<a href="https://www.slu.edu/medicine/family-medicine/mft/faculty.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Katie Heiden-Rootes</a> is an Associate Professor in the Medical Family Therapy Program at Saint Louis University. She is also the Assistant Vice President for the Division of Diversity and Innovative Community Engagement (DICE).
According to its website, <a href="https://www.slu.edu/diversity/index.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DICE’s mission</a> is to “establish a culture of inclusive excellence, equity, and human flourishing for all members of Saint Louis University and our connected communities through education, elimination, and transformation.”
DICE hosts a Diversity and Inclusion Webinar Series that examines “whiteness, anti-blackness, and anti-racism in society.” The website states:
“This is Saint Louis University’s commitment to achieving the commitment of the values rooted in Ignatian spirituality in achieving social justice and racial equality through the promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion.” 
Heiden-Rootes is also a part of the <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/slu.edu/katie-m-heiden-rootes-phd-lmft/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rainbow Research Lab</a> and the director of the <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/slu.edu/katie-m-heiden-rootes-phd-lmft/medical-family-therapy-program---faculty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rainbow Research Practicum Group</a> through the Medical Family Therapy Program. The Rainbow Research Lab’s mission is to “identify interpersonal processes in family and health care systems that promote health for marginalized and vulnerable sexual, gender, and racial minority persons.”
In March 2023, Heiden-Rootes—along with dozens of other professors—signed a “<a href="https://www.gamcstatement.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement Regarding Laws Restricting Gender Affirming Medical Care</a>.” The statement focuses on two key points:
“First, there is consensus in the field, and amongst these signatories, that gender affirming medical care is important and beneficial for many transgender youth. Second, we do not support laws restricting access to gender affirmative care.” 
The signatories conclude their <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=21908" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>:
“We write this letter to make our position on this crystal clear: The signatories below all believe, based on the current evidence, that gender affirmative care is an important part of many transgender adolescents’ overall care, and that states and health systems should not restrict access to that care.”

<a href="https://www.slu.edu/arts-and-sciences/bioethics/faculty/braswell-harold.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harold Braswell, Ph.D.</a> is an Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Programs in Health Care Ethics at Saint Louis University. According to his university profile, his research interests include bioethics, medical anthropology, history of medicine, disability studies, and medical humanities.

In November 2021, Braswell signed a <a href="https://unewsonline.com/2021/11/faculty-statement-of-solidarity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Faculty and Staff Statement of Solidarity”</a> in response to a campus event featuring Matt Walsh. The event was titled “Why The Pro-Life Movement is Center Stage in the Culture War.” According to the letter, Walsh publicly expressed that he would change the title of the talk to, “What Is A Woman? How The Trans Agenda Erases Women And Denies Reality?”

The letter says Walsh is known “for making degrading statements about LGBTQ+ identities” and claims “child-birth should not determine a person’s gender identity nor should it delegitimize their womanhood.” The statement concludes:
“We want to be clear - Matt Walsh’s viewpoints, rhetoric, and tactics do not represent the perspective of the undersigned SLU faculty and staff … We want to use the power of our position to affirm transgender and nonbinary students, in particular - we see you, you matter to us, we care for you and we hear your concerns.” 
According to the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/st-louis-university-student-faces-suspension-or-expulsion-for-advertising-matt-walsh-lecture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Examiner</a>, the Matt Walsh event did take place but was held off campus after university officials refused to provide a venue.

In September 2020, Braswell also participated in a movement known as #ScholarStrike. The event—originally planned as a walk-out on SLU’s campus—turned into a teach-in where students and faculty gathered near the SLU clock tower <a href="https://unewsonline.com/2020/09/scholar-strike-on-slus-campus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to raise awareness and educate on the topics of racism and inequality.</a>

According to The University News, Professor Braswell spoke at the event, discussing “his experiences, acknowledging the ways he has benefited from racism, and how racism can affect geriatric care in ways you may not expect.”

<a href="https://www.slu.edu/law/faculty/belinda-dantley.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Belinda Dantley</a> is a full-time faculty member and the Assistant Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the School of Law at Saint Louis University. According to her university biography, Dantley teaches Child Advocacy and is “dedicated to creating and fostering spaces for inclusive learning and diverse viewpoints.”

In February 2022, Dantley signed a “<a href="https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2.25.22%20-%20200+%20Black%20Women%20Law%20Professors%20Support%20for%20Jackson.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Strong Letter of Support from Black Women Law Professors for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson</a> to Serve as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.” The letter says “Throughout the history of the United States, laws have been created, enacted, interpreted, and enforced predominantly by white men.” The signers claim that “fairness, justice, and the Court’s legitimacy … are weakened when its justices neither look like the rest of the United States nor reflect the values of a segment of society.”

The letter also states:
“As more than 200 Black women law professors, we write to express our unequivocal support for the nomination and appointment of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson … We urge you to confirm her appointment to the Supreme Court of the United States without delay.” 
Ketanji Brown Jackson has a record of being lenient on child pornography cases. During her Supreme Court hearing, <a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/when-pressed-sen-hawley-her-lenient-record-judge-jackson-cant-respond" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senator Josh Hawley questioned Jackson</a> on a case (<a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/5057626/united-states-v-hawkins/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">United States v. Hawkins</a>) where she sentenced the defendant to three months in prison even though the probation officer recommended eighteen months. Hawley asked Jackson if she had anything to add about her decision, to which she responded “No, Senator.”

In November 2021, Dantley signed another letter titled <a href="https://unewsonline.com/2021/11/faculty-statement-of-solidarity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Faculty and Staff Statement of Solidarity”</a> in response to a campus event featuring Matt Walsh. The event was titled “Why The Pro-Life Movement is Center Stage in the Culture War.” According to the letter, Walsh publicly expressed that he would change the title of the talk to “What Is A Woman? How The Trans Agenda Erases Women And Denies Reality?”

