Bill Mullen

<a href="https://cla.purdue.edu/directory/profiles/bill-mullen.html">Bill Mullen</a> is a professor of English and American Studies at Purdue University. As stated in his university profile, he specializes in “American Literature and Studies, African American Studies, Cultural Studies, Working Class Studies, Critical Race Theory, and Marxist Theory.” Mullen also serves as a member of the organizing collective for the US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel and is the co-founder of a national, campus-based ANTIFA organization. 
As part of the <a href="http://campusantifascistnetwork.com/">Campus Antifascist Network </a>(CAN), an ANTIFA-aligned group for university academics, Mullen <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/08/17/campus-group-proposing-broad-countermovement-against-white-nationalism-and-racism">described</a> his role as &#8220;to drive racists off campuses and to protect the most vulnerable from fascist attack.”
This sentiment is reflected in the <a href="http://campusantifascistnetwork.com/resources/">resources</a> listed on the CAN website. Not only does CAN declare that free-speech does not extend to “far-right” groups, it actively encourages students and faculty to confront groups on campus that they have labeled far-right, and lobbies universities to ban them. 
Mullen certainly believes that Turning Point USA should be banned from campus &#8211; he has previously <a href="https://mondoweiss.net/2017/07/where-zionism-right/">described</a> TPUSA as an “alt-right” group. 
As Faculty Advisor for Purdue&#8217;s Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and part of the organizing collective for the Campaign for Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, Bill spends much of his time demonizing Israel as an Apartheid State and <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/educators-cant-stay-silent-about-israeli-apartheid/10928">advocates</a> for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement (BDS). 
Mullen and SJP at Purdue both have a <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Bill_Mullen">history</a> of defending terrorists, with the latter <a href="https://purduesjp.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/myths_formated.pdf">writing</a> in 2009 that it is a &#8220;myth&#8221; that Hamas is a terrorist organization.
Mullen has also lauded terrorists, as Ghassan Kanafi is featured prominently on his <a href="https://www.billvmullen.com/welcome">personal blog</a>. <a href="https://www.camera.org/article/presbyterian-peacemakers-omit-relevant-facts-about-ghassan-kanafani/">Kanafi</a> is a Marxist-Lennist Terrorist known for his role in the <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/1550/justice-for-the-victims-of-the-lod-airport-attack">Lod Airport Massacre</a> in Israel that tragically killed 26 innocent civilians and injured an additional 80. His blog itself is titled, &#8220;From the River to the Sea,&#8221; a popular phrase used by those who want to wipe Israel off the map from the Jordan River to the Medditeranian Sea.
Mullen has also used his Facebook to call for the release of Khader Adnan, who is a convicted terrorist with Palestian Islamic Jihad.

<a href="https://polytechnic.purdue.edu/profile/aleejr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Alvin Lee</a> is an Employee Relations Specialist from <a href="https://www.purdue.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Purdue University</a>. In 2016, Mr. Lee hosted a presentation in a business relationship class that labeled phrases such as, “American is a melting pot,” as “microaggressions.”

Harvard Professor Chester M. Pierce—who first coined the phrase—<a href="https://www.vox.com/2015/2/16/8031073/what-are-microaggressions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defines microaggressions as literal, “racial assaults” on minorities by white people</a>.

“These [racial] assaults to black dignity and black hope are incessant and cumulative. Any single one may be gross. In fact, the major vehicle for racism in this country is offenses done to blacks by whites in this sort of gratuitous neverending way. These offenses are microaggressions.“ - Chester M Pierce

Universities and public officials will often censor words or phrases they consider fit this definition. In 2018, the University of California <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/03/17/calling-america-land-opportunity-microaggression-says-university-california/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">labeled the phrase, “America is the land of opportunity,” as a microaggression.</a> In 2021, administrators at Brandeis University <a href="https://www.brandeis.edu/parc/accountability/oppressivelanguagelist_identitybased.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">listed phrases like, “policeman” and, “you guys,” under a University-sponsored “Oppressive Language List</a>.”

Due to a California law passed in 2017, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/california-law-allows-prison-using-wrong-gender-ryan-saavedra" target="_blank" rel="noopener">failure to refer to a person’s preferred gender pronouns is now a jailable offense</a>. Those convicted may be sentenced for up to a year in jail.

Mr. Lee likewise <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/saying-america-melting-pot-microaggression-purdue-class-teaches/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">urges students to curtail speech he considers to be microaggressions. </a>Several examples included the following:

- Asking a student, “Where are you from?”

- “You are so articulate.”

- “America is a melting pot”

- “There is only one race, the human race”

- “When I look at you, I don’t see color”

- “I’m not racist, I have several black friends”

- “I believe that the most qualified person should get the job.”

- “Everyone can succeed in this society if they work hard enough.”

- Using the pronoun, “he” to refer to all people.

During the same lecture, Mr. Lee claimed “hundreds” of active hate groups are operating in the United States today. He was referencing data compiled by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a self-ordained civil rights <a href="https://www.splcenter.org/what-we-do" target="_blank" rel="noopener">group</a> whose objective is purportedly the dismantlement of white supremacy.

Despite its mission statement, the organization effectively operates as a left-wing think tank. As City Journal notes, the SPLC operated “Hatewatch” exists to publish<a href="https://www.city-journal.org/html/demagogic-bully-15370.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> partisan attacks on groups with right-of-center positions</a>. Conservative groups are labeled as extremists, while destructive, Left-wing organizations like Antifa are virtually ignored.

Thanks to its prolific fundraising operations, the organization has successfully monetized its left-wing smear campaigns. The <a href="https://freebeacon.com/issues/southern-poverty-surpasses-half-billion-in-assets-121-million-now-offshore/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SPLC’s assets exceed half a billion dollars</a> with $121 million residing in offshore bank accounts alone.

Mr. Lee’s goals, as written in his presentation, include, “teaching students to understand and accept people’s similarities and differences and learn to treat everyone with dignity and respect.” Following the presentation, The College Fix also reports that Mr. Lee assigned students an exercise titled “Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Class Bingo,” which aimed to highlight their differences.

<a href="https://www.cla.purdue.edu/directory/profiles/cheryl-cooky.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cheryl Cooky</a> is a Professor of American Studies and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Purdue University. According to her university profile, Cooky’s research focuses on “gendered media representations of sport; gender politics of sport and public policies; and how gender shapes sports experiences, cultural meanings, and organizational structures in sports.”

