Pick a side: denounce your affiliation, or admit you’re a racist.’”
The Reform quoted Knijnenburg’s response to another commenter:

<a href="https://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/faculty/ulrich-c-baer.html">Dr. Ulrich Baer</a> is a Professor of Comparative Literature at New York University. He wrote an editorial in the New York Times supporting the suppression of free speech on college campuses. He claimed &#8220;The idea of freedom of speech does not mean a blanket permission to say anything anybody thinks. It means balancing the inherent value of a given view with the obligation to ensure that other members of a given community can participate in discourse as fully recognized members of that community.&#8221;

New York University

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

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

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

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

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

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

In a piece for <a href="https://theconversation.com/trumps-promotion-of-an-image-of-strength-after-assassination-attempt-borrows-from-authoritarian-playbook-235038" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Conversation</a>, Ben-Ghiat wrote about the personal and sociopolitical effect of the July 13 assassination attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump. Specifically, she related the assassination attempt to those attempts made on “authoritarian” leaders in recent history:
“The effects of the assassination attempt on Trump are so far in line with authoritarian history. Chief among its aftereffects is a boost to Trump’s victimhood persona.” 
Ben-Ghiat concluded her article with the following statement:
“The assassination attempt on Trump may be used as justification for these measures, just as other attacks have been used by other authoritarians in history.”
Ben-Ghiat claims the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, were a “self-coup” by former President Donald Trump that influenced other similar alleged “coups” throughout the world. In a July 2024 blog <a href="https://lucid.substack.com/p/autocrats-like-trump-and-maduro-want" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a>, Ben-Ghiat wrote the following:
“Although Trump’s ‘self-coup’ failed (the term used for attempts by incumbents to stay in power illegally), it was influential abroad, inspiring Jair Bolsonaro’s failed Jan. 8, 2023 Brazilian insurrection. Having had a coup that led to a decades-long dictatorship, the Brazilians took the danger of propagating electoral fraud seriously, convicting Bolsonaro for it and banning him from politics until 2030.”  
The professor then drew connections between Chinese head of state Xi Jinping and former President Donald Trump:
“When Trump <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/184076/trumps-alarming-new-rant-praising-dictators-shows-media-failing-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">praises</a> Chinese head of state Xi Jinping for his ability to rule ‘with an iron fist,’ he is praising a situation in which opposition parties don’t exist, which makes elections moot and ‘simplifies’ political life.”
At the conclusion of her post, Ben-Ghiat claimed former President Trumps' goal is to do away with elections altogether:
“The endgame of MAGA election denial is not challenging this or that election, but convincing Americans that elections as a practice are unnecessary. Trump would be delighted to relieve us of the ‘burden; of voting, just like Mussolini did for Italians a century ago.”

Dr. Ben-Ghiat describes these parents as elements of the “authoritarian culture” that is eroding democracy. She specifically cites their opposition to mandatory masking and vaccination of children, alleging it stems from a “Q-Anon” belief.

She states that “anti-vaccine militants” and “white-christian evangelicals” are using “parental rights” as a smokescreen to abolish private education. She decries parents allegedly “censoring” books that would teach children about the “centrality of racism and slavery” to this country’s founding. She further criticizes calls for parental control in education, describing it as the installation of “authoritarian culture” in towns and local school boards.

In a separate article for the Washington Post—titled,”<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/10/26/gun-violence-authoritarianism-normalization/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">America’s Gun Culture is Priming Us for Authoritarianism</a>,”—Dr. Ben-Ghiat alleges the Capitol Riots are the inevitable result of an armed citizenry.

She is referring to the incident surrounding January 6, 2021 at the Capital <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/02/09/965472049/the-capitol-siege-the-arrested-and-their-stories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in which a number of protestors breached the Capitol’s Doors during certification of the 2020 Presidential Election</a>, some violently so. Despite claims to the contrary, even the FBI has determined that <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/fbi-confirms-there-was-no-insurrection-on-january-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no evidence exists that any rioters coordinated to commit an “insurrection.</a>”

Dr. Ben-Ghiat alleges that general access to lethal weapons enables “mass death” and a “democratic decline” in America. She bizarrely connects the January 6th “insurrection” to civilian ownership of firearms, alleging the later enables “mass death” and desensitizes others to human life.

Dr. Ben-Ghiat further alleges that gun owners are willing to harm others in exchange for their freedoms, alleging that no loss of life seems to deter them:

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

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

In the chapter Sex Class, she says, 

“Gender currently divides the working class — women’s struggles are often pushed aside as if they are not half the population — but it shouldn’t be central to our struggle, an asset…The first step toward gender justice would require a reexamination of the nuclear family.”

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

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

“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.

In January 2023, the pro-Israel organization “StandWithUs” <a href="https://www.jns.org/standwithus-files-complaint-against-george-washington-u-alleging-antisemitism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed a complaint against GWU</a>, alleging that Sheehi maintains “a pervasive, hostile, and discriminatory environment for Jewish and Israeli students.”
<a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/jewish-students-reported-a-professor-for-anti-semitism-the-university-retaliated-against-them/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Free Beacon</a> reports that during the first fall class of 2022, Sheehi asked each student to verbally affirm their ethnic identity. When one student announced that she was Israeli, Sheehi allegedly replied, “It’s not your fault you were born in Israel.”
For the remainder of the semester, the complaint states that Sheehi would berate and accuse Jewish students of racism. Fellow classmates were incited to exclude them at the direction of Sheehi. When students reported Sheehi, she allegedly retaliated against them.
George Washington University <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/03/29/gwu-professor-lara-sheehi-accused-of-antisemitism/">would later clear Sheehi of all wrong-doing</a>. The findings of an internal probe declared there is “no evidence that the discourse (in the class) crossed the line.”
On her personal social media account—which appears to <a href="https://twitter.com/blackflaghag">have been </a><a href="https://twitter.com/blackflaghag">deleted</a> as of publication—Sheehi expresses the same anti-Israel sentiments and support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

Much of Sheehi’s professional work demonizes Israel and recruits academics for the BDS movement. According to a report by <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/308321" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arutz Sheeva</a>, Sheehi used her position as President of the Psychologists for Social Responsibility to advocate for the “decolonization” of Palestine. As President of the US Palestine Mental Health Network, Sheehi worked to boycott <a href="https://usapalmhn.org/about-dont-go/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israeli health conferences and mental health professionals.</a>
In 2022, she co-authored <a href="https://www.routledge.com/Psychoanalysis-Under-Occupation-Practicing-Resistance-in-Palestine/Sheehi-Sheehi/p/book/9781138596207" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine</a>” with William &amp; Mary professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/stephensheehi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephen Sheehi</a>.  During an <a href="https://www.jadaliyya.com/Details/43950" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a>, she described the piece as an examination of the ”profound psychic violence” Israel inflicts on Palestinians.
Sheehi characterizes herself in the same interview as a “life-long BDS activist.” She adds that it is crucial for Palestinians to resist Israel’s “eurocentric” practices that further “white supremacy and capitalist exploitation.” Despite their attempts to the contrary, Sheehi continues, Israelis will never be looked at as anything other than an “occupier, oppressor, and settler” toward Arabs.

After Hamas terrorists attacked Israel in October 2023, Sheehi shared posts to her private Instagram account that described the Hamas terrorists as “martyrs” and endorsed their “armed resistance.” In screenshots obtained by <a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/how-dare-you-slander-the-names-of-our-martyrs-inside-a-george-washington-professors-pro-hamas-tirade/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Free Beacon</a>, Sheehi praised a statement critical of “anyone condemning the Palestinians’ armed resistance.”

The Washington Free Beacon provided images of Sheehi’s posts to George Washington University.

The statement “stressed the importance of coming together and caring for one another, especially those who are Israeli, Jewish, Palestinian, Muslim, Arab, or connected to the region and this war.”
Sheehi remains under federal investigation by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights after her <a href="https://www.jns.org/standwithus-files-complaint-against-george-washington-u-alleging-antisemitism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">treatment of Jewish students</a> prompted StandWithUs to file a complaint against her in January 2023.

Dr. Leana Wen is a <a href="https://publichealth.gwu.edu/departments/health-policy-and-management/leana-wen-md-msc_faaem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Research Professor of Health Policy and Management</a> at George Washington University. In addition to teaching, Dr. Wen is an emergency department medical doctor and a CNN Medical Analyst. She is also an op-ed columnist for a few different publications, and previously she was the President of Planned Parenthood - a tenure that lasted only eight months.

Over the last year and a half, the focus of Dr. Wen’s research and interest has been on COVID-19. She <a href="https://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2021/05/01/how-can-u-s-solve-problem-of-vaccine-hesitancy.cnn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">often speaks on the subject for CNN</a> and other news outlets such as the Washington Post and the New York Times. In a video clip recently released by CNN, Dr. Wen compared unvaccinated Americans to drunk drivers. You can watch the clip below:

https://twitter.com/DrLeanaWen/status/1436361021749334018

&nbsp;

In <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/09/09/bidens-six-step-covid-strategy-does-not-go-far-enough-compel-vaccinations/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=wp_opinions&amp;utm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an article published by the Washington Post</a>, Dr. Wen alleges that President Biden’s six-pronged strategy for COVID vaccination doesn’t go far enough. In her opinion, he is not doing enough to compel the unvaccinated to get vaccinated, and he needs to do even more. She argues that “the administration can and must go much further.”

