<a href="https://www.bu.edu/ssw/profile/phillipe-copeland/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Phillipe Copeland</a> is a Clinical Associate Professor at Boston University’s School of Social Work. His specialties include “Theories of Justice, Racial Justice,” “Black Lives Matter” and “Abolition of Mass Incarceration.”
Copeland also serves as a faculty lead for education and training at the <a href="https://www.bu.edu/antiracism-center/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston University Center for Antiracist Research</a>. The Center’s mission is to “convene researchers and practitioners from various disciplines to figure out novel and practical ways to understand, explain and solve seemingly intractable problems of racial inequality and injustice.”
Copeland <a href="https://youtu.be/CWnHNPFrtIA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared on City Line</a> to provide commentary on why Americans should be talking more about racism in popular culture. Copeland said:
“&#8230;[W]e can really think of pop culture as another kind of classroom….And so what we see, what we hear, what we experience through pop culture…can shape our perceptions of ourselves, the world, and the problems that we need to solve—problems like racism.”
<iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CWnHNPFrtIA" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
During the interview, Copeland shared “The Copeland Test”—a test he developed that allegedly detects antiracist themes in movies and TV shows. The assessment includes the following three categories:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Racism is portrayed as a systemic issue</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">People of color are not stereotyped or victims</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">White people working in solidarity with people of color</li>
</ul>
Copeland explained:
“Often people believe that racism is just a matter of blatant acts by whites of bigotry, discrimination or hatred. Sometimes racism looks like that. But sometimes it looks like policies or practices or belief systems that have similar effects to discrimination…An example [would be] the many voter suppression laws…[that] make it harder for black people to vote.”
In January 2023, Copeland published an article in the <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/01/03/opinion/art-denial/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston Globe</a> titled, “The art of denial: How racism deniers obscure the reality of racism, minimizing its significance.” He claims that racism denial is a “political strategy” perpetuated by those who “attempt to convince people racism is no longer an issue.”
Drawing on Ibram X. Kendi’s “How to be an Antiracist” philosophy, Copeland outlines racism denial into eight forms of evidence, including “minimizing,” “myopia” and “revising history.” The full list with definitions can be found <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/01/03/opinion/art-denial/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.

<a href="http://www.bu.edu/afam/faculty/saida-grundy/">Dr. Saida Grundy</a> a professor at Boston University tweeted about white, college men being a ‘problem population’ according to Campus Reform. She tweeted, “Every MLK week I commit myself to not spending a dime in white-owned businesses. and every year i find it nearly impossible.” Her tweets criticizing white people forced the president of the university to write a letter on the Boston University website addressing the tweets.

<a href="https://www.bu.edu/antiracism-center/profile/ibram-x-kendi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ibram X. Kendi</a>—Boston University professor, political commentator and author of “<a href="https://www.ibramxkendi.com/how-to-be-an-antiracist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How to be Antiracist</a>”—allegedly fired racial minorities from the Center of Antiracist Research (CAR).

Kendi, who founded CAR after the death of George Floyd, published a statement on Twitter explaining his decision to terminate several employees:
“There will always be people who critique the job someone else is doing—but I stand by my decision to take the long view for CAR, especially when racial and social justice organizations are under attack. I am proud of the many accomplishments of CAR’s talented and committed staff…”

In an interview with the Boston Globe, Kendi claimed that the layoffs “represent a strategic shift from operating as a high-growth startup pursuing many different projects…to becoming the world’s first residential fellowship program for antiracist intellectuals.”

In November, <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/kendis-antiracist-center-mostly-fired-black-and-latino-employees-analysis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a> conducted a formal review and found that Kendi fired “four black employees, four Hispanics, two Indians, one Asian and one Middle Eastern employee.”

The College Fix concluded, “One reason may be that the center was more inclined to hire non-white staff from the beginning. But according to Kendi, any policy that results in racial disparities flows from and is proof of racism.”

On November 7, the Boston Globe <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/11/07/metro/boston-university-audit-ibram-kendi-antiracist-center/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that Boston University’s internal audit—a review of CAR’s $40 million portfolio—showed no misappropriation or mismanagement of funds.

Dr. <a href="https://www.bu.edu/antiracism-center/profile/ibram-x-kendi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ibram X Kendi</a> is the Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Humanities at <a href="https://www.bu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston University</a>. He also served as the <a href="https://www.radcliffe.harvard.edu/people/ibram-x-kendi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frances B. Cashin Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University</a>. He is best known for authoring the New York Times bestseller, “<a href="https://www.ibramxkendi.com/how-to-be-an-antiracist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How to Be an Antiracist</a>,” along with “<a href="https://www.ibramxkendi.com/stamped" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stamped from the Beginning</a>” and “<a href="https://bookshop.org/books/antiracist-baby-board-book/9780593110416" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Antiracist Baby</a>.” He further serves as the Director and founder of the <a href="https://www.bu.edu/antiracism-center/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Antiracist Research</a> at Boston University.

Dr. Kendi claims that racism is deeply embedded in American institutions and that every white American benefits from racism, regardless of their actions. During one event hosted by Google, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEjpbDSoBCA&amp;t=2078s&amp;ab_channel=TalksatGoogle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Kendi claimed that anyone raised in America is raised to be racist.</a>

&nbsp;

His speaking engagements are often very lucrative; the University of Michigan paid Dr. Kendi <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/university-michigan-ibram-x-kendi-20000-virtual-discussion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$20,000 for a virtual, one-hour speech on antiracism.</a>

During another lecture for the <a href="https://www.aspeninstitute.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aspen Institute</a>, Dr. Kendi <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzuOlyyQlug" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defined racism as ANY policy—or support for a policy—in which the outcome results in racial disparities</a>.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Kendi-Definition-of-Racism.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

He would go on to explain the elimination of racial disparities by adopting far-Left policies—such as wealth redistribution to alleviate the racial income gap and universal health care— are examples of how one can be “anti-racist.”

Dr. Kendi wrote in “How to Be an Antiracist” that “<a href="https://www.city-journal.org/how-to-be-an-antiracist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the ultimate solution to racism or racial discrimination is discrimination itself</a>”.

Dr. Kendi further advocates for an “<a href="https://www.politico.com/interactives/2019/how-to-fix-politics-in-america/inequality/pass-an-anti-racist-constitutional-amendment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">antiracist amendment” to the Constitution to monitor and punish officials with “racist” ideas</a>. Proposed policies in the amendment include:

- To deem racial inequity or racist ideas as unconstitutional

- Permanently fund a “Department of Antiracism”

- Mandatory monitoring of all federal, state, and local policies for racial inequity

- Mandatory monitoring of all public officials for racist ideas

- Ability to punish public officials who do not voluntarily change racist ideas or policies

Opposed to interracial families, Dr. Kendi has alleged that adopting a child from a separate race doesn’t make you “not racist.” During the 2020 confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett—who has adopted two children from Haiti—Dr. Kendi insinuated that families like the Barretts—whom he describes as “white colonizers”—<a href="https://nypost.com/2020/09/28/bu-professor-suggests-amy-coney-barrett-is-a-white-colonizer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">only adopt black children in a racist attempt to “civilize them.”</a>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Some White colonizers "adopted" Black children. They "civilized" these "savage" children in the "superior" ways of White people, while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting the biological parents of these children out of the picture of humanity. <a href="https://t.co/XBE9rRnoqq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/XBE9rRnoqq</a>