In March 2022, Cooky penned an op-ed for <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/we-should-be-celebrating-lia-thomas-we-did-jackie-robinson-ncna1292521" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a> arguing that Lia Thomas—the biological male who swam on the University of Pennsylvania’s women’s swim team—”should be embraced in the history of progress that sports represent and recognized as the trailblazer that she is.” She says, “For anyone who cares about the advancement of sports, and women’s sports in particular, her win should be celebrated.”

Cooky believes the argument that transgender women have an unfair competitive advantage against biological women is not well founded. She claims, “There is a lack of scientific evidence that conclusively demonstrates a direct link between testosterone and athletic performance.” Rather, she <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/lia-thomas-nbc-news-jackie-robinson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attributes differences</a> in men’s and women’s athletic performances to factors such as “coaching and training, psychological makeup of an athlete, [and] access to resources and equipment.”

Cooky argues Lia Thomas’s “first” of winning the NCAA Division I championship as a transgender athlete is equivalent to Jackie Robinson’s “first” of playing in the MLB.
“There remains though a cultural investment in celebrating sports’ ‘firsts,’ whether that be Robinson as the first Black MLB player, the first openly gay active player in the NBA, the first nonbinary U.S. athlete to participate in the Winter Olympics or the first woman to score in a Power Five college football game.” 
She concludes:
“Part of what makes the ‘first’ stories so compelling is the resilience, determination and love for the sport exhibited by these athletes and their motivation to break down barriers, despite the naysayers. Thomas, as the first transgender athlete to win a Division I NCAA championship, deserves to be placed among the other firsts.”

<a href="https://www.cla.purdue.edu/directory/profiles/aaron-dial.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aaron Joseph Dial</a> is a <a href="https://www.disconetwork.org/fellowships" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DISCO Network</a> Postdoctoral Research Fellow at <a href="https://theconversation.com/institutions/purdue-university-1827" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Purdue University</a>. His profile on <a href="https://theconversation.com/profiles/a-joseph-dial-1430294" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Conversation</a> states that his “expertise is in materialist and digital media studies, digital humanities, and cultural studies of technology and race. These areas of expertise inform my research and teaching interests, which, broadly sketched, are Black studies, affective labor, popular culture, urban spaces and temporal flows, and the nexus between sports and science and technology.”

In an April piece for The Conversation titled “<a href="https://theconversation.com/in-air-michael-jordans-silence-speaks-volumes-about-the-marketing-of-black-athletes-203824" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In ‘Air,’ Michael Jordan’s silence speaks volumes about the marketing of Black athletes</a>,” Dial argued that the movie “Air” depicts what he deems is the exploitation of the black body by Nike in the creation of the Air Jordan basketball sneaker. 

‘“Air”’ becomes the story of how a struggling company created one of the most successful brands in the world on the back of a Black body, a tale as old as the nation itself,” Dial claims.

In the article, he reveals that he is “writing a book that explores the intimate connections between sneakers and Blackness. In it, I argue that the Black body’s long history of objectification and commodification undergirds the branding, mass consumption and culture of sneakers.”

Dial claims that the Air Jordan sneaker is an “extension” of the black body, which the film conveys (in his opinion):
“What ‘Air’ does better than anything else is to unbox a provocative, sobering truth about Jordans’ meteoric rise: They are cast as literal extensions of Black bodies. They represent the literal molding of a Black man’s feet, with their vulcanized rubber, leather and laces encapsulating Black athletic greatness and cool.”
According to Dial, this has been a part of Nike’s business agenda: “[S]ix years after the development of the air midsole, David Falk cracked the code of Nike’s transparent, little black box: Don’t market the technology. Market the body that wears it.”

Dial responded to Peter Moore's position in the movie, claiming that sneakers have "always existed." Dial stated, “What Moore cannot know is how right he really is. Deloris Jordan and those five buried generations have always been here.” 

He then compared that statement with his idea of the black body and its abuse by the United States historically and currently:

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-3024 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Copy-of-Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-e1688060718910-1024x657.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="411" />

In June, Dial published a piece titled “<a href="https://theconversation.com/ja-morant-shows-how-a-good-guy-with-a-gun-can-never-be-black-206161" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ja Morant shows how a ‘good guy with a gun’ can never be Black</a>.” This article is about the recent firearm debacle with NBA player Ja Morant, who has received much censure from within and without the NBA for being caught wielding a gun on camera on two separate occasions. 

Dial states, “I’m not looking to defend Morant’s behavior. It was careless, and he could have harmed himself and others. <a href="https://www.cla.purdue.edu/directory/profiles/aaron-dial.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">But as a scholar of Black popular culture</a>, I can’t help but wonder what the reaction would have been if Morant were white.”

He claims the gun culture prevalent in the United States has treated Morant with a double standard that a white person would not have been treated with:
“To many politicians and activists in the gun-obsessed U.S., the freedom to own and flaunt firearms is a sacred right. And yet throughout the nation’s history, gun ownership among Black Americans has elicited fear and recrimination. Even when folks who look like Morant innocuously and legally possess a gun, they find themselves too easily typecast as villains.”
Dial laments the “metaphor of guns” that is used to make nicknames, describe athletic actions in sports, or respond to an exciting play:
“The metaphor of guns also saturates the league in ways that <a href="https://theconversation.com/the-warspeak-permeating-everyday-language-puts-us-all-in-the-trenches-121356" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reflect the country’s obsession with firearms</a>…The alias of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Kirilenko">Andrei Kirilenko</a>…was ‘AK- 47.’ Fans anointed Lakers guard <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/lakers-guard-austin-reaves-wants-to-get-rid-of-ar-15-nickname/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Austin Reaves</a> with the nickname “AR-15”...