<img class="size-full wp-image-1678 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-19-at-8.45.17-AM.png" alt="" width="459" height="142" />

One of her many complaints is that President Biden has not mandated vaccinations for plane and train travel. Dr. Wen believes the government should use its power to implement this mandate in order to “make it clear that there are consequences to remaining unvaccinated.” Dr. Wen alleges that travel is a privilege, not a right.

<img class="size-full wp-image-1679 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-19-at-8.46.12-AM.png" alt="" width="470" height="176" />

Dr. Wen is a huge proponent of vaccine passports. She notes that Israel and the European Union have vaccine verification methods, and the United States should as well.

Dr. Wen also thinks that all children over 12 years old should be required to be vaccinated, and the COVID vaccine should be added to the other immunization requirements for children. Dr. Wen explains how she would convince parents to vaccinate their children <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9W7IJdig7w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in this video</a>.

Dr. <a href="https://americanstudies.columbian.gwu.edu/elisabeth-anker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elisabeth Anker</a> is an Associate Professor of American Studies and Political Science at  <a href="https://americanstudies.columbian.gwu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">George Washington University</a> in Washington DC. The author of “<a href="https://www.dukeupress.edu/ugly-freedoms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ugly Freedoms</a>,” Dr. Anker has described freedom as a “slippery concept” that upholds patriarchy, <a href="https://read.dukeupress.edu/books/book/2974/Ugly-Freedoms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">colonialism, ecological destruction, and white supremacy</a>.

In an article for the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC), Dr. Anker <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/radio/checkup/what-s-your-reaction-to-the-ottawa-standoff-and-the-border-blockades-1.6349636/why-the-word-freedom-is-such-a-useful-rallying-cry-for-protesters-1.6349865" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vilifies right-wing and conservative groups who utilize “freedom” as their rallying cry to remove COVID-19 restrictions</a>. Her comments were published just as the Canadian government began cracking down on the “Freedom Convoy” by using emergency police powers.

The Freedom Convoy was organized in the winter of 2022 to protest the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/01/29/trucker-freedom-convoy-set-to-protest-justin-trudeaus-vaccine-mandates/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canadian government's enforcement of a vaccination mandate for truckers</a>. Participants parked their trucks in downtown Ottawa and halted traffic for weeks in front of the Canadian Parliament. Elsewhere, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/02/08/freedom-convoy-supporters-block-traffic-canadas-busiest-border-crossing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">truck drivers blocked vital points of entry on the US-Canadian border</a>.

After several weeks, the city police began <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/canadian-police-seize-fuel-trucker-covid-protest-court-silences-horns-rcna15294" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seizing fuel and other supplies</a> from the convoy. The crowdfunding site, “GoFundMe,” <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/ottawa-police-admit-to-lobbying-gofundme-to-withhold-funds-from-canadian-truckers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pulled a donation page from the truckers at the request of the Ottawa Police</a>. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau authorized the use of the “Emergencies Act” which grants the Canadian government extrajudicial powers in breaking up the blockade.

The <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/freedom-convoy-trucker-protests-organizers-arrested" target="_blank" rel="noopener">organizers of the protest were soon arrested</a> and <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-freedom-convoy-organizer-tamara-lich-denied-bail?utm_campaign=64483" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held without bail</a>. Individuals who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-trudeau-announces-unprecedented-action-freezing-bank-accounts-of-freedom-convoy-protesters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">participated or donated to the convoy soon found their bank accounts frozen</a>. As police moved to clear the site of the protest, footage emerged of mounted units <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/woman-trampled-freedom-protest-indigenous-elder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trampling demonstrators, including an elderly woman in a mobility scooter</a>. Additional footage shows <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/video-rebel-news-journalist-assaulted-injured-by-police-at-freedom-convoy-protest-rebel-news-were-suing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">police injuring reporters</a> and <a href="https://townhall.com/tipsheet/juliorosas/2022/02/18/ottawa-police-threatens-media-with-arrest-amid-crackdown-on-trucker-protests-n2603491" target="_blank" rel="noopener">threatening others with arrest for covering the protest.</a>

In the days leading up to the crackdown, Dr. Anker described the protests as a “violent” form of freedom and accused the “far-right” of abusing liberties to oppose equity.

“On the far right, [individual freedom] is often translated into somebody who refuses to be bound by norms of equality, treating all people equally or norms to remedy inequality, whether that’s trying to remedy racial discrimination or gender discrimination.”

She further laments how Canadians take advantage of the concept of freedom as a “national entitlement,” just as Americans do.

“It's been taking a lot of people by surprise to see people in Canada, who often seem so much more accepting of social interdependence, to start pushing back against it with the language of individual freedom.”

In a previous article for the New York Times—titled, “<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220204102257/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/04/opinion/ugly-freedom-discrimination-racism-sexism.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Exploitation of ‘Freedom’ in America</a>,”—Dr. Anker condemns Americans who cite their “ugly freedoms” to remove mask mandates and prohibit abortions.

“Each of these actions used the language of freedom to justify anti-democratic politics. These, then, are what I call “ugly freedoms”: used to block the teaching of certain ideas, diminish employees' ability to have power in the workplace, and undermine public health.

“These are not merely misunderstood freedoms, or even just a cynical use of the language of freedom to frame bigoted policies. They manifest, instead, a particular interpretation of freedom that is not expansive, but exclusionary and coercive.”

She goes on to write that the “long history of ugly freedoms” includes justifications for slavery, marital abuse, and segregation; freedoms in America, she argues, have suppressed “nonwhites, women, and workers,” and have been used to justify white supremacy.

As of publication, the Canadian Parliament has just voted <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/canadian-parliament-votes-to-extend-emergencies-act-for-30-days/#slide-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to extend the Emergencies Act</a>.

<a href="https://history.columbian.gwu.edu/david-silverman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Silverman</a> is a Professor at the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences at George Washington University. 

According to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=20687" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, David Silverman criticized Thanksgiving, stating it presents Native Americans as a “caricature” and whitewashes the nation’s bloody founding and history. His comments came during a segment on NPR’s, “<a href="https://one.npr.org/?sharedMediaId=1057940813:1057940820" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Woke History</a>.” 

In the interview, Silverman characterizes Thanksgiving as the myth of “native people making friends with colonists and then bloodlessly granting their country to these newcomers.” He asks listeners to reflect on the “damage done to indigenous people in the classroom” by this narrative.  

He further alleges the holiday negatively impacts white children:

“...in sanitizing the bloodiness of colonial history, it doesn't allow them to understand where their privilege comes from, it doesn’t allow them to think critically about this country’s origins, and in turn, it handicaps them from thinking about our present and our future.”

Silverman added that football teams like the “Redskins” who play on Thanksgiving make a “caricature” out of Native People: 

“…they misrepresent the Native past and they make many Native people today uncomfortable and invisible to the larger public. It does a great deal of damage. This is not just innocent fun.”

Silverman also promoted  his book, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/This-Land-Their-Wampanoag-Thanksgiving/dp/1632869241" target="_blank" rel="noopener">This Land is Their Land</a>.” According to the description, Thanksgiving “celebrates a myth of colonialism and white proprietorship of the United States.” 

In the text, Silverman <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2019/11/27/george-washington-university-prof-thanksgiving-should-be-a-day-of-mourning/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advocates replacing the holiday</a> with a “National Day of Mourning” to reflect on the genocide of native Americans by white people: 

“The National Day of Mourning calls attention to the fact that white America’s triumphs have been borne on native peoples’ backs.” 

Despite his criticism, Silverman admitted to NPR that he still celebrates Thanksgiving.

In 2022, she co-authored <a href="https://www.routledge.com/Psychoanalysis-Under-Occupation-Practicing-Resistance-in-Palestine/Sheehi-Sheehi/p/book/9781138596207" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine</a>” with William &amp; Mary professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/stephensheehi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephen Sheehi</a>.  During an <a href="https://www.jadaliyya.com/Details/43950" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a>, she described the piece as an examination of the ”profound psychic violence” Israel inflicts on Palestinians.

Sheehi characterizes herself in the same interview as a “life-long BDS activist.” She adds that it is crucial for Palestinians to resist Israel’s “eurocentric” practices that further “white supremacy and capitalist exploitation.” Despite their attempts to the contrary, Sheehi continues, Israelis will never be looked at as anything other than an “occupier, oppressor, and settler” toward Arabs.

After Hamas terrorists attacked Israel in October 2023, Sheehi shared posts to her private Instagram account that described the Hamas terrorists as “martyrs” and endorsed their “armed resistance.” In screenshots obtained by <a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/how-dare-you-slander-the-names-of-our-martyrs-inside-a-george-washington-professors-pro-hamas-tirade/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Free Beacon</a>, Sheehi praised a statement critical of “anyone condemning the Palestinians’ armed resistance.”

The Washington Free Beacon provided images of Sheehi’s posts to George Washington University.

The statement “stressed the importance of coming together and caring for one another, especially those who are Israeli, Jewish, Palestinian, Muslim, Arab, or connected to the region and this war.”

Sheehi remains under federal investigation by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights after her <a href="https://www.jns.org/standwithus-files-complaint-against-george-washington-u-alleging-antisemitism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">treatment of Jewish students</a> prompted StandWithUs to file a complaint against her in January 2023.

