Dr. <a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carol Anderson</a> is the <a href="http://aas.emory.edu/home/people/bios/anderson-carol.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charles Howard Candler Professor and Chair of African American Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.emory.edu/home/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emory University</a> in Atlanta, Georgia. She has ascribed the passage of the Second Amendment to white supremacy, and accused conservatives of trying to make America a “whites only” nation.
Dr. Anderson is the author of, “<a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/the-second" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America</a>.” The book alleges the true purpose of the Second Amendment is the denial of rights to African Americans.
In a subsequent interview with CNN, Dr. Anderson claims the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/30/us/second-amendment-guns-anti-black-anderson-blake/index.html?utm_term=link&amp;utm_source=twCNN&amp;utm_content=2021-06-01T03%3A42%3A56&amp;utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">intention of the right to keep and bear arms was ultimately to empower militias to keep black Americans, “under the boot” of white supremacy</a>. At one point, she claims the second amendment is about “anti-blackness”, or antithetical to the well-being and rights of African-Americans:

She further states that America’s gun culture is fueled by a “fear” of black people and that “anti-blackness” courses through our nation&#8217;s history.
Dr. Anderson first rose to national prominence in 2014 for her Washington Post article attributing the Ferguson Riots to “white rage.”
The unrest stemmed from an altercation involving Michael Brown and police officer Darren Wilson. Brown had been pulled over by Wilson over suspicion of his involvement in a strong-arm robbery in a nearby convenience store. During the stop, witnesses testified that <a href="https://nypost.com/2014/08/19/witnesses-say-ferguson-teen-attacked-cop-before-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brown attempted to grab Officer Wilson’s gun</a> before turning and running away. When ordered to halt, Brown turned and charged Officer Wilson, who then fatally shot Brown in self-defense.
Although Wilson was later exonerated for his actions,<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hands-up-dont-shoot-makes-wapos-list-of-outlandish-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Black Lives Matter activists promoted the false narrative that Brown was shot with his hands up while attempting to surrender.</a> After a grand jury declined to indict Officer Wilson, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2850383/A-town-ravaged-anger-pictures-extent-damage-buildings-Ferguson.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rioters and looters burned stores and restaurants across the city of Ferguson</a>, Missouri.
In the piece, Dr. Anderson <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ferguson-wasnt-black-rage-against-copsit-was-white-rage-against-progress/2014/08/29/3055e3f4-2d75-11e4-bb9b-997ae96fad33_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">insinuates that riots are effective as the only method that residents of Ferguson can utilize to make their voices be heard.</a> Stating the “real rage” is represented in the attempts by conservative movements and police to disenfranchise African-Americans. She dismisses the destruction as not a product of “black rage”, but rather the “latest outbreak of “white rage.”
The article was later expanded into the book, “<a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/white-rage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Rage, The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide</a>.” When Emory University featured the book on their website, Dr. Anderson further defined white rage as, “<a href="https://news.emory.edu/stories/2016/05/upress_white_rage_anderson/campus.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">policymakers and a series of courts systematically undercut the advancement of African Americans</a>.” Dr. Anderson would go on to author an article for Time Magazine accusing “patriots” who are afflicted with &#8220;white rage&#8221; 0f <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170421064019/https://time.com/4573307/donald-trump-white-rage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trying to make America a “whites only” county</a> and attempting to revive a “Jim Crow nation.”

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

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

Dr. Abeer AbouYabis is a physician at Emory Winship Cancer Institute and an assistant professor at the Emory School of Medicine. According to her professional biography, AbouYabis specializes in “the treatment of hematologic disorders and malignancies.”

In October 2023, Dr. AbouYabis was <a href="https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/emory-physician-placed-on-leave-due-to-alleged-antisemitic-remarks-on-social-media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">placed on leave</a> pending an investigation by the university after she posted antisemitic comments on her social media profiles. After Israel was attacked by the terrorist group Hamas in October 2023, AbouYabis attended a pro-Palestinian rally with the Emory University group Students for Justice in Palestine and <a href="https://twitter.com/StopAntisemites/status/1714098926637257049" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted on her social media</a>:

<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3280" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Screen-Shot-2023-11-08-at-10.48.19-AM-749x1024.png" alt="" width="640" height="875" />

Dr. AbouYabis referenced the <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/10/07/hamas-terrorists-paraglide-into-israeli-territory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas paragliders who attacked civilians</a> at an Israeli music festival saying, “They got walls we got gliders glory to all resistance fighters.”

Her social media profiles have since been made private and her university profile has been removed. Dr. AbouYabis told <a href="https://www.ajc.com/education/emory-professor-placed-on-leave-after-antisemitic-comments/VUP5H42T2BGH5IU7FWWLX2R7BU/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Atlanta Journal-Constitution</a> that she finds it difficult to respond to being placed on leave because she is unsure which comments led to the decision. She also said she has never advocated or endorsed “any kind of violence.”

Laura Diamond, a spokesperson for Emory University, released the following statement to <a href="https://www.ajc.com/education/emory-professor-placed-on-leave-after-antisemitic-comments/VUP5H42T2BGH5IU7FWWLX2R7BU/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Post</a>:
“We condemn such comments in the strongest possible terms and have immediately placed this individual on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.”
“As we navigate difficult conversations, our expectation is that all members of the Emory community continue to demonstrate empathy and treat each other with dignity and respect. There is no place in our community for language and behavior based in hatred, that incites violence, and that is counter to the values that unite us as educators and health practitioners.”

<a href="https://gsws.sas.upenn.edu/people/jonathan-d-katz">Dr. Jonathan Katz</a> is an Associate Professor of Associate Professor of Practice and the History of Art at the <a href="https://www.upenn.edu/">University of Pennslyvania</a>. According to his university biography, Katz’s positions deal with the “intersections of art history and queer history.”
In a 2016 article, Professor Katz<a href="http://www.buffalo.edu/ubnow/stories/2016/06/katz-orlando.html"> blamed</a> conservatives for the Pulse Nightclub shooting that claimed 49 lives. He wrote, “What we are trying to do here is camouflage the root of the problem, which is a long history of violent political rhetoric and homophobic policies by Republican officials and their conservative allies.”
Rather than Islamic Terrorism, he argued that anti-gay bigotry from the Christian right is a greater threat than ISIS.
Katz had previously<a href="https://www.catholicleague.org/the-american-taliban-catholic-league-2/"> referred</a> to The Catholic League, the nation’s largest Catholic civil rights organization, as “the American Taliban.”

University of Pennsylvania Professor <a href="https://rels.sas.upenn.edu/people/anthea-butler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anthea Butler</a> penned an MSNBC <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/olympics-2024-apology-christians-last-supper-elon-musk-mike-johnson-rcna164008" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion editorial</a> responding to the controversial 2024 Olympics' opening ceremony where “transgender” performers mocked Leonardo da Vinci’s depiction of The Last Supper.

Butler offered the following explanation in light of the sacrilegious production:
“[I]t wasn’t about the Last Supper at all. The so-called re-enactment was a scene of a bacchanal, a fest of the Greek god Dionysus …  Thell that, though, to those unable to see the scene outside the lens of their conservative religious convictions … Tolerance, sadly, isn’t what conservatives are noted for, especially since many of them deemed the 2024 Olympics ‘woke.’”
She further claimed that Christians have a “limited” worldview that “doesn’t consider views that fall outside their faith.”

Butler has a history of demonizing Christianity, including this quote from <a href="https://www.amazon.com/White-Evangelical-Racism-Politics-Morality/dp/1469661179?asin=B08JG7NHXQ&amp;revisionId=37269deb&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1">her book</a>, “White Evangelical Racism: The Politics of Morality in America” :
“White Evangelical Racism tells a concise history of the evangelical movement and—here is the hard part—the racist and racial elements that imbue its beliefs, practices, and social and political activism. It is racism that binds and blinds many white American evangelicals to the vilification of Muslims, Latinos, and African Americans … Racism is a feature, not a bug, of American evangelicalism.”
In response to the outrage among religious conservatives after viewing the Olympics ceremony, Butler <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/olympics-2024-apology-christians-last-supper-elon-musk-mike-johnson-rcna164008" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>:

_____________
<a href="https://africana.sas.upenn.edu/people/anthea-butler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anthea Butler</a> is an Associate Professor of African and Religious Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, where she also serves as Interim Chair of the Department of Religious Studies.

Identity Politics

Butler advocates for professors to strike on the job in order to promote social justice causes. First tweeting her support for an NBA-style<a href="https://www.sportsnet.ca/nba/article/emotional-frustrated-raptors-discussed-boycott-wake-jacob-blake-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> strike</a> to protest “police violence,” Butler then created her own strike aimed at school and university staff called “Scholar Strike.” 

<a href="https://www.scholarstrike.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instructing</a> professors and faculty members of colleges and universities to walk out of their positions and teaching duties for two days, Scholar Strike intends to “call awareness to the racial climate in America, and the rash [sic] of police shootings and racialized violence.” As a result, hundreds of academics<a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2020/08/28/professors-plan-strike-racial-justice"> pledged</a> to join the strike.

In a 2020 Twitter thread, Butler also<a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=15673" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> describes</a> conservatives as “craven and evil.” She levels<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/ivy-league-professor-award-carson-coon-of-the-year" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> attacks</a> against Dr. Ben Carson as the  “the coon of the year” over comments he made regarding the confederate flag.<a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ben-Carson" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Dr. Ben Carson</a> is a renowned neurosurgeon who served as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under the Trump Administration.

Butler believes that conservative candidates continue to receive support en masse from evangelicals due to fear.<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/white-evangelicals-love-trump-aren-t-confused-about-why-no-ncna1046826" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Writing</a> for NBC News, Butler accuses conservatives of voting in order to preserve what political power they still have. Historically a dominant force, Butler states, evangelicals turn to authoritarians like Trump in order to protect themselves from societal change. She continues, stating that this is not a unique phenomenon, as Evangelicals have a long history of supporting racist movements and institutions.

The core of Butler’s popular authorship is her allegations of the overlap between evangelicalism and white supremacy, having written a book entitled,<a href="https://uncpress.org/book/9781469661179/white-evangelical-racism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> White Evangelical Racism</a> explaining this indictment.

During the same interview, Butler claims that evangelicals believe that police are “ordained” by God to kill black people.

<a href="https://gsws.sas.upenn.edu/people/jonathan-d-katz">Dr. Jonathan Katz</a> is an Associate Professor of Associate Professor of Practice and the History of Art at the <a href="https://www.upenn.edu/">University of Pennslyvania</a>. According to his university biography, Katz’s positions deal with the “intersections of art history and queer history.”

In a 2016 article, Professor Katz<a href="http://www.buffalo.edu/ubnow/stories/2016/06/katz-orlando.html"> blamed</a> conservatives for the Pulse Nightclub shooting that claimed 49 lives. He wrote, “What we are trying to do here is camouflage the root of the problem, which is a long history of violent political rhetoric and homophobic policies by Republican officials and their conservative allies.”

Rather than Islamic Terrorism, he argued that anti-gay bigotry from the Christian right is a greater threat than ISIS.

Katz had previously<a href="https://www.catholicleague.org/the-american-taliban-catholic-league-2/"> referred</a> to The Catholic League, the nation’s largest Catholic civil rights organization, as “the American Taliban.”

<a href="https://mshp.med.upenn.edu/people/nadia-dowshen-md-mshp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nadia Dowshen</a> is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania. She is also the co-founder of the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania’s (CHOP) Sexuality and Gender Development Clinic. According to her university profile, the clinic provides medical and psychosocial support to more than 500 gender variant children and adolescents.

The Post Millennial reports that Dr. Dowshen <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/chops-gender-clinic-founder-says-age-is-just-a-number-when-advocating-for-double-mastectomies-for-healthy-14-year-old-girls" target="_blank" rel="noopener">testified before the Pennsylvania Health Committee</a> in a September 2020 hearing titled “Appropriate Care Models for Transgender Adolescents.” During the hearing, Representative David Zimmerman asked Dowshen what would be the youngest age that her clinic would refer a girl for a double mastectomy, or the removal of a girl's healthy breasts.

Dowshen replied that the majority of bilateral mastectomies performed at the clinic are performed on girls ages 16 through 18 but that she would refer children “as young as age 14.” She justified her decision by saying:
“I think it’s really important to remember that age is a number. As an adolescent medicine and development specialist, we know that where a child is cognitively and socially is more important than the exact number of their age.” 
Dr. Dowshen also commented on puberty blockers for children, stating “the major medical intervention that is considered fully reversible is puberty blocking medication.” <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/watch-chop-gender-clinic-co-founder-praises-rachel-levines-initiatives-for-medical-transition-of-minors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Post Millennial</a> reports that puberty blockers can cause brain swelling, vision loss, stunted growth, cognitive issues, and bone density loss, among other problems. When combined with cross-sex hormones, they can lead to sterility and a lack of sexual function.

During the Q&amp;A portion of the hearing, Dr. Dowshen admitted that the clinic <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/childrens-hospital-of-philadelphia-perform-medical-gender-transition-on-minors-in-foster-care" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accepts referrals from youth homeless shelters and the foster care system.</a> When asked by Representative Pamela A. Delissio how children “find their way” to the Gender and Sexuality Development Clinic, Dowshen replied:
“We are really getting referrals from a variety of resources. We’re also getting a lot more referrals from other institutions … Sometimes from within the foster care system, the mental health system, through homeless shelters for youth.” 
Dr. Dowshen co-published an op-ed for the Philadelphia Inquirer titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211227195726/https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/transgender-athletes-sports-ban-pennsylvania-new-jersey-20210610.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“‘They just want the chance to play’: Reject transgender sports bans.”</a> The article states:
“The authors of bills to deny trans youth these opportunities say they want to protect other children and, particularly, prevent transgender girls from having what they say is an unfair advantage over other girls.” 
Dowshen then argues that there are not biological differences between girls and boys in sports:
“But these claims are based on misunderstandings of biology and hormones, have not been backed by any concrete examples of unfair athlete advantage, and are irrelevant to K-12 school sports.”

According to his university profile, Lett is a transgender woman who “applies the theory and principles of Black feminism to understanding the health impacts of systemic racism, transphobia, and other forms of discrimination on oppressed groups in the United States.”

Lett is also a <a href="https://www.appliedtransstudies.org/about/fellows" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fellow at the Center for Applied Transgender Studies (CATS)</a>, “the leading academic organization dedicated to scholarship on the social, cultural, and political conditions of transgender lives.” According to the <a href="https://www.appliedtransstudies.org/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">center’s website</a>, their mission is to inform “policy-making and public discourse in ways that improve quality of life for the transgender community.”

Lett was quoted in a September 2021 article for STAT titled, <a href="https://www.statnews.com/2021/09/23/health-equity-tourists-white-scholars-colonizing-health-disparities-research/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“‘Health equity tourists’: How white scholars are colonizing research on health disparities.”</a> The paper discusses how the field of health equity research has grown in recent years, but argues “researchers with little or no background or training in health research, often white and already well-funded, are rushing in to scoop up grants and publish papers.”

Lett states, “For this to be ethical and just, it requires you to redistribute some of your privilege and benefit.”

The article goes on to discuss a study, led by a white author, that “documented the lack of black medical school faculty.” STAT claims the study had similar findings to a study published three years earlier by black researchers, including Lett. In response to this, Lett says:
“It is troubling that a white man, who has had every privilege conferred on him, is writing a paper about the plight of Black academics. He is extracting from our pain for his career advancement.”

According to her university profile, Norton’s research interests include “identity and history, gender and race, colonialism and post-colonialism, and tradition and revolution.”

Professor Norton has been outspoken about her support for the student-led <a href="https://www.fossilfreepenn.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fossil Free Penn</a> club. In November 2019, she <a href="https://www.thedp.com/article/2019/11/fossil-free-penn-fossil-fuels-ivy-league-upenn-philadelphia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed an open letter supporting the group</a> after the club interrupted a Board of Trustees meeting and demanded a town hall meeting with leadership about fossil fuel divestment.

The letter reads:
“While not all of us agree on every tactic the students may employ, we as faculty urge our colleagues and University administrators to hear them out, engage them constructively, and take much bolder action.”
It continues:
“Further, we believe that Penn should join the list of universities that have divested from fossil fuels, signaling an institutional commitment to the goals set forth by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in October 2018.” 
In April 2022, Norton <a href="https://www.thedp.com/article/2022/04/49-penn-faculty-support-ffp-encampment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed another letter</a> in support of Fossil Free Penn — the activist group had camped out for six days on campus to urge the university “to take a leadership role in stabilizing the world’s climate.” The letter says: “We believe that student activists are right to call for Penn to do more and we support their peaceful protest.”

In June 2021, Professor Norton signed a “statement of concern” titled <a href="https://www.newamerica.org/political-reform/statements/statement-of-concern/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Threats to American Democracy and the Need for National Voting and Election Administration Standards.”</a> The letter was circulated by New America, a liberal think tank, and signed by professors from across the country. The statement says:
“State legislatures have advanced initiatives that curtail voting methods now preferred by Democratic-leaning constituencies, such as early voting and mail voting. Republican lawmakers have openly talked about ensuring the “purity” and “quality” of the vote, echoing arguments widely used across the Jim Crow South as reasons for restricting the Black vote.” 
The letter acknowledges it is “always far better for major democracy reforms to be bipartisan,” but argues that in the “current hyper-polarized political context such broad bipartisan support is sadly lacking.” The statement ends with a call to action:
“We urge members of Congress to do whatever is necessary - including suspending the filibuster - in order to pass national voting and election administration standards that both guarantee the vote to all Americans equally, and prevent state legislatures from manipulating the rules in order to manufacture the result they want.”

<a href="https://hss.sas.upenn.edu/people/beans-velocci">Beans Velocci</a>, who uses the pronouns ‘they/them’, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of History and Sociology of Science and Core Faculty in Gender, Women’s and Sexuality Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.

Velocci describes her work as using “queer, trans, and feminist methods to interrogate classification systems and how they become regarded as biological truths, primarily in the nineteenth- and twentieth-century United States and its colonial and white supremacist context.”