<a href="https://polisci.indiana.edu/about/faculty/sinno-abdulkader.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abdulkader Sinno</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Indiana University Bloomington. He also teaches Middle Eastern Studies and publishes works dealing with “public attitudes towards Muslim immigration” and the “Islamist parties’ participation in elections.”
In January 2024, Sinno was featured in the <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty-issues/shared-governance/2024/01/11/indiana-u-sanctions-professor-supporting-pro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inside Higher Ed article</a>, “Indiana U Sanctions Professor Who Advised Pro-Palestinian Students.” Sinno’s guest speaker was pro-Palestinian activist <a href="https://mikopeled.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miko Peled</a>, who has called for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel. According to his website, Peled also advocates for “the creation of one democratic state with equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians” despite the <a href="https://embassies.gov.il/holysee/AboutIsrael/the-middle-east/Pages/The%20Hamas-Covenant.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">genocidal goals</a> of the Palestinian government.
The publication explains how Sinno was temporarily <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CbFlUIN8KXaM-oLB01RcDO_1yAi2ew8n/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspended</a> after “he helped book a room on campus for a November [2023] event hosted by the Palestine Solidarity Committee, a student organization.”
Inside Higher Ed said:
“Sinno booked the event space on November 6 without issue. But on November 15 … [a U.S. representative] sent a strongly worded letter to IU president Pamela Whitten, raising questions about alleged incidents of antisemitism on campus … That evening, Sinno said, his department chair told him to cancel the room reservation because he’d allegedly violated university policy by listing the department as the event sponsor.”
Over 350 faculty have signed an online <a href="https://www.petitions.net/open_letter_in_support_of_professor_abdulkader_sinno" target="_blank" rel="noopener">petition</a> demanding Sinno’s immediate <a href="https://politicalsciencenow.com/apsa-statement-on-indiana-universitys-sanctioning-of-professor-abdulkader-sinno/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reinstatement</a>. In March 2024, IU’s review board <a href="https://www.idsnews.com/article/2024/04/iu-administrator-violated-policy-suspending-professor-abdulkader-sinno" target="_blank" rel="noopener">determined</a> that university policy was violated in Sinno’s case. 
Sinno’s penalty bars him from teaching until the Fall of 2024. As of publication, he has not been reinstated.

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

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

Abortion is a healthcare procedure that can be life-saving for some people.”

After Roe v. Wade was overturned, Dr. Scott was featured in a <a href="https://www.wthr.com/article/news/special-reports/indiana-abortion/indiana-university-school-of-medicine-adjusting-ob-gyn-residency-program-after-abortion-ban/531-8d3a24b8-29a6-48b0-981b-5c0e12ee3819" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WTHR</a> article titled, “IU School of Medicine adjusts OB-GYN residency program after abortion ban.” Dr. Scott stated, “Abortion care training is still a requirement for OB-GYN residents and the new legislation limits that to some degree for our resident doctors.”

Dr. Scott <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/08/10/1116024857/young-obgyns-indiana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims the residents</a> in the program are “devastated” by the Roe v. Wade decision, saying, “They signed up to provide comprehensive health care to women. And they are being told that they can’t do that.”

In response, the program will begin sending residents to Illinois to receive abortion training. However, she says:
“This is not as simple as just showing up in an office and saying, ‘Can I observe?’ This includes getting a medical license for out-of-state trainees. This includes funding for travel and lodging. It adds a lot to what we already do to educate future OB-GYNs.” 
Dr. Scott is concerned that the overturn of Roe v. Wade will affect the quality of candidates that are interested in Indiana University’s School of Medicine. She says “there’s no other specialty that is legislated to the degree that obstetrics and gynecology is,” and <a href="https://www.indystar.com/story/news/health/2022/06/30/indiana-doctors-nurses-medical-students-rally-abortion-rights-downtown/7777837001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims</a>:

According to her university profile, Dr. Neal also serves on a “new board for Planned Parenthood as part of the recent merger between Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky (PPINK) and Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest and the Hawaiian Islands (PPGNHI).”

In February 2023, Dr. Neal became the first Executive Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice and Chief Diversity Officer. According <a href="https://medicine.iu.edu/news/2023/01/chemen-neal-named-ead-deij" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to a press release</a>, Dr. Neal will “work closely with academic, research and clinical leaders across the organization to advance DEIJ strategic priorities for students, trainees, faculty and staff.”

Dr. Neal stated:
“Excellence in diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice elevates all members of our medical school community. As the largest medical school in the country, we have a responsibility to be leaders in health equity and inclusive excellence. To do that, DEIJ must be woven into all aspects of what we do—research, education, patient care, faculty and staff affairs, and community engagement.” 
Her new role <a href="https://www.wfyi.org/news/articles/new-leader-on-diversity-at-iu-school-of-medicine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">will be responsible for a variety of areas</a>, including:

Dr. Neal says some of her early goals in her new role include “establishing metrics to help school leadership gain a greater understanding of key areas like retention and belonging, as well as a focus on the diversification of faculty.”

She says:
“That is a big priority because of the direct relationship to health equity outcomes and organizational success. Meeting this priority will take a multifaceted approach that involves all aspects of our mission from culture to climate to research to education. After we understand where we are then we can make strategic plans for moving forward over the next several years.”

<a href="https://medicine.iu.edu/faculty/9156/rouse-caroline">Dr. Caroline Rouse</a> is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology at the Indiana University School of Medicine.

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

He also teaches Middle Eastern Studies and publishes works dealing with “public attitudes towards Muslim immigration” and the “Islamist parties’ participation in elections.”

In January 2024, Sinno was featured in the <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty-issues/shared-governance/2024/01/11/indiana-u-sanctions-professor-supporting-pro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inside Higher Ed article</a>, “Indiana U Sanctions Professor Who Advised Pro-Palestinian Students.” Sinno’s guest speaker was pro-Palestinian activist <a href="https://mikopeled.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miko Peled</a>, who has called for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel. According to his website, Peled also advocates for “the creation of one democratic state with equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians” despite the <a href="https://embassies.gov.il/holysee/AboutIsrael/the-middle-east/Pages/The%20Hamas-Covenant.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">genocidal goals</a> of the Palestinian government.

The publication explains how Sinno was temporarily <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CbFlUIN8KXaM-oLB01RcDO_1yAi2ew8n/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspended</a> after “he helped book a room on campus for a November [2023] event hosted by the Palestine Solidarity Committee, a student organization.”

