<a href="https://hhd.psu.edu/contact/gary-king" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gary King</a> is a Professor of Biobehavioral Health at Penn State University. King has co-authored two reports about Penn State.
According to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220713002336/https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2021/06/16/penn-state-black-faculty-racism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a>, the first discusses the “stagnation of efforts to increase the number of Black professors” and the second “revealed through a survey the slights, indignities, microaggressions, systemic obstacles and overt racism that many Black professors say they have endured in State College.”
During the fall 2022 semester, more than 400 professors and lecturers, including King, <a href="https://www.pennlive.com/pennstate/2022/11/under-fire-penn-state-president-defends-her-commitment-to-diversity-and-equity.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed a letter questioning Penn State President Neeli Bendapudi’s commitment to racial justice.</a> The letter comes after Bendapudi announced the Center for Racial Justice, outlined in the university’s strategic plan under former President Eric Barron, was canceled.
The <a href="https://onwardstate.com/2022/11/02/concerned-penn-state-faculty-pen-letter-to-university-leadership-over-racial-justice-worries/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faculty writes:</a>
“This is symptomatic of a decades-long history at Penn State, where the university has failed to invest in work that addresses structural inequality and the realities of structural racism on our campuses, in our community, and in the state.” 
They also state:
“At a time of rising racial inequality and intensifying racial injustice, Penn State leadership has decided to turn its back on research to address and potentially positively impact the realities of racial injustice.” 
Penn State ended the most recent fiscal year in a budget deficit and President Bendapudi has <a href="https://www.collegian.psu.edu/news/penn-state-faculty-blindsided-by-budget-changes-affecting-racial-justice-initiatives-on-campus/article_2d26a134-5033-11ed-94bb-8f57ebaa5b8c.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">implemented budget cuts to make up for it.</a> King, who was not satisfied with this explanation, said:
“The center was a symbol. It was a very important symbol that everyone in the university could identify with and a means by which Penn State could indicate how they are moving forward into the 21st century and dealing with matters of racism.” 
He <a href="https://www.sungazette.com/news/education/2022/11/why-black-faculty-are-questioning-penn-states-commitment-to-diversity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added:</a>
“Penn State is now showing that it’s a Big Ten university with regards to matters of diversity and anti-racism.” 
King also <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1s2iANajV0C69hQmEi63I5iGBtDSrA4NJoZmhWaTQZ90/viewform?ts=6106e185&amp;edit_requested=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed a letter circulated by the Coalition for a Just University (CJU)</a> in 2021 calling for a campus-wide vaccine mandate. The letter’s other demands included required masking, social distancing, and a more flexible and reasonable teaching policy.
In August 2021, King, along with 270 other faculty members, chose to teach his in-person classes via Zoom to <a href="https://www.collegian.psu.edu/news/campus/tone-deaf-faculty-argues-against-penn-state-s-disciplinary-action-warning-for-zoom-in-protesters/article_e7835142-0554-11ec-9ceb-a70e2b4e2db8.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protest Penn State’s lack of a COVID vaccine mandate.</a> King once again compared Penn State to the other Big Ten universities, saying:
“It appears as though [Penn State] will do everything [it] can to win a football game against Big Ten rivals but not compete with them in promoting the interests of public health with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

<a href="https://www.sia.psu.edu/faculty/hatemi">Dr. Peter Hatemi</a>, a Professor of Political Science at Penn State, stated that conservatives express more issues of psychoticism, which he defined as " uncooperative, hostile, troublesome, and socially withdrawn, but lack feelings of inferiority and have an absence of anxiety. At the extremes, those scoring high on P are manipulative, tough-minded, and practical." He also claims that the counterparts of these conservatives [the left] is more likely to be altruistic, well socialized, empathic, and conventional. However upon review he accidentally switched data points around and should have labeled liberals with the adjectives he labeled conservatives with. Presented with this information, he claimed that it did not change his conclusion.

<a href="https://sociology.la.psu.edu/people/smr8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Sam Richards</a> is a Teaching Professor of Sociology at <a href="https://www.psu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pennsylvania State University</a>. He is known for his racially laden diatribes delivered to students during his lectures.

Dr. Richards is most prominently known for teaching SOC119, or “Race and Ethnic Relations”. The class is <a href="https://www.soc119.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allegedly the “largest race and cultural relations course in the United States,</a>” according to the official site. Dr. Richards also streams his lectures live, with over 57,000 subscribers on Youtube as of August 2021.

The course addresses relevant racial, political, and cross-cultural issues amongst young adults. Classes consist of Dr. Richards facilitating discussions for students to confront and examine viewpoints contrary to their own.

However, lectures typically devolve into racial and politically biased tirades. Dr. Richards frequently accuses white students of harboring racial animus, alleges that white supremacy is embedded in American culture, and accuses American Christians of seeking to overthrow the government.

In one lecture, titled “White Discomfort,” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKTUG02kTTg&amp;ab_channel=SOC119" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Richards selects a black and white student and asks them to stand in front of the class</a>. Claiming that racial equality does not exist, he proceeds to position both students abreast of one another before yelling, “They are not f****** equal!”

In another class, titled “Christian Sharia,” Dr. Richards spends over an hour <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmzDnulSV_g&amp;ab_channel=SOC119" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lecturing on the threat he perceives Christians pose to the country.</a> At one point, when displaying a picture of a Muslim man holding a sign that reads, “Behead Those That Insult Islam,” he proceeds to claim, “You can’t find that anywhere in the Koran….I know that you can find it in the Bible.”

Later in the same lecture, he accuses Vice President Mike Pence of being a religious extremist on par with that of the Taliban.

In a lecture delivered in <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=17832" target="_blank" rel="noopener">March of 2021 and captured by Campus Reform</a>, Dr. Richards selects a white student, Brian, from the audience for a class exercise. He proceeds to ask Brian who he oppressed that day. After the student replied that he hadn’t oppressed anybody, Dr. Richards retorts that since Brian has “left his house” and “is breathing”, that, as a white person, he must have oppressed somebody that day. The full interaction may be viewed below.

As of August 2021, Dr. Richards has disabled comments or unlisted many of his videos following publicity of his lectures.

The main site for SOC119 mandates that regardless of vaccination status, students will have to wear masks while attending class.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Richards for comment but has not received a reply by the time of publication.

<a href="https://ed.psu.edu/directory/dr-edward-j-fuller" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Edward J. Fuller</a> is an Assistant Professor of Education at <a href="https://www.psu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pennsylvania State University</a>. On his personal Twitter account, Dr. Fuller called for drunk drivers to run over unvaccinated parents.

The Tweet was a response to school-choice activist <a href="https://twitter.com/DeAngelisCorey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Corey A. DeAngelis's</a> opposition to mandatory masking in schools. In his reply, Dr. Fuller asked why parents have the right to endanger children by refusing to enforce mandatory masking. He then appeared to suggest that people with masks should drive while under the influence and run over “pro-covid” parents who oppose mask restrictions, as it is their freedom to do so.

<a href="https://polisci.la.psu.edu/people/jap45/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James “Jim” Piazza</a> is a Liberal Arts Professor of Political Science at Penn State University. His research interests include terrorism, counterterrorism, political violence, intrastate conflict, and the politics of the Middle East and Islamic world.

Professor Piazza has been outspoken against former President Donald Trump for many years. In 2020, he wrote an article titled <a href="https://theconversation.com/when-politicians-use-hate-speech-political-violence-increases-146640" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“When Politicians Use Hate Speech, Political Violence Increases,”</a> where he argues that Donald Trump is “accused of publicly denigrating people based on their racial, ethnic or religious backgrounds.” He also claims that domestic terrorism more than doubled in the United States since the beginning of Trump’s presidency.