The letter says Walsh is known “for making degrading statements about LGBTQ+ identities” and claims “child-birth should not determine a person’s gender identity nor should it delegitimize their womanhood.” The statement concludes:
“We want to be clear - Matt Walsh’s viewpoints, rhetoric, and tactics do not represent the perspective of the undersigned SLU faculty and staff … We want to use the power of our position to affirm transgender and nonbinary students, in particular - we see you, you matter to us, we care for you and we hear your concerns.” 
According to the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/st-louis-university-student-faces-suspension-or-expulsion-for-advertising-matt-walsh-lecture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Examiner</a>, the Matt Walsh event did take place but was held off campus after university officials refused to provide a venue.

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/jaime-blair.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jaime Blair</a> is a Professor of Biology and the Program Chair of Women&#8217;s, Gender &amp; Sexuality Studies at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. 
Blair was one of 125 Franklin and Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”
Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 
Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”
The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”
The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 
They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/stephanie-mcnulty.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephanie McNulty</a> is the Honorable and Mrs. John C. Kunkel Professor of Government at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. McNulty’s university profile states she is a “Latin Americanist with expertise in participatory governance, gender, decentralization, and development.”

In March 2021, McNulty co-authored an <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2021/03/12/colleges-must-acknowledge-challenges-facing-female-academics-who-juggle-work-and#.YHTMhYqX9L4.link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> about the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on equity. The authors put forth the following goal to resolve what they deem to be the lessening of diversity and equity caused by COVID-19:
“For starters, every institution must acknowledge the problem and openly address what can appear invisible and ignored to those of us living in this reality. The academy risks emerging from this pandemic with less diversity and gender equity than before unless we change course. The first step is initiating a conversation and listening. Once people have a space to talk openly about their challenges, a lot of problem solving and solutions naturally emerge.”\
McNulty was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”

Aldea Agudo’s university profile describes her academic interest in Spanish history and how it has varied through the years:
“Initially, her scholarship focused on analyzing the idealized representations of war and heroic subjects by Spanish Fascist (Falangist) propaganda in the 1940s.
“After the 2008 economic crisis, her research examined the cinematic and literary depiction of that economic crisis in Spain and how identities were negotiated in this harsh situation. 
“Currently, her work focuses on trauma informed pedagogy.”

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

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

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.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.

Warning: Profile Contains Explicit Language
<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!”

&nbsp;

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.

&nbsp;

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.

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.”

<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://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).

<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.

“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.”

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.”

<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.pdx.edu/syndication/profile/rachel-slocum">Rachel Slocum</a> is an Adjunct Assistant Professor for Geography and Urban Studies and Planning at Portland State University. 
According to her faculty profile, “Dr. Slocum has published on the US local food movement, whiteness, and anti-racism drawing on the literatures of critical food studies and race.” She writes: 
“The local food movement of the early ‘00s was predominantly white and middle class, drawing on white middle class imaginaries about farming, ‘good’ food, ‘healthy’ habits, and the value of the local while making dense white spaces in farmers’ markets, movement conferences, coops, and community supported agriculture.”
In a 2018 article titled “<a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2076-0760/7/10/192" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Climate Politics and Race in the Pacific Northwest</a>,” Slocum explores “the work of race in climate justice activism,” and hypothesizes the three following claims. The initial claim states: 
“First, owing to its origins in environmental justice, the climate justice movement derives its praxis from an analysis of systemic racism.”
She elaborates on this first hypothesis with frequent usage of the term “climate justice”:
“Climate justice (CJ) makes a moral appeal for a politics of ‘relationship’, calling for solidarity by white social justice groups, workers, and environmental organizations with community of color organizations in order to build the movement and protect against the dangerous future. However, derived from a repressive understanding of power, an essentialist sense of race, and a liberal theory of change, CJ leads activists to focus on personal white privilege and the procedural issue of who leads.”
Slocum’s second claim is that “climate justice discourse writ large argues for transformative change to confront the climate and inequality crises without commodifying the atmosphere.” Addressing this claim further, the professor writes,
“[C]limate justice organizations pursue ecological modernization—the idea that contradictions between capitalism and nature can be resolved by techno-managerial interventions such as the polluter pays principle and green technological innovation (Hajer 1995; Nugent 2011). They do so based on a distributive politics that asks for policy measures that meet the needs of racialized black and brown people who, as ‘first and worst’ affected, stand on the ‘frontline’ of climate change.”
Slocum’s final argument is that “the liberal politics of race from which these proceduralist and distributive claims emanate precludes a praxis based on a critique of racial capitalism.” In this claim, she focuses on climate organizations’ approach to capitalism, especially “green capitalism.”
“Organizations shy away from the word capitalism, not acknowledging that even green capitalism relies on structural racism to enhance accumulation by alienating, exploiting, and immiserating black, brown, and white workers while inducing ecocide.” 
She concludes by stating:
“In these ways, race works to create and limit the transformative possibilities of climate justice politics.”
In 2019, Slocum <a href="https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2019R1/Downloads/CommitteeMeetingDocument/175127" target="_blank" rel="noopener">requested</a> (see image below) that <a href="https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2019R1/Downloads/MeasureDocument/HB2007/Enrolled" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oregon House Bill 2007</a> be strengthened. The bill is described as “Relating to engine emissions; creating new provisions; (&#8230;) and declaring an emergency.”
One of Slocum’s purposes for requesting to strengthen the bill was to “[make] policy that confronts racial and class inequalities,” and lowers greenhouse emissions.

<a href="https://alexanderreidross.net/curriculum-vitae/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Alexander Reid Ross</a> is an Instructor in the <a href="https://www.pdx.edu/geography/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Geography Department</a> at <a href="https://www.pdx.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Portland State University</a>.

Dr. Ross is a supporter of anti-fascist movements—commonly referred to as “ANTIFA”— across the country. As a journalist, he regularly publishes favorable articles about far-left protests that descend into violence while writing for publications that are supportive of ANTIFA.

