<a href="https://www.wheaton.edu/academics/faculty/nathan-cartagena/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nathan Luis Cartagena</a> is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Wheaton College. Dr. Cartagena has dedicated his career to teaching Christians critical race theory (CRT) and advocates for the Church to adopt it as standard, Christian doctrine. 
In the article, “<a href="https://www.worldoutspoken.com/articles-blog/is-your-bible-anti-black" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Is Your Bible Anti-Black?</a>,” he accuses the King James Version (KJV) of containing “anti-blackness.” Dr. Cartagena writes that as the Bible was translated into Western languages “white supremacy, anti-blackness,” and ”European Imperialism” were embedded into the KJVs. He recommends that diverse teams of ethnic, racial, and cultural scholars be formed to purge the “historic idolatry of whiteness” from the KJV and other biblical translations.         
In an article for <a href="https://faithfullymagazine.com/critical-race-theory-christians/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Faithfully Magazine</a>, Dr. Cartagena writes that CRT is necessary to understand that America is a “racialized society.” Lamenting that many preachers won’t adopt anti-racist practices, Cartagena describes this as the Church’s “betrayal” against the “racialized minority.” 
Dr. Cartagena insists that Christians share common interests with critical race theorists. As Christ called his followers to stand with the marginalized, he writes, Christians must now stand with oppressed minorities:  
“How should Christians respond to these common interests and conclusions? They should begin by recalling that Christ and the apostles call the Church to foster justice and mercy, giving special attention to the marginalized and oppressed (see Matthew 25; James 1). Because marginalization and oppression in pigmentocracies operate along racialized lines, Christians should share the common interests of critical race theorists.” 
Critical race theory is an integral component of Dr. Cartagena’s faith. In a separate article, titled, “<a href="https://sojo.net/articles/i-found-christs-liberating-spirit-critical-race-theory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I Found Christ’s Liberating Spirit on Critical Race Theory</a>,” he states that CRT was necessary to “decolonize” his mind. Dr. Cartagena writes that his love for God grew only after learning of the Church’s “racist colonial and imperial practices.” 
During a separate interview for the online magazine, “<a href="https://sojo.net/articles/why-nathan-cartagena-teaches-critical-race-theory-evangelicals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sojourners</a>,” Dr. Cartagena states that he felt “prompted by the spirit” to teach CRT. He further characterizes the Holy Spirit of the Trinity as an “agent of race-conscious liberation.”
“I’m thinking in distinctively trinitarian terms about how the Spirit is actually an agent of race-conscious liberation. The Spirit is going to help us see these racialized structures.”
Dr. Cartagena describes many of his students as “racialized white folks” and resistant to anti-racist practices. CRT is therefore needed, or so he argues, to remove their false ideas from “white evangelical spaces.” 
Dr. Cartagena also berates white Christians, accusing them of upholding white supremacy within the church. In one tweet, he alleges that Christians worship the God of white supremacy.

White supremacy is a god that demands human sacrifice and gorges itself on the least of these.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In another article authored by Dr. Cartagena—titled, “<a href="https://faithfullymagazine.com/white-man-leading-party-church/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The White Man Leading the White Man’s Party and the White Church</a>”—he derides white evangelicals as ignorant for supporting conservatives for public office. He refers to the “white church” as a pejorative, accusing it of being complicit in conservatives’ “strategic gendered racism.”

<a href="https://www.wheaton.edu/academics/faculty/esau-mccaulley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Esau McCaulley</a> is an Assistant Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College.

Dr. McCaulley recently wrote a book titled <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Reading-While-Black-American-Interpretation/dp/083085486X" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Reading While Black.”</a> The Atlantic describes the book as grappling with the question of how God “views racism and police violence, and how Christians can find hope in moments of profound grief about how Black people are treated in America.”

In October 2020, Dr. McCaulley <a href="https://www.holypost.com/post/425-reading-the-bible-while-black-with-esau-mccaulley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared on a podcast called the Holy Post</a> to discuss his new book. Chapter 2 of the book is titled “New Testament and the Theology of Policing.” Dr. McCaulley discussed how Christians focus on Romans 13’s command to submit to ruling authorities. However, he says that the apostle Paul, the assumed author of the book of Romans, builds this premise on the idea that if you have done nothing evil, then you have nothing to fear. He goes on to say that black Americans who have done nothing wrong have to live in fear and that it is “intellectually dishonest” to say otherwise.

Dr. McCaulley writes an op-ed column for the New York Times. In April 2021, he wrote an op-ed titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210421013748/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/20/opinion/derek-chauvin-verdict-floyd.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“How I’m Talking to My Kids About the Derek Chauvin Verdict.”</a> In the article, he discusses how “cruel America can be to Black bodies” and his relief that Derek Chauvin was found guilty.

In the same op-ed, he mentions how he has recently begun his Wheaton classes with discussions of anti-Asian racism, the events that took place at the Capitol on January 6th, and officer-involved shootings.

In a similar op-ed from May 2020—titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210822122943/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/10/opinion/ahmaud-arbery-justice.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Ahmaud Arbery and the America That Doesn’t Exist”</a>—he discusses how he fears going for runs in predominantly white neighborhoods. He talks about the distrust that Black people feel towards the justice system and appeals for the country to “take responsibility for its devaluation of blackness and its complicity in violence against black bodies.” He also shares his belief that black people in America are seen as menaces instead of “fully human beings.”

In July 2021, he wrote a column titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220417192346/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/18/opinion/racism-christianity.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Why Christians Must Fight Systemic Racism.”</a> In the article, he says that racism is still alive and well in the United States. Dr. McCaulley says that Christians should consider that they may have biases that they’re unaware of and that training in potential hidden biases could be an opportunity for growth.

In an article for the Washington Post titled <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2019/09/23/why-it-matters-if-your-bible-was-translated-by-racially-diverse-group/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Why it matters if your Bible was translated by a racially diverse group,”</a> Dr. McCaulley argues that women and people of color often have not been included in the translation process. He advocates for black churches to join with other Christians of color and sympathetic white churches to write their own translation of the Bible.

<a href="https://www.wheaton.edu/academics/faculty/joseph-cochran/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joseph (Joey) Cochran</a> is a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Wheaton College. According to his university profile, Cochran teaches numerous courses including “American History to 1865,” “American History Since 1865,” and “The Rise of Evangelicalism.”

In October 2023, Cochran penned an article titled “The Israel-Hamas Attack and the Evangelical Christian Response.” He believes, “Israel has the right to seek restitution and justice for the international crimes committed against its people, but Israel should not be permitted to commit pernicious war crimes themselves as they achieve their aims.”

Cochran also believes the <a href="https://www.patheos.com/blogs/anxiousbench/2023/10/the-israel-hamas-attack-and-the-evangelical-christian-response/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lands given to Palestine should be protected from Israel</a> and, if necessary, the Gerald F. Ford Carrier Strike Group should be used “as a deterrent to restrain Israel from overreach.”

Professor Cochran disagrees with many evangelical Christians who, through their public statements, have indicated a “united front against Hamas and unequivocal support of Israel.” He claims, “The current escalating rhetoric and tenor of evangelical Christians, who have invested themselves in this conflict, has tipped toward religiously prejudicial and genocidal attitudes.”

Cochran discusses the Just War theory, defined by Russell Moore as a theory “which holds that war is always awful, but—under certain, very limited circumstances—can be morally justified.” In response, Cochran writes:
“Just War theory has long been employed by evangelicals and the U.S. to justify and cultivate an industry complex of war. While Just War theory is a helpful premise to protect one’s people, it also can be used as an exploitative means to opportunistically justify offensives that gain territorial and material advantages.” 
Three days after posting the article, he <a href="https://twitter.com/Ptr_StephenFein/status/1713665678224523655" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> on an <a href="https://twitter.com/jtcochran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">account that has now been made private</a>:

<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3238" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Screen-Shot-2023-10-31-at-3.05.23-PM-1024x679.png" alt="" width="640" height="424" />

This is not the first time Cochran has shared his thoughts on “white privilege.” In April 2023, he wrote an article titled, “<a href="https://www.patheos.com/blogs/anxiousbench/2023/04/second-amendment-rights-is-about-protecting-white-supremacy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Second Amendment Rights Is About Protecting White Supremacy</a>.” He believes that firearm possession throughout history has been a “racialized phenomenon.” He writes:
“Though microbial pathogens played their role in wiping out Amerindians across the Eastern Woodlands to the Great Lakes basin, the gun trade played its role in Indian on Indian genocidal acts of gun violence, no different than how Whites have apathetically viewed black on black gun violence in predominantly black communities during the latter twentieth and early twenty-first century.” 
He argues that the real reason people are against giving up their Second Amendment rights is due to the “disempowering effect it has for white men.”
“While many people think and argue that preserving this right is about protecting the right to sports, like marksmanship or hunting, or preserving the right to defend one’s home, in reality, the unspoken reason is that this right is symbolic of the sacred idol of white supremacy in our history.” 
“Altering this law is an admission that white men no longer have the power to protect their lives from ‘others’ who threaten them, and they no longer have the right to manipulate gun policy to protect their power, or, when all else fails, to take the lives of those they historically despised as heathens or oppressed as slaves.”

