Christopher Nunez is a formerly undocumented, visually impaired choreographer, educator, and accessibility consultant who was named Princeton University Arts Fellow for 2022-2024. Nunez’s university <a href="https://arts.princeton.edu/news/2022/03/princeton-arts-fellows-for-2022-2024-announced/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fellowship announcement says</a>, “His performances have been presented at The Brooklyn Museum for The Immigrant Artist Biennale…” and “his work has been featured in publications such as The New York Times…” 
His personal biography webpage states,
“Since his arrival in NYC, Nunez has supported and worked for different social causes, groups, and organizations for the rights of undocumented, disabled, indigenous, and LGBT+ people. He has been the Manager of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility for Dance/NYC…[and was] a core member of the Artists of Color Council at Movement Research.”
“Nunez [is the] Founder of the Accessibility Advisory Team (AAT), a group of disabled artists who advise Movement Research on accessibility and inclusion practices through its various departments and platform.”
Nunez teaches a course called “<a href="https://arts.princeton.edu/courses/introduction-to-radical-access-disability-justice-in-the-arts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Introduction to Radical Access: Disability Justice in the Arts.</a>”  The class introduction says, “Disability is front and center in a global social justice revolution…This course invites all artists, from choreographers to theater makers, filmmakers, visual artists, writers, and composers to immerse in a highly collaborative, improvisational, experimental and inclusive community to explore Disability Justice…”
<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/princeton-agender-and-neurodivergent-performer-flaunts-disability-and-anti-technique/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix reports</a>, “The ‘Intro to Radical Access’ Princeton Dance program and Program for Community Engaged Scholarship hosted [a] ‘anti-technique’ performance.” However, Catholic students were moved to pray against evil spirits after attending the controversial dance performance that featured Nunez and two other &#8220;disabled&#8221; artists.

The performance showcased the artistic abilities of the disabled, mentally ill, and trans-identifying students. According to the College Fix, Nunez said, “‘This is the first time that we get to experience in a more pragmatic, practical way what access, accessibility, and access artistry means.’”

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

— Peter Singer (@PeterSinger) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterSinger/status/1722440246972018857?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 9, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The article Singer referred to states that “[s]ex with animals is a powerful social taboo that exposes its practitioners to utmost indignation and stigma.” The piece also claims, “Many people who have sex with animals do not strictly speaking have a zoophilic orientation, but use animals as surrogates for human sex partners.”
The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/11/11/lifestyle/princeton-professor-ignites-outrage-by-calling-journal-article-about-sex-with-animals-thought-provoking-someone-check-his-hard-drive/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> that Singer followed up his original post with an essay on Facebook where he clarified:
“I didn’t write the article on the permissibility of zoophilia [but] I am a co-editor for that journal. The fact that we judge an article worthy of publication does not indicate that I or my co-editors agree with the views contained in it…The Journal of Conversational Ideas is free and open access for everyone to read…
“Now imagine that you are an animal living with a person who cares for you and loves you in all the ways that most people love their companion animals, but in addition, this person sometimes has sexual contact with you, making sure that the contact does not hurt you, and leaving you free to move away if you don't like it…”

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

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

According to her University biography, Dr. Taylor is a scholar of racial inequity in public policymaking, and writes “extensively” about race, politics, and “radical activism.”

As a Professor and political commentator, Dr. Taylor offers her opinion across a wide variety of social media platforms and media outlets. She is known to condemn capitalism, the United States, and Israel while lauding socialism and the Soviet Union.

On her personal <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter account</a>, Dr. Taylor smears Israel as a racial, apartheid state that actively commits genocide against Arabs in the Middle East. In one tweet, she alleges that Israel is attempting to “annihilate” Palestine:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
The consequence of apartheid is not separation, it’s annihilation. End the occupation, free Palestine <a href="https://t.co/2jUOpL3oBq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/2jUOpL3oBq</a>
— Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor (@KeeangaYamahtta) <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta/status/1392287946653503490?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May 12, 2021</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

In another post, she flagrantly alleges that Israel is engaged in the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and Gaza, despite the <a href="https://www.camera.org/article/methodist-staffer-demonizes-israel-reveals-ignorance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resident Arab population quadrupling since 1948</a>,
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
What we are witnessing is not the “eviction” of Palestinians from their homes. This is ethnic cleansing. This is the most basic expression of settler colonialism. This is the illegal and immoral expulsion of Palestinians with the expectation they are “accepted” elsewhere. <a href="https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8</a>
— Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor (@KeeangaYamahtta) <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta/status/1392286002950164480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May 12, 2021</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Dr. Taylor likewise alleges the United States is a brutally racist and oppressive society. In an article for the Marxist publication, Jacobin,<a href="https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/05/reparations-slavery-racism-united-states-foundation" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> she depicts racism as foundational to the United States</a>.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1846" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-19T122121.004-e1637349803441-1024x363.png" alt="" width="500" height="177" />

A frequent critic of policing, which she views as systemic racism embedded in the United States, Dr. Taylor lauds the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as a “liberation struggle.” With communist, vice-presidential candidate, and Black Panther Party member, <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angeladavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angela Davis</a>, writing the forward, Dr. Taylor’s book—<a href="https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1646-from-blacklivesmatter-to-black-liberation-expanded-second-edition">From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation</a>—she praises the movement for having “awakened a new generation of activists” that will fight for “black liberation.”

BLM was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder. After a jury acquitted Zimmerman in 2013, <a href="https://patrissecullors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrice Cullors</a> joined with <a href="https://aliciagarza.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alicia Garza</a> and <a href="https://www.opaltometi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Opal Tometi</a> to found an organization, <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as stated on its website</a>.

“....whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes.” 

BLM came to further prominence following the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/gunshots-looting-after-grand-jury-in-ferguson-case-does-not-indict-officer-in-michael-brown-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">riots in Ferguson, Missouri</a> in reaction to the acquittal of police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of robbery suspect, Michael Brown. Although later determined that Brown had attacked the officer, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hands-up-dont-shoot-makes-wapos-list-of-outlandish-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BLM was instrumental in spreading the lie</a> that Brown was shot at point-blank range with his hands raised.

In an interview with the progressive news outlet, DemocracyNow, in June of 2020, Dr. Taylor praises the BLM movement’s fight against systemic racism, stating that our nation is witnessing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMOG-W_X9m8&amp;ab_channel=DemocracyNow%21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an “uprising” against “racial terrorism” being inflicted upon black Americans by police officers</a>.

According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/">The Federalist</a> found, “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

&nbsp;

In separate Twitter posts, Dr. Taylor has condemned capitalism as being inherently exploitative while promoting the merits of socialism.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
There is no good US capitalism. The so called golden age of capitalism relied on shackling women to the home, bolting LGBT people in the closet, restricting immigration to Europeans, &amp; segregating Black people into resource starved enclaves. Capitalism has always been the problem

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Dr. Taylor’s positive view on socialism extends to the embrace of communist dictatorships. While attending the “This is Socialism!” conference in 2017, Dr. Taylor delivered a speech that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndSASqMLYMg&amp;ab_channel=WeAreManyMedia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">praised the Russian Revolution</a> for its inspiration towards American communists and "revolution" against capitalism.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Taylor-Russian-Revolution-.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Despite her praise, the Bolshevik Revolution and the resulting formation of the Soviet Union cost millions of lives. Upon overthrowing the Russian government in October 1917, Vladimir Lenin immediately set up <a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=lenin%27s+red+terror&amp;atb=v263-1&amp;ia=web" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a series of concentration camps for political prisoners and led the Soviet secret police in a brutal crackdown</a> known as the “Red Terror.” As many as one million people perished before the carnage ended with the cessation of the Russian Civil War in 1921. Over the course of the USSR's existence, as <a href="https://fee.org/articles/the-staggering-toll-of-the-russian-revolution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">many as 60 million people perished under Soviet rule</a>.

In recognition of her work, Dr. Taylor was <a href="https://aas.princeton.edu/news/2021-macarthur-fellow-keeanga-yamahtta-taylor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">awarded a MacArthur Foundation “Genius” Award</a> in 2021.

Best is a <a href="https://aas.princeton.edu/people/wallace-d-best" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hughes-Rogers Professor in the Department of African American Studies and the Department of Religion</a> at Princeton University. He’s also the Director of the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies.

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

Her interests are focused on the Philosophy of Sex, Gender and Sexuality, as well as Feminist Theory, Bioethics, and the work of Michel Foucault — a deceased philosopher and political activist.

Clune-Taylor was featured in a Princeton Alumni Weekly article titled “<a href="https://paw.princeton.edu/article/conversation-science-ethics-and-policy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Conversation: Science, Ethics, and Policy.</a>” Her research is described as taking “an interdisciplinary and intersectional feminist approach to the science, bioethics, and biopolitics of medically managing intersex conditions in children.” In the article, she discussed her values and views on medical discrimination against “patients of color” and those on the gender spectrum.

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

Ruha Benjamin serves as the <a href="https://aas.princeton.edu/people/ruha-benjamin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Director of Graduate Affairs and a Professor for the Department of African American Studies</a> at Princeton University. Her university profile says she “specializes in the interdisciplinary study of science, medicine, and technology with a focus on the relationship between innovation and social equity.” 

Professor Benjamin is the author of several publications including a book titled “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Race_After_Technology/G6-hDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code</a>.” The book explores how “emerging technologies can reinforce White supremacy and deepen social inequity.”

The introduction contains a section called Race as Technology where she states that technology is “designed to separate, stratify, and sanctify the many forms of injustice experienced by members of racialized groups, but one that people routinely reimagine and redeploy to other ends.”
<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-2358" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/PWL-QUOTES-12-e1665699428164-1024x407.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="254" />
In a <a href="https://youtu.be/rY8RkET3KC0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video discussing her reasons for writing</a> “Race After Technology,” Benjamin gave an example of how technology is racist. She said, “Two friends [were] using an automated soap dispenser and the soap wouldn’t come out [for] the individual with darker skin because darker skin absorbs light. So if it’s infrared technology, it’s not going to work as effectively.”

Professor Benjamin <a href="https://youtu.be/_8RrX4hjCr0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">also gave a Ted Talk</a> where she used laboratory and park benches to discuss how “the idea of discriminatory design is a global phenomenon.” She also says, “I think at the heart of discriminatory design is this idea that we can create technological fixes for social crises…we create short-term responses that often get the issues out of sight, out of mind.”

Salamon was quoted stating that she aimed to “carefully study the misrecognition at the heart of the case and how gender identity was misread as sexual identity.”

“We rise in coalition with the students, scholars, and people of conscience resisting the forces currently deployed to silence, mischaracterize, and criminalize dissent on college campuses and beyond…A culture of intimidation, silencing, and punishment is now moving across the United States and around the world.”
Salamon and the FJP further declared “support for those in Palestine who have called for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS)...” The letter ends with a call for an “end to Israeli occupation and apartheid and for a free Palestine…”

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

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

An Islamist terrorist group, Hamas’s charter calls for the <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews:</a>
“Israel will rise and will remain erect until Islam eliminates it as it had eliminated its predecessors.” - Hamas Charter
The organization is known to <a href="https://palwatch.org/page/18217" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deploy suicide bombers</a> and <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/05/prelude-to-war-palestinian-terrorists-fire-hundreds-of-rockets-at-israel-from-and-to-civilian-areas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fire rockets</a> that target civilian areas; Hamas is responsible for the deaths of <a href="https://www.fdd.org/in_the_news/2021/05/26/faq-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thousands of Israelis and at least 25 Americans</a>. 

Despite his views, Dr. Falk was chosen by the United Nations to serve as the Special Rapporteur on Palestinian Human Rights. From this position, he accused Israel of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in a report titled,”<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170316054753/https://www.unescwa.org/sites/www.unescwa.org/files/publications/files/israeli-practices-palestinian-people-apartheid-occupation-english.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Israeli Practices toward the Palestinian People and the Question of Apartheid.</a>” 

The report maligns Israel as a “racial state” that pursues “racial domination” and forcible displacement of the Palestinians. Falk recommends that Israel be investigated by the International Criminal Court and that international governments hold unilateral trials for Israeli officials. 

He urges businesses to boycott the state as part of the BDS campaign. BDS—short for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions—embraces the following three tenets as a feature of the campaign: 

- Boycotting all goods that originate from the state of Israel;

- Divesting all funds (private or public) that are allocated to Israel; and

- Placing sanctions exclusively on Israel. 