Dr. Leana Wen is a <a href="https://publichealth.gwu.edu/departments/health-policy-and-management/leana-wen-md-msc_faaem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Research Professor of Health Policy and Management</a> at George Washington University. In addition to teaching, Dr. Wen is an emergency department medical doctor and a CNN Medical Analyst. She is also an op-ed columnist for a few different publications, and previously she was the President of Planned Parenthood &#8211; a tenure that lasted only eight months.
Over the last year and a half, the focus of Dr. Wen’s research and interest has been on COVID-19. She <a href="https://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2021/05/01/how-can-u-s-solve-problem-of-vaccine-hesitancy.cnn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">often speaks on the subject for CNN</a> and other news outlets such as the Washington Post and the New York Times. In a video clip recently released by CNN, Dr. Wen compared unvaccinated Americans to drunk drivers. You can watch the clip below:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Remaining unvaccinated &amp; going out in public is equivalent to driving under the influence. You want to be intoxicated? That’s your choice, but if you want to drive a car, that endangers others. No one should have the “choice” to infect others with a potentially deadly disease. <a href="https://t.co/a4itLS2upX">pic.twitter.com/a4itLS2upX</a>

In <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/09/09/bidens-six-step-covid-strategy-does-not-go-far-enough-compel-vaccinations/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=wp_opinions&amp;utm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an article published by the Washington Post</a>, Dr. Wen alleges that President Biden’s six-pronged strategy for COVID vaccination doesn’t go far enough. In her opinion, he is not doing enough to compel the unvaccinated to get vaccinated, and he needs to do even more. She argues that “the administration can and must go much further.”
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-1678 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-19-at-8.45.17-AM.png" alt="" width="459" height="142" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-19-at-8.45.17-AM.png 459w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-19-at-8.45.17-AM-300x93.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 459px) 100vw, 459px" />
One of her many complaints is that President Biden has not mandated vaccinations for plane and train travel.

Dr. Wen is a huge proponent of vaccine passports. She notes that Israel and the European Union have vaccine verification methods, and the United States should as well.
Dr. Wen also thinks that all children over 12 years old should be required to be vaccinated, and the COVID vaccine should be added to the other immunization requirements for children.

Wölfle Hazard’s university biography states, “As a UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow in Feminist Studies at UC Santa Cruz, ze [sic] drew this field experience together with queer, transgender, and Indigenous theory to theorize how river sciences could work against the Manifest Destiny logics that shape settler environmental governance in the Western US.”
Wölfle Hazard’s book <a href="https://water-relations.net/underflows/">Underflows: Queer Trans Ecologies and River Justice</a> (2022), draws “on the idea of underflows—the parts of a river’s flow that can’t be seen, the underground currents that seep through soil or rise from aquifers through cracks in bedrock—Wölfle Hazard elucidates the underflows in river cultures, sciences, and politics where Native nations and marginalized communities fight to protect rivers.”
In writing Underflows, Wölfle Hazard aimed “to show how Indigenous, Black, Brown, and other radical traditions in which queer, trans, and Two-Spirit people have always played key roles are crucial to meeting the intersecting challenges of climate change, settler-colonial legacies of environmental harm, and gendered violence.”
In Underflows Wölfle Hazard claims that, during the Covid-19 pandemic, “police violence and federal inaction amplified suffering in Black and Brown communities.”
According to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/gender-confirmation-surgeries-are-like-ecological-restoration-princeton-hosts-queer-trans-feminist-river-scientist/">The College Fix</a>, in the fall of 2022, Wölfle Hazard gave a <a href="https://environment.princeton.edu/event/environmental-humanities-colloquium-underflows-queer-and-trans-among-rivers/">talk at Princeton University</a> entitled “Underflows: Queer and Trans Among Rivers:”
“In the talk, “Wölfle Hazard compared ‘gender confirmation surgeries’ to ecological restoration, arguing transgender bodies are similar to bodies of water. ‘When I pay my surgeon to cut my penis into a neo-vagina, I am moving toward myself through myself,’ Wölfle Hazard said, quoting gender studies theorist Eva Hayward.”
In 2014, Wölfle Hazard acted as a “salmon oracle” at the Bay Delta Science Conference, an experience which he recalled during his Princeton talk. The College Fix reports that, “Scientists attending the conference would proceed to talk to the salmon.

<a href="https://education.uw.edu/people/rjd">Robin DiAngelo</a> is an Affiliate Associate Professor in the College of Education at the University of Washington. She is best known for her New York Times bestselling book titled “<a href="https://www.robindiangelo.com/publications/">White Fragility</a>,” which examines DiAngelo’s belief that all white people have embraced and internalized bigotry in order to protect institutional racism in every aspect of American life.

Robin previously described her all-encompassing view on systemic racism in her article <a href="https://www.robindiangelo.com/publications/">“Nothing to Add,”</a> noting that systematic racism results in the unequal distribution of resources amongst racial groups, essentially defining racism as any and all racial disparities.

She writes, “...whiteness scholars define racism as encompassing economic, political, social, and cultural structures, actions, and beliefs that systematize and perpetuate an unequal distribution of privileges, resources, and power among white people and people of color.”

DiAngelo states that the unequal distribution of resources is what makes racism an inexorable part of the free market.

“Capitalism is so bound up with racism...Capitalism is dependent on inequality, on an underclass. If the model is profit over everything else, you’re not going to look at your policies to see what is most racially equitable.” 

During her appearance on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZfiSjTHVqA&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;ab_channel=TheTonightShowStarringJimmyFallon">Jimmy Fallon</a>, DiAngelo explained that individuals are not immune to racism, as it's a foundational aspect of our nation. Racism is not an individual act or offense, but rather a system that disproportionately discriminates against people of color and automatically benefits whites. During an appearance on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dteOQPzc_so">CBS News</a>, she stated that white privilege is automatically bestowed upon white people whether they consider themselves racist or not. During a later interview with the <a href="https://youtu.be/neV_GlvUGn4?t=439">Family Action Network</a>, DiAneglo will go to her “last breath” believing that all white people are racist;

“I will hold to my last breath that all white people that live in a society whose foundation is white superiority internalize the message of white superiority…”

During an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45ey4jgoxeU">appearance</a> at the Seattle Public Library, she went further, declaring that all white people have a “deeply internalized” sense of white supremacy.  According to DiAngelo, white people are born and bred into racism and “internalize” their bigotry. She uses this basis to define “white fragility” is the inability of white Americans to come to terms with their inherent racism and resultant defensive reaction to being accused of harboring racist beliefs. Through this, white Americans maintain a racist system that they benefit from.

DiAngelo uses the individual as an example of the presence of racism in American society. She explains that racism is structural rather than individual, thus attributing any disparities to individual acts, such as behavior or values, is emblematic of “white fragility” and how white Americans protect racist institutions from systematic change.

DiAngelo <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/15/magazine/white-fragility-robin-diangelo.html?referringSource=articleShare">travels extensively</a> to promote her work, regularly speaking before <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrOFpaB-PQI">city governments</a> and major corporations like Levi’s. She recently faced blowback at the University of Connecticut for <a href="https://campusreform.org/?ID=15430">charging</a> $20,000 for a three and a half-hour lecture before only 44 administrators. She also received criticism from Missouri Senator Josh Hawley when it was discovered that her work is <a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/senator-hawley-requests-smithsonian-explain-controversial-talking-about-race-initiative">featured prominently</a> in diversity trainings hosted by government institutions.

<a href="https://gwss.washington.edu/people/kemi-adeyemi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kemi Adeyemi</a> is an Associate Professor of Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies, and Director of The Black Embodiments Studio at the University of Washington. 