Another article, titled <a href="https://www.lawfareblog.com/white-demographic-anxiety-fuels-support-torture-terrorism-suspects" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“White Demographic Anxiety Fuels Support for Turtore of Terrorism Suspects,”</a> discusses the U.S. Census Bureau’s prediction that the U.S. will be a “majority-minority” country by 2044.

He cites his own research to claim that when white people hear this information, they become more likely to express negative attitudes towards racial minorities. He also claims that this “prompts whites to support political organizations like the Tea Party and right-wing politicians like Donald Trump that truck in anti-minority and anti-foreigner appeals.”

Another recent study of Piazza’s, <a href="https://dea7fa46-473c-46b9-a155-9bc760b1ad78.filesusr.com/ugd/93efc7_ddafabb1f5244e7e981c9009b945ec91.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Approval of Donald Trump, Racism, Xenophobia, and Support for Political Violence,”</a> alleges that Trump supporters are more likely to be supportive of political violence due to their “racist and xenophobic attitudes.” His conclusion states:
“We also find that Trump approvers are motivated by racial animus and mistruct and hatred towards immigrants and foreigners, and that these attitudes, in part, may make them more accepting of political violence.” 
Piazza’s most recent article for <a href="https://theconversation.com/the-sore-loser-effect-rejecting-election-results-can-destabilize-democracy-and-drive-terrorism-171571" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Conversation</a> focuses on his study <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10659129211054451" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Sore Losers: Does Terrorism and Approval of Terrorism Increase in Democracies When Election Losers Refuse to Accept Election Results?”</a> This article discusses the “baseless allegation that Joe Biden stole the 2020 U.S. presidential election” and the “Big Lie” that Trump really won.

Piazza claims that when politicians refuse to accept defeat and become “sore losers,” this “produces a situation where political violence is no longer seen as taboo.” He states:
“These results show that when politicians refuse to accept a free and fair democratic election’s outcome, and instead choose to promote a popular narrative of a stolen or dirty election, they place their people in physical danger. Popular tolerance for terrorism grows, and so does terorrist activity itself.”

<a href="https://ed.psu.edu/directory/dr-francesca-lopez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Francesca Lopez</a> is a Professor of Education and the Waterbury Chair in Equity Pedagogy at Penn State University.

Lopez co-authored a report that describes “effective responses” school leaders can use when <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/professors-publish-playbook-teachers-address-parents-concerned-crt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">questioned about critical race theory (CRT) curricula.</a>

The report, titled <a href="https://kappanonline.org/community-concerns-crthodge-lope-rosenberg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“How to Respond to Community Concerns About Critical Race Theory,”</a> says CRT can help students “unpack and rethink the social construct of race that divides so much of U.S. society.” The authors write that “school and district leaders must support teachers in including discussions about race in education in ways that are aligned with CRT principles.”

The report provides a three-step approach to addressing concerns about critical race theory, including: opening by describing a shared value, “use active voice to name an antagonist (e.g., the people who are trying to divide us) and call out divide-and-conquer tactics,” and ending with a “call to action that affirms common values” instead of being race-neutral or colorblind.

The authors argue that rather than being race-neutral, districts should directly address specific populations. They say this will affirm students and acknowledge the “history and present realities of racism and segregation.”

In an interview with <a href="https://www.edweek.org/leadership/how-to-respond-to-parents-crt-complaints/2022/11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Education Week</a>, Lopez stated:
“The goal of effective messaging is essentially to step away from the fueling of fear because people can very easily go down a rabbit hole of engaging in debates that become echo chambers.”
She added:
“Effective messaging moves beyond just engaging in a debate. It keeps people focused with a clear message on what, for example, equity-focused approaches in education are really meant to do.”

“I can confirm that the university has activated the AC70 process. Regrettably, the university intends to hold a hearing under the AC7- process if I choose not to resign. I am fighting this vigorously. I feel constrained to say anything more at this time.” 
In June 2022, Penn State President Neeli Bendapudi released a three-page memo that <a href="https://www.chronicle.com/article/penn-state-professor-who-clashed-with-a-student-at-a-vaccine-rally-will-keep-his-job" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced Baker would not be fired</a>. Bendapudi said his actions were determined to be “clearly misconduct” but she did not believe “merited termination.”

<a href="https://polisci.la.psu.edu/people/eah13/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Errol Henderson</a> is an Associate Professor of International Relations in the Department of Political Science at Penn State University.

In May 2021, Henderson <a href="https://www.collegian.psu.edu/news/campus/black-penn-state-professor-sues-university-for-discrimination-hostile-work-environment-based-on-race/article_64c6774c-b40b-11eb-bb3a-43e569fc6993.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed a lawsuit against the university for alleged discrimination</a>. According to the lawsuit, he filed several formal complaints against Penn State over the past 10 years due to a “racially hostile work environment.” The suit argues his race was a “motivating and/or determinative factor” in the “discriminatory” way he was treated.

In 2019, Henderson wrote an op-ed for The Daily Collegian titled, “<a href="https://www.collegian.psu.edu/opinion/letters_to_editor/being-black-at-penn-state-letter-to-the-editor/article_56c889e0-19d6-11e9-918c-4b0acfadb892.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Being Black at Penn State</a>.” In this article, he accused Penn State of having a “toxic racist climate.” He concluded his article by writing:
“The racists who are hidden in plain sight use the cover of concealment to shroud their racist practices; and they use the silence of others to conceal their white racist actions; and those who remain silent are complicit in that white racism. These are unfortunate facts of being black at Penn State.” 
Henderson’s lawsuit states:
“Within weeks of publication, Dr. Henderson learned that several of his white colleagues had raised complaints that he had created a racially hostile work environment for them, and that he was being investigated by Penn State for alleged racial harassment.” 
The lawsuit continues by saying Henderson was issued a formal letter of discipline, which charged him with “discrimination and harassment and related inappropriate conduct” under University Policy AD91. He was barred from teaching until June 2021 and was required to take remedial courses in teaching.

Henderson’s suit alleges that his race was a “motivaing and/or determinative factor” in the “discriminatory” way he was treated.

In March 2022, a <a href="https://www.pennlive.com/news/2022/03/black-professor-given-chance-to-amend-federal-civil-rights-suit-against-penn-state.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">judge dismissed part of Henderson’s lawsuit</a> but gave him the opportunity to file an amended complaint. The judge wrote “the deficiencies that caused the dismissal of the hostile work claims may be easily rectified by providing more concrete factual details to support his contention of bias and racism.” As of publication, the lawsuit is still ongoing.

On November 3, 2022, Henderson participated in a rally hosted by the Committee of Concerned Penn State Faculty to <a href="https://www.collegian.psu.edu/news/penn-state-community-rallies-to-amplify-their-voices-after-cancellation-of-center-for-racial-justice/article_458d5928-5bbb-11ed-af6f-33af95641c7a.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protest the cancellation of the planned Center for Racial Justice.</a> He spoke during the rally, denouncing several members of the Penn State Administration and saying,
“I’ve been here 20 years fighting the fight against white supremacism.” 
Henderson has also supported a campus-wide coronavirus vaccine mandate. Before the beginning of the 2021 fall semester, he <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1s2iANajV0C69hQmEi63I5iGBtDSrA4NJoZmhWaTQZ90/viewform?ts=6106e185&amp;edit_requested=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed an open letter</a> put together by the Coalition for a Just University (CJU).

The letter had a list of six demands for the administration including a COVID vaccine mandate, required masking and social distancing, and a more flexible and reasonable teaching policy.

<a href="https://english.la.psu.edu/directory/mfb12/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Bérubé</a> is the Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Literature at Penn State University.