As <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/dhs-leaked-email-confirms-that-antifa-is-an-organized-group" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> by The Post-Millennial, leaked emails from the Department of Homeland Security show that law enforcement agencies identify ANTIFA as an organization that engages in “organized” rather than sporadic violence. Many <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/guns-knives-and-other-weapons-confiscated-from-suspects-at-portland-antifa-riot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">members arm themselves with knives and firearms</a> to violently confront conservatives at events. In the Summer of 2021, <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/us-attorneys-office-in-dc-refuses-to-investigate-attack-on-rand-paul/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">members of ANTIFA attacked Senator Rand Paul</a> and his wife as they walked through Washington D.C.

As the publication Quillete has identified, <a href="https://quillette.com/2019/05/29/its-not-your-imagination-the-journalists-writing-about-antifa-are-often-their-cheerleaders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">far-left journalists based in Portland frequently provide favorable coverage to ANTIFA</a> factions for sympathetic outlets. One such individual is Dr. Ross, who writes for prominent publications, such as VICE, The Washington Post, The Daily Beast, and the New York Times.

He has additionally written a book—titled, “Against the Fascist Creep”—in defense of ANTIFA and their confrontational tactics. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOS0O4nndb4&amp;ab_channel=FoxAlive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">While speaking at the Orange County Anarchist Book Fair in 2017 about the book,</a> he stated that “militant ways” are needed to keep Republicans and conservatives in check, comparing both to the murderous Klu Klux Klan.

&nbsp;

He further encourages members of the audience—while speaking as an “anti-fascist”—to be prepared to “get their hands dirty” when confronting fascism.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Ross-As-an-antifascist-you-have-to-get-your-hands-dirty.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Dr. has also written for publications such as the <a href="https://antifascistnews.net/2016/12/24/trump-the-fascist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">radical environmentalist magazine, Earth First!</a>, and the ANTIFA-sympathetic publication, <a href="https://itsgoingdown.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">It’s Going Down</a>.

Upon its founding in 1980 as an alternative to mainstream environmental groups, <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Earth-First" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Earth First! adopted the slogan, “No compromise in defense of Mother Earth.</a>” The organization encourages militant, direct action or “monkeywrenching” to cripple targeted industries. Members have been known to <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2018/08/04/eco-terrorists-earth-first-dakota-pipeline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sabotage pipelines</a> and <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/07/why_is_joe_biden_still_standing_by_his_mendacious_earth_first_nominee_for_bureau_of_land_management.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lumber mills, often endangering the lives of workers</a> in the process.

<a href="https://itsgoingdown.org/about/">It’s Going Down</a> is an online news site dedicated to promulgating ANTIFA’s anarchist worldview and highlighting protests with an ANTIFA Presence. Dr. Ross frequently contributes to the site in <a href="https://itsgoingdown.org/antifa-worldwide-brief-history-international-antifascism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">order to defend and praise antifascist movements</a>.

In one post, Dr. Ross<a href="https://itsgoingdown.org/responding-fascist-creep-interview-alexander-reid-ross/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> praises violent ANTIFA groups across the country,</a> including the Portland-based “Rose City Antifa.”

Rose City Antifa frequently confronts and assaults conservative protests in Portland. The group is <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2019/07/31/rose-city-antifa-claims-attack-andy-ngo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most infamously known for its attack on Andy Ngo</a>. The conservative journalist suffered a brain hemorrhage after being assaulted with <a href="https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames/status/1145126864371048448?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1145130852512387073%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2019%2F06%2Fportland-police-milkshakes-thrown-by-antifa-reportedly-made-with-quick-drying-cement%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">milkshakes filled with quick-drying cement</a>.

In his interview with Salon, he attributes the violence to Trump supporters and the presence of the police and federal officers.

During the summer months of 2020, Downtown Portland endured over <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/portland-police-declare-riot-and-dozens-arrested-on-100th-straight-night-of-protests" target="_blank" rel="noopener">100 continuous nights of riots, in which ANTIFA groups assaulted a federal courthouse, hurling Molotov cocktails while attempting to set the building on fire</a>.

<a href="https://law.vanderbilt.edu/bio/ellen-clayton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Ellen Wright Clayton</a> is a Professor of Pediatrics, Law, and Health Policy at <a href="https://www.vanderbilt.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vanderbilt University</a>. In a recorded lecture, Dr. Clayton appeared to threaten the careers of doctors who object to gender transitions for minors.
The controversy erupted when conservative commentator Matt Walsh <a href="https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1572313369528635392?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1572313523232931840%7Ctwgr%5E322297c8a90cb2b0f8613236498945ff6838e036%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fhuge-money-maker-video-reveals-vanderbilts-shocking-gender-care-threats-against-dissenting-doctors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted a series of tweets on Vanderbilt Health,</a> a hospital network affiliated with Vanderbilt University. In the thread, Walsh revealed the hospital was conducting gender transitions on minors via surgery and chemical transitions.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
BREAKING: My team and I have been investigating the transgender clinic at Vanderbilt here in Nashville. Vanderbilt drugs, chemically castrates, and performs double mastectomies on minors. But it gets worse. Here is what we found. Let&#8217;s start at the beginning.

Via the “<a href="https://www.childrenshospitalvanderbilt.org/program/pediatric-transgender-clinic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pediatric Transgender Clinic</a>,” the hospital advertises what it describes as “gender-affirming” procedures for “gender-diverse children and adolescents.” This includes elective “bottom” and “top” surgeries and hormone therapy. However, the <a href="https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1572313632587018243" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hospital allegedly removed any mention of surgeries from its “Treatments and Services” section following Walsh’s expose</a>.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Vanderbilt makes their Trans Buddies available to children, too. They make lots of &#8220;services&#8221; available to children, including chemical castration.

During a lecture on transition surgeries captured on video, Dr. Clayton addressed doctors who had “conscientious objections” to the procedures performed on minors. She warned that any doctors adhering to their religious beliefs will face “consequences” for not performing the surgeries. She further stated, “If you don’t want to do this kind of work, don’t work at Vanderbilt.”