<a href="https://elliott.gwu.edu/michael-barnett" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Barnett</a> is a Professor of International Affairs and Political Science at George Washington University.

Barnett participated in a <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12850253/George-Washington-University-Hamas-anti-Semitism-Israel.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">December 2023 faculty panel</a> titled “Understanding the Conflict in Israel and Palestine.” During the discussion, which was sponsored by the School of Medicine and Health Sciences’ Anti-Racism Coalition and the Institute for Middle East Studies, Barnett argued Palestine has a “right of resistance,” saying:
“Israel rightly can claim self-defense, but I also want to note here that Hamas and the Palestinians also have a right of resistance.” 
After the panel, Dean of Diversity and Inclusion Yolanda Haywood <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/12/10/news/gwu-med-faculty-panel-defended-hamas-right-of-resistance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">apologized to the medical community</a>.
“The primary goal was to offer an experience that would result in thoughtful reflection and be a stimulus for broader, open communication. As the webinar proceeded, it became clear that this program was not a balanced presentation on this most divisive and difficult subject.” 
In his article titled “<a href="https://politicalviolenceataglance.org/2023/06/02/the-responsibility-to-protect-palestinians/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Responsibility to Protect Palestinians</a>,” Barnett claimed, “Israel has routinely violated international law, including that related to refugees, human rights, and occupation.” He believes the United States was willing to overlook these violations in the name of the “peace process.” However, he claims:
“The peace process has been dead for at least a decade and there is now a “one-state reality” from the river to the sea. In this one-state reality, Palestinians have few rights or protections and Jewish privilege is enshrined in various laws and rules that systematically discriminate against Palestinians, providing strong evidence for claims that Israel is now an apartheid state.” 
In response, Barnett says the United States needs to become a “guardian” to the Palestinians rather than an “enabler of the oppression.”
“The West might consider placing smart sanctions on Israel and leaders that benefit from Israel’s hold over the territories, or introducing trade restrictions.” 
In October 2023, Barnett penned an article for The Guardian titled “<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/24/israel-palestine-gaza-invasion-ceasefire-hamas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">If Israel invades Gaza it will be a disaster for both Palestinians and Israelis</a>.” He writes:
“Many months ago I used the UN’s early warning indicators to see whether Israel should be put on a watch list for potential atrocity crimes, ethnic cleansing and possibly even genocide. Israel ticked all the boxes and perhaps all that was needed to trigger these crimes against humanity was an act that caused widespread torment and rage in Israel.” 
He further claims:
“Israel rules this state with force and apartheid-like measures - Gaza is governed by isolation, deprivation and violence, and the West Bank with a creeping annexation that imposes Jewish supremacy and the denial of basic human rights to Palestinians.”

Dr. Caitlin Bernard is a physician affiliated with IU Health and an <a href="https://medicine.iu.edu/faculty/23008/bernard-caitlin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Assistant Professor of Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology at the IU School of Medicine.</a> Dr. Bernard is one of the few doctors in Indiana who has specific training in second-trimester abortions and she <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/28/us/politics/abortion-doctor-caitlin-bernard-ohio.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">performs both surgical and medication abortions several days a month at Planned Parenthood</a> clinincs in Indiana and Kentucky.
On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. Hours after this decision, the state of Ohio outlawed any abortion after six weeks. A few days later, Dr. Bernard gained national media attention for providing an abortion to a 10-year-old girl who was pregnant from rape by an illegal immigrant. The girl traveled from Ohio when she was just over six weeks pregnant.
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita announced that an <a href="https://fox59.com/news/national-world/indiana-attorney-general-threatens-license-of-doctor-who-provided-abortion-to-10-year-old-rape-victim/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investigation into Dr. Bernard had begun</a>, stating:
“Aside from the horror caused by illegal immigration, we are investigating this situation and waiting for the relevant documents to prove if the abortion and/or the abuse were reported, as Dr. Caitlin Bernard had requirements to do both under Indiana law. The failure to do so constitutes a crime in Indiana, and her behavior could also affect her licensure. Additionally, if a HIPAA violation did occur, that may affect next steps as well. I will not relent in the pursuit of truth.” 
Dr. Bernard’s attorney, Kathleen DeLaney, has <a href="https://www.wthr.com/article/news/health/indiana-doctor-who-provided-abortion-for-10-year-old-files-claim-for-damages-against-indiana-ag-caitlin-bernard-todd-rokita/531-b2c2ba9c-ed3e-4600-906c-e7603cc8eb5a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed notice of a tort claim against AG Rokita for defamation.</a> Rokita says that his “comments are supported by facts” but will not provide additional details at this time. As of September 1, Rokita said the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220914171551/https://www.indystar.com/story/news/health/2022/09/14/indiana-attorney-general-todd-rokita-office-declines-to-share-info-on-dr-bernard-complaints/69493958007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investigation was “ongoing.”</a>
&nbsp;
Updated &#8211; June 12, 2023
On May 25, 2023, the Indiana Medical Licensing Board reprimanded and fined Dr. Bernard after they determined, in a 4-1 vote, that she <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/med-professor-fined-over-abortion-of-10-year-old-girls-baby/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">violated federal and state patient privacy laws</a>. Dr. Bernard told <a href="https://www.indystar.com/story/news/health/2022/07/01/indiana-abortion-law-roe-v-wade-overturned-travel/7779936001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Indianapolis Star</a> that she was providing an abortion to a 10-year-old from Ohio, prior to seeing the patient.
After Attorney General Todd Rokita filed a complaint against Dr. Bernard in November 2022, the board found her liable on three counts of violating patient privacy laws. During <a href="https://www.wfyi.org/news/articles/caitlin-bernard-violated-patient-privacy-abortion-patient-case#:~:text=May%2025%2C%202023,reprimand%20over%20any%20harsher%20punishment." target="_blank" rel="noopener">the hearing</a>, Deputy Attorney General Cory Voight asked Bernard whether it was true that, had she not spoken to the Star, “we wouldn’t be sitting here today?”
Bernard disagreed, saying, “I think that if the attorney general, Todd Rokita, had not chosen to make this his political stunt, we wouldn’t be here today.”
Attorney General spokesperson Kelly Stevenson counted the board’s decision as a win for patient privacy, commenting, “It’s not right and the facts were presented today that made that very clear.”
However, the board unanimously sided against the attorney general by dismissing two other allegations against Dr. Bernard. <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/26/us/dr-caitlin-bernard-indiana-medical-board-hearing/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a> reports the board determined “she did not violate laws requiring physicians to immediately report suspected child abuse and keep abreast of mandatory reporting and patient privacy laws.”
Dr. Bernard will be fined $3,000 and will receive a letter of reprimand, which agreed to allow her to continue practicing medicine.
Board President Dr. John Strobel said, “I don’t think she expected this to go viral. I don’t think she expected this attention to be brought to this patient.” He added,
“I think she’s a good doctor and I think she’s safe to go back to practice.”

<a href="https://law.indiana.edu/about/people/details/thusi-i.-india.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I. India Thusi</a> is a Professor of Law at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law. According to her university profile, her research examines “racial and sexual hierarchies as they relate to policing, race, and gender.”

Professor Thusi is a Senior Scientist at the <a href="https://kinseyinstitute.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kinsey Institute</a>, previously known as the Kinsey Institute for Sex Research. The institute is named after Alfred Kinsey, who published a book during his tenure there titled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sexual-Behavior-Human-Alfred-Kinsey/dp/0253334128" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sexual Behavior in the Human Male</a>.”

This book features several charts that <a href="http://stopthekinseyinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/BRIEF_The-Kinsey-Institute-Exposed_A-Warning-to-Parents-and-Governments_52014.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">document the “sexual responses” of children</a> from infants through teens.

In February 2023, the Indiana House voted 53-34 to <a href="https://indianacapitalchronicle.com/briefs/house-votes-to-strip-ius-kinsey-institute-of-state-funding/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prohibit state dollars</a> from going to the Kinsey Institute over concerns with the institute’s namesake. Further concerns were brought from Representative Cindy Ledbetter who said her job as a nurse practitioner has required her to take training from the Kinsey Institute on <a href="https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2023/03/08/5-bills-targeting-transgender-rights-indiana-general-assembly/69936310007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">how to administer gender-affirming medications</a> to transgender children.

As part of her work with the institute, Professor Thusi <a href="https://deliverypdf.ssrn.com/delivery.php?ID=502127090083070016029094123083082089097086084036020059023084068071008116118082029119033028006123050113058084074003090109014024062005008023034102026108125025084006116021035085100086078121019124067017092122108127109103076092012015089065084025102004005105&amp;EXT=pdf&amp;INDEX=TRUE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote a paper discussing “reality porn,”</a> which she defines as “sexually explicit materials or experiences that are facilitated through online virtual platforms.” She further defines the term by clarifying that these sexual experiences would typically “fit within the legal definition of prostitution in most states because they involve sexual conduct in exchange for a fee - but that are expressive in nature.”