<a href="https://www.macalester.edu/english/facultystaff/marlonjames/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marlon James</a> is a Professor of English with Emeritus Status at Macalester College.
In 2016, James wrote an article for <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/sep/11/us-afflicted-with-third-world-police-says-author-marlon-james" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Guardian</a>, in which he claimed the United States was “afflicted with ‘third world police,’ which has led to ‘almost state-sanctioned’ killings of people from minority groups.” James stated:
“What people like me find alarming is there is almost state-sanctioned violence in America, particularly with the police. America has developed a weird kind of third world police, which horrifies people like me and my friends from Kenya or Nigeria.” 
“The whole idea that you are beyond the law you are serving and protecting, and that killing people will not have consequences, is something that we who migrated to America thought we had got away from. This sort of unquestioned authority, straight up killing people is why Black Lives Matter happened.” 
James wrote another article titled “<a href="https://lithub.com/marlon-james-why-im-done-talking-about-diversity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marlon James: Why I’m Done Talking About Diversity</a>,” in which he said that people “too often mistake discussing diversity with doing anything constructive about it.” James notes that critics of his stance may say people need to discuss diversity more in order to overcome “racism, sexism and all the other isms that divide us.” In response, James writes:
“Well for one, saying these isms are dividing us is implying that we are equally to blame for the division. What is happening is one group using social, economic and political policies to separate themselves from others, not always deliberately.” 
“It’s not for the black person to be more open-minded. It’s for the white person to be less racist. It’s not for the trans person to prove why she needs to use the female bathroom. It’s for the bigot to stop attacking trans people.” 
James wrote yet another racially-charged article in 2021 titled “<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/may/25/to-survive-in-america-as-a-black-man-marlon-james" target="_blank" rel="noopener">To survive in America as a Black man, make yourself small</a>,” in which he said he doesn’t “trust law enforcement” because “to call for help can mean that you are the one who gets killed.” He writes:
“Cops, the lethal arm of this society, along with neighborhood watchdogs, and white neighbors with phones get the privilege to always act on any fear, no matter how ridiculous, and society always gives them the benefit of the doubt.”

In an interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A-gadEfYag&amp;t=79s">WIPF and Stock Publishers</a> about her book, Dr. Walker-Barnes states that stereotypes are imposed on Black women because Christian doctrine has been constructed by “white, European, and US men.”

Later in the same video, Dr. Walker-Barnes absolves Black women of alleviating racism in America. She states that “White identity” oppresses women of color and it is therefore incumbent upon only White Christians to interrogate their own “whiteness”.

Dr. Walker-Barnes further details her beliefs about “whiteness” in a lecture titled, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc5VzRLgK_4">Pathological Whiteness</a>, stating its purpose is the maintenance of white supremacy. She contends the 2016 election of President Donald J.

<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Asks God to “help me hate White people”;</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Asks God to help her to “stop caring about [White people], individually and collectively”;</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Claims she wants to “stop believing that [White people] can be better, that then can stop being racist”; and</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Prays that God will “harden my heart” so that she can “imagine [White people] … as white-hooded robes standing in front of burning crosses”.</li>
</ul>

<a href="https://theology.mercer.edu/faculty-and-staff/gushee/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reverend Dr. David Gushee</a> is a Distinguished University Professor of Christian Ethics at Mercer University. According to his university profile, Gushee is “one of the world’s leading Christian ethicists” and was elected “Past-President” of the American Academy of Religion and the Society of Christian Ethics.

Gushee claims conservative white Christians are a <a href="https://www.salon.com/2024/01/09/religious-scholar-on-the-civil-war-within-christianity--and-the-urgency-of-stopping/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">threat to our country’s democracy</a>. In discussing his latest book, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Defending-Democracy-Its-Christian-Enemies/dp/0802882935" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Defending Democracy from its Christian Enemies</a>”, Gushee says his “thesis is that many Christians in the United States and elsewhere today are demonstrating an attraction to a dangerous <a href="https://baptistnews.com/article/my-argument-in-defending-democracy-from-its-christian-enemies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authoritarian and reactionary politics</a> that poses a grave threat to free and open democracy.”

He believes this population has been “powerfully seduced by authoritarian ideology” and “could be ushering in a democracy-free future with open arms.” When asked in a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240116014001/https://www.businessinsider.com/david-gushee-christian-nationalists-support-trump-reelection-authoritarianism-2024-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Business Insider</a> interview what particular incident caused him concern, Gushee answered, “The immediate crisis is the phenomenon of Donald Trump and the strong conservative support for Trump, which continues to this day.”

He argues many Christians have not accepted the cultural changes that have taken place since the 1960s, including legal abortions, the feminist movement, and “large-scale immigration from non-European countries” which has caused “significant racial backlash to a multiracial society with equal rights for people of color.”

He says this has created a population of “reactionary” Christians who are “willing to sacrifice democracy to get what they want politically.” He believes that this demographic would be willing to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/christian-ethics-professor-says-trump-evangelical-voters-enemies-of-democracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abolish the two-term limit</a> for U.S. presidents, support the imprisonment of political opponents, and “officially enshrine Christian values into the Constitution.”

Gushee also told Business Insider:
“One way to interpret what’s gone wrong is that America’s democracy was always damaged by white supremacy because of allowing and enshrining slavery and then allowing and enshrining Jim Crow, lynching, then segregation.” 
He explains:
“And so one way to focus on the racial dimension of the reactionary move is a certain percentage of white Americans who say ‘no, we prefer 18th-century versions of democracy where white people are in charge. We don’t like this thing where Barack Obama, a man of his background and race, could become president. This society belongs to white people.’” 
He concludes:
“And so it’s either we either move forward into genuine multiracial, equal democratic citizenship or we are pushed backward into something like white ethnocratic quasi-democracy, and I think there are people who really want that.”

Dr. Allyn Walker is an openly transgender —preferred pronouns they/them—a postdoctoral fellow at the <a href="https://publichealth.jhu.edu/">Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health</a>. In June of 2021, Dr. Walker <a href="https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520306363/a-long-dark-shadow">wrote a book titled</a>, A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity.

<img class="size-full wp-image-1773 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-15-at-11.31.39-AM.png" alt="" width="466" height="222" />

The book, which Dr. Walker describes as interview-based research, discusses non-offending pedophiles (or Minor-Attracted Persons, as Dr. Walker calls them). According to Dr. Walker, the book highlights people who are attracted to minors who don’t don’t commit violent crimes in order to challenge the “widespread assumption that those who are ‘preferentially attracted to minors’ are always predators and sex offenders.” The book details how those who don’t commit violent crimes against children navigate their feelings and attraction to minors.

<img class="size-full wp-image-1774 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-15-at-11.33.14-AM.png" alt="" width="479" height="253" />

On November 11, 2021<a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1458985538334068740?s=21" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> a series of videos on Twitter of Dr. Walker came to light</a>. In these videos, Dr. Walker tries to normalize the term “Minor-Attracted Person” (MAP) and destigmatize pedophilia. In the video, Dr. Walker claims that it is important to call a group by a name in which they want to be called. Dr. Walker states that groups are advocating for MAP as their name because it’s less stigmatized than the term pedophile, and they are doing nothing wrong if they aren’t committing violent crimes against children. Dr. Walker goes on to say that who a person is attracted to (in this case children) isn’t indicative of the morality of that person or that attraction. The video series can be viewed below:

After the video received a significant amount of backlash, <a href="https://www.wtkr.com/news/odu-releases-statement-after-assistant-professor-gives-controversial-interview-defending-people-attracted-to-children">Old Dominion University—Dr. Walker’s employer at the time—released a statement</a>, asserting that, as an academic community, it’s vital to be “willing to consider scientific and other empirical data that may involve controversial issues and perspectives.” They went on to claim that they don’t endorse or promote any crimes against children or any form of criminal activity.

Old Dominion University would later announce that Dr. Allyn Walker would <a href="https://www.odu.edu/news/2021/11/a_statement_from_old_dominion_university#.Yn343qjMI2w">resign at the expiration of his contract</a> in May 2022.

<a href="https://www.jgillpeterson.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jules Gill-Peterson</a> is an Associate Professor of History at <a href="https://www.jhu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Johns Hopkins University</a>. He has referred to the gender binary as “junk science” and advocated for allowing children to transition at any age.

In his substack—<a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/archive?sort=new" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sad Brown Girl</a>—Peterson attacks conservatives as transphobic, denies there can be only two genders, and documents his life as a transwoman and activist. In one article, titled “The Cis State,” he claims the <a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/the-cis-state" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gender binary never existed historically in the medical community</a>. Rather, politicians and psychologists invented the concept 70 years ago in a nefarious attempt to control people.

“...[S]ex did not become cis until the invention of the concept of gender in the mid-twentieth century. Gender was invented by psychologists to bring order to the collapse of the sex binary in science and medicine.”  

During an interview with Scientific American, <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/video/how-junk-science-is-being-used-against-trans-kids2/#Echobox=1649463388" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peterson claims the idea of a gender binary is still weaponized by present-day scientists against trans people.</a> After being introduced by the host as a “science historian,” he again states that scientists had no idea what determined sex or gender until the mid-20th century.

Further on, Peterson asserts there is no consensus on what determines whether someone is male or female. He then compares any scientific attempts to do so with the “junk science” of the eugenics movement and inflicting harm on trans people.

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

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

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

In a separate thread, he calls for the “abolition” of the family to relieve the “bulwark” of protection that parents provide children.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
an underrated problem in the left’s neoliberal retreat from family abolition (shoutout again to <a href="https://twitter.com/reproutopia?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@reproutopia</a>) is that trans kids are left with a pitifully anemic option for care. the...family? we except the family to ideally care for trans kids? based on what evidence?!

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I am certainly heartened that many families do love and champion their trans kids. but I also want a political movement that relieves loving trans kids from a privatized, sentimental and normative politics of the family as bulwark against the various ends of the world underway.
— Jules Gill-Peterson (@gp_jls) <a href="https://twitter.com/gp_jls/status/1430222847675359242?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">August 24, 2021</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Peterson claims that <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/163113/behind-gop-strategy-outlaw-trans-youth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">it’s false to “presume” that trans kids will be cared for by their families</a>. His comments appeared in an interview with The New Republic, where he depicted parents as an impediment to trans children. He attacks white women as segregationists who weaponize their status as mothers to fuel anti-trans legislation. “The figure of the mom is hanging over everything,” she states.

