Oberlin College

<a href="https://www2.oberlin.edu/faculty/classer/cslbio.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carol Lasser</a> is a Professor of History at Oberlin College. Her faculty profile says:

“I am continuing scholarly work on abolitionism, women, and the public sphere, while also moving ahead in my project with Gary Kornblith, on the making of race in Oberlin, Ohio.”

RACIAL IDEOLOGY

Lasser partnered with Kornblith to <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Elusive-Utopia-Struggle-Antislavery-Abolition-ebook/dp/B07JZTMY2Z/ref=sr_1_1?crid=19UJY9FHLZN8C&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ao7EhDg7riDXB6Qdm30m6ugScBzQAbVCGss-Z7AiWd_c5oBXcyrcyZ4paWkUebGbXr7UXQUCSAeGmD8Itc3UgiXfnKbT9DwrEnOG4II9BdB0SjEzMF_JdoY1Kau5aRSPlR8ftgt6d53YeCDZWdl4_tuOljUgOC5aJrQPx00dcCqOHXh7zjPh2nbefMyaJJ4I_2kMJQPul3XuZFVO6b9hRLBEg8uHoswb0o4cFX6fq2U.LWdkKNMR3cffMxZKWCSnbbJvInZcwtY8ClzsM53Cn-g&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=elusive+utopia&amp;qid=1721927826&amp;sprefix=elusive+utopia%2Caps%2C114&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">publish a book</a> called “Elusive Utopia: The Struggle for Racial Equality in Oberlin, Ohio” in which they discuss the abolition of slavery and the “changing perceptions of race” among Oberlin residents. 

In a book <a href="https://www.oberlin.edu/news/elusive-equality-conversation-carol-lasser-and-gary-kornblith" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview with Oberlin Campus News</a>, Lasser was asked, “Did Oberlin’s commitment to racial equality change over time, and if so, how?” Lasser responded:
“The people who make up Oberlin change, and their understanding of their relationship to racial equality changes … After the Civil War, Oberlin needs to reevaluate its raison d’être, and it pulls back from that commitment to radical racial egalitarianism ... Over time, the people who have come to inhabit the town [no] longer see that the job of eliminating prejudice falls to them … There’s a kind of amnesia and a supplanting of the original vision.”
Oberlin’s <a href="https://cityofoberlin.com/for-visitors/underground-railroad-center/information/#:~:text=Oberlin%20became%20a%20major%20focus,as%20the%20Oberlin%2DWellington%20Rescue." target="_blank" rel="noopener">history</a> confirms a strong Evangelical and abolitionist sentiment toward the freeing of slaves. The city’s main page states, “Every chance given they opposed the Fugitive Slave Act and did everything possible to make sure enslaved blacks were not returned to the south … After the Civil War, Oberlin [College] continued its tradition with admitting students ‘irrespective of color.’”

In the interview, Lasser and Kornblith hardly offer any statistical evidence that shows racial segregation, discrimination or violence increased toward black people over the last century. Instead, Lasser simply claims the white people who moved to Oberlin after the Civil War were “different” in that they were no longer “motivated by abolitionism.”

ANTI- 1ST AMENDMENT

In <a href="https://glc.yale.edu/i-am-professor-watchlist-carol-lasser" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a 2016 publication from Yale University</a>, Lasser discussed how she feels about finding her profile on Turning Point USA’s Professor Watchlist. Following the 2016 Presidential Election, Lasser said, “As a member of Historians Against Slavery, I have followed the current post-election situation with great anxiety and much thought about what happens when the American political system is under stress.”

Lasser continued:
“As I learned earlier this week, I am on the ‘Professor Watchlist’ … Although I consider myself honored to be recognized for my lifelong efforts to teach against racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and many other varieties of oppression, I am deeply distressed by the Watchlist, not only because it may have a chilling effect on academic freedom, but also because it is, like so much in the Age of Trump, fact free, letting loose a barrage of hate based in manipulated emotion.”
Lasser also mentioned how Project Veritas exposed her while she served in her role as the “director of Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Students at Oberlin.” The <a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/news/hidden-camera-captures-college-officials-disparaging-and-shredding-constitution-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hidden camera</a> captured an Oberlin staff member shredding a copy of the U.S. Constitution after an undercover journalist claimed to be “triggered” by the document. Moments later, Lasser is recorded stating:

<a href="https://canarymission.org/professors/joy-karega/">Dr. Joy Karega</a> is an Assistant Professor of Rhetoric and Composition at Oberlin College. She posted a series of anti-Semitic Facebook posts in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo terror attacks. In these posts, Karega placed the blame for the attacks on Israel and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. After being fired by the university for her comments in 2016, Karega sued and eventually <a href="https://chroniclet.com/news/200709/fired-professor-oberlin-college-settle-lawsuit/">settled</a> for an undisclosed amount.

<a href="https://www.oberlin.edu/mohammad-jafar-mahallati" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohammad Jafar Mahallati</a> is a Professor of Religion and the Nancy Dye Chair in Middle East and North African Studies at Oberlin College. From 1987-1989, he served as the Ambassador to the United Nations on behalf of Iran. In that role, he is accused of covering up Iran’s executions of political prisoners and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel on the world stage.

As the Jerusalem Post <a href="https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/iranian-diplomat-turned-us-professor-accused-of-crimes-against-humanity-645107" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a>, a group of Iranian political prisoners and human rights activists sent a letter to the president of Oberlin College demanding that the college dismiss Mahallati for his role in Iran’s infamous 1988 mass executions. Over the course of several months of 1988, it is <a href="https://townhall.com/columnists/taharboumedra/2021/01/19/pleading-for-justice-to-the-victims-of-1988-mass-executions-of-political-prisoners-in-iran-n2583360" target="_blank" rel="noopener">estimated</a> that Iran executed as many as 30,000 political prisoners.

In a <a href="https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/iranian-diplomat-turned-us-professor-accused-of-crimes-against-humanity-645107" target="_blank" rel="noopener">response</a> to the Jerusalem Post, Mahallati states that he had no knowledge of the massacres. He claims that his accusers have produced no evidence implicating him in the killings, and Mahallati “categorically” denies receiving any information regarding Iran’s mass executions while serving as an Ambassador.