&nbsp;
During the clinic’s first year of operation, fellow professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/shaynestaylor">Dr. Shayne Taylor</a> delivered a lecture boasting of the profit each gender-transition procedure made. Listing off various surgeries and hormone treatments, Dr. Taylor revealed that each one is a “huge money maker” for hospitals and could provide tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in income before any of the necessary “follow-ups” by patients.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Vanderbilt opened its trans clinic in 2018. During a lecture the same year, Dr. Shayne Taylor explained how she convinced Nashville to get into the gender transition game. She emphasized that it&#8217;s a &#8220;big money maker,&#8221; especially because the surgeries require a lot of &#8220;follow ups&#8221; <a href="https://t.co/zedM7HBCBe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pic.twitter.com/zedM7HBCBe</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
In her speech, Dr. Taylor referenced “top” and “bottom surgeries” performed by doctors at the clinic. This refers to double-mastectomies—or the surgical removal of both breasts—of young girls (top surgeries) and the physical removal and replacement of genitalia (bottom surgery). Hormone therapy is also cited, referring to drugs used in the transition process.
A common drug used to block puberty is called Lupron, which was <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designed to castrate sex offenders and is not approved by the FDA</a>. Even if the dosage is <a href="https://www.commonsense.news/p/top-trans-doctors-blow-the-whistle?s=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">halted mid-transition, children are still unable to undergo puberty.</a>
Vanderbilt has admitted that teenagers as young as 13 receive hormone treatment and puberty blockers at the clinic.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
But they must have forgot to delete a video from Vanderbilt Psychiatry’s Youtube channel back in 2020 which admits explicitly that they will give and have given irreversible hormone drugs to children as young as 13. <a href="https://t.co/Qn48zWoJ1N" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pic.twitter.com/Qn48zWoJ1N</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
While the clinic claims that all minors must receive parental consent, the hospital appears<a href="https://thefederalist.com/2022/07/11/vanderbilt-health-is-treating-tennessee-minors-without-parental-consent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> to have adopted a “mature minor”</a> policy, which <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2022/07/11/vanderbilt-health-is-treating-tennessee-minors-without-parental-consent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allows teenagers to undergo a procedure if they are deemed “mature” or competent by a hospital or attending physician</a>.
Prior to Walsh’s expose, the <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2022/07/11/vanderbilt-health-is-treating-tennessee-minors-without-parental-consent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hospital allegedly deleted all mention of surgeries from its “Treatments and Services” section</a>.

He alleges that much of the dysfunction in conservative states is due to the adoption or rejection or policy based upon racial resentment.

His latest book—titled, “<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/its-time-to-talk-about-being-white-in-america/2019/04/29/20aed83a-6a9b-11e9-be3a-33217240a539_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America’s Heartland</a>”— alleges that much of what animated conservatives from the Tea-Party was the election of a black President—Barack Obama—in a move he describes as a, “white backlash.” He further states this was codified with the election of Donald Trump - of whom Dr. Metzl <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/its-time-to-talk-about-being-white-in-america/2019/04/29/20aed83a-6a9b-11e9-be3a-33217240a539_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describes as a skilled manipulator of “whiteness.”</a>

In an interview with the publication, VOX, Dr. Metzl alleges that <a href="https://www.vox.com/2019/3/19/18236247/dying-of-whiteness-trump-politics-jonathan-metzl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white anxiety to minorities causes them to reject policies to the detriment of their own health</a>. He specifically cites opposition to Obamacare, alleging that this cost GOP voters literal weeks off their lifespan. When asked why white voters do not align with their economic counterparts in the minority community, Dr. Metzl responded that whites feel a “psychological benefit” and sense of prestige for obtaining whiteness, or privilege over minorities.

Another policy cited in the book <a href="https://www.vox.com/2019/3/19/18236247/dying-of-whiteness-trump-politics-jonathan-metzl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">is opposition to gun control or support of the second amendment.</a> Dr. Metzl alleges that there is a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2013/05/08/us/study-gun-homicide/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passage of gun control legislation and a decrease in crime</a> serve as a direct correlation between an easing of gun restrictions in conservative states and a sharp increase in gun deaths.

At the time of the book's publication in 2019, <a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/commentary/here-are-8-stubborn-facts-gun-violence-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener">America was in the midst of a multi-decade reduction of gun violence</a>. Suicide by gun violence had been cut in half over the past 2 decades. University of Chicago economist John Lott's landmark study of gun crime—titled, “More Guns, Less Crime,”—further demonstrated there is no link between the two.

Dr. Metzl had previously written about gun owenership’s connection to “whiteness.” In one op-ed for MSNBC, <a href="https://www.jonathanmetzl.com/when-shootings-happen-gender-has-to-be-part-of-the-conversation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Metzl wrote there is a correlation between the “male gender, hegemonic whiteness, and gun violence</a>.” In the same paper, he alludes that males are responsible for mass shootings, stating that, “nearly every shooter over the past 30 years has been male.”

He further alleges that males feel “entitled” to relationships, financial success, social status, and other items as part of American culture. He believes that their failure to obtain these things leads to men lashing out and committing violent crimes. Dr. Metzl urges others to look at the link between gender and mass shootings, positing a link between “entitled masculinity” and gun-ownership.

In a separate interview for, “Dying of Whiteness” for The Guardian, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/aug/08/racism-gun-control-dying-of-whiteness" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Metzl states that American Gun culture is “entwined” with white privilege</a>. He repeats this allegation for Salon, <a href="https://www.salon.com/2019/04/30/jonathan-metzl-on-the-moment-white-nationalists-invaded-his-d-c-bookstore-discussion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stating that supporting the second amendment is akin to being “white”</a>:

In addition to his professorial duties, Dr. Metzl frequently makes prominent appearances, including on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOyk7VK1A24&amp;t=1s&amp;ab_channel=DyingofWhitenessbyJonathanM.Metzl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MSNBC</a>, <a href="https://www.dyingofwhiteness.com/video?wix-vod-video-id=1217c26822c344639abb0e82b525b64d&amp;wix-vod-comp-id=comp-juii02ne" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcppSGs6tTA&amp;ab_channel=RealTimewithBillMaher" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HBO</a>.