Following the publication of the document, Dr. Falk doubled down on his stance in an interview with The Forward, further calling for the <a href="https://forward.com/news/breaking-news/164986/richard-falk-calls-for-corporate-israel-boycott/#ixzz2APbfkSvl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boycott of any company</a> that does business in Israel:
“My main recommendation is that the businesses highlighted in the report – as well as the many other businesses that are profiting from the Israeli settlement enterprise – should be boycotted until they bring their operations into line with international human rights and humanitarian law and standards.” 
Elsewhere, Dr. Falk has <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2017/07/un-anti-israel-bias-richard-falk-pro-iran-9-11-truther-investigates-jewish-state/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disputed that Al-Qaeda is solely responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks</a>. In an interview on the site, Truth Jihad, he endorsed the idea the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/politics/special-rapporteur-for-911-truth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highjackings might have been a false-flag operation</a>. He further authored a blog post, “<a href="https://richardfalk.org/2013/04/19/a-commentary-on-the-marathon-murders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Commentary on the Marathon Murders</a>,” that blamed the Boston Bombings on the foreign policy of DC and Tel Aviv. 

Due to his views, Dr. Falk was <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2008/dec/19/israel-palestinian-territories-united-nations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned from Israel in 2008</a>. Although officially retired from teaching, he still holds the position of professor emeritus at Princeton.

His personal biography webpage states,

“Since his arrival in NYC, Nunez has supported and worked for different social causes, groups, and organizations for the rights of undocumented, disabled, indigenous, and LGBT+ people. He has been the Manager of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility for Dance/NYC…[and was] a core member of the Artists of Color Council at Movement Research.”

“Nunez [is the] Founder of the Accessibility Advisory Team (AAT), a group of disabled artists who advise Movement Research on accessibility and inclusion practices through its various departments and platform.”

Nunez teaches a course called “<a href="https://arts.princeton.edu/courses/introduction-to-radical-access-disability-justice-in-the-arts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Introduction to Radical Access: Disability Justice in the Arts.</a>”  The class introduction says, “Disability is front and center in a global social justice revolution…This course invites all artists, from choreographers to theater makers, filmmakers, visual artists, writers, and composers to immerse in a highly collaborative, improvisational, experimental and inclusive community to explore Disability Justice…”

<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/princeton-agender-and-neurodivergent-performer-flaunts-disability-and-anti-technique/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix reports</a>, “The ‘Intro to Radical Access’ Princeton Dance program and Program for Community Engaged Scholarship hosted [a] ‘anti-technique’ performance.” However, Catholic students were moved to pray against evil spirits after attending the controversial dance performance that featured Nunez and two other "disabled" artists.

The performance showcased the artistic abilities of the disabled, mentally ill, and trans-identifying students. According to the College Fix, Nunez said, “‘This is the first time that we get to experience in a more pragmatic, practical way what access, accessibility, and access artistry means.’”

Atchison’s profile — which can only be found on the class description page — also shows her research “includes gender-based environmental violence, environmental racism/justice, ecofeminism, feminist/queer theology…Black church history…and African American women’s literary criticism.” 

Atchison contributes to a blog called <a href="https://www.antiracistdevotional.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racist Devotional</a>. On <a href="https://www.antiracistdevotional.org/dr-gabriel-atchison" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atchison’s About page</a> she describes herself as a “Black Feminist theologian” and the Congregational Development Director at Trinity Episcopal Church who researches “the role of the church in the racial identity development of Black Episcopalians.”

In her book titled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B6GQR4FJ/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0?asin=B0B6GQR4FJ&amp;revisionId=ca68030b&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Are You the Unchurched?: How to Develop an Authentic Relationship with God inside or outside the Church</a>,” Atchison remarked on survey results from a Christian research institute. She said,

“Overwhelmingly, young adults who were studied named hostility toward [LGBTQ+] people as the reason they do not attend church…Based on my understanding of the research, the unchurched are Christians who are:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">College-educated</li>

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

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

<a href="https://sociology.princeton.edu/people/frederick-wherry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frederick Wherry</a> is the Class of 1917 Professor of Sociology at Princeton University. In June 2022, he was named the inaugural vice dean for diversity and inclusion by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty.

In the same publication, Wherry said,

“‘Diversity and inclusion are critical to our core mission. When our faculty and academic professionals can participate fully in our shared endeavor, we are all able to see problems in new ways, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, making way for innovation.’”

As the Director of the <a href="https://www.dignityanddebt.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Digntiy and Debt Network</a>, Wherry leads an organization of “experts” who research concepts of “dignity, respect, and fairness” in lending and debt collection. The organization studies debt along racial and socio-economic lines and states one of its goals is “to change the conversation about credit and debt among those measuring financial access and wellness…[b]y developing novel visualizations of dignity and debt…”

Wherry is in favor of canceling student loan debt. He believes borrowers are “victims” while lenders are “perpetrators.”

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

<a href="https://nes.princeton.edu/people/satyel-larson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Satyel Larson</a> is an Assistant Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University. Larson’s areas of instruction are “Anthropology,” “Law and society,” “The Maghreb” and “Women, gender and sexuality.” Her faculty profile says:
“Her research and teaching lie at the intersections of law, science, technology and society; women, gender and sexuality; reproduction, health and medicine; Islam and secularism; colonialism, postcolonialism and globality; historical anthropology and epistemology; political economy; and language, discourse and narrative.”
Larson <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/princeton-anti-capitalist-class-teaching-black-people-considered-handicapped-systemic-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made headlines</a> for reportedly teaching a course “that claims black people can be considered disabled due to the purported systemic racism they face.” Princeton’s Undergraduate Courses-Fall 2023 <a href="https://nes.princeton.edu/courses">schedule</a> lists Larson as the instructor for “The Healing Humanities: Decolonizing Trauma Studies from the Global South.” The course description says the course:
“Introduces the transdisciplinary field of trauma studies by examining visions of humanity…Reorienting healing as a decolonizing process enables students to re-politicize personal trauma as it intersects with global legacies of violence, war, racism, slavery, patriarchy, colonialism, orientalism, homophobia, ableism, capitalism and extractivism.”
<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/princeton-anti-capitalist-class-teaching-black-people-considered-handicapped-systemic-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> highlighted Larson’s racialized course along with a textbook on the <a href="https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?courseid=016853&amp;term=1242" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sample Reading List.</a> According to the publisher, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Right-Maim-Debility-Disability-Otherwise/dp/0822369184/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3CJIPSGV1XZ1X&amp;keywords=Jasbir+Puar%2C+The+Right+to+Maim%3A+Debility%2C+Capacity%2C+Disability&amp;qid=1693330890&amp;sprefix=%2Caps%2C142&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Right to Maim: Debility, Capacity, Disability</a>” by Rutgers professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/jasbirpuar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jasbir Puar</a> is “an interrogation of Israel’s policies toward Palestine, in which [Puar] outlines how Israel brings Palestinians into biopolitical being by designating them available for injury.”

According to the <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/israeli-minister-asks-princeton-to-remove-antisemitic-propaganda-from-course/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Review</a>, “The International Legal Forum, an Israel-based non-profit, criticized the decision to include [Puar’s] book in the course curriculum” and the “Israeli Minister and the International Legal Forum called for removing the book from the course.”

The Review also said, “Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, called for canceling the course and terminating [Larson].”

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

<a href="https://aas.princeton.edu/people/eddie-s-glaude-jr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eddie Glaude Jr.</a> is a Professor in the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University. In April 2023, Glaude <a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2023/04/african-american-studies-department-princeton-university-glaude-eddie-stepping-down-chair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that he would step down from his position as chair of the Department of African American Studies at Princeton.

Glaude is the author of several race-focused publications, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Democracy-Black-Still-Enslaves-American/dp/1522634940?asin=0804137439&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">including a book</a> entitled, “Democracy in Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul.” In the introduction, Glaude wrote:
“This book details what I call the Great Black Depression, and shows how the current rhetoric of economic recovery does not include the majority of black communities in this country. It challenges the pervasive silence about the crisis in black communities and puts forward an idea of American democracy shorn of its racist baggage.”
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Exodus-Religion-Nation-Nineteenth-Century-America/dp/0226298205/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1AHS2LRZ49TN3&amp;keywords=Exodus%21+Religion%2C+race+and+nation+in+Early+19th+century+black+america&amp;qid=1707509859&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=exodus+religion%2C+race+and+nation+in+early+19th+century+black+america%2Cstripbooks%2C121&amp;sr=1-1&amp;asin=0226298205&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In his novel</a> titled “Exodus! Religion, Race, and Nation In Early 19th Century Black America,” Glaude compares the plight of African Americans to biblical accounts of Jews gaining freedom from slavery in Egypt. Glaude said his rendition explores “the ways the story became a source for a particular use of nation language among African Americans as well as a metaphorical framework for understanding the middle passage, enslavement, and quests for emancipation.”

The 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>

“The ongoing Israeli assault upon the Gaza Strip must be stopped … The international community must force Israel, Hamas, and all parties to the conflict to adhere strictly to the letter of international law, first and foremost by putting an immediate and complete halt to the unchecked collective punishment currently being deployed against Palestinians in Gaza.” 
The writers further claimed there is a “widespread dehumanization and erasure of Palestinian life in the United States” and that students who voice support for Palestinians are “continuously subjected to harassment, intimidation, imperiled job prospects, and threats to their personal safety.”

The letter concluded by acknowledging the university’s efforts to “reach out to Jewish community members as well as those with Israeli citizenship to check on their well-being.” They then state:
“We find it unacceptable, however, that Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students were not and have not been accorded a similar show of respect and care. We call upon the University administration to do everything in its power to ensure that all Princetonians are recognized and feel safe and seen in this moment of accelerating grief, horror, and outright danger.”

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.” 
Ghamari-Tabrizi also signed an open letter published by <a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2023/10/princeton-opinion-openletter-solidarity-israel-palestine-peace-justice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Princetonian</a> on November 29, 2023, titled “An open letter from Princeton faculty and students in solidarity with Gaza.” The letter included the following quote:
“The ongoing Israeli assault upon the Gaza Strip must be stopped … The international community must force Israel, Hamas, and all parties to the conflict to adhere strictly to the letter of international law, first and foremost by putting an immediate and complete halt to the unchecked collective punishment currently being deployed against Palestinians in Gaza.” 
The writers further claimed there is a “widespread dehumanization and erasure of Palestinian life in the United States” and that students who voice support for Palestinians are “continuously subjected to harassment, intimidation, imperiled job prospects, and threats to their personal safety.”

The letter concluded by acknowledging the university’s efforts to “reach out to Jewish community members as well as those with Israeli citizenship to check on their well-being.” They then state:
“We find it unacceptable, however, that Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students were not and have not been accorded a similar show of respect and care. We call upon the University administration to do everything in its power to ensure that all Princetonians are recognized and feel safe and seen in this moment of accelerating grief, horror, and outright danger.”

<a href="https://anthropology.princeton.edu/people/faculty/agustin-fuentes">Agustín Fuentes</a> is a Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University. According to his university profile, Fuentes’ “research focuses on the biosocial, delving into the entanglement of biological systems with the social and cultural lives of humans, our ancestors, and a few of the other animals with whom humanity shares close relations.” 

His profile further states the nature of his research:
“From chasing monkeys in jungles and cities, to exploring the lives of our evolutionary ancestors, to examining human health, behavior, and diversity across the globe, Professor Fuentes is interested in both the big questions and the small details of what makes humans and our close relations tick.”
In April 2024, Fuentes 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.” 
In May 2023, Fuentes penned an opinion piece for Scientific American titled “<a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/heres-why-human-sex-is-not-binary/?amp;text=Here%27s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Here’s Why Human Sex Is Not Binary</a>.” He began his article by stating: 
“There are those, politicians, pundits and even a few scientists, who maintain that whether our bodies make ova or sperm are all we need to know about sex. They assert that men and women are defined by their production of these gamete cells, making them a distinct biological binary pair, and that our legal rights and social possibilities should flow from this divide.” 
Fuentes argued that this is “bad science” and that people who believe legal and policy decisions should be made based on sex “are arguing for a specific political, and discriminatory, definition of what is ‘natural’ and ‘right’ for humans based on a false representation of biology.” He went on to claim: 
“Over the past few centuries this process of misrepresentation of biology was, and still is, used to deny women rights and to justify legal and societal misogyny and inequity, to justify slavery, racialization, racism and to enforce multiple forms of discrimination and bias.” 
“Today dishonest ascriptions of what biology is are being deployed to restrict women’s bodily autonomy, target LGBTQIA+ individuals broadly and, most recently, attack the rights of transexual and transgender people.” 
Fuentes concluded his opinion piece: 
“Given what we know about biology across animals and in humans, efforts to represent human sex as binary based solely on what gametes one produces are not about biology but are about trying to restrict who counts as a full human in society.”