Inside Higher Ed said:
“Sinno booked the event space on November 6 without issue. But on November 15 … [a U.S. representative] sent a strongly worded letter to IU president Pamela Whitten, raising questions about alleged incidents of antisemitism on campus … That evening, Sinno said, his department chair told him to cancel the room reservation because he’d allegedly violated university policy by listing the department as the event sponsor.”
Over 350 faculty have signed an online <a href="https://www.petitions.net/open_letter_in_support_of_professor_abdulkader_sinno" target="_blank" rel="noopener">petition</a> demanding Sinno’s immediate <a href="https://politicalsciencenow.com/apsa-statement-on-indiana-universitys-sanctioning-of-professor-abdulkader-sinno/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reinstatement</a>.

The AJC reports that Jones defined terms like cisgender, transgender, gender fluid, non-binary, agender, gender neutral, and genderqueer in her class. She also taught about sexualities such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual. 
In an interview with <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-under-fire-for-teaching-gender-is-a-spectrum/">The College Fix</a>, Jones claimed that sex is not a dichotomy. 
“&#8230;I teach them very clearly in one lecture that sex is biological. Sex is not dichotomous. When I teach them sex and gender, I teach them really carefully that sex is not a dichotomy.”  
She continued:
“Everybody thinks there’s only male and female, but that’s not true,” Jones added. “Sex is very much bimodal and emotionally they’re males and females, but there are a lot of things that can happen in sexual development that can lead to intersex conditions. There are even human hermaphrodites.”

UHN says that “queer dance” “can be traced back to the 1980s, [and] was born out of gay and lesbian dance clubs and ballroom culture and has been widely popularized on stage by pop artists such as Lady Gaga and Madonna.”

According to UHN, “Queer dance also features performing art forms such as impersonation, lip-synching and pantomime. The UH Mānoa course incorporates techniques and choreography created by Asian and Pacific Islander māhū (identity with male and female characteristics) here in Hawaiʻi.”

Akuna is also a drag queen who goes by the stage name of “Cocoa Chandelier” (see image below). According to his university profile, as a drag queen, Akuna “travels continuously as an advocate and spokesperson for HIV/AIDS, and is a long standing member with the United Territories of Pacific Islanders in Alliance that serves the Native Pacific Island and MVPFAFF+ community across the Hawaiian islands and the Pacific.”

<a href="https://cas.uoregon.edu/directory/global/all/norgaard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kari Marie Norgaard</a> is the Director of Graduate Studies for Sociology and a Professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies at the University of Oregon. According to her university profile, “Dr. Norgaard has published and taught in the areas of environmental sociology, gender and environment, race and environment, climate change, sociology of culture, social movements and sociology of emotions.”

In 2012, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2123260/If-dont-believe-climate-change-sick-Oregon-professor-likens-skepticism-racism.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a> reported on a paper Norgaard wrote where she “compared skepticism of global warming to racism” and suggested that those who doubt climate change have a “sickness.” Daily Mail writes:
“The professor … argued that ‘cultural resistance’ to accepting humans as being responsible for climate change ‘must be recognised and treated’ as an aberrant sociological behaviour.” 
“Resolving skepticism about climate change alarmists, she added, is a challenge equitable to overcoming ‘racism or slavery in the U.S. South.’” 
Norgaard claims climate change has historically been seen “as either a hoax or fixable with minimal political or economic intervention.” She argues:
“This kind of cultural resistance to very significant social threat is something that we would expect in any society facing a massive threat.” 
In a <a href="https://pages.uoregon.edu/digital/uonews-archive/archive/news-release/2012/3/simultaneous-action-needed-break-cultural-inertia-climate-change-respons.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">media statement</a> issued by the University of Oregon, Norgaard stated:
“Climate change poses a massive threat to our present social, economic and political order. From a sociological perspective, resistance to change is to be expected. People are individually and collectively habituated to the ways we act and think. This habituation must be recognized and simultaneously addressed at the individual, cultural and societal level — how we think the world works and how we think it should work.”

In April of 2020, <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/157505/morbid-ideology-behind-drive-reopen-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lowndes published an article</a> in the New Republic bashing conservative officials and citizens alike for their “dangerous views” on COVID-19. In the article, he accuses conservatives in the U.S. House of Representatives of being “pathological” for their refusal to wear masks when voting on the coronavirus relief bill. He also claims conservatives only want the country to remain open to “keep the current wealth stratifications in place and protect the rich from economic harm.”

Many articles and research publications written during lockdowns detailed how <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/13/business/small-businesses-coronavirus.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">small businesses would simply not be able to survive</a> if they continued to be locked down. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/covid-19s-toll-on-u-s-business-200-000-extra-closures-in-pandemics-first-year-11618580619" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal</a> noted that roughly 200,000 businesses permanently closed because of the pandemic. Lockdowns also caused many people in the United States to lose their jobs - approximately 9.6 million Americans were let go in 2020 due to COVID-19.

Besides “racist”, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJadc6GEfyA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lowndes also labels</a> conservatives as “conspiracy theorists” (particularly around COVID-19, election integrity, and BLM), “dangerous”, and “self-appointed vigilantes.”  He claims the “foe of those on the right” are opponents defined by race, religion, nationality, and immigrants from the outside. He accuses conservatives as demonizing anyone against their ideals.

<a href="https://www.heritage.org/conservatism/commentary/defining-the-principles-conservatism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conservative principles </a>are founded in the belief that the government should have limited involvement in the everyday life of American citizens. The federal government’s power should be restricted to what is outlined in the constitution. American individuals and families should have the right to decide what is best for their religion, health, and welfare without government involvement. Taxes should be limited only to what is necessary to fund constitutionally appropriate functions. None of these principles have any bearing on someone’s race, religion, or nationality.

In 2022, Millán published a book titled <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Chabelitas-Heart-coraz%C3%B3n-Chabelita-English/dp/1945289244" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Chabelita's Heart: El corazón de Chabelita.”</a> The publisher’s description for the book states: 
“Chabelita's hopes come true when Jimena, the new student whose eyes sparkle like stars, sits next to her. The more they learn about each other, the more they like each other and the more time they spend together. When Chabelita shares her special bow tie with Jimena on picture day, everybody knows that they like each other.”
“With the support of family and the reflection of important role models, Chabelita's Heart shows two kids as they grow into themselves and understand that "girls can like girls." Experiences of immigration/deportation, indigenous eco-activism, Mexican LGBTQ activism, as well as Mexican and Honduran culture serve as the backdrop highlighting the intersectionality of LGBTQ people.”

