite this, her personal wealth<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/08/11/records-liz-cheneys-net-worth-ballooned-much-600-percent-during-her-time-office/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> ballooned by over 600%</a>. Entering office with roughly $7 million dollars in assets, Cheney left six years later with an estimated net worth of $44 million. 
Much of Cheney’s <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/personal-finances/liz-cheney/net-worth?cid=N00035504" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wealth is tied to her stake in the law firm Latham &amp; Watkins</a>. Her husband, <a href="https://www.lw.com/people/PhilipJPerry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philip J. Perry</a>, has served as a partner since she first took office.

<a href="https://gened.as.virginia.edu/walsh">David Austin Walsh</a> is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia. His academic work centers on alleging active links between the far-right and conservatism over the past two centuries. Walsh <a href="https://gened.as.virginia.edu/egmt-1530-hateinnany-fascism-antifascism-and-global-far-right">teaches a course titled</a> Hateinnany: Fascism, Antifascism, and the Global Far Right.

In an attempt to tie far-right extremism to mainstream conservatism, Walsh has penned various articles attempting to connect mainstream conservatism with mass shootings. Writing for Arc Digital, he describes the <a href="https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/2019/08/05/el-paso-shooting-victim-list-names-identified-walmart-tx-texas/1918691001/">El Paso shooter’s</a> violent and bigoted ideology as <a href="https://arcdigital.media/the-el-paso-shooter-and-donald-trump-share-the-same-politics-so-why-doesnt-the-media-say-so-aff5062c26b1">identical to widely-held conservative stances</a>.

He then continued,

<a href="http://bostonreview.net/race-politics/david-walsh-fragile-patriotism-american-conservative">Expressing further disgust for conservatives</a>, he praised the 1619 Project—<a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/10/new-york-times-1619-project-distorts-history-of-slavery/">a demagogic and racially-laden</a> polemic published by the New York Times—in an article for the Boston Review. He described conservative opposition to the largely erroneous articles as being rooted in racial bigotry.

David holds extreme contempt at even the idea of a conservative presidency. <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=16097">He has tweeted </a>calls to overthrow the President of the United States and to purge conservative voters in a hypothetical “de-Nazification,” similar to Germany post-WW2.

As a professor that has taken it upon himself to teach his students about politically right-of-center principles and individuals, it is concerning to see Walsh seamlessly intertwine conservatism with racial bigotry and extremism and then present it as mainstream amongst the right.

<a href="https://uvahealth.com/findadoctor/profile/christine-m-burt-solorzano" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christine M. Burt Solorzano</a> is a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the <a href="https://www.virginia.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Virginia</a> (UVA), who described performing gender transitions on children as young as 9 years old in.

The UVA-affiliated hospital that employs Solorzano lists <a href="https://childrens.uvahealth.com/services/transgender-youth-health" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a range of procedures available to “trans, nonbinary, intersex, and asexual” children as young as 11 years old</a>. The “Transgender Youth Health Services” advertised include:

- Education about sex and contraception.

- Referrals for therapy to help manage anxiety, depression, and ongoing emotional issues.

- Puberty blockers that delay sex-related physical changes.

- Help in finding resources in the community.

- Referrals for gender-affirming surgeries and voice therapy.

The clinic requires an official diagnosis of gender dysphoria by a medical professional and consent from a parent or guardian to treat minors. However, the hospital’s definition of dysphoria is subjective; a diagnosis may only require that “a child’s sense of their gender differs from the sex assigned to them at birth.” Parents are not even required to attend initial appointments with their children.

In a lecture uncovered by The Daily Caller, <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2022/10/03/university-of-virginia-youth-gender-clinic-offers-puberty-blockers-chemical-castration-referrals-minors-undergo-breast-removal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Solorzano discusses performing “irreversible” surgeries</a> as a part of a gender transition. While claiming that many are only offered to those over 18, she states that children as young as 16 years old may receive double mastectomies. A masectomy–or “top surgery”—removes an otherwise healthy teenager's breasts as part of the female-to-male transition.