In her speech, Dr. Taylor referenced “top” and “bottom surgeries” performed by doctors at the clinic. This refers to double-mastectomies—or the surgical removal of both breasts—of young girls (top surgeries) and the physical removal and replacement of genitalia (bottom surgery). Hormone therapy is also cited, referring to drugs used in the transition process.

A common drug used to block puberty is called Lupron, which was <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designed to castrate sex offenders and is not approved by the FDA</a>.

In the introduction, Khan states:
“Feminists are put on the defensive for their failure to achieve a wider and deeper base, to build a movement for social change with ‘grassroots’ authenticity. They are accused of dependency on [W]estern aid funding to run their projects and NGOs, thereby espousing a women’s rights agenda that is not indigenous and subject to manipulation by [W]estern political interests.”
Since the Hamas attack against Israel on October 7, 2023, Khan—who refers to herself as a “wokescientist”—published antisemitic memes on Instagram:

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>”

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

<a href="https://isearch.asu.edu/profile/597528" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lorraine Moya Salas</a> is an Instructor in the <a href="https://socialwork.asu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">School of Social Work</a> at <a href="https://campus.asu.edu/dohttps://campus.asu.edu/downtown-phoenixwntown-phoenix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arizona State University - Downtown Phoenix</a>.

During a lecture in one of her courses—titled, “Foundations of Social Work”—Dr. Lorraine can be heard describing the United States as a “white supremacist system,” that was founded for the benefit of white people at the expense of Native Americans and people of color.

In the class—recorded and provided exclusively to the Professor Watchlist team by an anonymous source—Dr. Salas urges her students to confront the “implicit biases” present in themselves and American society. Claiming that stereotypes and prejudices construct implicit bias, she warns that unconscious actions can cause serious harm.

Attempting to provide an example to bolster her claim, Dr. Salas states that implicit bias causes doctors to act as if their black patients are slaves. She proceeds to cite a study that claims doctors give less pain medication to black patients as compared to white ones.

Dr. Salas alleges this is the product of the legacy of slavery; slave owners viewed blacks as subhuman and able to withstand a large amount of pain, so therefore doctors continue to believe that blacks can withstand a large amount of pain. Doctors will therefore prescribe black patients less pain medication.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Lorraine-Moya-Salas-Part-1_updated.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Dr. Salas additionally cites a study that claims teachers will call on boys more often than girls in their classrooms. She claims this as proof that teachers think boys answer questions correctly more often than girls.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Lorraine-Moya-Salas-Part-1_2.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Throughout the lecture, Dr. Salas alleges that numerous racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in society are a result of implicit bias. She urges her students, as future social workers, to confront their own implicit biases and assigns an “implicit bias test” for them to complete before the next class.

Dr. Salas additionally claims that institutional racism produces inequality and disparities, attributing it to the legacy of slavery in the Americas. Although acknowledging that all cultures practiced slavery, she claims that no slave trade was enforced along racial lines until the Europeans did so in order to specifically oppress people of color.

Citing slavery, the genocide of Native Americans and discriminatory, Jim Crow laws, Dr. Salas claims that  America was constructed as a “white supremacist culture” for the sole benefit of white people who have maintained their “white power structures” ever since.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Lorraine-Moya-Salas-Part-2_updated.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

In the accompanying slides, Dr. Salas cites Critical Race Theory to define white supremacy as a, “political or socio-economic system where white people enjoy structural advantage and rights that other racial and ethnic groups do not, both at a collective and an individual level”.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1692 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/3b-SelfAwarenessAndRaceEthnitiy-student-copy.pptx-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="326" />

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

<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.”

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

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

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…”

“We use ‘Latinx’ as a gender-neutral reference to the people of Latin-American heritage. To not negate gendered experiences, we use Latino/Latina, or Chicano/a when acknowledging individuals or past research identifying with these gendered identities … Although both ‘Black’ and ‘Latinx’ are politicized categories, we recognize the reality of the identities are diverse, intersecting, and fluid.”
In an article titled “Over 1,200 ‘Educators for Palestine’ Sign Open Letter Demanding Ceasefire,” <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/over-a-thousand-educators-for-palestine-sign-open-letter-demanding-ceasefire/#:~:text=Hundreds%20of%20academics%20from%20universities,has%20killed%20more%20than%2011%2C000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Truthout</a> gave a biased account of a statement signed by several university professors, including Sampson. The statement was crafted after the October 7 Hamas attacks against Israel. 

Truthout said, “Hundreds of academics from universities and institutions of higher learning from … across North America have signed on to a joint letter, calling on their governments to demand Israeli ceasefire in Gaza … The signers, calling themselves ‘Educators for Palestine,’ are Palestinian academics and their allies who denounce Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.”

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

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

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

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

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

On August 30, 2024, Lober was featured in The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/u-s-hates-women-faces-future-of-cannibalism-forced-breeding-camps-asu-event/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> entitled “U.S. ‘hates women,’ faces future of cannibalism, ‘forced breeding campus’: ASU event.” Lober partnered with ASU Professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/jennyirish" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jenny Irish</a> who <a href="https://asuevents.asu.edu/event/jenny-irishs-hatch-speculative-future-reproductive-rights?eventDate=2024-08-28&amp;id=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">organized an event</a> to discuss abortion.

According to The Fix, “Lober opened the one-hour moderated discussion by stating she ‘got into this space because the United States hates women and everything the female body does.’” 

