jack-russell-weinstein

Jack Russell Weinstein

<a href="https://und.edu/directory/jack.weinstein#publications-and-presentations">Dr. Jack Russell Weinstein</a> is the Chester Fritz Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of North Dakota. Weinstein vehemently opposes those whom he calls “open carry activists.” He believes their rights are not protected under the Constitution and he encourages people to avoid those who open carry. Dr. Weinstein even suggested that those who don’t want to be around people who open carry in restaurants should just leave without paying the bill. He says, “There really is no legitimate way of determining intent….Even if the people with guns are carrying a sign claiming to be activists (which they do not do), they could be lying, just setting us all up for slaughter.”

China is the greatest existential threat that the United States currently faces. Through military, governmental, and financial fronts, the authoritarian Chinese government seeks to supplant the United States as the world’s sole superpower. None of their tactics may be more perfidious than the placement of Confucius Institutes on campuses across the country. Currently, 64 Institutes operate at American universities, high schools, and even elementary schools, serving as focal points of China’s espionage against our country. China has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to indoctrinate students with state-sponsored, communist propaganda, matched by university funds that are enabled by your hard-earned tax dollars.
Turning Point USA is standing up to the Chinese Communist Party. Through our China on Campus initiative, Turning Point USA is highlighting the infiltration of our educational institutions and halting the Chinese government in its tracks. We will locate, identify, and expose every school and professor that receives funding from the Chinese government. Through our efforts, Turning Point USA aims to close every Confucius Institute on American campuses for good.

<a href="https://education.temple.edu/about/faculty-staff/marc-lamont-hill-marchill">Marc Lamont Hill</a> is a Professor of Media Studies and Production and of Policy, Organizational, and Leadership Studies at Temple University.

In 2018, Marc Lamont Hill was <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/29/media/marc-lamont-hill-cnn/index.html">fired</a> by CNN for his anti-Israel remarks. Speaking before the UN, Hill called for a "free Palestine from the river to the sea, " which are sentiments widely understood as a call for the elimination of the state of Israel and replacement with an Arab state from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.

Hill was previously under fire for his relationship with the open anti-Semite and Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan. He has repeatedly <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/dec/18/marc-lamont-hill-stands-brother-farrakhan-we-shoul/">refused</a> to condemn Farrakhan, stating, 

“Minister <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/louis-farrakhan/">Farrakhan</a> is my brother. The idea that we have to renounce him, denounce him, throw him away … in the black tradition, I ain’t got the luxury of throwing people who love us away. I ain’t got the luxury of taking people who come out of traditions that have saved us and cleaned us and throw them away. We can’t do that. We shouldn’t do that.”

<a href="https://socanth.olemiss.edu/james-thomas/">James M. Thomas</a> is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Mississippi.
According to his university biography, his efforts are concentrated around researching “race, racism, their histories, and contemporary practices.”
During the 2018 Senate confirmation hearings of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, James Thomas <a href="https://www.wlox.com/2018/10/18/put-fingers-their-salads-ole-miss-professor-urges-harassment-senators/">tweeted</a>,
“Don’t Interrupt a Senator’s meal, y’all. Put your whole damn finders in their salads. Take their apps and distribute them to other diners. Bring boxes and take their food home with you on the way out.  They don’t deserve your civility.” 
Thomas’s tweet came in response to a viral video of <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ted-cruz-heckled-by-radical-protesters-in-dc-restaurant-video">Senator Ted Cruz</a> and his wife being heckled out of a Virginia restaurant by aggressive protestors.
Following receiving tenure from Ole Miss, James proceeded to refer to conservative teens as akin to the Hitler Youth:
“MAGA teens are modern day Hitlerjugend. Got a uniform and everything.” 
“When I said MAGA teens are the modern day Hitlerjugend, I meant it. What we’re watching at this rally is the aesthetics of fascism.” 
Ironically enough, Thomas <a href="https://olemiss.edu/aboutum/standingcommittees/commdetail.php?id=10858662&amp;n=Acad.%20Freedom%20%26%20Faculty%20Responsibility">serves</a> on the Standing Committee for Academic Freedom and Faculty Responsibility, which is charged with determining if a professor’s or academic’s academic freedom was interfered with. Thomas’s tweets pose a serious question as to whether he can remain neutral on the committee when he is asked to hold hearings on other colleagues&#8217; work or dismissal from the University.

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

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

Jesse A. Goldberg is an incoming lecturer in the English Department at Auburn University.

Self-described as a “radical anti-racist white teacher”, he has repeatedly demonized police officers on his personal <a style="color: #000000;" href="https://twitter.com/KempoJesse">social media accounts</a>, <a style="color: #000000;" href="https://yellowhammernews.com/auburn-professor-f-every-single-cop/">tweeting</a>:

“F*ck every single cop. Every single one. The only ethical choice for any cop to make at this point is to refuse to do their job and quit. The police do not protect people. They protect capital. They are instruments of violence on behalf of capital.”