“The accusers fail to provide a single solid document as evidence of my actual knowledge of these incidents. With no concrete evidence, they infer that I must have been informed and intentionally denied these atrocities. I categorically deny any knowledge and therefore responsibility regarding mass executions in Iran when I was serving at the United Nations.” - Mahallati

Mahallati, in his role as Iran’s ambassador to the UN, vocally downplayed and excused the executions. In a thread of Tweets, Iranian human rights activist Kaveh Shahrooz <a href="https://twitter.com/kshahrooz/status/1314261433291542532/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documents</a> that Mahallati not only <a href="https://www.un.org/en/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=E/CN.4/1989/26" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acknowledges</a> the executions before the UN at that time, but attempts to excuse them as battlefield casualties or sensationalized propaganda from Iraq.

<a href="https://twitter.com/kshahrooz/status/1314261433291542532"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1257" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-08-at-10.56.54-AM-276x300.png" alt="" width="460" height="500" /></a>

During his two-year delegation to the United Nations, Mahallati frequently denied the right of Israel to exist and praised Palestinian terrorists. As Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/oberlin-professor-of-peace-iranian-ambassador-destruction-of-israel-1989-speech">reports</a>, Mahallati, who refers to Israel as a “Zionist entity,” states before the UN that Israel’s founding was a “violation of International law.”

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1255 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-04-08T104141.830-e1617903804528-1024x452.png" alt="" width="580" height="256" />

Praising the Palestinian uprising, known as the “Intifada,” Mahallati <a href="https://undocs.org/en/S/PV.2847">describes</a> the campaign as a “holy struggle against oppression and Zionism.” In a speech to the United Nations, he pledges support on behalf of the Islamic Republic of Iran for the “liberation of all of Palestine'' and the destruction of Israel.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1254 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-04-08T103725.040-e1617903562513-1024x440.png" alt="" width="580" height="249" />

&nbsp;

In a response to a Fox News inquiry about Mahallati, Oberlin College spokesman Scott Wargo <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/oberlin-professor-of-peace-iranian-ambassador-destruction-of-israel-1989-speech">states</a>, “Professor Mahallati is a tenured professor and has seen a teacher at Oberlin since 2007. We have received the letter today expressing concerns about his statements during a meeting with the United Nations representatives more than 30 years ago. We are in touch with Professor Mahallati to gather additional information.”

In a letter sent to Oberlin President Carmen Twillie, and published in The Oberlin Review,  577 signatories <a href="https://oberlinreview.org/21828/opinions/hiring-mohammad-mahallati-against-oberlins-mission-and-vision/">call</a> for Mahallati to be “removed from his position” at Oberlin. The letter also states that his appointment is at “fundamental odds” with Oberlin’s stated values.

The Oberlin Review also reports that Mahallati is the <a href="https://oberlinreview.org/21855/news/religion-professor-denies-accusations-of-human-rights-abuses-cover-up/">founder</a> of the “Friendship Initiative.” According to the Friendship Initiative’s website, the <a href="https://www.oberlin.edu/friendship">goal</a> of the organization is to promote friendship as a “radical framework for developing international, interfaith, and intercultural justice and peace.” Mahallati also hosts Oberlin College’s annual “<a href="https://www.oberlin.edu/events/oberlin_friendship_festival_a_virtual_event">Friendship Festival</a>” which claims to celebrate interfaith peace and justice.

In further unearthed statements, Dr. Mahallati <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/oberlin-colleges-professor-peace-endorsed-fatwa-murder-salman-rushdie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">endorsed the "fatwa"—or sentence of death—leveled against author Salaman Rushdie for criticizing Islam. </a>

The fatwa was <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/salman-rushdie-satanic-verses-fatwa-iran">issued by Iran's Supreme Leader—Ayatollah Kh0meini—in 1989, which called upon "all brave Muslims" to kill Rushdie</a> for authoring The Satanic Verses. It has never been rescinded.

When asked about the fatwa while serving as Ambassador, Dr. Mahallati responded: "I think all Islamic countries agree with Iran. All Islamic nations and countries agree with Iran that any blasphemous statement against sacred figures should be condemned."

He continued, "I think if Western countries really believe and respect freedom of speech, therefore they should also respect our freedom of speech. We certainly use that right in order to express ourselves, our religious belief, in the case of any blasphemous statement against sacred Islamic figures."

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Mahallati for comment and has received the following response via email.

“Greetings! I am on sabbatical leave for the spring of 2021. I will respond back whenever I can. Thank you for contacting me. Warm Regards.” - Mahallati

<a href="https://www.oberlin.edu/jennifer-blaylock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Blaylock</a> is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Cinema Studies and a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Oberlin College. Courses she has taught at Oberlin College include, but are not limited to, Introduction to African Cinemas and Feminist Media Histories.

According to her university profile, she is a “film and media historian with research interests in audio-visual archives, postcolonial and decolonial theory, and African studies.”

Blaylock recently taught a Winter Term project titled Decolonizing Cinema History. <a href="https://oberlinreview.org/30097/arts/bodies-are-fluid-film-screening-expands-on-amam-conversation-through-feminist-video-art/#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Oberlin Review</a> reports the course “invited students with a variety of experiences and interest levels to participate and allowed them to explore feminist media and art film.”

Blaylock says the Winter Term project started from a few needs that she saw on campus, one being that the Cinema Studies department had a collection of 16-millimeter films. She adds:
“The other part of the project is that I’ve been writing a lot about archives recently, and so I was interested in thinking about a lot of new literature on film archives in particular that have to do with decolonizing institutions of archival memory.” 
She continues:
“How are archivists addressing neglect of certain histories based on race, gender, sexuality, [and] geographic parts of the world that have been left out from film memory?” 
Students in Blaylock’s course on decolonizing cinema <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/bodily-fluids-film-fest-hosted-by-oberlin-film-scholar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">organized a film fest</a> with archived pornographic footage. The films shown at the event “spanned a wide range of topics and forms, but were tied together by their focus on bodies and bodily fluids.” Blaylock shared her support for the event on her Twitter:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I am so proud of my students for making this winter term project a reality. They put a lot of hard work into the publicity and curation process. The conversation with students and faculty after the screening was the best part. <a href="https://t.co/ptKmESz16s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/ptKmESz16s</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The Oberlin Review says attendees at the event had a variety of viewing opportunities which “included a film created solely with the artist’s mouth, a 1970s-era feminist film on menstruation, and a 16-minute-long recording of an intimate performance in which one artist shaves another’s lower body.”