&nbsp;

Further on, Dr. Solorzano discusses how she uses “cross-sex” hormones to block puberty in teens who transition. Acknowledging that while these drugs are not recommended for minors, she states that making a teen suffering from dysphoria undergo property is “cruel.” Dr. Solorzano believes that many teens are mature enough to make these “irreversible” decisions.

https://rumble.com/embed/v1jvz26/?pub=4

&nbsp;

Conceding that children must first begin puberty before treatment, Dr. Solorzano recalls consulting a 9-year-old girl on receiving hormones. She then claims that puberty blockers are temporary and puberty can be resumed at any time by stopping treatment.

https://rumble.com/embed/v1jvypy/?pub=4

&nbsp;

A common drug used to block puberty is called Lupron, which was <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designed to castrate sex offenders and is not approved by the FDA</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>

While available via Youtube for over eight years, the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzkf6OqNE2Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">university appears to have deleted Dr, Solorzano’s lecture following coverage by The Daily Caller as of publication.</a>

Stephanie Brennhofer’s <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-brennhofer-mph-ms-rdn-3345a87a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LinkedIn</a> profile describes her as a “senior data analyst and infectious disease epidemiologist in the Division of Infectious Diseases and International Health” at the University of Virginia. Brennhofer’s personal Twitter account characterizes her as the “<a href="https://twitter.com/sbrennhofer?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anti-diet dietitian</a>.” 
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2910" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Screenshot-2023-03-27-at-2.14.15-PM.png" alt="" width="592" height="296" />
In exclusive audio obtained by Campus Reform, Stephanie Brennhofer <a href="https://twitter.com/sbrennhofer?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">urges students to stop using the word “fat”</a> as it is “inherently fatphobic” and “reinforces that thin is good.” 

Her comments were delivered during a guest lecture—titled, “Diet Culture &amp; Weight Stigma”—in an “Exercise and Nutrition Medicine” course:
“The word ‘fat’ is inherently fatphobic because it signals to fat people, and really everybody uses that, right? So if you don’t want to use it, and use it, it’s bad, and it reinforces that thin is good and that’s not what we want to do.    
Brennhofer claims the term “fat” only indicates somebody’s body shape and “it’s not a negative descriptor:” 
“All fat does is describe somebody’s body shape and it’s not a negative descriptor. And so the body positivity community has really tried to like reclaim [fat] as their own. And its generally preferred over the medical terms of ‘overweight’ and ‘obese’ because those carry medical connotations.” 
Continuing, she urges the class to stop labeling foods “good or bad” and “guilting people” who eat them. Brennhofer claims that a person’s weight is based on their genetics and there is nothing dietitians can do to get their patients to lose weight;   
“So, you know, [there’s] a lot of myths. You know, this whole idea that weight is mainly biological, right? Is, like, that’s going to change our weight. Our body is just kind of at this point based on genetic factors. I mean, other things do play a role, but it’s mainly genetics.” 
Brennhofer tells students that it's “unethical” to tell patients how to lose weight because they have very little control over their size. She even claims there are negative health effects for patients that do lose weight:
“And the data that we have show [sic] that when people gain and lose mass amounts of weight, that actually increases the risk of other very serious health outcomes like cancer and cardiovascular disease.”

Liz Cheney is a <a href="https://news.virginia.edu/content/liz-cheney-serve-professor-practice-uva-center-politics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of Practice</a> at the University of Virginia. She is also the daughter of former Vice-President Dick Cheney (2001-2008). 

Cheney’s most controversial moments have come as one of the members of the January 6th Select Committee. Formed to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/30/politics/republicans-january-6-select-committee-vote/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investigate the Capitol protests of January 2021</a>, Cheney and the committee sought to portray the mostly peaceful protests <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/06/09/liz-cheney-jan-6-committee-full-statement-00038730" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as a directed attack on the Capitol and even democracy itself</a>. 

As Vice-Chair, Cheney had exclusive access to over forty-thousand hours of footage and still photos from the riots and wielded immense subpoena power. 

When former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon defied the committee's subpoena, <a href="https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2021/1015/Bannon-defies-Jan.-6-subpoena-cites-Trump-executive-privilege" target="_blank" rel="noopener">citing executive privilege</a>, Cheney voted to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211026010223/https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/21/politics/house-republicans-vote-yes-steve-bannon-contempt-of-congress/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hold him in contempt of Congress</a>. While appeals are still ongoing, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/steve-bannons-prison-sentence-delayed-appeal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bannon could face four months in jail</a>. 