Thusi writes, ”Reality porn is pornographic paid sex work that should be accorded First Amendment recognition, notwithstanding the criminalization of the underlying act of prostitution.” She notes that she has “previously argued that all forms of sex work should be decriminalized” and she extends the same argument to reality porn.
“As long as this conduct is consentable - both consented to in face and consensual in nature - it should not be deprived of constitutional protection.” 
Thusi wrote an op-ed for <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/586608-its-time-to-stop-policing-womens-bodies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hill</a> titled, “It’s time to stop policing women’s bodies.” She believes, “Decriminalized sex work and access to abortion allow women in economic precarity [to] escape destitution.” She also argues:
“Feminists should embrace a definition of sexual freedom that goes beyond the right to prevent reproduction and which focuses on women’s sexual autonomy - including the autonomy to end a pregnancy or to profit from how women use their own bodies.”

<a href="https://medicine.iu.edu/faculty/17315/scott-nicole" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Nicole Scott</a> is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology and the Director of Indiana University’s School of Medicine’s OB-GYN Residency Training Program.

Dr. Scott is <a href="https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/2022/07/25/indiana-abortion-laws-could-affect-obstetric-deserts-maternal-mortality/10031897002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pro-abortion</a> and has claimed, “Abortion is not a dirty word. Abortion is a healthcare procedure that can be life-saving for some people.”

After Roe v. Wade was overturned, Dr. Scott was featured in a <a href="https://www.wthr.com/article/news/special-reports/indiana-abortion/indiana-university-school-of-medicine-adjusting-ob-gyn-residency-program-after-abortion-ban/531-8d3a24b8-29a6-48b0-981b-5c0e12ee3819" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WTHR</a> article titled, “IU School of Medicine adjusts OB-GYN residency program after abortion ban.” Dr. Scott stated, “Abortion care training is still a requirement for OB-GYN residents and the new legislation limits that to some degree for our resident doctors.”

Dr. Scott <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/08/10/1116024857/young-obgyns-indiana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims the residents</a> in the program are “devastated” by the Roe v. Wade decision, saying, “They signed up to provide comprehensive health care to women. And they are being told that they can’t do that.”

In response, the program will begin sending residents to Illinois to receive abortion training. However, she says:
“This is not as simple as just showing up in an office and saying, ‘Can I observe?’ This includes getting a medical license for out-of-state trainees. This includes funding for travel and lodging. It adds a lot to what we already do to educate future OB-GYNs.”

According to her university profile, Dr. Neal also serves on a “new board for Planned Parenthood as part of the recent merger between Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky (PPINK) and Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest and the Hawaiian Islands (PPGNHI).”

In February 2023, Dr. Neal became the first Executive Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice and Chief Diversity Officer. According <a href="https://medicine.iu.edu/news/2023/01/chemen-neal-named-ead-deij" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to a press release</a>, Dr. Neal will “work closely with academic, research and clinical leaders across the organization to advance DEIJ strategic priorities for students, trainees, faculty and staff.”

Dr. Neal stated:
“Excellence in diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice elevates all members of our medical school community. As the largest medical school in the country, we have a responsibility to be leaders in health equity and inclusive excellence. To do that, DEIJ must be woven into all aspects of what we do—research, education, patient care, faculty and staff affairs, and community engagement.” 
Her new role <a href="https://www.wfyi.org/news/articles/new-leader-on-diversity-at-iu-school-of-medicine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">will be responsible for a variety of areas</a>, including:
-”Developing and guiding implementation of DEIJ strategic plans” 
-”Defining and monitoring DEIJ key performance indicators”
-”Organizing affinity group, learner development and support programs” 
-”Developing programs to enhance diversity recruitment and retention”
Dr. Neal says some of her early goals in her new role include “establishing metrics to help school leadership gain a greater understanding of key areas like retention and belonging, as well as a focus on the diversification of faculty.”

She says:
“That is a big priority because of the direct relationship to health equity outcomes and organizational success. Meeting this priority will take a multifaceted approach that involves all aspects of our mission from culture to climate to research to education. After we understand where we are then we can make strategic plans for moving forward over the next several years.”

<a href="https://medicine.iu.edu/faculty/9156/rouse-caroline">Dr. Caroline Rouse</a> is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology at the Indiana University School of Medicine. According to her Riley Children’s Health <a href="https://www.rileychildrens.org/find-a-doctor/physician/caroline-e-rouse">profile</a>, Dr. Rouse “is a maternal-fetal medicine specialist with expertise in caring for expectant mothers and their unborn babies.”

In September 2023, Dr. Rouse <a href="https://www.indystar.com/story/opinion/2023/09/01/america-abortion-debate-indiana-is-crossroads-bleak-future/70727114007/">wrote an op-ed</a> with colleague Dr. Sherrine Ibrahim titled, “Indiana is the crossroads of America’s abortion debate and our future is bleak.” The authors condemn Indiana’s August 2023 <a href="https://iga.in.gov/legislative/2022ss1/bills/senate/1/details">abortion law</a>, which criminalizes abortion after 20 weeks and medication abortions after 8 weeks. They argue that “abortion is a critical health care service” and claim exceptions for rape, incest, and to protect the life of the mother are not enough. They state:
“Health care practitioners continue to express that exceptions are too nebulous to follow and apply to actual clinical situations. These laws back us into a corner, forcing us to decide if we are willing to risk large fines, loss of licensure, and even imprisonment in order to provide necessary, life-saving, health care.” 
They conclude their op-ed by writing:
“Decisions regarding pregnancy do not belong in the state Capitol. They belong with patients and their health care practitioners. … If our political leaders allow the abortion ban to stay in place, Indiana’s future is bleak.” 
<a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=23954">Campus Reform</a> reports that Dr. Rouse has previously been accused of “skirting state laws:”
“Voices for Life, a pro-life organization headquartered in South Bend, Indiana, filed a complaint against her on Jan. 23 of this year for performing a pill abortion on a woman who was 21 weeks pregnant, according to a termination of pregnancy report. At the time, state law only permitted pill abortions up to eight week postfertilization.” 
Melanie Lyon, Executive Director of Voices for Life, stated:
“Dr. Rouse advocates for the safety of mothers and children one day, while the next she ends babies’ lives by performing abortions at Riley Maternity Tower. That along with her apparent illegal activity makes her someone the State should hold accountable: not look to for guidance.”

He also teaches Middle Eastern Studies and publishes works dealing with “public attitudes towards Muslim immigration” and the “Islamist parties’ participation in elections.”

In January 2024, Sinno was featured in the <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty-issues/shared-governance/2024/01/11/indiana-u-sanctions-professor-supporting-pro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inside Higher Ed article</a>, “Indiana U Sanctions Professor Who Advised Pro-Palestinian Students.” Sinno’s guest speaker was pro-Palestinian activist <a href="https://mikopeled.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miko Peled</a>, who has called for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel. According to his website, Peled also advocates for “the creation of one democratic state with equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians” despite the <a href="https://embassies.gov.il/holysee/AboutIsrael/the-middle-east/Pages/The%20Hamas-Covenant.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">genocidal goals</a> of the Palestinian government.

The publication explains how Sinno was temporarily <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CbFlUIN8KXaM-oLB01RcDO_1yAi2ew8n/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspended</a> after “he helped book a room on campus for a November [2023] event hosted by the Palestine Solidarity Committee, a student organization.”

Inside Higher Ed said:
“Sinno booked the event space on November 6 without issue. But on November 15 … [a U.S. representative] sent a strongly worded letter to IU president Pamela Whitten, raising questions about alleged incidents of antisemitism on campus … That evening, Sinno said, his department chair told him to cancel the room reservation because he’d allegedly violated university policy by listing the department as the event sponsor.”

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/susan-dicklitch-nelson.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Susan Dicklitch-Nelson</a> is a Professor of Government at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. Her university profile states that her “research focuses on human rights, specifically Global LGBTI human rights, civil society and democracy.” 
According to the same profile, Dicklitch-Nelson is also “the founder and Principal Investigator (PI) of the <a href="https://www.fandmglobalbarometers.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">F&amp;M Global Barometers,</a>which include the F&amp;M Global Barometer of Gay RightsTM (F&amp;M GBGR) and the F&amp;M Global Barometer of Transgender RightsTM (F&amp;M GBTR). The F&amp;M Global Barometers are part of the LGBTI Global Human Rights Initiative.”  
Moreover, Dicklitch-Nelson “launched the <a href="https://www.lgbtqiperceptionindex.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LGBTQI Perception Index</a>: the first-ever global survey that seeks to shed light on the lived human rights realities of LGBTQI individuals in 204 countries.

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

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.”\

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/christine-chalifoux.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christine Chalifoux</a> is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Africana Studies at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. Her university profile states, “Her research explores how people forge kinship bonds across ethnic lines in a city where stereotypes bear the weight of colonial and postcolonial histories. She is also interested in rethinking the notions of both caregiving and resistance, and all of her work grapples with the dialectical relationship between intimacy and resentment.”

Chalifoux was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”

Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.”

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/nicholas-montemarano.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nicholas Montemarano</a> is the Alumni Professor of Creative Writing and Belles Lettres and a Professor of English at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. 

Montemarano 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.

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

Daniel Martinez HoSang is <a href="https://politicalscience.yale.edu/people/daniel-hosang" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an Associate Professor</a> of Ethnicity, Race &amp; Migration and American Studies at Yale University. He has written many publications and focuses his work on racism and race in politics. He holds strong opinions about conservatives and has both written and lectured several times on the subject.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1633" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-05-at-2.54.00-PM.png" alt="" width="528" height="166" />

Dr. HoSang recently wrote a book with <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/josephlowndes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Joseph Lowndes</a>, who is also on the Professor Watchlist. The book, titled “<a href="https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/producers-parasites-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Producers, Parasites, Patriots: Race and the New Right-Wing Politics of Precarity</a>,” discusses white supremacy in conservative politics. In the book, Dr. HoSang accuses conservatives of being racist and participating in “multiracial white supremacy.”