According to Adeyemi’s article <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.14321/qed.4.2.0056#metadata_info_tab_contents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Donald Trump is the Perfect Man for the Job”</a>, the professor had her class go through an exercise in which she and the students recited the sentence, “Donald Trump is the perfect man for the job [i.e. Presidency].” This exercise took place the day after the 2016 Presidential Election.  Yet, Adeyemi’s understanding of the U.S. president’s role was “continuing the violence that has always been at the very heart of the US.”

In 2022, Adeyemi published a book entitled <a href="https://www.dukeupress.edu/feels-right" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Feels Right: Black Queer Women &amp; the Politics of Partying in Chicago”.</a> The University of Washington’s <a href="https://gwss.washington.edu/research/publications/feels-right" target="_blank" rel="noopener">description for the book</a> states that “feeling good is elusive for black queer women whose nightlives are undercut by white people, heterosexuality, neoliberal capitalism, burnout, and other buzzkills.”

“Feels Right”, according to Adeyemi, “pays particular attention to three sites in which black queer women strategically forge black queer space in the midst of the neoliberal city that severely regulates their modes of thinking, moving, and feeling.” Another quote from the introduction of the book states: “Black queer women’s shared practices of taking pleasure—of singing along to the music, watching people dance (and hyping them up), dancing themselves, and making platonic and sexual connections with one another—articulate their rights to occupy the landscapes of pleasure that the neoliberal city is organized around.”

Adeyemi has also published several other books and articles, among which are “Queer Nightlife”, and “Black/Queer/Women/Lean: Re-Aligning the Disciplinary Function of 90°”.

The description for “Black Feminist Geographies”, a course taught by Adeyemi, states: 

“Stereotypes about blackness, gender, and sexuality are enmeshed with how we think, feel, and move about the landscapes we move through - and black people are often seen threatening presences that "need" to be policed, contained, and completely erased. This course considers how black feminist approaches to geographic space reveal ways that these restrictive understandings of blackness, gender, and sexuality are refused and redefined.”

<a href="https://familymedicine.uw.edu/osher/osher-team/cora-breuner/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Cora Breuner</a> is Professor in the Department of Pediatrics, and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine at the University of  Washington. 

According to her Seattle Children’s Hospital profile, Breuner’s “research interests include the evaluation of yoga as an adjunctive intervention for eating disorders, biofeedback for chronic headache and the assessment of complementary medicine for diabetes.” One of her goals “is to incorporate complementary, holistic and integrative medicine into the outpatient and inpatient arenas at Children’s [Hospital].”

According to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-minors-dont-have-agency-to-get-tattoos-but-do-for-gender-affirming-procedures/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a>, Breuner “signed on to a 2018 <a href="https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/142/4/e20182162/37381/Ensuring-Comprehensive-Care-and-Support-for?autologincheck=redirected?nfToken=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">policy statement</a> supporting ‘gender-affirming’ care for transgender/gender-diverse children.” The title of the policy is, “Ensuring Comprehensive Care and Support for Transgender and Gender-Diverse Children and Adolescents.” In the section for “Gender-Affirmative Care”, the policy lays out the following beliefs: 

— “transgender identities and diverse gender expressions do not constitute a mental disorder;”

— “variations in gender identity and expression are normal aspects of human diversity, and binary definitions of gender do not always reflect emerging gender identities;”

— “gender identity evolves as an interplay of biology, development, socialization, and culture; and…”

— “if a mental health issue exists, it most often stems from stigma and negative experiences rather than being intrinsic to the child.”

In an <a href="https://www.npr.org/transcripts/804508548?ft=nprml&amp;f=804508548" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview with NPR</a> titled “What your Teen Wishes You Knew about Sex Education”, Breuner said: 
“Sometimes, parents are actually, interestingly, very excited about this and are happy that their child is exploring other gender or another sexuality. So they actually want the kid to explore things faster than the kid wants to.”
Though Breuner favors “gender-affirmative care” for youth, she thinks that minors should not be legally allowed to get tattoos. The College Fix reports that Breuner thinks “it is time to reconsider various laws regarding tattoos and minors.” There are no federal laws regarding minor tattoos, but such laws are different from state to state. 

In a piece for the <a href="https://archive.ph/jrdrq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a> she explains that minors do not “have that kind of agency to make a decision.”

Breuner has been “Top Doctor” in Seattle nine times from 2014 to 2022.

<a href="https://history.washington.edu/people/laurie-marhoefer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Laurie Marhoefer</a> is “a historian of queer and trans people in Weimar and Nazi Germany,” at the University of Washington. 

On June 6, Marhoefer published a <a href="https://theconversation.com/historians-are-learning-more-about-how-the-nazis-targeted-trans-people-205622" target="_blank" rel="noopener">piece</a> for The Conversation titled “Historians are learning more about how the Nazis targeted trans people.” The main premise of the article is to assess the treatment of transgender people in Nazi Germany and how it differed in severity from how they were treated in the Weimar Republic. 

Marhoefer even related the Nazi treatment of transgender people to the current treatment of such people in the United States by condemning certain states that have prohibited “gender affirming health care”: 
“Today, right-wing attacks against trans people in the U.S. are intensifying. Though the <a href="https://www.aap.org/en/news-room/news-releases/aap/2018/aap-policy-statement-urges-support-and-care-of-transgender-and-gender-diverse-children-and-adolescents/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Academy of Pediatrics</a> and every major medical association approves gender-affirming health care for trans kids, Republican politicians have <a href="https://www.hrc.org/resources/attacks-on-gender-affirming-care-by-state-map" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned it in 19 states, with even more moving to prohibit it</a>..It’s a reminder that attacks on trans people are nothing new – and that many of them are straight out of the Nazi playbook.”
Marhoefer commends the way transgender people were treated under the Weimar Republic, before the Nazi regime came to power in Germany. According to Marhoefer, “Gender-affirming medicine is now over 100 years old – and it has roots in Weimar Germany:”
“The Weimar Republic, the more tolerant democratic government that existed before Hitler, recognized the rights of trans people, though in a begrudging, limited way. Under the republic, <a href="https://doi.org/10.1093/pastj/gtac018" target="_blank" rel="noopener">police granted trans people permits</a>.”
She proceeds to list other privileges that transgender people had under the Weimar Republic: 
“Under the Republic, <a href="https://doi.org/10.1093/pastj/gtac018" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trans people could also change their names legally</a>, though they had to pick from a short, preapproved list. In Berlin, transgender people published several magazines and had a political club. Some glamorous trans women worked at the internationally famous <a href="https://perspectives.ushmm.org/item/photo-of-the-eldorado-club" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eldorado cabaret</a>. The sexologist <a href="https://theconversation.com/the-early-20th-century-german-trans-rights-activist-who-transformed-the-worlds-view-of-gender-and-sexuality-106278" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Magnus Hirschfeld</a>, who ran Berlin’s <a href="https://magnus-hirschfeld.de/ausstellungen/institute/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Institute for Sexual Science</a>, advocated for the rights of transgender people.”
Marhoefer addresses what happened to transgender people and institutions after the Nazis came to power:
“The rise of Nazi Germany destroyed this relatively open environment. The Nazis shut down the magazines, the Eldorado and Hirschfeld’s institute.”
In 2022, Marhoefer published “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Racism-Making-Gay-Rights-Sexologist/dp/1487505817/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr=&amp;asin=B09Z78TM27&amp;revisionId=5c41b4f5&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Racism and the Making of Gay Rights: A Sexologist, His Student, and the Empire of Queer Love</a>.” In the book’s introduction, she questions:
“Why are the assumptions that to be gay is to be white and that racism (not to mention sexism and anti-disability politics) is a side issue[?]…These questions draw my attention because I am a student of the many scholars who have argued that sexuality and racism are inseparable.” 
Marhoefer even claims that “same-sex desire is something that everybody feels at one time for another.”