EXCLUSIVE &#8211; Christopher Perez—an <a href="https://www.loyno.edu/academics/faculty-and-staff-directory/christopher-perez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instructor of Mathematics</a> at Loyola University of New Orleans—has been identified as the Chair of the Communist Party USA’s (CPUSA) Louisiana Chapter.
Approached by a student who wishes to remain anonymous, the Watchlist was alerted to a video of Perez speaking at a CPUSA-organized protest.

EXCLUSIVE - Christopher Perez—an <a href="https://www.loyno.edu/academics/faculty-and-staff-directory/christopher-perez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instructor of Mathematics</a> at Loyola University of New Orleans—has been identified as the Chair of the Communist Party USA’s (CPUSA) Louisiana Chapter.

Approached by a student who wishes to remain anonymous, the Watchlist was alerted to a video of Perez speaking at a CPUSA-organized protest.

A prior tweet describes Perez as the Secretary-Treasurer of the Communist Party of Louisiana. In it, Perez is photographed trespassing on the Mayor of New Orleans’s property to demand the city become a “sanctuary city for abortions.”

While Perez served in the leadership, the party’s social media praised communist dictators and denied that genocides perpetrated by communist regimes ever occurred. 

In a tweet from 2022, members of CPUSA-LA can be seen waving a flag with the Soviet Hammer and Sickle.

Although it’s unclear if Perez is in attendance, the post is one of many tweets that feature Soviet symbolism or praise for the USSR. Tweets from the CPUSA-LA account in 2022 laud the Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin and brag that members study his works.

The party’s Twitter account goes so far as to deny the existence of the Holodomor, the Soviet forced-famine that saw upwards of <a href="https://cla.umn.edu/chgs/holocaust-genocide-education/resource-guides/holodomor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seven million</a> Ukrainians starve to death.

Browne-Marshall</a> is an Associate Professor of Constitutional Law at John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY). In a 2013 essay, Browne-Marshall blamed the failed implementation of Obamacare on..”southern white radicals” such as Tea Party members. She wrote, “In January, President Barack Obama began his second term. However, southern White radicals vowed to stop implementation of the Obama-care law leading one to wonder if Tea Party members would oppose affordable healthcare if it came from a nonBlack [sic] President.”

<a href="https://www.journalism.cuny.edu/faculty/peter-beinart/">Peter Beinart</a> is a Professor of Journalism and Political Science at the City University of New York. He is known as an active critic of the state Israel, supports the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, and blames Hamas terrorism on the state of Israel.

Beinart has <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/19/opinion/to-save-israel-boycott-the-settlements.html?_r=1&amp;ref=opinion&amp;pagewanted=all">advocated</a> for the BDS movement to serve as a way to influence Israeli policy making. Beinart has gone so far as to suggest sanctions be put on any products made by Israelis in the West Bank. 

While a fierce critic of Israel, Beinart often excuses Islamic terrorism as understandable and morally equivalent counter-reaction to Israel. In fact, he even goes so far in his book, The Crisis of Zionism, to complement the terrorist organization Hamas. He writes, “[Hamas] has in recent years issued several new documents, which are more compatible with a two-state solution.” 

In a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2019/08/19/rich-lowry-peter-beinart-debate-omar-tlaib-israel-trip-sot-lead-vpx.cnn">viral</a> debate with National Review editor Rich Lowry, Beinart was quick to defend Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar after they had been denied entry into Israel on account for their support of the BDS movement. When Lowry pointed out that each were traveling with known extremist groups that support terrorism, Beinart began frantically shouting over Lowry, claiming that terrorism is only response to the violenct Israel perpetrates.

Recently, Beinart wrote in the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/08/opinion/israel-annexation-two-state-solution.html">New York Times</a> that he no longer believes that Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish State.

James Davis is a <a href="https://psc-cuny.org/about-us/leadership/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Principal Officer and President of the Profession Staff Congress (PSC) </a>at the City University of New York (CUNY). He teaches in the American Studies Program and the English Department and dedicates part of his career to community organizing. Davis’ profile also says he’s a 17-year PSC activist. He “helped to wage successful chapter campaigns for health and safety, academic freedom, union membership, adjunct equity, anti-racism, and cross-title solidarity.”

Davis made headlines for his association with anti-Israel activities and organizations on campus. On September 1, 2022, <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=20073" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform reported</a>, “During a June 30, 2022, NYC Council meeting regarding anti-Semitism at CUNY, Professor Davis attributed the issue to ‘White Christian nationalism.’”

Campus Reform continued, “The Council meeting came as a response to a number of anti-Semitic incidents at CUNY…including a resolution passed on December 2021 by the CUNY Law Student Government Association demanding that the university ‘cut all ties’ with Israel and endorse the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.”

The <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dm4Sv9QsbzgdyrOhpVABkEZuLskrkcWp9MgjiQRDsG4/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BDS Resolution</a> “is a Palestinian-led global movement that aims to end international support for Israeli violations of international by forcing companies, institutions, and governments to change their policies.”

The Resolution also “calls for the end of Israeli occupation and colonization of all Arab lands and dismantling the Wall, the recognition of the fundamental rights of Palestinian citizens of Israel, and the full right of return of Palestinian refugees.” 

Davis also supports <a href="https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2021/S4461" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NY State Senate Bill S4461A -The New Deal for CUNY</a>. The general purpose of the New Deal “is intended to reestablish [CUNY] as an engine for social and economic mobility by waiving all tuition and creating certain staff-to-student ratios in order to increase student success.” 

Davis <a href="https://youtu.be/SDLL_7yTq90" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoke out during a protest</a> in favor of the New Deal, stating,

“Students need safe and clean buildings and excellent facilities. They deserve more academic advisers and more mental health counselors to support their progress toward their degrees. They deserve access to full-time faculty, not those that need to rush off to their next gig.” 

He continued,

“CUNY students don’t deserve anything less just because half of them come from [low-income] families. They don’t deserve less just because 80 percent of CUNY students are students of color. They don’t deserve less just because 35 percent of them were born in a foreign country. No, they deserve at least as much if not more as any other student.”

Eric Lott <a href="https://www.gc.cuny.edu/people/eric-lott" target="_blank" rel="noopener">works within the Center for Humanities at the City University of New York</a>. He’s also the Distinguished Professor of American Studies, Professor of English, and Professor of Africana Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center. Lott has authored multiple books including “Black Mirror: The Cultural Contradictions of American Racism.” 