According to Dr. HoSang, white conservatives work to maintain their economic power while also highlighting and praising minority conservatives in an effort to portray the concept that they aren’t racist.

Dr. HoSang has also recently become involved in K-12 learning. He was one of the founders of an organization in Connecticut called the <a href="https://antiracistteaching.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racist Teaching and Learning Collective</a>, or ARTLC. The organization works with students and teachers alike to push anti-racism, and in turn, Critical Race Theory, in K-12 schools across Connecticut. In an article for the CT Mirror, Dr. HoSang alleges that “if we want to address racism in society at large, we have to address it in policing, and housing, and health care — but we also need to address it in the 3rd grade music classroom, in the 7th grade social studies classroom.”

Dr. HoSang also leads workshops for K-12 teachers that perpetuate the ideals that racism runs deep in education and teaching across all subjects. He helps teachers create curriculum centered on anti-racism and Critical Race Theory.  In the summers of 2020 and 2021, Dr. HoSang was a core faculty member of the AAPF’s Critical Race Theory Summer School lecture series for teachers and scholars. The program’s purpose is to counter conservative and republican efforts to keep Critical Race Theory out of the classroom.

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

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

In a <a href="https://ysph.yale.edu/news-article/day-of-silence-q-and-a/">Yale article</a> titled “Day of Silence Q + A with Meredithe McNamara,” Dr. McNamara further claims that “anti-gay legislation” negatively threatens the health and rights of LGBTQ people in five ways: 
“(1) perpetuates stigma and disrupts access to healthcare…
(2) leads to social and economic marginalization…
(3) gives tacit approval for violence and harassment,
 (4) worsens mental health, and 
(5) fuels persecution.”

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

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

Solomon also co-founded the <a href="https://policingequity.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Policing Equity</a>. According to the “What We Do” page, the organization claims to “promote justice” by:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Reducing harm within existing law enforcement systems, pursuing strategies that address the racist behaviors, policies, and practices of law enforcement.” </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Redesigning and implementing new models that safeguard and empower communities to enhance and maintain collective public safety.”</li>
</ul>
In 2019, Solomon <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/dr_phillip_atiba_solomon_how_we_can_make_racism_a_solvable_problem_and_improve_policing/footnotes?referrer=playlist-talks_to_help_you_understand_r&amp;delay=2m&amp;subtitle=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presented a TEDx Talk</a> titled “How we can make racism a solvable problem — and improve policing.” In his introduction, he said:
“Police chiefs like talking to me because I’m an expert on a problem that feels impossible for them to solve: racism in their profession. Now my expertise comes from being a scientist, who studies how our minds learn to associate blackness and crime and misperceive black children as older than they actually are.”

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

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

<a href="https://www.blackstudies.ucsb.edu/people/omiseeke-tinsley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Omise’eke Tinsley</a> is Chair and Professor of Black Studies at the University of California &#8211; Santa Barbara. 
Tinsley’s faculty profile says she is “motivated by love for boundless black femme creativity, [and] her research focuses on queer and feminist, Caribbean and African American performance and literature.” In 2022, she penned a manuscript titled “The Color Pynk: Black Femme-inist Love and Criticism,” which “explores black femme aesthetics of resistance in the Trump era.” 
In an article for the <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/08/30/opinion/find-your-black-lgbtq-joy-its-your-superpower/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston Globe</a> that was co-written with her trans-gender spouse (a biological female pretending to be a male), the couple aimed to validate the “queerness” of their daughter amid alleged threats the LGBTQ community faces from American institutions:
“As a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/06/17/lgbtq-pride-violence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rise in racial and anti-LGBTQ violence</a> accompanies the rise of ‘parental choice’ bills, we have to think about the multiple ways our Black daughter is vulnerable to police violence, racial violence, and gender violence as she goes back to school. Despite moving our family from Texas to California, and transitioning from Trump’s presidency to Biden’s, we’re increasingly concerned about how much our daughter has to protect herself.”
The authors also offered four pieces of advice for their daughter at the article’s conclusion:
“1. Know YOU are never what’s broken in this crazy world; who you are can NEVER be wrong, period. Textbooks, TikToks, attitudes, assumptions all around you may be pathological; your Black queerness never will be.
&#8220;2. Assess what makes YOU feel safe, always and everywhere. Don’t do anything that seems like it will buy you more trouble than you want to handle that day. Waving rainbow flags and calling out teachers’ transphobia isn’t the most queer-positive thing you can do: Whatever protects and empowers YOU as a young Black queer person whose life matters is.
&#8220;3. Know that we have your back and other adults do, too. If you decide to express your Black queerness in a way your peers, principal, or school police don’t know how to handle, it’s our job as your parents to advocate for you. Your parents and grandparents, biological and gay aunties, coaches and cousins, will take on the brunt of those school board, parent-teacher, and community fights so you can focus on the important work of growing up.
&#8220;4. Whenever and wherever you can, have fun! Racists, homophobes, and transphobes hate Black LGBTQ joy. So, create your happiness wherever you can, knowing it’s your secret weapon for survival.”
In another <a href="https://www.advocate.com/commentary/2016/3/18/our-black-transgender-marriage-not-revolutionary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> written by the couple, titled “Our Black Transgender Marriage Is Not Revolutionary,” they write about their move from Texas to California to marry and protect themselves from “certain kinds of state interventions and…. violence.”
“We are both black queer people who now live in Texas, and our ability to legally marry is crucial to our physical and emotional safety. It shields us and our young daughter from certain kinds of state interventions and everyday violence we might otherwise be more vulnerable to. And it reminds us that we have a bond, a deep love and tenderness, that helps keep us whole and sane in a world that treats black people, queer people, transgender people, and black women as disposable.”
According to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/watch-profs-discuss-spirituality-of-non-binary-vaginas-femme-penises-and-black-queer-religions/21679" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, Tinsley appeared on a 2023 <a href="https://youtu.be/0A3ID6pPsCU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">panel</a> to “discuss the need to expand queer terminology from ‘queer’ to ‘quare.’”
Tinsley defines “Quare” as: 
“Quare… is a black-identified member of the LGBTQIA+ community who embodies resistive femininity; believes the dismantling of misogynoir, femmephobia, and transmisogyny are necessary for black freedom.” 
Regarding the vocabulary she uses in her work, Tinsley said: 
 “In my scholarship now, I use profane and vernacular language, like ‘black femme-inist,’ ‘black p***y power,’ ‘non-binary vagina,’ [and] ‘freedom dreaming’ … The loving reworking of language to hold our shifting understandings of what makes black, gender, and sexual creative folks simultaneously human and divine &#8211; which E. Patrick does by the simple mouth-opening shift of a vowel &#8211; is what I hold from quare.”

<a href="http://www.femst.ucsb.edu/people/mireille-miller-young">Dr. Mireille Miller-Young</a> is an Associate Professor of Feminist Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Miller was sentenced to three years’ probation after violently attacking a 16-year-old pro-life activist on campus. She was convicted of assault, theft, and destruction of property, but the University of Santa Barbara never fired her.

<a href="https://www.religion.ucsb.edu/people/faculty/rudy-busto/">Rudy Busto </a>is an Associate Professor at the University of California - Santa Barbara. His work is described as examining how “race structures state and civil society” and how the concept of race structures religion. 

As reported by <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=14987">Campus Reform</a>, Busto recently gave a lengthy presentation to one of his classes at the end of the semester in which he explained in detail why he believes that America is not an exceptional nation. He declared that “history has dispelled the notion of American Exceptionalism,” Busto listed off the reasons why he believed that America was no longer exceptional, including losing the Vietnam War and the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

<a href="https://www.religion.ucsb.edu/people/student/timothy-snediker/">Timothy Snediker</a> works in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He first rose to notoriety for tweeting about his desire to assassinate Jesus Christ.

Snediker’s animosity towards Christ stems from his belief that the concepts of the individual and capitalism, both of which he opposes, arose out of Christianity during the enlightenment in Europe.

In the <a href="http://jcrt.org/religioustheory/2016/05/18/theodicy-of-money-the-scene-and-subject-of-forgiveness/">Theodicy of Money - The Scene of and Subject Forgiveness</a>, Snediker writes:

“Against the standard left critique of capitalism, which presupposes a certain secularism and a certain atheism, one must rather grapple with the peculiar verve of a comment made by Giorgio Agamben: “God did not die; he was transformed into money...To the identity of Christianity and capitalism corresponds the identity of God and money….Today, it is simply not enough to be an atheist, because, in the last instance, everyone believes in money." 

As written in <a href="https://jcrt.org/archives/14.1/snediker.pdf">The Autonomy of the Now</a>, he further expands on his position:

“Our hypothesis is that, under the brutal conditions of global capitalist hegemony, resistance necessitates the affirmation of the intrinsic instability and artificiality of identity…”

“...resistance to power necessitates a two-fold refusal of the authority and sovereignty of both Christianity and Secularism…”

“Secularization is the strategic means by which the West (which is to say, Christendom, or European colonialism, or, simply, Christianity) effects its accumulations, its appropriations, and its dominations.....Christianity’s hegemony has not waned; it has metamorphosed and Metastasized."