Bérubé has been outspoken about his support for abortion. In 2018, the Pennsylvania House was <a href="https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/billinfo/billinfo.cfm?syear=2017&amp;sind=0&amp;body=H&amp;type=B&amp;bn=2050" target="_blank" rel="noopener">considering a bill</a> that would ban abortion for babies diagnosed with Down syndrome in utero. Bérubé wrote an <a href="https://www.pennlive.com/opinion/2018/04/this_pa_abortion_bill_has_noth.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">op-ed for PennLive</a> where he shared that he and his wife, Janet, have a son with Down syndrome who has been a huge blessing to them. He writes: “In our family, Down syndrome isn’t a big deal.”

However, he adds:
“As much as we love him, we would never want to force anyone else to have a child with Down syndrome.” 
He argues that some parents “might be terribly disability-phobic” and “where is the moral benefit in compelling them to have a child they may very well resent and mistreat.” He ends by writing:
“Janet and I believe strongly that prospective parents should be able to terminate pregnancies for any reason.” 
Bérubé co-authored an article for The New Republic titled, “<a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/165649/professors-speech-disqualifying" target="_blank" rel="noopener">When Professors’ Speech Is Disqualifying</a>.” The article begins by asking the question, “Does academic freedom protect professors espousing white supremacist ideas?” Bérubé et al. claim that the answer in the past has always been yes, before adding:
“This is a disturbing realization for anyone who thinks of academic freedom as one of the cornerstones of a free and open society - and who understands how profoundly it is threatened by Republican state legislatures trying to criminalize the teaching of critical race theory (CRT).”
Before the beginning of the 2021 fall semester, Bérubé <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1s2iANajV0C69hQmEi63I5iGBtDSrA4NJoZmhWaTQZ90/viewform?ts=6106e185&amp;edit_requested=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed an open letter</a> put together by the Coalition for a Just University (CJU). The letter had a list of six demands for the administration including a campus-wide vaccine mandate, required masking and social distancing, and a more flexible and reasonable teaching policy.

Bérubé also spoke out in defense of colleague Oliver Baker. Baker got into a physical altercation with a student who was counter-protesting at a pro-vaccine mandate rally on Penn State’s campus. He was charged with harassment, disorderly conduct, and simple assault.

The incident can be viewed below.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
A rally led by Penn State faculty and students asking for a COVID 19 vaccine mandate turned physical this afternoon at Old Main. A counter protester was present. Words and shoves were exchanged between the two sides.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Although the charges were dropped, Penn State initiated dismissal proceedings for the professor. Bérubé <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220429224628/https://www.centredaily.com/news/local/education/penn-state/article260773532.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attended a rally</a> of more than 75 students, faculty, and community members who disagreed with the university’s decision. He said that Baker was “trying to protect witnesses who … <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2022/01/18/penn-state-seeks-fire-professor-over-vaccine-rally-tussle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">felt threatened by the counterprotester</a>” and added:
“Even if Penn State still wants to signal disapproval of Baker’s actions after all that, ‘initiating termination proceedings is like calling a nuclear strike on a jaywalker.’” 
Penn State ultimately decided not to fire Baker, but not before Bérubé added:
“Every faculty member at Penn State at every campus should be alarmed, should be profoundly disturbed, by this case because it is every bit as outrageous as it looks.”

<a href="https://anth.la.psu.edu/people/dwb5537/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Douglas Bird</a> is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Pennsylvania State University. According to his university profile, he has “broad interests in how social and ecological factors interact to influence patterns of resource use and their archaeological expressions.”

According to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230429094159/https://www.inquirer.com/news/pennsylvania-state-university-indigenous-students-faculty-20230425.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Philadelphia Inquirer</a>, Penn State originally got 776,514 acres from the federal government under the Morrill Act of 1862. The university paid $38,089 for the land, but the faculty argue this is a “gross underpayment” given that the land is now valued at over $4.5 billion.

The Penn State University Faculty Senate recently voted 118-1 to approve a report on how the university can reconcile its Native American “land grab.”

Douglas Bird, Chair of the Faculty Senate Committee on Education Equity and the Campus Environment, stated:
“Penn State in all its history has had only one Indigenous program, an American Indian Leadership Program, that ran from 1970 to 2010. That’s the only contribution that Penn State has ever made to Indigenous communities, despite the fact that every single cert [of its original endowment] came from expropriated Indigenous land.” 
The report calls for a <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/penn-state-faculty-school-needs-truth-and-reconciliation-process-for-its-native-land-grab/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">special joint task force</a> “to implement a truth and reconciliation process regarding Penn State’s original federal endowment.” The Inquirer reports, it “also recommends the creation of a program of Indigenous studies, the holding of an Indigenous Peoples Day event, and setting aside space on campus to ‘engage in justice,’ celebrate peace, and honor ‘the continued vitality of the First Nations and historic tribes’ whose land Penn State currently sits on.”

Professor Bird, who reportedly teared up on the senate floor while presenting the report, says the resolution “is simply to get some action and some level of support for Indigenous studies here at Penn State.” He also stated:
“Why doesn’t Penn State invest in a place, a space that is a nexus of peace? It would be a place where Penn State can acknowledge the traumatic history.”

Themis Matsoukas was a Professor of Chemical Engineering at Pennsylvania State University from 1991-2023.

In June 2023, Matsoukas was <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/penn-state-professor-charged-with-animal-cruelty-engaging-in-sexual-intercourse-with-dog-in-public-forest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested</a> after being accused of performing sexual acts with his dog in a public forest. The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) <a href="https://www.fox43.com/article/news/crime/themis-matsoukas-arrest-lewd-acts-rothrock-state-forest/521-c69de662-b274-4589-aece-e46f2dde4861" target="_blank" rel="noopener">began investigating</a> in April 2023 after a trail camera showed an unknown man “engaging in lewd acts” around the parking lot and restroom.

After a camera identified similar images in May, the investigators were able to identify Matsoukas by his Subaru Outback.

The <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/06/15/penn-states-themis-matsoukas-begged-rangers-to-kill-him/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> reports, “The shocking footage reportedly showed the professor wearing nothing but a ski mask, boots with socks, and a wristwatch, and carrying a North Face backpack. Matsoukas reportedly could be seen masturbating near a women’s public restroom, before ‘engaging in a sexual act with the dog,’ according to the affidavit.”

DCNR later recovered images from a trail camera at a privately owned camp that show Matsoukas’s actions date back to 2014.

DCNR investigators obtained a search warrant for Matsoukas’s home and vehicle, seeking to obtain items that were seen in the trail camera footage. When investigators arrived at his home, the professor allegedly became panicked and said repeatedly, “I’m done, I’m dead.”

He told investigators he did it “to blow off steam” and reportedly “begged” the DCNR officials to kill him saying, “What do I have to do to get you to shoot me? I need to die.”

Matsoukas was arraigned on charges of “open lewdness, indecent exposure, sexual intercourse with an animal and animal cruelty.”

The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230615213746/https://www.centredaily.com/news/local/crime/article276408146.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Centre Daily Times</a> reported the university put out a statement that read, “Themis Matsoukas has been relieved of his responsibilities and is on leave.”

<a href="https://www.psu.edu/news/education/story/faculty-profile-kamaria-b-porter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamaria B. Porter</a> is an Assistant Professor of Education at Penn State. Her profile says she’s involved with “a wide array of research experience in the field of racial and gender equities in higher education, particularly in graduate education and campus sexual assault.”