The video taken by the TPUSA students at the University of Washington shows Sahin identifying herself as a professor and standing between a trans individual and pro-Israel supporters. The Israel supporters were trying to explain to the transgender individual that he would be welcomed in Israel, but would be killed in Gaza for his gender identity.

In the background of the video, “pro-Hamas demonstrators can be heard chanting ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,’” as the Post Millennial reports, “which is a call for the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Israel.”

SUPER UW’s statement condemned the University of Washington’s president for sending a letter to the community about a Jewish grad student who was murdered in the Hamas attacks.

“Perverse Modernities transgresses modern divisions of knowledge that have historically separated the consideration of sexuality, and its concern with desire, gender, bodies, and performance, on the one hand, from the consideration of race, colonialism, and political economy, on the other, in order to explore how the mutual implication of race, colonialism, and sexuality has been rendered perverse and unintelligible within the logics of modernity.”
In the first chapter of “Freedom with Violence,” Reddy states:
“In this sense, seeing the passage of law against anti-GLBTQ [sic] hate crimes as an amendments of both US racial globalism (the NDAA) and US racial capitalism (the 1969 Civil Rights Act) suggests the critical importance of sexuality in our contemporary moment…”

Her fields of interest include “Legal Mobilization,” “Minority and Race Politics,” “Race and Ethnicity,” and “Social Movements.”

In 2015, Francis presented a <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/megan_ming_francis_we_need_to_address_the_real_roots_of_racial_violence?language=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TED Talk</a> entitled “We need to address the real root of racial violence,” wherein she stated:
“The present crisis surrounding race in the United States, I think, suffers from a lack of attention to the root causes. Better attention to the root causes — I am convinced — will help us figure out how to move past where we are right now in terms of the current racial climate in the United States … [W]e tend to think the problem of racial violence is isolated to a few stubborn racists … And we tend to think the cure to racial injustices in the United States should always revolve around education.”
Francis then proposed a new thought for ending systemic racial injustice in America, stating:

<a href="https://gwss.washington.edu/people/bettina-judd">Bettina Judd</a> is an Associate Professor in the <a href="https://gwss.washington.edu/">Department of Gender, Women &amp; </a>Sexuality Studies at the University of Washington. According to her faculty profile, “Judd is an interdisciplinary writer, artist and performer whose research focus is on black women's creative production and our use of visual art, literature, and music to develop feminist thought.” 

Judd’s profile also states that her “current book manuscript argues that black women’s creative production is feminist knowledge production produced by registers of affect she calls ‘feelin.’” 

In response to the October 2023 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, Judd tweeted the following:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
N*zis hate Jewish, Arab, Muslim, and Black folk (and all of the intersections therein). This stance is beyond embarrassing and it’s a white Nationalist tactic to cozy ourselves up to eating ourselves from the inside out. Shame.
— Feelin Bettina Judd (@bettinajudd) <a href="https://twitter.com/bettinajudd/status/1719153435327770752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 31, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Judd claims the “American way” is one and the same with white supremacy:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
White supremacy is very insidious and quiet, because all it takes is living the American way to feel comfortable in it. <a href="https://t.co/5IyC1KgadN">https://t.co/5IyC1KgadN</a>
— Feelin Bettina Judd (@bettinajudd) <a href="https://twitter.com/bettinajudd/status/1705325447419134436?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 22, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

In June 2022, in the aftermath of the Roe v. Wade decision being overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, Judd expressed <a href="https://www.washington.edu/news/2022/06/24/folks-on-the-ground-have-been-activated-and-ready-uw-expert-on-reproductive-justice-and-the-u-s-supreme-court/">dissent</a> with the Court’s ruling and connected its consequences to “black reproductive lives.” 

Judd wrote,
“One of the kinds of dystopic, terrible things about this ruling and its relationship to that, is that in a country where Black women are far more likely to die during childbirth, to force folks toward childbirth also seems like a death plan. I don’t think of it as happenstance that that is the idea, because there is this sense that Black reproductive lives matter less, that this nation would somehow be better off if Black women stopped having children.”
Judd claims that the lessening of black women's access to abortion entails the loss of certain welfare benefits from the government:
“Concurrent with stripping access to abortion is also the stripping of what folks on the right are calling entitlements – food stamps, even WIC, the nutrition program for women, infants and children.”
Concluding the article, Judd places the load of abortion access on the states:
“States where abortions are legal will have to carry the load. Abortion funds help those who need access to care, who need to be able to travel to get an abortion, who need a place to stay while they’re getting health care.”

<a href="https://dental.washington.edu/people/douglass-jackson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Douglass Jackson</a> is a Clinical Professor of Pediatric Dentistry at the UW School of Dentistry. In 2005, he was named assistant dean of dentistry. Fifteen years later Jackson was <a href="https://dental.washington.edu/dr-douglass-jackson-to-lead-schools-heightened-diversity-efforts/">appointed </a>“Associate Dean for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI), pending approval by the UW Board of Regents.”

In a statement following his appointment to the role, Jackson said:
“What motivates me every day to do this work is the realization that we live in a place where talent is equally distributed and opportunity is not…I’m thrilled to work in this new capacity alongside the many people at the school and university who recognize the societal cost we pay by not addressing this discrepancy, and how failing to address it limits our ability to be the best school we know we can be.”
In a virtual faculty town hall <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m58Z5ZWkS0o" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meeting</a> held in January of 2021 (provided to the Watchlist Team by a former student), Jackson commented on systemic “constructs” during his speaking time: 
“We have constructs of unquestioned power that are built into our systems and processes. These constructs justify who gets elevated or who gets downgraded; they help us decide who gets included or who gets excluded. These are constructs which we use to judge or categorize others but also how others categorize and judge ourselves.”
Jackson said the UW Dental school needs to grow in the area of EDI (i.e. Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion). He questions what he claims are harmful constructs inherent in the UW Dental school community:
“We need to identify those constructs in our culture that are sustaining inequity, dismantle them, and in a mindful and inclusive way replace them with constructs that sustain equity along with the diverse groups that comprise who we are.”
The doctor also stated that he and some associates in the UW Dental School community were implementing various EDI initiatives. One of their initiatives, since enacted, is establishing an EDI Affinity group within the UW Dental School community. Jackson encouraged his fellow community members to be a part of this initiative. One part of this affinity group is an EDI book club. At the time of the town hall, Jackson said the club was reading <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/ibramxkendi">Ibram X. Kendi’s</a> book “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/How-to-Be-an-Antiracist-audiobook/dp/B07TT85KLQ/ref=sr_1_1?hvadid=616990763969&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvlocphy=9030089&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvqmt=e&amp;hvrand=6964597715175028901&amp;hvtargid=kwd-614485839288&amp;hydadcr=24634_13611738&amp;keywords=how+to+be+antiracist&amp;qid=1686077593&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How to Be an Anti-Racist</a>.” 

Jackson then proceeded to discuss various EDI priorities: “EDI need[s] to show up as mission-critical every single day,” he said. Jackson called for “Pre-doctoral admissions for greater increased representation of minoritized populations [and] making sure [the school’s] curriculum reflects the diversity of the world in which we live and addresses systemic inequities that impact oral health.” 