“Christianity is the identitarian religion par excellence: it ceaselessly works to individualize, legitimate and commoditize one’s identity....this is how Christianity was constituted as a privileged instrument of power”

“Resistance to power necessitates, therefore, a restoration of the autonomy of the now, which in turn requires a two-fold counter-strategy: one the one hand, an acceptance of the instability of identity and the concurrent affirmation of our becoming-other; on the other hand, a refusal of power, which, in the era of global capitalism amounts to a critique of the secular, or, again, a critique of Christianity. “

"Our imperative is to join the struggle for subjectivity, to struggle to speak truthfully about ourselves, to discover that relation to the outside which allows us, in accordance with Nietzsche’s injunction, to become what we are—to become, in a word, anti-Christian."

Snediker’s vitriol towards Christianity exploded when asked what he would do if he could travel 2000 years back in time, he <a href="https://notthebee.com/article/asked-what-hed-do-if-he-could-go-back-in-time-religion-professor-says-easy-i-would-find-and-assassinate-jesus-of-nazareth">tweeted</a>:

“Easy. I would find and assassinate Jesus of Nazareth.” 

He then proceeded to double-down, tweeting:

“Theologically speaking, it would be really important to get him before his calling and ministry begins, so that gives me roughly a decade to make it to Palestine, locate the man, and make my move. I don’t want to be the heroic Judas avant la lettre”

Updated - April 21st, 2022

Dr. <a href="https://www.csusb.edu/profile/dny" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Yaghoubian</a> is a Professor of History at <a href="https://www.csusb.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California State University, San Bernardino</a>. 

In a series of articles and interviews reviewed by the Professor Watchlist team, Dr. Yaghoubian excuses despotic regimes around the world, demonizes the nation of Israel, and praises the terrorist group, Hezbollah. 

During <a href="https://en.mehrnews.com/news/175145/US-led-propaganda-targets-any-govt-that-opposes-US-hegemony" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one interview with Mehr News Agency</a>—an Iranian-based news station <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20061227215730/http://www.adl.org/PresRele/HolocaustDenial_83/4868_83.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">notorious for featuring segments that dispute the veracity of the Holocaust</a>—Dr. Yaghoubian offers high praise for Syrian autocrat, Bashar-al Assad. 

The professor describes him—along with Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro—as a “popularly elected leader” who is unfairly portrayed as a “thug, terrorist, criminal, and often murderer” and is just following his electoral mandate. According to Dr. Yaghoubian, Assad is vilified by Western media in part for his refusal to serve as “lapdogs” for Israeli Zionists.  

Since the Syrian Civil War erupted in 2011, Assad has been accused of <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/10-000-bodies-inside-syrian-president-bashar-al-assads-crackdown-1406315472" target="_blank" rel="noopener">torturing thousands of political dissidents and prisoners of war to death.</a>  Assad <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/27/AR2007052701117.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">further runs unopposed</a> during each election, ensuring victory.  

Dr. Yaghoubian further maligns Israel as an apartheid state that is committing ethnic cleansing of Arabs. Launching into a polemic during an interview for Tehran Times—another Iranian-owned TV station—he states that <a href="https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/460714/Selling-out-Palestine-will-not-result-in-regional-security-and" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gaza is undergoing a “murderous onslaught” by Israel</a>. 

Dr. Yaghoubian further states that Israel forces Gazans to drink poisoned water. He even goes so far as to allege the “Zionist jailers” are placing Gazans on a  caloric-restrictive diet in their “open-air prison.”

Dr. Yaghoubian maintains that Israel directs America’s foreign policy to benefit the “<a href="https://en.irna.ir/news/83255687/US-academic-Pompeo-is-a-Zionist-zealot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promotion of Zionist colonialism</a>” across the Middle East. The same article claims Israel is directing the United States’s foreign policy against the terror organization Hezbollah, whom he praises. 

Founded in 1982, Hezbollah is an Iranian-funded and directed terror organization based in Lebanon that funds itself through drug smuggling <a href="https://centerforsecuritypolicy.org/hezbollah-the-worlds-leading-narco-terrorist-organization/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">with Latin-American cartels and cells in North America</a>. The group is known for<a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/profile/131/hizballah" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> launching terror attacks across the world</a> that have claimed American lives.  

Dr. Yaghoubian urges the United States to recognize Hezbollah as a “natural ally” for stabilizing the Levant. He further lauds the group for its broad domestic support and social services. 

This is not the sole time Dr. Yaghoubian has praised Islamic fundamentalists. While condemning the <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/irans-gen-soleimani-killed-in-airstrike-at-baghdad-airport" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killing of Qasem Soleimani by an American drone strike in January 2020</a>, a subsequent article by the professor praised him as an Iranian hero. 

Soleimani was a General in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)—composed of Iran’s elite military units—until his death. The group was <a href="https://2017-2021.state.gov/u-s-designates-islamic-revolutionary-guard-corps-as-a-foreign-terrorist-organization/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designated as a foreign terrorist organization in 2019</a>.  

As commander of the Quds Force, he was <a href="https://centerforsecuritypolicy.org/qassem-soleimani-ran-ied-program-to-kill-and-maim-us-coalition-troops/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responsible for Iran’s international subversive and terrorist operations</a>. It is estimated that <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/iran-responsible-for-deaths-of-more-than-600-american-troops-in-iraq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the deaths of over 600 Americans in Iraq through roadside bombs</a> may be traced back to Soleimani and the IRGC. 

In an interview following the strike, Dr. Yaghoubian <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220122014610/https://en.abna24.com/news/gen-soleimani-assassination-motivates-axis-of-resistance-to-continue-his-path-us-academic_1215378.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alleges that Soleimani was murdered at the direction of America’s “Zionist pied pipers.”</a> He claims the attack was carried out on behalf of Israel so that Zionists may continue to conduct ethnic cleansing in Palestine. He vows the “craven murder” will only motivate an “axis of resistance” against the United States and urges other nations to follow the “heroic” path of Soleimani and Muhandes, the other IRGC general killed in the strike.    

<a href="https://www.csusb.edu/profile/dny" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to his university profile,</a> his research includes work on Modern-Iran, Iran-US relations, national identity, and minorities in the Middle East. 

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Yaghoubian for comment but has not received a reply by publication.

<a href="https://www.polsci.ucsb.edu/people/christopher-sebastian-parker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christopher Sebastian Parker P.h.D</a>. is a Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara. According to his university profile, his academic specialties are “American Politics, Identity, Race, Ethnicity, [and] Public Opinion.”

In 2013, Parker published a book about the American Tea Party movement called <a href="https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691151830/change-they-cant-believe-in" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Change They Can't Believe In: The Tea Party and Reactionary Politics in America </a>

In the book, Parker draws “connections between the Tea Party and right-wing reactionary movements of the past, including the Know Nothing Party, the Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s, and the John Birch Society,” according to the Princeton University Press overview.

In 2016, Parker <a href="https://prospect.org/power/trump-s-racist-appeals-silver-lining/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote an article</a> for The American Prospect entitled “Do Trump’s Racist Appeals Have a Silver Lining?” Parker cites his claim that Trump is racist on the former President’s <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2015/07/08/donald-trumps-false-comments-connecting-mexican-immigrants-and-crime/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement about immigrants</a> during his 2016 campaign, in which Trump said:​​“They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” 

Parker claims a new racism has emerged to replace the racism of segregation and Jim Crow:  
“With the civil-rights laws that made segregation illegal, and the death of Jim Crow in the South, this old-fashioned racism gave way to a "new racism" built not on laws but on racial stereotypes.”
He also argues ,“Certain code words often accompan[y] this new racism. In the beginning, the term "equal opportunity" was often paired with such code words and phrases as “law and order" and "welfare queen.” 

In a 2020 article called <a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/check-your-patriotism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Check your Patriotism”</a>, Parker states that the African-Americans killed by police officers, such as Sandra Bland and George Floyd,  “were effectively lynched.”

Regarding the Fourth of July, Parker wrote, “this holiday is a sham, a fraud to the 13% of the population whose forebears were slaves. By any metric, Black people remain second-class citizens. Whether it’s life <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4984780/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expectancy</a>, <a href="https://www.abebooks.com/Black-Wealth-White-New-Perspective-Racial/30080054029/bd?cm_mmc=ggl-_-US_Shopp_Trade-_-used-_-naa&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwudb3BRC9ARIsAEa-vUtyzocLl5j6TVm8N2-Jl80c8sU2x6MN9ReTaS5blYnVIvE8Uz5OLygaAg4xEALw_wcB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wealth</a> or achieving a <a href="https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/education-postsecondary/reports/2018/05/23/451186/neglected-college-race-gap-racial-disparities-among-college-completers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">college education</a>, Black people lag behind whites. (I can easily identify other criteria, but space limits recommend otherwise.)”

Yet, in the following paragraph of the article, he claims that the solution “to get the country on the right track”, is patriotism, which requires sacrifice and “commitment to the values on which the country is founded: freedom, equality, tolerance.” He claims patriotism was the motivation behind previous American progressive movements like “the women’s movement, labor movement and the civil rights movement.”