<a href="https://paulcollege.unh.edu/person/robert-woodward">Robert Woodward</a> is a Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of New Hampshire. Professor Woodward, according to an online schedule, usually teaches Health Economics on Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, he spent that time driving students to the polls in a car decorated with Democratic campaign posters - paid for by the Ready for Hillary Super PAC.

<a href="https://cola.unh.edu/person/robin-hackett">Dr. Robin Hackett</a> is a Professor of English and also teaches in the Women Studies program at the University of New Hampshire. She called for an investigation and expulsion of two people (possibly students) who jokingly wore a Harambe and Richard Nixon costume outside an anti-Trump event.

<a href="https://ceps.unh.edu/person/chanda-prescod-weinstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein</a> is an Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy and a Core Faculty Member of the <a href="https://cola.unh.edu/womens-gender-studies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Women’s and Gender Studies</a> Department at the <a href="https://cola.unh.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of New Hampshire</a>.

As a member of the organization, <a href="https://www.particlesforjustice.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Particles for Justice</a>, Dr. Prescod-Weinstein was a primary organizer for the “Strike for Black Lives” in June of 2020.

Particles for Justice is a far-left organization composed of scientists and mathematicians who are <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/physicists-condemn-sexism-through-particles-for-justice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dedicated to ending what they allege as “rampant racism and sexism in STEM fields</a>.” The group was first organized in 2018 to protest a lecture by physicist Alessandro Strumia, in which he affirmed that biological differences exist between men and women.

In the Summer of 2020, Dr. Prescod-Weinstein—who identifies as a <a href="https://magazine.scienceforthepeople.org/web-extras/particles-for-justice-racial-justice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“black queer femme physicist”</a> and an “<a href="https://www.cprescodweinstein.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">activist for equality in science</a>”—and other scientists organized the strike among academics in solidarity with the <a href="https://m4bl.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Movement for Black Lives</a> (MBL), also referred to as the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.

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>

According to an official letter for the group—co-authored by Dr. Prescod-Weinstein—the organizers allege black students feel unsafe on <a href="https://www.particlesforjustice.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“predominantly white campuses” and professors face “anti-blackness” in academia</a>. The organizers called for <a href="https://www.particlesforjustice.org/strike-details" target="_blank" rel="noopener">academics to cease their normal university duties and spend the day protesting or conducting “antiracist“ actions on behalf of BLM</a>. As of June 10th, 2020, the website listed 5,874 administrators and professors as having walked off their jobs during the strike.

In her own personal statement authored for the strike, Dr. Prescod-Weinstein describes her efforts organizing the strike and the ongoing national protests as <a href="https://www.particlesforjustice.org/note" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an attempt to “save her life" and “the lives of all black people.</a>” She further decries having to conform culturally and professionally to “whiteness,” and urges white people to take up anti-racist work in order to make black people feel more comfortable.

Dr. Prescod-Weinstein’s activism and views are further displayed on her <a href="https://twitter.com/IBJIYONGI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal Twitter account</a>. She consistently tweets condemnations of America and conservatives as racist, support for critical race theory, and accusations that Israel is committing genocide against Arabs:

Recently, there have been articles questioning Dr. Finkelhor's motives on the subject. <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/professor-says-minors-can-be-enthusiastically-involved-in-initiating-sexual-activities-with-adults" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Post Millennial</a> reports his statements, “There's not good enough research on issues related to maturity with regard to sexual behavior that allows a clear demarcation here.”  He noted that there can be elements of voluntary participation in statutory sex crimes wherein juveniles engage in sex with adults who are at least five years older than they are. Statutory rape, he said, is “much narrower than statutory sex crimes in general.”

Dr. Finkelhor’s rating on Rate My Professor is a <a href="https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=142310" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2.1 out of 5</a> with a number of reviews mentioning his teaching methods as “lecture heavy” and so on.

On January 8, 2021, Dr. Jefferson <a href="https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/storming-the-u-s-capitol-was-about-maintaining-white-power-in-america/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote an article for FiveThirtyEight</a> accusing white Americans and conservatives of leading the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021, stating that it was because of their inability to accept the election results. He argues that it is not just coincidental that the people who stormed the Capitol were white and many conservatives are white. He further criticizes conservatives by stating that the storming of the Capitol symbolized white Americans’ violent belief that they should have an “unlimited hold” on power in the United States. According to Dr. Jefferson, actions like the storming of the Capitol are “to be expected” from white people whose power or identity is threatened by diversity.
The storming of the U.S. Capitol took place on January 6, 2021. Opposing the certification of election results, things turned tempestuous when some of the protestors decided to break into the Capitol. It has been <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/exclusive-fbi-finds-scant-evidence-us-capitol-attack-was-coordinated-sources-2021-08-20/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">determined that these events were not planned</a> in advance or coordinated.
Dr. Jefferson <a href="https://twitter.com/hakeemjefferson/status/1323987468757073921" target="_blank" rel="noopener">frequently takes to Twitter</a> to discuss his political views. This was no different for the 2020 elections. In the tweet below, Dr. Jefferson points at conservatives for fear-mongering during the 2020 presidential election.

Dr. Jefferson repeatedly discusses the threat of white conservatives to America. He maintains that conservatives are a “dangerous mob of grievous white people” who are worried that their power is being threatened by minorities and diversity in politics. Not only does he take this stance on social media, but he teaches these ideas in his classroom as well. Below is a clip from one of his lectures at Stanford:

In his research, he claims that black Americans only identify as conservative because they don’t understand the meaning of the words “liberal” or “conservative.” In turn, black Americans who self-identify as “conservative” are wrong and are actually liberal. He states that black Americans’ results from the 7-point liberal-conservative scale cannot be trusted because they are not cognizant of the true meanings of the words.

<a href="https://profiles.stanford.edu/maxe-crandall" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maxe Crandall</a> is the “Associate Director of the Program in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Stanford University,” according to her university profile. 