In September 2017, the book became available for purchase through an online catalog hosted by <a href="https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674967717" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard University Press</a>. The Press published an “About This Book” section that says, 

“Blackness, as the entertainment and sports industries well know, is a prized commodity in American pop culture. Marketed to white consumers, black culture invites whites to view themselves in a mirror of racial difference, while at the same time offering the illusory reassurance that they remain ‘wholly’ white.”

The Press also mentioned Lott’s <a href="https://www.cc.com/video/ltlgca/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noah-reminder-race-is-not-a-costume" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appearance on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah</a>. The episode discussed why blackface never makes a good Halloween costume. The show also featured a Comedy Central video called “Reminder: Race is not a Costume,” which explains how cosmetically darkening one’s skin is offensive in black culture. 

Lott shows up at a Halloween party during the opening monologue, introduces himself, and proceeds to explain how blackface is “rooted in the history and politics of slavery.” He says, 

“[Blackface] is an attempt to control and own the black image. Minstrel shows dominated popular culture and when they died out at the end of that century, [it] migrated to Hollywood…Blackface performers on stage would present slaves singing, dancing, having a grand old time, cutting up, and telling jokes. The whole thing was rooted in white supremacy.”

In his book “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Love_Theft/AA4LQGPw8f8C?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=Love+and+Theft:+Blackface+Minstrelsy+and+the+American+Working+Class&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Love and Theft: Blackface Minstrelsy and the American Working Class,</a>” Lott further explains how minstrel shows were appropriated purely for white entertainment. He claims, 

“Although [minstrels] arose from a white obsession with black (male) bodies which underlies white racial dread to our own day, it ruthlessly disavowed its fleshly investments through ridicule and racist lampoon. Yet I am not so sure this is the end of the story.”

<a href="https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/profiles/stanley-thangaraj" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stanley “Stan” Thangaraj is an Associate Professor of Anthropology</a> at the City College of New York. He specializes in race and sports, gender and sports, and immigration. In a short video, Thangaraj explained his interest in “how immigrants negotiate what it means to be American by looking and practicing in everyday American sports.” He believes "the Trump presidency and the rise of white supremacy presented an opportunity to study the facts of racism in our country.”

In the introduction of his book, “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Desi_Hoop_Dreams/V3bVCQAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=desi+hoop+dreams:+pick+up+basketball+and+the+making+of+asian+american+masculinity&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Desi Hoop Dreams: Pick-Up Basketball and the Making of Asian American Masculinity</a>,” Thangaraj says, “South Asian Americans participate in basketball and other mainstream U.S. sporting cultures to express sporting desires and perform identities as certain types of racialized athletes.” Thangaraj was also a guest on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/tn/podcast/more-than-a-game-sports-race-and-masculinity/id871241283?i=1000500349600" target="_blank" rel="noopener">This Anthro Life podcast in an episode titled More than a Game: Sports, Race, and Masculinity in Diaspora</a>. The episode discussed what globally popular sports reveal about U.S. race relations and how the Black Lives Matter movement impacted nonwhite and nonblack communities.

Professor Thangaraj leads two projects focused on gender and race. The first examines how Muslim Kurdish women in America are seen not as “victims of Islamic patriarchy, [but] how women assert agency and form identities…while challenging mainstream U.S. racializations of them.” The second project is based on the Civil Rights movement's race, class, and sexuality as it is presented in the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee.

Thangaraj identifies as an ally of the LGBTQ community at CCNY. Thereby, his courses affirm to students of all genders, and his classrooms and offices are “safe spaces.” Anthropology of Gender and Sexuality is primarily listed among the courses he teaches.

<a href="http://music.hunter.cuny.edu/faculty/full-time-faculty/philip-ewell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philip Ewell</a> is a Professor of Music Theory at Hunter College of the City University of New York (CUNY) and the Director of Graduate Studies in the Music Department. Ewell’s university profile says his research interests include race studies in music theory, modal theory, and hip-hop and popular music.

Ewell is quoted in a <a href="https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2022/11/11/profile-philip-ewell-01-the-cellist-shaping-music-theorys-racial-reckoning/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yale News profile</a> stating,

“In the mid-20th century, the conceptions of excellence by which he was surrounded were deeply intertwined with ideals of whiteness and maleness. One was not supposed to admit such a notion aloud; instead, it was safer to put forth ‘that Mozart and Beethoven were simply the best composers on the planet.’”

Yale News continued,

“In his most well-known work to date, ‘Music Theory’s Racial Frame,’ Ewell argued for the existence of a structural and institutional white racial frame to the practice of music theory as a whole, and put forth the possibility of reframing the practice in a non-supremacist manner.”

Within the article, Ewell also branded his father — who is an African-American — as a racist and said he “believed deeply in the tenets of Communism.” In Ewell’s discussion regarding race in music, Yale News said, “He brought up his own Black father’s white supremacist as a counterargument; the hierarchy he imposed entailed white supremacy by definition…Ewell called this phenomenon the ‘concentric circles of white supremacy.’”

Ewell published a blog titled “<a href="https://musictheoryswhiteracialframe.wordpress.com/2020/04/10/racism-sexism-and-their-intersection-in-music-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race, Gender, and Their Intersection in Music Theory</a>” where he discusses how American music theory only recognizes Ancient Greek, Latin, Italian, French and German. He wrote, “Music theory’s white racial frame believes that the only foreign music theoretical works worth studying were written in these five languages.”

Regarding music programs on college campuses he argues, “Seminars featuring 100% white-male music theorists create hostile environments for POC (people of color) and nonmales, and, especially, nonmales of color.” He also claimed the courses are “all-white all-male seminars” that “highlight the intersection of race and gender in music theory.”

<a href="https://politicalscience.sonoma.edu/faculty-staff/barry-preisler">Barry Preisler</a> is a Lecturer in the Political Science Department at Sonoma State University.  According to his university biography, Preisler has taught at Sonoma for over 15 years and his area of expertise is the Middle East. Preisler’s courses include International Political Economy, Modern Political Ideologies, Ideas and Institutions, and American Political Institutions. 
As revealed by a confidential source who recorded the lecture in full, Preisler accused conservatives of being “under the grasp of fascism” in Preisler’s introductory class, Modern Political Ideologies.

In the same recorded lecture, Preisler stated that present-day conditions  “overlap” with fascist movements just prior to World War II. He explained that the class would be studying the rise of fascism, especially as the nation is currently witnessing the “re-emergence” of the same fascist powers.
Preisler asserted that prominent leftist academics and authors would be mandatory reading in the course, such as Naomi Klein’s, Shock Doctrine &#8211; Disaster Capitalism, Chris Hedges’, American Fascists, and selections from Noam Chomsky.
The recorded lecture continued with Preisler disparaging his students who identified as libertarians.