In December 2023, Porter <a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/47A3521AE1FB9B1D2FC93518D55435F3/S002392162300004Xa.pdf/sexual_consent_and_relational_rights_a_call_for_relational_repair.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authored a paper</a> entitled “Sexual consent and relational rights: a call for relational repair,” where she discusses women’s rights in light of sexual violence. Porter said:
“The history of sexual consent as law is deeply intertwined with the denial of rights to all women, with Indigenous women and [b]lack women at the most extreme position of sexual and social subordination. Definitions of rape and consent corresponded to the gendered racist hierarchal social structure of the early colonies, denying enslaved African women the right to withhold consent, alongside all wives, all poor women and sex workers across race.”
In 2022, Porter participated in a <a href="https://youtu.be/zyW2nml0juU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">panel discussion</a> moderated by <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/charleshfdavisiii" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor Charles H.F. Davis III</a> in which they discussed alternatives to police presence on college campuses. When asked about police being the first response to sexual violence on campus, Porter stated that traumatic experiences like “state violence against black communities” and the “murder of black trans women” (biological males) keep them from reporting the crimes.

<a href="https://www.ehshouston.org/academics/faculty-staff-2021/profile/~const-id/8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mrs. Sharon Willcutts-Havel</a> is a Studio Arts teacher at <a href="https://www.ehshouston.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Episcopal High School</a> (EPS) in Bellaire, Texas. In a Zoom lecture to students, Mrs. Willcutts-Havel told her class that all white people are guilty of racism and America is only great because of slavery.
In a video provided exclusively to the Professor Watchlist from an anonymous source, Mrs. Willcutts-Havel can be heard recommending the book, “I am Still Here; Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness,” to her students.
“I just finished this book last night, and it’s by Austin Channing Brown. Anyone heard of her? She’s amazing! I thought I knew about Racism. This is all about whiteness and white fragility; how we make apologies for our racism. I am Still Here; Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness.” 
The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Im-Still-Here-Dignity-Whiteness/dp/1524760854" target="_blank" rel="noopener">book’s summary states</a>, “I’m Still Here is an illuminating look at how white, middle-class, Evangelicalism has participated in an era of rising racial hostility, inviting the reader to confront apathy, recognize God’s ongoing work in the world, and discover how blackness—if we let it—can save us all.”
Author Austin Channing Brown writes, “White people are exhausting” in the first line of the book, and has expressed how she <a href="https://religionnews.com/2018/05/09/white-people-are-exhausting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">very purposefully chose those words</a> to address her audience. Brown has suggested in prior interviews that white people <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzuWlU9Llnc&amp;ab_channel=TrinityChurchWallStreet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">can only call themselves Christians if they reject their whiteness</a>.

Furthermore, Mrs. Willcuts-Havel accuses all white people of being guilty of racism.
“I too, found how guilty I am by reading through this. We all are as white people, we all are. That’s a fact.”
She then alleges that America is prosperous only because of slavery.
“Because this country was based on slavery. We are great, this country is great because of slavery. So, we couldn&#8217;t be&#8230;we’re the greatest country in the world, you guys! That&#8217;s what they say and it&#8217;s because it was built on the backs of other people.”

<a href="https://www.phil.uga.edu/directory/people/irami-osei-frimpong" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Irami Osei-Frimpong</a> is a Teaching Assistant at the University of Georgia. He’s called for the death of white people and claimed that racial violence is the only way to achieve social justice.
In a now-deleted Medium article, Irami announced <a href="https://archive.ph/TCbjw#selection-127.0-134.0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he was banned from Facebook</a> for stating that killing “some” white people isn’t genocide. The article is a repost of Irami’s original post, in which he defended a Texas A&amp;M professor—Tommy Curry—who called for killing white people:
“I guess I am going to post once more on Curry’s situation. We are too easy on white people. The Washington Examiner posted an article with the lead: “Curry called for white genocide, saying in a 2012 podcast ‘in order to be equal, in order to be liberated, some white people may have to die.“ <a href="https://archive.ph/o/TCbjw/www.washingtonexaminer.com/texas-am-wont-fire-professor-who-called-for-killing-white-people/article/2622810">http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/texas-am-wont-fire-professor-who-called-for-killing-white-people/article/2622810</a>
“First of all, killing some white people isn’t genocide; it’s killing some white people. We had to kill some white people to get out of slavery. Maybe if we’d killed more during the 20th century we still wouldn’t talk about racialized voter disenfranchisement and housing, education, and employment discrimination.”
Irami goes on to say he hopes the media will prepare white people “for the hit they are going to have to take” so that racial justice may be achieved without “killing too many of them.”
“If we want racial justice without having to kill them, then all of our educational and media institutions should be preparing white people for the hit they are going to have to take, so that we get racial justice without killing too many of them.”

<a href="https://www.tc.columbia.edu/faculty/bl2938/">Bettina L. Love</a> is a Professor of Education at Columbia University. A prominent critical race theorist, Dr. Love is responsible for the anti-racist curriculum that schools across the country use to teach students. Her work has been described as the <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/abolishing-america-biden-and-bettina-love/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“single most comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the ideology of the CRT movement in education.</a>”

<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Critical race theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism</a>—also referred to as critical theory—that alleges <a href="https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white supremacy infects all political, legal, and cultural institutions</a> in America. Many prominent critical theorists, including professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even claim that the <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nation’s true founding year is 1619</a>—rather than 1776—when the first slave stepped foot in North America.

Dr. Love describes herself as an <a href="https://bettinalove.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abolitionist and anti-racist activist educator</a> who works to understand and critique “systemic and structural racism in education.”<a href="https://thefederalist.com/2021/08/12/meet-bettina-l-love-a-critical-race-theorist-coming-to-a-school-near-you/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> She further details her beliefs</a> in her book, “<a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/622408/we-want-to-do-more-than-survive-by-bettina-love/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">We Want to Do More Than Survive.</a>”

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2026 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-03-30T152022.966-e1648679086557-1024x353.png" alt="" width="580" height="200" />

Dr. Love is the founder of the Abolitionist Teaching Network (ATN) whose goal is to provide educators with the resources for abolitionist teaching, which Dr. Love characterizes <a href="https://www.sesp.northwestern.edu/news-center/news/2021/01/abolitionist-teaching-a-conversation-with-bettina-l-love.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as “calling out” fellow teachers who are racist, homophobic, or Islamophobic.”</a>

ATN’s own documents encourage abolitionist teachers to promote the “liberation” of people of color and “embody the spirit” of the Black Lives Matter movement.

<img class="size-full wp-image-2028 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screen-Shot-2022-03-30-at-3.32.03-PM-1.png" alt="" width="570" height="716" />

&nbsp;

The page is found in ATN’s “<a href="https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/8d4b8aa7-b12e-4df8-9836-081a29841523/downloads/ATN%20Guide%20to%20Racial%20and%20Restorative%20Justice%20in.pdf?ver=1639147237108" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Guide to Racial and Restorative Justice.</a>” Dr. Love’s organization distributes the document to school districts across the country as a resource for teachers. The resource instructs educators to demand the following from their school districts:

- Hire more black, brown, and indigenous teachers,

- Hire abolitionist teachers,

- Free anti-racist therapy for white educators,

- Reduce class sizes for the benefit of black, brown, and indigenous children,

- Remove any and all police officers from schools,

- Reparations for minority children,

- Teaching standards that promote “Black, Brown, and Indigenous liberation.”

The document further accuses schools of the “spirit murder” of minority studies via disciplinary practices. Dr. Love uses this phrase in a separate article <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210106043843/https://www.edweek.org/leadership/opinion-how-schools-are-spirit-murdering-black-and-brown-students/2019/05" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to accuse white educators of levying racist punishments to humiliate and “destroy” their students of color.</a>

The article appeared in EducationWeekly where Dr. Love contributes articles that are full of racial invectives and diatribes. One claims that <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211011180846/https://www.edweek.org/leadership/opinion-grit-is-in-our-dna-why-teaching-grit-is-inherently-anti-black/2019/02" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teaching students to work hard is racist.</a> Her article—<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210722025254/https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/opinion-dear-white-teachers-you-cant-love-your-black-students-if-you-dont-know-them/2019/03" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dear White Teachers: You Can’t Love Your Black Students If You Don’t Know them</a>—accuses white teachers of being incapable of teaching black students.