When Peter Navarro—Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy under President Trump—defied the committee's subpoenas, Cheney <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/04/06/house-votes-scavino-navarro-contempt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted to hold him in Contempt of Congress</a> and referred Navarro to the Department of Justice for prosecution. Navarro was allegedly <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/06/03/report-peter-navarro-handcuffed-at-airport-and-frogmarched-to-the-courthouse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dragged off a plane by FBI agents</a> at the time of his arrest and “frog marched” into a jail cell where he <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/courts/with-no-legal-representation-navarro-pleads-for-extension-in-contempt-of-congress-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spent 24 hours without legal counsel or communications</a>. 

After 41,000 hours of <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/media/3866648-mccarthy-gives-fox-news-tucker-carlson-access-to-jan-6-capitol-surveillance-footage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Capitol footage was released to Tucker Carlson</a>, Cheney and the other committee members were scrutinized for selectively editing and withholding key evidence. Upon review, Tucker Carlson’s team determined that <a href="https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2023/03/08/too-bad-to-check-did-the-j6-committee-add-sound-effects-to-surveillance-videos-n535600" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sound effects were added to the footage</a> to make the protest seem more chaotic and violent. 

In one brief clip released by Cheney and the January 6th Committee, Senator Josh Hawley appears to be <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9kUmwRDjyI&amp;ab_channel=NBCNews" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fleeing the protests that Committee members accused him of instigating</a>. The full footage <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2023/03/06/tucker_carlson_january_6th_committee_lied_about_josh_hawley_running_away.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">withheld by the Committee</a> reveals dozens of congressmen were evacuated by the capitol police, and Hawley was jogging behind. 

While prominent officials claimed that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was murdered by protestors, released footage shows Sicknick—whose death was later determined to be caused by stroke—<a href="https://nypost.com/2023/03/06/footage-shows-capitol-cop-brian-sicknick-uninjured-on-jan-6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unharmed and directing protestors in the Capitol</a>. Electric bookmarks indicate Vice-Chair Cheney’s and the Committee reviewed the footage but <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/tucker-carlson-releases-exclusive-jan-6-footage-says-politicians-media-lied-about-sicknick-qanon-shaman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chose not to release it. </a>

 As Vice-President of the Committee, Cheney had access to the exculpatory footage of Jacob Chansley—nicknamed the “Q-Shaman”— but refused to release it. Chansley was <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/17/qanon-shaman-jacob-chansley-sentence-522807" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested and pled guilty to obstructing an official proceeding</a>. He is currently serving up to 41 months in prison. The footage shows Chansley being <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/tucker-carlson-releases-exclusive-jan-6-footage-says-politicians-media-lied-about-sicknick-qanon-shaman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">led around the capitol by police, who even opened doors for him</a>. Chansley’s lawyer claims the footage was <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/former-lawyer-qanon-shaman-says-jan-6-footage-wasnt-shown-client-calls-prison-sentence-tragedy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">withheld from the defense</a>. He had not even seen the footage until it was released after the trial concluded. 

Despite Cheney’s relentless pursuit of defendants, critics have noted her reluctance to subpoena Ray Epps, who is infamous for telling <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S66NWcSccwE&amp;ab_channel=ForbesBreakingNews" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protestors to “go into Capitol”</a>, and was present among the rioters who first breached the barricades.  

Despite his actions, Cheney has vocally defended Epps. When pressed by a student at the University of Chicago why the “insurrectionist” Epps hadn’t been arrested, the Vice-Chair <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/congress/liz-cheney-asked-about-prosecuting-ray-epps-jan-6-role-says-doj-makes-decision" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denounced the inquiry as a “conspiracy theory.”</a> 

Epps has long been <a href="https://www.revolver.news/2021/10/meet-ray-epps-the-fed-protected-provocateur-who-appears-to-have-led-the-very-first-1-6-attack-on-the-u-s-capitol/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspected of being a federal informant</a>, in part for remaining free despite being filmed agitating protestors to commit violence at the Capitol. <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-tucker-carlson-reveals-ray-epps-lied-in-sworn-testimony-to-jan-6-committee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Epps lied under oath about his whereabouts on January 6th</a>, but Cheney and the Committee made no attempts to refer Epps for prosecution. 