In a separate substack article, <a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/we-the-abuser-state" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he further claims that “parental rights” are inhibiting minors from making fully autonomous decisions about their gender</a>.

“The slogan of ‘parental rights” is at the root of the fantasy that children are quasi-property, not people.”

Conservatives who object to transitioning children are <a href="https://thenewinquiry.com/from-gender-critical-to-qanon-anti-trans-politics-and-the-laundering-of-conspiracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">branded as QAnon-style conspiracy theorists</a> who are aiming to construct an “<a href="https://jewishcurrents.org/the-anti-trans-lobbys-real-agenda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authoritarian Christian ethnostate.</a>”

Much of this ire is directed toward author Abigail Shrier author of, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Irreversible-Damage-Transgender-Seducing-Daughters/dp/1684510317" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Irreversible Damage.”</a> The book examines the exponential increase in rates of gender dysphoria among teenagers—of which Shrier attributes to <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/06/27/how-peer-contagion-plays-into-the-rise-of-teens-transitioning/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“peer contagion”</a>—and the negative, <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">long-term health effects on teens who undergo gender transitions</a>.

Reacting to a Senate testimony delivered by Shrier on trans children, Peterson <a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/abigail-shrier-goes-to-washington" target="_blank" rel="noopener">labels her as a “TERF”</a> (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist) who is unqualified to speak on trans issues, in part because Shrier is not transgender herself. She accuses Shrier of flirting with white supremacy and peddling “pedophilic fantasies.”

“I invite you to join me in standing against the extreme sexual harassment, pedophilic fantasies, and torturous sadism of TERF and anti-trans rhetoric peddled by people like Shrier, backed up by an army of internet trolls and well-funded cultural tastemakers getting rich off pretending they are humiliated and canceled.“

Peterson is also the author of “History of the Transgender Child,” which maintains that <a href="https://history.jhu.edu/faculty-books/histories-of-the-transgender-child/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transgender children have been prevalent and well-documented over the last century</a>. He further serves as the General Editor of <a href="https://www.dukeupress.edu/tsq-transgender-studies-quarterly">Transgender Studies Quarterly</a>, of which the next issue will feature “Trans Marxist” authors and perspectives.

<a href="https://krieger.jhu.edu/africana/directory/shani-mott/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shani Mott</a> is a Lecturer of Africana Studies at Johns Hopkins University (JHU). Her research interests “address how mid-twentieth century writers of both fiction and non-fiction strategically deployed racial language in American popular culture.”

Mott’s university profile also mentions a manuscript titled, “Saving the Soul of the Great Republic: Imagining Race and Writing Democracy.” According to the description, the book “argues that authors writing during the inter- and postwar years of the twentieth century relied on ‘literary racial transvestism,’ a practice wherein black authors wrote novels with predominantly white characters and [vice versa].”

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

The open letter—drafted two weeks after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack against Israel—starts by acknowledging the loss of life on both sides of the conflict. However, the statement of solidarity with Gaza goes on to state:
“...Palestinians in Gaza are being subjected to a draconian collective punishment. We condemn the horrific ongoing violence inflicted on the Palestinian people, and we urgently call for an end to the Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip. The risk of genocide is real.”

<a href="https://philosophy.illinoisstate.edu/faculty-staff/profile/?ulid=baileya" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alison Bailey</a> is a Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Women’s and Gender Studies Program at Illinois State University. According to Bailey’s university profile, her “scholarship engages issues at the intersections of feminist theories, philosophy of race, critical whiteness studies, and social epistemology (especially epistemic injustice and ignorance).”
Bailey teaches “<a href="https://coursefinder.illinoisstate.edu/wgs/490/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WGS 490</a> &#8211; Feminist Theories &amp; Methodological Issues.” The course description reads:
“An interdisciplinary approach to the methods, theories, and conceptual tools feminist scholars use to address social justice issues across a broad range of topics and academic disciplines. The course explores the historical and contemporary developments in feminist theory with particular attention to how gender intersects with race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, coloniality, and other social identities.” 
In 2021, Bailey released a book titled “<a href="https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781793604491/The-Weight-of-Whiteness-A-Feminist-Engagement-with-Privilege-Race-and-Ignorance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Weight of Whiteness: A Feminist Engagement with Privilege, Race, and Ignorance</a>.” According to an article by <a href="https://news.illinoisstate.edu/2021/02/the-weight-of-whiteness-new-book-by-dr-alison-bailey/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Illinois State University News</a> in February 2021, Bailey’s book “explores the ways white supremacy and privilege operate like an anesthesia, desensitizing white people to the inherited damage of whiteness on collective humanity.”
The article continues:
“In the book, Bailey measures the weight of whiteness in terms of its costs and losses to our collective humanity. These costs include a false sense of entitlement, hypervigilance, resource and opportunity hoarding, a distorted racialized perception of the world, implicit bias, a damaged moral compass, difficulty sustaining relationships with people of color, and a willful ignorance about American history and our family genealogies.” 
Bailey stated:
“White people need to walk into the places that scare them and explore the clean pain required for collective liberation. The stakes are high. Our failure to hold the weight of whiteness ensures that white people will continue to choose anesthesia over knowledge. When we do, we will continue to blow the weight of historical trauma through communities of color.” 
In a 2017 article written for Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy, Bailey describes why Critical Theory <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/319605183_Tracking_Privilege-Preserving_Epistemic_Pushback_in_Feminist_and_Critical_Race_Philosophy_Classes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rejects critical thinking</a>:
“&#8230;the tools of the critical-thinking tradition (for example, validity, soundness, conceptual clarity) cannot dismantle the master’s house: they can temporarily beat the master at his own game, but they can never bring about any enduring structural change (Lorde 1984, 112). They fail because the critical thinker’s toolkit is commonly invoked in particular settings, at particular times to reassert power: those adept with the tools often use them to restore an order that assures their comfort.”

<a href="https://education.illinoisstate.edu/faculty_staff/profile.php?ulid=thusban" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Terry Husband</a> is a Professor of Early Childhood Education at <a href="https://illinoisstate.edu/?utm_source=education.illinoisstate.edu&amp;utm_medium=iguide&amp;utm_campaign=iguide+usage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Illinois State University</a> in Normal, Illinois. Identifying as an antiracist activist with <a href="https://www.drhusband.com/about-dr-h.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an interest in “teaching for social justice,”</a> he urges teachers to insert race and discussions about race into their curriculum for children as early as kindergarten.

Dr. Husband is the author of multiple publications and documents on “antiracist pedagogy” in the classroom. The term refers to the process of identifying and dismantling racism in teaching practices and discussing race with students.

In his paper, “<a href="https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1171716.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Please Stop Whipping Me</a>,” Dr. Husband studies how first-grade students respond to an antiracist assignment on the history of institutional racism. After finding that a student's views on race can be “altered, subverted, or strengthened,” the paper urges educators to provide models for confronting racism in their curriculum.

In another paper titled, “<a href="https://he.kendallhunt.com/product/how-am-i-supposed-talk-about-enacting-anti-racist-pedagogy-early-childhood-classrooms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How am I Supposed to Talk About That? Enacting Critical Antiracist Pedagogy in Early Childhood Classrooms</a>,” Dr. Husband declares racism to be “a continuous thread in the fabric of American lore ”that infects the integrity of the education system from school principals to bus drivers. He writes that educators must refrain from adopting a colorblind, or “raceless” approach to teaching. Rather, teachers must “explicitly” discuss race with elementary students.

The paper, “<a href="https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1075&amp;context=jger" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The inequitable consequences of school disciplinary policies on Black girls in Ohio</a>,”  further deploys an antiracist pedagogy to advocate for the reformation of school disciplinary policies based on race. Framing his work within “black feminist theory,” Dr. Husband focuses on the disproportionate rates of school suspensions of black girls as compared to other students.

Before even conducting his study, Dr. Husband already attributes this disparity to the actions of “white, middle-class, and female” teachers who view black females as “angry, hostile, and/or hypersexual.” Teachers will therefore act on these implicit biases by punishing black, female students.

Dr. Husband concludes that schools should conduct “equity audits” and restructure classrooms to adopt “culturally responsive approaches” based on race. This will affirm the “experiences, norms, linguistic styles, and background knowledge” of black women and supposedly prevent further suspensions.

Husband is sought out by universities and other educational organizations to conduct lectures and antiracist trainings for educators and students. Throughout his lecture at the University of Nebraska, Dr. Husband defines racism as institutional power with prejudice. Therefore, black people—who do not hold any institutional power—can not be racist. Only white people are racist.

Dr. Husband began his lecture by alluding that Kyle Rittenhouse—who is pictured on the bottom of the is a racist while juxtaposing his photo with white nationalists from the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally in 2017.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Husband-Kyle-Rittenhouse.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Further on, Dr. Husband accuses white teachers of harboring implicit biases against their black students by inflicting “curriculum violence” on them.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Husband-White-Teachers.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

To combat educational racism, Dr. Husband urges teachers to insert conversations about race in their curriculum and transition to an “equity” model of grading and “decolonize” authors and texts.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Husband-Decolonize-.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

At one point, Dr. Husband states that a black student would be better off with a black teacher rather than a white teacher.

The lecture itself was conducted and hosted by the Buffett Center for Early Childhood Development, which is bankrolled by billionaire philanthropist, Warren Buffett.

<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230324031536/https://education.illinoisstate.edu/faculty_staff/profile.php?ulid=abates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alan Bates</a> is a Professor of Early Childhood Education and the Director of the School of Teaching and Learning at Illinois State University.