The <a href="https://explorecourses.stanford.edu/search?view=catalog&amp;filter-coursestatus-Active=on&amp;q=COLLEGE%20103:%20Globally%20Queer&amp;academicYear=20222023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">description for Crandall’s course, “Globally Queer,”</a> states: 
“After all, are LGBTQ+ identities and rights one size-fits-all? Do they become a way for Western nations to once again set the standards by which others are judged developmentally deficient? In certain societies reference to a 'traditional' national way of thinking about gender and sexuality is simply a fig leaf for homophobia and transphobia.”
Crandall considers herself a poet and playwright. She has published nine print works and several articles. Among her works is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Nancy-Reagan-Collection-Maxe-Crandall/dp/1733038418" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Nancy Reagan Collection”</a> (1920), which, according to the description on Amazon, “is a response to growing up queer and trans under the rise of HIV-AIDS [during the Reagan era, the greatest era in American history]. Crossing genres and generations, this performance novel remixes the AIDS archive through an ever-spiraling politics and aesthetics of mourning.” 

The description further states, “Alternating chapters offer up a narrative throughline composed of hallucinogenic episodes from the perspective of a nameless, grieving protagonist in the midst of the global carnage of the Reagan dynasty. Part revenge, part fantasy, the book experiments with poetic practices that challenge conceptions of memory and morality, activism and escapism, grief and beauty.” On one page in “The Nancy Reagan Collection,” Crandall talks about Reagan’s “groping styles,” and a particular style of blouse she wears (see image below):

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2484 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Screen-Shot-2022-11-02-at-2.58.12-PM.png" alt="" width="408" height="516" />

In line with the content of her book, on Twitter Crandall tweeted that, during the AIDS Epidemic, First Lady Nancy Reagan abandoned the gay community which had been most afflicted by the disease. She tweeted the following (which has since been deleted upon the publication of this profile on November 2, 2022):
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
"My book opens w/ a revenge poem called “Red Ribbon,” a dressing down of Nancy in this exact portrait. To me, this portrait is a creepy foreshadowing, a harbinger of mass death—her standing alone in her own shadow having abandoned us all <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/forevertraitor?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#forevertraitor</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AIDS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#AIDS</a>"
In a poem called “Hands on Deck”, Crandall says the following:
</blockquote>
“I bend hard sex toward you
as if
starring
in a beach commercial
for my paradise of leaning”

Zahurullah told <a href="https://stanforddaily.com/2022/11/27/csre-30-stanfords-first-ever-course-on-addressing-islamophobia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Stanford Daily</a> that, “There are certain political groups on campus, namely Stanford College Republicans, who in years past have brought in very Islamophobic speakers.”

He also told The Stanford Daily, “We’re trying to understand what are all the different ways in which you can think about Islamophobia and how Islamophobia actually manifests, whether it’s explicit, like hate crimes and verbal abuse, or more systemic things like the Muslim ban that Trump tried to pass.” 

Regarding the course’s influence on student, Zaharullah “hopes the class sparks dialogue on the history of Islamophobic incidents on Stanford campus.”

According to <a href="https://stanforddaily.com/2023/10/18/stanford-suspended-a-lecturer-for-identity-based-targeting-heres-what-students-say-happened/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Stanford Daily</a>, Loggins has been reported and investigated for “identity-based targeting of students, according to an Oct. 11 University statement.” 

The <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/10/13/stanford-teacher-suspended-for-singling-out-jewish-students/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> reports the following about Loggins’ actions in class in light of the Hamas terror attacks on Israel in October 2023: 
“The lecturer… reportedly justified the slaughter of more than 1,300 Israelis by Hamas terrorists over the weekend, saying it was part of Palestinians’ resistance.”
“The teacher then asked Jewish students to raise their hands, separated them from their belongings and ordered them to stand in a corner, saying that is what Jews were doing to Palestinians, according to Nourya Cohen, one of the Israeli association presidents.”  
Loggins also asked his class, “how many Jews died in the Holocaust?” After a student responded “6 million,” Loggins replied, “Yes. Only 6 million.”

The university addressed Loggins’ status, in “<a href="https://news.stanford.edu/report/2023/10/11/update-stanford-community/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">An Update for the Stanford Community</a>,”:
“We have received a report of a class in which a non-faculty instructor is reported to have addressed the Middle East conflict in a manner that called out individual students in class based on their backgrounds and identities. Without prejudging the matter, this report is a cause for serious concern. Academic freedom does not permit the identity-based targeting of students. The instructor in this course is not currently teaching while the university works to ascertain the facts of the situation.”

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

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

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

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

In a piece for <a href="https://theconversation.com/trumps-promotion-of-an-image-of-strength-after-assassination-attempt-borrows-from-authoritarian-playbook-235038" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Conversation</a>, Ben-Ghiat wrote about the personal and sociopolitical effect of the July 13 assassination attempt on President-Donald Trump. She compared the assassination attempt with attempts made on fascist leaders in the 20th century:

“The effects of the assassination attempt on Trump are so far in line with authoritarian history. Chief among its aftereffects is a boost to Trump’s victimhood persona.” 

Ben-Ghiat continued on the same subject:
“[W]ith each failed attempt, the personality cult themes about the leader’s macho toughness, resilience and invincibility gain credence among his followers. This was certainly the case with Castro and Mussolini, and it has been the case so far with former President Donald Trump.”
The professor further claims that Trump wearing a bandage to cover his gunshot wound is a gesture similar to that of Benito Mussolini, who wore a large bandage on his nose after he was almost assassinated. 

According to Ben-Ghiat, these attempts-–including the one on Trump—have been used throughout history to justify authoritarianism:

“The assassination attempt on Trump may be used as justification for these measures, just as other attacks have been used by other authoritarians in history.”

Ben-Ghiat claims the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, were a “self-coup” by former President Donald Trump that influenced other similar alleged “coups” throughout the world. In a July 2024 blog <a href="https://lucid.substack.com/p/autocrats-like-trump-and-maduro-want" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a>, Ben-Ghiat wrote the following:

“Although Trump’s ‘self-coup’ failed (the term used for attempts by incumbents to stay in power illegally), it was influential abroad, inspiring Jair Bolsonaro’s failed Jan. 8, 2023 Brazilian insurrection. Having had a coup that led to a decades-long dictatorship, the Brazilians took the danger of propagating electoral fraud seriously, convicting Bolsonaro for it and banning him from politics until 2030.”  