Cheney’s initial foray into politics came in 2013 when she primaried Wyoming Senator Mike Enzi. She spent most of her childhood and adult life outside of the state and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220519222115/https://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/17/us/politics/liz-cheney-to-challenge-senator-michael-enzi-of-wyoming.html">only moved to Jackson Hole in 2012</a>. Media outlets deemed Cheney a “<a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/onpolitics/2013/07/22/cheney-senate-wyoming-enzi-carpetbagger/2575197/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">carpetbagger</a>” after her campaign announcement <a href="https://theintercept.com/2021/05/12/liz-cheney-republican-house-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">geotagged her location in Virginia</a>, her primary residence at the time.    

Although eventually withdrawing, Cheney <a href="https://rollcall.com/2016/11/08/liz-cheney-wins-wyoming-house-seat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">successfully ran for Wyoming’s Lone House Seat in 2016</a>, where she served from 2016-2022 before <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/16/wyoming-alaska-primary-results-2022-00052216" target="_blank" rel="noopener">losing the primary by nearly 40 points</a> to challenger Harriet Hageman. 

While in Congress, Cheney took no public salary. Despite this, her personal wealth<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/08/11/records-liz-cheneys-net-worth-ballooned-much-600-percent-during-her-time-office/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> ballooned by over 600%</a>. Entering office with roughly $7 million dollars in assets, Cheney left six years later with an estimated net worth of $44 million. 

Much of Cheney’s <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/personal-finances/liz-cheney/net-worth?cid=N00035504" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wealth is tied to her stake in the law firm Latham &amp; Watkins</a>. Her husband, <a href="https://www.lw.com/people/PhilipJPerry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philip J. Perry</a>, has served as a partner since she first took office. The firm advised and lobbied on behalf of technology companies with direct connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). 

The State Department declared one company, Tencent, a “tool of the Chinese government” <a href="https://qz.com/1708662/chinese-tech-giants-tools-of-the-communist-party-us-official" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over surveillance and security concerns</a>.  Latham &amp; Watkins further <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/firms/summary?cycle=2004&amp;id=D000000536&amp;t0-search=exe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lobbied on behalf of Exelon</a>, a corporation that <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052970204358004577031241071779010" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aids the Chinese government’s nuclear program. </a>

<a href="https://globalstudies.as.virginia.edu/people/profile/trf6k" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tessa Farmer</a> is an Associate Professor in the Global Studies Program and Anthropology Department at the University of Virginia.

After the terrorist group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, Farmer offered extra credit to students who attended a discussion about how to “stand in solidarity with Palestinians resisting occupation.”

According to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/college-professor-offers-extra-credit-rally-resisting-israeli-occupation-sparking-state-ag-probe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News Digital</a>, Farmer sent a message to students on October 12 to promote an event hosted by Students for Justice in Palestine. The event was advertised as a “[teach-in] and demonstration about the current situation in Gaza, the events and history that led to this moment, and a discussion about how we can [stand] in solidarity with Palestinians resisting occupation.”

Farmer said students could receive extra credit by attending “an applicable event” that “relates to class conversations/themes” and writing a 250-word reflection about the event in relation to a course reading.

She sent a subsequent message to students which was shared with Fox News Digital by a University of Virginia spokesperson. Farmer said the goal “is for students to attend events around grounds that are applicable to the global studies course topics, recognizing that important issues will have a diversity of perspectives.”
“By posting the information provided by the organizers about the event that is happening today, I did not intend to imply that there is a link between endorsing the viewpoint of the organization and receiving extra credit for the course. In attending any event, I encourage you to critically engage with the content presented and to form your own opinion.” 
However, this is not the first time Farmer has <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Tessa_Farmer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shown support</a> for Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). In 2016, Fordham University blocked the formation of a Fordham SJP chapter “based on the reported behavior of other [SJP] chapters on other campuses.” Fordham decided, “the establishment of a local branch could be ‘polarizing’ and pose a safety concern to students and faculty.”

Farmer signed a letter authored by <a href="https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jewish Voice for Peace</a>—the “largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionest organization in the world”—that condemned the university’s decision to block the establishment of an SJP chapter. The <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/548748b1e4b083fc03ebf70e/t/58c1994ba5790ae223fbbf81/1489082707248/JVP+letter+to+Fordham+University.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signatories wrote</a>,
“We demand that you immediately rescind the rejection of SJP as a student group on campus, apologize to the students affected by this harmful decision, and reaffirm Fordham’s commitment to free speech and academic freedom.” 
In April 2017, four students sued Fordham University and a New York court annulled the university’s decision and required Fordham to recognize SJP as a club in August 2019.