In August 2023, Bates was indicted on four counts of predatory sexual assault. According to court documents, the <a href="https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/local-news/bloomington-police-arrest-man-for-sexual-assault/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alleged incidents</a> all occurred with one victim, who was under the age of 13.

The first incident occurred in approximately October 2007, and the other incidents occurred in approximately October 2008, October 2012, and October 2013.

Illinois State University Director of Media Relations Eric Jome <a href="https://www.wglt.org/local-news/2023-08-24/isu-teaching-and-learning-director-alan-bates-accused-of-sexually-assaulting-a-child" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released the following statement</a>:
“Illinois State University is aware of the arrest and charges against Alan Bates. The university has received no information as of this time suggesting the charges are connected to his employment at Illinois State. As a matter of course, the university does not comment on personnel matters of individual employees.” 
On August 25, 2023, Bates <a href="https://www.25newsnow.com/2023/08/25/isu-administrator-pays-100000-cash-be-released-sexual-assault-charges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted a $100,000 cash bond</a> and was released from the McLean County Jail. Per bond conditions, he is not allowed to have contact with anyone younger than 18 years old or the alleged victim.

As of publication, Bates is still employed at the university. However, his <a href="https://education.illinoisstate.edu/faculty_staff/profile.php?ulid=abates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profile</a> only lists him as a professor rather than as the Director of the School of Teaching and Learning. In a September 8, 2023 <a href="https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/local-news/isu-professor-has-arraignment-for-sexual-assault-charges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WMBD</a> article, a university spokesperson confirmed Bates is currently an employee at the university.

His pretrial hearing is scheduled for October 16, 2023. This profile will be updated accordingly.

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

Updated - May 2021

<a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/people/core-faculty/reiland-rabaka" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Reiland Rabaka</a> is a Professor of Africana Studies as well as Critical Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality Studies in the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Ethnic Studies</a> at the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Colorado at Boulder</a>. He also serves as <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/humanities/reiland-rabaka" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of Humanities</a> in the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/artsandsciences/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">College of Arts and Sciences</a>.

Dr. Rabaka identifies publicly as a “democratic socialist” and a scholar of fields such as “black radical politics,” decolonial theory, and critical race theory. His lectures depict the United States as an inherently white-supremacist nation and herald the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as a necessary counter to systematic racism.

In a video sponsored by the university, Dr. Rabaka describes American society as having <a href="https://www.coursera.org/lecture/antiracism-2/dr-reiland-rabaka-interventions-in-racist-terminologies-qp12a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">culminated in the “social, economic, spiritual, and cultural” death of black people</a>. He attributes this to our nation's alleged addiction to “black death.”

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-America-is-addicted-to-Black-Death.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

He repeated this accusation during a lecture for Florida Gulf Coast University’s <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/ccres/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Critical Race and Ethnic Studies</a>. During the event—hosted by professor and the Center Director, <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/directory/tthornhill">Dr. Ted Thornill</a>—Dr. Rabaka <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsS6RAfiesI&amp;ab_channel=FGCUUniversityMarketingCommunications" target="_blank" rel="noopener">characterizes the nation as a “colonial project” that was built on racial and economic enslavement</a>.

Dr. Rabaka addresses BLM at length during the Q&amp;A section, characterizing the movement as a response to the nation’s “deeply entrenched racism.” At one point, a member of the audience asks Dr. Rabaka how he would respond if BLM was characterized as a terrorist organization; Rather than answer the question, he proceeds to deflect and counter that Christopher Columbus should be considered a terrorist for committing a “holocaust” against Native Americans. He denounces both the Founding Fathers and Pilgrims in his tirade, accusing each of participating in “racial terrorism.”

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-the-Pilgrims-are-terrorists.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Continuing, he urges “white administrators” to invest in BLM-themed curriculums and workshops in order to raise consciousness about the movement. Dr. Rabaka <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/asmagazine/2021/03/02/black-lives-matter-course-aims-foster-campus-transformation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personally teaches a BLM-themed course at UC-Boulder</a>.

BLM was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the acquittal of George Zimmerman for his murder. Although purporting to be a civil-rights organization, the movement has been tied to violent confrontations and riots across the country.

According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Federalist</a> found, “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

Throughout his lecture, Dr. Rabaka praises Angela Davis and Assata Shakur, whose work he considers instrumental to the BLM movement. Shakur is a former <a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/black-lives-matter-praising-terrorist-assata-shakur/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">member of the Black Liberation Army and convicted cop killer</a>. She currently resides in Cuba as a guest of the communist government; authorities have offered 2 million dollars for her capture.

Angela Davis is a former vice-presidential candidate for the Communist Party and early member of the Black Panther Party. Davis is notoriously known for <a href="https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/hollywoods-undying-love-communist-angela-davis-arnold-ahlert/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">her role in the Marin County Civic Center Attack, which left 4 dead</a>.

To learn more about Angela Davis, users can view her <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angeladavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profile on TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist</a>.

Another individual Dr. Rabaka praises in his lecture is scholar W.E.B Du Bois. A prominent author at the turn of the 20th century, Du Bois was a life-long adherent to communism, going <a href="https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/biographies/1953/03/16.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">so far as to eulogize Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin after his death in 1953</a>.

In a separate lecture at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Reiland+Rabaka+" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Rabaka lauds Du Bois specifically for his contributions to socialism</a>. At one point, the professor displays pictures of Du Bois meeting with Nikita Khrushchev and Mao Zedong, hailing both as proof of Du Bois international standing.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabka-Du-Bois-and-Mao-.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Mao-Zedong">Mao</a>—who chaired the Chinese Communist Party from 1935 until his death in 1976—is widely considered one of the deadliest heads of state in history–<a href="https://www.heritage.org/asia/commentary/the-legacy-mao-zedong-mass-murder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an estimated 65 million Chinese perished from his regime</a>. Mao's deadliest campaign—referred to as the “Great Leap Forward”—<a href="https://www.hudson.org/research/7342-mao-s-great-leap-forward-and-the-power-of-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">caused an estimated 40 million to die from starvation and overwork in labor camps</a>.

All three lectures are listed at the bottom of the profile in full.

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

As <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8518">reported</a> by Campus Reform, Chavez <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8518">taught </a>a course called, “America, the Frontier, and the New West.”  The course description <a href="https://classes.usc.edu/term-20163/classes/amst/">states</a> that the class is an “Introduction to an interdisciplinary study of American political, cultural and social life with a particular emphasis on the Western United States as a region.” According to USC’s course <a href="https://classes.usc.edu/term-20163/classes/amst/">description</a>, the course also qualifies the satisfaction of the core curriculum requirement for undergraduate students.

According to Campus Reform, Chavez sent an email to her class, via her teaching assistant Julia Chea, <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8518">ordering</a> students to refrain from using the term “illegal immigrant” on the course's final exam. The email reads as follows,

According to the Washington Examiner, Chea then <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/red-alert-politics/professor-bans-phrase-illegal-immigrant-threatens-students-exposed">discovered</a> that students who received her email were sharing it on their respective social media accounts. She then sent out an additional email to the students in her class that read as follows,

“Dear students, NONE of you have my permission to screenshot emails sent to the class so that you may post them on Facebook. Not only is it in bad taste, but you would do well to avoid violating classroom and university policies regarding confidentiality. Your friend has ratted you out.”

In a <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8518">statement </a>given to Campus Reform, an unnamed student who shared the initial email called the decree “just one of the many instances of anticonservative bias” at USC and represents an “attack on intellectual freedom and free speech.”

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

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

Charles H.F. Davis is an Assistant Professor at the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education at the University of Michigan. He previously taught at the University of Southern California. According to his university biography, Davis’s research and teaching focuses on, “race and racism, systems of oppression, and structures of domination in U.S. higher education and its social contexts.”

Davis previously rose to notoriety in 2017 for a series of <a href="https://twitter.com/hfdavis?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">racially inflammatory tweets</a>. As reported by <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/usc-professor-defends-tweet-promoting-violence-whiteness/">The College Fix</a>, he tweeted that “whiteness” must be destroyed and alluded to the necessity of violence in confronting it.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1308 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-04-21T135205.941-e1619038447297-1024x278.png" alt="" width="580" height="157" />

The background photo of his Twitter account at the time featured a black woman pointing a gun at a pig that clearly represents a caricature of a police officer. 

When contacted <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/usc-professor-defends-tweet-promoting-violence-whiteness/">The College Fix</a> over his remarks, Davis responded, “To be clear, I am decidedly against whiteness as a social and political ideology, which systematically marginalize and disenfranchise people of color from opportunities for societal advancement. In addition, I am against the institution of policing, which has historically and continuously enacted racial terror, sexual violence, and economic exploitation against racial minorities, women and LGBTQ communities, and economically disadvantaged working-class people.”

When asked if any of these tweets might make students uncomfortable, Davis <a href="http://hfdavis.com/blog/an-interview-with-a-conservative">responded</a> that any discomfort experienced by his white students is a result of their “white fragility.” 

Davis had previously advocated for the right of students to disrupt conservative speakers on campus. In the wake of <a href="https://badgerherald.com/news/2016/11/17/conservative-pundit-ben-shapiro-lectures-to-turbulent-crowd-on-safe-spaces-freedom-of-speech/">protesters heckling</a> Ben Shapiro’s lecture at the University of Wisconsin Madison, school regents approved a <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-university-of-wisconsin-protest-punishment-20171006-story.html">policy</a> to suspend or expel students that purposefully disrupt events. Davis’s subsequent <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-university-of-wisconsin-protest-punishment-20171006-story.html">op-ed</a> at Inside Higher Ed argued that this only reinforced white supremacy: “To be clear, it is a decision that reinforces institutionalized white supremacy -- and other oppressive forms of systemic power.” Davis argues that conservative speakers like Shapiro have hijacked the First Amendment to push “white supremacist agendas.”