Lurie spoke at the walkout in opposition to the disciplinary actions brought against student protesters:
“We demand that all Barnard College and Columbia University suspensions and charges be dismissed immediately and expunged from students’ records.”
Lurie told the <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/23/aaup-drafts-resolution-of-censure-against-shafik-administration-following-nypd-sweep/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbia Spectator</a> that the AAUP disapproved of Shafik’s response to the protesters and said:
“We want to be really clear that we are not calling for her resignation at this time. We want to work with her. We want her and her administration to turn back from the road that they’ve started down last week, and we’re really eager to partner with them in doing that.”
In a <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wLVMV9z_HGanmpN-9b84Iket-d5VM9VT/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a> issued by the AAUP, titled “Resolution of Censure,” the following criticism was stated of Shafik and her view of the pro-Palestine protests:
“President Shafik falsely claimed that the students who were arrested for protesting on April 18 posed a ‘clear and present danger to the substantial functioning of the University,’ when in fact they ‘were peaceful, offered no resistance whatsoever, and were saying what they wanted to say in a peaceful manner,’ according to the NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell. Her actions have endangered these students’ welfare, and her draconian and disproportionate punishments have endangered their futures.”
Lurie and the AAUP <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bnEhCa6mR7t_82QUf_qpGT7acudoOMIw/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">maintain</a> that Shafik’s termination is not what they desire in their latest press release:
“Unwarranted statements by members of Congress, including calls for President Shafik’s resignation, undermine the traditions of shared governance and academic freedom that have long ensured America’s educational greatness.”

According to her university profile, Callahan’s “research examines many different features of plants — from roots to flowers to seeds.”

Callahan participated in a Columbia University and Barnard College faculty protest titled “Rally to Support our Students and Reclaim our University” after student protesters took over the lawns of Columbia University. The <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/23/us-news/columbia-professors-slammed-over-grotesque-rally-that-publicly-backed-ivy-league-schools-anti-israel-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> reported, “Scores of professors and staff appeared on the school’s steps to support the right of the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’ to take over campus space and denounce the administration’s decision to have protesters arrested.” 

Callahan spoke at the walkout and compared the student protests to the Scopes Trial in 1924. During the Scopes Trial, an elementary school teacher was tried for teaching evolution at a school in Dayton, Tennessee. According to <a href="https://bwog.com/2024/04/student-workers-and-faculty-hold-walkouts-to-demand-amnesty-for-students-and-faculty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BWOG</a>, “Callahan called the historical event an ‘emblem of how wrong it is to treat teachers as pawns and scapegoats,’” and connected it to the response of Columbia University to the protestation of its pro-Palestine faculty and students. 

Callahan then addressed the crowd with certain demands:
 “We insist on science and factual evidence… on delineating the boundaries between certainty and uncertainty…on honest, open, and difficult discourse,” discourse she claimed were “pathways to a more humane world.” 
Callahan described the university’s response to the protests and encampment as “intemperate and regrettable.” She said her and her associates would “work tirelessly to undo that error.”

According to her faculty profile, Eisterer’s “research focuses on spatial histories of dissidence, feminist, queer, and trans* theory in architecture, as well as the labor of social and ecological movements.”

For the current Princeton spring semester, Eisterer is teaching a <a href="https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?courseid=017728&amp;term=1254" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course</a> titled “Queer Spaces in the World.” 

The course description asks a series of questions about architecture, and proposes gender theory as a way of interpreting architectural spaces: 

“How do sources determine the histories we can tell about architecture, urban space, and the agents that enliven it? How do we reconcile seeming absences and actual acts of erasure that stare back at us from the archive? How can feminist, gender, queer and trans* theory help us chart new avenues for writing critical architectural histories that are attentive to discourses of difference but also narratives of equity?" 

The course further seeks to discover groups and institutions of resistance towards dominant regimes and philosophies: 

“Which methods, beyond conventional modes of architectural inquiry, can we employ to uncover histories of groups and institutions that have actively resisted dominant regimes of power and their corresponding systems of knowledge?”

Eisterer contributes to an Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/queerspaceworkinggroup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">page</a> titled “queerspaceworkinggroup.” The page is described as a “transnational group of queer scholars &amp; architects 🏳️‍🌈 themed &amp; informal conversations about queer space(s).”

The page displays a focus on “queerifying” [sic] architectural spaces. (See image below from Instagram).

<a href="https://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/faculty-profiles/az/profile.html?xid=28078" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Diane Chen</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry &amp; Behavioral Sciences and the Department of Pediatrics at Northwestern University. She is also the founding psychologist of Lurie Children’s Gender &amp; Sex Development Program.
Campus Reform reports that Chen was in charge of a study that was criticized for having no control group. The study—”<a href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2206297" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psychosocial Functioning in Transgender Youth after 2 Years of Hormones</a>”—analyzed 315 participants, between the ages of 12 and 20, over the course of two years.
Participants received “gender-affirming hormones,” which are hormones to make their male or female bodies resemble bodies of the opposite sex. Chen claims, “During the study period, appearance congruence, positive affect, and life satisfaction increased, and depression and anxiety symptoms decreased.”
However, <a href="https://donoharmmedicine.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Do No Harm</a>—an organization of doctors, nurses, and health care professionals—questioned the study’s lack of a control group. In a report provided to <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/02/01/exclusive-medical-group-pokes-holes-fatally-flawed-study-claiming-prove-kids-benefit-transgender-hormones/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Signal</a>, Do No Harm calls the study “fatally flawed and borderline unscientific.” Stanley Goldfarb, board chair at Do No Harm, said:
“The absence of any control group raises the possibility that ongoing psychological counseling and therapy may explain the slight improvement in some parameters of the study.” 
Do No Harm’s report also notes:
“The researchers and four clinics featured in this study have a well-publicized history of radical activism and advocacy for the medical transition of children … Given this obvious bias, there is a high likelihood that study participants were steered towards responses that align with the activism promoted by these clinics.” 
<a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=21832" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a> reports that Chen is now part of another study, called “A Longitudinal Study of Gender Nonconformity in Prepubescent Children.” The study looks at the effects of the social transition of kids as young as six years old.
In March 2023, Chen—along with dozens of other professors—signed a “<a href="https://www.gamcstatement.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement Regarding Laws Restricting Gender Affirming Medical Care</a>.” The statement focuses on two key points:
“First, there is consensus in the field, and amongst these signatories, that gender affirming medical care is important and beneficial for many transgender youth. Second, we do not support laws restricting access to gender affirmative care.” 
The signatories conclude their <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=21908" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>:
“We write this letter to make our position on this crystal clear: The signatories below all believe, based on the current evidence, that gender affirmative care is an important part of many transgender adolescents’ overall care, and that states and health systems should not restrict access to that care.”

Northwestern University

Northwestern University is the home of a faculty and student center called the Institute for Sexual and Gender Minority Health and Wellbeing (ISGMH). According to the institute’s “History” <a href="https://isgmh.northwestern.edu/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">section</a>:
“[ISGMH] was founded in 2015 and is the first university-wide institute in the country focused exclusively on research to improve the health of the sexual and gender minority (SGM) community…it was founded with the support of the Office of the Provost, the Office of Research, and the Feinberg School of Medicine.”
In June 2024, Campus Reform <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/northwestern-student-govt-calls-segregated-pride-house-lgbt-identifying-students-/25690" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Northwestern University’s student body government called for LGBT-identifying students to have segregated housing on campus. The article links to a “Pride House” <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Re-QKyAz6kU1by5rroW9pbla4_UpcuXLSTMOi8-lMNk/edit?tab=t.0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resolution</a> that declares, among other things:
“Whereas, one of the goals of All Gender Housing is to address tensions often felt by queer and transgender students in finding a compatible roommate. All Gender Housing exists allows[sic] any two students to live together regardless of their gender identity—preventing the creation of an LGBTQ community in All-Gender Housing areas.”
Campus Reform said, that according to Northwestern University’s student government <a href="https://www.northwestern.edu/gsrc/education/dashboard-data.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">survey data</a>, about 25% of students identify as LGBTQ+. The university also <a href="https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2024/02/new-home-for-gender-and-sexuality-resource-center/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">features</a> a “Gender and Sexuality Resource Center” to support gender-confused students.
Northwestern University’s Pritzker School of Law is also in the process of defending students&#8217; so-called LGBTQI+ rights, including the right to legally change one’s name to match their gender identity. 
On October 15, The Daily Northwestern <a href="https://dailynorthwestern.com/2024/10/15/lateststories/northwestern-lgbtqi-rights-clinic-prepares-to-represent-clients-in-court/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>:
“Law students are working at the clinic this semester to help four clients through the process of changing their names…’ All of our clients identify as nonbinary or transgender, and thus are seeking to change their names so that their legal name reflects better who they are,’ said Pritzker Prof. Kara Ingelhart, the clinic’s director.”
The source also said a 711 license is required for students who want to represent a client this way and are only “allowed to practice under a licensed attorney.” Campus Reform also <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/-northwestern-law-students-working-changing-legal-names-transgender-identifying-people/26613" target="_blank" rel="noopener">covered</a> this story, highlighting that the purpose of this project was “the universal right of gender-self-determination” and the “transformative justice principles as necessary alternatives to the criminal punishment system.”

In his book, The Hoax of the 20th-Century, Butz <a href="https://archive.org/details/HoaxOfTheTwentiethCentury/page/n231/mode/2up?q=23">claims</a> that there is no proof of any intent by the Nazis to exterminate Europe’s Jews. Butz <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Arthur_Butz">states</a>,

In an op-ed for the Daily Northwestern, he <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110608193504/http://www.codoh.com/butz/di/intro.html">claimed</a> that the Jews that did perish in the camps died from typhus, and there was no concerted effort by the Nazis to exterminate Jews. In the same article, Butz claimed that the Nuremberg Trials were needed to establish the “legend” of the holocaust, due to there being no physical proof of an extermination campaign by the Germans.

In a 1996 paper, Butz openly <a href="https://codoh.com/library/document/jewish-testimonies-in-the-postwar-era/en/">attacked</a> Holocaust victims, accusing them of “malicious lying,” and greatly exaggerating atrocities suffered by their families:

In an interview with an Iranian news station, Butz stated that <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2006-02-04-0602040129-story.html">he agreed</a> with Iranian Prime Minister Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that the Holocaust was a “myth.” He went on to state that the Holocaust was a “deliberately conceived falsehood” in order to create the state of Israel and congratulated the Prime Minister for denying its existence:

“I congratulate him on becoming the first head of state to speak out clearly on [the Holocaust] and regret only that it was not a Western head of state”

Despite his beliefs, Northwestern University <a href="https://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2006/02/bienen.html">continues</a> to employ Butz. University President Henry S. Bienen stated that while his opinions are “reprehensible,” no action can be taken as Butz’s views are personal and expressed outside of the classroom.

<a href="https://www.sociology.northwestern.edu/people/faculty/core/laura-beth-nielsen.html">Dr. Laura Beth Nielsen</a> is a Professor of Sociology at Northwestern University. She wrote in an op-ed that there are good arguments for restricting free speech rights. She said that racist hate speech has been linked to higher rates of smoking and obesity, for example. Supporting her argument for restricting speech, she pointed out that recently the Supreme Court ruled that a music group ("The Slants", a band made up of Asian-Americans) was allowed to use a derogatory name as their band name, although she did not point out the band was using the name to mock people who use the name in a derogatory fashion.

Renberg Chair of Social Justice in Reporting at Northwestern University. His university biography details his role as having an “emphasis on issues relevant to the LGBTQ community.” 

Professor Thrasher is on record defending the riots and looting that occurred in response to George Floyd's death.

“Many of us have been together at Occupy Wall Street, and at Black Lives Matter protests, and against that fascist in the White House … I am so proud, so proud, of NYU’s chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voices for Peace for supporting the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against the apartheid state government in Israel.”

Upon visiting several “Liberation Zones”, Thrasher wrote:
“Over the previous few days, I had gone to bed or woken up to dark, war-like scenes of unspeakable violence waged by police and state troopers who were often wielding machine guns, lobbing chemical weapons, and shooting rubber-coated bullets. Though some of the police raids happened in daylight, most have happened at night, with projectile-gun blasts and flash bangs lighting up sinister spectacles of utter chaos.”

The <a href="https://www.nm.org/conditions-and-care-areas/gender-pathways-program" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gender Pathways Program</a> is “committed to providing gender-affirming care to transgender and gender nonbinary patients.” A 2020 <a href="https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2020/06/gender-pathways-program-makes-trans-health-care-a-priority/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northwestern Now</a> article says the program “offers feminizing and masculinizing facial, top and bottom surgeries, as well as connections for hormone therapy, primary care, preventative health screenings and laser hair removal.”

Dr. Jordan was the lead author of a study released in September 2022, titled <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/article-abstract/2796426?resultClick=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Top Surgery and Chest Dysphoria Among Transmasculine and Nonbinary Adolescents and Young Adults.”</a> The study sought to answer the question: “Does gender-affirming top surgery improve chest dysphoria, gender congruence, and body image in transmasculine and nonbinary adolescents and young adults?”