Farmer has also shown support for the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement. In 2014, she <a href="https://anthroboycott.wordpress.com/the-statement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed a resolution</a> encouraging the American Anthropological Association (AAA) to boycott Israeli academic institutions. The resolution accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing, colonization, discrimination, and military occupation” and the signatories stated:
“We pledge not to collaborate on projects and events involving Israeli academic institutions, not to teach at or attend conferences and other events at such institutions, and not to publish in academic journals based in Israel.”

On March 5, 2024, Carson was <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/ben-shapiro-rap-is-racist-and-sexist-hip-hop-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in The College Fix</a> after calling a <a href="https://youtu.be/5kGpohEpuTE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rap song</a>, featuring political commentator <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-ben-shapiro-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro</a>, a “white male grievance” and “racist.” The song essentially calls out “woke” culture (e.g. “transgenderism,” “systemic racism”) with a hook that says, “I don’t care if I offend you.”

Quoting Carson, The Fix said: 
“‘Given today’s bitter partisan divide and extremist culture wars, it comes as no surprise that Shapiro’s track quickly found a devoted following. But his racist, anti-rap rap lyrics ultimately repeat the same tired charges right-wing politicians have used against hip-hop since its birth over 50 years ago.’”
Carson was also quoted as saying, “‘I would love to believe that racist, sexist, white male grievance rap isn’t where the zeitgeist is in America. But Ben Shapiro and his conservative followers are betting that it is — at least for a brief moment.’”

In response to the artist topping BillBoard’s Hot Country for the first time, Carson said, “‘So, when something in 2024 like this happens, when there is a first [b]lack woman at No. 1 on a commercial chart … the question that I automatically go to is, ‘Why hasn’t it happened before and what was stopping it from happening?’”

Following the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on President Donald Trump, Mokoko was <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/uva-professor-claims-trump-shooting-staged-tactic-win-votes-idiots/25896" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in a Campus Reform article</a> titled “UVA professor claims Trump shooting was ‘staged’ and a tactic to win votes from ‘idiots.’”

Campus Reform said, “In a quote-tweet by [Mokoko], he said that Trump’s secret service purposefully ‘ignored’ eyewitnesses who allegedly informed police of an armed man on a roof before the shooting took place.”

Mokoko’s tweet was in response to a viral interview posted by “End Wokeness.” However, Mokoko’s post appears to have been deleted.

<a href="https://effroncenter.princeton.edu/people/allison-carruth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Allison Carruth</a> is a Professor in the Program in American Studies and the High Meadows Environmental Institute at Princeton University. According to her university profile, Carruth’s research interests include “environmental narrative and science communication; the role of artists and writers in contemporary American environmental and food justice movements; and evolving relationships in the United States between technology and ecology.”
In April 2024, Carruth signed a “<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/04/princeton-opinion-opguest-faculty-staff-solidarity-palestine-protestors-columbia-barnard-encampment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement of solidarity with Columbia University students from Princeton faculty and staff</a>.” The statement came after student protestors established a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on the lawns of Columbia University, disrupting campus operations, sparking safety concerns, and causing classes to be <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/columbia-university-moves-classes-online-as-pro-palestine-protests-spark-safety-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held remotely</a> for the remainder of the semester.
The statement begins:
“We, Princeton University faculty and staff, affirm our solidarity with and support for the Columbia University and Barnard College students who are continuing to demand that the university divest from Israel’s genocide in Gaza and ongoing occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and other Palestinian land.” 
The signatories have committed to boycotting Columbia University and Barnard College until several demands are met, including:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We call upon the Columbia University administration to reinstate those students who were wrongfully suspended for exercising their constitutionally recognized right to speech and peaceful assembly.”</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We demand that all charges be dismissed and expunged from their student records, and that all rights and privileges be restored to them immediately.”</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We call upon the Columbia University administration to remove the New York City Police Department from campus. All criminal charges that have been brought against student protestors who were arrested by the NYPD at the behest of the university administration should be dropped immediately.”</li>
</ul>
The faculty and staff have also called for the university to reverse the suspension of two student groups, Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine and Columbia Jewish Voice for Peace. They concluded their statement with the following:
“We vow to withhold our academic labor from Columbia and Barnard, not to participate in conferences and other campus events, and not to collaborate with university institutions until such time as the administration has met these demands and demonstrated its commitments to upholding the well-established norms of unrestricted scholarly inquiry and academic freedom.”