Explaining the course’s topics, Preisler praised the constitution written during the French Revolution, stating that it was even “more extensive” than our own Bill of Rights.
The recorded lecture continued with Preisler praising Marx stating that, while he possessed “mistaken insights”, he was “dead on target” that capitalism would destroy itself. Preisler then insinuated that the alleged self-destruction of capitalism was only corrected with the New Deal’s “spectacularly successful” effort in restraining the free market.
In the same lecture sent by TPUSA’s confidential source, Preisler also insinuated that “a former president” could be easily assassinated.

Preisler’s insinuation that bullets are democratic is that bullets are indiscriminate about who they kill.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.”

Inoue believes that even the physical proximity of white people causes racism. In a YouTube video of Inoue speaking before the 2019 Convention of the National Council of Teachers of English, Inoue <a href="https://youtu.be/brPGTewcDYY?t=994" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states that even the presence of white people “perpetuates racism.</a>”

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

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

&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.”

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.”

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.”

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.

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>).”

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.”

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.”

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.

<a href="https://www.ithaca.edu/first-generation-students/ithaca-firsts-mentor-program/paula-ioanide-center-study-culture-race-and-ethnicity">Paula Ioanide</a> is an Associate Professor in the Center for the Study of Culture, Race, and Ethnicity at Ithaca College. Her university profile states that Ioanide “is passionate about social justice, equity, ending mass incarceration, and creating cultures of resistance that honor people’s dignity. She teaches courses of systemic racism, gender and sexual politics, mass incarceration, and the politics of whiteness in the United States.”
According to the website for her organization <a href="https://risetoequity.com/dr-paula-ioanide">Rise to Equity</a>, Ioanide studied under Professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angeladavis">Angela Davis</a> in the <a href="https://histcon.ucsc.edu/index.html">History of Consciousness</a> program at the University of California, Santa Cruz. According to<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/former-black-panther-angela-davis-shocked-learn-descendant-mayflower"> Fox News</a>, “Davis is notorious for working with the Communist Party USA and the Black Panther Party in the 1960s and 70s. Her involvement in the armed takeover of a California courtroom resulted in four deaths and her placement on the FBI&#8217;s Most Wanted List.”
Ioanide is also a “Diversity and Inclusion Influencer” for Rise to Equity. Through this organization, Ioanide seeks to “make current DEI scholarship understandable and practical.” Ionaide also helps “people build equitable, diverse, and inclusive workplaces and organizations in two ways.”:
“I conduct general workshops focused on offering people ‘best practices’ related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. My extensive experience in facilitating workshops on these issues has taught me to approach this work with compassion, honesty, and commitment.”
“I offer personal consultation services to organizations and businesses that are interested in developing an DEI plan specific to their workplace needs and structures. I invite you to join me in co-creating a thrivable, equitable world for all.”
In her first book, titled <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Emotional-Politics-Racism-Colorblindness-Comparative/dp/0804795479">“The Emotional Politics of Racism”</a> (2015), Ioanide argued: 
“Clearly, almost all the affective presumptions and embodied entitlements assumed by dominant Americans correlate with white racial identity and/or U.S. citizenship.” 
Ioanide does not address what she means by “affective presumptions and embodied entitlements.”
She continues by discussing entitlements, which she claims white people are born with, along with other mental and behavioral patterns that they allegedly possess: 
“Although we may presume that white people are born with such entitlements, it is important to understand that dominant white Americans’ embodied organization is also affirmed by projections, external gazes, and cultural assumptions expressed by other people, including people of color. In other words, it is not just that white American citizens give these entitlements to themselves, or that legal and institutional systems constantly reinforce them; the practices of other people award these entitlements to dominant Americans by virtue of not questioning, not disrupting, or not reformulating the cultural associations that coalesce into American-ness = citizenship = whiteness.”
Ioanide uses the term “dominant U.S. publics” in her book, which she defines in the following manner: 
“[M]y phrase dominant U.S. publics tries to suggest that whiteness and American-ness manifest in embodied identities; but they are also ideological worldviews and value systems that people of color and minorities can (consciously or unconsciously) reinforce.”
Following “The Emotional Politics of Racism,” Ioanide co-edited and co-wrote a book titled, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Antiracism-Inc-Racial-Justice-Matters/dp/1950192237">Antiracism Inc. “Why the Way We Talk about Racial Justice Matters”</a> (2019).
In the book’s first chapter, titled “Antiracism Incorporated,” co-authors Felice Blake and Ioanide and claim that Martin Luther King Jr. is a “moral authority.” This title is used when referring to Arizona Superintendent of Education Tom Horne’s allusion to King when he was arguing “for the state’s ban on ethnic studies programs.”
“Appropriating King’s moral authority, Horne declares himself the champion of antiracism. In a gross neutralization of King’s radical visions for racial justice, Horne mimics antiracist claims to reproduce racial oppression.”
Towards the end of the chapter, the authors explain the objective of the book:
“Antiracism Inc.: Why the Way We Talk about Racial Justice Matters grapples with the peculiar impasses produced when the empirical evidence of systemic racism’s persistence fails to make a diﬀerence due to the assumption that liberal democracies are already antiracist. 
Moreover, they state that “Antiracism Inc…” 
 “[C]ontends with the very real problems people face in communities where their testimonies are refused, inverted, or incorporated toward agendas that further their oppression. [And the book] examines the ways intra-racial and intracommunal hurts and conﬂicts are negotiated given the dominant refusal to acknowledge systemic grievances.”
The authors also address what they deem are obstacles to “racial justice movements:”
“Currently, radical racial justice movements face the enormous challenge of ﬁghting the resurgence of overt forms of racism in the neo-fascist era of Trump, and the covert forms embedded in neoliberal institutional policies that endorse sanitized and de-radicalized forms of antiracism, diversity, multiculturalism, and colorblindness.”
They further claim that those who contest political correctness do so for racial purposes: 
“Yet in practice, the opposition to political correctness in favor of free speech is a thinly veiled mechanism for protecting and reifying white racial hegemony.”
According to the authors, free speech is used as a guide to attack other racial groups:
“Hostility towards a politically correct term like “undocumented” for instance, is about preserving the right to discriminate against “illegal aliens” as a way to protect citizens and the nation. Resistance to the phrase “white privilege” and to critiques of traditional masculinity is about maintaining control over who represents the national collective.”
In an article for <a href="https://www.ithaca.edu/news/race-power-and-resistance-major-will-center-under-represented-voices">IC News</a>, Ioanide “highlighted the flexibility of [Ithaca College’s Race, Power and Resistance]&#8230; major”: 
“We conceptualized the race, power and resistance major with flexibility in mind. It was to allow students to not only explore our department, but also multiple departments to get those different interdisciplinary perspectives… The Ithaca Forever plan includes the goal that Ithaca College will become a model for diversity, equity and inclusion.”