The professor then drew connections between Chinese head of state Xi Jinping and President-elect Donald Trump:

“When Trump <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/184076/trumps-alarming-new-rant-praising-dictators-shows-media-failing-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">praises</a> Chinese head of state Xi Jinping for his ability to rule ‘with an iron fist,’ he is praising a situation in which opposition parties don’t exist, which makes elections moot and ‘simplifies’ political life.”

At the conclusion of her post, Ben-Ghiat claimed President-electTrumps' goal is to do away with elections altogether:

“The endgame of MAGA election denial is not challenging this or that election, but convincing Americans that elections as a practice are unnecessary. Trump would be delighted to relieve us of the ‘burden; of voting, just like Mussolini did for Italians a century ago.”

Around the same time as the publication of The Conversation piece, Ben-Ghiat did an interview with <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/13/ruth-ben-ghiat-strongmen-book-authoritarian-playbook">The Guardian</a> titled “Rule of the lawless: what does the authoritarian playbook look like?”

In the interview, Ben-Ghiat claimed that President-elect Trump will greatly benefit from the U.S. Supreme Court <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-939_e2pg.pdf">ruling</a> in favor of presidents having broad immunity from criminal prosecution. She also stated that Trump ran for president only to escape legal issues:

“Trump is part of the category of authoritarians who run for office, to get back into office, because they have charges against them, and they must get into power so they can make their legal problems go away. Regular politicians don’t want to run for office if they have indictments or charges, but the strongman must run for office because he must make himself feel safe from prosecution… Authoritarianism is about replacing the rule of law with rule by the lawless…”

In another interview in June with <a href="https://www.project-syndicate.org/onpoint/how-authoritarian-leaders-dismantle-democracy-trump-orban-netanyahu-meloni-by-ruth-ben-ghiat-2024-06-1-2024-06?h=zqERgfHOrWvhXfSv10C5SHJXn2IpYOHBijyEtez%2fd0M%3d&amp;]" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Project Syndicate</a>, Ben-Ghiat focused on Trump’s alleged tyrannical goal regarding presidential immunity: 

“I have no doubt that Trump would try to exert dictatorial power so that he could end his legal troubles and repress his critics and investigators without consequences.”

“Now add Trump’s quest to achieve personal immunity for any crimes he will commit, his efforts to attract more unscrupulous cronies by promising pardons, and his vow to grant police officers immunity from prosecution. It becomes easy to see how the rule of law would be transformed into rule by the lawless, with Trump as chief thug.”

<a href="https://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/faculty/ruth-ben-ghiat.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Ruth Ben-Ghiat</a> is a Professor of Italian and History at <a href="https://as.nyu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York University</a>. Her <a href="https://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/faculty/ruth-ben-ghiat.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">professional biography lists her as an expert on fascism, authoritarianism, war, propaganda, and Donald Trump.</a> She is the author of the book, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Strongmen-Mussolini-Present-Ruth-Ben-Ghiat/dp/1324001542" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Strongman: From Mussolini to the Present</a>,” and frequently makes appearances on CNN and MSNBC.

Dr. Ben-Ghiat frequently criticizes conservatives, characterizing them as violent and an outright threat to democracy. She additionally alleges that supporters of the second-amendment birthed a culture that directly resulted in the January 6th “insurrection.”

In an article for CNN—titled, “Parental control is a smokescreen tactic for right-wing activists”—Dr. Ben-Ghiat <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/14/opinions/parental-control-smoke-screen-right-wing-activists-ben-ghiat/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denounces parents who object to COVID-19 restrictions in schools</a>.

She is referring to <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/orange-county-parents-protest-vaccine-mandates-at-school-board-meeting/ar-AAPZFid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nation-wide protests occurring at county and district school boards</a>. Peaking during the Fall 2021 semester, parents with <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/education/2021/11/03/virginia-parents-democrats-crt-transgender-policies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">school-age children are vocally objecting to mandatory masking, COVID-19 vaccinations, and curriculum containing elements of critical race theory.</a> The epicenter of protests against county school boards stemmed from Loudon County, which saw Board Members <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/10/27/loudoun-county-parents-demand-resignations-over-sexual-assault/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allegedly participate in a cover-up of a sexual assault in a local high school.</a>

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

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

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

“The most grotesque feature of the 2016 election is the razor-thin spectrum of solutions proposed by the front runners to a historic set of problems…no viable candidate [offered] any hope for a radically more equal society: the policies on offer would merely mitigate the dire inequality that has been growing since Reagan…The United States is now, in effect, an oligarchy.”

In the chapter Sex Class, she says, 

“Gender currently divides the working class — women’s struggles are often pushed aside as if they are not half the population — but it shouldn’t be central to our struggle, an asset…The first step toward gender justice would require a reexamination of the nuclear family.”

“We aim to destigmatize conversations around sex and relationships while providing practical information to NYU students and our community. From stories of pleasure to compassionate insights, you’ll hear NYU community members discuss how they feel about their sexual journey, helpful information on the stigma around sex, education, and so much more!”

In October 2022, Elleman was a participant in NYU’s Student Government Association panel discussion on “Reproductive and Sexual Justice.” The session was closed to the general public but the description on Instagram says the event was held “to spread awareness about advocacy motives and initiatives on campus and beyond.”