In an interview with the University of Georgia’s student publication, “<a href="https://www.redandblack.com/uganews/uga-professor-founds-racial-equality-education-project/article_5b019170-cd51-11ea-bd50-a3bd8e0c6368.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Red &amp; Black</a>,” Dr. Tosolt states that she wants to help teachers become anti-racist and “unlearn their whiteness.” She advocates for educators to recognize “the whiteness embedded in their institutions and teach them to use their privilege to get rid of their privilege.”  
Dr. Tosolt hopes to eradicate “anti-blackness” by including more black authors in the curriculum and removing police officers from schools in order to “interrupt racism:”  
“The goal is to interrupt racism through multiple measures such as choosing Black authors, selecting resources that are authentic and multifaceted, and advocating for the election of Black people to school boards.”
These ideas are core themes in one of Dr. Tosolt’s courses titled “Racism and Sexism in Education.” The videos listed for the class include an introduction in which Dr. Tosolt expresses <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rEYIXCDOzU&amp;list=PL2njuXn6coFyHNgNK3pmn41SoxIhwX8_n&amp;ab_channel=BrandelynTosolt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">her desire to create “anti-racist” educators</a>.

She writes the celebration of the holiday only serves to reinforce white supremacy.
“&#8230;White teachers as authority figures who regulate the presence of Blackness, and without drawing attention to the White supremacist cultural norms that are the foundation for U.S. society, students can walk away from Black History Month with a reinforced belief in White supremacy.”
Dr. Tosolt advocates for teachers to learn critical race theory in order to fully disrupt an education system “built on a system of whiteness, entrenched in a white supremacy culture, and defended by white fragility.”

Orange Coast College

<a href="https://www.sac.edu/foundation/Alumni/Halls-of-Fame/Pages/Biography-Jessica-Alabi.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Jessica Ayo Alabi</a> is a Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies at Orange Coast College.  According to her university profile, Alabi “is one of the few scholars conducting empirical research on Hip-Hop Culture, and its impact on urban youth.” <a href="https://www.sac.edu/foundation/Alumni/Halls-of-Fame/Pages/Biography-Jessica-Alabi.aspx">
</a>

According to the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/89544/california-professor-bans-college-republicans-from-womens-history-month-events/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Examiner</a>, Alabi banned conservatives from a discussion about women and African-Americans in 2017 titled “Curl Talk.” According to an email Alabi sent to school administrators, she admitted to banning members of the Republican club from the event. She also wrote, "If the college will not stand up to the Republican club, I have decided to stand up for myself and other students." (See image of email below).

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3774" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Screenshot-2024-08-07-at-8.35.09-AM.png" alt="" width="628" height="501" />

The Orange Coast College Republicans sent a letter to the college’s administration with demands following their exclusion from Alabi’s event.

The demands include an investigation into Alabi’s history of discrimination against conservatives, and if such is proven, that she be suspended from teaching at Orange Coast College for two semesters. (See list of demands below obtained by the Washington Examiner):

“1. That an investigation be opened, or reopened, into Jessica Alibi discriminating against Republican club members, and conservative students as self-reported by her via public email to you.

2. That upon the completion of the investigation if it’s proven that Professor Alabi discriminated against students on the basis of their ideological viewpoint and party affiliation that, at the least, she be suspended from teaching for two non-intersession semesters at Orange Coast College, and if possible as well as the Coast Community College District, and be permitted to return after that suspension once she’s attended an in-depth training on student’s rights and preventing viewpoint discrimination, as well as be required to write a one page long apology letter to the OCC Republicans and the members effected by her actions.

3. That President Harkins write a letter to the Board of Trustees supporting the revision and ratification of board policy changes proposed by our club in early April to the Board of Trustees that would amend current district policies to protect students from discrimination on the basis of political affiliations and ideological beliefs .

4. That Orange Coast College will take measures to start, or improve, training for faculty and staff on how to respect students’ rights, viewpoints, and be trained on what viewpoint discrimination is to prevent future instances.”

As of the update of this profile, these demands appear to not have been met by the Orange Coast College administration.