<a href="https://www.blackstudies.ucsb.edu/people/omiseeke-tinsley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Omise’eke Tinsley</a> is Chair and Professor of Black Studies at the University of California - Santa Barbara. 

Tinsley’s faculty profile says she is “motivated by love for boundless black femme creativity, [and] her research focuses on queer and feminist, Caribbean and African American performance and literature.” In 2022, she penned a manuscript titled “The Color Pynk: Black Femme-inist Love and Criticism,” which “explores black femme aesthetics of resistance in the Trump era.” 

In an article for the <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/08/30/opinion/find-your-black-lgbtq-joy-its-your-superpower/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston Globe</a> that was co-written with her trans-gender spouse (a biological female pretending to be a male), the couple aimed to validate the “queerness” of their daughter amid alleged threats the LGBTQ community faces from American institutions:
“As a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/06/17/lgbtq-pride-violence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rise in racial and anti-LGBTQ violence</a> accompanies the rise of ‘parental choice’ bills, we have to think about the multiple ways our Black daughter is vulnerable to police violence, racial violence, and gender violence as she goes back to school. Despite moving our family from Texas to California, and transitioning from Trump’s presidency to Biden’s, we’re increasingly concerned about how much our daughter has to protect herself.”
The authors also offered four pieces of advice for their daughter at the article’s conclusion:

“1. Know YOU are never what’s broken in this crazy world; who you are can NEVER be wrong, period. Textbooks, TikToks, attitudes, assumptions all around you may be pathological; your Black queerness never will be.

"2. Assess what makes YOU feel safe, always and everywhere. Don’t do anything that seems like it will buy you more trouble than you want to handle that day. Waving rainbow flags and calling out teachers’ transphobia isn’t the most queer-positive thing you can do: Whatever protects and empowers YOU as a young Black queer person whose life matters is.

"3. Know that we have your back and other adults do, too. If you decide to express your Black queerness in a way your peers, principal, or school police don’t know how to handle, it’s our job as your parents to advocate for you. Your parents and grandparents, biological and gay aunties, coaches and cousins, will take on the brunt of those school board, parent-teacher, and community fights so you can focus on the important work of growing up.

"4. Whenever and wherever you can, have fun! Racists, homophobes, and transphobes hate Black LGBTQ joy. So, create your happiness wherever you can, knowing it’s your secret weapon for survival.”

In another <a href="https://www.advocate.com/commentary/2016/3/18/our-black-transgender-marriage-not-revolutionary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> written by the couple, titled “Our Black Transgender Marriage Is Not Revolutionary,” they write about their move from Texas to California to marry and protect themselves from “certain kinds of state interventions and…. violence.”
“We are both black queer people who now live in Texas, and our ability to legally marry is crucial to our physical and emotional safety. It shields us and our young daughter from certain kinds of state interventions and everyday violence we might otherwise be more vulnerable to. And it reminds us that we have a bond, a deep love and tenderness, that helps keep us whole and sane in a world that treats black people, queer people, transgender people, and black women as disposable.”
According to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/watch-profs-discuss-spirituality-of-non-binary-vaginas-femme-penises-and-black-queer-religions/21679" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, Tinsley appeared on a 2023 <a href="https://youtu.be/0A3ID6pPsCU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">panel</a> to “discuss the need to expand queer terminology from ‘queer’ to ‘quare.’”

Tinsley defines “Quare” as: 
“Quare… is a black-identified member of the LGBTQIA+ community who embodies resistive femininity; believes the dismantling of misogynoir, femmephobia, and transmisogyny are necessary for black freedom.” 
Regarding the vocabulary she uses in her work, Tinsley said: 
 “In my scholarship now, I use profane and vernacular language, like ‘black femme-inist,’ ‘black p***y power,’ ‘non-binary vagina,’ [and] ‘freedom dreaming’ … The loving reworking of language to hold our shifting understandings of what makes black, gender, and sexual creative folks simultaneously human and divine - which E. Patrick does by the simple mouth-opening shift of a vowel - is what I hold from quare.”

<a href="http://www.brooklyn.cuny.edu/web/academics/faculty/faculty_profile.jsp?faculty=441">Laurie Rubel</a> is a professor of Secondary Education at Brooklyn College in New York. According to her university biography, Rubel’s research is focused on equity in mathematics education and the use of real-world urban contexts in the teaching of mathematics.
Much of Rubel’s work is devoted to contending that white supremacy is embedded in many aspects of this country and everyday life &#8211; from the nation’s founding, to dislike of the WNBA.

&nbsp;
Rubel’s views drew <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=15409">wide-spread attention</a> after she suggested in a <a href="https://twitter.com/Laurie_Rubel/status/1290554158421073920">tweet</a> that teaching that math “reeks” of white supremacy.
&nbsp;
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-826 size-full" src="http://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-28-at-3.37.08-PM.png" alt="" width="593" height="538" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-28-at-3.37.08-PM.png 593w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-28-at-3.37.08-PM-300x272.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px" />
&nbsp;
Her tweet was not designed to be hyperbolic in any sense. Rubel believes that white supremacy is firmly ingrained in subjects like math, and regularly reinforced in the classroom. As the co-author of <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331982850_The_Soft_Bigotry_of_Low_Expectations_And_Its_Role_in_Maintaining_White_Supremacy_through_Mathematics_Education">The Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations</a>, Rubel posits that white people have developed a racial and structural advantage in education that is consistently maintained through the teaching of mathematics. She believes that concepts like suggesting America is a meritocracy, or the idea that individuals are rewarded for hard work are inherently racist towards black students. White supremacy is no more evident, she claims, than through the ideas of “meritocracy” and “color blindness”:
“&#8230;the rhetoric of meritocracy implies that success results from hard work or talent and is not a function of the myriad of institutional structures that mediate opportunities and distribute rewards according to race and social background.”    
“Colorblindness, or the avoidance of or denial of signifying students&#8217; races in curriculum, classrooms, and schools, ignores the causes and impact of enduring racial stratification.”  
Rubel’s central thesis is that both “tools of whiteness” and subjects like math effectively disenfranchise students of color. Her argument is that racial disparities in students&#8217; scores are not because of behavior, but due to systematic racism and society’s tendency to attribute poor performance to the former, and resultant refusal to latter, reinforces a system of oppression.
As if anticipating the forthcoming criticism, she alleges that critiques of her position are emblematic of racism itself. Rubel states that her critics are “blame shifting” and attempting to ignore blatant white supremacy,
“One way that white supremacists counter critiques of racism is through a tactic known as “blame-shifting.” This tactic is a self-defense maneuver in which the white supremacists defend themselves against the charge of racism by shifting that charge onto the critique itself.” 
Commenting on Twitter, she claimed that she was a victim of “white-nationalists” criticizing her views.

&nbsp;
While taking a soon apparent shot at our nation’s borders, she further elaborates on this by employing queer theory in, “<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340000097_Queering_Mathematics_Disrupting_Binary_Oppositions_in_Mathematics_Pre-service_Teacher_Education">Queering Mathematics</a>.”  <a href="https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803100358573">Queer theory</a> is an outgrowth of critical race theory, that seeks to deconstruct traditional standards of sexuality and gender in the West.
Rubel states that queer theory can be used to deconstruct or “queer” borders that both exist between countries and within classrooms and mathematics, as both are the “site of physical, social, and cultural marginalization.” To Rubel, one example of a border is the genders assigned to students,
“Conventional borders around sex, gender, and sexuality maintain these forms of marginalization and oppression that often leads to violence in schools.”
In addition to racism, she claims that toxic masculinity is inherent in mathematics, rendering it inaccessible for women:
“The masculinization of mathematics can be understood as an exclusionary border for girls and women&#8230;because to choose to participate in mathematics means to be comfortable and to welcome participating and performing in a masculine space.”
Rational and objective thinking are derided as purely “masculine” as well. The reliance on “binary thinking” (or what is right or wrong) that is inherent in mathematics is claimed by Rubel to reinforce “borders,” between race and gender.
In order to deconstruct math and its borders, Rubel advocates “queering” math to address more social justice issues. She hopes by dismantling math, the subject will be moved away from concepts like the existence of “only one right answer” and towards more subjective “lived experiences” of students.
Rubel is very open about communicating her politics in the classroom, as it is evidenced by her tweets admitting so. When asked in a tweet what her optimal classrooms look like, Rubel revealed that she lectures her students that police regularly execute black Americans while on duty.

&nbsp;
Rubel has written extensively on using the classroom to push political ends. In an academic paper titled, “<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/336769522_Classrooms_as_Laboratories_of_Democracy_for_Social_Transformation_The_Role_of_Data_Literacy">Classrooms as Laboratories of Democracy for Social Transformation</a>,” she asserts that classrooms can be used to imbed left-wing issues into her students:
“&#8230;we outlined where data literacy is part of a collective movement toward transformation and social change.” 
Another aspect of Rubel’s envisioned social transformation is the redefining of words that she disapproves of.

Alex Vitale is a <a href="https://www.brooklyn.cuny.edu/web/news/faculty-experts/vitale-alex.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of Sociology</a> and Coordinator of the Policing and Social Justice Project at the University of Brooklyn in New York City. His areas of expertise include sociology, policing, public safety, crime, and alternatives to incarceration. He has also penned two books and often writes for publications such as The New York Times, Daily News, and USA Today.