Dr. Love's work is promoted and incorporated into school districts across the country. <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/critical-race-theory-activist-education-department-connections" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Department of Education under the Biden administration once listed ATN and Dr. Love’s work as resources</a>. She was invited to address the Virginia Department of Education’s Equity Summit where she called to dismantle capitalism and systemic racism in schools.

Dr. Love was also invited to the San Diego Unified School District, where she <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/radicals-in-the-classroom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly told attendees that white teachers are responsible for the suffering of “dark children.”</a>  Slides presented during her lecture stated, “Whiteness reproduces poverty, failing schools, high unemployment, school closings, and trauma for people of color.”
The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Love for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

<a href="https://www.phil.uga.edu/directory/people/irami-osei-frimpong" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Irami Osei-Frimpong</a> is a Teaching Assistant at the University of Georgia. He’s called for the death of white people and claimed that racial violence is the only way to achieve social justice.

In a now-deleted Medium article, Irami announced <a href="https://archive.ph/TCbjw#selection-127.0-134.0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he was banned from Facebook</a> for stating that killing “some” white people isn’t genocide. The article is a repost of Irami’s original post, in which he defended a Texas A&amp;M professor—Tommy Curry—who called for killing white people:

“I guess I am going to post once more on Curry’s situation. We are too easy on white people. The Washington Examiner posted an article with the lead: “Curry called for white genocide, saying in a 2012 podcast ‘in order to be equal, in order to be liberated, some white people may have to die.“ <a href="https://archive.ph/o/TCbjw/www.washingtonexaminer.com/texas-am-wont-fire-professor-who-called-for-killing-white-people/article/2622810">http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/texas-am-wont-fire-professor-who-called-for-killing-white-people/article/2622810</a>

“First of all, killing some white people isn’t genocide; it’s killing some white people. We had to kill some white people to get out of slavery. Maybe if we’d killed more during the 20th century we still wouldn’t talk about racialized voter disenfranchisement and housing, education, and employment discrimination.”

Irami goes on to say he hopes the media will prepare white people “for the hit they are going to have to take” so that racial justice may be achieved without “killing too many of them.”

“If we want racial justice without having to kill them, then all of our educational and media institutions should be preparing white people for the hit they are going to have to take, so that we get racial justice without killing too many of them.”

Further posts on Twitter—many of which are still live—disparage white people as “autistic sociopaths” and claim they are “not people.”

<a href="https://hhs.uncg.edu/pcs/people/egerton-charles/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charles Egerton</a> denigrated white people during a lecture at the University of North Carolina (UNC) &#8211; Greensboro and stated that “whiteness” is a ploy to oppose critical race theory. 
His comments were delivered during a panel, titled, “Common Threads: Attacks on Critical Race Theory: Centering Whiteness.” A <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/u-north-carolina-greensboro-lecturer-defends-crt-says-whiteness-is-a-disease/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">description for the video lecture promises to unpack</a> “four central myths and attacks being used by political and social opponents that seek to demonize and misrepresent Critical Race Theory and center whiteness. ” It further reads:  
“Whiteness is defined as a false ideology that infects people of light skin which in turn supports a system of white supremacy and anti-Black racism. The various components of the fallacious attacks against CRT are discussed in comparison with the realities of what CRT is and is not. 
A slide for the lecture labels whiteness as an “overarching disease.”
“We frame these attacks in an understanding of a systematic weaponization of the Straw Man Fallacy. The presenters assert that Critical Race Theory is a powerful diagnostic and research lens that is essential to our pursuit of justice and oneness.”

“&#8230;looking at whiteness as a disease. The social construct is false. There is no superiority of people with lighter skin. So it’s important to see it as, really, it’s a disease because it&#8217;s an attack on the truth.”
Continuing:
“Whiteness is not true, in terms of what it imposes on us in our culture and our society. And then racism is a symptom of the disease of whiteness, really. And that’s just saying where it starts and where it leads to.” 
According to his university biography, Egerton is an instructor in the Department of Peace and Conflict Studies and has taught at UNC since 2016.

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>.

<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>

<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.

&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 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.”

Anne McClintock is Princeton University’s <a href="https://gss.princeton.edu/people/anne-mcclintock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A. Barton Hepburn Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies</a>. She’s also an Affiliated Faculty for the Princeton Environmental Institute and Department of English and serves on the Executive Committee of the Program in American Studies.

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.

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.”

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.’”

Gabrie’l Atchison is the instructor for AAS 220/GSS 229: Body Politics: Black Queer Visibility and Representation at Princeton University. The <a href="https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?term=1234&amp;courseid=016604" target="_blank" rel="noopener">class description</a> states that the curriculum will “examine Black LGBTQ+ representation across various media including documentaries, television, social media, and literature.”

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>

 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Independently minded…”</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.

Princeton’s Office of Communications <a href="https://www.princeton.edu/news/2022/06/30/wherry-appointed-vice-dean-diversity-and-inclusion-princetons-office-dean-faculty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published Wherry’s appointment</a> in an announcement wherein the university president said, “‘After spending time with Professor Wherry and learning more about the impact and interventions of his scholarship, [and] his profound commitment to educating our students…he struck me as the ideal colleague to augur our efforts in fulfilling the vision of the vice dean for diversity and inclusion.’”

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.”

“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://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.”

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 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.”

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.

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.”

“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.jjay.cuny.edu/faculty/danny-shaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Danny Shaw</a> is an Adjunct Lecturer at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY). Shaw’s biography says he “teaches Latin American and Caribbean Studies and Race, Ethnicity, Class and Gender.” His areas of expertise include “Gangs &amp; Social Order,” “Incarceration,” and “Racial &amp; Social Justice.”
In June 2023, Shaw wrote an op-ed for <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/as-us-considers-reoccupying-haiti-history-shows-occupation-is-the-root-problem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Truthout.org</a> where he examined the historical relationship between Haiti and the United States. He ultimately blamed the U.S. “occupation” for the nation’s economic downfall and increased poverty and violence. 
In June 2023, Shaw also participated in a <a href="https://youtu.be/pgEFx-BNNgo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">panel discussion</a> where he shared how he grew up with “international revolutionaries” and socialist/Marxist ideologies. When asked about America’s economic system and the “war on drugs,” Shaw stated:
“&#8230;It’s the generational trauma that capitalism imposes on us and then addiction—as Malcolm X laid out, we reach for the wine, for the [heroin], for this and that—because we’re in so much pain from that generational and historical trauma…”
During the discussion, Shaw said he believes Americans should study the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Black-Panther-Party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black Panther Party</a>, a predominately African-American, radical, Marxist group that sought to abolish capitalism. Quoting a <a href="https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/workers/black-panthers/1970/dope.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">former Panther idiom</a>, Shaw said, “Dope plus capitalism equals genocide.”
After the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack against Israel, Shaw was featured in <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/cuny-professor-israeli-zionists-are-genocidal-racist-arrogant-bullies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a> article titled “CUNY professor: Israeli Zionists are ‘genocidal, racist, arrogant bullies.’” The Fix stated:
“A cache of [Shaw’s] tweets since Hamas’ slaughter of Israelis earlier this month shows the professor exclaiming ‘no to the extermin*tion of the Palestinian people’ and that ‘all the Western imperial bullies race to stand with the Genocidal Settler Colony so they can divy up [sic] the spoils of their conquests.’”
<a href="https://www.stopantisemitism.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">StopAntisemitism.org</a> also published a tweet from Shaw on October 20 that said, “These Zi^nists are straight Babylon swine. We need to protest their neighborhoods…”

Ms. <a href="http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/faculty/taryn-fivek" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taryn Fivek</a> is an Adjunct Lecturer in the <a href="http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/department-economics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Economics</a> at <a href="http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Jay College of Criminal Justice</a> in New York City. According to her university biography, her scholarship focuses on, “uneven economic and geographic development, financialization, neoliberalism, state power, and crisis.” A belligerent activist, she frequents protests across the city and is a representative of the Workers World Party (WWP).