Crocker Professor of Law at the <a href="https://www.usc.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Southern California</a>. According to his university biography, Dr. Armour studies the intersection of racial justice, criminal justice, and the rule of law.

As a critical race scholar, Dr. Armour’s work focuses on police brutality, mass incarceration, and systemic and cultural racism. He freely admits that critical race theory is included in his curriculum.

Many prominent critical theorists, including professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones">Dr. Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even claim that the <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones">nation’s true founding year is 1619</a>—rather than 1776—when the first slave stepped foot in North America.

Dr. Armour is notable for his advocacy on behalf of District Attorneys (DAs) supported by George Soros while he served as a fellow of George Soros' Open Society Foundation.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/9-things-you-need-know-about-george-soros-aaron-bandler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Hungarian-born billionaire</a>, George Soros and The Open Society Foundation donate billions of dollars to progressive causes across the country, totaling <a href="https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/who-we-are/financials" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over $18 billion dollars over the past 35 years</a>. The Foundation’s operating budget for 2020 alone was 1.4 billion dollars.

The <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/12/16/how-george-soros-funded-progressive-das-behind-us-crime-surge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beneficiaries of Soros’s philanthropy are progressive District Attorneys who run on issues such as ending cash bail and “mass incarceration</a>.” Author, Matt Palumbo, has <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2021/11/08/matt_palumbo_how_george_soros_overhauled_the_us_justice_system.html#!" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documented tens of millions of dollars flowing from Soros and the Open Society Foundation</a> to campaigns of far-left DAs across the country.

Once elected, they immediately begin to decriminalize or refuse to prosecute certain “non-violent” crimes such as robbery, drug possession, and vandalism. This sometimes includes more serious offenses. The Soros-backed DA for Chicago, <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/10/decriminalizing_gang_bangers_soros_prosecutor_kim_foxx_declines_to_charge_five_arrested_in_fatal_gang_shootout_citing_mutual_combatants.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kim Foxx, cited “mutual combat” in her decision to decline prosecution of a fatal gang shooting</a>.

<a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/02/the-deadly-consequences-of-defund-the-police/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coupled with the nationwide defunding of police departments</a>, cities with Soros-funded DAs are witnessing record levels of crime. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/twelve-major-cities-with-new-homicide-records-in-2021-all-led-by-democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twelve major US cities broke homicide records in 2021.</a>

Officially titled the Soros Justice Senior Fellow of The Open Society Institute’s Center on Crime, Communities and Culture, Dr. Armour works not only to promote radical, criminal justice reform but uses his position within USC’s Law School to recruit Soros-backed, far-left DAs across the country.

Dr. Armour frequently hosts these DAs as part of his lecture series at the USC College of Law. One is Los Angeles County DA, George Gascon, who is known for his <a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/report/george-gascon-rogue-prosecutor-whose-extreme-policies-undermine-the-rule" target="_blank" rel="noopener">radical stances and failure to prosecute </a>serious offenses.

Gascon’s office has been criticized for <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2021/12/07/convict-arrested-for-murder-of-jacqueline-avant-as-l-a-faces-violent-crime-surge-in-wake-of-reforms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">releasing criminals who would later go on to commit violent crimes</a>. In 2021, a <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/01/17/la-da-ripped-after-child-molester-faces-little-or-no-time/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transgender woman who raped a 10 year-old girl in a bathroom</a> received a substantially reduced sentence based on recommendations from Gascon’s office.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aziluYm1Kbk&amp;ab_channel=USCGouldSchoolofLaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During their conversation</a>, Dr. Armour audibly agreed with Gascon as he claimed that the police originate from slave patrols in the antebellum south.

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

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

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

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

“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:

“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.

<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.”

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

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

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

According to Sampson’s faculty profile, “Her research focuses on educational leadership, policy, and equity from three interrelated perspectives—democracy, community advocacy, and politics.” Sampson’s areas of expertise include “Critical Race Theory,” “Feminist Theory,” “Race and Racism in Education,” and “Social Justice in Education.”

Sampson has published several gender- and race-based articles. In 2016, Sampson <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13613324.2020.1842346?scroll=top&amp;needAccess=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">co-authored</a> “Engaging (or not) in coalition politics: a case study of Black and Latinx community advocacy toward educational equity.” In the abstract notes, Sampson et al. state: 
“We use ‘Latinx’ as a gender-neutral reference to the people of Latin-American heritage. To not negate gendered experiences, we use Latino/Latina, or Chicano/a when acknowledging individuals or past research identifying with these gendered identities … Although both ‘Black’ and ‘Latinx’ are politicized categories, we recognize the reality of the identities are diverse, intersecting, and fluid.”
In an article titled “Over 1,200 ‘Educators for Palestine’ Sign Open Letter Demanding Ceasefire,” <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/over-a-thousand-educators-for-palestine-sign-open-letter-demanding-ceasefire/#:~:text=Hundreds%20of%20academics%20from%20universities,has%20killed%20more%20than%2011%2C000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Truthout</a> gave a biased account of a statement signed by several university professors, including Sampson. The statement was crafted after the October 7 Hamas attacks against Israel. 

Truthout said, “Hundreds of academics from universities and institutions of higher learning from … across North America have signed on to a joint letter, calling on their governments to demand Israeli ceasefire in Gaza … The signers, calling themselves ‘Educators for Palestine,’ are Palestinian academics and their allies who denounce Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/843137" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Owen Anderson</a> is a Professor in the School of Humanities at Arizona State University. He teaches courses focused on philosophy, morality, and religion. As a Christian in a secular institution, Dr. Anderson has been subjected to discrimination and exclusion by the college. 

On September 20, 2024, <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/christian-professors-intro-to-christianity-class-torpedoed-at-asu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix featured</a> Anderson in an article titled “Christian professor’s ‘Intro to Christianity’ class torpedoed at ASU.” Quoting Dr. Anderson’s phone interview, the Fix wrote:
“If a class does not have a general education designation, most students won’t enroll and his college will be hesitant to offer it because it won’t attract many students.” 
Dr. Anderson’s Intro to Christianity class was canceled because he said ASU “[doesn’t] want it taught from a Christian perspective.” He provided The Fix with a member from ASU <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/juliasarreal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associate Professor Julia Sarreal</a> who said, “The syllabus reflects a Christian way of teaching Christianity, which is to say the course does not adequately provide the kids of critical, reflective, disciplinary skills that students need.”

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

Published - September 23, 2024
On January 27, Professor Anderson <a href="https://crossexamined.org/a-guide-to-choosing-a-humanities-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> “A Guide To Choosing a Humanities Professor” for Cross Examined. 

In the guide, Anderson listed a series of qualities and defects found in humanities professors throughout the U.S. that should be sought after or avoided by students. Overall, he says students should pursue a degree that prepares them for life and teaches them to be wise.

Anderson wrote:
“Many professors in these classes don’t know how to teach what is good or what it means to be wise.”
He then explains the purpose of a humanities degree:
“But what about a degree in the humanities? How does it prepare you for life? To do so it would have to teach you what is good for a human life.”
According to Anderson, a humanities degree encourages students to learn and gain wisdom and reach the highest good in life:
“Wisdom is understanding the highest good and knowing how to live your life in a way that helps you reach the good. What is good for a person depends on human nature…The highest good is the ultimate goal we aim for in everything we do. We might have smaller goals along the way, but those are just steps toward something greater. ”
For Anderson, seeking the knowledge of God is an endeavor to reach the highest good that should be embedded into a humanities program:
“Most philosophers agree that the ultimate good for a human is to know God. Thinkers like Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Descartes, and Locke all point to this idea in their work, even if they describe it in different ways. Even philosophers who don’t use the word “God” often still believe that knowing the highest reality—whatever they call it—is what makes life truly good for a person.”
Anderson cautions students to avoid skeptics and nihilists, ask professors what they believe is good, and find a professor who knows what is good. 

“These three steps will help you determine if a professor is wise and capable of teaching you wisdom,” Anderson wrote.

Even if professors who fit Anderson’s criteria cannot be found, the professor concluded with the following consolation:

“The good news is that you can still graduate without taking their classes.”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/1429800" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julia Sarreal</a> is a Professor in the School of Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies at Arizona State University. Sarreal’s research interests include Latin American Studies, Food, Drugs, and Capitalism. Her top area of expertise is “Consumerism.”

On September 20, 2024, Sarreal was featured in The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/christian-professors-intro-to-christianity-class-torpedoed-at-asu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Christian professor’s ‘Intro to Christianity’ class torpedoed at ASU.” The piece covers the cancelation of <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/drowenanderson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor Dr. Owen Anderson’s</a> religious studies course. 

After the college rejected his class, it was revealed that Sarreal objected to the premise of Christianity being taught on campus. The Fix recorded her comments:

“The <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/771107095/REL-270-Introduction-to-Christianity-ASU-Dr-Owen-Anderson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">syllabus</a> reflects a Christian way of teaching Christianity, which is to say the course does not adequately provide the kinds of critical, reflective, disciplinary skills that students need to have in order to study religious traditions.”

“Furthermore, the focus on ‘Western Civilization’ is problematic. It is true that Christianity has been ‘influential’ in European history, it has also been deeply influential elsewhere in ways that are completely ignored in the syllabus.” 

Based on the feedback Sarreal received from Dr. Anderson, it appears she either did not read the syllabus or chose to interpret the lesson plans through an objectionable lens. Sarreal specifically described one of the modules as being “focused on ‘the’ biblical worldview” and called this a “fraught oversimplification.”