In a subsequent virtual faculty <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoxRVbp7MqE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">town hall</a> held in June of 2020, Jackson made the following claims about race:

“Race is nothing more than a social construct. It is not biologic.” According to Jackson, the EDI Affinity group uses Kendi’s definition of racism verbatim, obtained from “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/How-to-Be-an-Antiracist-audiobook/dp/B07TT85KLQ/ref=sr_1_1?hvadid=616990763969&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvlocphy=9030089&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvqmt=e&amp;hvrand=6964597715175028901&amp;hvtargid=kwd-614485839288&amp;hydadcr=24634_13611738&amp;keywords=how+to+be+antiracist&amp;qid=1686077593&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How to Be an Anti-Racist</a>.”
“Racism is a marriage of racist policies and racist ideas that produces and normalizes racial inequities.”
They also use Kendi’s definition of racial inequity: 
“Racial inequity is when two or more racial groups are not standing on approximately equal footing.”
Kendi, a <a href="https://www.bu.edu/antiracism-center/profile/ibram-x-kendi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of Humanities</a> at Boston University, claims that racism is an integral part of American institutions and that white Americans benefit from such racism. He has also called for an <a href="https://www.politico.com/interactives/2019/how-to-fix-politics-in-america/inequality/pass-an-anti-racist-constitutional-amendment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anti-racist amendment</a> to the U.S. Constitution, which includes, but is not limited to, the following: 
“The [anti-racist] amendment would make unconstitutional racial inequity over a certain threshold, as well as racist ideas by public officials (with “racist ideas” and “public official” clearly defined). It would establish and permanently fund the Department of Anti-racism (DOA) comprised of formally trained experts on racism and no political appointees.”
Kendi also <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/09/28/bu-professor-suggests-amy-coney-barrett-is-a-white-colonizer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denounced</a> Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s adoption of two Haitian children, and is opposed to interracial families.  

Jackson also addressed the school of dentistry’s goal of building anti-racism into its curriculum. He mentioned <a href="https://dental.washington.edu/people/natasha-m-flake/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Natasha Flake</a>, Professor of the Endodontics department, along with <a href="https://dental.washington.edu/people/kimberly-espinoza/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kimberly Espinoza</a> of the DECOD program as key figures in promoting the school of dentistry’s anti-racist curriculum, and its overall anti-racism agenda.

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.”

<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.

&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.

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.

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

&nbsp;

Inoue delivered this speech while <a href="https://cccc.ncte.org/cccc/about/chairs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">serving as the Conference Chair of the Conference on College Composition and Communication</a>, which bills itself as the <a href="https://cccc.ncte.org/cccc/about/chairs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">largest professional organization for researching and teaching writing composition</a>.

<a href="https://isearch.asu.edu/profile/597528" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lorraine Moya Salas</a> is an Instructor in the <a href="https://socialwork.asu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">School of Social Work</a> at <a href="https://campus.asu.edu/dohttps://campus.asu.edu/downtown-phoenixwntown-phoenix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arizona State University - Downtown Phoenix</a>.

During a lecture in one of her courses—titled, “Foundations of Social Work”—Dr. Lorraine can be heard describing the United States as a “white supremacist system,” that was founded for the benefit of white people at the expense of Native Americans and people of color.

In the class—recorded and provided exclusively to the Professor Watchlist team by an anonymous source—Dr. Salas urges her students to confront the “implicit biases” present in themselves and American society. Claiming that stereotypes and prejudices construct implicit bias, she warns that unconscious actions can cause serious harm.

Attempting to provide an example to bolster her claim, Dr. Salas states that implicit bias causes doctors to act as if their black patients are slaves. She proceeds to cite a study that claims doctors give less pain medication to black patients as compared to white ones.

Dr. Salas alleges this is the product of the legacy of slavery; slave owners viewed blacks as subhuman and able to withstand a large amount of pain, so therefore doctors continue to believe that blacks can withstand a large amount of pain. Doctors will therefore prescribe black patients less pain medication.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Lorraine-Moya-Salas-Part-1_updated.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Dr. Salas additionally cites a study that claims teachers will call on boys more often than girls in their classrooms. She claims this as proof that teachers think boys answer questions correctly more often than girls.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Lorraine-Moya-Salas-Part-1_2.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Throughout the lecture, Dr. Salas alleges that numerous racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in society are a result of implicit bias. She urges her students, as future social workers, to confront their own implicit biases and assigns an “implicit bias test” for them to complete before the next class.

Dr. Salas additionally claims that institutional racism produces inequality and disparities, attributing it to the legacy of slavery in the Americas. Although acknowledging that all cultures practiced slavery, she claims that no slave trade was enforced along racial lines until the Europeans did so in order to specifically oppress people of color.

Citing slavery, the genocide of Native Americans and discriminatory, Jim Crow laws, Dr. Salas claims that  America was constructed as a “white supremacist culture” for the sole benefit of white people who have maintained their “white power structures” ever since.

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

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

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.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/202508" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angela Lober</a> is a Clinical Associate Professor at Arizona State University. 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.

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.”

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.

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

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

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

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.”

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

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

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

Dr. Timothy Schorn is a <a href="https://www.usd.edu/faculty-and-staff/Timothy-Schorn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Director of International Studies and Associate Professor</a> of Political Science at the University of South Dakota. His research and teaching interests include International Human Rights and Middle Eastern Politics. Dr. Schorn has been published in several research journals, such as Marine Corps Journal and Journal of Politics.
Dr. Schorn is openly pro-critical race theory in both the media and in his personal life. <a href="https://www.sdpb.org/blogs/kevinwoster/in-defense-of-critical-race-theory-what-it-is-and-what-it-isnt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In an article for South Dakota Public Broadcasting</a>, Dr. Schorn vehemently supports critical race theory in the classroom. According to Dr. Schorn, “you have to look at the institutionalization of slavery; you look at the laws and policies on voting requirements and moves to restrict voting access; you look at mandatory sentencing and which classes of people that affects the most — certainly poor, generally minority communities are affected more than the white middle class.”
Dr. Schorn goes on to say that he educates his students about critical race theory in all of his classrooms. He also states that critical race theory teaches that we created a legal system in the United States that is inherently racist, as it affects minorities more negatively than white Americans. Dr. Schorn also accuses America of being racist against minorities because of voting requirements and voting access restrictions.

Her areas of expertise are “Social Equity,” “Research Methods and Analysis,” and “Program Evaluation and Assessment.”

During her employment at North Carolina State University, Berry-James was <a href="https://www.insightintodiversity.com/social-justice-education-in-public-policy-schools-is-crucial-for-the-nations-future/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in an article</a> titled “Social Justice Education in Public Policy Schools is Crucial for the Nation’s Future.” The article states:
“After watching in horror the murder of George Floyd by police officers last May, [Berry-James] promised her two teenage daughters that she would do everything in her power to make the United States a better, more equitable place for them to live … With the unjust death of Floyd so fresh on everyone’s mind, it is imperative that public policy educators seize the current moment to break down institutional barriers and address long overdue reforms, says Berry-James.”
Berry-James is quoted directly, saying:
“Going forward, our curricula changes must advance our understanding of social equity and social justice, develop culturally competent professionals, and address critical issues in the public sector. Our students must be trained to identify problems as well as develop strategies to critically analyze oppression.”
In the book “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Diversity_and_Public_Administration/k6KOZANF7MIC?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=rajade+berry-james&amp;pg=PA61&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Diversity and Public Administration</a>,”  Berry-James authored a chapter called Managing Diversity: Moving Beyond Organizational Conflict. In the opening paragraph, she declares:

In the same chapter, she states, “Affirmative action initiatives encourage organizations and educational institutions to utilize more aggressive strategies in recruiting a diverse application pool, achieving employee diversity, and awarding contracts.”