In a Penn Today article titled, “<a href="https://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/going-beyond-binary-historical-explorations-sex-and-gender">Going beyond the binary in historical explorations of sex and gender</a>,” Velocci describes how she first became interested in the field. She recounts being in an undergraduate course and reading a book called “Herculine Barbin,”—“a memoir of a person described as a ‘hermaphrodite.’” Velocci says:
“And it was in that moment that I was like, ‘There’s not something wrong with me. The issue is that gender is constructed!’” 
Velocci says she began plotting a career path with the goal, “to be a historian and destroy the gender binary with history and primary source analysis.”

When asked by Penn Today about the relevancy of her work, Velocci says:
“I don’t have the privilege to not be relevant; state legislators are making it impossible not to be. I hope the conversations we have in class help my students think about and make sense of what’s going on in the world right now.” 
In June 2020, Velocci wrote an article titled “<a href="https://avidly.lareviewofbooks.org/2020/06/04/these-uncertain-times/">These Uncertain Times</a>.” In this piece, she argues that much of what the news and social media classify as ‘uncertain’ is rather ‘inconvenient knowledge’ or ‘manufactured ignorance’ that someone is benefitting from. To provide an example, she claims:
“The US government acknowledging that people aren’t so easily classified as male and female would, at the very least, mean they would have to find something to do other than legislate against trans people trying to pee in public (maybe they could have spent that time preparing for a pandemic instead).” 
Velocci argues that “Covid-19 is disproportionately killing black and brown people” and “the Trump administration has spent the pandemic thus far artificially lowering the caseload numbers by refusing to make testing widely accessible (how’s that for manufactured ignorance).” She claims:

<a href="https://gsws.sas.upenn.edu/people/mae-eskenazi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mae Eskenazi</a> is a Graduate Associate in the Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies Department at the University of Pennsylvania.

Eskenazi is teaching a fall 2023 course titled, “Intro to Disability Studies.” According to the course description, this class “fuses disability studies, queer theory, Black feminist theory, visuality studies, film theory, and disabled artistic practices.”

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3048" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Screen-Shot-2023-06-14-at-1.12.12-PM.png" alt="" width="605" height="773" />

<a href="https://www.thedp.com/article/2023/06/disability-studies-new-fall-course" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Pennsylvanian</a> reports, “Eskenazi said that the questions explored through the course remain extremely relevant to the contemporary world, particularly amid the COVID-19 pandemic, current financial precarity, and ‘ongoing racialized and gendered logics of colonialism and imperialism.’” Additional <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/penn-disability-studies-course-to-fuse-visuality-studies-queer-black-feminist-and-film-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course topics</a> include crip theory, the AIDS epidemic, and sensorial artistic practice, among others.

When discussing the course, Eskenazi stated:
“Disability, debilitation, and illness are facets of everydayness, so I hope that this course removes disability from the visual spectacle that it causes and instead posits lived experiences of disability and debilitation into everyday life for the students who are studying.” 
According to Eskenazi’s university profile, she is a “transgender person” who uses they/them pronouns. Her profile reads,
“Mae Eskenazi (they/them) is a visual artist and ritualist whose interdisciplinary approach extends across sculpture, lens-based media, installation, plant medicine, and performance. Calling upon lineages of disabled/trans carework, Mae is interested in the enmeshment of BDSM, the medical industrial complex, mobility, and disability as it relates to biopolitical surveillance, control, and dichotomies of pain/pleasure. 
Curious about the invocation of the somatic and haptic, their work situates itself within questions of grief, memory, and collective amnesia as it unfolds beyond teleological temporalities within trans, disabled, chronically ill, and queer life.” 
Her <a href="https://www.meskenazi.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal website</a> features several pieces of her “work,” including the “(Im)Mobility Appendage.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3049" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Screen-Shot-2023-06-14-at-1.43.36-PM.png" alt="" width="605" height="453" />

The description reads,
“(Im)Mobility Appendage is a live performance that explores the tension between the visible wound and the tacit wound. Over the course of one hour, viewers watch a kneeling figure get pierced twenty-six times followed by each piercing being strung to the wall like outstretched wings. The performance calls upon viewers to actively bear witness to the intimacy and eroticization of pain.” 
Eskenazi’s other works include projects titled “The Tetherings” and “Offerings to Bob Flanagan” among other less family-friendly projects that can be found on her website.

<a href="https://www.english.upenn.edu/people/melissa-e-sanchez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Melissa Sanchez</a> is the Donald T. Regan Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Pennsylvania. She’s also the Director of the <a href="https://gsws.sas.upenn.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Program in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies</a> and the <a href="https://gsws.sas.upenn.edu/center/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Research in Feminist, Queer, and Transgender Studies</a>. According to her university profile, Sanchez’s research and literature focuses on “feminism, queer theory, and sixteenth- and seventeenth-century literature.”

Sanchez is the author of three books.“<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Queer-Faith-Promiscuity-Tradition-Cultures/dp/1479840866" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queer Faith</a>: Reading Promiscuity and Race in the Secular Love Tradition” reassesses “key texts of the pre-history of modern monogamy - from Paul to Luther, Petrarch to Shakespeare - to show that writing assumed to promote fidelity in fact articulates the perversity of desire and the elusiveness of self-knowledge.”

Her other books are “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Shakespeare-Queer-Theory/dp/1474256678" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shakespeare and Queer Theory</a>” and “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Erotic-Subjects-Sexuality-Politics-Literature/dp/0199754756" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Erotic Subjects</a>: The Sexuality of Politics in Early Modern English Literature.” The latter “examines how sixteenth- and seventeenth-century writers used scenarios of erotic violence and cross-gender identification to explore the origins and limits of political allegiance.”

In April 2022, Sanchez participated in one of the School of Arts and Sciences “<a href="https://www.facebook.com/PennSAS/videos/60-second-lecture-melissa-sanchez/1309588992779918/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">60-Second Lectures</a>.” She discussed why the executive board of the Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies Program (GSWS) changed the name of their research center to the Center for Research in Feminist, Queer and Transgender Studies (FQT Center).
“This change was meant to signal a more inclusive understanding of who our center is for, and more explicitly to demonstrate the center’s and the program’s commitment to solidarity with all women and all sexual and gendered minorities across campus.” 
Sanchez said GSWS and the FQT Center have a particular focus on “trans affirmative policies.” She discusses her opinion on the supposed lack of all-gender bathrooms on campus and the difficulty of accessing gender-affirming care. Sanchez claimed:
“These conditions in higher education are but a piece of a national climate in which the human rights and dignity of trans, non-binary and gender nonconforming persons are at best neglected and at worse willfully violated.” 
After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Sanchez was quoted in an article titled, “‘<a href="https://www.thedp.com/article/2022/07/abortion-penn-philadelphia-supreme-court-roe-wade-upenn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A gut punch</a>’ Penn community reacts to uncertainty of abortion rights in Pennsylvania.” Sanchez stated:
“The ruling was like a gut punch, and in other ways it was exactly what I was expecting and exactly what’s been coming for decades. [This ruling is] not so much like a turning point as a culmination of what’s been happening since the 1970s. It’s more like a nail in the coffin.” 
Sanchez is also an outspoken supporter of <a href="https://www.thedp.com/article/2019/11/fossil-free-penn-fossil-fuels-ivy-league-upenn-philadelphia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">divesting from fossil fuels</a>. In November 2019, students from Fossil Free Penn interrupted the University’s Board of Trustees meeting to demand that administrators agree to a town hall meeting with students about fossil fuel divestment. In the wake of this incident, several faculty—including Sanchez—signed an open letter to the university that stated, in part:
“At the very least, the University leadership should agree to the town hall that the students are calling for and commit to a candid and open-minded deliberative dialogue on this uniquely pressing issue. Further, we believe that Penn should join the list of universities that have divested from fossil fuels, signaling an institutional commitment to the goals set forth by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in October 2018.”

Magill’s statement referred to the Hamas attacks as a “terrorist assault” and clarified the university’s stance on the Palestine Writes Literature Festival:
“The University did not, and emphatically does not, endorse these speakers or their views. While we did communicate, we should have moved faster to share our position strongly and more broadly with the Penn community.” 
In <a href="https://www.thedp.com/article/2023/10/penn-walkout-palestine-rally-march-magill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">response to Magill’s comments</a>, Fakhreddine said, “[The statement] was a complete shock to me. I could not fathom that in the midst of actual literal genocide being broadcasted live on the air, [Magill] had time and energy to write that letter without a single mention of Palestine.”

On October 27, 2023, Fakhreddine posted a petition titled “<a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfklLdVWlH1yNSK3T4mINpIhbx8T6uiBxReVOMhTNb9EbitRQ/viewform" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Academics Against the Assault on Gaza</a>” on her <a href="https://twitter.com/FakhreddineHuda/status/1717946669004710374" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter account</a>, with the message “Sign and Circulate.” The letter states:
“We are concerned academics watching with horror as Israel subjects 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, more than half of them refugees, to industrial-scale violence of unfathomable proportions, to war crime after grotesque war crime, to siege and starvation.”
“We say, ‘Enough!’ No to another forced mass displacement of Palestinians! No to fascist incitement! No to the sadistic collective punishment of a captive population! No to this nihilistic and gainless war!” 
Fakhreddine <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfOnCRPGqU6IMiq9p_2xthefc9g8R_3UE0UOpXc6nlAO_FL_g/viewform" target="_blank" rel="noopener">circulated another statement</a> on <a href="https://twitter.com/FakhreddineHuda/status/1714944831649182082" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> that stated:
“Israel is a racist apartheid regime. It hates innocence so kills children. It hates the truth so kills journalists. It hates nature so uproots olive trees.”
It concludes:
“We, the undersigned, take this opportunity to stand with our people in Gaza, in particular, and Palestine in general, in solidarity with their legendary resilience and their struggle in defense of their historical right to their land. We salute their courageous stance against the forces of colonization, fascism, and racism.”

<a href="https://creative.writing.upenn.edu/people/ahmad-almallah" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ahmad Almallah</a> is a Palestinian poet and artist in Residence in the Creative Writing and English departments at the University of Pennsylvania.

On October 16, 2023, Almallah <a href="https://www.jns.org/upenn-fire-your-antisemitic-professors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">participated in a walkout</a> on the University of Pennsylvania’s campus to “protest the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza.” Almallah was the first faculty member to speak at the rally and shared that he had missed two of his classes to be present at the event.

Professor Almallah led chants of “from the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free” and “resistance is justified, when you are occupied.” <a href="https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/upenn-palestine-rally-what-the-editorials-wont-post/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Times of Israel</a> writes,
“The former implies a desire for a Palestinian state between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, and, consequently, the erasure of the State of Israel entirely. The latter seems to justify Palestinian terrorism without qualification, be it bombing civilians on buses or murdering entire families in Israeli villages.” 
Almallah told the crowd:
“When for 17 years, a piece of earth was removed from the world, only to sustain the slow murder of its jailed population … its mothers who have been giving birth to human animals, according to the other side. SHAME!” 
He concluded his speech by shouting “Intifada, intifada, intifada,” which has long been a Palestinian call to murder Jews and Jewish Israelis. The protest lasted roughly seven hours, with protesters waving Palestinian flags and <a href="https://www.algemeiner.com/2023/10/18/israeli-jew-has-bastardized-judaism-pro-palestinian-rally-upenn-descends-antisemitism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chanting slogans</a> such as, “Israel, Israel, you can’t hide, we caught you in genocide.”

Almallah told <a href="https://www.thedp.com/article/2023/10/penn-walkout-palestine-rally-march-magill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Pennsylvanian</a> he wanted to participate in the event because he wanted to “do something to reaffirm [his] humanity.” He also told the newspaper, “I feel as though I am a lonely Palestinian, that nobody has reached out from the institution or extended any words of sympathy to me.”

<a href="https://gsws.sas.upenn.edu/people/sophie-lewis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sophie Lewis</a> is a visiting scholar at the Center for Research in Feminist, Queer, and Transgender Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. According to her university profile, her scholarship “operates in the spheres of trans feminist cultural criticism and queer social reproduction theory, and [her] interests include utopian critiques of the family, Marxist feminisms, Black radicalism and antiwork theory.” Lewis authored “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Abolish-Family-Manifesto-Care-Liberation/dp/1839767197" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation</a>” which makes the case for family abolition. She also wrote “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Full-Surrogacy-Now-Feminism-Against/dp/1786637294" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family</a>” which advocates for higher rates of surrogacy to “overthrow” the family.

After Hamas terrorists attacked Israel in October 2023, Lewis <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=24238" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed a statement</a> titled, “Writers in Solidarity with Palestine.” The letter begins, “We are writers who unequivocally stand with Palestine and its fight for liberation against the illegal occupation of ‘Israel’ and the violent settler colonial apartheid state.”

Some of the letter’s claims include: 
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“The west is actively backing the ongoing settler colonial project that endorses either a slow or fast genocide, but is genocide either way.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Any form of Palestinian resistance is in no way equivalent to the daily violence of ‘Israeli’ settlers, the IOF (‘Israeli’ Occupying Forces), and the entire ‘Israeli’ state apparatus. Palestinian resistance exists because settler colonial occupation exists.” </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“The resistance is an ongoing response to a long history of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.” </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Politicians at all levels of government internationally, primarily those in the west, are deliberately weaponizing islamophobic and orientalist language in order to manufacture consent for genocide in Palestine, heighten surveillance and policing domestically, and suppress any manner of showing solidarity with Palestine.” </li>
</ul>
The writers end with several “calls to action” for the signatories and their institutions, including: 
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“To stand in firm, vocal, and unwavering solidarity with Palestinian resistance against their occupation until liberation, by amplifying Palestinian voices in a time of mass disinformation and silencing; and by openly discussing the occupation in your workplace, home, on social media, in your work.” </li>
</ul>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“To boycott all other literary institutions who profess Zionist affiliations.” </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“To engage with the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, a Palestinian-led movement to end international support for ‘Israel’s’ oppression of Palestinians and all institutions complicit in ‘Israeli’ apartheid and settler colonialism.” </li>
</ul>
The statement has since been removed but can still be found on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231019194337/https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UVp2E4VoBgXTOYDs6BAAWI8fiaEUqFLOHoN50LKy4oI/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">internet archives</a>.

<a href="https://www.asc.upenn.edu/people/faculty/dwayne-booth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dwayne Booth</a> is a Lecturer at the Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. Booth, who goes by the pen name Mr. Fish, joined the faculty in 2015 and has been a cartoonist for 20 years.

Booth came under fire after the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/penn-lecturer-is-behind-grotesque-anti-semitic-cartoons/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Free Beacon</a> discovered political cartoons about the Israel-Hamas war that were posted on his website. The Free Beacon reports:
“[Booth] has published several anti-Semitic cartoons since Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack, including one that depicts Zionists sipping Gazan blood from wine glasses, a version of the ancient blood libel employed in anti-Semitic propaganda that accused Jews of using the blood of Christian children for baking matzah and other rituals.” 
<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3421" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Screen-Shot-2024-02-14-at-9.56.23-AM-1024x820.png" alt="" width="640" height="513" />

Another cartoon shows Jews in a Nazi concentration camp holding signs with slogans such as “Free Palestine” and “Gaza, The World’s Biggest Concentration Camp.”

<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3422" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Screen-Shot-2024-02-08-at-2.04.24-PM-1024x775.png" alt="" width="640" height="484" />
Several more examples of Booth’s cartoons can be seen below:

<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3423" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Screen-Shot-2024-02-08-at-2.05.25-PM-1024x931.png" alt="" width="640" height="582" />

In <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/dwayne-booth-penn-political-cartoons-antisemitism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">response to Booth</a>, Penn’s Interim President J. Larry Jameson wrote:
“I will not, and should not, respond to every event on our campus, but I want it understood that these political cartoons, posted on a personal website, were not taught in the classroom and do not reflect the views of the University of Pennsylvania or me, personally. I find them reprehensible, with antisemitic symbols, and incongruent with our efforts to fight hate.” 
Jameson added:
“At Penn, we have a bedrock commitment to open expression and academic freedom, principles that were unanimously reaffirmed last week by our Faculty Senate Executive Committee. We also have a responsibility to challenge what we find offensive, and to do so acknowledging the right and ability of members of our community to express their views, however loathsome we find them.”
In a follow-up article, the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/penn-president-will-not-act-to-remove-anti-semitic-cartoonist-from-faculty-citing-bedrock-commitment-to-open-expression/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Free Beacon</a> criticized Jameson’s response, saying he made it clear the university would not act to discipline or remove Booth from the faculty:
“Jameson’s tepid response … raises questions about whether the school has implemented meaningful changes in the wake of former president Liz Magill’s dismissal in December and the establishment of a task force on anti-Semitism.” 
In response to the university’s statement, Booth <a href="https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/penn-lecturer-criticized-for-creating-reprehensible-antisemitic-cartoons/3766737/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defended his comments</a> and argued that work could be “misread.”
“Political artists have always had to grapple with the possibility that a misreading of their work, willing or otherwise, could disrupt the intention and usability of their commentary, thereby complicating the trajectory of whatever debate might follow.” 
“In the case of the international conversation about the current war in Gaza, it will be impossible to have a substantive debate over the specifics and potential outcomes so long as there remains a lazy conflation that makes the State of Israel and the politics that guide its actions as a nation inseparable from Judaism, itself.” 
On February 5, 2024, Booth <a href="https://www.thedp.com/article/2024/02/penn-lecturer-political-cartoons-antisemitism-controversy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released a cartoon</a> entitled “Quiet!” which showed Uncle Sam with his hand over a person’s mouth. The caption read, “Critical thinking is bad for America.”