Dr. Anderson’s rebuttal to Sarreal’s and other’s concerns about the course can be read <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ONMoLSpqoWzMlY84nc4fThVk7RKCCNPHZZwnJKUPnS8/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.

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

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/1256527" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lela Rankin</a> is a professor in the Arizona State University School of Social Work, Tucson. According to her faculty profile, “Rankin’s scholarship focuses on preventive interventions for children and families, particularly in vulnerable populations.”

According to a January report from the <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/maternal-instinct-is-socially-constructed-myth-arizona-state-u-professor-says/">College Fix</a>, in a lecture Rankin claimed that the maternal instinct is a fabricated myth with no biological reality. 

“[T]his idea of this maternal instinct, it struck me as potentially problematic because it really places the primacy on biological mothers, and then it relegates other people…to essentially secondary babysitters or assistants, right?”

The claims in this lecture are based on  research that can be found in a <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0277953624006257#:~:text=We%20did%20not%20find%20empirical,knowledge%20strengthened%20attachment%20over%20time." target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> Rankin co-authored with Haley G. Krouskop b, Maryanne L. Fisher.

In the study, titled “Mother-infant attachment from the perspective of young mothers: Does the data support a maternal instinct?,” the authors claim the following:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We did not find empirical evidence to support an innate maternal instinct.•</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Young mothers' qualitative experiences with attachment at birth were diverse.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Physical touch-based parenting and parental stress impacted the bonding experience.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Reciprocity and parenting confidence/knowledge strengthened attachment over time.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Mothers developed an “instinct” through repetitive interactions with their infant.”</li>
</ul>
Further addressing the above points, the authors find that no maternal instinct is inherent during the processes of pregnancy and childbirth; rather, a mother infant connection is developed after birth during childcare:

“Despite diverse experiences with felt attachment at birth, all mothers perceived that the mother-infant connection was influenced by contextual factors after birth and was strengthened over time with more care-taking experience. ​​This suggests that mothers likely developed a ‘maternal instinct’ through repetitive interaction with their infant as the primary caretaker rather than a genetic predisposition to be superior nurturing parents.”

In the article’s conclusion, the authors maintain that caregiving and nurturing behaviors are a necessity and should be present during pregnancy or right at childbirth. They cite British psychoanalyst John Bowlby’s concept of attachment theory, among other theorists, in an attempt to backup their claims:  

“If mothers possess an innate instinct for the purposes of bonding, breastfeeding, and other caregiving behaviors… then arguably this instinct should be felt during pregnancy or at childbirth.”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/970381" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sally L. Kitch</a> is a professor in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University. 

According to her faculty profile, Kitch “specializes in three major research and teaching areas: 
<ol>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“[F]eminist theory, including the intellectual history of gender and racial ideology in the U.S. and other countries and the impact of gender representation in visual and narrative culture on the lived realities of diverse women's lives; </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">feminist epistemology, the epistemology of the humanities, and theories of interdisciplinary knowledge production; </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">environmental humanities, including the importance of the humanities to sustainability science and the relationship of sustainability to gender and racial ideologies.”  </li>
</ol>
In the aftermath of the US Supreme Court’s 2022 repeal of Roe v. Wade through the <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/19-1392_6j37.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dobbs Decision</a>, Kitch wrote an <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/369989167_Reproductive_Rights_and_Ecofeminism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Reproductive Rights and Ecofeminism.” 

Ecofeminism is <a href="https://hcwc.college.harvard.edu/education/workshops/ecofeminism#:~:text=Ecofeminism%2C%20also%20called%20ecological%20feminism,merits%20of%20intuition%20and%20collaboration." target="_blank" rel="noopener">defined</a> as a practice using “the basic feminist tenets of gender equality, a revaluing of non-patriarchal or nonlinear structures, and a view of the world that respects organic processes, holistic connections, and the merits of intuition and collaboration.”

In the article, Kitch aligns herself with ecofeminism, and argues that the “Dobbs decision invites an ecofeminist interpretation of its relationship to the destruction of our planet and to the biopolitics of environmental sustainability.”

The professor claimed that there is a connection between the bodies of women, enslaved, disabled, and racialized people, along with animals and nature as “terrains” of conquest: 

“Ecofeminism in the 2020s links those forces by articulating ‘a clear connection between the treatment of the bodies of women, the enslaved, the disabled, and the racialized, and the treatment of lands, animals, and plants: they are all naturalized terrains of experimentation or conquest.”

The term “ecofascist” is used in the article a few times. Kitch’s cited <a href="https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/4-november-december/feature/eco-fascism-uncovered-el-paso-texas">source</a> defines the term as “violence in the name of environmental conservation.” Kitch further writes on “ecofascists”:

“Many ecofascists in the U.S. oppose action to reduce global warming by eliminating carbon emissions as an affront to white patriarchal/capitalist/colonial power, which allegedly emanates from industrial might and its key driver, fossil fuels (Hernandez-Simmons 2022; Westervelt 2022).”

Kitch is still listed on the ASU faculty site as an active professor, yet the <a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/970381" target="_blank" rel="noopener">last course</a> she taught was a practicum in 2022.

The publication explained, “The alleged confrontation occurred after an airport security agent pulled Fair aside and summoned a German police officer, as required by law after an X-ray machine at a security checkpoint indicated her luggage might contain explosives.”
It turns out the substances found in Fair’s bags — cosmetics and roll-on deodorant — had exceeded the amount permitted by law enforcement. The Hoya said, “After the police suggested Fair store a roll-on deodorant in her carry-on bag, the police report states Fair reacted aggressively and called the police ‘f–king bastards’ and ‘f–king Nazi police.’”
The Hoya recorded Fair’s response:
“‘The whole thing was a straight-up shakedown. At the end of the day, this officer just did not want a customer service complaint. If I were a white guy, this wouldn’t be happening to me. For example, the cop called me a hippie. Why am I of all people derided as a hippie?’”
Despite corroborating witness statements cited in the police report — as well as accusations that Fair said another passenger had a “Hitler Youth haircut” — Fair denied all allegations. 
After being detained by German police, the report said Fair was fined $260 in legal fees.

That's the work!”

<a href="https://lannan.georgetown.edu/past-guests/michael-eric-dyson/">Michael Eric Dyson</a> is a Professor of Sociology at Georgetown University.

Dyson has<a href="https://www.wglt.org/post/dyson-isu-white-supremacy-sees-resurgence-under-trump-0#stream/0"> alleged</a> that there has been a “resurgence” of white supremacy under a conservative presidency. In an interview with<a href="https://video.foxnews.com/v/5308799067001#sp=show-clips"> Tucker Carlson</a>, he has also asked for whites to pay reparations to black communities to offset America’s legacy of racism. During a<a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?445812-1/aurea-foundation-hosts-munk-debate-political-correctness"> debate</a> on political correctness in 2018 with Professor Jordan Peterson, Dyson repeatedly referred to Peterson as just a “mean, mad, old, white, man.” 

Just prior to Independence Day 2019, Dyson appeared on<a href="https://www.mediaite.com/politics/michael-eric-dyson-on-betsy-ross-flag-symbolism-why-dont-we-wear-a-swastika-for-july-fourth/"> MSNBC </a>and compared the iconic Betsy Ross Flag to a Nazi Swastika,

“Well, it hails from the Revolutionary period, of course, of this nation’s founding, which was deeply embroiled in, you know, enslavement, of the owners of slaves…..Right-wing white supremacists have used it as a rallying cry for their own cause.” 

Dyson continued,

“Words matter, symbols matter too. Why don’t we wear a swastika for July Fourth? Because I don’t know, it makes a difference.”

Dyson is also associated with the notorious anti-Semite and Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan. In 2010, Dyson<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ULAThBZKiM"> participated</a> in a roundtable discussion hosted by PBS with Farrakhan and<a href="http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/Minister_Louis_Farrakhan_9/article_7248.shtml"> interviewed</a> him the same year about the economic condition of black communities.

Strzok—a former counterintelligence agent with the FBI—was known for his lead role in the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election and former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/declassified-trump-russia-launch-document-authored-by-strzok-and-investigated-by-durham">Strzok launched a counterintelligence operation</a> and obtained multiple warrants to spy on individuals connected to the Trump campaign to determine if the candidate was illegally cultivating ties with Russia. Code-named Operation Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI’s investigation heavily relied on information provided by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele.

Steele had compiled a series of lurid allegations against then-candidate Trump, alleging liabilities to the Kremlin would allow him to be blackmailed by Russia. Referred to as the Steele Dossier, it was <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/clinton-campaign-dnc-paid-for-research-that-led-to-russia-dossier/2017/10/24/226fabf0-b8e4-11e7-a908-a3470754bbb9_story.html?tid=ss_tw&amp;utm_term=.be21b9cb9402">initially paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign</a> before being <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/doj-inspector-general-slams-bruce-ohr-for-consequential-errors-in-judgment">ferried by Bruce Ohr</a> of the Justice Department to the FBI.

The FBI used Steele as an informant to obtain FISA warrants against campaign surrogates George Papadopoulos and Carter Page.

It was later revealed that Steele’s source for the dossier was a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-previously-investigated-steele-dossier-source-as-russian-agent">suspected Russian spy</a> and his <a href="https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2020/07/24/meet_steele_dossiers_primary_subsource_fabulist_russian_at_us_think_tank_whose_boozy_past_the_fbi_ignored_124601.html">allegations were unfounded</a>.

The FBI claimed that Steele was not the source contained in the application while continuing to rely on his allegations.