Formed in 1959, the <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=6vOzIPWKrwgC&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;source=gbs_ge_summary_r&amp;cad=0#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WWP is a Marxist political party</a> that draws direct inspiration from the Bolshevik Revolution and Soviet Commissar, <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Leon-Trotsky/Role-in-Soviet-government" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leon Trotsky</a>. The organization was formed in 1959 as a more radical alternative to the existing socialist and communist parties at the time. Staunchly anti-American, the WWP frequently rushes to the <a href="https://www.workers.org/2012/world/peoples_korea_0126/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defense of the North Korean dictatorship</a>, even going so far as to claim the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnzBEbuZPIw&amp;t=602s&amp;ab_channel=WorkersWorldParty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democratic People's Republic of Korea offers women more rights than Western Nations. </a>

Ms. Fivek echoes the WWP’s praise for dictators and authoritarian regimes in speeches before the party’s membership. During one meeting, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmwr7SSglhM&amp;t=8s&amp;ab_channel=WorkersWorldParty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she fondly recalled her attendance at a Venezuelan conference</a> with <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-venezuela-politics-idUSKBN14W2QP" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro</a> while praising the socialist revolution that swept over the country. A separate Buzzfeed report <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/hayesbrown/a-twitter-account-that-denies-people-are-starving-in-syria-i" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identified Ms. Fivek as the anonymous author of a blog and associated Twitter handle that defended Syrian dictator, Bashar Al-Assad</a>, who is known for brutally <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/11/world/middleeast/syria-torture-prisons.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">torturing and murdering his own citizens</a>.

The WWP further deploys its activists as a contingent of larger protests across the nation. The group is in regular attendance for the riots that <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/08/16/woman-who-destroyed-durham-confederate-statue-is-a-pro-north-korea-marxist/?utm_campaign=atdailycaller&amp;utm_source=Twitter&amp;utm_medium=Social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">topple Confederate statues</a> across the South. WWP members additionally took part in the protests that later became known as the “J20 Riots.” Descending on Washington DC in January of 2016, the WWP and other ANTIFA-affiliated groups <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170223112856/https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/protesters-who-destroyed-property-on-inauguration-day-part-of-well-organized-group/2017/01/21/096678c8-dfeb-11e6-ad42-f3375f271c9c_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trashed business, burned cars, and caused hundreds of thousands in damages</a> in the attempt to disrupt the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

Ms. Fivek has openly acknowledged her own participation alongside WWP in the destruction. In a video posted a week after the inauguration, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_d1UdOvdkg&amp;t=272s&amp;ab_channel=WorkersWorldParty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she details the party’s operations on the ground while vowing to continue fighting “every f***ing day” until they “overthrow this killer system”</a>:

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Fivek-Were-going-to-fight-every-single-day..mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Ms. Fivek routinely denounces capitalism and western nations at large in other speeches at WWP meetings. Delivering one such lecture, beneath a Soviet hammer and sickle, Ms. Fivek commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution and lauds the Communist Party's alleged contributions to world progress. She encourages the members in attendance to draw inspiration from the Soviets in order to “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJjj1EZOJzA&amp;t=402s&amp;ab_channel=SkyNewsAustralia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">smash white supremacy, abolish capitalism, and immediately implement socialism.”</a>

<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NJjj1EZOJzA" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

&nbsp;

Despite her praise, the Bolshevik Revolution and the subsequent rise of the Soviet Union cost tens of millions of lives. After overthrowing the Russian government in the fall of 1917, Vladimir Lenin immediately set up <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/red-terror-set-macabre-course-soviet-union" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a series of concentration camps, or “gulags” for political prisoners, and led the Soviet secret police in a brutal crackdown</a>—referred to as the “Red Terror”—against dissidents and political opponents. As many as one million perished before the carnage ended with the cessation of the Russian Civil War in 1921. As <a href="https://fee.org/articles/the-staggering-toll-of-the-russian-revolution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">many as 60 million people perished </a>before the total dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Representing the WWP in a separate 2017 protest, Ms. Fivek condemns President Trump’s recent decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. During her remarks, <a href="https://youtu.be/QdLUHeN5I1U?t=2645" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ms. Fivek lauds the “Palestinian Vanguard’s” violent resistance against Israel</a>, even going as far as to praise Palestinian children for participating in the struggle. She further derides Israel as, “some Zionist entity” heading the biding of globalists and big banks.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Taryn-Fivek-Palestian-Vanguard.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Towards the conclusion of her tirade, Ms. Fivek leads the crowd in chanting, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free.” The slogan was <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/291203" target="_blank" rel="noopener">popularized by terrorist groups such as the Palestinian Liberation Organization</a> (PLO). The phrase alludes to the destruction of Israel—and thus the genocide of the nation’s Jews—between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. The slogan is thought to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1948/08/02/archives/aim-to-oust-jews-pledged-by-sheikh-head-of-moslem-brotherhood-says.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">originate from the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan el-Banna</a>, who was quoted by The New York Times stating, "If the Jewish state becomes a fact, and this is realized by the Arab peoples, they will drive the Jews who live in their midst into the sea."

<a href="https://www.jjay.cuny.edu/faculty/danny-shaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Danny Shaw</a> is an Adjunct Lecturer at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY). Shaw’s biography says he “teaches Latin American and Caribbean Studies and Race, Ethnicity, Class and Gender.” His areas of expertise include “Gangs &amp; Social Order,” “Incarceration,” and “Racial &amp; Social Justice.”

In June 2023, Shaw wrote an op-ed for <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/as-us-considers-reoccupying-haiti-history-shows-occupation-is-the-root-problem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Truthout.org</a> where he examined the historical relationship between Haiti and the United States. He ultimately blamed the U.S. “occupation” for the nation’s economic downfall and increased poverty and violence. 

In June 2023, Shaw also participated in a <a href="https://youtu.be/pgEFx-BNNgo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">panel discussion</a> where he shared how he grew up with “international revolutionaries” and socialist/Marxist ideologies. When asked about America’s economic system and the “war on drugs,” Shaw stated:
“...It’s the generational trauma that capitalism imposes on us and then addiction—as Malcolm X laid out, we reach for the wine, for the [heroin], for this and that—because we’re in so much pain from that generational and historical trauma…”
During the discussion, Shaw said he believes Americans should study the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Black-Panther-Party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black Panther Party</a>, a predominately African-American, radical, Marxist group that sought to abolish capitalism. Quoting a <a href="https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/workers/black-panthers/1970/dope.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">former Panther idiom</a>, Shaw said, “Dope plus capitalism equals genocide.”

After the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack against Israel, Shaw was featured in <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/cuny-professor-israeli-zionists-are-genocidal-racist-arrogant-bullies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a> article titled “CUNY professor: Israeli Zionists are ‘genocidal, racist, arrogant bullies.’” The Fix stated:
“A cache of [Shaw’s] tweets since Hamas’ slaughter of Israelis earlier this month shows the professor exclaiming ‘no to the extermin*tion of the Palestinian people’ and that ‘all the Western imperial bullies race to stand with the Genocidal Settler Colony so they can divy up [sic] the spoils of their conquests.’”
<a href="https://www.stopantisemitism.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">StopAntisemitism.org</a> also published a tweet from Shaw on October 20 that said, “These Zi^nists are straight Babylon swine. We need to protest their neighborhoods…”

In a video clip recently released by CNN, Dr. Wen compared unvaccinated Americans to drunk drivers. You can watch the clip below:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Remaining unvaccinated &amp; going out in public is equivalent to driving under the influence. You want to be intoxicated? That’s your choice, but if you want to drive a car, that endangers others.