The School Board Watchlist did not uncover the original audio from the event. However, <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/cannibalism-forced-breeding-professors-fearmonger-abortion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Live Action </a>pointed out:
“Lober also argued that she is discouraging her children from having children, and said the decline in birth rates is a good thing—because the planet is overpopulated. Yet, ironically, the ASU <a href="https://asuevents.asu.edu/event/jenny-irishs-hatch-speculative-future-reproductive-rights?eventDate=2024-08-28&amp;id=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">events page</a> states that Lober’s ‘research is focused on establishing lactation and breastfeeding as a public health imperative’ and that she ‘is dedicated to working for a better world for families’...How, exactly does not create a better world for families or better health for children by encouraging abortion?”
Conservative lawyer and journalist, Jonathan Turley, <a href="https://jonathanturley.org/2024/09/01/the-united-states-hates-women-asu-event-offers-dystopian-anti-capitalist-vision-of-america/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mentioned</a> Lober in an article titled “‘The United States Hates Women’: ASU Event Offer Dystopian, Anti-Capitalist Vision of America.” Reflecting on Lober’s resolution for a future America without abortion, Turley said she called for the audience “to help ‘dismantle capitalism’ and ‘elect a female president.’”

Since the event, Lober has not commented publicly on her role in the conversation with Irish. Based on mainstream media reactions, both professors are committed to espousing anti-American and anti-family values.

In a 2023 <a href="https://www.kjzz.org/2024-04-30/content-1878588-stephen-king-seen-just-horror-author-asu-professor-argues-hes-much-more" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with 91.5 KJZZ Phoenix, Irish discussed her thoughts on horror author Stephen King, whose books are currently being <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/stephen-king-florida-book-ban-viral-post-1947396" target="_blank" rel="noopener">removed from school libraries</a> in Florida. The KJZZ host asked Irish to comment on her “associations” with the King novel “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Carrie-Stephen-King/dp/1984898108/ref=asc_df_1984898108/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=692875362841&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=14364719003284224040&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9061155&amp;hvtargid=pla-2281435178818&amp;psc=1&amp;mcid=d9f4354e402c38979d3d64dbfc2a5893&amp;hvocijid=14364719003284224040-1984898108-&amp;hvexpln=73" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carrie</a>”—the story of a high school outcast with telekinetic powers who eventually murders her bullying classmates by setting the town on fire. 

Irish responded to the interviewer stating:
“‘Carrie’ is amazing in the fact that [it] was written 50 years ago, but there’s so much about it that feels pretty tragically contemporary. If Carrie White had had access to a decent sex ed class, the town of Chamberlain, Maine, would still be standing…[I]t’s not hard to think about that in the midst I feel of our current kind of sociopolitical moment, where there’s such an assault on bodily autonomy and considerations of the rights of people to define their own identity and their own bodies and their relationships to them.”
On August 30, 2024, Irish was featured in The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/u-s-hates-women-faces-future-of-cannibalism-forced-breeding-camps-asu-event/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> entitled “U.S. ‘hates women,’ faces future of cannibalism, ‘forced breeding campus’: ASU event.” In <a href="https://lincolncenter.asu.edu/wb-workshop-HATCH" target="_blank" rel="noopener">partnership</a> with ASU Professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angelalober" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angela Lober</a>, Irish <a href="https://asuevents.asu.edu/event/jenny-irishs-hatch-speculative-future-reproductive-rights?eventDate=2024-08-28&amp;id=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hosted an event</a> centered on releasing her new book “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Hatch/9sHtEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;printsec=frontcover">Hatch</a>,” a collection of prose poems exploring the future of the human race surviving through AI.

According to <a href="https://nupress.northwestern.edu/9780810146969/hatch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northwestern University Press</a>:
“The prose poems in Jenny Irish’s newest collection, Hatch, trace the consciousness of an artificial womb that must confront the role she has played in the continuation of the dying of the human species. This apocalyptic vision engages with the most pressing concerns of this contemporary sociopolitical moment: reproductive rights, climate crises, and mass extinction; gender and racial bias in healthcare technology…and the possibilities and dangers of artificial intelligence.”
In the following excerpt, Irish appears to describe an abortion from the artificial womb’s perspective.

The Professor Watchlist did not recover any original video of the “Hatch” presentation. However, <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/u-s-hates-women-faces-future-of-cannibalism-forced-breeding-camps-asu-event/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a> wrote, “Irish also talked about transgenderism and said there is an ‘all-out assault on the trans community and people’s ability to self-identify.’ It is disgusting, immoral, and wrong,’ she said.”

*RECOMMENDED PROFESSOR*
<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/843137" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Owen Anderson</a> is a Professor in the School of Humanities at Arizona State University. He teaches courses focused on philosophy, morality, and religion. As a Christian in a secular institution, Dr. Anderson has been subjected to discrimination and exclusion by the college. 

On September 20, 2024, <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/christian-professors-intro-to-christianity-class-torpedoed-at-asu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix featured</a> Anderson in an article titled “Christian professor’s ‘Intro to Christianity’ class torpedoed at ASU.” Quoting Dr. Anderson’s phone interview, the Fix wrote:
“If a class does not have a general education designation, most students won’t enroll and his college will be hesitant to offer it because it won’t attract many students.” 
Dr. Anderson’s Intro to Christianity class was canceled because he said ASU “[doesn’t] want it taught from a Christian perspective.” He provided The Fix with a member from ASU <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/juliasarreal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associate Professor Julia Sarreal</a> who said, “The syllabus reflects a Christian way of teaching Christianity, which is to say the course does not adequately provide the kids of critical, reflective, disciplinary skills that students need.”

Dr. Anderson’s rebuttal to Sarreal’s and other’s concerns about the course can be read <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ONMoLSpqoWzMlY84nc4fThVk7RKCCNPHZZwnJKUPnS8/edit">here</a>.

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

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

Profile in progress. Please check back.

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

*Following coverage by the Professor Watchlist Team, Yeh is no longer listed as the Director of the Confucius Institute at UC-Davis.*
&nbsp;

<a href="https://ealc.ucdavis.edu/people/michelle-yeh">Michelle Yeh</a> is the former Director of the Confucius Institute at the University of California - Davis. The Confucius Institute is funded by the Chinese Communist Party and serves as a focal point for the dissemination of propaganda and foreign espionage on American campuses.

China is the greatest existential threat that the United States currently faces. Through military, governmental, and financial fronts, the authoritarian Chinese government seeks to supplant the United States as the world’s sole superpower. None of their tactics may be more perfidious than the placement of Confucius Institutes on campuses across the country. Currently, Confucius Institutes operate at American universities, high schools, and even elementary schools, serving as focal points of China’s espionage against our country. China has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to indoctrinate students with state-sponsored, communist propaganda, matched by university funds that are enabled by your hard-earned tax dollars.