<a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/people/core-faculty/reiland-rabaka" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Reiland Rabaka</a> is a Professor of Africana Studies as well as Critical Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality Studies in the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Ethnic Studies</a> at the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Colorado at Boulder</a>. He also serves as <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/humanities/reiland-rabaka" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of Humanities</a> in the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/artsandsciences/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">College of Arts and Sciences</a>.
Dr. Rabaka identifies publicly as a “democratic socialist” and a scholar of fields such as “black radical politics,” decolonial theory, and critical race theory. His lectures depict the United States as an inherently white-supremacist nation and herald the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as a necessary counter to systematic racism.
In a video sponsored by the university, Dr. Rabaka describes American society as having <a href="https://www.coursera.org/lecture/antiracism-2/dr-reiland-rabaka-interventions-in-racist-terminologies-qp12a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">culminated in the “social, economic, spiritual, and cultural” death of black people</a>. He attributes this to our nation&#8217;s alleged addiction to “black death.”
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video">
<video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-1" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-America-is-addicted-to-Black-Death.mp4?_=1" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-America-is-addicted-to-Black-Death.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-America-is-addicted-to-Black-Death.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
He repeated this accusation during a lecture for Florida Gulf Coast University’s <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/ccres/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Critical Race and Ethnic Studies</a>. During the event—hosted by professor and the Center Director, <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/directory/tthornhill">Dr. Ted Thornill</a>—Dr. Rabaka <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsS6RAfiesI&amp;ab_channel=FGCUUniversityMarketingCommunications" target="_blank" rel="noopener">characterizes the nation as a “colonial project” that was built on racial and economic enslavement</a>.
To learn more about Dr. Thornhill, readers can view his <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/tedthornhill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profile on TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist</a>.
Dr. Rabaka addresses BLM at length during the Q&amp;A section, characterizing the movement as a response to the nation’s “deeply entrenched racism.” At one point, a member of the audience asks Dr. Rabaka how he would respond if BLM was characterized as a terrorist organization; Rather than answer the question, he proceeds to deflect and counter that Christopher Columbus should be considered a terrorist for committing a “holocaust” against Native Americans. He denounces both the Founding Fathers and Pilgrims in his tirade, accusing each of participating in “racial terrorism.”
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-2" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-the-Pilgrims-are-terrorists.mp4?_=2" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-the-Pilgrims-are-terrorists.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-the-Pilgrims-are-terrorists.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
Continuing, he urges “white administrators” to invest in BLM-themed curriculums and workshops in order to raise consciousness about the movement. Dr. Rabaka <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/asmagazine/2021/03/02/black-lives-matter-course-aims-foster-campus-transformation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personally teaches a BLM-themed course at UC-Boulder</a>.
BLM was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the acquittal of George Zimmerman for his murder. Although purporting to be a civil-rights organization, the movement has been tied to violent confrontations and riots across the country.
According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Federalist</a> found, “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>
Throughout his lecture, Dr. Rabaka praises Angela Davis and Assata Shakur, whose work he considers instrumental to the BLM movement. Shakur is a former <a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/black-lives-matter-praising-terrorist-assata-shakur/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">member of the Black Liberation Army and convicted cop killer</a>. She currently resides in Cuba as a guest of the communist government; authorities have offered 2 million dollars for her capture.
Angela Davis is a former vice-presidential candidate for the Communist Party and early member of the Black Panther Party. Davis is notoriously known for <a href="https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/hollywoods-undying-love-communist-angela-davis-arnold-ahlert/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">her role in the Marin County Civic Center Attack, which left 4 dead</a>.
To learn more about Angela Davis, users can view her <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angeladavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profile on TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist</a>.
Another individual Dr. Rabaka praises in his lecture is scholar W.E.B Du Bois. A prominent author at the turn of the 20th century, Du Bois was a life-long adherent to communism, going <a href="https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/biographies/1953/03/16.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">so far as to eulogize Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin after his death in 1953</a>.
In a separate lecture at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Reiland+Rabaka+" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Rabaka lauds Du Bois specifically for his contributions to socialism</a>. At one point, the professor displays pictures of Du Bois meeting with Nikita Khrushchev and Mao Zedong, hailing both as proof of Du Bois international standing.
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-3" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabka-Du-Bois-and-Mao-.mp4?_=3" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabka-Du-Bois-and-Mao-.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabka-Du-Bois-and-Mao-.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Mao-Zedong">Mao</a>—who chaired the Chinese Communist Party from 1935 until his death in 1976—is widely considered one of the deadliest heads of state in history–<a href="https://www.heritage.org/asia/commentary/the-legacy-mao-zedong-mass-murder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an estimated 65 million Chinese perished from his regime</a>. Mao&#8217;s deadliest campaign—referred to as the “Great Leap Forward”—<a href="https://www.hudson.org/research/7342-mao-s-great-leap-forward-and-the-power-of-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">caused an estimated 40 million to die from starvation and overwork in labor camps</a>.
All three lectures are listed at the bottom of the profile in full.

Dr. <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/people/core-faculty/jennifer-ho">Jennifer Ho</a> is a Professor of Asian American Studies and Director of the Center for Humanities &amp; the Arts at the University of Colorado-Boulder. According to her university <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/people/core-faculty/jennifer-ho">biography</a>, Professor Ho’s research interests include cultural studies, intersectionality, critical race studies, anti-racist theory, and critical mixed race studies.

Critical Theory, or Critical Race Theory, is an intellectual branch of Marxism that alleges American society and all of its founding institutions are infected with white supremacy. Furthermore, proponents of Critical Race Theory believe that people should take proactive steps to dismantle these institutions in the name of equity, which is also referred to as being “anti-racist.” Some Critical Race Theorists, such as Nikole Hannah-Jones, also <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/">claim</a> that America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England.

In an <a href="https://theconversation.com/white-supremacy-is-the-root-of-all-race-related-violence-in-the-us-157566">article</a> for The Conversation, titled, “White Supremacy is the Root of all race-related violence in the US,” Professor Ho alleges that all hate crimes committed in the United States are the result of white supremacy. The article is her response to the March 16th, 2021 <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/3-dead-shooting-georgia-massage-parlor-suspect-loose-n1261262">mass shooting</a> of massage parlors in Atlanta, George, that killed eight people, six of them being Asian-Americans.

Professor Ho attributes not just the March 2021 Atlanta shootings to white supremacy, but she actually attributes all hate crimes to white supremacy, regardless of whether or not they were committed by a white person. In the same <a href="https://theconversation.com/white-supremacy-is-the-root-of-all-race-related-violence-in-the-us-157566">article</a>, Professor Ho lists a series of anti-Asian hate crimes perpetrated by black men before stating that white supremacy is the cause for all of them.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1381 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-05-24T162337.311-e1621898679178-1024x381.png" alt="" width="580" height="216" />

Professor Ho further <a href="https://theconversation.com/white-supremacy-is-the-root-of-all-race-related-violence-in-the-us-157566">describes</a> white supremacy as an ideology “ingrained” into American institutions and the driving force behind the dehumanizing of Asian-Americans as well Black Americans.

The University of Colorado-Boulder features Professor Ho’s work on the College of Arts and Science’s website, in a <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/asmagazine/2020/04/08/anti-asian-racism-and-covid-19">web page</a> titled, “Anti-Asian Racism and Covid-19”. In addition to claiming that “millions” of unarmed black men have been killed by police, Professor Ho also alleges that it is also racist to state that COVID-19 originated in China.

Updated - May 2021

<a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/people/core-faculty/reiland-rabaka" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Reiland Rabaka</a> is a Professor of Africana Studies as well as Critical Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality Studies in the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Ethnic Studies</a> at the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Colorado at Boulder</a>. He also serves as <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/humanities/reiland-rabaka" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of Humanities</a> in the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/artsandsciences/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">College of Arts and Sciences</a>.

Dr. Rabaka identifies publicly as a “democratic socialist” and a scholar of fields such as “black radical politics,” decolonial theory, and critical race theory. His lectures depict the United States as an inherently white-supremacist nation and herald the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as a necessary counter to systematic racism.

In a video sponsored by the university, Dr. Rabaka describes American society as having <a href="https://www.coursera.org/lecture/antiracism-2/dr-reiland-rabaka-interventions-in-racist-terminologies-qp12a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">culminated in the “social, economic, spiritual, and cultural” death of black people</a>. He attributes this to our nation's alleged addiction to “black death.”

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-America-is-addicted-to-Black-Death.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

He repeated this accusation during a lecture for Florida Gulf Coast University’s <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/ccres/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Critical Race and Ethnic Studies</a>. During the event—hosted by professor and the Center Director, <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/directory/tthornhill">Dr. Ted Thornill</a>—Dr. Rabaka <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsS6RAfiesI&amp;ab_channel=FGCUUniversityMarketingCommunications" target="_blank" rel="noopener">characterizes the nation as a “colonial project” that was built on racial and economic enslavement</a>.

To learn more about Dr. Thornhill, readers can view his <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/tedthornhill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profile on TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist</a>.

Dr. Rabaka addresses BLM at length during the Q&amp;A section, characterizing the movement as a response to the nation’s “deeply entrenched racism.” At one point, a member of the audience asks Dr. Rabaka how he would respond if BLM was characterized as a terrorist organization; Rather than answer the question, he proceeds to deflect and counter that Christopher Columbus should be considered a terrorist for committing a “holocaust” against Native Americans. He denounces both the Founding Fathers and Pilgrims in his tirade, accusing each of participating in “racial terrorism.”

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-the-Pilgrims-are-terrorists.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Continuing, he urges “white administrators” to invest in BLM-themed curriculums and workshops in order to raise consciousness about the movement. Dr. Rabaka <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/asmagazine/2021/03/02/black-lives-matter-course-aims-foster-campus-transformation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personally teaches a BLM-themed course at UC-Boulder</a>.

BLM was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the acquittal of George Zimmerman for his murder. Although purporting to be a civil-rights organization, the movement has been tied to violent confrontations and riots across the country.

According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Federalist</a> found, “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

Throughout his lecture, Dr. Rabaka praises Angela Davis and Assata Shakur, whose work he considers instrumental to the BLM movement. Shakur is a former <a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/black-lives-matter-praising-terrorist-assata-shakur/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">member of the Black Liberation Army and convicted cop killer</a>. She currently resides in Cuba as a guest of the communist government; authorities have offered 2 million dollars for her capture.

Angela Davis is a former vice-presidential candidate for the Communist Party and early member of the Black Panther Party. Davis is notoriously known for <a href="https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/hollywoods-undying-love-communist-angela-davis-arnold-ahlert/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">her role in the Marin County Civic Center Attack, which left 4 dead</a>.

To learn more about Angela Davis, users can view her <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angeladavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profile on TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist</a>.

Another individual Dr. Rabaka praises in his lecture is scholar W.E.B Du Bois. A prominent author at the turn of the 20th century, Du Bois was a life-long adherent to communism, going <a href="https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/biographies/1953/03/16.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">so far as to eulogize Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin after his death in 1953</a>.

In a separate lecture at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Reiland+Rabaka+" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Rabaka lauds Du Bois specifically for his contributions to socialism</a>. At one point, the professor displays pictures of Du Bois meeting with Nikita Khrushchev and Mao Zedong, hailing both as proof of Du Bois international standing.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabka-Du-Bois-and-Mao-.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Mao-Zedong">Mao</a>—who chaired the Chinese Communist Party from 1935 until his death in 1976—is widely considered one of the deadliest heads of state in history–<a href="https://www.heritage.org/asia/commentary/the-legacy-mao-zedong-mass-murder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an estimated 65 million Chinese perished from his regime</a>. Mao's deadliest campaign—referred to as the “Great Leap Forward”—<a href="https://www.hudson.org/research/7342-mao-s-great-leap-forward-and-the-power-of-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">caused an estimated 40 million to die from starvation and overwork in labor camps</a>.

All three lectures are listed at the bottom of the profile in full.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Rabaka for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

<a href="https://www.ou.edu/cas/psc/faculty/shortle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Allyson Shortle</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at The University of Oklahoma. According to Shortle’s <a href="http://www.allysonshortle.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, her research “examines group identity dynamics in the context of American political behavior.” 
Her recent projects consist of “the nexus of race, nationalism, and political behavior.” On her website, she states, “I also often examine the race-gendered dynamics of criminal justice attitudes using experimental methods.” 
&nbsp;
Shortle has a variety of publications, such as:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/everyday-crusade/34A0EF92928EB4E3AC25B014B6DF0FFC#fndtn-information" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Everyday Crusade: Christian Nationalism in American Politics</a> (2022 – w. Eric L. McDaniel and Irfan Nooruddin). This text “examines the relationship between American religious exceptionalism and prejudicial and antidemocratic attitudes.” </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1532673X10371300" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Divine Boundaries: How Religion Shapes Citizens’ Attitudes Toward Immigrants</a> American Politics Research (January 2011. McDaniel, Eric L., Irfan Nooruddin, and Allyson Shortle). The article “argue[s] that religion affects immigration attitudes via a distinct religiously informed interpretation of America’s national identity, which we call Christian nationalism. Christian nationalists believe that America has a divinely inspired mission and link its success to God’s favor. Using social identity complexity theory, we argue that citizens who ascribe to this worldview should be least tolerant of those they perceive as symbolic threats to American national identity.”</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/21565503.2022.2065320" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ethnocultural or generalized? Nationalism and support for punitive immigration policy</a> (Ana Bracic, Mackenzie Israel-Trummel, and Allyson Shortle). The description reads: “We argue that ethnocultural forms of nationalism—beliefs about religious, ethnic, and gendered criteria for “true Americanness”—help explain support for family separations.”</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11109-018-9446-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Is Sexism for White People? Gender Stereotypes, Race, and the 2016 Presidential Election</a> (Ana Bracic, Mackenzie Israel-Trummel &amp; Allyson F. Shortle). The description states: “This paper offers the first observational test of how sexism affects presidential vote choice in the general election, adding to the rich literature on gender and candidate success for lower-level offices. We argue that the 2016 election implicated gender through Hillary Clinton’s candidacy and Donald Trump’s sexist rhetoric, and activated gender attitudes such that sexism is associated with vote choice.”</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/christian-nationalism-threatens-democracy-experts/story?id=91866475" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC News</a> asks Shortle: What does Christian nationalism mean for American democracy?
&#8220;I think democracy is on the line here as a result of the threats from Christian nationalism &#8230; yes, it&#8217;s a minority ideology, but we don&#8217;t see a lot of opposition to it,&#8221; she states.
Additionally, in an interview with <a href="https://www.kgou.org/show/capitol-insider/2022-08-26/rise-of-christian-nationalism-influences-political-discourse-and-elections-in-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KGOU News</a>, Shortle states: 
“Well, in my own research, I&#8217;ve definitely found higher rates of white Christian Nationalism in Oklahoma than other parts of the country. So, using some Oklahoma nonprofit survey collectors through places like Sooner Poll, for instance, I found higher rates than when I run a national poll asking the same metrics of white Christian Nationalism. And not just how you define American identity, but also these particular myths of American religious exceptionalism that people adhere to &#8211; that America is God&#8217;s chosen nation, for instance, America was picked by God to lead all other countries. These are American exceptionalist ideals, but they&#8217;re also ideals that Christian Nationalists use to maybe speak to other Christian Nationalists without others knowing. Right?”
Professor Shortle offers a variety of courses, such as Public Opinion, Immigration Politics, Identity Politics, and more.

Kelli Alvarez is an <a href="https://www.ou.edu/cas/fyc/people/faculty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Assistant Teaching Professor</a> at the University of Oklahoma. Her areas of interest include race and ethnicity in literature and film as well as indigenous and other ethnic literature. Alvarez teaches freshman-level courses, including English Composition, where she requires all students to read a publication by Professor Watchlist identified <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/ibramxkendi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ibram X. Kendi</a> titled, “When Free Speech Becomes Unfree Speech.”

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1762" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-1.16.41-PM.png" alt="" width="456" height="211" />

When Alvarez isn’t teaching first-year composition courses, she is <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/07/classroom-censorship-comes-to-the-university-of-oklahoma/">leading workshops</a> for fellow teachers and professors on “anti-racist rhetoric &amp; pedagogies.” Over the summer of 2021, Alvarez led a classroom censorship workshop discussing how to “set an anti-racist tone” in the classroom and ultimately silence certain students. During the workshop, she discussed how particular students are emboldened to be overly racist in the classroom, both in-person and through their writing. She said that while some teachers may be afraid to tell students they can’t say something in class, teachers absolutely have the right to tell students to be quiet and stop talking.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Alvarez.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Alvarez goes on to claim that the Supreme Court ruled that hate speech is not protected by the U.S. Constitution. She states, “the Supreme Court has actually upheld that hate speech, derogatory speech, any of the -isms do not apply in the classroom because they do not foster a productive learning environment.”

According to <a href="https://www.freedomforuminstitute.org/about/faq/what-rights-to-freedom-of-expression-do-students-have/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Freedom Forum Institute</a>, The Supreme Court ruled in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969) that students “do not shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech and expression at the schoolhouse gate.”

Later in the lecture, Alvarez discusses a concept called “white institutional defensiveness,” which she describes as conditions that force non-white students to conform and assimilate to whiteness or else risk consequences. Alvarez asserts that not allowing non-white students to write in ABE style (Adult Basic Education) is racist and perpetuating white supremacy.

According to the Division of Adult and Career Education, ABE style is meant for native English-speakers with limited literacy, below a 9th grade level. The video of the entire workshop can be viewed <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byxl61VDYp8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.

<a href="https://www.law.ou.edu/directory/steven-j-cleveland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Steven J Cleveland</a> is the Alfred P. Murrah Professor of Law and Thomas P. Hester Presidential Professor at the<a href="https://law.ou.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> College of Law at the University of Oklahoma (OU</a>).

During the 2022 Spring Semester, the University of Oklahoma implemented strict mandates on students and faculty to limit the spread of COVID-19. Dr. Cleveland is currently enforcing these policies in his classroom to such an extreme extent that students are threatened with being removed from class and reported to the Dean of the school for not wearing a mask.

Upon returning for the Spring 2022 semester, students were informed by <a href="https://www.normantranscript.com/news/ou-requiring-masks-for-first-two-weeks-of-classes/article_704a7026-723a-11ec-aa7b-139ccc6f40da.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the university’s administration they will be forced to wear face masks</a> in classroom settings until February 1 when masks will then become<a href="https://www.ou.edu/together/campus-protocols/spring-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> strongly recommended.</a>

This mandate is in direct contradiction with Oklahoma state law. In May of 2021, Governor Kevin Stitt <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/05/29/oklahoma-gov-kevin-stitt-bars-agencies-mask-vaccination-mandates/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned any state agency or building–including public universities–from requiring either a mask or vaccination status for entry</a>.