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

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

<a href="https://marymount.edu/staff-members/marnel-niles-goins/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Marnel Niles Goins</a> is Associate Dean in the School of Design, Arts, and Humanities and Professor in the Department of Communication at Marymount University. 
Dr. Niles Goins is a proponent of black feminism and gender ideology. She explored relationships between black women in an article called “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10510974.2011.584934?needAccess=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Playing With Dialectics: Black Female Friendship Groups as a Homeplace.</a>” The abstract states:
“Female friendships are significant to many [b]lack females because they represent a homeplace or a safe space. This study uses Baxter and Montgomery’s relational dialectics theory and Collins’ [b]lack feminist thought to understand the interplay of contradictions in the stories that [b]lack females tell in their friendship groups.”
In the notes section of the abstract, it says, “The author purposely chose a [b]lack female assistant so the women in the friendship groups would continue to feel safe (during the research project) in their spaces as [b]lack women.”
In 2020, Dr. Niles Goins edited a book titled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Routledge-Handbook-Communication-Handbooks-Sexuality-ebook/dp/B08N5FPB2C/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1NK5XW55APGPA&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.1nzKQrhkQnZS8YwLB4GkHOA7KdeUJJDEiwiLpZhLgOIVvJKQgoOnqpElw7s0jIa9WQkT7glauYLkQfOl2M62BOuM2c0P5IXaRwAz0PDfuM74javbWNkaMJ59-6_mEZGMJltdh5WtwFnCFgy6NT9XnlNVJEDruarvE_xjrzb7PXN3q9YXYlIavo4Sh6tCwALN-kEKlByENd6Utm0-I0aqOg9cc-fNN5Lxj9WKhwSVmpM.S6pAaF5C45zTIGy0e0qcsbGxwOjWXnLbDze2Y7t-y_o&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=the+routledge+handbook+of+gender+and+communication&amp;qid=1710184922&amp;sprefix=the+routledge+handbook+of+gender+and+communication%2Caps%2C119&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Routledge Handbook of Gender and Communication</a>,” in which the publisher said the authors “provide insight into recent concerns regarding changing gender roles.” The introduction says:
“When conjoined, ‘gender and communication’ create a powerful alchemy that encompasses interpersonal relationality, systems of judgment, modes of becoming, performative contexts, means of identity, degrees of mobility in place and space, types of power over one’s body, and sources of self-determination. Hence, invoking new insights and strategies related to ‘gender and communication’ has the potential to break the cycle of culturation and enculturation into which we have all been inducted.”

Katherine Cruger

<a href="https://www.chatham.edu/academics/faculty/listing.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Katie Cruger</a> is an Associate Professor of Communication and Affiliated Faculty of the Women’s Institute at Chatham University.
In October 2017, Cruger <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17404622.2017.1372602" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an article</a> describing the “feminist pedagogy” teaching techniques she utilizes in her classes. She claims that several of her students “seem to be experiencing a kind of feminism fatigue” and that they are “wary to admit that they could ever suffer at the hands (or be the instrument) of imperialism white-supremacist capitalist patriarchy.”
To fight this “fatigue,” Cruger used a feminist pedagogy tool called “challenge based learning,” in which she asked students to “identify a challenge related to inequality and identity in their community” and brainstorm potential solutions throughout the semester. Cruger said she found that students developed more “sophisticated, intersectional understandings of course concepts such as inequality and activism” when they used this tool.
In an interview with <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/prof-boasts-fighting-feminist-fatigue-comms-classes/10024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, Cruger stated:
“Many of the students disagree with the basic tenets of feminism. There’s a fatigue as well. For some students, the feeling is that we don’t need feminism anymore because we’re ‘better’ now.”
Campus Reform writes:
“Moreover, she said, focusing on privilege and power can be helpful for students, regardless of what field they major in, noting that ‘even in courses on communications theory, we try to bring in examples of how differences in the way we communicate, parse out in forms of maintaining oppression and equity.’” 
Cruger also shared her concerns that the ways professors historically teach decision making and negotiation help perpetuate male privilege.
“If there is a system in which we are trying to teach students about negotiation and decision making, and we’ve got this very patriarchal model—you go in, pummel the other person into submission, then you’ve won—then we’re reifying things that are wrong with this world.”

To fight this “fatigue,” Cruger used a feminist pedagogy tool called “challenge based learning,” in which she asked students to “identify a challenge related to inequality and identity in their community” and brainstorm potential solutions throughout the semester. Cruger said she found that students developed more “sophisticated, intersectional understandings of course concepts such as inequality and activism” when they used this tool.

In an interview with <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/prof-boasts-fighting-feminist-fatigue-comms-classes/10024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, Cruger stated:
“Many of the students disagree with the basic tenets of feminism. There’s a fatigue as well. For some students, the feeling is that we don’t need feminism anymore because we’re ‘better’ now.”
Campus Reform writes:
“Moreover, she said, focusing on privilege and power can be helpful for students, regardless of what field they major in, noting that ‘even in courses on communications theory, we try to bring in examples of how differences in the way we communicate, parse out in forms of maintaining oppression and equity.’” 
Cruger also shared her concerns that the ways professors historically teach decision making and negotiation help perpetuate male privilege.
“If there is a system in which we are trying to teach students about negotiation and decision making, and we’ve got this very patriarchal model—you go in, pummel the other person into submission, then you’ve won—then we’re reifying things that are wrong with this world.”

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.”

<a href="https://philosophy.emory.edu/people/bios/yancy-george.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. George Yancy</a> is a Professor of Philosophy at Emory University.  A Red Alert Politics article states "Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a letter to white Americans calling them  racist. Make no mistake, if you are white, you are racist. As The Blaze pointed out, professor George Yancy called on white America to examine the 'racist poison that is inside of you.' And Yancy means all white America."

Dr. <a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carol Anderson</a> is the <a href="http://aas.emory.edu/home/people/bios/anderson-carol.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charles Howard Candler Professor and Chair of African American Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.emory.edu/home/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emory University</a> in Atlanta, Georgia. She has ascribed the passage of the Second Amendment to white supremacy, and accused conservatives of trying to make America a “whites only” nation.

Dr. Anderson is the author of, “<a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/the-second" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America</a>.” The book alleges the true purpose of the Second Amendment is the denial of rights to African Americans.

In a subsequent interview with CNN, Dr. Anderson claims the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/30/us/second-amendment-guns-anti-black-anderson-blake/index.html?utm_term=link&amp;utm_source=twCNN&amp;utm_content=2021-06-01T03%3A42%3A56&amp;utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">intention of the right to keep and bear arms was ultimately to empower militias to keep black Americans, “under the boot” of white supremacy</a>. At one point, she claims the second amendment is about “anti-blackness”, or antithetical to the well-being and rights of African-Americans:

<img class="size-large wp-image-1574 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-14T175033.334-e1631667053699-1024x356.png" alt="" width="580" height="202" />

She further states that America’s gun culture is fueled by a “fear” of black people and that “anti-blackness” courses through our nation'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 "white rage" 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.”

Dr. Anderson regularly lectures at colleges and universities across the country. In 2021, it was discovered that Dr. Anderson’s work had been <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/gop-army-vet-congressman-seeks-answers-critical-race-theory-west-point" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in a lecture by the Army Cyber Institute at West Point University</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://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”.

&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.”