Berry-James co-authored a chapter in <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Racial_Equity_COVID_19_and_Public_Policy/_gumEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=rajade+berry-james&amp;pg=PT46&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another book</a> entitled “Racial Equity, COVID-19, and Public Policy: The Triple Pandemic.” Berry-James et al. claimed, “The impact of convergent thinking about the coronavirus has perplexed policymakers, public health professionals, and society. Citizen insight during an extended period of crisis has been difficult to navigate for people of color.”

In <a href="https://digitalscholarship.tsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1172&amp;context=jpmsp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a paper she co-authored</a> — “What the Hell is Wrong with America?

<a href="https://webapps.unf.edu/faculty/bio/N00151551" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jonathan Grant</a> is an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Africana Studies at the University of North Florida. His areas of expertise include “Critical Race Theory,” “Social Class,” “United States South,” and “Urban Environments.”
In the book “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Getting_Real_About_Race/xdFCEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=getting+real+about+race+by+jonathan+grant&amp;pg=PA187&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Getting Real About Race</a>,” Grant contributed a chapter entitled “Black People Have Money Now, so Why Are They Still Complaining?” He opened the chapter by commenting on the controversy surrounding former NFL player Colin Kaepernick, who kneeled on the field during the National Anthem. 
Grant wrote:
“This act of protest was done as a way of shedding light on the murders of [b]lack boys, girls, men, women at the hands of law enforcement and the subsequent injustices…surrounding their court cases. Kaepernick’s act of resistance led to other athletes choosing to ‘take a knee’ during the anthem, many of them [b]lack athletes.”
Grant went on to claim that “blackness is synonymous with poverty, disenfranchisement, and economic struggle” since there was a “lack of balance between stories of “[b]lack poverty, [b]lack economic advancement and the gray areas.” He managed to pin some of the blame for this perception on <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/09/21/trump-said-african-american-communities-are-in-their-worst-shape-ever-heres-how-twitter-corrected-him/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">comments</a> made by President Donald Trump in 2016.
Grant uses <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@jpaulgrant" target="_blank" rel="noopener">social media</a> to express his views on diversity, equity, inclusion, and white supremacy. In the TikTok video below, Grant and another gentleman discussed “decolonizing the black mind” following the death of George Floyd (click the image below).

He posted his thoughts on how laws are not truly protecting black people from racism in America (click the image below).

<a href="https://webapps.unf.edu/faculty/bio/N00151551" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jonathan Grant</a> is an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Africana Studies at the University of North Florida. His areas of expertise include “Critical Race Theory,” “Social Class,” “United States South,” and “Urban Environments.”

In the book “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Getting_Real_About_Race/xdFCEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=getting+real+about+race+by+jonathan+grant&amp;pg=PA187&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Getting Real About Race</a>,” Grant contributed a chapter entitled “Black People Have Money Now, so Why Are They Still Complaining?” He opened the chapter by commenting on the controversy surrounding former NFL player Colin Kaepernick, who kneeled on the field during the National Anthem. 

Grant wrote:
“This act of protest was done as a way of shedding light on the murders of [b]lack boys, girls, men, women at the hands of law enforcement and the subsequent injustices…surrounding their court cases. Kaepernick’s act of resistance led to other athletes choosing to ‘take a knee’ during the anthem, many of them [b]lack athletes.”
Grant went on to claim that “blackness is synonymous with poverty, disenfranchisement, and economic struggle” since there was a “lack of balance between stories of “[b]lack poverty, [b]lack economic advancement and the gray areas.” He managed to pin some of the blame for this perception on <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/09/21/trump-said-african-american-communities-are-in-their-worst-shape-ever-heres-how-twitter-corrected-him/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">comments</a> made by President Donald Trump in 2016.

Grant uses <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@jpaulgrant" target="_blank" rel="noopener">social media</a> to express his views on diversity, equity, inclusion, and white supremacy. In the TikTok video below, Grant and another gentleman discussed “decolonizing the black mind” following the death of George Floyd (click the image below).

Shortly after the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/author-salman-rushdie-reportedly-stabbed-before-new-york-speech" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stabbing of Salman Rushdie</a>, Professor Nader Hashemi blamed Israel for the attack. He commented that Mossad, Israel&#8217;s national intelligence agency, was “most likely” <a href="https://www.denverpost.com/2022/08/29/nader-hashemi-salman-rushdie-stabbing-israel-mossad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">behind the attack.</a> Hashemi based his theory on what he called “suspicious timing” concerning the Iran Nuclear deal that originated in 2015. Israel fears that the deal may be back on the table under the current Biden administration. Hashemi explained that Israeli agents might have remained undercover so they would not be blamed for the attack. The basis of his theory is that Mossad agents posed as Iranian Revolutionary Guards to lure the suspect into attacking Salman Rushdie.
Ayatollah Khomeini issued a <a href="https://www.jihadwatch.org/2022/08/why-is-antisemitic-conspiracy-theorist-nader-hashemi-still-a-faculty-member-at-the-university-of-denver" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fatwa calling for the assassination</a> of Salman Rushdie himself. The Fatwa promised money and or martyrdom for anyone involved in the murder of the author. Many members of Salman Rushdie&#8217;s team have been attacked previously. Rushdie’s Japanese translator was stabbed to death in 1991. In 2017, Ayatollah Khamenei published a short statement on his official website concerning the Fatwa saying “the decree remains as Khomeini issued it.”
The attacker was born in the United States to Lebanese parents and he <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/aug/17/rushdie-attack-suspect-admires-ayatollah-khomeini-hadi-matar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated during an interview</a> with the New York Post that Salman Rushdie “was someone that attacked Islam.” 
Hashemi has a <a href="https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-8/nader-hashemi-an-iran-puppet-in-denver" target="_blank" rel="noopener">history of advocating for Hamas</a>, a group officially recognized by the United States as a terrorist organization. He stated that Hamas leaders took significant steps to make the group more moderate. At the time of Hashemi’s comments, Hamas has been responsible for at least 37 suicide bombings and thousands of rocket attacks against civilians. 
Israel also experienced a surge in knife attacks between the years 2015 and 2016 that became known as the “Knife Intifada.” At the time, Hashemi tweeted about Israeli soldiers killing “another” Palestinian in Hebron. The alleged victim attempted to stab Israeli soldiers to death during a riot before he was shot and killed. 
In a 2016 tweet, Hashemi also claimed that supporters of Israel use claims of antisemitism to protect themselves from criticism.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
there is another message: we will continue to colonize Palestinian land, if you criticize us we will call u anti-Semitic.
— Nader Hashemi (@naderalihashemi) <a href="https://twitter.com/naderalihashemi/status/813406654020644865?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 26, 2016</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In 2005, Hashemi claimed that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s demand to destroy Israel was not rooted in antisemitism. He stated that it was the fault of the “enduring legacy of European colonialism and Israel’s perceived connection with this legacy.” However, President Ahmadinejad stated in his speech that “anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation’s fury.” 
Hashemi also has a long history with the antisemitic boycott, divestments, and sanctions (BDS) movement and has signed petitions promoting it. BDS aims to boycott Israel and destroy the state by eliminating it economically. 
He <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/23453/u-denver-nader-hashemi-shills-for-muslim" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has even defended Hamas&#8217;s terror attacks</a>, saying that brutal attacks aimed against civilians fit within a context of “national liberation.” Hashemi was recorded dismissing the Hamas genocidal charter which calls for Islam to utterly annihilate Israel by naming it a “pro-Israel talking point.”
Nader Hashemi is the Director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Denver. He is also an Associate Professor specializing in Middle Eastern and Religious research.

Despite reports of tendered resignation, as of this publication, <a href="https://socialwork.du.edu/about/gssw-directory/z-williams" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Z Wiliams</a> is still listed as an Adjunct Faculty in the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Denver.