In her opinion, he is not doing enough to compel the unvaccinated to get vaccinated, and he needs to do even more. She argues that “the administration can and must go much further.”

One of her many complaints is that President Biden has not mandated vaccinations for plane and train travel. Dr. Wen believes the government should use its power to implement this mandate in order to “make it clear that there are consequences to remaining unvaccinated.” Dr. Wen alleges that travel is a privilege, not a right.

Dr. Wen is a huge proponent of vaccine passports. She notes that Israel and the European Union have vaccine verification methods, and the United States should as well.
Dr. Wen also thinks that all children over 12 years old should be required to be vaccinated, and the COVID vaccine should be added to the other immunization requirements for children. Dr. Wen explains how she would convince parents to vaccinate their children <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9W7IJdig7w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in this video</a>.

According to <a href="https://www.ccsu.edu/presidenttoro/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zulma R. Toro's university biography</a>, she is the first female and first Hispanic President of Central Connecticut State University (CCSU). In a Central Focus newsletter titled "<a href="https://www2.ccsu.edu/centralfocus/?article=112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In Her First 100 Days, President Toro Opens New Doors</a>," Toro stated her top priorities are "increasing enrollment, becom[ing] a real community-engaged university, and diversifying sources of funding."

Toro stands accused on multiple accounts of alleged bullying and verbal abuse toward university stakeholders. In 2019, the <a href="https://www.courant.com/politics/hc-pol-mirror-ccsu-public-shaming-20191023-r7dgafyqrncrrn6ak7f7xjg7gy-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hartford Courant reported</a>, "The leader of [CCSU]'s faculty union said the release of decades-worth of investigations into sexual misconduct allegations by President Toro 'was an attempted to threaten and intimidate faculty members.'" The Hartford said, "Toro defended her decision and shot back at the union, saying its statement 'empowers the offenders and that culture of bullying and the culture of intimidation and harassment.'"

On October 6, 2022, <a href="https://insideinvestigator.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Bigelow-Email.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a CCSU employee leaked a message</a> from Institutional Advancement president Lisa Bigelow. In the email, Bigelow said she "initially tried to resolve the matter [of bullying] by reporting the behavior in violation of the Board of Regents Code of Conduct. Feeling there was no internal safe haven [to] report violations."

On November 18, President Toro sent a campus-wide message in response to <a href="https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Central-Connecticut-CCSU-transphobic-Turning-Point-17592589.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protests against CCSU's Turning Point chapter</a>.

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

“Boyles established Drag Queen Story Hour-Arizona in 2019, a chapter of the national Drag Queen Story Hour organization…Boyles has been featured in several ‘The Art of Drag’ events alongside one of his drag queen storytellers…The most recent event occurred on Wednesday [September 20, 2023].  During the <a href="https://youtu.be/RN0Bou3wmxk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presentation</a>, Boyles said that the notion that drag shows are harmful to children was a ‘myth.’ He also said that drag queens have been long considered the leaders of LGBTQ+ communities.”

During “<a href="https://youtu.be/RN0Bou3wmxk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Art of Drag</a>” talk, Boyles claimed Drag Queen Story Hour-Arizona has been “targeted by acts of violence” and “neo-Nazis showing up to disrupt events.” He also presented what he believed to be the beginning of drag culture in America using the newspaper clip featured below:

In the “Queer Sex Ed” blog, Boyles also wrote that sex education has been traditionally racist since “black people and immigrants were typically viewed as being sexually promiscuous and aggressive and sex education was designed to keep good white kids from being ‘infected’ by them.”

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

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

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

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

<a href="https://isearch.asu.edu/profile/597528" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lorraine Moya Salas</a> is an Instructor in the <a href="https://socialwork.asu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">School of Social Work</a> at <a href="https://campus.asu.edu/dohttps://campus.asu.edu/downtown-phoenixwntown-phoenix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arizona State University - Downtown Phoenix</a>.

During a lecture in one of her courses—titled, “Foundations of Social Work”—Dr. Lorraine can be heard describing the United States as a “white supremacist system,” that was founded for the benefit of white people at the expense of Native Americans and people of color.

In the class—recorded and provided exclusively to the Professor Watchlist team by an anonymous source—Dr. Salas urges her students to confront the “implicit biases” present in themselves and American society. Claiming that stereotypes and prejudices construct implicit bias, she warns that unconscious actions can cause serious harm.

Attempting to provide an example to bolster her claim, Dr. Salas states that implicit bias causes doctors to act as if their black patients are slaves. She proceeds to cite a study that claims doctors give less pain medication to black patients as compared to white ones.

Dr. Salas alleges this is the product of the legacy of slavery; slave owners viewed blacks as subhuman and able to withstand a large amount of pain, so therefore doctors continue to believe that blacks can withstand a large amount of pain. Doctors will therefore prescribe black patients less pain medication.

&nbsp;

Dr. Salas additionally cites a study that claims teachers will call on boys more often than girls in their classrooms. She claims this as proof that teachers think boys answer questions correctly more often than girls.

&nbsp;

Throughout the lecture, Dr. Salas alleges that numerous racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in society are a result of implicit bias. She urges her students, as future social workers, to confront their own implicit biases and assigns an “implicit bias test” for them to complete before the next class.

Dr. Salas additionally claims that institutional racism produces inequality and disparities, attributing it to the legacy of slavery in the Americas. Although acknowledging that all cultures practiced slavery, she claims that no slave trade was enforced along racial lines until the Europeans did so in order to specifically oppress people of color.

Citing slavery, the genocide of Native Americans and discriminatory, Jim Crow laws, Dr. Salas claims that  America was constructed as a “white supremacist culture” for the sole benefit of white people who have maintained their “white power structures” ever since.

&nbsp;

In the accompanying slides, Dr. Salas cites Critical Race Theory to define white supremacy as a, “political or socio-economic system where white people enjoy structural advantage and rights that other racial and ethnic groups do not, both at a collective and an individual level”.

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

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Salas prior for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/888543" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Katelyn Cooper</a> is an Assistant Professor and Program Director of Biology Education Research for Arizona State University’s  Center for Biology and Society Program . 

In 2019, Cooper founded the “<a href="https://katelyncooper1.wixsite.com/bioedlab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cooper Biology Education Research Lab</a>” because she, as a gay woman, was “worried about biology research not being inclusive enough of “LGBTQ+ people,” according to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/inclusive-lab-for-lgbt-students-created-by-arizona-state-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">College Fix. </a>

Cooper is “upset that heterosexual white [men] dominate the biological sciences.” She told <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/nbc-out-proud/professor-making-biology-education-inclusive-lgbtq-undergrads-rcna28813" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a> that “The goal isn’t just to make classrooms more inclusive, she explained, but to bring more diversity to a field that has traditionally been dominated by straight white men.” 

Cooper also told NBC News her hopes for collegiate science education: “Cooper said science educators can make their classrooms more inclusive by being openly supportive of LGBTQ students.” According to Cooper, “Educators can, for example, put an inclusivity statement on their syllabus or website, foster safe environments for students to reveal their LGBTQ identities and familiarize themselves with on-campus LGBTQ resources in case students come to them for support.”

Her areas of expertise include “Feminist and Queer Theory,” “Feminist Ethics,” and “Race and Gender Politics.”