Nevertheless, professors at OU are still enforcing mask mandates and threatening to penalize students who do not comply with the restrictions. In communications reviewed by the Professor Watchlist team, professors are removing maskless students from class and threatening their grades due to the forced absences. Others refuse to even meet with students who are unvaccinated and will report unmasked students to their respective Dean.

One student, Alyssa Amundsen, vowed to defy the university mandates. She emailed each of her professors in the law school explaining that she would not wear a mask in class under any circumstance. While some professors were accommodating, many were not, and refused to allow her to attend in person.

Dr Cleveland was the most resistant to grant any exemptions. Amundsen was barred from attending class despite obtaining a medical exemption from wearing a mask last year from her doctor.

Amundsen emailed Dr. Cleveland to ask if she could attend class without a mask. Dr. Cleveland immediately refused her request and threatened to report her to the Dean of the Law School if she made a maskless appearance.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1939" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IMG_9808-1-680x1024.png" alt="" width="450" height="678" />

&nbsp;

Amundsen then offered to take the class remotely via ZOOM since the course is already recorded for students who are absent due to COVID. Despite this, Dr. Cleveland again refused, stating that “taking a stand for her beliefs has consequences.”

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1942" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IMG_9810-2-707x1024.png" alt="" width="450" height="652" />

&nbsp;

n a follow-up conversation with two Deans of the law school—Dr. Steven Gensler and Dr. Kathleene Guzman—Amundsen was still adamant to reach a compromise. Both told her there is no recourse she and can only attend in-person classes while wearing a mask per university rules. She was eventually forced to drop the class or risk having her grade reduced due to her absences.

While an injunction has been placed on Governor Stitt’s executive order, the Judge <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/oklahoma-school-mask-mandate-ban-blocked-exemptions-79769836" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruled that schools must include an “opt-out.” So far, OU has provided no such opt-out</a> for students and staff.

The Professor Watchlist team has reached out to Dr. Cleveland but has not received a reply by the time of publication.

&nbsp;
UPDATE
Following publication, the Professor Watchlist team has received the following statement from Mackenzie Scheer, Director of Media Relations at the University of Oklahoma, in regards to our inquiry.

"Since the onset of the pandemic, OU has sought to implement protocols that will protect our community, while also allowing for our in-person experience to continue. Given the transmission rate of Omicron and supply chain issues around testing, OU instituted a temporary addendum to its existing masking policy, requiring masking in all classrooms through Jan. 31. Beginning Feb. 1, the university reverted to its Fall 2021 masking guidance that expects masking in the classroom and requires masking for a two-week quarantine period when a confirmed positive COVID-19 case in the class is identified. While the university does not grant exemptions, it does evaluate requests for accommodations in certain cases. Students in need of accommodations due to health or religious reasons were instructed by law school administrators to contact the <a href="mailto:OU%20Accessibility%20and%20Disability%20Resource%20Center" target="_blank" rel="noopener">OU Accessibility and Disability Resource Center</a> at <a href="mailto:adrc@ou.edu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">adrc@ou.edu</a> or (405) 325-3852. All accommodation decisions are made on a case-by-case basis after considering each individual’s circumstance and in accordance with all applicable laws. Once a request has been approved, instructors are responsible for providing a student’s reasonable accommodation."

As stated in The College Fix, “Tamera Nealy, a student at the University of Oklahoma, said she believes the course sounds like it may be taught in a divisive manner and add to racial unrest on campus.”

<a href="https://www.ou.edu/cas/wgs/people/faculty/traci-brynne-voyles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Traci Brynne Voyles</a> is a Professor and Chair of Women’s and Gender Studies at The University of Oklahoma. Her university profile states that she is a “historian of colonialism, race, and environment...” Voyles's research includes the study of North America from the nineteenth through the twenty-first centuries.

Voyles’s new book, <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Settler_Sea/nCtEEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Settler Sea: California’s Salton Sea and the Consequences of Colonialism</a> covers a variety of topics on white settlers, oppression, environmental injustice, and more. The text states: “Rather than erasing white settlers’ relationships to (and oppression of) other non-Native people of color, those relationships of enslavement, racialized labor, and criminalization on an ‘inherited background field’ of Native dispossession…. (44) In its most fundamental formulation, environmental injustice occurs when people who are marginalized by racism, classism, settler colonialism, or heteropatriarchy are disproportionately targeted to bear the burdens of environmental harm. (45)” 

Another one of her publications, <a href="https://borderlandshistory.org/2016/06/14/cfp-not-just-green-not-just-white-race-justice-and-environmental-history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Not Just Green, Not Just White: Race, Justice, and Environmental History</a> (with Mary E. Mendoza) reads: “Race is a critical component to the study of environmental injustice, but environmental history, until very recently, has tended to leave out questions of race.”

A third publication is titled <a href="https://nyupress.org/9781479894567/sustainability/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Man Destroys Nature? Gender, History, and the Feminist Praxis of Situating Sustainabilities.” In Sustainability: Approaches to Environmental Justice and Social Power</a> (edited by Julie Sze, 196–215. New York: New York University Press, 2018. 19 pages.) This text is a “critical resource for approaching sustainability across the disciplines[.]”

&nbsp;

In a Q&amp;A conducted by <a href="https://edgeeffects.net/traci-brynne-voyles-anti-vaccination/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Edge Effects</a>, Voyles talks about environmentalism, white supremacy, racism, and more. She states:
“But my research showed that it is also deeply racist.  In fact, the notion of pure and unpolluted white bodies is a key part of how environmental racism proceeds. The protection of purity from any kind of contamination has been a mechanism by which toxins are diverted into nonwhite spaces and how this distributional injustice is rationalized as common sense…”

<a href="https://www.ou.edu/cas/psc/faculty/shortle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Allyson Shortle</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at The University of Oklahoma. According to Shortle’s <a href="http://www.allysonshortle.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, her research “examines group identity dynamics in the context of American political behavior.” 

Her recent projects consist of “the nexus of race, nationalism, and political behavior.” On her website, she states, “I also often examine the race-gendered dynamics of criminal justice attitudes using experimental methods.” 

&nbsp;

Shortle has a variety of publications, such as:
<ul>
 	<li><a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/everyday-crusade/34A0EF92928EB4E3AC25B014B6DF0FFC#fndtn-information" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Everyday Crusade: Christian Nationalism in American Politics</a> (2022 – w. Eric L. McDaniel and Irfan Nooruddin). This text “examines the relationship between American religious exceptionalism and prejudicial and antidemocratic attitudes.” </li>

McDaniel, Eric L., Irfan Nooruddin, and Allyson Shortle). The article “argue[s] that religion affects immigration attitudes via a distinct religiously informed interpretation of America’s national identity, which we call Christian nationalism. Christian nationalists believe that America has a divinely inspired mission and link its success to God’s favor. Using social identity complexity theory, we argue that citizens who ascribe to this worldview should be least tolerant of those they perceive as symbolic threats to American national identity.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/21565503.2022.2065320" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ethnocultural or generalized? Nationalism and support for punitive immigration policy</a> (Ana Bracic, Mackenzie Israel-Trummel, and Allyson Shortle). The description reads: “We argue that ethnocultural forms of nationalism—beliefs about religious, ethnic, and gendered criteria for “true Americanness”—help explain support for family separations.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11109-018-9446-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Is Sexism for White People? Gender Stereotypes, Race, and the 2016 Presidential Election</a> (Ana Bracic, Mackenzie Israel-Trummel &amp; Allyson F. Shortle). The description states: “This paper offers the first observational test of how sexism affects presidential vote choice in the general election, adding to the rich literature on gender and candidate success for lower-level offices. We argue that the 2016 election implicated gender through Hillary Clinton’s candidacy and Donald Trump’s sexist rhetoric, and activated gender attitudes such that sexism is associated with vote choice.”</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;

<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/christian-nationalism-threatens-democracy-experts/story?id=91866475" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC News</a> asks Shortle: What does Christian nationalism mean for American democracy?
"I think democracy is on the line here as a result of the threats from Christian nationalism ... yes, it's a minority ideology, but we don't see a lot of opposition to it," she states.
Additionally, in an interview with <a href="https://www.kgou.org/show/capitol-insider/2022-08-26/rise-of-christian-nationalism-influences-political-discourse-and-elections-in-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KGOU News</a>, Shortle states: 
“Well, in my own research, I've definitely found higher rates of white Christian Nationalism in Oklahoma than other parts of the country. So, using some Oklahoma nonprofit survey collectors through places like Sooner Poll, for instance, I found higher rates than when I run a national poll asking the same metrics of white Christian Nationalism. And not just how you define American identity, but also these particular myths of American religious exceptionalism that people adhere to - that America is God's chosen nation, for instance, America was picked by God to lead all other countries. These are American exceptionalist ideals, but they're also ideals that Christian Nationalists use to maybe speak to other Christian Nationalists without others knowing. Right?”
Professor Shortle offers a variety of courses, such as Public Opinion, Immigration Politics, Identity Politics, and more.

Assistant Professor of Education, <a href="https://marsal.umich.edu/directory/faculty-staff/charles-hf-davis-iii" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charles H.F. Davis III</a>, once appeared on the Jesse Lee Peterson podcast to discuss race relations in America and the pro-Palestinian movement that was taking place on college campuses. 

In the following discussion from 2018, the host pointed out how Davis included several hashtags (#) on his <a href="http://hfdavis.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, such as #FreePalestine and #FreethePeople. When asked why he did not include #FreetheJews on that list, Davis replied: 
“Well, I guess we could talk about in a particular context, and I think we have to think about what Jews we’re talking about. I’ve chosen to take those particular political stances based on the historical record, based on the social and political context that we find ourselves in today …

Davis’ <a href="http://hfdavis.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> —which now includes #BlackLivesMatter and #PoliceFreeCampus — contains several short essays and articles calling for an end to campus policing.

Davis spreads anti-American and anti-white ideologies through his course “Race, Racism and Anti-Blackness,” in which he says, “[The] course is a deep dive into understanding how systemic racism and structural racism function in society and in higher education contexts.”

For years, Davis’ <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hfdavis/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">social media</a> feeds have been full of racial ideology as well as anti-Jewish and anti-police rhetoric. Using the <a href="https://twitter.com/hfdavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter handle</a> “Palestine Will Be Free,” he also posted support for the pro-Palestinian campus protests that started in April 2024.

When asked if he wanted to “eliminate whiteness,” Davis said, “I want to destroy whiteness to be more specific.” When asked to define whiteness, he declared:
“Whiteness is an ideological construct … it’s a set of behaviors, beliefs, and practices that not only normalize the white way of seeing the world but white way of doing society. That structure has proven to be violent towards people of color … 
“So, I think that needs to be destroyed in order for the liberation of the people of color from white supremacy to take place. Now, to be sure, that is not to conflate whiteness with white people — although all white people do benefit from whiteness.”

Charles H.F. Davis is an Assistant Professor at the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education at the University of Michigan. He previously taught at the University of Southern California. According to his university biography, Davis’s research and teaching focuses on, “race and racism, systems of oppression, and structures of domination in U.S. higher education and its social contexts.”

Davis previously rose to notoriety in 2017 for a series of <a href="https://twitter.com/hfdavis?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">racially inflammatory tweets</a>. As reported by <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/usc-professor-defends-tweet-promoting-violence-whiteness/">The College Fix</a>, he tweeted that “whiteness” must be destroyed and alluded to the necessity of violence in confronting it.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1308 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-04-21T135205.941-e1619038447297-1024x278.png" alt="" width="580" height="157" />

The background photo of his Twitter account at the time featured a black woman pointing a gun at a pig that clearly represents a caricature of a police officer. 

When contacted <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/usc-professor-defends-tweet-promoting-violence-whiteness/">The College Fix</a> over his remarks, Davis responded, “To be clear, I am decidedly against whiteness as a social and political ideology, which systematically marginalize and disenfranchise people of color from opportunities for societal advancement. In addition, I am against the institution of policing, which has historically and continuously enacted racial terror, sexual violence, and economic exploitation against racial minorities, women and LGBTQ communities, and economically disadvantaged working-class people.”

When asked if any of these tweets might make students uncomfortable, Davis <a href="http://hfdavis.com/blog/an-interview-with-a-conservative">responded</a> that any discomfort experienced by his white students is a result of their “white fragility.” 

Davis had previously advocated for the right of students to disrupt conservative speakers on campus. In the wake of <a href="https://badgerherald.com/news/2016/11/17/conservative-pundit-ben-shapiro-lectures-to-turbulent-crowd-on-safe-spaces-freedom-of-speech/">protesters heckling</a> Ben Shapiro’s lecture at the University of Wisconsin Madison, school regents approved a <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-university-of-wisconsin-protest-punishment-20171006-story.html">policy</a> to suspend or expel students that purposefully disrupt events. Davis’s subsequent <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-university-of-wisconsin-protest-punishment-20171006-story.html">op-ed</a> at Inside Higher Ed argued that this only reinforced white supremacy: “To be clear, it is a decision that reinforces institutionalized white supremacy -- and other oppressive forms of systemic power.” Davis argues that conservative speakers like Shapiro have hijacked the First Amendment to push “white supremacist agendas.”  

Davis’s website, which is listed by the University of Michigan on his biography, <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/51ab9fa0e4b06a38e604420a/t/5edaf71d1ab0434751b2e960/1591408468354/HF+Davis+%E2%80%93%C2%A0EPK.pdf">advertises </a>that he has taught the issues of “ race, racism, and systemic oppression in education and society” to over “7,000 students, educators and institutional leaders.” The <a href="http://hfdavis.com/">home page</a> of the site also features links to organizations that advocate for the Black Lives Matter movement, abolishing the police, and boycotting the nation of Israel.

As a critical race scholar, Dr. Armour’s work focuses on police brutality, mass incarceration, and systemic and cultural racism. He freely admits that critical race theory is included in his curriculum.

Dr. Armour is notable for his advocacy on behalf of District Attorneys (DAs) supported by George Soros while he served as a fellow of George Soros' Open Society Foundation.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/9-things-you-need-know-about-george-soros-aaron-bandler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Hungarian-born billionaire</a>, George Soros and The Open Society Foundation donate billions of dollars to progressive causes across the country, totaling <a href="https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/who-we-are/financials" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over $18 billion dollars over the past 35 years</a>. The Foundation’s operating budget for 2020 alone was 1.4 billion dollars.

The <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/12/16/how-george-soros-funded-progressive-das-behind-us-crime-surge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beneficiaries of Soros’s philanthropy are progressive District Attorneys who run on issues such as ending cash bail and “mass incarceration</a>.” Author, Matt Palumbo, has <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2021/11/08/matt_palumbo_how_george_soros_overhauled_the_us_justice_system.html#!" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documented tens of millions of dollars flowing from Soros and the Open Society Foundation</a> to campaigns of far-left DAs across the country.

Once elected, they immediately begin to decriminalize or refuse to prosecute certain “non-violent” crimes such as robbery, drug possession, and vandalism. This sometimes includes more serious offenses. The Soros-backed DA for Chicago, <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/10/decriminalizing_gang_bangers_soros_prosecutor_kim_foxx_declines_to_charge_five_arrested_in_fatal_gang_shootout_citing_mutual_combatants.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kim Foxx, cited “mutual combat” in her decision to decline prosecution of a fatal gang shooting</a>.

<a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/02/the-deadly-consequences-of-defund-the-police/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coupled with the nationwide defunding of police departments</a>, cities with Soros-funded DAs are witnessing record levels of crime. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/twelve-major-cities-with-new-homicide-records-in-2021-all-led-by-democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twelve major US cities broke homicide records in 2021.</a>

Officially titled the Soros Justice Senior Fellow of The Open Society Institute’s Center on Crime, Communities and Culture, Dr. Armour works not only to promote radical, criminal justice reform but uses his position within USC’s Law School to recruit Soros-backed, far-left DAs across the country.

Dr. Armour frequently hosts these DAs as part of his lecture series at the USC College of Law. One is Los Angeles County DA, George Gascon, who is known for his <a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/report/george-gascon-rogue-prosecutor-whose-extreme-policies-undermine-the-rule" target="_blank" rel="noopener">radical stances and failure to prosecute </a>serious offenses.

Gascon’s office has been criticized for <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2021/12/07/convict-arrested-for-murder-of-jacqueline-avant-as-l-a-faces-violent-crime-surge-in-wake-of-reforms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">releasing criminals who would later go on to commit violent crimes</a>.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aziluYm1Kbk&amp;ab_channel=USCGouldSchoolofLaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During their conversation</a>, Dr. Armour audibly agreed with Gascon as he claimed that the police originate from slave patrols in the antebellum south.

&nbsp;

During one point, Gascon compared the arrests of homeless people to confinement in a concentration camp, even stating that if a person is assaulted by a vagrant in front of their “million-dollar condo,” the solution is not to arrest or institutionalize them.

&nbsp;

A notable portion of Dr. Armour’s conversation with Gascon is when both described their efforts to elect progressive DAs in cities across the country. Gascon even bragged about how $50 million raised by George Soros and the ACLU was used to recruit and fund the campaigns of like-minded DAs across the country.

&nbsp;

One DA singled out for praise in their conversation is the District attorney of Philadelphia, Larry Krasner, whom Dr. Armour hosted at USC’s Law School on two separate occasions. Dr. Armour has praised Krasner—who self-identifies as a “prison abolitionist”— <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfPSYQRHP9Y&amp;ab_channel=USCGouldSchoolofLaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as the most “transformational” politician in the last 50 years.</a>

Elected in 2017—<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyh5Il__MH0&amp;t=4s&amp;ab_channel=USCGouldSchoolofLaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">while running on ending cash bail and mass incarceration in the city</a>—Krasner has since overseen a record-breaking crime wave in Philadelphia, with the<a href="https://www.city-journal.org/philadelphia-breaks-homicide-record" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> city recording over 500 murders in 2021 alone</a>.

During a separate, Krasner bragged about his refusal to prosecute certain crimes in his jurisdiction—namely drug offenses—while in office. This decision has drawn criticism from prosecutors who accuse Krasner of failing to keep violent criminals off the street.