<a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/15/newly-declassified-papadopoulos-transcript-exposes-crossfire-hurricane-corruption/">Papadopoulos</a> was ultimately never charged with colluding with Russia and the warrants issued for Page have been <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/carter-page-fisa-warrant-lacked-probable-cause-declassified-doj-order-finds">found to lack probable cause for surveillance</a>. A top lawyer working for Strzok has <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/11/22/washington-post-quietly-changes-story-on-altered-russia-probe-document/">pleaded guilty to falsifying information</a> in order to obtain a warrant for Page.

Peter Strzok was also instrumental in setting a perjury trap for General Flynn. Initially a target of Crossfire Hurricane, the Bureau soon closed the investigation over a lack of evidence. Strzok then <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/30/breaking-fbi-closed-flynn-case-dubbed-crossfire-razor-in-early-2017-until-strzok-ordered-it-to-stay-open/">intervened and immediately reopened</a> the case in early 2017. Hoping to catch <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/29/explosive-new-flynn-documents-show-fbi-goal-was-to-get-him-fired/">Flynn in a lie so that he would be fired</a>, Strzok interviewed Flynn over his recent conversation with the Russian Ambassador regarding sanctions. Despite Strzok or then <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/comey-told-obama-flynn-conversations-154702223.html">FBI director James Comey</a> believing that Fynn had not lied or mischaracterized the interaction, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/05/04/your-guide-to-the-obama-administrations-hit-on-michael-flynn/">the FBI charged Flynn with lying under oath</a>. The resultant trial nearly <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/now-imperiled-case-against-flynn-cost-him-millions-of-dollars-his-house-his-job">bankrupted Flynn’s family</a> and is still ongoing.

Throughout 2016 and 2017, Strzok was texting with fellow agent Lisa Page (of whom he was having an affair with at the time) <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/peter-strzok-trump-smell-hillbillies-1020892">his disdain for Trump supporters</a> and his desire to remove Donald Trump for office, referring to a supposed “<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/devin-nunes-peter-strzoks-insurance-policy-was-about-carter-page-fisa-warrant">insurance policy</a>” should he win the election. Strzok, then working with Robert Mueller, coordinated with Lisa Page t<a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/commentary/newly-disclosed-strzok-page-texts-shed-new-light-media-leak-strategy">o selectively leak information</a> about investigations to potentially obtain further warrants.

Strzok was soon <a href="https://apnews.com/article/fc94343ce2ace8e855cf7ef7efe9c8bf">removed from Mueller's team</a> once his communications were discovered, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2018/12/13/doj-destroyed-missing-strzok-page-text-messages-before-ig-reviewed-them/">but wiped his phone</a> before it could be reviewed for any further potentially incriminating texts. <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/fbi-agent-peter-strzok-who-sent-anti-trump-tweets-fired-n900161">He was later fired</a> by the FBI and <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/gregg-jarrett-ig-report-shows-fbi-misconduct-and-abuses-in-anti-trump-probe-of-russia-collusion-hoax">excoriated by an Inspector General’s report</a> over his partisan activities on a government-issued phone.

Throughout his career, Strzok has vindictively wielded the power of the state for his own purposes. To this day, he remains unrepentant and has <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/compromised-peter-strzok-on-investigating-the-trump-campaign/">repeatedly defended his actions</a>, even <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Untitled-Houghton-Mifflin-Harcourt/dp/0358237068">authoring a book</a> accusing the president of being compromised by Vladimir Putin.

Strzok’s texts to Lisa Page demonstrate a clear bias against conservatives, extending far beyond mere words. Strzok has repeatedly and flagrantly discriminated against conservatives.

Acting with impunity, Strzok and his team lied, falsified evidence, spied on, and attempted to bankrupt those serving on a presidential campaign that he opposed. As a professor, Strzok will hold the pivotal role of mentoring future leaders of the intelligence and law enforcement community— the same community whose principles he flagrantly violated. He will also hold the grades of his conservative students in a vice, subject to his personal prejudice. As someone that has demonstrated seemingly no prior hesitation in targeting conservatives, there is no reason to believe that Strzok will not place future students in his crosshairs.

Mr. <a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/0031Q00002Ad6npQAB/josh-ruebner">Josh Ruebner</a> is an adjunct faculty member in the <a href="https://justiceandpeace.georgetown.edu/">Program on Justice and Peace</a> at Georgetown University. According to Georgetown's website, the goal of the Justice and Peace Program is to produce “practically useful scholarships on how to create a more just and peaceful world.” In addition to his teaching roles, Ruebner is a Managing Director for the organization <a href="https://www.ampalestine.org/about-amp/staff">American Muslims for Palestine (AMP)</a>.

Mr. Ruebner has served in the Congressional Research Service (CRS), which provides policy analysis on behalf of committees in both the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. As a member of the CRS, Mr. Ruebner co-authored <a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs1535/m1/1/high_res_d/RL30713_2001Jan05.pdf">The Current Palestinian Uprising: Al-Aqsa Intifadah</a>, in which he accuses Israel of disproportionate use of force against Palestinians. Ruebner has also <a href="https://joshruebner.com/jewish-anti-occupation-group-lobbies-u-s/">sponsored</a> congressional staff members on a trip to the West Bank to advocate cutting off economic aid to Israel.

&nbsp;

Mr. Ruebner alleges that terrorist attacks committed against America are directly linked to ties with Israel. In a December 2002 article titled <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/12/10/striking-with-impunity/">Striking with Impunity</a>, he states that America is guilty of war crimes for providing military aid to Israel—claiming Israel uses this equipment to commit human rights abuses. Mr. Ruebner asks the readers in the same article, how many more “towers need to fall?”—in reference to the horrific September 11th terrorist attacks—before America stops supporting Israel.

Updated - June, 2021

<a href="https://pediatrics.georgetown.edu/reitman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. David Reitman</a> is a doctor and Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at <a href="https://www.georgetown.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Georgetown University</a>. In a leaked lecture, Dr. Reitman advocates for administering puberty-blocking drugs to transition gender-dysphoric minors.

Slides from the lecture delivered to incoming medical students by Dr. Reitman—<a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/georgetown-catholic-medical-school-hormone-therapy-minors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which were obtained by The Spectator</a>—warn that gender dysphoria is a life-threatening condition that often results in suicide. He maintains the only way to treat the depression of transgender minors is through surgery or hormone replacement to “fix” their bodies.

<img class="size-full wp-image-2469 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.56.54-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

&nbsp;

Further, Dr. Reitman claims that even infants can understand their true gender identity. He instructs students to determine if their patients may be transgender by asking the child if he/she wants to grow their hair a certain length or play dress-up. 

<img class="size-full wp-image-2465 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.52.29-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

<img class="size-full wp-image-2466 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.01-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

&nbsp;

Dr. Reitman notes that it's optimal to identify gender dysphoria before puberty to begin cross-sex hormone treatment. He states this will prevent “unwanted secondary sex characteristics” and the minor will not have to undergo gender-transition surgeries later in life. 

<img class="size-full wp-image-2467 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.48-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

&nbsp;

Dr. Reitman then claims the effects of the drugs are fully reversible and puberty can be resumed at any time. While acknowledging these treatments have serious side effects such as loss of bone density, liver damage, and infertility, he still states there is a net benefit.  

<img class="size-full wp-image-2468 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.55.04-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

&nbsp;

A common drug used in gender transitions is Lupron, which was <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designed to castrate sex offenders</a>. Even if the dosage is <a href="https://www.commonsense.news/p/top-trans-doctors-blow-the-whistle?s=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">halted mid-transition, children are still unable to undergo puberty.</a> 

The Spectator further reports that <a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/georgetown-catholic-medical-school-hormone-therapy-minors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Reitman then displayed explicit images of “top” and “bottom” surgeries.</a> This refers to either a double mastectomy (top surgery) or the surgical removal/altering of genitalia (bottom surgery) as part of the transition process.

<a href="https://www.law.georgetown.edu/faculty/dorothy-brown/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dorothy A. Brown</a> is a Professor at Georgetown University. <a href="https://www.law.georgetown.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Brown_CV_June_2022.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to her CV</a>, Brown teaches courses on federal income tax, critical race theory, corporate tax

As the author of “<a href="https://www.harvard.com/book/whiteness_of_wealth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Whiteness of Wealth</a>,” Brown alleges the American tax code was created to prevent black Americans from achieving financial success. As a result, Brown claims that wealth creation was sequestered for white families. 

In 2021, Brown was <a href="https://www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Professor%20Dorothy%20Brown%20Testimony.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">invited by the Senate Finance Committee</a> to deliver testimony regarding her research. She stated that America still suffers from systemic racism and the tax law only perpetuates racial inequity. She further alleged that Americans bring their racial identities into their tax codes, as the tax law was written alongside Jim Crow laws to benefit whites. 

“What my research has revealed is that because systemic racism is very real, all American taxpayers bring our racial identities onto our tax returns.”

During an interview with the Rockafeller Foundation, Brown further claimed that only “white wealth” can be built in America.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bQgVPl9-xg&amp;ab_channel=PoliticsandProse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a separate interview</a> with Elie Mystal—who once <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/nation-correspondent-elie-mystal-us-constitution-actually-trash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called the U.S. Constitution “trash”</a>—Brown again affirmed that building wealth is inherently connected to race. Citing college drop-out rates and unemployment amongst blacks, she claimed these and other disparities are proof the tax code exists to benefit white people. 

To alleviate racial inequity, Dr. Brown suggests the following: 

- Levy a “reparations” tax to repay black Americans for past and present discrimination. 

- Mandate companies' self-audit each year in order to ensure they are hiring a proportionate number of employees from each race. 

- Deny white Americans mortgage exemptions if they do not live in a neighborhood where at least 10% of their neighbors are black. 