Brian’s <a href="https://jennydyckbrian.com/">website</a> goes in further detail as to what she teaches. For instance, her “Queer Bioethics” seminar course covers the challenges “LGBTQIA” people supposedly face that stem from bioethics and health policy.

The course <a href="https://webapp4.asu.edu/bookstore/viewsyllabus/2187/92008/pdf;jsessionid=CF01C07A3B0D3B971CE00A931AEA8ACD" target="_blank" rel="noopener">syllabus</a> — which  includes the “ethical issue” of “intersex children” gaining access to treatments — says:

“Some of the pressing ethical issues include access to health care and culturally competent mental health resources, treatments for intersex children, standards for blood donation from same-sex sexually active men, access to assisted reproductive technologies and adoption, health insurance coverage, violence (self and other-inflicted) toward gay and transgender youth, exclusion from clinical trials, and so-called ‘psychotherapies’ designed to change sexual orientation.”

The subjects of puberty blockers, gender diversity, transgenderism among adolescents, and gender dysphoria, are covered in the course. (See image of syllabus below):

“Through slave rebellion in Haiti, black notions of freedom, black ideas of ‘being,’ and what on thinker calls ‘black reason,’ this class aims to show that race and racism is more than a tapestry of dominion, but…a reservoir of revolutionary ideas that…transform the world.”

In response to the killing of Tyre Nichols - a black man who was arrested and beaten and later died in the custody of black police officers - Shabazz <a href="https://theconversation.com/black-police-officers-arent-colorblind-theyre-infected-by-the-same-anti-black-bias-as-american-society-and-police-in-general-198721" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an article</a> in The Conversation entitled, “Black police officers aren’t colorblind–they’re infected by the same anti-black bias as American society and police in general.”

In the article, Shabazz argued, “Policing in the U.S. has, from its inception, treated Black people as domestic enemies. From slave patrols…to the murder of George Floyd, and now the death of Nichols, law enforcement officers often have viewed black people as what…W.E.B. Du Bois called a ‘problem.’”

He continued, “It’s hard to investigate the minds of the officers who beat Nichols so savagely and say for sure what motivated them. But there is ample research that suggests anti-blackness is a factor in American policing. And black officers, agents of an institutionally racist system, are affected by this.”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/1658062" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joyce McCall</a> is an Associate Professor in the School of Music, Dance and Theatre at Arizona State University. McCall’s biography says her research “centers on how race, class and culture impact educational equity in music learning and teaching.”

<a href="https://news.asu.edu/20210721-critical-race-theory-scholar-joins-asu-school-music-dance-and-theatre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ASU News</a> announced McCall’s position in 2021, stating that she was “one of the few scholars whose music education research focuses on race and racism through critical race theory [CRT] and double consciousness theory…”

The article goes on to say that McCall was the only African-American student to earn a doctorate in music education from ASU. McCall also reportedly said that she feels she can offer “an informed perspective based on experience and expertise” that can optimize K-12 learning experiences.

In July 2022, McCall was featured in a <a href="https://www.classicfm.com/discover-music/critical-race-theory-music-education/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Classic FM article</a> titled, “Music professor breaks down [CRT] and why it’s crucial for 21st-century music education.” McCall told the publication:

“‘[CRT] is a tool that was conceptualized and born out of critical legal studies as a means to analyze, critique and to help dismantle racism…Even though…we like to think of ourselves as being more progressive and more innovative…When you look at a university curriculum in America, it gives you a really nice snapshot of Western Europe.’”

In a book called “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Marginalized-Voices-Music-Education-Talbot/dp/0415788331/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1JZJC8AXCLXQL&amp;keywords=marginalized+voices+in+music+education&amp;qid=1687280532&amp;sprefix=marginalized+voice%2Caps%2C161&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marginalized Voices in Music Education</a>,” McCall authored an introduction with the title, “Speak No Evil: Talking Race as an African American in Music Education.” McCall told “her story” about growing up in a predominantly white school and participating in band class. 

She informs readers of her experiences as an “African American in music education…whose structures and social actors attempted to silence [her] voice.” Although McCall experienced notable success and received much encouragement throughout her pursuits, she wrote: 

“Despite my professors and peers at ASU ensuring me that I was in a safe place, I didn’t believe it because I knew that outside of ASU, society viewed my voice differently and that the profession did not want to hear what I had to say. These were my perceptions…”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/3016173" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carrie Sampson</a> is an Associate Professor at Arizona State University (ASU). According to Sampson’s faculty profile, “Her research focuses on educational leadership, policy, and equity from three interrelated perspectives—democracy, community advocacy, and politics.” Sampson’s areas of expertise include “Critical Race Theory,” “Feminist Theory,” “Race and Racism in Education,” and “Social Justice in Education.”

Sampson has published several gender- and race-based articles. In 2016, Sampson <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13613324.2020.1842346?scroll=top&amp;needAccess=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">co-authored</a> “Engaging (or not) in coalition politics: a case study of Black and Latinx community advocacy toward educational equity.” In the abstract notes, Sampson et al. state: 
“We use ‘Latinx’ as a gender-neutral reference to the people of Latin-American heritage. To not negate gendered experiences, we use Latino/Latina, or Chicano/a when acknowledging individuals or past research identifying with these gendered identities … Although both ‘Black’ and ‘Latinx’ are politicized categories, we recognize the reality of the identities are diverse, intersecting, and fluid.”
In an article titled “Over 1,200 ‘Educators for Palestine’ Sign Open Letter Demanding Ceasefire,” <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/over-a-thousand-educators-for-palestine-sign-open-letter-demanding-ceasefire/#:~:text=Hundreds%20of%20academics%20from%20universities,has%20killed%20more%20than%2011%2C000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Truthout</a> gave a biased account of a statement signed by several university professors, including Sampson. The statement was crafted after the October 7 Hamas attacks against Israel. 

Truthout said, “Hundreds of academics from universities and institutions of higher learning from … across North America have signed on to a joint letter, calling on their governments to demand Israeli ceasefire in Gaza … The signers, calling themselves ‘Educators for Palestine,’ are Palestinian academics and their allies who denounce Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.”

The <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BA7ddNwiUF9ns3zJK3t-nrTpn8R4s3ZB_wbZstAo2iY/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter Sampson 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.”

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

Hill also tweeted a statement accusing artist Kid Rock of being racist:

In an August 2022 article, <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/media/2022/08/05/jemele-hill-opens-up-leaving-espns-conservative-culture/10249552002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USA Today published</a> comments from Hill about her departure from ESPN:
 “‘I wasn’t a good fit for the ‘SportsCenter’ culture. Definitely not a good fit for the management that was overseeing the ‘SportsCenter’ at the time. And I got tired. I got really tired of fighting everyday to be myself … It’s the conservative culture at ESPN and so this idea that ESPN is being run by flower children is just a lie. That’s not how it is. It’s the opposite, if anything … 
‘Once critics started seeing my face … then suddenly ESPN is too liberal because what they’re really trying to say is ‘Oh, y’all must be liberal-leaning because you got all these women and all these [b]lack people who are suddenly on my TV everyday.’”
Hill further details the ESPN incident in her book “<a href="https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250624376/uphill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Uphill</a>.”

In January 2024, <a href="https://variety.com/2024/biz/news/jemele-hill-agency-wme-1235887820/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety announced</a>, “Hill has signed with WME for representation in all areas … She is also a co-founder of Lodge Freeway Media.

Around the same time, Hill <a href="https://www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/news-jemele-hill-race-baiter-fans-slam-ex-espn-analyst-post-criticizing-lions-hc-dan-campbell-resurfaces" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went viral again</a> after past tweets resurfaced of her blaming Detroit Lions Coach Don Campbell for the lack of black head coaches in the NFL.