<a href="https://www.inquirer.com/news/us-attorney-william-mcswain-district-attorney-larry-krasner-police-shooting-cpl-james-oconnor-20200316.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US Attorney, William McSwain, attributed this policy to the death of James O’Connor, a Philadelphia police officer</a>. O’Conner was murdered by a career criminal, Hassan Elliot while serving an arrest warrant. Krasner’s office had previously released Elliot for drug possession, which was a violation of his parole, with no bail.

Dr. Armour further used the event to recruit for Krasner’s office. As part of his nationwide tour, Kranser used his platform to recruit Dr. Armour’s students to intern and eventually work in his office, which Dr. Armour enthusiastically supported.

The full interview with Krasner may be watched below.

According to his <a href="https://www.marshall.usc.edu/personnel/shaun-harper" target="_blank" rel="noopener">university profile</a>, Shaun Harper is “University Professor of Business and Education, Provost Professor of Management and Organization, Clifford and Betty Allen Chair in Urban Leadership, [and] USC Race and Equity Center Executive Director” at the University of Southern California (USC) Marshall School of Business. Harper’s profile states that he “teaches MBA students and advises companies on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).”

In 2018, Harper authored a USC <a href="https://race.usc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Pub-2-Harper-Sports-Report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> titled, “BLACK MALE STUDENT-ATHLETES AND RACIAL INEQUITIES IN NCAA DIVISION I COLLEGE SPORTS”. 

For the study, Harper states that “Statistics are also furnished for each individual university in the Power Five conferences,” and mentions that “the report concludes with implications for college and university presidents, athletics directors, conference commissioners, the NCAA, journalists, and Black male student-athletes and their families.”

According to TheGrio, Harper wrote an <a href="https://thegrio.com/2021/01/18/martin-luther-king-inconvenient-truths-white-people/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “7 inconvenient truths white people must understand about Martin Luther King Jr.” Harper analyzes quotes by Martin Luther King Jr. which he believes are overlooked by white people in favor of the more popular quotes from the civil-rights figure. Moreover, he believes these quotes provide a call to action applicable to the current times. 
“King frequently called on white people to accept responsibility for the racial inequities they created, and to assume leadership for corrective action. Contemporary problems plaguing Black Americans are incontestable byproducts of slavery, Jim Crow, voter suppression, police brutality, and other acts of racial violence and exclusion. White people manufactured those. As King maintained, it continues to be their responsibility to right past and present wrongs.”
Harper claims “that the ways in which Donald Trump manipulated poor white people during his two campaigns and presidency undoubtedly would’ve frustrated King.” According to Harper, King “wanted whites and people of color to recognize how economic systems of oppression disadvantaged them both, and to understand that working together would significantly improve their chances of overthrowing engines of wealth inequity.”

Harper also claims that King “would want white Americans to know that the attack on the U.S. Capitol earlier this month [January 6, 2021] was an insurrection.”

Furthermore, regarding the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol in 2021, Harper says:
“It was a planned, organized, and violent rebellion. Disillusioned Trump supporters, most of them white, flew on airplanes and drove across states to attend. It isn’t the same as the mostly peaceful protests we saw in numerous cities last summer. The Capitol insurrection also isn’t the same as when frustrated Black people spontaneously (and at times unpeacefully) take to the streets following the miscarriage of justice.”
According to his <a href="https://www.shaunharper.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, “Foundations have invested more than $21 million into Professor Harper’s research and DEI initiatives. In addition, the center he founded and leads at USC has generated more than $13 million through its workplace climate assessments, pay equity analyses, and other expertly-developed DEI resources.”

“Always remember, never forget. These powerful words compel us to think about both the injustices of the past and the injustices of the present. One of those contemporary injustices that we struggle to remember is the Israeli occupation and the deprivation of Palestinian rights. For any of us concerned with justice, the imperative is clear: we must stand with the disempowered and the forgotten against militarism and the state.”

“What will 2021 bring forth from the literary world? Nguyen asks.

Lasser partnered with Kornblith to <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Elusive-Utopia-Struggle-Antislavery-Abolition-ebook/dp/B07JZTMY2Z/ref=sr_1_1?crid=19UJY9FHLZN8C&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ao7EhDg7riDXB6Qdm30m6ugScBzQAbVCGss-Z7AiWd_c5oBXcyrcyZ4paWkUebGbXr7UXQUCSAeGmD8Itc3UgiXfnKbT9DwrEnOG4II9BdB0SjEzMF_JdoY1Kau5aRSPlR8ftgt6d53YeCDZWdl4_tuOljUgOC5aJrQPx00dcCqOHXh7zjPh2nbefMyaJJ4I_2kMJQPul3XuZFVO6b9hRLBEg8uHoswb0o4cFX6fq2U.LWdkKNMR3cffMxZKWCSnbbJvInZcwtY8ClzsM53Cn-g&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=elusive+utopia&amp;qid=1721927826&amp;sprefix=elusive+utopia%2Caps%2C114&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">publish a book</a> called “Elusive Utopia: The Struggle for Racial Equality in Oberlin, Ohio” in which they discuss the abolition of slavery and the “changing perceptions of race” among Oberlin residents. 

In a book <a href="https://www.oberlin.edu/news/elusive-equality-conversation-carol-lasser-and-gary-kornblith" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview with Oberlin Campus News</a>, Lasser was asked, “Did Oberlin’s commitment to racial equality change over time, and if so, how?” Lasser responded:
“The people who make up Oberlin change, and their understanding of their relationship to racial equality changes … After the Civil War, Oberlin needs to reevaluate its raison d’être, and it pulls back from that commitment to radical racial egalitarianism ... Over time, the people who have come to inhabit the town [no] longer see that the job of eliminating prejudice falls to them … There’s a kind of amnesia and a supplanting of the original vision.”
Oberlin’s <a href="https://cityofoberlin.com/for-visitors/underground-railroad-center/information/#:~:text=Oberlin%20became%20a%20major%20focus,as%20the%20Oberlin%2DWellington%20Rescue." target="_blank" rel="noopener">history</a> confirms a strong Evangelical and abolitionist sentiment toward the freeing of slaves. The city’s main page states, “Every chance given they opposed the Fugitive Slave Act and did everything possible to make sure enslaved blacks were not returned to the south … After the Civil War, Oberlin [College] continued its tradition with admitting students ‘irrespective of color.’”

In the interview, Lasser and Kornblith hardly offer any statistical evidence that shows racial segregation, discrimination or violence increased toward black people over the last century. Instead, Lasser simply claims the white people who moved to Oberlin after the Civil War were “different” in that they were no longer “motivated by abolitionism.”

ANTI- 1ST AMENDMENT

In <a href="https://glc.yale.edu/i-am-professor-watchlist-carol-lasser" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a 2016 publication from Yale University</a>, Lasser discussed how she feels about finding her profile on Turning Point USA’s Professor Watchlist. Following the 2016 Presidential Election, Lasser said, “As a member of Historians Against Slavery, I have followed the current post-election situation with great anxiety and much thought about what happens when the American political system is under stress.”

Lasser continued:
“As I learned earlier this week, I am on the ‘Professor Watchlist’ … Although I consider myself honored to be recognized for my lifelong efforts to teach against racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and many other varieties of oppression, I am deeply distressed by the Watchlist, not only because it may have a chilling effect on academic freedom, but also because it is, like so much in the Age of Trump, fact free, letting loose a barrage of hate based in manipulated emotion.”
Lasser also mentioned how Project Veritas exposed her while she served in her role as the “director of Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Students at Oberlin.” The <a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/news/hidden-camera-captures-college-officials-disparaging-and-shredding-constitution-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hidden camera</a> captured an Oberlin staff member shredding a copy of the U.S. Constitution after an undercover journalist claimed to be “triggered” by the document. Moments later, Lasser is recorded stating:

<a href="https://canarymission.org/professors/joy-karega/">Dr. Joy Karega</a> is an Assistant Professor of Rhetoric and Composition at Oberlin College. She posted a series of anti-Semitic Facebook posts in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo terror attacks. In these posts, Karega placed the blame for the attacks on Israel and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. After being fired by the university for her comments in 2016, Karega sued and eventually <a href="https://chroniclet.com/news/200709/fired-professor-oberlin-college-settle-lawsuit/">settled</a> for an undisclosed amount.

<a href="https://www.oberlin.edu/mohammad-jafar-mahallati" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohammad Jafar Mahallati</a> is a Professor of Religion and the Nancy Dye Chair in Middle East and North African Studies at Oberlin College. From 1987-1989, he served as the Ambassador to the United Nations on behalf of Iran. In that role, he is accused of covering up Iran’s executions of political prisoners and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel on the world stage.

As the Jerusalem Post <a href="https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/iranian-diplomat-turned-us-professor-accused-of-crimes-against-humanity-645107" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a>, a group of Iranian political prisoners and human rights activists sent a letter to the president of Oberlin College demanding that the college dismiss Mahallati for his role in Iran’s infamous 1988 mass executions. Over the course of several months of 1988, it is <a href="https://townhall.com/columnists/taharboumedra/2021/01/19/pleading-for-justice-to-the-victims-of-1988-mass-executions-of-political-prisoners-in-iran-n2583360" target="_blank" rel="noopener">estimated</a> that Iran executed as many as 30,000 political prisoners.

In a <a href="https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/iranian-diplomat-turned-us-professor-accused-of-crimes-against-humanity-645107" target="_blank" rel="noopener">response</a> to the Jerusalem Post, Mahallati states that he had no knowledge of the massacres. He claims that his accusers have produced no evidence implicating him in the killings, and Mahallati “categorically” denies receiving any information regarding Iran’s mass executions while serving as an Ambassador.

“The accusers fail to provide a single solid document as evidence of my actual knowledge of these incidents. With no concrete evidence, they infer that I must have been informed and intentionally denied these atrocities. I categorically deny any knowledge and therefore responsibility regarding mass executions in Iran when I was serving at the United Nations.” - Mahallati

Mahallati, in his role as Iran’s ambassador to the UN, vocally downplayed and excused the executions. In a thread of Tweets, Iranian human rights activist Kaveh Shahrooz <a href="https://twitter.com/kshahrooz/status/1314261433291542532/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documents</a> that Mahallati not only <a href="https://www.un.org/en/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=E/CN.4/1989/26" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acknowledges</a> the executions before the UN at that time, but attempts to excuse them as battlefield casualties or sensationalized propaganda from Iraq.

<a href="https://twitter.com/kshahrooz/status/1314261433291542532"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1257" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-08-at-10.56.54-AM-276x300.png" alt="" width="460" height="500" /></a>

During his two-year delegation to the United Nations, Mahallati frequently denied the right of Israel to exist and praised Palestinian terrorists. As Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/oberlin-professor-of-peace-iranian-ambassador-destruction-of-israel-1989-speech">reports</a>, Mahallati, who refers to Israel as a “Zionist entity,” states before the UN that Israel’s founding was a “violation of International law.”

Praising the Palestinian uprising, known as the “Intifada,” Mahallati <a href="https://undocs.org/en/S/PV.2847">describes</a> the campaign as a “holy struggle against oppression and Zionism.” In a speech to the United Nations, he pledges support on behalf of the Islamic Republic of Iran for the “liberation of all of Palestine'' and the destruction of Israel.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1254 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-04-08T103725.040-e1617903562513-1024x440.png" alt="" width="580" height="249" />

&nbsp;

In a response to a Fox News inquiry about Mahallati, Oberlin College spokesman Scott Wargo <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/oberlin-professor-of-peace-iranian-ambassador-destruction-of-israel-1989-speech">states</a>, “Professor Mahallati is a tenured professor and has seen a teacher at Oberlin since 2007. We have received the letter today expressing concerns about his statements during a meeting with the United Nations representatives more than 30 years ago. We are in touch with Professor Mahallati to gather additional information.”

In a letter sent to Oberlin President Carmen Twillie, and published in The Oberlin Review,  577 signatories <a href="https://oberlinreview.org/21828/opinions/hiring-mohammad-mahallati-against-oberlins-mission-and-vision/">call</a> for Mahallati to be “removed from his position” at Oberlin. The letter also states that his appointment is at “fundamental odds” with Oberlin’s stated values.

The Oberlin Review also reports that Mahallati is the <a href="https://oberlinreview.org/21855/news/religion-professor-denies-accusations-of-human-rights-abuses-cover-up/">founder</a> of the “Friendship Initiative.” According to the Friendship Initiative’s website, the <a href="https://www.oberlin.edu/friendship">goal</a> of the organization is to promote friendship as a “radical framework for developing international, interfaith, and intercultural justice and peace.” Mahallati also hosts Oberlin College’s annual “<a href="https://www.oberlin.edu/events/oberlin_friendship_festival_a_virtual_event">Friendship Festival</a>” which claims to celebrate interfaith peace and justice.

In further unearthed statements, Dr. Mahallati <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/oberlin-colleges-professor-peace-endorsed-fatwa-murder-salman-rushdie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">endorsed the "fatwa"—or sentence of death—leveled against author Salaman Rushdie for criticizing Islam. </a>

The fatwa was <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/salman-rushdie-satanic-verses-fatwa-iran">issued by Iran's Supreme Leader—Ayatollah Kh0meini—in 1989, which called upon "all brave Muslims" to kill Rushdie</a> for authoring The Satanic Verses. It has never been rescinded.

When asked about the fatwa while serving as Ambassador, Dr. Mahallati responded: "I think all Islamic countries agree with Iran. All Islamic nations and countries agree with Iran that any blasphemous statement against sacred figures should be condemned."

He continued, "I think if Western countries really believe and respect freedom of speech, therefore they should also respect our freedom of speech. We certainly use that right in order to express ourselves, our religious belief, in the case of any blasphemous statement against sacred Islamic figures."

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Mahallati for comment and has received the following response via email.

“Greetings! I am on sabbatical leave for the spring of 2021. I will respond back whenever I can. Thank you for contacting me. Warm Regards.” - Mahallati

<a href="https://www.oberlin.edu/jennifer-blaylock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Blaylock</a> is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Cinema Studies and a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Oberlin College. Courses she has taught at Oberlin College include, but are not limited to, Introduction to African Cinemas and Feminist Media Histories.

According to her university profile, she is a “film and media historian with research interests in audio-visual archives, postcolonial and decolonial theory, and African studies.”

Blaylock recently taught a Winter Term project titled Decolonizing Cinema History. <a href="https://oberlinreview.org/30097/arts/bodies-are-fluid-film-screening-expands-on-amam-conversation-through-feminist-video-art/#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Oberlin Review</a> reports the course “invited students with a variety of experiences and interest levels to participate and allowed them to explore feminist media and art film.”

Blaylock says the Winter Term project started from a few needs that she saw on campus, one being that the Cinema Studies department had a collection of 16-millimeter films. She adds:
“The other part of the project is that I’ve been writing a lot about archives recently, and so I was interested in thinking about a lot of new literature on film archives in particular that have to do with decolonizing institutions of archival memory.” 
She continues:
“How are archivists addressing neglect of certain histories based on race, gender, sexuality, [and] geographic parts of the world that have been left out from film memory?” 
Students in Blaylock’s course on decolonizing cinema <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/bodily-fluids-film-fest-hosted-by-oberlin-film-scholar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">organized a film fest</a> with archived pornographic footage. The films shown at the event “spanned a wide range of topics and forms, but were tied together by their focus on bodies and bodily fluids.” Blaylock shared her support for the event on her Twitter:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I am so proud of my students for making this winter term project a reality. They put a lot of hard work into the publicity and curation process. The conversation with students and faculty after the screening was the best part. <a href="https://t.co/ptKmESz16s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/ptKmESz16s</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The Oberlin Review says attendees at the event had a variety of viewing opportunities which “included a film created solely with the artist’s mouth, a 1970s-era feminist film on menstruation, and a 16-minute-long recording of an intimate performance in which one artist shaves another’s lower body.”

Dr. Allyn Walker is an openly transgender —preferred pronouns they/them—a postdoctoral fellow at the <a href="https://publichealth.jhu.edu/">Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health</a>. In June of 2021, Dr. Walker <a href="https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520306363/a-long-dark-shadow">wrote a book titled</a>, A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity.

<img class="size-full wp-image-1773 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-15-at-11.31.39-AM.png" alt="" width="466" height="222" />

The book, which Dr. Walker describes as interview-based research, discusses non-offending pedophiles (or Minor-Attracted Persons, as Dr. Walker calls them). According to Dr. Walker, the book highlights people who are attracted to minors who don’t don’t commit violent crimes in order to challenge the “widespread assumption that those who are ‘preferentially attracted to minors’ are always predators and sex offenders.” The book details how those who don’t commit violent crimes against children navigate their feelings and attraction to minors.

On November 11, 2021<a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1458985538334068740?s=21" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> a series of videos on Twitter of Dr. Walker came to light</a>. In these videos, Dr. Walker tries to normalize the term “Minor-Attracted Person” (MAP) and destigmatize pedophilia. In the video, Dr. Walker claims that it is important to call a group by a name in which they want to be called. Dr. Walker states that groups are advocating for MAP as their name because it’s less stigmatized than the term pedophile, and they are doing nothing wrong if they aren’t committing violent crimes against children. Dr. Walker goes on to say that who a person is attracted to (in this case children) isn’t indicative of the morality of that person or that attraction. The video series can be viewed below:

https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1458985538334068740?s=21

After the video received a significant amount of backlash, <a href="https://www.wtkr.com/news/odu-releases-statement-after-assistant-professor-gives-controversial-interview-defending-people-attracted-to-children">Old Dominion University—Dr. Walker’s employer at the time—released a statement</a>, asserting that, as an academic community, it’s vital to be “willing to consider scientific and other empirical data that may involve controversial issues and perspectives.” They went on to claim that they don’t endorse or promote any crimes against children or any form of criminal activity.

Old Dominion University would later announce that Dr. Allyn Walker would <a href="https://www.odu.edu/news/2021/11/a_statement_from_old_dominion_university#.Yn343qjMI2w">resign at the expiration of his contract</a> in May 2022.

During an interview with Scientific American, <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/video/how-junk-science-is-being-used-against-trans-kids2/#Echobox=1649463388" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peterson claims the idea of a gender binary is still weaponized by present-day scientists against trans people.</a> After being introduced by the host as a “science historian,” he again states that scientists had no idea what determined sex or gender until the mid-20th century.