The participants in the study ranged in age from 13 to 24, with an average age of 18. In a <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-surgery-transgender-teens-northwestern-study-20220926-2yrapzgitzatla6cnzv2xqhzvm-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chicago Tribune</a> article about the study, Dr. Jordan states:
“Our findings are that top surgery (to remove the breasts) benefits these teenagers and young adults.”
She adds that she does not believe all teens should be required to delay these life-altering surgeries until age 18:
“If you had any other medical conditions where you said, ‘I’m not going to treat your diabetes or high blood pressure until you’re 18’ or ‘I’m going to hold off on treating you for years,’ it’s not ethical to withhold care for that long.” 
In a <a href="https://news.nm.org/study-top-surgery-significantly-improves-quality-of-life-in-transmasculine-and-nonbinary-teens-and-young-adults/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northwestern Medicine press release</a>, Dr. Jordan states:
“Patients who choose gender-affirming top surgery feel better about their bodies, and it enhances their quality of life. Our hope is that this study will now be used as a resource for teens, young adults and for families who want to learn more about surgical transition options.” 
Dr. Jordan’s <a href="https://northwesternplasticsurgery.com/chicago-plastic-surgery/sumanas-jordan-md/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">biography</a> states that she “welcomes all gender identities and offers top surgery, vaginoplasty, and phalloplasty for transgender and non-binary individuals.”

Billard goes by ‘TJ’ and uses ‘they/them’ and ‘he/him’ pronouns. He is the founding executive director of the <a href="https://www.appliedtransstudies.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Applied Transgender Studies</a> in Chicago and editor of the Center’s flagship journal, the <a href="https://bulletin.appliedtransstudies.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies.</a>

Professor Billard has been outspoken against legislation preventing children from receiving hormones and sex reassingment surgeries. After Arkansas became the first state to prohibit physicians from providing hormone treatments, puberty blockers, or surgeries to minors, Billard was quoted in a <a href="https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2021/04/whats-the-impact-on-transgender-youth-of-arkansas-ban-and-other-legislation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northwestern Now</a> article:
“What is happening in Arkansas is merely the latest instance of conservatives weaponizing health misinformation against transgender communities to justify discrimination. Arkansas legislators called their bill the Save Adolescents from Experimentation Act, but the fact is gender-affirming care for transgender youth is safe and necessary.” 
He continues:
“And outlawing that care will cost trans lives. Doctors know this. Trans people know this. Arkansas legislators know this. But conservatives exploit public unawareness of the intricacies of transgender medical care, peddle misinformation and then use that misinformation to justify prejudicial legislation.” 
After Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court, Billard was asked his thoughts on the <a href="https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2022/06/virtual-press-conference-on-roe-v-wade-reversal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">implications of the ruling</a> for issues such as trans rights, same-sex marriage and contraception access. He stated:
“When we look across the landscape of the conservative movement’s legislative efforts in different states, it’s part of a general program of attacking bodily autonomy and private rights to necessary health care.”

In 2022, Bowen participated in a discussion on how to invite “transgender” patients into medical communities. In a <a href="https://www.urologytimes.com/view/lugpa-speaker-on-welcoming-gender-diverse-patients-in-the-urology-practice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">three-minute recap</a>, Bowen declared:
“My talk was really focused on tips and tricks for welcoming any gender-diverse patient into your practice, [and] how to make them have a great healthcare experience—both in the general clinic sense and also for any urologic complaint they come in with—and really outside of the bottom surgery aspect that we talk about so frequently.”
“Bottom surgery” refers to a biological male having his penis reconstructed into a “vagina.”

<a href="https://psychology.northwestern.edu/people/faculty/core/profiles/sylvia-perry.html">Sylvia Perry</a> is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Northwestern University. 

She also serves as the Principle Investigator for the<a href="http://www.sciplab.com/people" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Social Cognition and Intergroup Processes</a> (SCIP) Laboratory, which studies the spread of inherent, racial bias in children, parents, and communities. 

Perry encourages parents to discuss race, police brutality, and white privilege with their children. During an interview with the campus's news site <a href="https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2022/02/experts-on-black-history-month/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northwestern Now</a>, Perry decries parents who take a “passive approach” in talking about race. She alleges that children absorb society's racial stances and even toddlers can understand race: 

“If your child can have a conversation with you, they are old enough to start having conversations about race. As early as preschool, children start showing racial group favoritism.” 

In a study titled, “<a href="https://psyarxiv.com/3xdg8/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Initial Evidence that Parent-Child Conversations about Race Reduce Racial Biases Among White US Children</a>,” Perry accuses children of harboring innate “pro-white/anti-black” biases. Dr. Perry concludes that parents can help their children become “race-conscious” by eschewing “color-blind” stances and fostering uncomfortable discussions about racism.  

Another study—“<a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57b346ade4fcb5df8e55a622/t/5fd970632ef1c91c7feb6ac2/1608085603904/George+et+al.+Child+Development+LOI.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Raising an Anti-Racist Child: Black Americans Parents’ Perceptions of and Recommendations for White Parents</a>,”—alleges racial conversations are needed to foster “anti-racism” within children successfully. 

In his paper, “<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9545064/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Racial Socialization Messages in White Parents’ Discussions of Current Events Involving Racism</a>,” Perry praises the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement for raising white Americans' consciousness about white privilege, police brutality, and systemic racism. 

While acknowledging that BLM is useful in facilitating “color-conscious conversations,” Dr. Perry is still dismayed by the majority of white Americans whom she claims still resist the idea they benefit from their race. She concludes that researchers must determine how to better direct white people to discuss the aforementioned issues—namely whiteness—so parents are equipped to discuss their racial privilege.

She is also the founding psychologist of Lurie Children’s Gender &amp; Sex Development Program.

Campus Reform reports that Chen was in charge of a study that was criticized for having no control group. The study—”<a href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2206297" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psychosocial Functioning in Transgender Youth after 2 Years of Hormones</a>”—analyzed 315 participants, between the ages of 12 and 20, over the course of two years.

Participants received “gender-affirming hormones,” which are hormones to make their male or female bodies resemble bodies of the opposite sex. Chen claims, “During the study period, appearance congruence, positive affect, and life satisfaction increased, and depression and anxiety symptoms decreased.”

However, <a href="https://donoharmmedicine.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Do No Harm</a>—an organization of doctors, nurses, and health care professionals—questioned the study’s lack of a control group. In a report provided to <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/02/01/exclusive-medical-group-pokes-holes-fatally-flawed-study-claiming-prove-kids-benefit-transgender-hormones/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Signal</a>, Do No Harm calls the study “fatally flawed and borderline unscientific.” Stanley Goldfarb, board chair at Do No Harm, said:
“The absence of any control group raises the possibility that ongoing psychological counseling and therapy may explain the slight improvement in some parameters of the study.” 
Do No Harm’s report also notes:
“The researchers and four clinics featured in this study have a well-publicized history of radical activism and advocacy for the medical transition of children … Given this obvious bias, there is a high likelihood that study participants were steered towards responses that align with the activism promoted by these clinics.” 
<a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=21832" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a> reports that Chen is now part of another study, called “A Longitudinal Study of Gender Nonconformity in Prepubescent Children.” The study looks at the effects of the social transition of kids as young as six years old.

In March 2023, Chen—along with dozens of other professors—signed a “<a href="https://www.gamcstatement.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement Regarding Laws Restricting Gender Affirming Medical Care</a>.” The statement focuses on two key points:

“It will be concerned with explaining the apparent racial discrepancies and racial injustices of western modernity (e.g. democracies combined with racism, liberalism combined with imperialism) and how those racial discrepancies and racial injustices inform, shape and define western societies like the United States.” 
Hesse created a resource called “<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/nyc-public-school-asks-parents-to-reflect-on-their-whiteness" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The 8 White Identities</a>.” East Side Community School in Manhattan came under fire after they gave “The 8 White Identities” to every parent “as part of a series of materials meant for reflection” and as “food for thought.”

Hesse’s curriculum claims,
“There is a regime of whiteness, and there are action-oriented white identities. People who identify with whiteness are one of these. It’s about time we build an ethnography of whiteness, since white people have been the ones writing about and governing Others.” 
Hesse’s “white identities” range from “White Supremacist” to “White Abolitionist:”

Hesse was <a href="https://dailynorthwestern.com/2023/05/22/campus/black-studies-is-inclusivity-and-community-black-to-front-symposium-celebrates-department-renaming/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in a May 2023 symposium</a> called “Black to Front.” The event was held to celebrate the Department of African American Studies being renamed to Black Studies. At the event, Hesse discussed his views on the relationships between black studies and the world, saying:
“Black Studies doesn’t just see democracy. It sees democracy and white supremacy. The only democracy we’ve ever known in Western society is a white democracy. Black studies doesn’t just see Western civilization. It sees as the conditions of Western civilization, Western barbarism. So you see, with that angle of vision, how the world seems to tilt almost on its axis.”

In March 2023, Dr. Janssen—along with dozens of other professors—signed a “<a href="https://www.gamcstatement.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement Regarding Laws Restricting Gender Affirming Medical Care</a>.” The statement focuses on two key points:
“First, there is consensus in the field, and amongst these signatories, that gender affirming medical care is important and beneficial for many transgender youth. Second, we do not support laws restricting access to gender affirmative care.” 
The signatories conclude their <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=21908" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>:
“We write this letter to make our position on this crystal clear: The signatories below all believe, based on the current evidence, that gender affirmative care is an important part of many transgender adolescents’ overall care, and that states and health systems should not restrict access to that care.”

WPATH has a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement that reads, in part:
“WPATH affirms its commitment to diversity and inclusion as principles that enrich individuals, and society as a whole. We strive to learn from diverse perspectives, and through inclusivity, we pay homage to the fundamental principles of dignity, equality, equity, justice, and fairness.” 
In addition:
“WPATH encourages our members to champion these principles as well, and to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in their work, workplaces, and everyday lives.” 
Dr. Janssen is outspoken about his political beliefs on Twitter, where he posted a letter he wrote to his daughters after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

In March 2023, Coyne—along with <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=21908" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dozens of other professors</a>—signed a “<a href="https://www.gamcstatement.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement Regarding Laws Restricting Gender Affirming Medical Care</a>.” The full statement can be seen below:
We are clinicians and researchers who work with and study transgender and gender diverse youth. Many of us are involved in debates about how best to care for transgender and gender diverse youth – debates about to whom, when, and how gender affirming medical care might best be provided.  Discussion of some of these debates has moved into the public sphere. We hold varying perspectives on these issues and sometimes disagree.
However, often lost in the public version of these debates is our strong agreement about two central points that we wish to highlight here. First, there is consensus in the field, and amongst these signatories, that gender affirming medical care is important and beneficial for many transgender youth. Second, we do not support laws restricting access to gender affirmative care. As with all medical care, we believe an adolescent’s health care, including their access to gender affirming medical care, should be determined by the youth along with their families and health care teams. 
Recently, our internal debate and media reports of our debate concerning how best to care for transgender youth have been cited to support laws banning gender affirmative medical care for minors, punishing doctors who provide this care, or otherwise limiting this care. We write this letter to make our position on this crystal clear: The signatories below all believe, based on the current evidence, that gender affirmative medical care is an important part of many transgender adolescents’ overall care, and that states and health systems should not restrict access to that care.
We will continue to debate aspects of gender affirming care, just as clinicians and researchers in all areas of medicine debate aspects of care. We will continue to update our views as new data and more evidence are accrued. However, we request that politicians and others stop using our debates to justify bans of gender affirmative care. We wish to state for the public record, we do not support these efforts.

<a href="https://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/faculty-profiles/az/profile.html?xid=16112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Katie Watson</a> is an Associate Professor of Medical Education, Medical Social Science, and Obstetrics and Gynecology at Northwestern University. According to Watson’s university profile, she is well known for her “scholarship in abortion ethics, practice, and law.”

Watson wrote a June 2023 opinion piece for the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230624112626/https://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outlook/article/feminist-family-values-roe-wade-18168285.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Houston Chronicle</a> titled, “One year post-roe, it’s time for feminist ‘family values.’” She asserts, “The Supreme Court was stunningly wrong to reverse Roe v. Wade, and historians will judge it harshly.” However, she goes on to say that she does not wish for the return of Roe v. Wade, rather:
“I want something better: reproductive justice legislation and state constitutional amendments that protect the right to not have children, the right to have children, the right to parent the children we have and help doing all of the above when we need it.” 
Throughout the article, Watson calls for a “fresh set of family values.” She believes family values have long been the “code for a decrepit view that women were born to be slaves to biology, babies and men.” Instead, “Valuing women’s brains and hearts more than their uteruses means respecting when they don’t want to have a baby - now, again or ever - and also respecting when they do.”