<a href="https://law.ucdavis.edu/people/mary-ziegler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mary Ziegler</a> is a Martin Luther King Law professor at the University of California, Davis. According to her university biography, “she is an expert on the law, history, and politics of reproduction, health care, and conservatism in the United States from 1945 to the present.”

At Hofstra University’s Critical Spiritualities lecture on September 28, 2022, <a href="https://www.thehofstrachronicle.com/category/news/2022/10/11/law-professor-discusses-how-the-us-lost-the-consitutional-right-to-abortion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hofstra Chronicle reports</a> that Ziegler spoke about the history of the anti-abortion movement and its success in the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. The title of her lecture was “Canary in the Coalmine: What it Means to Lose a Constitutional Right.” The constitutional right that Ziegler claims Americans have lost is the right to an abortion. 

In the preface of her book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dollars-Life-Anti-Abortion-Republican-Establishment/dp/0300260148" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dollars for Life: The Anti-Abortion Movement and the Fall of the Republican Establishment</a> (2022), Ziegler claims that:
"[T]he American anti-abortion movement contributed far more to the rise of Donald Trump and the transformation of the GOP than we often think. Scholars have traced how an ascendant form of Christian nationalism–the belief that the United States was and always should be a Christian nation–was needed for Trump to edge out Hillary Clinton in 2016. But the influence of the anti-abortion movement went much futher, and it had everything to do with money in U.S. politics."
In her Hofstra lecture, Ziegler addressed the same topics as those in Dollars for Life.

She claims that the anti-abortion movement began in the Catholic Church, and became an important part of the Republican Party’s agenda in the 1980s. Ziegler argues that the religious-right could not do much constitutionally to challenge the LGBTQ+ movement and no-fault divorce, so they focused mainly on abortion and securing fetal constitutional rights. To achieve this end, “The answer they came up with was… controlling the Supreme Court.”

According to The Hofstra Chronicle, Ziegler also claims that the combination of super PACS, and the “packing of the court with justices that would be willing to overturn Roe v. Wade” led to the overturning of the 1973 ruling. She suggests that the presumed 14th Amendment right for same-sex couples to marry could be targeted next. Yet, The Hofstra Chronicle reports that Ziegler expressed “optimism for the future [by mentioning] Kansas’s rejection of an anti-abortion amendment.” At the close of her lecture, she predicted that “what comes next, in a way, is going to be a stress test for democracy.”

<a href="https://education.ucdavis.edu/faculty-profile/faheemah-n-mustafaa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Faheemah Mustafaa</a> is an Assistant Professor in the School of Education at the University of California, Davis.

Mustafaa’s university profile states that her “interdisciplinary research primarily focuses on: (1) understanding and supporting the academic performance and holistic well-being of Black/African American and other youth with historically marginalized identities; and (2) studying the identity-related beliefs and pedagogies of K-12 and postsecondary educators.”

According to a tip sent to <a href="https://www.yaf.org/news/uc-davis-professor-assigns-white-privilege-checklist-warns-it-may-be-triggering/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Young America’s Foundation (YAF</a>), Muastafaa assigned a “white privilege” checklist in a class about “White Racial Identity Development and Purpose.”

According to YAF, “Mustafaa presented slides that defined racism. The slides focused mostly on subjects like ‘White Racial Identity/Identity Development.’ These slides told students how they could identify their whiteness and how to make sure they are “‘less white.’”

After the lecture, Mustafaa sent the class an email accompanied by a link to a white privilege checklist (which is no longer available.)

Some of the privileges include: 

-“​​If I want to, I can be pretty sure of finding a publisher for this piece on white privilege.”

-“If a traffic cop pulls me over or if the IRS audits my tax return, I can be sure I haven’t been singled out because of my race.”

-“I am not made acutely aware that my shape, bearing or body odor will be taken as a reflection on my race.”

-“I can choose blemish cover or bandages in “flesh” color and have them more or less match my skin.”

-“My children are given texts and classes which implicitly support our kind of family unit and do not turn them against my choice of domestic partnership.”

YAF also reports that Mustafaa had not viewed every item on the list of privileges.  The professor said, 
 “Also, I have not thoroughly read through them [i.e. the privileges] all and can not vouch for the accuracy one way or another…However, the few that I have read seem relevant based on my current knowledge of social systems in the U.S…”

<a href="https://x.com/jemmaisokeh?s=21&amp;t=U2iP9ZH-eKHmK5RmrZtSCg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jemma Decristo</a> is an assistant professor of American Studies at the University of California-Davis. Decristo is a biological male who claims to be a transgender woman. His Twitter account is only accessible to confirmed followers and the university’s biographies and webpages for him were removed or disabled in October 2023.

Following the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023, Decristo <a href="https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1715040377336725764" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> in favor of attacking US-based “zionist journalists” as well as their families and kids. He used cleaver, axe, and blood drop emojis to express his point (see image below). Chris Rufo, a journalist of the <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/person/christopher-f-rufo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">City Journal</a>, obtained the controversial tweet from the professor’s account and posted an image of it on Twitter.

According to <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/online/uc-davis-professor-under-fire-over-posts-threatening-zionist-journalists-and-their-families/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mediaite</a>, Decristo’s university profile stated the following before it was disabled by the university:
“I am an Assistant Professor in American Studies. I focus on the interplay between sound, race, gender, and embodiment.”
Mediaite also reports that Decristo tweeted his approval of Hamas’ actions in a response to a report of protestors surrounding the Israeli embassy (see image below):

Kerson received the following response:
“We reject all forms of violence and discrimination, as they are antithetical to the values of our university. We strive to foster a climate of equity and justice built on mutual understanding and respect for all members of the community.”