In a since-deleted Facebook post, Goldberg wrote “ACAB” which stands for “all cops are bastards.” The post reads:

“ACAB. Yes, all. Police do not protect people. They protect capital. Cops are instruments of violence on behalf of capital. Literally the only ethical decision for a cop in this moment is to refuse to do their job, to quit. The only good cop is a cop who quits.”

Goldberg had previously <a style="color: #000000;" href="https://yellowhammernews.com/incoming-auburn-professor-wont-say-war-eagle-because-it-contains-the-word-war/">tweeted</a> that he refuses to say “War Eagle,” Auburn University's battle cry, due to the presence of the word “war” in the phrase.

<a href="https://www.csustan.edu/ppa/asad-abukhalil">As’ad Abukhalil</a> is a professor of Political Science, Public Administration, and Leadership Studies at California State University, Stanislaus. He has repeatedly espoused anti-Israel sentiments, support of BDS, and explicit antisemitism.
During the Coronavirus outbreak, Abukhalil <a href="https://twitter.com/asadabukhalil/status/1236722475687227392">postulated</a> that Israel would use the pandemic as a precursor to placing Arabs in concentration camps. He wrote, &#8220;Israel will—I am sure—have different medical procedures for Jews and non-Jews. Non-Jews will be put in mass prisons.&#8221;

As noted by the watchdog site <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Asad_Abukhalil">Canary Mission</a>, Abukhalil has advocated for the destruction of Israel on numerous occasions. During a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKmRSG8MDx0&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=21m56s">speech</a> at the University of Edinburgh, Abukhalil spoke about the dismantlement of Israel, saying, “My message to you is undiluted and unambiguous; if you want peace&#8230;that can only happen with the demise of Israel. With the dismantlement of the State of Israel…”
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xb4F8JpUL8&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=12m27s">During a 2013 panel</a> in Germany, he lauded the radical jihadist group Hezbollah and was subsequently applauded by those in attendance: “What drove the Israelis out of Lebanon, humiliatingly, was a non-peaceful struggle, against Israel, which was launched in 1978 by Communist Lebanese, secular Lebanese, and later was undertaken by Islamist, mostly by Hezbollah among others, and that is what drove Israel for the first time ever from an Arab territory without obtaining or forcing a peace agreement on that country.”
Abukhalil is on record numerous times expressing support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. He has <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSkI2T_9gCk&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=3m20s">explicitly stated</a> that it is his “wish” that BDS will lead to the destruction of Israel and subsequent replacement with an Arab state, “&#8230;.they will say that I said that the aim of BDS is the elimination of Zionism in Palestine and the liberation of all of Palestine. I never said that. I wish that was true.” 
In the same speech at the University of Texas, Abukhalil <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSkI2T_9gCk&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=10s">lamented</a> how unpopular his message was with American audiences, claiming that  “&#8230;there have been limits on expression about Palestine in this country and these restrictions and the parameters of debate about Palestine have only gotten worse over the years since I came to this country…” 
Abukhalil seamlessly substitutes “jews” for “Zionists” at multiple points during his lecture. He later <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSkI2T_9gCk&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=2m35s">expanded on this assertion</a>, claiming that the former is actively silencing his freedom to advocate for the destruction of Israel, “The Zionists have become quite effective in intimidating people in academia, in the media, as well as in, they have done their work in intimidating people in Congress…”  Abukhalil has previously made similar <a href="https://www.memri.org/tv/lebanese-american-professor-asad-abukhalil-incitement-saudi-media-ignored-due-israeli-alliance">statements</a>, claiming that “zionists” attempt to silence his “hatred” towards Israel. He claims that “The Zionists want to muzzle us so that we won&#8217;t oppose the wars, violence, or hatred of Israel.”
Although Abukhalil seems to value the importance of the First Amendment, a closer examination reveals that he only defends freedom of speech when it immediately benefits him or his cause. In 2006, riots engulfed the Muslim world after a Danish paper published a series of cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad. Abukhalil appeared on Democracy Now! to defend the riots. During the segment, he refrained from explicitly condemning the riots and attempted to justify the actions of the rioters. He even <a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2006/2/7/freedom_of_speech_or_incitement_to=43m49s">justified </a>the violence, stating,  “&#8230;This is why the entire defense in the name of freedom of speech doesn’t sell very much in the Arab world. People very much know that offenses against Muslims and Arabs are often treated as defensible because they are in the name of freedom of speech…”  
This is not the first time that Abukhalil has attempted to draw a moral equivalence between the West and radicals in the Middle East. In a 2019 interview with The Real News Network, he lambasted the “arrogance” of the United States for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=97&amp;v=Ivt4CDgu4LE&amp;feature=emb_logo">declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization</a>. He accused the US of killing more civilians than the Taliban, stating, “So when the US is killing more civilians than the Taliban, it certainly should not have the moral authority to judge and label an organization on the basis of their terrorism.”

Dr. Lewin recently came under fire for her passionate response to a campus-wide email sent by the College Republicans. The email was an advertisement for “Conservative Coming Out Week!” Lewin, in a fit of rage, replied, “F@#$ YOU, REPUBLICANS.” Not only was she outraged that Republicans were active on campus, but she also did not approve of their event names nor the use of the phrase “coming out.”