<a href="http://faculty.ithaca.edu/eisenste/">Dr. Zillah Eisenstein</a> is the Emerita Professor of Political Science at Ithaca College, New York. Eisenstein gave a lecture at Cornell University entitled, “Thinking about Hetero-Racist Misogyny in Agriculture.” In this lecture, she contended that agriculture was a, “capitalist, radicalized patriarchy” and called the United States a “fascist democracy.”

Sean Eversley Bradwell is an <a href="https://www.ithaca.edu/faculty/seversley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associate Professor in the Department of Education at Ithaca College</a>. His research and teaching interests include educational policy, pedagogy, and social change. His university profile also says he was the director of the Center for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Social Change (IDEAS). 

In response to an <a href="https://theithacan.org/news/campus-community-discusses-racist-video-posted-by-student/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alleged racist video</a> posted by an Ithaca student in 2019, <a href="https://theithacan.org/news/panel-discusses-origins-and-ownership-of-the-n-word/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Ithacan published a story</a> on Bradwell discussing the origins, ownership, and usage of the “N-word.” 

“Bradwell’s lecture detailed the history of the N-word from possible etymologies to the transition from “n—er” to “n—a” as a result of its colloquial use among black comedians and hip-hop artists,” The Ithacan said.

The Ithacan further stated, “Bradwell explained that the first recorded usage of the N-word was in 1786, but etymologists can trace the usage of the word back to the 1570s. There are several competing etymologies to explain the creation of the N-word, but Bradwell said regardless of the origin, the word has always had a negative connotation.”  

The video incident also led Bradwell to clarify, in his view, the appropriate uses of the N-word. In a column titled “<a href="https://theithacan.org/columns/who-gets-to-say-the-n-word/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Who gets to say the N-word</a>,” the author — who attended Bradwell’s panel discussion — concluded, 

“The term n—a came about in the late 1970s from black comedians and was further popularized by rap and hip-hop artists like Tupac Shakur, who argued that the word n—a can function as a term of affection…When black people use n—a, it normalizes the word to the point where nonblack folks feel perfectly comfortable saying it.”

The student, who was reportedly a “person of color,” did not incur discipline for using the slur to refer to herself in the video.

In January 2021, Bradwell signed the “<a href="https://theithacan.org/opinion/letter-from-bipoc-faculty-to-faculty-council-nov-19-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Letter from BIPOC faculty to Faculty Council, Nov. 19, 2020.</a>” BIPOC is an acronym for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. In response to issues with the college’s Senior Leadership Team, the letter states,

“We write as a group of BIPOC faculty at Ithaca College who have no communal affiliation other than our shared experiences at this predominantly white institution. We do not claim to speak for all BIPOC faculty.”

“As BIPOC faculty, we are called to speak in response to long-standing inequities at Ithaca College. Only in recent years has the college made progress in hiring BIPOC faculty. As a result, in this time of uncertainty, the majority of BIPOC faculty are untenured.”

“If you wish to retain us, talk to us, not about us; listen to us and think about the ways you contribute to an environment where racialized bodies are constantly under attack…We offer this statement because we are part of this community and want to foster a space where everyone feels welcome to engage in dialogue.”

Belisa Gonzalez is a Professor of Psychology and <a href="https://www.ithaca.edu/faculty/bgonzalez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Director of the Center for Study of Culture, Race and Ethnicity</a> for Ithaca College.

As a former member and co-chair of the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ATLAROC/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atlanta Organizing Committee (AOC) for Undoing Racism</a>, Gonzalez gained experience in community organizing and she participated in workshops to “better understand interweaving systems of oppression and their consequences on everyday lives…”

In 2015, Gonzalez <a href="https://youtu.be/OV-wKIK68Ac" target="_blank" rel="noopener">participated in a staged walkout</a> to support 1,000 Ithaca students who demanded the resignation of campus President Tom Rochon. The protest was organized in response to Rochon’s handling of race-related incidents on campus. <a href="https://theithacan.org/news/over-1000-ithaca-college-students-walk-out-to-protest-racism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Ithacan reported,</a> “The Student Government Association [held] a vote of no confidence against Rochon, while Faculty Council passed a motion to hold a faculty vote of no confidence.”

Gonzalez said, “‘I hope that more awareness and more momentum will come out of this event. POC at IC talked about their goals. I see faculty and staff everywhere and this is an issue that is not going away. I hope the administration sees that and does something about it.”’

In January 2021, Gonzalez signed the “<a href="https://theithacan.org/opinion/letter-from-bipoc-faculty-to-faculty-council-nov-19-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Letter from BIPOC faculty to Faculty Council, Nov. 19, 2020.</a>” BIPOC is an acronym for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.

School Transportation News quoted Gonzalez saying,

“‘Often, people are made to feel like they don’t belong, particularly those who are underrepresented in a particular occupation. That feeling of exclusion affects work performance, not because of an individual deficiency but because people must expend energy anticipating and navigating an inhospitable workplace.’”

<a href="https://www.ithaca.edu/faculty/chenderson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cynthia Henderson</a> is a Professor of Acting in the School of Music, Theater, and Dance, and Chair of the Department of Theater and Dance Performance at Ithaca College. She’s also the founder of <a href="http://www.pa4sc.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Performing Arts for Social Change</a> — a theater, music, and dance program with a mission to “raise awareness and educate by giving a voice to important societal issues that are often overlooked.”

On one project — “<a href="http://www.pa4sc.com/projects.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">An Exploration of Race, Privilege and the Learning Environment</a>” — Henderson’s performing arts program fostered discussions at Ithaca High School after a 2018 student “<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427327/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hairspray</a>” finale. The project description says, 

“[A] very diverse group of people…came together in the chorus room…Through the genre of theatre, this group acted out, wrote, spoke, listened, and explored difficult truths about broken trust, racial bias, privilege, profiling, micro-aggressions and institutional racism.”