Watson also believes the term “mothering” no longer solely applies to women, saying:
“...’Mothering’ can be understood as gender-neutral: Some women don’t give their children the nurturing they need, and many men and nonbinary people do. ‘Mothering’ is shorthand for the investment in children women have historically made, but now is open to anyone.” 
In July 2023, Watson co-authored an article for <a href="https://www.statnews.com/2023/07/28/doctors-providing-abortion-referral-information-states/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">STAT News</a> titled, “Doctors in states that ban abortion can still refer patients elsewhere. Why are so few doing that?” Watson and her co-authors claim “all-options pregnancy counseling has been the governing standard of care for decades” and doctors have an “ethical imperative” to provide abortion information to their patients.
“Doctors’ silence violates their central ethical obligations to respect patients’ autonomy, advance justice, and promote beneficence.” 
The authors encourage doctors to break the law if necessary, quoting the American Medical Association’s Code of Ethics’ preamble that instructs, “In exceptional circumstances of unjust laws, ethical responsibilities should supersede legal duties.” They allege:
“When doctors prioritize their own interests in avoiding potential legal risks above the health of their patients, they negate their core ethical and professional obligations to their patients.” 
They conclude by calling on professional organizations within the healthcare field to “adopt guidelines requiring the sharing of abortion information. They should specify, at a minimum, that clinicians share the names of trusted websites where patients can find accurate information about abortion options, and counsel their patients on data privacy.”

<a href="https://www.qatar.northwestern.edu/directory/profiles/al-hroub-khaled.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Khaled AL-Hroub</a> is a professor in residence at Northwestern University’s overseas campus in Qatar. According to his university profile, his focus is “Middle Eastern studies and politics with particular interest on Islam and politics, Arab-Israeli conflict and Arab media studies.”

On October 16, 2023, Hroub was a guest on the Boston NPR (WBUR) program “On Point.” During the interview, Hroub “expressed doubt that women and children had been killed by Hamas” during the terror group’s attack on Israel. WBUR <a href="https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2023/10/16/hamas-a-history-lesson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pulled the program from national distribution</a> and released a statement that read, in part:
“This episode of On Point did not meet our editorial standards. It is paramount to acknowledge when our work falls short of our standards. … The program was live and as it progressed, Professor Hroub expressed doubt that women and children had been killed by Hamas in its October 7 attack on Israel.”
“On Point Host Meghna Chakrabarti countered with statements of fact to correct the record. But that does not negate the impact of hearing Professor Hroub’s statements. On Point strives to contribute thoughtfully to the public discourse, and in an environment where misinformation is both rampant and dangerous, we felt compelled to pull this hour of our programming from national distribution after its initial broadcast.” 
During the program, Hroub claimed he had not seen any “credible” reporting that Hamas terrorists had killed civilians in their beds. He also stated, “We have read of course, you know, the beheading of 40 babies and raping women and all of that, and of course, when you hear these things, I myself, I was shocked and then it turned out to be kind of fabricated and all of that.”

Hroub believes Israeli media feeds “misinformation” to the public and defended his comments to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/npr-affiliate-pulls-show-after-guest-doubted-hamas-killed-women-children-during-terror-attacks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News Digital</a>:
“I said that the source of all the stories about Hamas beheading 40 babies and raping women were mostly Israeli. These stories proved to be all lies, baseless and fabricated. By the same token, all the figures about the dead on the Israeli side come from Israeli sources, including the breakdown of numbers between soldiers and civilians. There is no third and/or neutral party to verify these news and figures, and names of the killed. I’m not defending Hamas here, I’m asking for verified information.” 
Northwestern University has tried to distance itself from Hroub’s comments and released the following <a href="https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2023/10/university-statement-on-professor-khaled-al-hroubs-interview-with-wbur/?fj=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>:
“While Northwestern firmly supports academic freedom and freedom of expression, we condemn any attempt to minimize or misrepresent the horrific killing of Israeli civilians by Hamas on Oct. 7. Khaled AL-Hroub’s opinions are his own. Individual faculty members do not represent the views or beliefs of the University.”

<a href="https://communication.northwestern.edu/faculty/moya-bailey.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Moya Bailey</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Studies at Northwestern University. Bailey’s work “focuses on marginalized groups’ use of digital media to promote social justice, and she is interested in how race, gender, and sexuality are represented in media and medicine.”

Bailey authored a book titled “<a href="https://www.transformisogynoir.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Misogynoir Transformed</a>,” which highlights “black women’s digital resistance to anti-black misogyny on YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, and other platforms.” The term “misogynoir” was coined by Bailey and added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary in 2023. She defines the term as “the anti-black, racist misogyny that black women—and people perceived as black women—experience.”

As an <a href="https://magazine.northwestern.edu/voices/moya-bailey-misogynoir-racism-misogyny-merriam-webster-digital-apothecary/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">example of “misogynoir,”</a> Bailey cites the maternal morbidity rates for black women. She attributes the higher negative health outcomes to “misogynoir,” saying, “There’s no other explanation except for the particular combination of anti-black racism and misogyny that’s impacting their birthing experiences.”

Bailey is the director and founder of the <a href="https://www.digitalapothecary.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Digital Apothecary lab</a>, “a hybrid digital and physical lab dedicated to combining ancient and new technologies in an effort to produce processes and projects that aid those most marginalized in society.”

One of the <a href="https://www.digitalapothecary.org/projects" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lab’s projects</a> “Ethical Internet?” is described by Bailey:
“While there can be no ethical engagement with the internet under capitalism, I do think there is a less harmful path for our web wandering to take, one that my students and I have begun to explore in a course of the same name.” 
Bailey wrote an article on “ethical internet” for <a href="https://just-tech.ssrc.org/articles/an-ethical-internet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Just Tech</a> in which she refers to the internet as a “<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/northwestern-lab-envisions-ethical-internet-without-capitalism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">military-derived technology</a>.” She recounts her family getting the internet for the first time when she was in fifth grade.
“Little did I know that this access was afforded to me because of my Western, class, and educational privilege. I did not know about the child labor of girls who looked like me and who would also have been in the fifth grade, mining for minerals that made my internet connection possible in what we now recognize as the Democratic Republic of the Congo.” 
Bailey claims the internet “relies on oppression to exist” and says she seeks answers to the following questions:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Can this military-derived, exploitatively built, capitalistically driven, entity of the internet be reconfigured from the ground up in a way that doesn’t exploit human or natural resources?”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Can the internet be just?”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Can we have an ethical internet?”</li>
</ul>
One of her potential solutions to these questions is “internet quiet hours, where the internet sleeps as we do, light pollution is eradicated, and electrical waves are reduced.” She concludes, “If we are willing to slow down and move with intention, then we may be able to develop sustainable and non-exploitative internet infrastructures that attend to the people and resources throughout the digital supply chain.”

Northwestern University is the home of a faculty and student center called the Institute for Sexual and Gender Minority Health and Wellbeing (ISGMH). According to the institute’s “History” <a href="https://isgmh.northwestern.edu/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">section</a>:

“[ISGMH] was founded in 2015 and is the first university-wide institute in the country focused exclusively on research to improve the health of the sexual and gender minority (SGM) community…it was founded with the support of the Office of the Provost, the Office of Research, and the Feinberg School of Medicine.”

In June 2024, Campus Reform <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/northwestern-student-govt-calls-segregated-pride-house-lgbt-identifying-students-/25690" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Northwestern University’s student body government called for LGBT-identifying students to have segregated housing on campus. The article links to a “Pride House” <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Re-QKyAz6kU1by5rroW9pbla4_UpcuXLSTMOi8-lMNk/edit?tab=t.0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resolution</a> that declares, among other things:

“Whereas, one of the goals of All Gender Housing is to address tensions often felt by queer and transgender students in finding a compatible roommate. All Gender Housing exists allows[sic] any two students to live together regardless of their gender identity—preventing the creation of an LGBTQ community in All-Gender Housing areas.”

Campus Reform said, that according to Northwestern University’s student government <a href="https://www.northwestern.edu/gsrc/education/dashboard-data.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">survey data</a>, about 25% of students identify as LGBTQ+. The university also <a href="https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2024/02/new-home-for-gender-and-sexuality-resource-center/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">features</a> a “Gender and Sexuality Resource Center” to support gender-confused students.

Northwestern University’s Pritzker School of Law is also in the process of defending students' so-called LGBTQI+ rights, including the right to legally change one’s name to match their gender identity. 

On October 15, The Daily Northwestern <a href="https://dailynorthwestern.com/2024/10/15/lateststories/northwestern-lgbtqi-rights-clinic-prepares-to-represent-clients-in-court/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>:

“Law students are working at the clinic this semester to help four clients through the process of changing their names…’ All of our clients identify as nonbinary or transgender, and thus are seeking to change their names so that their legal name reflects better who they are,’ said Pritzker Prof. Kara Ingelhart, the clinic’s director.”

The source also said a 711 license is required for students who want to represent a client this way and are only “allowed to practice under a licensed attorney.” Campus Reform also <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/-northwestern-law-students-working-changing-legal-names-transgender-identifying-people/26613" target="_blank" rel="noopener">covered</a> this story, highlighting that the purpose of this project was “the universal right of gender-self-determination” and the “transformative justice principles as necessary alternatives to the criminal punishment system.”

<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/medical-school-professor-says-parents-must-implement-gender-ideology-for-babies-starts-birth?dicbo=v2-txjMGKs">Fox News</a>, reports that, during an interview with BronxNet in 2021, Roth promoted the idea that “parents must start including gender ideology in their families before a baby is born.” This happens to be her “favorite topic” to discuss, she says (see video below):
<iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AhxOjEr3T68" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&#8220;Like, this is a normal thing. And we have to understand that gender is on a spectrum. There&#8217;s not just men and women. Sometimes [a child&#8217;s gender identity] matches the chromosomes or the genitals that they were born with, but sometimes it doesn&#8217;t.&#8221;
Roth suggested that parents allow their children to wear clothing of the opposite gender if they desire to do so: 
&#8220;If your child was assigned male at birth and one day they tell you, ‘I want to wear [a] pink sparkly dress. Instead of saying what a lot of people say, ’Boys don&#8217;t wear dresses, girls do.&#8217; How about you know, say something like, ‘Tell me more about why you want to wear a dress today.’&#8221;
She further commented about parents “having open conversations” with their children about their gender: 
&#8220;You know be open and curious and just start the conversation. I really think having open conversations like that and just asking questions allows your child to share a little bit about themselves. And it shows that you support them, and it gives them that space to explore who they are.&#8221;
Roth said that she became interested in transgender studies and an advocate for transgender people when her brother “transitioned” to a “female.” Roth’s Twitter profile bio, which has been deleted, included her pronouns and the phrase “Twin‍♀️”,  the latter referring to her brother. 
According to Fox News, “Dr. Roth serves as co-chair of the LGBTQ Health and Well-Being Special Interest Group of the Academic Pediatric Association, where she is working to bring standardized training to future pediatricians.”

"You know be open and curious and just start the conversation. I really think having open conversations like that and just asking questions allows your child to share a little bit about themselves. And it shows that you support them, and it gives them that space to explore who they are."
Roth said that she became interested in transgender studies and an advocate for transgender people when her brother “transitioned” to a “female.” Roth’s Twitter profile bio, which has been deleted, included her pronouns and the phrase “Twin‍♀️”,  the latter referring to her brother. 

According to Fox News, “Dr. Roth serves as co-chair of the LGBTQ Health and Well-Being Special Interest Group of the Academic Pediatric Association, where she is working to bring standardized training to future pediatricians.”

<a href="https://english.arizona.edu/person/marcia-klotz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marcia Klotz</a> is an Assistant Professor in Gender and Women’s Studies at the University of Arizona. Her faculty profile says she teaches “a wide variety of courses, including courses in American and British literature, film, critical theory, sexuality studies and cultural studies.” Klotz’s research interests encompass “queer theory,” “Marxist theory” and “the relationship between colonialism and modern racism.”
For the Spring 2024 semester, Klotz is scheduled to teach “Special Topics in Women’s Studies” and “Introduction to LGBTQ and Queer of Color Texts.” The latter <a href="https://gws.arizona.edu/course/englgws-351a-introduction-lgbtq-and-queer-color-texts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course description</a> simply states, “Survey with emphasis on writers in their literary and historical contexts.