<a href="https://english.calpoly.edu/faculty/hislop">Maya Hislop</a> is an Assistant Professor in the English Department at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Her research interests include “African American Literature, 20th &amp; 21st century, Gender studies, sexual violence/misogynoir 
Carceral studies…race, gender, and class.” 
In her faculty profile, Hislop writes of her upcoming book: 
“My book, Bodies in the Middle: Black Women, Sexual Violence, and Justice (forthcoming University of South Carolina Press 2025) argues that to place black women at the center of a twentieth and twenty-first century study of sexual violence in literature is also to interrogate justice.” 
She further stated:
“To engage with the full spectrum of ‘justice’&#8211;social justice, anti-justice, prison abolitionism, Afro-pessimistic justice, and pedagogical justice&#8211;I argue that I must approach the issues of race and sexual violence from two vantage points which also mimic the two-part structure of the book: history and literature. In part one I relate a little-known twentieth century history of anti-rape and anti-racist movements. In part two, I examine specific Black novels that center Black women, sexual violence, and legal justice broadly defined.”
Hislop sent a letter to her students in light of a December 5 Turning Point USA <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/cal-poly-professor-warns-students-not-to-attend-dangerous-tpusa-event-with-chloe-cole-billboard-chris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">event</a> with de-transitioner Chloe Cole and anti-transgender activist Billboard Chris. In the letter, Hislop notifies her students in a cautionary manner, accusing Turning Point USA of potentially “spreading lies about the trans community.” (See image below). She also invited them to a “counter-event” hosted by the Cal Poly Pride Center.

<a href="https://mitchellhamline.edu/biographies/person/lisa-needham/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lisa Needham</a> is a professor at the Mitchell Hamline School of Law. She teaches appellate advocacy courses and works as an editor and writer with a focus on law practice management technology, diversity in the law, access to justice, and more.
According to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=20486" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, Needham participated in an op-ed for <a href="https://rewirenewsgroup.com/2022/10/18/abortion-bans-are-creating-free-speech-battle-in-schools/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rewire News Group</a> and argued that when it comes to abortion, conservatives “control speech.”
Needham’s publication is titled “<a href="https://rewirenewsgroup.com/2022/10/18/abortion-bans-are-creating-free-speech-battle-in-schools/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abortion Bans Are Creating Free Speech Battles in Schools</a>.” She argues: “With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, conservatives scored a victory decades in the making: controlling pregnant people’s bodies. They’re not satisfied with just that, though. The next step is to control any speech they don’t like…” 
In this publication, Needham also criticizes Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE): “Sasse is a big fan of ‘religious liberty’ when it comes to dismantling the line between church and state, so his hiring likely doesn’t bode well for a university already under siege by conservative elected officials…” 
The publication is concluded with her claim that conservatives just protect their own freedom of speech. “[M]odern conservatism has become very comfortable with ‘free speech for me, but not for thee,’ and they’ve captured enough of the federal courts that they’ll continue to get their way… Meanwhile, expect more public university systems in red states to start being tentative, worried, and self-censored when talking about reproductive rights or racial justice.”

<a href="https://www.umt.edu/academics/faculty/tobin-shearer.php">Dr. Tobin Shearer</a> is a Professor of African-American Studies at the University of Montana. He argues all statistics showing differences between races (such as economic differences, health differences, etc.) are traceable to systemic racism. In a Youtube video, Shearer says “To be white in America is to claim an identity that attempts to be de-racialized and is predicated upon the receipt of power and privilege simply on one’s appearance: a racialized appearance from the fundamental equations that whiteness equals access to power and privilege based on one’s racial identity.”

Thank you for your note. On behalf of Chancellor Girod, I want you to know that we agree with you that the instructor’s comment was entirely inappropriate. Violent rhetoric is not acceptable in our classrooms.
Earlier today, we announced that the instructor is no longer with the university. You can view that announcement at the following link: <a href="https://provost.ku.edu/memos/20241011-0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://provost.ku.edu/memos/20241011-0</a>
More broadly, I want to assure you that this instructor&#8217;s behavior is not typical or representative of the classroom environment at our university. KU prides itself on having world-class educators who are adept at leading respectful discourse in their classrooms. This week&#8217;s situation was an unfortunate exception to that.
 Thank you for writing.

“The University of Kansas must fire this professor immediately. Anyone who says that people who don’t vote for Kamala Harris should be ‘lined up and shot’ is completely deranged and shouldn’t be around students not in academia. This promotion of political violence should be met with quick action by KU.”
The Professor Watchlist contacted KU Chancellor Douglas A. Girod for comment but didn’t hear back. As expected, the media relations director—who publicly confirmed the validity of the video—gave a scripted reply:

The Professor Watchlist contacted Chancellor Douglas A. Girod after viewing a <a href="https://x.com/nedryun/status/1843991931530993667?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1843991931530993667%7Ctwgr%5E2973eba6b48601cd138d7bca34c1c55b59a9c9bd%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kctv5.com%2F2024%2F10%2F09%2Fku-instructor-video-men-who-think-women-arent-smart-enough-be-president-should-be-shot%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">viral video</a> of KU Lecturer Phillip Lowcock calling for the execution of men who refused to vote for Kamala Harris. On Friday, October 11, Associate Vice Chancellor of Public Affairs Joe Monaco <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/10tCLKlbA9XSp2kE-HMC5td6zr0W5aPmx/view?usp=sharing">reached out with the following statemen</a>t:

Thank you for your note. On behalf of Chancellor Girod, I want you to know that we agree with you that the instructor’s comment was entirely inappropriate. Violent rhetoric is not acceptable in our classrooms.

Earlier today, we announced that the instructor is no longer with the university. You can view that announcement at the following link: <a href="https://provost.ku.edu/memos/20241011-0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://provost.ku.edu/memos/20241011-0</a>

More broadly, I want to assure you that this instructor's behavior is not typical or representative of the classroom environment at our university. KU prides itself on having world-class educators who are adept at leading respectful discourse in their classrooms. This week's situation was an unfortunate exception to that.

 Thank you for writing.

 Respectfully,

  Joe Monaco

Associate Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs

University of Kansas