Spectrum News 1 featured Henderson in an article titled “<a href="https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny/human-interest/2020/05/23/ithaca-college-promotes-first-ever-full-time-black-professor#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ithaca College Promoting African American Professor Becomes Historic.</a>”  The subtitle of the article says, “First African American Promoted to Full Professor,” and the reporter claimed the college “has been educating students for almost 130 years, but it’s taken until 2020 for an African American person to become a full professor there.”

Henderson recalled a moment within her 20-year career at Ithaca, stating,

“[In the] 2020-2021 academic year, I received a phone call [from] a male voice saying, ‘We don’t need N-word, B-word, people like you teaching at our college.’ There weren’t very many African Americans. I think you can count them on one hand. Through the years, I’ve dealt with a lot of bias.”

In an op-ed from 2014, Conoley stated that if you are “light-skinned” you have “significant unearned privilege.” Moreover, these privileged individuals show distrust and “lower expectations of behavior” of those with another skin color.

*Following coverage by the Professor Watchlist team, Michael Park is no longer listed as an instructor at California State University-Long Beach.*
Michael Park is an instructor at California State University-Long Beach. He used a media law class to disparage Tea Partiers and conservatives as being birthers. In an assignment, he implied that opposition to President Obama is based on a belief that he is not a "true American". This is similar to a class taught by Christopher Knap, a fellow CSULB professor that assigned a homework assignment implying Trump is homophobic/sexist.

<a href="https://cla.csulb.edu/departments/africanastudies/faculty-and-staff/maulana-karenga/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Maulana Karenga</a> is Chair of <a href="https://cla.csulb.edu/departments/africanastudies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Africana Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.csulb.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California State University - Long Beach</a>. Dr. Karenga was a prominent black nationalist during the 1960s and 1970s, during which time he founded the holiday, “Kwanzaa.” Prone to extremity and paranoia, Dr. Karenga was convicted for the imprisonment and torture of two women he falsely suspected of poisoning him.

Born Ronald McKinley Everett, Dr. Karenga founded <a href="http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/45a/767.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kwanzaa as a pan-African holiday</a> in 1966. Despite that most American blacks are descended from West Africa, the name and traditions are based on East African Swahili. He would further <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/12/kwanzaa__a_madeup_holiday_.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">state the holiday’s proximity to Christmas was intentional, as otherwise it wouldn't be noticed</a> by the black community.

People think it’s African. But it’s not. I wanted to give black people a holiday of their own. So I came up with Kwanzaa. I said it was African because you know black people in this country wouldn’t celebrate it if they knew it was American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that’s when a lot of bloods [blacks] would be partying!

Dr. Kerenga intended for Kwanzaa to replace Christian and Jewish holidays. As he wrote in his book—Kawaida Theory—Western faith, “denies and diminishes human worth, capacity, potential and achievement." In Christian and Jewish mythology, humans are born in sin, cursed with mythical ancestors who've sinned and brought the wrath of an angry God on every generation's head.”

Dr. Karenga adopted his current name after embracing black nationalism while living on the West Coast in the 1960s. He would go on to found his own group—titled, <a href="https://www.us-organization.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Organization US</a>—as a more radical alternative to his rivals in the Black Panther Party.

<a href="http://web.stanford.edu/~ccarson/articles/am_left.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Black Panthers</a>—known officially as the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense—was a black-nationalist and Marxist organization that operated largely in California during the 1960s and 1970s. Known for their violent tactics and enforcement of party discipline, members would<a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/whitewashing-the-black-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> pour boiling water over suspected </a>police informants. Co-founder, Huey Newton, is <a href="https://www.salon.com/1999/12/13/betty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspected to have taken part in multiple murders</a> committed by the Panthers.

Dr. Karenga’s organization frequently clashed with the rival, Black Panthers. Following a dispute over who would lead the Afro-American Studies Center at UCLA, <a href="https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/600011/posts?page=7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Organization US members shot two Black Panthers to death on the campus in 1969</a> which set off a series of shootings across Los Angeles that summer. The incident caused Dr. Karenga to fall into paranoia and suspect his own followers of plotting to kill him.

On the evening of May 9th, 1970, Dr. Karenga and several of his followers confronted two women who were staying at his home. He accused both of placing poison “crystals” in his food and water. According to court testimony, the women were then stripped naked, bound, and ordered to confess. Dr. Karenga tortured both women over the next two days, beating each with an electrical cord, and then branded them with a soldering iron.

While awaiting trial, Dr. Karenga’s mental health continued to deteriorate. The court-appointed psychologist found him to be schizophrenic, and reportedly caught Dr. Karenga speaking to hallucinations in his jail cell:

“Since his admission here he has been isolated and has been exhibiting bizarre behavior, such as staring at the wall, talking to imaginary persons, claiming that he was attacked by dive-bombers and that his attorney was in the next cell. During part of the interview he would look around as if reacting to a hallucination and when the examiner walked away for a moment he began a conversation with a blanket located on his bed. This man now presents a picture which can be considered both paranoid and schizophrenic with hallucinations and elusions, inappropriate affect, disorganization, and impaired contact with the environment.” 

The court later sentenced him to one to ten years in jail for two counts of felonious assault, and one count of false imprisonment. However, he was granted parole in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kwanzaa-was-invented-insane-leftist-gangster-who-michael-j-knowles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1975 thanks to a letter-writing campaign by his followers.</a>

While in jail, Karenga converted his ideology from Black Nationalism to explicit Marxism. In 1978, just a few years after his release, Dr. Karenga was hired as the Chair of the African Studies department, where he now resides as of March 2022.

<a href="https://www.csulb.edu/college-of-education/teacher-education/page/noah-asher-golden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Noah Golden</a> is an Associate Professor of Teacher Education at California State University, Long Beach. According to his university profile, his work “engages socio-cultural and critical approaches to literacy education, and centers on issues of equity and opportunity.” When asked about his research interests, Golden writes:
“My scholarship investigates the social positioning of minoritized students as well as these students’ endeavors to (re)position themselves along desired storylines and life trajectories. This research agenda includes the factors and sets of conditions that support student (re)positioning, including critical literacy practice, justice-oriented teacher education and activism, and responsive, strength-based teaching and learning.”