<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-quits-because-school-wont-let-her-train-students-to-be-anti-israel-activists/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a> reported that Williams — a biological female who goes by “they/them” pronouns — announced her resignation because she was “upset that [she] cannot ‘encourage’ students to become anti-Israel activists.”

Citing an article by <a href="https://unicornriot.ninja/2024/university-of-denver-professor-resigns-over-schools-involvement-in-palestines-genocide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Unicorn Riot</a>, the Fix quoted Williams, stating:
“‘“I teach classes designed to encourage my students to join social movements and change the world … My students have area restrictions and suspension for honoring those lessons and protesting genocide. Our staff is facing political retaliation. How do I teach students about advocacy, liberation, and justice only to have the administration of this school punish them for practicing just that?”’”
Unicorn Riot included a written statement by Williams in light of her resignation and Israel’s response to the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack:

During a Unicorn Riot press conference to criticize the university’s alleged ties to the Israel-Gaza war, Williams stood in solidarity with a biological male who identified as a “heathen” and a “fully professed sister in the <a href="https://www.thesisters.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence</a>.”

After handing her resignation letter to a front desk administrator and receiving applause from a small crowd, Williams led a “Free Palestine” chant.

<a href="https://facultyweb.kennesaw.edu/cgreensm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Cameron Greensmith</a> is a Professor at Kennesaw State University who identifies as a “white, queer, cisgender-passing settler.” His research focuses on antiracist, anti-colonial, and “queer” perspectives. 
 Dr. Greensmith describes his scholarship as utilizing “indigenous studies” and “critical whiteness studies.” The latter is an outgrowth of critical race theory—and was developed by professors <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/richarddelgado" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Richard Delgado</a> and <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/jeanstefancic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jean Stefancic</a>—that aims to disrupt “<a href="https://tupress.temple.edu/books/critical-white-studies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">whiteness as the norm</a>.” It further examines how white people perpetuate and benefit from systemic racism. 
Dr. Greensmith maintains that white Americans as a whole not only ignore racism but actively embrace it. In a paper titled, “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/19361653.2020.1829524?journalCode=wjly20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queer as Hell Media</a>,” he accuses the Georgians who live in and around Kennesaw State of reproducing “racist, conservative, and religious ideologies.” 
 In an article for The Conversation—titled, “<a href="https://theconversation.com/challenging-the-whiteness-of-queer-organizations-183286" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Challenging the Whiteness of Queer Organizations</a>”—he singles out “2SLGBTQIA+” communities for “thriving” off of “capitalism and white supremacy.” He asserts that white people at-large have a duty to challenge racism and “settler colonialism.” 
“Decolonial work is needed and necessary…white people need to step up and take action to challenge the white settler colonialism from which they benefit”
Dr. Greensmith defines settler colonialism as the “erasure, assimilation, and dispossession of Indigenous peoples, communities, nations, and lands” in a paper titled <a href="https://facultyweb.kennesaw.edu/cgreensm/1903-6841-1-PB.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Unsettling White Queer Complicities.”</a>  This, he writes, is connected to the white supremacist structures that American society is built on. Continuing, he states that white people are incentivized to maintain the nation’s “ongoing” violence against Native Americans.  
Referring to these Americans as “settlers,” Dr. Greensmith asserts that white people benefit from and t are complicit in upholding systemic racism. He argues that whites have a specific duty to end white supremacy.  
“White people must work toward dismantling the very systems from which we benefit. Naming white complicity provides white people the opportunity to locate their whiteness structurally and invites whites themselves to make change to combat racism. 
The paper ends with a call to action to end the “global oppression” of indigenous communities and work to restore indigenous self-determination and sovereignty via “decolonization.”  To accomplish this, Dr. Greensmith’s suggestions have ranged from implementing <a href="https://earth.stanford.edu/dei/dei-library/land-acknowledgment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">land acknowledgments</a> to encouraging white social workers to give up their jobs for indigenous people. 
“Decolonizing, as a means to end white settler colonialism’s grip in Indigenous communities, means for social work and service provision a radical divestment in their current regimes. It also means that social workers might have to give up their privilege (and even their jobs) in order to work against existing white settler colonialism.” 
The Professor Watchlist Team has reached out to Dr. Greensmith to determine if he has ever given up his own position for an indigenous person. We have received no response as of publication.

On May 2, Rodriguez approached a Students for Life display booth and berated the students manning the booth (see video below): 
“You’re not educating s***. This is f***ing propaganda. This is violent. You’re triggering my students.”
After Rodriguez criticized the students, the male student behind the booth apologized that the display was, according to Rodriguez, triggering her students. Rodriguez responded, “No you’re not [sorry], because you can’t even have a f***ing baby.” Pointing to a fetus model on the table she said, “You don’t even know what this is. Get this s*** the f*** out of here,” and then shoved a briefcase on the table towards the students along with some stacks of pamphlets. Upon doing this, Rodriguez left the booth.

According to <a href="https://studentsforlife.org/2023/05/18/video-fetusphobic-professor-becomes-unhinged-over-peaceful-pro-life-students-on-campus-destroys-display/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Students for Life</a>, “[Rodriguez] came back to the display a second time to continue berating students. This time…she did not destroy the whole table they had set up. She was stopped when she tried to throw around the materials AGAIN and although she was stopped, she did successfully get copies of each of the pieces of literature. (As opposed to just peacefully taking materials.)” 

Students for Life reports that “SFLA students reported the video of the professor’s first outburst to campus security. The group is still awaiting a response but has been told the issue has been escalated up to the Administration.” 
Published - May 22, 2023
On May 23, a reporter for the <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/23/nyc-college-professor-shellyne-rodriguez-holds-machete-to-post-reporters-neck/">New York Post</a> approached the home of Rodriguez to question the professor on her recent actions at Hunter’s Students for Life booth. Upon knocking, she yelled from behind her door, “Get the f–k away from my door, or I’m gonna chop you up with this machete!” Moments after Rodriguez made that threat, she opened the door and came out with a machete. Then she put the weapon up to the neck of the reporter briefly (see image below).

After threatening the reporter with a machete, Rodriguez said, “Get the f–k away from my door! Get the f–k away from my door!” before returning to her apartment. 

When the reporter and his photographer left, Rodriguez followed them with her machete and made the following verbal threats (see image below quote):
 “If I see you on this block one more f–king time, you’re gonna … Get the f–k off the block! Get the f–k out of here, yo!” 
<img class="alignnone wp-image-2985 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screen-Shot-2023-05-23-at-5.48.56-PM-1024x594.png" alt="" width="640" height="371" />

The Post reports that Rodriguez “briefly chased The Post’s photographer down the street to his car before coming back to kick the reporter in the shins.”

The spokesman for Hunter College told The Post that the university responded to the professor’s actions with “outrage,” and affirmed, “We will take swift and appropriate action.”  

A few hours after the incident was reported, Rodriguez was fired by Hunter College, according to a recent update by the <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/23/nyc-college-professor-shellyne-rodriguez-who-threatened-post-reporter-with-machete-is-fired/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Post</a>.

Fresno State University

<a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/socialsciences/historydept/faculty/faculty-lmaischak.html">Lars Maischak</a> is a lecturer in the Department of History at <a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/">California State University, Fresno</a>. According to his university <a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/socialsciences/historydept/faculty/faculty-lmaischak.html">biography</a>, Maischak teaches the courses, Colonial Americas, American History to 1877, England and Empire, United States 1789-1865, and Topics in History - Marx and Hegel for Historians. Maischak uses his personal Twitter account to call for the execution of the 45th President, Donald Trump, and refers to conservatives as fascists.