During the Q&amp;A section of the interview, Brown laments that she cannot adopt an explicitly “pro-black” tax policy, as the Supreme Court would not uphold it. Rather, she admits that her initial proposals will have to target income levels rather than cater to specific races.

Professor Jeff Bernstein, Georgetown University, was a Master of Foreign Service advisory board member. Bernstein made the list after he responded to a Tweet sent out by Allie Stuckey that stated: "The #metoo movement is a symptom of a broken world." Bernstein chose to respond to this Tweet with his own, saying, "Wishing you a #metoo moment. Maybe then you won't be so insensitive." Bernstein has since apologized for the Tweet and has resigned from his position with Georgetown University.

According to her university biography, Dr. Candela’s research focuses on Chinese History, Society, and Migrations.
A leaked syllabus for Dr. Candela’s class—“Social Change-Introduction to Sociology”— announces that in class discussions, priority will be given to people of color and women.
The syllabus—first reported on by Campus Reform—<a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/559564087/SOC-100B-2022-Spring-Syallbus-2-Redacted#download&amp;from_embed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asks students who are “white, male, or someone who is privileged by racial or gender structures</a>” to yield their questions or comments to women and “non-white folks” under the section titled “Class Discussion Guidelines.”  Dr. Candela describes the practice as “progressive stacking,” which grants preferential treatment to individuals based on skin color, sexuality, gender, and race.
“We practice progressive stacking when calling on people to participate in class discussions. This means we try to give priority to non-white folks, to women, and to shy and quiet people who rarely raise their hands. It also means that if you are a white male, or someone privileged by the racial and gender structures of our society, to have your voice easily voiced and heard, we will often ask you to hold off on your questions or comments to give others priority and will come back to you a bit later or at another time.” 
<a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/11/06/progressive-stacking-is-infiltrating-college-classrooms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professors across the country have adopted this tactic</a>. Students considered marginalized by society are called on before white males. The tactic appears to have begun during Occupy Wall Street in 2011 before spreading to academia.
Earlier in the same section, Dr. Candela quotes Chinese dictator Mao Zedong favorably,
“Mao Zedong is famous for having once said, “No investigation, no right to speak.” While a bit harsh, it helps to convey the idea that speaking during class discussions should be based on having done your investigative work.” 
<a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Mao-Zedong" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mao</a>—who chaired the Chinese Communist Party from 1935 until his death in 1976—is considered one of the deadliest heads of state in history. <a href="https://www.heritage.org/asia/commentary/the-legacy-mao-zedong-mass-murder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">An estimated 65 million Chinese perished during his regime</a>. Mao’s farming collectivization—known as the “Great Leap Forward”—contributed to upwards of 40 million of these deaths during the largest man-made famine in history.
During China’s “Cultural Revolution”, Mao enlisted students—dubbed the “Red Guard&#8221;—<a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2021/01/chinas-rebel-historians/617265/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to target teachers, intellectuals, workers, government officials, and civilians deemed insufficiently supportive of the Communist Party</a>. Millions were publicly shamed. An estimated 1.5 million people were killed before the purges ended in 1976.
The syllabus takes further care to note that masks are mandated during class. If any students arrive without a mask, Dr. Candela threatens to dismiss everyone in attendance and cancel the lecture entirely.

<a href="https://www.coursicle.com/binghamton/professors/Meisha+Lohmann/">Meisha Lohmann</a> is a lecturer in the English Department at Binghamton University.

In a piece for <a href="https://theconversation.com/wonka-movie-holds-remnants-of-novels-racist-past-217069">The Conversation</a>, Lohmann writes about the 2023 film “Wonka.” She addresses what she calls a racial agenda regarding the film’s character “Noodle” along with that of the original Willy Wonka story written by Roald Dahl. She writes:
“Unfortunately, the latest <a href="https://www.wonkamovie.com/">Wonka</a> movie also engages in the type of implicit racism that remains in the revised 1974 version of the novel. The most prominent Black character, a girl named Noodle, played by the talented <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7412362/">Calah Lane</a>, takes a back seat to Wonka in the major events of the film.”
Noodle, according to Lohmann, is a girl cast “in the position of an unfortunate Black girl who can only hope for a ride on Wonka’s velvet coattails.” Wonka’s role is seen as that of a “white savior.”

Lohmann also discusses the original Willy Wonka story in Dahl’s book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (part of which was re-written a few years after its publication in 1964). Regarding the original story, Lohmann writes of Wonka’s actions towards the Oompa-Loompas:
“Wonka describes how he ‘smuggled’ the Oompa-Loompas into the country in ‘large packing cases with holes in them,’ the image clearly recalls slave ships navigating the <a href="https://www.nps.gov/articles/the-middle-passage.htm#:%7E:text=The%20Middle%20Passage%20itself%20lasted,15%25%20grew%20sick%20and%20died.">Middle Passage</a>.” 
Donald Sturrock’s “<a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=udN6caZEJesC&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;source=gbs_ge_summary_r&amp;cad=0#v=onepage&amp;q=naacp&amp;f=false" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Storyteller: TheAuthorized Biography of Roald Dahl</a>” addresses the controversy behind Dahl’s original Oompah-Loompa character. Upon facing criticism of the African Oompa-Loompas from the NAACP, Dahl changed their appearance and nature. Dahl was dismayed with the disapproval of these characters in their original form. He felt the NAACP believed his book to be “a subtle anti-negro manual,” which he said was far from his intentions.

Returning to the more recent Willy Wonka film, Lohmann cited some dialogue, with her descriptions, between Wonka and Noodle: 
“I know things haven’t been easy for you.” ‘Wonka says in the movie.’ “They’re going to get better.”
“You promise?” ‘Noodle replies, hopefully, and he does promise, highlighting his role as her white savior. Another character in voice-over agrees:’ “You could change her life, Mr. Wonka. Change all their lives.”
Lohmann finished the piece by lamenting “Wonka’s” failure to move “away from the novel’s racist origins,” and impart “the power of imagination on a new generation.”  She cautions moviegoers from watching the film and to wait for a Wonka movie devoid of what she perceives as racism. 
“Unfortunately, moviegoers may find themselves having to hold their breath and make a wish, as Gene Wilder <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVi3-PrQ0pY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated in a song</a> from the 1971 movie, for a version that holds no remnants of its racist past.”

Ana Maria Candela

<a href="https://uas.alaska.edu/dir/latwitchell.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X̱ʼunei Lance Twitchell</a> is a Professor of Alaskan Native Languages in the department of Arts and Sciences — Humanities at the University of Alaska Southeast.
According to <a href="https://www.firstnations.org/stories/luce-fellow-spotlight-x%CC%B1%CA%BCunei-lance-twitchell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">First Nations Development Institute</a>, “Twitchell has spent half his life working with Tlingit elders to learn, understand, and teach the endangered Tlingit language.” The Tlingits are an indigenous people in the Pacific Northwest of North America.
In 2018, Twitchell wrote his dissertation for his P.h.D. titled <a href="https://www.academia.edu/37986649/HAA_DACHX_%C3%81NX%CA%BCI_S%C3%81ANI_KAG%C3%89IYI_Y%C3%8DS_HAA_YOO_X_%CA%BCAT%C3%81NGI_KEI_NALTSEEN_FOR_OUR_LITTLE_GRANDCHILDREN_LANGUAGE_REVITALIZATION_AMONG_THE_TLINGIT_by_X_%CA%BCunei_Lance_Twitchell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“HAA DACHX̱ÁNXʼI SÁANI KAGÉIYI YÍS: HAA YOO X̱ʼATÁNGI KEI NALTSEEN FOR OUR LITTLE GRANDCHILDREN: LANGUAGE REVITALIZATION AMONG THE TLINGIT.” </a>
According to its abstract, “This dissertation documents some of the events that have led to massive language decline, and proposes a series of interconnected methods that would result in language revitalization.”
In the essay, Twitchell states:
“If modernity is the vehicle that allows colonialism to exist in such a privileged state that examination is seen as backwards, chaos-inducing, or unpatriotic, then its partner in genocidal crime is coloniality. These concepts are important to understand in order to untangle the value systems that are nested within colonizing languages.”
Twitchell calls for the revitalization of indigenous languages: 
“In order to begin creating equity in these areas of disparity, Indigenous languages must be revitalized. Places of power and use must be created and language continuity movements must have the support of individuals, families, institutions, and governments. Language is sovereignty. Language is identity. Language is the way to succeed. Language is the way to survive.” 
In another essay titled “<a href="https://www.academia.edu/27361526/Cha_Haa_K%C3%A1x_Yan_Has_Ag_adeil_Just_Let_Them_Watch_Over_Us_Creating_Safe_Acquisition_Environments_for_Indigenous_Languages" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ch&#8217;a Haa Káx Yan Has Agadeil: Just Let Them Watch Over Us Creating Safe Acquisition Environments for Indigenous Languages”</a> Twitchell addresses general indigenous usage of language, and comments upon what he claims are, “The dehumanizing effects of American genocide and oppression only add to this, where the suffering is either invisible or an inevitable price for freedom.”
He also asserts the following about minorities, claiming that they are oppressed by the United States:
“Indigenous communities must be cautious when it comes to oppression of women, the poor, the uneducated, LGBTQ, mixed ethnicities, and those with disabilities. The metaoppressions that create success in America are commonly replicated either in efforts to assimilate and succeed or to become a dominant cultural spokesperson who distorts culture in order to replicate oppressive individual success.”
Twitchell suggests that “the soul-crushing scars of worldwide colonization and genocide should be further explored so that all those involved in building movements and working towards linguistic equity can understand the use of terms like beaten persons syndrome and work towards creating spaces that nurture and protect existing speakers while finding the paths that will create speakers in the future.”

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