Further on, Peterson asserts there is no consensus on what determines whether someone is male or female. He then compares any scientific attempts to do so with the “junk science” of the eugenics movement and inflicting harm on trans people.

Peterson often addresses issues surrounding transgender children and berates critics who challenge that children can transition at a young age. On his <a href="https://twitter.com/gp_jls" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal Twitter account</a>, Peterson urges his followers to “champion” trans children, and even “to want there to be trans kids in the world.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
South Dakota has spent SEVEN YEARS working to pass this anti-trans bill. Trans people have had to organize against it for seven years—and now it passes. Chase is right, everyone needs to champion trans kids in progressive coalition. Kids can’t outrun seven relentless years alone. <a href="https://t.co/UTael9Kkdx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/UTael9Kkdx</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I believe more than ever that the way to end a child-hating culture where everyone is invested in children suffering is to learn to want there to be trans kids in this world. To relinquish the wish that we selfishly own them. To greet transness not as hypothetical but valuable. <a href="https://t.co/pMqf4Gx5zK" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/pMqf4Gx5zK</a>

In a separate thread, he calls for the “abolition” of the family to relieve the “bulwark” of protection that parents provide children.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
an underrated problem in the left’s neoliberal retreat from family abolition (shoutout again to <a href="https://twitter.com/reproutopia?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@reproutopia</a>) is that trans kids are left with a pitifully anemic option for care. the...family? we except the family to ideally care for trans kids? based on what evidence?!

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I am certainly heartened that many families do love and champion their trans kids. but I also want a political movement that relieves loving trans kids from a privatized, sentimental and normative politics of the family as bulwark against the various ends of the world underway.

Peterson claims that <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/163113/behind-gop-strategy-outlaw-trans-youth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">it’s false to “presume” that trans kids will be cared for by their families</a>. His comments appeared in an interview with The New Republic, where he depicted parents as an impediment to trans children. He attacks white women as segregationists who weaponize their status as mothers to fuel anti-trans legislation. “The figure of the mom is hanging over everything,” she states.

In a separate substack article, <a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/we-the-abuser-state" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he further claims that “parental rights” are inhibiting minors from making fully autonomous decisions about their gender</a>.

“The slogan of ‘parental rights” is at the root of the fantasy that children are quasi-property, not people.”

Conservatives who object to transitioning children are <a href="https://thenewinquiry.com/from-gender-critical-to-qanon-anti-trans-politics-and-the-laundering-of-conspiracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">branded as QAnon-style conspiracy theorists</a> who are aiming to construct an “<a href="https://jewishcurrents.org/the-anti-trans-lobbys-real-agenda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authoritarian Christian ethnostate.</a>”

Much of this ire is directed toward author Abigail Shrier author of, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Irreversible-Damage-Transgender-Seducing-Daughters/dp/1684510317" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Irreversible Damage.”</a> The book examines the exponential increase in rates of gender dysphoria among teenagers—of which Shrier attributes to <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/06/27/how-peer-contagion-plays-into-the-rise-of-teens-transitioning/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“peer contagion”</a>—and the negative, <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">long-term health effects on teens who undergo gender transitions</a>.

Reacting to a Senate testimony delivered by Shrier on trans children, Peterson <a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/abigail-shrier-goes-to-washington" target="_blank" rel="noopener">labels her as a “TERF”</a> (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist) who is unqualified to speak on trans issues, in part because Shrier is not transgender herself. She accuses Shrier of flirting with white supremacy and peddling “pedophilic fantasies.”

“I invite you to join me in standing against the extreme sexual harassment, pedophilic fantasies, and torturous sadism of TERF and anti-trans rhetoric peddled by people like Shrier, backed up by an army of internet trolls and well-funded cultural tastemakers getting rich off pretending they are humiliated and canceled.“

Peterson is also the author of “History of the Transgender Child,” which maintains that <a href="https://history.jhu.edu/faculty-books/histories-of-the-transgender-child/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transgender children have been prevalent and well-documented over the last century</a>. He further serves as the General Editor of <a href="https://www.dukeupress.edu/tsq-transgender-studies-quarterly">Transgender Studies Quarterly</a>, of which the next issue will feature “Trans Marxist” authors and perspectives.

Her research interests “address how mid-twentieth century writers of both fiction and non-fiction strategically deployed racial language in American popular culture.”

Mott’s university profile also mentions a manuscript titled, “Saving the Soul of the Great Republic: Imagining Race and Writing Democracy.” According to the description, the book “argues that authors writing during the inter- and postwar years of the twentieth century relied on ‘literary racial transvestism,’ a practice wherein black authors wrote novels with predominantly white characters and [vice versa].”

The College Fix said the countersuit mentions a home in the same neighborhood that sold within a month of Mott’s. The same company appraised the home for $7,000 less than the purchase price. Further, Mott and her husband did not provide their appraiser with documentation of any additional estimates showing a higher home value.

<a href="https://sais.jhu.edu/users/ymounk1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yascha Mounk</a> is a Professor of Practice of International Affairs at Johns Hopkins University (JHU). Mounk’s faculty profile says he is “a political scientist known for his work on the rise of populism and the crisis of liberal democracy.”

Mounk was outspoken on Twitter after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack against Israel. Mounk wrote that Israel “has every right to defend itself” but that their response constituted “moral error” when Palestinians become casualties. However, Mounk did not acknowledge <a href="https://stratcomcoe.org/cuploads/pfiles/hamas_human_shields.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas’ use of human shields as a war tactic</a>. The militant group often stores its arsenal inside civilian structures (e.g. schools, hospitals, and mosques).
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Hamas murdered over 1,400 people in an indescribably sadistic manner.

Its leaders have made it very clear that they will continue to murder Israeli civilians if given the chance.

Israel has every right to defend itself.

But that is all the more reason for Israel to operate in…
— Yascha Mounk (@Yascha_Mounk) <a href="https://twitter.com/Yascha_Mounk/status/1719768116756963781?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 1, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

On February 7, 2024, <a href="https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/higher-education/johns-hopkins-professor-rape-allegation-H5NESC5J3FCG7E7CFLQDPVV7R4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Baltimore Banner</a> featured Mounk in an article titled, “Johns Hopkins University investigates rape allegations against professor.” The Banner writes, “[JHU] has opened an investigation into a prominent international affairs professor after a woman accused him of rape … Hopkins officials said they have referred the matter to the university’s <a href="https://oie.jhu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Office of Institutional Equity</a>.”

According to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2024/02/05/atlantic-yascha-mounk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a>, Mounk said, “I am aware of the horrendous allegations against me. It is categorically untrue.” The Post also referred to <a href="https://libertiesjournal.com/articles/after-rape-a-guide-for-the-tormented/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an essay</a> published by the victim that said, “When the shrieking stops … you will reach the phase at which all you can think and talk about is the rape.”

JHU has not publicly stated whether Mounk will remain in his faculty position. As of publication, <a href="https://sais.jhu.edu/users/ymounk1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his profile</a> does not show him on leave from the college.

Arizona State University Professor David Boyles—who <a href="https://angelictroublemakers.substack.com/p/queer-joy-summer-planting-3-promote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>, “Sex education is a topic I’ve been obsessed with for a while”—appeared to physically assault a Turning Point USA Frontlines cameraman.  

TPUSA’s Frontlines team confronted Boyles after <a href="https://azfreenews.com/2023/09/meet-the-asu-professor-behind-arizonas-drag-queen-story-hour/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">learning</a> that he founded the Arizona chapter of Drag Queen Story Hour. Boyles refused to respond to the Frontlines reporter who asked how long he’d had the obsession with sex education and why he felt children should be exposed to drag queens.

The video of Boyles assaulting the cameraman can be viewed below:

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/280652" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Boyles</a> is a Professor of English Writing at Arizona State University (ASU). His “areas of expertise” include but are not limited to “Rhetoric,” “Public Communication,” and “Gender Studies.”

<a href="https://azfreenews.com/2023/09/meet-the-asu-professor-behind-arizonas-drag-queen-story-hour/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AZ Free News</a> featured Boyles in an article titled “Meet the ASU Professor Behind Arizona’s Drag Queen Story Hour.” The source writes:

“Boyles established Drag Queen Story Hour-Arizona in 2019, a chapter of the national Drag Queen Story Hour organization…Boyles has been featured in several ‘The Art of Drag’ events alongside one of his drag queen storytellers…The most recent event occurred on Wednesday [September 20, 2023].  During the <a href="https://youtu.be/RN0Bou3wmxk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presentation</a>, Boyles said that the notion that drag shows are harmful to children was a ‘myth.’ He also said that drag queens have been long considered the leaders of LGBTQ+ communities.”

During “<a href="https://youtu.be/RN0Bou3wmxk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Art of Drag</a>” talk, Boyles claimed Drag Queen Story Hour-Arizona has been “targeted by acts of violence” and “neo-Nazis showing up to disrupt events.” He also presented what he believed to be the beginning of drag culture in America using the newspaper clip featured below:

On May 16, 2023, Boyles <a href="https://angelictroublemakers.substack.com/p/queer-joy-summer-planting-3-promote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published a blog</a> - “Queer Joy Summer Planting #3: Promote Radical Queer Sex Education” - in which he stated he was “trying to plant more queer joy in the world.” He also said:

“Sex education is a topic I’ve been obsessed with for a while…In 2021, I did a three-part ‘<a href="https://angelictroublemakers.substack.com/p/queering-sex-ed-part-i" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queering Sex Ed</a>’ series on the history of sex education in America and the ways in which it has traditionally erased queer people, as well as the ways in which queer people have resisted this erasure and cared for their communities by creating their own sex ed underground.”

In the “Queer Sex Ed” blog, Boyles also wrote that sex education has been traditionally racist since “black people and immigrants were typically viewed as being sexually promiscuous and aggressive and sex education was designed to keep good white kids from being ‘infected’ by them.”

<a href="https://cronkite.asu.edu/about/faculty-and-leadership/faculty/gilgerbio">Kristin Gilger</a> is the Reynolds Professor of Business Journalism and the interim dean at the Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University (ASU). She is the author of the book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Theres-No-Crying-Newsrooms-Learned/dp/1538121492">“There’s No Crying in Newsrooms”</a> and has served in various roles at ASU since 2002.

Gilger has been mired in controversy since assuming her role as dean this past summer. The previous candidate, Sonya Forte Duhe, was replaced by Gilger after <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/after-tweet-supporting-good-police-officers-arizona-state-revokes-journalism-dean-offer/">her offer was rescinded by the university</a>. After tweeting an image that was considered too positive towards police officers, Duhe was condemned by university faculty for showing “poor judgment.”

Gilger has come under fire after pressuring Rae’Lee Klein, a senior journalism major, and station manager for ASU’s Blaze radio, to resign from her position after <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/28/this-is-why-jacob-blake-had-a-warrant-out-for-his-arrest/?preview_id=16209831">tweeting and soon deleting a New York Post article</a> detailing the warrant issued for Jacob Blake’s arrest;

“Always more to the story, folks. Please read this article to get to the background of Jacob Blake’s warrant. You’ll be quite disgusted“ 

Blake—who was wanted for sexually assaulting his ex-girlfriend—was shot in the back by police after resisting arrest and allegedly reaching for a knife on the floor of his car.

Facing immediate backlash for her tweet, the Board of Directors at the station <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/09/18/arizona-student-journalist-cancelled-over-jacob-blake-tweet/">voted unanimously to remove her from her position</a>. Later releasing a statement, the board announced that “Blaze Radio firmly believes that Black Lives Matter.”

“The board gave Klein an opportunity to step down under her own will. As of the time of this statement, Klein has not made the decision to resign…In light of this, we do not recognize Rae'Lee Klein as the station manager of Blaze Radio.”  

Gilger has claimed that the University is not moving to remove Klein. In a statement to the New York Post, Gilger stated that Klein is not being targeted by the university for her views.

“Any actions that are unfolding are not punishment for a tweet. I have been clear with Rae’Lee that she would not be removed as station manager of Blaze Radio, a student internet radio station, because of the views she expressed,”  

However, in email exchanges between Klein and Gilger, she did in fact act to pressure Klein to resign, contrary to her statement.

In their exchange (pictured below) Gilger clearly states that Klein remaining in her position, “is not an option,” as she had lost the confidence of the board.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-909" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.18.44-PM.png" alt="" width="500" height="366" />

&nbsp;

Although suggesting new roles that Klein may assume, Gilger cites the "Media Guidelines for Student Journalists" to warn her to refrain in the future from posting information “that could call into question your ability to act independently as a journalist.” This seems to contradict Gilger’s claim that Klein was not being targeted by the university for her views.

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-910" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.24.32-PM.png" alt="" width="317" height="500" /><img class="aligncenter wp-image-911 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-4.51.32-PM-1-e1601512111513.png" alt="" width="339" height="642" /><img class="aligncenter wp-image-912 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.27.15-PM.png" alt="" width="342" height="540" />

&nbsp;

At this time, Klein has refused to step down from her role, and officially remains the station’s manager.

Update: In February of 2021, Klein announced that she <a href="https://www.westernjournal.com/college-pays-settlement-conservative-student-ousted-manager-role/">has reached a settlement with Gilger</a> over a lawsuit she had filed against ASU several months prior.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
UPDATE: I am happy to announce we've reached a resolution with Arizona State University for events that took place in September. With the support of my attorney, Jack Wilenchik, and countless other individuals, I am proud to have stood up, fought back and eventually, won.

According to a <a href="https://newsroom.asu.edu/press/statement-latest-update-asu-and-klein-story-0">statement released by ASU</a>, the University agreed to pay Klein a total of $7,040 for "reimbursement of her school fees."

<a href="https://cisa.asu.edu/node/7955" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Asao Inoue</a> is a professor and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, Equity and Inclusion in the College of Integrative Science and Arts at Arizona State University. According to his University biography, Inoue’s <a href="https://cisa.asu.edu/node/7955" target="_blank" rel="noopener">research</a> focuses on “antiracist and social justice theory and practices in writing assessments.”

Prior to his role at Arizona State, Inoue served as the Director of the Writing Center at the University of Washington-Tacoma. As Daily Caller <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/02/20/college-writing-center-declares-american-grammar-a-racist-unjust-language-structure/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documents</a>, Inoue <a href="\&quot;https://stjenglish.com/standing-against-racism-in-the-field-of-writing-dr-asao-inoue-uw-tacoma/\&quot;" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commissioned</a> an anti-racist poster in an effort to ensure that his staff did not “embrace racist practices.” Inoue maintains that racism is embedded in the English language as well as in society itself, writing that “racism is the normal condition of things.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1502 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-08-10T135650.565-e1628629052457-1024x391.png" alt="" width="580" height="221" />

According to the text of the poster, recorded by The College Fix, Inoue writes that his goal is to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/university-writing-center-combats-racist-unjust-language-structures/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">help students become more critical of “unjust language structures”</a> in order to succeed in what Inoue claims is a racist society.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1501 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-08-10T135356.265-e1628628890970-1024x296.png" alt="" width="580" height="168" />

Inoue would later author a book on his beliefs titled, “Labor-Based Grading Contracts: Building Equity and Inclusion in the Compassionate Writing Classroom.” In an excerpt from the book, Inoue declares that he focuses on grading students for their efforts, and not the “quality” of their writing.

“This book focuses on one kind of grading contract, one that calculates final course grades purely by the labor students complete, not by any judgments of the quality of their writing.”

As Daily Wire reports, Inoue writes that his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/arizona-state-dean-grading-writing-based-on-quality-is-racist-promotes-white-language-supremacy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beliefs and teaching practices are based on “critical-race theory,” or “labor-based theory.”</a>As Breitbart documents, c<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ritical race theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism</a> that views America and all of its institutions as being infected with white supremacy.

He writes further that grading students only perpetuates white supremacy.

“The traditional purposes and methods used for grading writing turn out to be de facto racist and White supremacist….Grading by a standard, thus, is how White language supremacy is perpetuated in schools”

Inoue also draws an analogy between issuing grades for English and the institution of slavery, stating that grading is a “slave-making mechanism.”

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1504 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-08-10T140031.897-e1628629269866-1024x317.png" alt="" width="580" height="180" />

Inoue believes that even the physical proximity of white people causes racism. In a YouTube video of Inoue speaking before the 2019 Convention of the National Council of Teachers of English, Inoue <a href="https://youtu.be/brPGTewcDYY?t=994" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states that even the presence of white people “perpetuates racism.</a>”

&nbsp;

Inoue delivered this speech while <a href="https://cccc.ncte.org/cccc/about/chairs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">serving as the Conference Chair of the Conference on College Composition and Communication</a>, which bills itself as the <a href="https://cccc.ncte.org/cccc/about/chairs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">largest professional organization for researching and teaching writing composition</a>. It is the annual conference of the National Council of Teachers of English, which <a href="https://ncte.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boasts over 25,000 English and Language Arts teachers as members all over the country</a>.

<a href="https://isearch.asu.edu/profile/597528" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lorraine Moya Salas</a> is an Instructor in the <a href="https://socialwork.asu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">School of Social Work</a> at <a href="https://campus.asu.edu/dohttps://campus.asu.edu/downtown-phoenixwntown-phoenix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arizona State University - Downtown Phoenix</a>.

During a lecture in one of her courses—titled, “Foundations of Social Work”—Dr. Lorraine can be heard describing the United States as a “white supremacist system,” that was founded for the benefit of white people at the expense of Native Americans and people of color.

In the class—recorded and provided exclusively to the Professor Watchlist team by an anonymous source—Dr. Salas urges her students to confront the “implicit biases” present in themselves and American society. Claiming that stereotypes and prejudices construct implicit bias, she warns that unconscious actions can cause serious harm.

Attempting to provide an example to bolster her claim, Dr. Salas states that implicit bias causes doctors to act as if their black patients are slaves. She proceeds to cite a study that claims doctors give less pain medication to black patients as compared to white ones.

Dr. Salas alleges this is the product of the legacy of slavery; slave owners viewed blacks as subhuman and able to withstand a large amount of pain, so therefore doctors continue to believe that blacks can withstand a large amount of pain. Doctors will therefore prescribe black patients less pain medication.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Lorraine-Moya-Salas-Part-1_updated.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Dr. Salas additionally cites a study that claims teachers will call on boys more often than girls in their classrooms. She claims this as proof that teachers think boys answer questions correctly more often than girls.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Lorraine-Moya-Salas-Part-1_2.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Throughout the lecture, Dr. Salas alleges that numerous racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in society are a result of implicit bias. She urges her students, as future social workers, to confront their own implicit biases and assigns an “implicit bias test” for them to complete before the next class.