In 2014, when Klotz taught courses at Portland State University, her apparent obsession with pornography resulted in a lawsuit against the college. <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/portland-state-sued-university-bdsm-model_n_5283337" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Huffington Post reported</a>, “[A former student] alleges then-assistant professor [Klotz] persuaded her into discussing personal issues about her past sexual abuse when she took Klotz’s course ‘The Erotics of Power.’”
Huffington Post continued, “The university concede[d] in a <a href="https://media.oregonlive.com/education_impact/other/PSUanswer.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">court filing</a> that Klotz exchanged more than 200 emails with [the former student] from 2009-2012, many of which about sexual topics…”

University of Arizona Professor Harris Kornstein — with a drag persona named Lil’ Miss Hot Mess — expanded his child sex education advocacy into the realm of antisemitism when he led children to chant “Free Palestine” during a “queer storytime” event.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Amherst, MA - Valley Families for Palestine puts on ‘Queer Storytime for Palestine’ in which toddlers are recorded chanting “Free Palestine”.
The harsh reality? Members of the LGBTQ+ community are often murdered in Gaza and other Palestinian areas such as Ramallah. <a href="https://t.co/b8qwU4ycR3">pic.twitter.com/b8qwU4ycR3</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

By all news accounts, Kornstein appears unaware that his right to dress in drag would not be protected in most Middle Eastern territories. In particular, queer movements and people are <a href="https://reason.com/2023/10/27/the-contradictions-of-queers-for-palestine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">persecuted</a> — even to the point of <a href="https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-720308" target="_blank" rel="noopener">death</a> — in Palestine, and same-sex relationships are <a href="https://www.humandignitytrust.org/country-profile/palestine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outlawed</a> in Gaza. 

<a href="https://azfreenews.com/2024/04/university-of-arizona-drag-queen-professor-pushes-children-to-support-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AZ Free News</a> stated, “Kornstein encouraged a crowd of children to chant ‘Free Palestine!’ as a response to: ‘If you’re a drag queen and you know it’ … Palestinians don’t tolerate LGBTQ+ individuals, especially Hamas. Anyone involved in those lifestyles in the area risks persecution and violence at minimum, even death.”

<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/drag-queen-orders-children-chant-free-palestine-during-queer-story-hour-massachusetts-arts-center" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News said</a>, “The event included ‘dancing, celebrating Palestine culture, learning about queer heroes doing arts and crafts’ … Event profits were donated to alQaws, a Palestinian organization ‘working for queer liberation’ … The event and video sparked harsh backlash online, with many pointing out that LGBTQ people are not usually treated with respect in Gaza or other Palestinian areas.”

Kornstein posted about the event on his <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lilmisshotmess/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> account.

Kornstein has written children's storybooks about drag queens. One of these books (published in 2020) is titled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hips-Drag-Queen-Go-Swish-ebook/dp/B07XDNJB14" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish.”</a> The book’s description states:
“Playing off "The Wheels on the Bus," this nursery rhyme book from a founder of Drag Queen Story Hour is a fun, freewheeling celebration of being your most fabulous self.
"The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish encourages readers to boldly be exactly who they are. Written by a founding member of the nationally recognized Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH), this playful picture book offers a quirky twist on a classic nursery rhyme by illustrating all of the ways to "work it". The story plays off "The Wheels on the Bus" as it follows a drag queen who performs her routine in front of an awestruck audience. A fun frenzy of fierceness, this book will appeal to readers of all ages.”

“Strike a pose. Blow a kiss. Mouth the words. A fun, sing-along book with a drag twist that encourage kids to embrace all the playfulness of drag culture written by a founding member of Drag Queen Story Hour."
“If you’re a drag queen and you know it, let it show by winking, shaking your bum, laughing real big, twirling around, and more! Join a cast of fabulous drag queens as you sing along to the tune of “If You’re Happy and You Know It” in this playful celebration of expressing your brightest and boldest self.

In 2020, Kornstein and Professor Harper Keenan of the University of British Columbia wrote an article titled, <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/03626784.2020.1864621">“Drag pedagogy: The playful practice of queer imagination in early childhood.”</a> 

Kornstein and Keenan claim that, “To the unimaginative adult (which – sigh – describes most of us), it might seem that the world of drag and the world of children are impossibly distant from one another.”  

The authors also “propose that DQSH [Drag Queen Story Hour] offers a particular kind of queer framework – what we call drag pedagogy – for teaching and learning that extends beyond traditional approaches to LGBT curricular inclusion.”

Concerning traditional gender roles and sexuality, the authors state their opposition in the following manner:
“In the USA, for example, many people learn that the most valued boy will be white, engage in rough-and-tumble play with other boys that will toughen him up and straighten him out, allowing him to mature into a man who wears a suit and tie, makes a lot of money, enters into a sexually monogamous marriage with a woman, buys a home, and has enough but not too many children. In other words, a script that may begin with gender shapes how individuals are taught to understand their expected roles in society in ways that extend far beyond gender alone. Almost no one can fully conform to the script of gender all of the time.”
The authors think that “Drag Queen Story Hour” (DQSH) “publicly positions its impact in “help[ing] children develop empathy, learn about gender diversity and difference, and tap into their own creativity.”

They also expounded on what they claim is the definition of a drag queen, along with their hopes for the future of DQSH.
 “As an art form, drag is all about bending and breaking the rules, and so its aims are totally different from a normative classroom. When a drag queen enters a (class)room, she [sic] generally intends to draw attention to herself – whether through shock, admiration, or envy of her embodied performance. There is a premium on standing out, on artfully desecrating the sacred.”
In writing the article, the authors wrote that they “are guided by the following question: what might Drag Queen Story Hour offer educators as a way of bringing queer ways of knowing and being into the the education of young children?”

<a href="https://www.geo.arizona.edu/person/jessica-kapp">Dr. Jess Kapp</a> is a lecturer at the University of Arizona. She wrote a blog post called "The Rape of America" where she compared the election of Donald Trump to rape. "He whispers promises of protection with crossed fingers behind his back, and while we prepare to give him a chance, turning our heads from his proven history of lies, he will attack us bareback and ride us until we tear... And just when we think it is going to let up, he will escalate the assault to gang rape.”

Socialism
According to the New Criterion, Chomsky frequently <a href="https://newcriterion.com/issues/2003/5/the-hypocrisy-of-noam-chomsky">praised</a> the left-wing government of the Khmer Rouge and has publically disputed the credibility and existence of the Cambodian Genocide. Committed by the Khmer Rouge and its dictatorial head Pol Pot, it is <a href="https://cla.umn.edu/chgs/holocaust-genocide-education/resource-guides/cambodia#:~:text=Lasting%20for%20four%20years%20(between,following%20the%20Cambodian%20Civil%20War.">estimated</a> that at least 1.5 and 3 million people died between 1976 and 1979. Despite <a href="https://gsp.yale.edu/case-studies/cambodian-genocide-program">detailed reports</a> of starvation and systematic executions, Chomsky denied that any widespread killings had taken place and accused reporters of repeating right-wing propaganda and sensationalizing their stories. Chomsky attributes the deaths to US imperialism and executions of subversive elements to the communist government

&nbsp;
Antisemitism
Chomsky publically defends individuals who engage in Holocaust denial. As documented in Robert F. Barskey’s book, “Noam Chomsky: A Life of Dissent,” Chomsky was a <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=RKUbyYPG4mcC&amp;pg=PA180&amp;lpg=PA180&amp;dq=Dr.+Faurisson+has+served+as+a+respected+professor+of+twentieth-century+French+literature+and+document+criticism+for+over+four+years+at+the+University+of+Lyon+2+in+France.+Since+1974+he+has+been+conducting+extensive+independent+historical+research+into+the+%22Holocaust%22+question.+Since+he+began+making+his+findings+public,+Professor+Faurisson+has+been+subject+to+a+vicious+campaign+of+harassment,+intimidation,+slander,+and+physical+violence+in+a+crude+attempt+to+silence+him.+Fearful+officials+have+even+tried+to+stop+him+from+further+research+by+denying+him+access+to+public+libraries+and+archives.&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=_HNm25wsQ8&amp;sig=ACfU3U1uUzJGs8SMymEsOD-QnXHD08zr8A&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiT1NHe6IPvAhXGpZ4KHfKoCqoQ6AEwAHoECAMQAw#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false">signatory</a> to a petition in defense of the academic freedom of prominent Holocaust denier Robert Faurisson. <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=_TIrDwAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA59&amp;lpg=PA59&amp;dq=noam+chomsky+I+see+no+anti-Semitic+implications+in+denial+of+the+existence+of+gas+chambers,+or+even+denial+of+the+Holocaust&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=-ebdpQUkkR&amp;sig=ACfU3U0wrRkRwN-uGLqdPow6gCDxXd56ug&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiS-bPWuOXuAhWEBKYKHY_pAYI4FBDoATAAegQIBhAC#v=onepage&amp;q=noam%20chomsky%20I%20see%20no%20anti-Semitic%20implications%20in%20denial%20of%20the%20existence%20of%20gas%20chambers%2C%20or%20even%20denial%20of%20the%20Holocaust&amp;f=false">Stating</a> that he sees nothing antisemitic about Faurisson's work, Chomsky would even author the forward to Faurisson's next book.

September 11 Attacks
Speaking at MIT following the aftermath of the <a href="https://twitter.com/TPUSA/status/1171500948964818944">September 11 terrorist attacks</a> against the United States, Chomsky <a href="http://tech.mit.edu/V121/N52/52chomsky.52n.html">asserted</a> that 9/11 represented, “the guns having been directed the other way.” The Tech, MIT’s oldest newspaper, also reports Chomsky blaming US citizens for the attacks on 9/11, and that Osama bin Laden, leader of al Qaeda, might be innocent.
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1127 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-94-e1614388858415-1024x197.png" alt="" width="580" height="112" />
Chomsky also <a href="https://www.salon.com/2001/09/26/treason_2/">stated</a> that the US casualties were far less devastating than the effects of US foreign policy around the world. Chomsky <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/noam-chomsky/">stated</a> that the United States was attempting to murder “3-4 million people” in Afganistan and that the strike against Osama bin Laden was “some sort of silent genocide.”

In an article published in 2020, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/how-many-people-died-911-thousands-perishing-september-11-related-illnesses-1531058">Newsweek found that</a> “In New York, 2,750 people were killed, at the Pentagon 184 died, and a further 40 people were killed in Pennsylvania.” Newsweek also reported that 400 first responders were killed and that 18,000 survivors have been diagnosed with “9/11-related cancer.”

In the Fall 2021 semester, Ms. Chan will be teaching a Black Lives Matter(BLM)-inspired course that counts towards an English requirement for graduation.

Despite describing themselves as an inclusive, civil-rights organization, BLM embraces radically left-wing policies and tactics. Some of which include the following:

-<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/blm-pressures-democrats-breathe-act-prison-abolition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abolishing prisons</a>

- <a href="https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2020/07/17/black-lives-matter-activist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abolishing police forces</a>

According to a <a href="https://acleddata.com/2020/09/03/demonstrations-political-violence-in-america-new-data-for-summer-2020/" 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 that “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the most destructive 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>

The course is officially titled, “ENGL 101A: #SayTheirNames, a Black Lives Matter Literacy.” Students will be asked to study how American values are connected to “blackness,” and “whiteness.” Ms. Chan will then ask the following:

- How does social media allow for critiques of race, gender, sexuality, and violence?

- What does it mean to say their names as an elegy, an anthem, and a language to give space for talking about Black Lives?

The phrase “Say Their Names” is frequently chanted at BLM protests. The slogan is an attempt, by activists, to draw attention to black men and women who have allegedly been murdered by police. <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/08/28/sen-rand-paul-surrounded-as-diverse-group-of-cops-defends-from-mob/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senator Rand Paul was assaulted in August of 2020 by a mob yelling “[Brianna Taylor] Say Her Name!</a>”

Taylor, whose name is depicted in the banner of the course’s announcement, was reportedly dealing narcotics with her boyfriend–Kenneth Walker—at the time of her death. <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/09/the_truth_finally_emerges_about_breonna_taylors_death.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Walker opened fire on cops executing a search warrant on his apartment</a>, resulting in Breonna (who was present) dying in the crossfire.

Listed alongside the announcement banner are the course’s assigned texts. Those enrolled are required to read the following:

- Beyonce’s “Formation.” <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2016/02/08/2970258/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The song is a tribute to the Marxist, Black Panther Party</a>.

- Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright.” <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kendrick-lamar-alright-2016-10?op=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The song is frequently sung at BLM protests</a>.

- Ta-Nehisi Coates’s “A Letter to My Son.” Coates authors a hypothetical letter to inform his son that he will grow up in a country that will <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/07/tanehisi-coates-between-the-world-and-me/397619/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">oppress him because of his skin color</a>.

The course further promises to help students improve their writing skills by crafting a social narrative based on their “own social justice.” The class itself <a href="https://catalog.arizona.edu/policy/foundations-writing-requirement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fulfills a Foundations Writing Requirement</a> for the University, which students are required to complete in order to graduate.