Maischak claims that fascism is the eventual result of capitalism in a paper titled, <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h6fiDilfQWGpUrKEh2zzCrBo_iOUHA8C/view">There can be no Democracy without Socialism</a>, shared on Google Drive. Describing fascism as the “creature of capitalism,” Maischak claims that capitalism facilitates the exploitation of workers, or what he describes as the establishment of a “dictatorship of capital over labor."

Maischak further <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h6fiDilfQWGpUrKEh2zzCrBo_iOUHA8C/view">cites</a> the territorial expansion, slave labor, and the outlawing of unions in Nazi Germany as examples of capitalism’s logical end. He later describes the liberties inherent in capitalism as the freedom to commit mass murder and barbarism.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1321 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-04-22T164305.081-e1619135018830-1024x456.png" alt="" width="580" height="258" />

Maischak called for the assassination of then-President Donald Trump via hanging in now-deleted tweets on his personal Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/LMaischak">account</a> in February of 2017.

<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170409043955if_/https://twitter.com/LarsMaischak/status/833443673220145152"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1313" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-22-at-3.00.24-PM.png" alt="" width="400" height="175" /></a>

According to a <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/04/07/professor-trump-must-hang-republicans-should-be-executed-for-each-immigrant-deported/">Daily Caller </a>report, Maischak additionally calls for an “ethnic cleansing” of Republicans.

“#TheResistance #ethniccleansing Justice = The execution of two Republicans for each deported immigrant.” - Lars Maischak

Once Maischak’s tweets were published by outlets like the <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/04/07/professor-trump-must-hang-republicans-should-be-executed-for-each-immigrant-deported/">Daily Caller</a> and <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/local/2017/04/13/fresno-state-fbi-secret-service-probing-history-instructor-over-trump-must-hang-tweet/">Breitbart</a>, Maischak offered an initial apology for his remarks. In a written statement to the <a href="https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article144293174.html">Fresno Bee</a>, Maischak asks for forgiveness and states, “It was never my intent to harm anyone, nor to encourage others to harm anyone.”

According to <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/08/07/after-anti-trump-tweets-fresno-state-removes-adjunct-professor-teaching-position">Inside Higher Ed</a>, Maischak’s classes were canceled by the university before he was later removed from his position following his remarks about President Trump. However, as of March 2021, Fresno State University still <a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/socialsciences/historydept/faculty/faculty-lmaischak.html">lists</a> Maischak as a Lecturer in the History department. In addition, his personal Twitter account still <a href="https://twitter.com/LMaischak">contains</a> tweets calling for former president Donald Trump to be hanged, and tweets referring to conservatives as “fascists” that must face “repression” that have not been removed or recanted.

<a href="https://twitter.com/LMaischak/status/1346926703105359872"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1314" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-22-at-3.06.25-PM.png" alt="" width="450" height="248" /></a>

Following initial coverage of Maischak’s remarks in 2017, the Fresno Bee <a href="https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article144293174.html">reports</a> that University President, Joseph Castro, stated in a conference call with reporters that he was cooperating with an investigation of Maischak by the Secret Service, Homeland Security, and the FBI. Following this statement, Fresno Bee also <a href="https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article144293174.html">reported</a> that Maischak then accused President Castro of allowing himself to be used by a “right-wing smear machine” for cooperating with the investigation.

The Professor Watchlist team reached out to Maischak for comment but has not received a reply by the time of publication.

One tweet calls to free Palestine from Israel by stating, “From the river to the sea,”

The phrase, “from the river to the sea”, was <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/291203" target="_blank" rel="noopener">popularized by terrorist groups such as the Palestinian Liberation Organization</a> (PLO) and alludes to the destruction of Israel—and thus the genocide of the nation’s Jews—between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1948/08/02/archives/aim-to-oust-jews-pledged-by-sheikh-head-of-moslem-brotherhood-says.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The chant is thought to originate from the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan el-Banna</a>, who was quoted by The New York Times stating, "If the Jewish state becomes a fact, and this is realized by the Arab peoples, they will drive the Jews who live in their midst into the sea."

Dr. Jarrar—<a href="https://randajarrar.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who grew up in Egypt and Kuwait</a>—would later reveal that she attended PLO “after-school programs” to learn “resistance songs.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
As a Palestinian child in the '80s I attended PLO-sponsored after school programs, learned about my history, and sang resistance songs.
As a Palestinian femme in 2021, I karaoke "Toxic" and flog asses and put the BDS in BDSM.

Her account berates white people as “privileged” and police as members of a “white militia”:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

In other tweets, Dr. Jarrar states that she no longer reads from authors or answers questions from people who are white, or even hosts events for majority white audiences.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Further statements range from <a href="https://www.salon.com/2014/03/18/i_still_cant_stand_white_belly_dancers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accusing white belly dancers of cultural appropriation</a> to demanding that all <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=11161" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white editors step down from their positions</a>.

<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/professor-randa-jarrar-under-fire-for-calling-barbara-bush-a-racist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In 2018, Jarrar came under fire</a> after tweeting about former first lady, Barbara Bush, after her death. In one tweet about the former First Lady, she called Barbara Bush an “amazing racist” who “raised a war criminal.” In another tweet, she claimed to be “happy the witch is dead.”

After experiencing blowback for her remarks, Dr. Jarrar taunted her followers by claiming that she is a tenured professor who makes $100,000 a year and will never be fired.

When the university was asked to comment, <a href="http://www.fresnostatenews.com/2018/04/24/president-joseph-i-castro-letter-on-conclusion-of-review-regarding-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Castro stated</a>, “We share the deep concerns expressed by others over the personal comments made today by Professor Randa Jarrar, a professor in the English Department at Fresno State. Her statements were made as a private citizen, not as a representative of Fresno State.”

Dr. Jarrar faced no repercussions and returned to her teaching duties soon-there-after.

In the midst of the controversy, Dr. Jarrar wrote, “If you really wanna reach me, here’s my number ok?”, before <a href="https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/tempe/2018/04/19/fresno-state-professor-randa-jarrar-prank-floods-asu-hotline-barbara-bush/532486002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posting the landline of the ASU crisis line, causing the center to become inundated with calls</a>.

<li style="font-weight: 400;">“Look at thus(sic) chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist’s arrogant entitlement.&#8221;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">”all of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps.&#8221;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">“Bonus: we castrate their corpse and feed them to swine? Yes.”</li>
</ul>
ANTI-LAW ENFORCEMENT
In 2018, Fair was <a href="https://thehoya.com/news/georgetown-professor-accused-calling-german-officer-nazi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in The Hoya article </a>“Georgetown Professor Accused of Calling German Officer a ‘Nazi.’” 
The publication explained, “The alleged confrontation occurred after an airport security agent pulled Fair aside and summoned a German police officer, as required by law after an X-ray machine at a security checkpoint indicated her luggage might contain explosives.”
It turns out the substances found in Fair’s bags — cosmetics and roll-on deodorant — had exceeded the amount permitted by law enforcement. The Hoya said, “After the police suggested Fair store a roll-on deodorant in her carry-on bag, the police report states Fair reacted aggressively and called the police ‘f–king bastards’ and ‘f–king Nazi police.’”
The Hoya recorded Fair’s response:
“‘The whole thing was a straight-up shakedown. At the end of the day, this officer just did not want a customer service complaint. If I were a white guy, this wouldn’t be happening to me. For example, the cop called me a hippie. Why am I of all people derided as a hippie?’”
Despite corroborating witness statements cited in the police report — as well as accusations that Fair said another passenger had a “Hitler Youth haircut” — Fair denied all allegations. 
After being detained by German police, the report said Fair was fined $260 in legal fees.