Dr. Salas additionally claims that institutional racism produces inequality and disparities, attributing it to the legacy of slavery in the Americas. Although acknowledging that all cultures practiced slavery, she claims that no slave trade was enforced along racial lines until the Europeans did so in order to specifically oppress people of color.

Citing slavery, the genocide of Native Americans and discriminatory, Jim Crow laws, Dr. Salas claims that  America was constructed as a “white supremacist culture” for the sole benefit of white people who have maintained their “white power structures” ever since.

&nbsp;

In the accompanying slides, Dr. Salas cites Critical Race Theory to define white supremacy as a, “political or socio-economic system where white people enjoy structural advantage and rights that other racial and ethnic groups do not, both at a collective and an individual level”.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1692 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/3b-SelfAwarenessAndRaceEthnitiy-student-copy.pptx-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="326" />

&nbsp;

As <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro writes in Breitbart News</a>, Critical Race Theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism that views America and all of its institutions as being infected with white supremacy—to the point of some, including <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claiming</a> America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England.

Dr. Salas had previously published a paper on critical theory, titled, “Critical Theory: Pathway from Dichotomous to Integrated Social Work Practice.” In it, she urges social <a href="https://socialwork.rutgers.edu/file/4791/download" target="_blank" rel="noopener">workers to embrace critical theory in order to accomplish social justice</a> “at all levels of practice.”

Dr. Salas further states that while people of color can hold prejudiced views, they cannot be racist as they have no institutional power in a system that values whiteness. She urges white students in the class to be “allies” in order to help minorities access the resources available to them by way of “white privilege.”

The full audio of the lecture is provided below.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Salas prior for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

In 2019, Cooper founded the “<a href="https://katelyncooper1.wixsite.com/bioedlab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cooper Biology Education Research Lab</a>” because she, as a gay woman, was “worried about biology research not being inclusive enough of “LGBTQ+ people,” according to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/inclusive-lab-for-lgbt-students-created-by-arizona-state-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">College Fix. </a>

Cooper is “upset that heterosexual white [men] dominate the biological sciences.” She told <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/nbc-out-proud/professor-making-biology-education-inclusive-lgbtq-undergrads-rcna28813" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a> that “The goal isn’t just to make classrooms more inclusive, she explained, but to bring more diversity to a field that has traditionally been dominated by straight white men.” 

Cooper also told NBC News her hopes for collegiate science education: “Cooper said science educators can make their classrooms more inclusive by being openly supportive of LGBTQ students.” According to Cooper, “Educators can, for example, put an inclusivity statement on their syllabus or website, foster safe environments for students to reveal their LGBTQ identities and familiarize themselves with on-campus LGBTQ resources in case students come to them for support.”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/291312" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rashad Shabazz</a> is an Associate Professor of African American Studies in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University (ASU). Shabazz’s university profile says his “academic expertise brings together human geography, black cultural studies, gender studies, and critical prison studies.” He also holds a Ph.D. in History of Consciousness from the University of California-Santa Cruz.

Shabazz teaches several race-based courses including “<a href="https://webapp4.asu.edu/bookstore/viewsyllabus/2227/88026">AFR301:</a> Race and Racism in the Black Diaspora.” The course description says, 

“Through slave rebellion in Haiti, black notions of freedom, black ideas of ‘being,’ and what on thinker calls ‘black reason,’ this class aims to show that race and racism is more than a tapestry of dominion, but…a reservoir of revolutionary ideas that…transform the world.”

In response to the killing of Tyre Nichols - a black man who was arrested and beaten and later died in the custody of black police officers - Shabazz <a href="https://theconversation.com/black-police-officers-arent-colorblind-theyre-infected-by-the-same-anti-black-bias-as-american-society-and-police-in-general-198721" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an article</a> in The Conversation entitled, “Black police officers aren’t colorblind–they’re infected by the same anti-black bias as American society and police in general.”

In the article, Shabazz argued, “Policing in the U.S. has, from its inception, treated Black people as domestic enemies. From slave patrols…to the murder of George Floyd, and now the death of Nichols, law enforcement officers often have viewed black people as what…W.E.B. Du Bois called a ‘problem.’”

He continued, “It’s hard to investigate the minds of the officers who beat Nichols so savagely and say for sure what motivated them. But there is ample research that suggests anti-blackness is a factor in American policing. And black officers, agents of an institutionally racist system, are affected by this.”

The article goes on to say that McCall was the only African-American student to earn a doctorate in music education from ASU. McCall also reportedly said that she feels she can offer “an informed perspective based on experience and expertise” that can optimize K-12 learning experiences.

In July 2022, McCall was featured in a <a href="https://www.classicfm.com/discover-music/critical-race-theory-music-education/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Classic FM article</a> titled, “Music professor breaks down [CRT] and why it’s crucial for 21st-century music education.” McCall told the publication:

“‘[CRT] is a tool that was conceptualized and born out of critical legal studies as a means to analyze, critique and to help dismantle racism…Even though…we like to think of ourselves as being more progressive and more innovative…When you look at a university curriculum in America, it gives you a really nice snapshot of Western Europe.’”

She informs readers of her experiences as an “African American in music education…whose structures and social actors attempted to silence [her] voice.” Although McCall experienced notable success and received much encouragement throughout her pursuits, she wrote: 

“Despite my professors and peers at ASU ensuring me that I was in a safe place, I didn’t believe it because I knew that outside of ASU, society viewed my voice differently and that the profession did not want to hear what I had to say. These were my perceptions…”

Sampson has published several gender- and race-based articles.

“We use ‘Latinx’ as a gender-neutral reference to the people of Latin-American heritage. To not negate gendered experiences, we use Latino/Latina, or Chicano/a when acknowledging individuals or past research identifying with these gendered identities … Although both ‘Black’ and ‘Latinx’ are politicized categories, we recognize the reality of the identities are diverse, intersecting, and fluid.”

Truthout said, “Hundreds of academics from universities and institutions of higher learning from … across North America have signed on to a joint letter, calling on their governments to demand Israeli ceasefire in Gaza … The signers, calling themselves ‘Educators for Palestine,’ are Palestinian academics and their allies who denounce Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.”

“We have paid careful attention to consistent invocations of children in public officials’ responses to and media portrayals of the attack in Israel on October 7, which took 1400 lives. We mourn this loss of life, and we are also struck by the ways that this concern for children does not extend to the unspeakable number of Palestinian children’s lives taken by Israeli state violence, harmed by apartheid rule, and traumatized by intergenerational experiences of settler colonial dispossession for over [75] years.”

Wade Smith and Elsie Moore Memorial Lecture on Race Relations at Arizona State University (ASU). Hill is primarily known for her incendiary commentary as an American sports journalist on ESPN from 2006 to 2017.  Hill departed from ESPN after posting tweets calling President Donald Trump a “white supremacist” and <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/media/2022/08/05/jemele-hill-opens-up-leaving-espns-conservative-culture/10249552002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">complaining</a> about “conservative culture” in the workplace.

 “‘I wasn’t a good fit for the ‘SportsCenter’ culture. Definitely not a good fit for the management that was overseeing the ‘SportsCenter’ at the time. And I got tired. I got really tired of fighting everyday to be myself … It’s the conservative culture at ESPN and so this idea that ESPN is being run by flower children is just a lie. That’s not how it is. It’s the opposite, if anything … 
‘Once critics started seeing my face … then suddenly ESPN is too liberal because what they’re really trying to say is ‘Oh, y’all must be liberal-leaning because you got all these women and all these [b]lack people who are suddenly on my TV everyday.’”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/4399703" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shannon Portillo</a> is a Professor and the Director of the School of Public Affairs at Arizona State University. According to Portillo’s biography, “Her work helps scholars and practitioners understand how inequities are institutionalized in public organizations … [She also] served as co-chair of Kansas Governor Laura Kelly’s Commission on Racial Equity and Justice.”

Portillo’s <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Kw7ABu8AAAAJ&amp;hl=en&amp;oi=ao" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published works</a> include topics such as “Social Equity,” “Law &amp; Society,” and “Street-Level Bureaucracy.” She co-authored a paper entitled “<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G6j6mAfv3ycBqEtPvz4qR70Tjk8GBjgH/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advancing Social Equity in the Minnowbrook Tradition</a>,” which discussed the “goals of valuing social equity and using it as a guide in managing public programs.” 

In her work, Portillo refers to a meeting called Minnowbrook I that took place following the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. According to the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G6j6mAfv3ycBqEtPvz4qR70Tjk8GBjgH/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Minnowbrook 50 Social Equity Manifesto</a>, “[A] group of public administration scholars met to reflect on the implications of the social and environmental circumstances for [their] discipline … [Their] call to action … focused on ways to intersect and integrate social equity in the research, teaching, and practice of public administration.”
In the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G6j6mAfv3ycBqEtPvz4qR70Tjk8GBjgH/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Minnowbrook paper,</a> Portillo et al. wrote:
“In 40 years since Minnowbrook I, the concern for social equity has grown to the point where it now occupies a firm place within the academy … However, despite its growth and general acceptance as a core area of research and concern, evidence of gross societal inequities in the United States and the global community abound.”
Portillo was featured in the <a href="https://news.ku.edu/news/article/2022/02/17/public-administration-should-consider-effects-whiteness-masculinity-well-representation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KU News article</a> titled “Public administration should consider effects of whiteness, masculinity as well as presentation, researchers say,” where she offered her perspective on gender and racial discrimination in the industry.

Portillo states that during President Woodrow Wilson’s term, a push for segregation led to discrimination and the “normalization of white men in bureaucratic roles.” Any truth in this statement is neutralized by her contradictory claim that “[w]hite men have been in charge pretty much forever,” and, at the same time, “[w]e need more empirical evidence” to know whether white men in leadership have helped or harmed professional communities.

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/4219914" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lydia HaRim Ahn</a> is an Assistant Professor in Counseling and Counseling Psychology at Arizona State University. According to her university profile, Ahn’s academic interests include the following:

“1) examining the detrimental effects of racism and oppression on marginalized communities with an emphasis on within group differences, 2) developmental protective and risk factors between racism and health outcomes with a focus on ethnic-racial socialization and parenting, and 3) enhancing positive psychological outcomes and change through psychotherapy, evidence-based videos, and prevention and intervention programming.” 
In February, Ahn and Thomas P. Le co-wrote an <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Asian American Women’s Racial Dating Preferences: An Investigation of Internalized Racism, Resistance and Empowerment against Racism, and Desire for Status.” In the abstract for the article, the authors state their purpose for writing it: 
“To further understand racialized desire among this underrepresented population, the present study examined the extent to which three sociocultural factors (i.e., internalized racism, resistance and empowerment against racism, and desire for status) were associated with two attraction outcome variables (i.e., dating preferences, physical attraction) across four racial categories of men: Asian men, Black men, Latino men, and White men.” 
They claim the factors of “internalized racism, resistance and empowerment against racism, and desire for status” have caused Asian American women to have a “stronger dating preference toward White men and weaker dating preference and physical attraction to Asian men.”  

In a section of the article titled “Internalized Racism,” the authors address their research on male dating preferences based on race. Focusing on Asian American women, the authors state that the demographic faces “gendered racial microaggressions and model minority stereotypes that produce internalized racism.” They then focus on the differences between Asian and white men with regard to Asian women and dating: 
“Asian American women have reported a desire to date White men for the sake of economic security, as well as to assimilate into White American society, even if their White male partners engaged in racial fetishization of Asian women (Nemoto, <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR50" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2006</a>). This preference may promote stereotypes of Asian American men as undesirable and perpetually foreign (Wong &amp; McCullough, <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR69" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021</a>) and Black and Latino men as inferior to white men (Cascalheira &amp; Smith, <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2020</a>). Furthermore, Asian American women face gendered racism (Gamst et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR15" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2023</a>), or experiences of discrimination that are based upon the intersections of their race and gender, which contributes to their disempowerment and negative self-worth within the United States (Ahn et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022</a>).”
The authors conclude their study:
“Overall, our findings highlight how Asian American women’s romantic and intimate desires may be shaped by internalized racism, resistance and empowerment, and desire for social status. Asian American women face gendered racial microaggressions and model minority stereotypes that produce internalized racism (Ahn et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022</a>; Juang et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR26" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2018</a>; Wei et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR68" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2008</a>).”

Lober also serves as the director of ASU’s Academy of Lactation Programs and the clinical research director at Banner University Medical Center–Phoenix.

During an ASU presentation in March 2023, Lober pointed out that part of the Lactation Programs vision is to “normalize breastfeeding and human milk feeding as an act of social justice and health promotion.”

According to The Fix, “Lober opened the one-hour moderated discussion by stating she ‘got into this space because the United States hates women and everything the female body does.’” 

The School Board Watchlist did not uncover the original audio from the event. However, <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/cannibalism-forced-breeding-professors-fearmonger-abortion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Live Action </a>pointed out:
“Lober also argued that she is discouraging her children from having children, and said the decline in birth rates is a good thing—because the planet is overpopulated. Yet, ironically, the ASU <a href="https://asuevents.asu.edu/event/jenny-irishs-hatch-speculative-future-reproductive-rights?eventDate=2024-08-28&amp;id=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">events page</a> states that Lober’s ‘research is focused on establishing lactation and breastfeeding as a public health imperative’ and that she ‘is dedicated to working for a better world for families’...How, exactly does not create a better world for families or better health for children by encouraging abortion?”
Conservative lawyer and journalist, Jonathan Turley, <a href="https://jonathanturley.org/2024/09/01/the-united-states-hates-women-asu-event-offers-dystopian-anti-capitalist-vision-of-america/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mentioned</a> Lober in an article titled “‘The United States Hates Women’: ASU Event Offer Dystopian, Anti-Capitalist Vision of America.” Reflecting on Lober’s resolution for a future America without abortion, Turley said she called for the audience “to help ‘dismantle capitalism’ and ‘elect a female president.’”

Since the event, Lober has not commented publicly on her role in the conversation with Irish. Based on mainstream media reactions, both professors are committed to espousing anti-American and anti-family values.

The KJZZ host asked Irish to comment on her “associations” with the King novel “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Carrie-Stephen-King/dp/1984898108/ref=asc_df_1984898108/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=692875362841&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=14364719003284224040&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9061155&amp;hvtargid=pla-2281435178818&amp;psc=1&amp;mcid=d9f4354e402c38979d3d64dbfc2a5893&amp;hvocijid=14364719003284224040-1984898108-&amp;hvexpln=73" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carrie</a>”—the story of a high school outcast with telekinetic powers who eventually murders her bullying classmates by setting the town on fire. 

Irish responded to the interviewer stating:
“‘Carrie’ is amazing in the fact that [it] was written 50 years ago, but there’s so much about it that feels pretty tragically contemporary. If Carrie White had had access to a decent sex ed class, the town of Chamberlain, Maine, would still be standing…[I]t’s not hard to think about that in the midst I feel of our current kind of sociopolitical moment, where there’s such an assault on bodily autonomy and considerations of the rights of people to define their own identity and their own bodies and their relationships to them.”
On August 30, 2024, Irish was featured in The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/u-s-hates-women-faces-future-of-cannibalism-forced-breeding-camps-asu-event/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> entitled “U.S. ‘hates women,’ faces future of cannibalism, ‘forced breeding campus’: ASU event.” In <a href="https://lincolncenter.asu.edu/wb-workshop-HATCH" target="_blank" rel="noopener">partnership</a> with ASU Professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angelalober" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angela Lober</a>, Irish <a href="https://asuevents.asu.edu/event/jenny-irishs-hatch-speculative-future-reproductive-rights?eventDate=2024-08-28&amp;id=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hosted an event</a> centered on releasing her new book “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Hatch/9sHtEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;printsec=frontcover">Hatch</a>,” a collection of prose poems exploring the future of the human race surviving through AI.

According to <a href="https://nupress.northwestern.edu/9780810146969/hatch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northwestern University Press</a>:
“The prose poems in Jenny Irish’s newest collection, Hatch, trace the consciousness of an artificial womb that must confront the role she has played in the continuation of the dying of the human species. This apocalyptic vision engages with the most pressing concerns of this contemporary sociopolitical moment: reproductive rights, climate crises, and mass extinction; gender and racial bias in healthcare technology…and the possibilities and dangers of artificial intelligence.”
In the following excerpt, Irish appears to describe an abortion from the artificial womb’s perspective.

In an <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/asus-dr-owen-anderson-warns-of-new-policies-threatening-academic-freedom">interview with Turning Point USA</a>, Dr. Anderson stated that he, and his colleagues, were asked to “decolonize” their course syllabi. He described decolonization according to ASU’s definition:
“Decolonize means you become aware of any Western, and especially Christian, influences in your syllabus, and you replace those with what they would call ‘Indigenous people’s perspectives.’ Decolonizing comes out of a communist philosophy…It’s a political philosophy that’s being adopted by ASU to push on the students.”
During the interview, Dr. Anderson also said since he teaches world religions and philosophies, he believes his courses are culturally diverse, therefore, his lesson plans don’t need to be revised.

On March 19, 2024, Dr. Anderson <a href="https://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Complaint-Final-with-exhibits.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed a complaint</a> with the Arizona Board of Regents after ASU mandated diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training for faculty and staff members. In <a href="https://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/case/dismantling-asus-discriminatory-dei-regime/">partnership</a> with the Goldwater Institute, he brought the lawsuit to prohibit the college from using race, ethnicity, or sex—which goes against state and federal laws—to hire and retain employees.