“I’m one of those people who, from earliest memory, always felt feminineidentified even though I was assigned male at birth, even though everybody considered me to be a boy and raised me as such, and even though my body was apparently a typical male body.”
He has made some films including “<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0464189/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria” </a>(2005), and <a href="https://www.disclosurethemovie.com/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen” </a> (2020).

In a tweet posted on October 28, 2020, Stryker accused “the right” of “trans-baiting… [by] falsely claiming Biden supports sex changes for 8-year-olds” (see tweet below):

 “I draw from both scholarship and cultural theory to inform the stories that I tell in my book about gender-changing people over the last 400 years, through which I demonstrate how the social system of gender itself has changed over time,” Stryker said. “I build an argument for why, here in the late anthropocene, gender needs to change further still.”

<a href="https://profiles.arizona.edu/person/toomey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Russ B. Toomey</a> is a Professor of Family Studies and Human Development at the University of Arizona. Toomey was born a biological female who medically "transitioned" to male.

According to Toomey's faculty profile, "[She] teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on adolescent development, human sexuality and advanced graduate-level and applied statistics." Toomey’s lists of "expertise" includes but is not limited to:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">"Sexual orientation and gender diversity: identity development, minority stress, and resilience”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Intersections of multiple forms of minority stress” </li>

 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Adolescent/youth development”</li>
</ul>
In  2021, Toomey wrote an article titled, “<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/350641796_Advancing_Research_on_Minority_Stress_and_Resilience_in_Trans_Children_and_Adolescents_in_the_21st_Century" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advancing Research on Minority Stress and Resilience in Trans Children and Adolescents in the 21st Century.”</a> She claims that “Transgender and nonbinary children and adolescents bear a disproportionate level of poor health, and adverse developmental and academic outcomes compared to their cisgender peers.” She advocates “for explicit attention in minority stress models with gender-minority youth to the domains of (a) intrapersonal and interpersonal gender dysphoria, and (b) access and use of affirmative and comprehensive health care.”

In another 2021 article titled, <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/356018226_Transgender_Adolescent_Suicide_Behavior" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Transgender Adolescent Suicide Behavior” </a>— which Toomey co-wrote with Amy K Syvertsen and Maura Shramko—an argument is made that “most lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youths are quite resilient and emerge from adolescence as healthy adults, the effects of stigma and heterosexism can contribute to health disparities.”

In January of 2019, Toomey filed a <a href="https://www.acluaz.org/en/cases/toomey-v-arizona" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a> “against the State of Arizona and the Arizona Board of Regents for denying medically necessary, gender-confirming healthcare to transgender people employed by the state,” according to the ACLU. 

The ACLU stated the details behind the lawsuit and its current outcome:
“The lawsuit asks the Court to remove the health plan’s exclusion for “gender reassignment surgery.” It also seeks the opportunity for all transgender state employees and dependents to have their claims for transition-related surgery evaluated as medically necessary under the same standards and procedures the health plan applies to other medical treatments. On December 23, 2019, Judge Marquez denied Defendants State of Arizona, Andy Tobin and Paul Shannon’s Motion to Dismiss, and class certification was granted on June 15, 2020. Plaintiff filed a Motion for Preliminary Injunction on September 1, 2020 which has been fully briefed by the Parties. The Court has taken the motion under advisement.”
“During the discovery process, the State of Arizona appealed a ruling by the trial court that the state had to turn over certain documents. On April 14, 2022, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the State of Arizona’s petition, and litigation proceedings will continue.”

<a href="https://coe.arizona.edu/person/julio-cammarota" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julio Cammarota</a> is a Professor of Education at the University of Arizona. According to his faculty biography, “His research focuses on participatory action research with Latinx youth, institutional factors in academic achievement, and liberatory pedagogy.”

Cammarota’s profile also says he “has been instrumental with advancing social justice in education and youth development.” Julio has published over thirty peer-reviewed journal articles, with the bulk of them centered around equity, race, and critical education theories.

Since its birth, Critical Theory has been reserved for college campuses and postgraduate courses, but Julio Cammarota can be credited for bringing it into secondary schools. In his 2006 article, co-authored by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/augustine-romero-5744703b/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Augustine Romero</a>, titled, “<a href="https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ759647.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Critically Compassionate Intellectualism for Latina/o Students: Raising Voices Above the Silencing in Our Schools</a>,” Julio details how he developed “an alternative, social justice pedagogy in a high school located in Tucson, Arizona.” He describes the course further, saying:
“The school principal allowed us to work with a cohort of 20 Latina/o students during their junior and senior years, teaching them the state’s social studies requirements but adjusting the content and pedagogy in ways that facilitated the students’ critical consciousness around racial inequalities affecting their educational and general life experiences.”
Julio cited Paulo Freire on fourteen separate occasions within that same article. Freire is credited as one of the founders of modern day critical pedagogy, and Professor Cammarota works alongside the <a href="https://freireproject.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Freire Project</a> and other critical educators to advance his ideas.

Professor Cammarota’s most notable contribution to date, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Julio-Cammarota/dp/0816513414" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sueños Americanos: Barrio Youth Negotiating Social and Cultural Identities</a>,” is described as a study on:
<ul>
 	<li>“How gender influences social relationships and life choices.”</li>
 	<li>“How Latinos and Latinas try to maintain their distinct ethnic identity while attempting to transcend marginalization.”</li>
 	<li>“Whether the Latino culture helps young people work hard for their families and for a better future.”</li>
 	<li>“How the connections and disconnections among work, family, and school constitute formative processes that shape the cultural identities of Latino youth.”</li>
 	<li>“Concludes with a discussion of social justice education for Latino youth and how this educational approach meets their academic needs while providing opportunities for self-determination and community activism.”</li>
</ul>
Julio is also very active on his social media where he posts about politics and music among other things:<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3076" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/265742BE-8306-4974-919A-C624AF41EA6F.jpeg" alt="" width="685" height="554" />

Yet, because racism is foundational to Eurocentric understandings of culture and cultural production, it is always implicit in how the arts and artists are recognized and valued.”

In chapter one of their forthcoming book, “<a href="https://www.davisart.com/sites/default/assets/File/race-and-art-education-chapter-one.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race and Art Education</a>,” Dr. Kraehe and her co-author wrote that despite major cultural changes in the art field:

“There remains a third rail for many art educations—'big ideas’ and topics that are too emotionally and politically charged to go near. . As non-White women who have been engaged in art and art education for more than 50 years combined, we believe that third rail is race—or more precisely, racism.”

For the Spring 2024 semester, Klotz is scheduled to teach “Special Topics in Women’s Studies” and “Introduction to LGBTQ and Queer of Color Texts.” The latter <a href="https://gws.arizona.edu/course/englgws-351a-introduction-lgbtq-and-queer-color-texts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course description</a> simply states, “Survey with emphasis on writers in their literary and historical contexts.

Huffington Post continued, “The university concede[d] in a <a href="https://media.oregonlive.com/education_impact/other/PSUanswer.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">court filing</a> that Klotz exchanged more than 200 emails with [the former student] from 2009-2012, many of which about sexual topics…”

<a href="https://coe.arizona.edu/person/nolan-l-cabrera" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nolan Cabrera</a> is a Professor of Educational Policy Studies and Practice at the University of Arizona. 

In an article for <a href="https://www.tcpress.com/blog/dont-notice-white-students-sitting-quad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Teachers College Press</a>, titled “Why Don’t We Notice the White Students Sitting Together in The Quad?”, Cabrera accused white students of “perpetuating” racial segregation on campuses, and deems segregation to be a white issue. 

“Racial segregation remains a persistent issue on campuses, and White people are the primary perpetrators of it… Campus segregation, if named accurately, is a distinctly White issue.”

Much of the article addresses certain customs and institutions that are not specific to a non-white race, which are therefore deemed to belong to the white race, according to Cabrera. For instance, he says the following of student unions and certain months:

“Newsflash, there is a White Student Union. It is just called ‘The Student Union.’”

“White History Month traditionally goes by the names of January, March, April, etc.”

In 2019, Cabrera published a <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/White_Guys_on_Campus/ay5SDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">book</a> titled “White Guys on Campus Racism, White Immunity, and the Myth of "Post-Racial" Higher Education.” The first chapter contains the title “The Unbearable Whiteness of Being” which is a play on Milan Kundera’s 1984 novel “The Unbearable Lightness of Being.”

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-3816" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-20-at-12.27.25 PM.png" alt="" width="711" height="487" />

In this chapter, Cabrera compares Capitalism to whiteness in the following manner: 

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-3817" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-20-at-12.31.51 PM-1024x216.png" alt="" width="720" height="152" />

In 2024, Cabrera wrote a book titled “<a href="https://www.tcpress.com/whiteness-in-the-ivory-tower-9780807769164">Whiteness in the Ivory Tower</a>.”  The publisher’s description states the following purpose of the book: 

“Whiteness is the foundation of racism and racial violence within higher education institutions. It is deeply embedded in the ideologies and organizational structures of colleges and universities that guide practices, policies, and research. The purpose of this book is not to simply uncover these practices but, rather, to intentionally center the harm that Whiteness causes to communities of Color broadly in order to transform these practices.”

In the book, Cabrera describes “whitelash,” which is to him a response to “antiracist victories.” He lists several examples of “whitelash." (See excerpt below).

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-3818" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-20-at-12.32.51 PM.png" alt="" width="755" height="297" />

Cabrera uses a figure to demonstrate a “theory of whiteness in higher education.” The figure shows how white supremacy is allegedly the “foundational structure of society” which perpetuates white dominance and “anti-BIPOC violence.” Certain aspects of whiteness are listed  and linked to each other and are shown as the cause of anti-BIPOC tendencies among whites. (See image below).

<a href="https://www.surgery.wisc.edu/staff/katherine-gast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Katherine Gast</a> is an Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. According to her university profile, she provides a wide range of services including “Breast Reconstruction,” “Chest Wall and Thoracic Reconstruction,” and “Lower Extremity Reconstruction.”
Dr. Gast and her colleague Dr. Jay Lick are being sued by a 23-year-old woman who said the doctors <a href="https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/health/2023/11/03/woman-sues-uw-hospital-over-gender-affirming-surgeries/71437329007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">performed gender-altering surgeries on her without proper consent</a>. The woman stated that she self-diagnosed herself with gender dysphoria as a teenager but was never diagnosed by doctors.
According to the lawsuit, the patient had a “series of traumatizing events within her childhood home, including being sexually abused.” She was diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. After self-diagnosing herself with gender dysphoria at age 17, she was prescribed testosterone in Chicago.
At 19, she <a href="https://madison.com/news/local/business/health-care/woman-says-uw-doctors-performed-gender-altering-surgeries-without-proper-consent/article_ff7bd30a-79ab-11ee-82bc-8fefeb60d060.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">received a hysterectomy</a> performed by Dr. Jay Lick. Later, in February 2021, the patient met with Dr. Gast to discuss a double mastectomy. Dr. Gast performed the surgery that August, despite the patient’s “young age, continued anxiety, and PTSD.” Neither doctor evaluated the woman’s self-reported gender dysphoria.
In 2023, the patient says she “began questioning why (the doctors) so strongly and quickly ushered her down the path of irreversible surgical interventions, without ever even considering a psychological intervention.”
The lawsuit argues the UW doctors “recklessly, if not intentionally, overlooked or ignored her psychological history to justify their approach to treating her, a young woman confused about her gender identity and experiencing current and known mental distress.”
The woman’s attorney, Daniel Cragg of Eckland &amp; Blando in Minneapolis, said his office hopes to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/uw-gave-gender-transition-surgeries-without-proper-consent-lawsuit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rectify the alleged personal injury matter</a>. He said, “We’re not doing this as a (public relations) maneuver like a lot of the detransitioner cases are. This is a straight personal injury (medical-malpractice) case.”
The lawsuit also “alleges malpractice and failure to obtain informed consent by both doctors, negligence by the hospital and discrimination under the Affordable Care Act against the doctors and the hospital.”

<a href="https://african.wisc.edu/staff/damon-sajnani/">Dr. Damon Sanjani</a> is a Professor of African Cultural Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While recently he has been in the news for teaching a course called "The Problem of Whiteness", Sanjani is far more controversial than just that class on race relations and white supremacy. He previously retweeted a tweet about assassinating Donald Trump and tweeted in support of the Dallas cop killings.

<a href="https://gws.wisc.edu/staff/schalk-sami/">Dr. Sami Schalk</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Gender and Women’s Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. According to her university biography, Schalk’s work is centered on “disability, race, and gender in contemporary American literature and culture.” Schalk has risen to prominence recently due to her racially inflammatory remarks and sympathy towards rioters tearing down statues.

In a now-deleted exchange and series of tweets, Schalk <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/prof-who-said-white-people-take-up-space-now-says-whites-cant-decide-whats-racist/14268" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> that white people can’t decide what is racist: 

“This is your semi-annual reminder that white people do not get to determine what is &amp; is not racist. If a person of color calls you racist, it’s probably bc [because] you did something racist whether you can recognize it or not. Now back to your regular scheduled programming.” 