A subject Dr. Vitale discusses often is his disdain for the police. In March of 2020, Dr. Vitale <a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/centers/wiener/programs/criminaljustice/news-events/reimagining8-alex-vitale" target="_blank" rel="noopener">delivered a speech at Harvard Kennedy School </a>about the benefits of abolishing police departments. In his lecture, he accuses the institution of policing of being systemically racist. He alleges that public education and free drug treatment will combat the war on drugs better than the police. In his opinion, these things will “actually reduce the harm of drugs… in a way that is directly the opposite of turning the problem over to police.”

Dr. Vitale has tweeted several times about the thin blue line flag. He argues that the flag is racist and a sign of white supremacy. Some of these tweets are included below:

https://twitter.com/avitale/status/1323264359129370625

https://twitter.com/avitale/status/1328098906106945537?lang=bg

In <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/144646/trump-already-wall-its-thin-blue-line" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an article published by The New Republic</a>, Dr. Vitale continues to discuss his anti-police rhetoric, and he also shares a dislike for conservatives. According to Dr. Vitale, “Policing represents a deeply conservative view of the nature of the state… the only appropriate role for the state is a repressive one, to use punitive mechanisms to coerce people into proper behavior.” He goes on to state that, “The reality is that the police exist primarily as a system for managing and even producing inequality by suppressing social movements and tightly managing the behaviors of poor and nonwhite people: those on the losing end of economic and political arrangements.”

https://twitter.com/avitale/status/1346958302249426944

Dr. Vitale has also taken to Twitter to speak negatively on white Americans. <a href="https://twitter.com/avitale/status/1059869990948614145" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In one tweet</a>, Dr. Vitale recommended that for four years only black women should be able to vote, as “white men had their go at it.” In another tweet, he shares a podcast he enjoys along with the statement, “I don't think we can over-estimate the role of patriarchy in shaping right wing extremism. It's not just about white supremacy.”

Born Ronald McKinley Everett, Dr. Karenga founded <a href="http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/45a/767.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kwanzaa as a pan-African holiday</a> in 1966. Despite that most American blacks are descended from West Africa, the name and traditions are based on East African Swahili. He would further <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/12/kwanzaa__a_madeup_holiday_.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">state the holiday’s proximity to Christmas was intentional, as otherwise it wouldn&#8217;t be noticed</a> by the black community.
People think it’s African. But it’s not. I wanted to give black people a holiday of their own. So I came up with Kwanzaa. I said it was African because you know black people in this country wouldn’t celebrate it if they knew it was American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that’s when a lot of bloods [blacks] would be partying!
Dr. Kerenga intended for Kwanzaa to replace Christian and Jewish holidays. As he wrote in his book—Kawaida Theory—Western faith, “denies and diminishes human worth, capacity, potential and achievement.&#8221; In Christian and Jewish mythology, humans are born in sin, cursed with mythical ancestors who&#8217;ve sinned and brought the wrath of an angry God on every generation&#8217;s head.”
Dr. Karenga adopted his current name after embracing black nationalism while living on the West Coast in the 1960s. He would go on to found his own group—titled, <a href="https://www.us-organization.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Organization US</a>—as a more radical alternative to his rivals in the Black Panther Party.
<a href="http://web.stanford.edu/~ccarson/articles/am_left.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Black Panthers</a>—known officially as the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense—was a black-nationalist and Marxist organization that operated largely in California during the 1960s and 1970s. Known for their violent tactics and enforcement of party discipline, members would<a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/whitewashing-the-black-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> pour boiling water over suspected </a>police informants. Co-founder, Huey Newton, is <a href="https://www.salon.com/1999/12/13/betty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspected to have taken part in multiple murders</a> committed by the Panthers.
Dr. Karenga’s organization frequently clashed with the rival, Black Panthers. Following a dispute over who would lead the Afro-American Studies Center at UCLA, <a href="https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/600011/posts?page=7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Organization US members shot two Black Panthers to death on the campus in 1969</a> which set off a series of shootings across Los Angeles that summer. The incident caused Dr. Karenga to fall into paranoia and suspect his own followers of plotting to kill him.
On the evening of May 9th, 1970, Dr. Karenga and several of his followers confronted two women who were staying at his home. He accused both of placing poison “crystals” in his food and water. According to court testimony, the women were then stripped naked, bound, and ordered to confess. Dr. Karenga tortured both women over the next two days, beating each with an electrical cord, and then branded them with a soldering iron.
While awaiting trial, Dr. Karenga’s mental health continued to deteriorate. The court-appointed psychologist found him to be schizophrenic, and reportedly caught Dr. Karenga speaking to hallucinations in his jail cell:
“Since his admission here he has been isolated and has been exhibiting bizarre behavior, such as staring at the wall, talking to imaginary persons, claiming that he was attacked by dive-bombers and that his attorney was in the next cell. During part of the interview he would look around as if reacting to a hallucination and when the examiner walked away for a moment he began a conversation with a blanket located on his bed. This man now presents a picture which can be considered both paranoid and schizophrenic with hallucinations and elusions, inappropriate affect, disorganization, and impaired contact with the environment.” 
The court later sentenced him to one to ten years in jail for two counts of felonious assault, and one count of false imprisonment. However, he was granted parole in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kwanzaa-was-invented-insane-leftist-gangster-who-michael-j-knowles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1975 thanks to a letter-writing campaign by his followers.</a>
While in jail, Karenga converted his ideology from Black Nationalism to explicit Marxism. In 1978, just a few years after his release, Dr. Karenga was hired as the Chair of the African Studies department, where he now resides as of March 2022.

California State University - Long Beach

<a href="https://www.csulb.edu/office-of-the-president/president/about">Dr. Jane Close Conoley</a>, is the current President of California State University - Long Beach. In an op-ed from 2014, Conoley stated that if you are “light-skinned” you have “significant unearned privilege.” Moreover, these privileged individuals show distrust and “lower expectations of behavior” of those with another skin color.

*Following coverage by the Professor Watchlist team, Michael Park is no longer listed as an instructor at California State University-Long Beach.*
Michael Park is an instructor at California State University-Long Beach. He used a media law class to disparage Tea Partiers and conservatives as being birthers. In an assignment, he implied that opposition to President Obama is based on a belief that he is not a "true American". This is similar to a class taught by Christopher Knap, a fellow CSULB professor that assigned a homework assignment implying Trump is homophobic/sexist.

<a href="https://www.csulb.edu/college-of-education/teacher-education/page/noah-asher-golden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Noah Golden</a> is an Associate Professor of Teacher Education at California State University, Long Beach. According to his university profile, his work “engages socio-cultural and critical approaches to literacy education, and centers on issues of equity and opportunity.” When asked about his research interests, Golden writes:
“My scholarship investigates the social positioning of minoritized students as well as these students’ endeavors to (re)position themselves along desired storylines and life trajectories. This research agenda includes the factors and sets of conditions that support student (re)positioning, including critical literacy practice, justice-oriented teacher education and activism, and responsive, strength-based teaching and learning.” 
Golden wrote an <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09523987.2017.1391523" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Critical digital literacies across scales and beneath the screen” in which he claimed that computer software helps perpetuate “systems of privilege and oppression” against minority children. In this piece, Golden wrote:
“Software plays a central role in maintaining separate and unequal educational opportunities for marginalized youth.” 
He claims software “converts lived realities, learner strengths, and communal needs into a number, cluster grouping, or other data points,” which can “produce or reproduce systems of privilege and oppression.”

He further argues that when schools use this software, “educational access and deservingness is outsourced to algorithms” that help in “maintaining racial and class privilege and contributing to the oppression of marginalized learners.”

<a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/computer-software-perpetuates-systemic-racism-prof-finds/10006" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, reporting on the article, stated:
“To fight this, Golden argues that professors of digital literacy must further explore how algorithms and software can be used to perpetuate privilege and oppression, optimistically concluding that ‘there are possibilities for interrupting these hegemonic processes.’”

<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.”

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

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

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

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

According to her University biography, Dr. Taylor is a scholar of racial inequity in public policymaking, and writes “extensively” about race, politics, and “radical activism.”

As a Professor and political commentator, Dr. Taylor offers her opinion across a wide variety of social media platforms and media outlets. She is known to condemn capitalism, the United States, and Israel while lauding socialism and the Soviet Union.

On her personal <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter account</a>, Dr. Taylor smears Israel as a racial, apartheid state that actively commits genocide against Arabs in the Middle East. In one tweet, she alleges that Israel is attempting to “annihilate” Palestine:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The introduction contains a section called Race as Technology where she states that technology is “designed to separate, stratify, and sanctify the many forms of injustice experienced by members of racialized groups, but one that people routinely reimagine and redeploy to other ends.”
<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-2358" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/PWL-QUOTES-12-e1665699428164-1024x407.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="254" />
In a <a href="https://youtu.be/rY8RkET3KC0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video discussing her reasons for writing</a> “Race After Technology,” Benjamin gave an example of how technology is racist. She said, “Two friends [were] using an automated soap dispenser and the soap wouldn’t come out [for] the individual with darker skin because darker skin absorbs light.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

<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.”

The heated discussion, which took place over Twitter, included Glaude calling Rufo’s work “insidious” and labeling Rufo a racist.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Princeton professor calls my support for colorblind equality “venomous” and “insidious.”

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

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.”