In a June 18 <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/06/my-university-required-dei-training-im-suing/">opinion editorial</a> titled “My University Required DEI Training. I’m Suing,” Dr. Anderson wrote:
“I’m in favor of each of those terms: Diversity…equity…and inclusion…are undoubtedly good things. But when I began the mandatory training, I found something troubling: It engaged in race blaming, warning of the supposed ‘problem’ of whiteness and encouraged judgment of people based on their skin color. I could not, in good conscience, continue such racist training.”
Dr. Anderson <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/asus-dr-owen-anderson-warns-of-new-policies-threatening-academic-freedom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> TPUSA that he believes these cultural shifts occurred as a result of ASU’s evolving definition of “multiculturalism,” which he also said, “caused respect for Christians to deteriorate on campus.”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/1429800" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julia Sarreal</a> is a Professor in the School of Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies at Arizona State University. Sarreal’s research interests include Latin American Studies, Food, Drugs, and Capitalism. Her top area of expertise is “Consumerism.”

On September 20, 2024, Sarreal was featured in The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/christian-professors-intro-to-christianity-class-torpedoed-at-asu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Christian professor’s ‘Intro to Christianity’ class torpedoed at ASU.” The piece covers the cancelation of <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/drowenanderson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor Dr. Owen Anderson’s</a> religious studies course. 

After the college rejected his class, it was revealed that Sarreal objected to the premise of Christianity being taught on campus. The Fix recorded her comments:

“The <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/771107095/REL-270-Introduction-to-Christianity-ASU-Dr-Owen-Anderson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">syllabus</a> reflects a Christian way of teaching Christianity, which is to say the course does not adequately provide the kinds of critical, reflective, disciplinary skills that students need to have in order to study religious traditions.”

“Furthermore, the focus on ‘Western Civilization’ is problematic. It is true that Christianity has been ‘influential’ in European history, it has also been deeply influential elsewhere in ways that are completely ignored in the syllabus.” 

Based on the feedback Sarreal received from Dr. Anderson, it appears she either did not read the syllabus or chose to interpret the lesson plans through an objectionable lens. Sarreal specifically described one of the modules as being “focused on ‘the’ biblical worldview” and called this a “fraught oversimplification.”

Profile in progress. Please check back.

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/3924315" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ruben Espinosa</a> is Professor of English and Director of the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at Arizona State University (ASU). According to his faculty profile, Espinosa’s studies are chiefly focused on the work of William Shakespeare. 

On September 16, 2024, ASU’s <a href="https://humanitiesinstitute.asu.edu/events" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Humanities Institute</a> hosted a panel with Espinosa and Professor Curtis Austin on cultural appropriation concerning the plays of Shakespeare. The <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/arizona-state-u-scholars-condemn-white-ownership-of-shakespeare/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">event</a> is described by the university as such: 
“What constitutes cultural appropriation, and when is it unethical? Should we adopt voices beyond our own, and if so then what factors must be weighed beforehand?”
“Pressing on hard research questions may lead to ethical dilemmas of how to speak in relation to another. This panel will discuss what it means to think, research, and write across cultures and ways of being.”  
In an audio recording of a l<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/arizona-state-u-scholars-condemn-white-ownership-of-shakespeare/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ecture</a> obtained by the College Fix, Espinosa connected the alleged “white exceptionalism” of January 6 rioters U.S. Capitol protesters to Shakespeare. These two are both claimed to be symbols of “white exceptionalism” and “racial hierarchy.” The professor stated:

“It kind of has this origin in anti-immigrant sentiments, right, all the way to January 6th, when we think about that white exceptionalism, and this notion of a kind of white ownership of Shakespeare.”
Espinosa believes that “Shakespeare is the epitome or the marker of white exceptionalism” and sits at the top of the “racial hierarchy.” Thereby, he attached the poet to “whiteness” exclusively over humanity independent of race. 

In 2021, Espinosa published a book titled “<a href="https://www.routledge.com/Shakespeare-on-the-Shades-of-Racism/Espinosa/p/book/9780367183004">Shakespeare on the Shades of Racism</a>.” The publisher’s description states:
“Shakespeare on the Shades of Racism examines Shakespeare in relation to ongoing conversations that interrogate the vulnerability of Black and brown people amid oppressive structures that aim to devalue their worth. By focusing on the way these individuals are racialized, politicized, policed, and often violated in our contemporary world, it casts light on dimensions of Shakespeare’s work that afford us a better understanding of our ethical responsibilities in the face of such brutal racism.”

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

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

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

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

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

<a href="https://uvahealth.com/findadoctor/profile/christine-m-burt-solorzano" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christine M. Burt Solorzano</a> is a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the <a href="https://www.virginia.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Virginia</a> (UVA), who described performing gender transitions on children as young as 9 years old in.

The UVA-affiliated hospital that employs Solorzano lists <a href="https://childrens.uvahealth.com/services/transgender-youth-health" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a range of procedures available to “trans, nonbinary, intersex, and asexual” children as young as 11 years old</a>. The “Transgender Youth Health Services” advertised include:

- Education about sex and contraception.

- Referrals for therapy to help manage anxiety, depression, and ongoing emotional issues.

- Puberty blockers that delay sex-related physical changes.

- Help in finding resources in the community.

- Referrals for gender-affirming surgeries and voice therapy.

The clinic requires an official diagnosis of gender dysphoria by a medical professional and consent from a parent or guardian to treat minors. However, the hospital’s definition of dysphoria is subjective; a diagnosis may only require that “a child’s sense of their gender differs from the sex assigned to them at birth.” Parents are not even required to attend initial appointments with their children.

In a lecture uncovered by The Daily Caller, <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2022/10/03/university-of-virginia-youth-gender-clinic-offers-puberty-blockers-chemical-castration-referrals-minors-undergo-breast-removal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Solorzano discusses performing “irreversible” surgeries</a> as a part of a gender transition. While claiming that many are only offered to those over 18, she states that children as young as 16 years old may receive double mastectomies. A masectomy–or “top surgery”—removes an otherwise healthy teenager's breasts as part of the female-to-male transition.

https://rumble.com/embed/v1jvzbw/?pub=4

&nbsp;

Further on, Dr. Solorzano discusses how she uses “cross-sex” hormones to block puberty in teens who transition. Acknowledging that while these drugs are not recommended for minors, she states that making a teen suffering from dysphoria undergo property is “cruel.” Dr. Solorzano believes that many teens are mature enough to make these “irreversible” decisions.

https://rumble.com/embed/v1jvz26/?pub=4

&nbsp;

Conceding that children must first begin puberty before treatment, Dr. Solorzano recalls consulting a 9-year-old girl on receiving hormones. She then claims that puberty blockers are temporary and puberty can be resumed at any time by stopping treatment.

https://rumble.com/embed/v1jvypy/?pub=4

&nbsp;

A common drug used to block puberty is called Lupron, which was <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designed to castrate sex offenders and is not approved by the FDA</a>. Even if the dosage is <a href="https://www.commonsense.news/p/top-trans-doctors-blow-the-whistle?s=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">halted mid-transition, children are still unable to undergo puberty.</a>

While available via Youtube for over eight years, the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzkf6OqNE2Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">university appears to have deleted Dr, Solorzano’s lecture following coverage by The Daily Caller as of publication.</a>

Her comments were delivered during a guest lecture—titled, “Diet Culture &amp; Weight Stigma”—in an “Exercise and Nutrition Medicine” course:
“The word ‘fat’ is inherently fatphobic because it signals to fat people, and really everybody uses that, right? So if you don’t want to use it, and use it, it’s bad, and it reinforces that thin is good and that’s not what we want to do.    
Brennhofer claims the term “fat” only indicates somebody’s body shape and “it’s not a negative descriptor:” 
“All fat does is describe somebody’s body shape and it’s not a negative descriptor. And so the body positivity community has really tried to like reclaim [fat] as their own. And its generally preferred over the medical terms of ‘overweight’ and ‘obese’ because those carry medical connotations.” 
Continuing, she urges the class to stop labeling foods “good or bad” and “guilting people” who eat them. Brennhofer claims that a person’s weight is based on their genetics and there is nothing dietitians can do to get their patients to lose weight;   
“So, you know, [there’s] a lot of myths. You know, this whole idea that weight is mainly biological, right? Is, like, that’s going to change our weight. Our body is just kind of at this point based on genetic factors. I mean, other things do play a role, but it’s mainly genetics.” 
Brennhofer tells students that it's “unethical” to tell patients how to lose weight because they have very little control over their size. She even claims there are negative health effects for patients that do lose weight:
“And the data that we have show [sic] that when people gain and lose mass amounts of weight, that actually increases the risk of other very serious health outcomes like cancer and cardiovascular disease.”

Liz Cheney is a <a href="https://news.virginia.edu/content/liz-cheney-serve-professor-practice-uva-center-politics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of Practice</a> at the University of Virginia. She is also the daughter of former Vice-President Dick Cheney (2001-2008). 

Cheney’s most controversial moments have come as one of the members of the January 6th Select Committee. Formed to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/30/politics/republicans-january-6-select-committee-vote/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investigate the Capitol protests of January 2021</a>, Cheney and the committee sought to portray the mostly peaceful protests <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/06/09/liz-cheney-jan-6-committee-full-statement-00038730" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as a directed attack on the Capitol and even democracy itself</a>. 

As Vice-Chair, Cheney had exclusive access to over forty-thousand hours of footage and still photos from the riots and wielded immense subpoena power. 

When former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon defied the committee's subpoena, <a href="https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2021/1015/Bannon-defies-Jan.-6-subpoena-cites-Trump-executive-privilege" target="_blank" rel="noopener">citing executive privilege</a>, Cheney voted to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211026010223/https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/21/politics/house-republicans-vote-yes-steve-bannon-contempt-of-congress/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hold him in contempt of Congress</a>. While appeals are still ongoing, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/steve-bannons-prison-sentence-delayed-appeal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bannon could face four months in jail</a>. 

When Peter Navarro—Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy under President Trump—defied the committee's subpoenas, Cheney <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/04/06/house-votes-scavino-navarro-contempt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted to hold him in Contempt of Congress</a> and referred Navarro to the Department of Justice for prosecution. Navarro was allegedly <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/06/03/report-peter-navarro-handcuffed-at-airport-and-frogmarched-to-the-courthouse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dragged off a plane by FBI agents</a> at the time of his arrest and “frog marched” into a jail cell where he <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/courts/with-no-legal-representation-navarro-pleads-for-extension-in-contempt-of-congress-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spent 24 hours without legal counsel or communications</a>. 

After 41,000 hours of <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/media/3866648-mccarthy-gives-fox-news-tucker-carlson-access-to-jan-6-capitol-surveillance-footage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Capitol footage was released to Tucker Carlson</a>, Cheney and the other committee members were scrutinized for selectively editing and withholding key evidence. Upon review, Tucker Carlson’s team determined that <a href="https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2023/03/08/too-bad-to-check-did-the-j6-committee-add-sound-effects-to-surveillance-videos-n535600" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sound effects were added to the footage</a> to make the protest seem more chaotic and violent. 

In one brief clip released by Cheney and the January 6th Committee, Senator Josh Hawley appears to be <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9kUmwRDjyI&amp;ab_channel=NBCNews" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fleeing the protests that Committee members accused him of instigating</a>. The full footage <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2023/03/06/tucker_carlson_january_6th_committee_lied_about_josh_hawley_running_away.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">withheld by the Committee</a> reveals dozens of congressmen were evacuated by the capitol police, and Hawley was jogging behind. 

While prominent officials claimed that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was murdered by protestors, released footage shows Sicknick—whose death was later determined to be caused by stroke—<a href="https://nypost.com/2023/03/06/footage-shows-capitol-cop-brian-sicknick-uninjured-on-jan-6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unharmed and directing protestors in the Capitol</a>. Electric bookmarks indicate Vice-Chair Cheney’s and the Committee reviewed the footage but <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/tucker-carlson-releases-exclusive-jan-6-footage-says-politicians-media-lied-about-sicknick-qanon-shaman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chose not to release it. </a>

 As Vice-President of the Committee, Cheney had access to the exculpatory footage of Jacob Chansley—nicknamed the “Q-Shaman”— but refused to release it. Chansley was <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/17/qanon-shaman-jacob-chansley-sentence-522807" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested and pled guilty to obstructing an official proceeding</a>. He is currently serving up to 41 months in prison. The footage shows Chansley being <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/tucker-carlson-releases-exclusive-jan-6-footage-says-politicians-media-lied-about-sicknick-qanon-shaman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">led around the capitol by police, who even opened doors for him</a>. Chansley’s lawyer claims the footage was <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/former-lawyer-qanon-shaman-says-jan-6-footage-wasnt-shown-client-calls-prison-sentence-tragedy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">withheld from the defense</a>. He had not even seen the footage until it was released after the trial concluded. 

Despite Cheney’s relentless pursuit of defendants, critics have noted her reluctance to subpoena Ray Epps, who is infamous for telling <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S66NWcSccwE&amp;ab_channel=ForbesBreakingNews" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protestors to “go into Capitol”</a>, and was present among the rioters who first breached the barricades.  

Despite his actions, Cheney has vocally defended Epps. When pressed by a student at the University of Chicago why the “insurrectionist” Epps hadn’t been arrested, the Vice-Chair <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/congress/liz-cheney-asked-about-prosecuting-ray-epps-jan-6-role-says-doj-makes-decision" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denounced the inquiry as a “conspiracy theory.”</a> 

Epps has long been <a href="https://www.revolver.news/2021/10/meet-ray-epps-the-fed-protected-provocateur-who-appears-to-have-led-the-very-first-1-6-attack-on-the-u-s-capitol/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspected of being a federal informant</a>, in part for remaining free despite being filmed agitating protestors to commit violence at the Capitol. <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-tucker-carlson-reveals-ray-epps-lied-in-sworn-testimony-to-jan-6-committee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Epps lied under oath about his whereabouts on January 6th</a>, but Cheney and the Committee made no attempts to refer Epps for prosecution. 

Cheney’s initial foray into politics came in 2013 when she primaried Wyoming Senator Mike Enzi. She spent most of her childhood and adult life outside of the state and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220519222115/https://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/17/us/politics/liz-cheney-to-challenge-senator-michael-enzi-of-wyoming.html">only moved to Jackson Hole in 2012</a>. Media outlets deemed Cheney a “<a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/onpolitics/2013/07/22/cheney-senate-wyoming-enzi-carpetbagger/2575197/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">carpetbagger</a>” after her campaign announcement <a href="https://theintercept.com/2021/05/12/liz-cheney-republican-house-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">geotagged her location in Virginia</a>, her primary residence at the time.    

Although eventually withdrawing, Cheney <a href="https://rollcall.com/2016/11/08/liz-cheney-wins-wyoming-house-seat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">successfully ran for Wyoming’s Lone House Seat in 2016</a>, where she served from 2016-2022 before <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/16/wyoming-alaska-primary-results-2022-00052216" target="_blank" rel="noopener">losing the primary by nearly 40 points</a> to challenger Harriet Hageman. 

While in Congress, Cheney took no public salary. Despite this, her personal wealth<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/08/11/records-liz-cheneys-net-worth-ballooned-much-600-percent-during-her-time-office/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> ballooned by over 600%</a>. Entering office with roughly $7 million dollars in assets, Cheney left six years later with an estimated net worth of $44 million. 

Much of Cheney’s <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/personal-finances/liz-cheney/net-worth?cid=N00035504" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wealth is tied to her stake in the law firm Latham &amp; Watkins</a>. Her husband, <a href="https://www.lw.com/people/PhilipJPerry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philip J. Perry</a>, has served as a partner since she first took office. The firm advised and lobbied on behalf of technology companies with direct connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). 

The State Department declared one company, Tencent, a “tool of the Chinese government” <a href="https://qz.com/1708662/chinese-tech-giants-tools-of-the-communist-party-us-official" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over surveillance and security concerns</a>.  Latham &amp; Watkins further <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/firms/summary?cycle=2004&amp;id=D000000536&amp;t0-search=exe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lobbied on behalf of Exelon</a>, a corporation that <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052970204358004577031241071779010" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aids the Chinese government’s nuclear program. </a>

While her <a href="https://www.lw.com/en/news/2020/11/latham-advises-tencent-music-on-investment-in-wave" target="_blank" rel="noopener">husband’s firm advised CCP companies</a>, Cheney <a href="https://www.congress.gov/member/liz-cheney/C001109?q=%7B%22subject%22%3A%22Armed+Forces+and+National+Security%22%7D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">handled classified information</a> regarding national security while serving on the Armed Services Committee. 

Upon Cheney’s acceptance of her position as Professor of Practice at the University, Virginia President Jim Ryan <a href="https://news.virginia.edu/content/liz-cheney-serve-professor-practice-uva-center-politics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated that he was “delighted</a> [that] students will have an incredible opportunity to learn from Liz Cheney, who has fiercely defended democracy as part of a distinguished career.” Director of the Center for Politics, Larry Sabato, called Cheney a “model of political courage and leadership.” Cheney’s position will run through the end of the Fall 2023 semester, with an option to renew upon the conclusion of the academic year.

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

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

David Carrillo is the first Adjunct Professor at Adams State University to hold a teaching position from prison. 
<a href="https://www.chalkbeat.org/colorado/2024/01/04/incarcerated-professor-teaches-college-classes-in-prison/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chalkbeat Colorado reported</a>, “On a late November [2023] afternoon, at the head of a cramped classroom, [Carrillo] stood at a small podium and quizzed 17 students on macroeconomic terminology. For the two-hour class, Carrillo … mostly kept his hands in his pockets as he lectured students.” 
Chalkbeat Colorado continued, “[Carrillo] holds a position that is extremely rare in prison: He’s an incarcerated professor teaching in a prison bachelor’s degree program. A new initiative at Adams State — one of the first of its kind in the country — focuses on employing incarcerated people with graduate degrees as college professors, rather than bringing in instructors from the outside.”
The source said Carrillo, who was supposed to serve a life sentence for a murder in 1993, was pardoned by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis after 29 years served.
<a href="https://www.denverpost.com/2023/12/22/polis-colorado-pardons-commutation-david-carrillo/">The Denver Post</a> provided more details on Carrillo’s charges, “[Carrillo], 49, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole in 1994 after he participated in [a] 1993 gang shooting … Carrillo, then 20, did not pull the trigger, but stood nearby during the slaying and was convicted as a conspirator.”
The Denver Post also said Carrillo was “praised” by the governor for earning a general education degree and two higher education degrees while serving time.
While incarcerated, Carrillo taught fellow inmates at the Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility. Upon his release, Carrillo could have an opportunity to serve on campus.