She later tweeted that only white people cannot live in the sun, writing, "Out of the sun. You know they got destroyed by the thing that keeps everything else on this planet alive..."

Schalk is also a vocal advocate of the riots that destroyed statues in Madison. In a series of tweets, she vaguely <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/u-wisconsin-madison-professor-cheers-protesters-tearing-down-statues-honoring-abolitionist-womens-progress/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">threatened</a> that the “uprising” would continue if the rioters' demands weren’t met. If there was any ambiguity to her beliefs, she then tweeted that people don’t have anything else to do “but disrupt the f*** out of this city” and that the city of Madison should defund the police.

<a href="https://counselingpsych.education.wisc.edu/fac-staff/budge-stephanie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephanie Budge</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Counseling Psychology and founder of the Trans CARE Collaborative at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

According to its website, the <a href="https://trl.education.wisc.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trans Counseling Advocacy Research and Education (CARE) Collaborative</a> is a “group of social justice driven community members and academics conducting research that affirms the experiences of Two-spirit, trans, nonbinary (2STNB), gender-nonconforming, and gender diverse individuals.”

Budge’s personal <a href="https://trl.education.wisc.edu/people/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">biography</a> on the website says her research “focuses on improving medical and psychotherapeutic treatments (and access to care) for 2STNB clients.” On campus, Budge “promotes 2STNB advocacy on campus by providing workshops to students, faculty, and staff related to navigating gender identity within a university environment.”

In a 2017 article about the lab, <a href="https://isthmus.com/news/news/uw-madison-lab-pioneering-research-transgender/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Isthmus</a> wrote, “Members of the lab aren’t shy about their advocacy and activism - something that is unusual in research. Budge isn’t concerned about tainting the lab’s work or how some might view it as biased.”

Budge told the newspaper:
“I think all research is biased in some way, shape or form. It’s just what you do to ensure that all of that is out on the table. We’re really transparent about what we do, so I’m not really concerned about [our work coming across as biased].” 
Budge is also the Director of the Advancing Health Equity and Diversity (AHEAD) program in the School of Medicine and Public Health. The <a href="https://ictr.wisc.edu/ahead-program/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AHEAD program</a> is a “career development program for UW-Madison scholars, especially those from backgrounds typically underrepresented in medical science, interested in health equity research hosted by the Collaborative Center for Health Equity.”

In March 2023, Budge—along with dozens of other professors—signed a “<a href="https://www.gamcstatement.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement Regarding Laws Restricting Gender Affirming Medical Care</a>.” The statement focuses on two key points:
“First, there is consensus in the field, and amongst these signatories, that gender affirming medical care is important and beneficial for many transgender youth. Second, we do not support laws restricting access to gender affirmative care.” 
The signatories conclude their <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=21908" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>:
“We write this letter to make our position on this crystal clear: The signatories below all believe, based on the current evidence, that gender affirmative care is an important part of many transgender adolescents’ overall care, and that states and health systems should not restrict access to that care.”

<a href="https://english.arizona.edu/person/nataly-reed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nataly Reed</a> is a Senior Lecturer of English at the University of Arizona. 
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> offered a biased account of a statement signed by several university members, including Reed. 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.”
The <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BA7ddNwiUF9ns3zJK3t-nrTpn8R4s3ZB_wbZstAo2iY/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter Reed signed</a> states, in part:
“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.”

Sister Laura Nettles is an <a href="https://www.viterbo.edu/core-curriculum/vusm-faculty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Assistant Professor of Religious Studies</a> and Executive Director for Mission and Social Justice at Viterbo University, which claims to be “the only Catholic university in the diocese of La Crosse.”
According to a section on the <a href="https://www.viterbo.edu/mission-and-ministry/catholic-franciscan-identity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> titled “What Makes Viterbo Catholic?”, the university lists its “commitment to upholding the gospel understanding of the sacredness of all human life.”
Sister Nettles has publicly advocated for the creation of a pro-choice club on campus. On August 22, 2022, Nettles <a href="https://www.prolifewi.org/blog/2022/8/25/viterbo-university-to-significantly-curtail-pro-life-activities-on-campus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held a ‘Mission Convocation’</a> for all employees. During this event, an audience member asked her why a pro-choice club was not allowed to form on campus. She admitted that a male student approached her about a “Students for Choice” club, but stated:
“I would love to say yes to the club, but I asked him if he would be willing to consider a different name like a ‘Health Club’ or a ‘Reproductive Rights’ club. What the student described he wanted to do in the club was to really advocate for women’s rights in healthcare to which I said, ‘amen’ to. So the question was whether he would be willing to think of a different title for it but do much of the same work.”
An audience member then asked if the student-led pro-life club, V-Hawks for Life, should have to change its name. Nettles replied that because the Catholic church is pro-life, the club does not have to change its name. She added:
“However … we are significantly curtailing their activities &#8211; what they can do, what they can’t do; they have to actually jump through a lot of hoops to be able to do what they do, in a way that doesn’t feel great either.” 
An audio recording of the full incident was provided to Pro-Life Wisconsin and <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/14bGMpeaR7oSE30GQ_IbbfdTVYPxtYBZR/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">can be viewed here.</a>
In an emailed statement to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/nun-who-talked-about-curtailing-pro-life-group-has-full-support-of-catholic-university/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a>, Viterbo University President Rick Trietley said, “Sister Laura Nettles is an accomplished Catholic theologian who embraces Catholic teachings, including the Church’s call to respect all life” and “has the administration’s full support.”
In an email interview with <a href="https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252282/catholic-college-viterbo-university-pro-choice-club" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Catholic News Agency</a>, Nettles claims her remarks were taken out of context. She said she considers herself strongly pro-life and is a supporter of the V-Hawks for Life club. She emphasized that “Viterbo University will not allow a pro-choice club to form on our campus, as it would be a direct contradiction to Catholic teachings.”

<a href="https://natomasunified.org/ihs/dashboard/profile/?u=ggipe&amp;page=about-me" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Gabriel Gipe</a> is an AP Government Teacher at <a href="https://natomasunified.org/ihs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inderkum High School</a>. The school is part of the <a href="https://natomasunified.org/">Natomas Unified School District</a> in Sacramento, California.
In a video clip released by Project Veritas, <a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/news/breaking-pro-antifa-high-school-teacher-in-california-admits-communist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Gipe is heard bragging about his affiliations with Antifa and his eagerness to indoctrinate students.</a>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-1527 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-01T110233.538-e1630519435200-1024x268.png" alt="" width="580" height="152" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-01T110233.538-e1630519435200-1024x268.png 1024w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-01T110233.538-e1630519435200-300x79.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-01T110233.538-e1630519435200-768x201.png 768w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-01T110233.538-e1630519435200-1200x314.png 1200w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-01T110233.538-e1630519435200.png 1299w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" />
As <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/dhs-leaked-email-confirms-that-antifa-is-an-organized-group" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> by The Post-Millennial, leaked emails from the Department of Homeland Security show that law enforcement agencies identify Antifa as an organization that engages in “organized” rather than sporadic violence. Many <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/guns-knives-and-other-weapons-confiscated-from-suspects-at-portland-antifa-riot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">members arm themselves with knives and firearms</a> to violently confront conservatives at events. In the Summer of 2021, <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/us-attorneys-office-in-dc-refuses-to-investigate-attack-on-rand-paul/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">members of Antifa attacked Senator Rand Paul</a> and his wife as they walked through Washington D.C.
When sitting down for a conversation with an undercover Project Veritas reporter, Mr. Gipe describes himself politically, “as far left as you can go.” Continuing, he depicts his fantasy involving taking up arms and overthrowing the government in a communist revolution.
Throughout the video, Mr. Gipe can be seen wearing a shirt adorned with red and black flags and the slogan, “antifaschistische aktion.” The phrase and symbol were originally used by the <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/01/the_fascist_roots_behind_todays_justification_of_political_violence.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Communist Party of Germany (KPD) in the 1920s and early 1930s</a>. Founded, funded, and directed by the Soviet Union—and working alongside a fledgling NAZI party— the KPD hoped to spark a communist revolution in Germany that would overthrow the Weimar Republic.
In the video, Mr. Gipe can be heard describing his involvement both in Antifa groups throughout California and in organizing protests against right-wing groups in Sacramento. He proceeds to describe how he lists left-wing events on his classroom whiteboard—including Antifa protests—and bribes his students by offering them extra credit to attend.

As for students that object to his positions, Mr. Gipe describes to the reporter how he publicly shames them in class. When a student posted an anonymous comment decrying the Antifa flag hung in the classroom, Mr. Gipe brags that he read the comment aloud to his class before implying the student must be a fascist.

<a href="https://natomasunified.org/ihs/dashboard/profile/?u=ggipe&amp;page=about-me" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Gabriel Gipe</a> is an AP Government Teacher at <a href="https://natomasunified.org/ihs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inderkum High School</a>. The school is part of the <a href="https://natomasunified.org/">Natomas Unified School District</a> in Sacramento, California.

In a video clip released by Project Veritas, <a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/news/breaking-pro-antifa-high-school-teacher-in-california-admits-communist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Gipe is heard bragging about his affiliations with Antifa and his eagerness to indoctrinate students.</a>

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1527 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-01T110233.538-e1630519435200-1024x268.png" alt="" width="580" height="152" />

As <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/dhs-leaked-email-confirms-that-antifa-is-an-organized-group" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> by The Post-Millennial, leaked emails from the Department of Homeland Security show that law enforcement agencies identify Antifa as an organization that engages in “organized” rather than sporadic violence. Many <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/guns-knives-and-other-weapons-confiscated-from-suspects-at-portland-antifa-riot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">members arm themselves with knives and firearms</a> to violently confront conservatives at events. In the Summer of 2021, <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/us-attorneys-office-in-dc-refuses-to-investigate-attack-on-rand-paul/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">members of Antifa attacked Senator Rand Paul</a> and his wife as they walked through Washington D.C.

When sitting down for a conversation with an undercover Project Veritas reporter, Mr. Gipe describes himself politically, “as far left as you can go.” Continuing, he depicts his fantasy involving taking up arms and overthrowing the government in a communist revolution.

Throughout the video, Mr. Gipe can be seen wearing a shirt adorned with red and black flags and the slogan, “antifaschistische aktion.” The phrase and symbol were originally used by the <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/01/the_fascist_roots_behind_todays_justification_of_political_violence.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Communist Party of Germany (KPD) in the 1920s and early 1930s</a>. Founded, funded, and directed by the Soviet Union—and working alongside a fledgling NAZI party— the KPD hoped to spark a communist revolution in Germany that would overthrow the Weimar Republic.

In the video, Mr. Gipe can be heard describing his involvement both in Antifa groups throughout California and in organizing protests against right-wing groups in Sacramento. He proceeds to describe how he lists left-wing events on his classroom whiteboard—including Antifa protests—and bribes his students by offering them extra credit to attend.

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

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

<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.

<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?!

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

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

<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].”

Their <a href="https://wp-orep-cdn.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/30175948/2020_Valuations_Maryland_complaint_70.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit claims</a> the appraiser “dramatically undervalu[ed] their home in an appraisal because of their race and their home’s location adjacent to a black census block, notwithstanding that it is also located within Homeland, an affluent, mostly white neighborhood.” When the couple’s white friend posed at the homeowner, the appraisal allegedly went from $472,000 to $750,000.

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.

Mott and her husband appeared on ABC Live News to tell their side of the story:

<a href="https://sais.jhu.edu/users/ymounk1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yascha Mounk</a> is a Professor of Practice of International Affairs at Johns Hopkins University (JHU). Mounk’s faculty profile says he is “a political scientist known for his work on the rise of populism and the crisis of liberal democracy.”

Mounk was outspoken on Twitter after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack against Israel. Mounk wrote that Israel “has every right to defend itself” but that their response constituted “moral error” when Palestinians become casualties. However, Mounk did not acknowledge <a href="https://stratcomcoe.org/cuploads/pfiles/hamas_human_shields.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas’ use of human shields as a war tactic</a>. The militant group often stores its arsenal inside civilian structures (e.g. schools, hospitals, and mosques).
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Hamas murdered over 1,400 people in an indescribably sadistic manner.

Its leaders have made it very clear that they will continue to murder Israeli civilians if given the chance.

Israel has every right to defend itself.

But that is all the more reason for Israel to operate in…

According to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2024/02/05/atlantic-yascha-mounk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a>, Mounk said, “I am aware of the horrendous allegations against me.

JHU has not publicly stated whether Mounk will remain in his faculty position. As of publication, <a href="https://sais.jhu.edu/users/ymounk1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his profile</a> does not show him on leave from the college.