In this piece, Golden wrote:
“Software plays a central role in maintaining separate and unequal educational opportunities for marginalized youth.” 
He claims software “converts lived realities, learner strengths, and communal needs into a number, cluster grouping, or other data points,” which can “produce or reproduce systems of privilege and oppression.”

He further argues that when schools use this software, “educational access and deservingness is outsourced to algorithms” that help in “maintaining racial and class privilege and contributing to the oppression of marginalized learners.”

<a href="https://complit.princeton.edu/people/wendy-belcher-0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wendy Belcher</a> is a Professor of African Literature with a joint appointment in the Princeton University Department of Comparative Literature and the Department for African American Studies. 
Belcher’s university profile states: 
“Working at the intersection of diaspora, postcolonial, medieval, and early modern studies, she has a special interest in the literatures of Ethiopia and Ghana and is working to bring attention to early African literature (written between 1300 and 1900), particularly that in African languages, through her research and translation.”
In April 2024, Belcher signed a “<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/04/princeton-opinion-opguest-faculty-staff-solidarity-palestine-protestors-columbia-barnard-encampment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement of solidarity with Columbia University students from Princeton faculty and staff</a>.” The statement came after student protestors established a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on the lawns of Columbia University, disrupting campus operations, sparking safety concerns, and causing classes to be <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/columbia-university-moves-classes-online-as-pro-palestine-protests-spark-safety-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held remotely</a> for the remainder of the semester. 
The statement begins: 
“We, Princeton University faculty and staff, affirm our solidarity with and support for the Columbia University and Barnard College students who are continuing to demand that the university divest from Israel’s genocide in Gaza and ongoing occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and other Palestinian land.” 
The signatories have committed to boycotting Columbia University and Barnard College until several demands are met, including: 
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We call upon the Columbia University administration to reinstate those students who were wrongfully suspended for exercising their constitutionally recognized right to speech and peaceful assembly.”</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We demand that all charges be dismissed and expunged from their student records, and that all rights and privileges be restored to them immediately.” </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We call upon the Columbia University administration to remove the New York City Police Department from campus. All criminal charges that have been brought against student protestors who were arrested by the NYPD at the behest of the university administration should be dropped immediately.” </li>
</ul>
The faculty and staff have also called for the university to reverse the suspension of two student groups, Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine and Columbia Jewish Voice for Peace. They concluded their statement with the following: 
“We vow to withhold our academic labor from Columbia and Barnard, not to participate in conferences and other campus events, and not to collaborate with university institutions until such time as the administration has met these demands and demonstrated its commitments to upholding the well-established norms of unrestricted scholarly inquiry and academic freedom.”

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

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

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

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

According to her University biography, Dr. Taylor is a scholar of racial inequity in public policymaking, and writes “extensively” about race, politics, and “radical activism.”

As a Professor and political commentator, Dr. Taylor offers her opinion across a wide variety of social media platforms and media outlets. She is known to condemn capitalism, the United States, and Israel while lauding socialism and the Soviet Union.

On her personal <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter account</a>, Dr. Taylor smears Israel as a racial, apartheid state that actively commits genocide against Arabs in the Middle East. In one tweet, she alleges that Israel is attempting to “annihilate” Palestine:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
The consequence of apartheid is not separation, it’s annihilation. End the occupation, free Palestine <a href="https://t.co/2jUOpL3oBq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/2jUOpL3oBq</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

In another post, she flagrantly alleges that Israel is engaged in the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and Gaza, despite the <a href="https://www.camera.org/article/methodist-staffer-demonizes-israel-reveals-ignorance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resident Arab population quadrupling since 1948</a>,
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
What we are witnessing is not the “eviction” of Palestinians from their homes. This is ethnic cleansing. This is the most basic expression of settler colonialism. This is the illegal and immoral expulsion of Palestinians with the expectation they are “accepted” elsewhere. <a href="https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Dr. Taylor likewise alleges the United States is a brutally racist and oppressive society. In an article for the Marxist publication, Jacobin,<a href="https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/05/reparations-slavery-racism-united-states-foundation" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> she depicts racism as foundational to the United States</a>.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1846" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-19T122121.004-e1637349803441-1024x363.png" alt="" width="500" height="177" />

A frequent critic of policing, which she views as systemic racism embedded in the United States, Dr. Taylor lauds the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as a “liberation struggle.” With communist, vice-presidential candidate, and Black Panther Party member, <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angeladavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angela Davis</a>, writing the forward, Dr. Taylor’s book—<a href="https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1646-from-blacklivesmatter-to-black-liberation-expanded-second-edition">From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation</a>—she praises the movement for having “awakened a new generation of activists” that will fight for “black liberation.”

BLM was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder. After a jury acquitted Zimmerman in 2013, <a href="https://patrissecullors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrice Cullors</a> joined with <a href="https://aliciagarza.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alicia Garza</a> and <a href="https://www.opaltometi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Opal Tometi</a> to found an organization, <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as stated on its website</a>.

“....whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes.” 

BLM came to further prominence following the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/gunshots-looting-after-grand-jury-in-ferguson-case-does-not-indict-officer-in-michael-brown-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">riots in Ferguson, Missouri</a> in reaction to the acquittal of police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of robbery suspect, Michael Brown. Although later determined that Brown had attacked the officer, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hands-up-dont-shoot-makes-wapos-list-of-outlandish-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BLM was instrumental in spreading the lie</a> that Brown was shot at point-blank range with his hands raised.

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

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

&nbsp;

Dr. Taylor’s positive view on socialism extends to the embrace of communist dictatorships. While attending the “This is Socialism!” conference in 2017, Dr. Taylor delivered a speech that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndSASqMLYMg&amp;ab_channel=WeAreManyMedia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">praised the Russian Revolution</a> for its inspiration towards American communists and "revolution" against capitalism.

&nbsp;

Despite her praise, the Bolshevik Revolution and the resulting formation of the Soviet Union cost millions of lives. Upon overthrowing the Russian government in October 1917, Vladimir Lenin immediately set up <a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=lenin%27s+red+terror&amp;atb=v263-1&amp;ia=web" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a series of concentration camps for political prisoners and led the Soviet secret police in a brutal crackdown</a> known as the “Red Terror.” As many as one million people perished before the carnage ended with the cessation of the Russian Civil War in 1921. Over the course of the USSR's existence, as <a href="https://fee.org/articles/the-staggering-toll-of-the-russian-revolution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">many as 60 million people perished under Soviet rule</a>.

In recognition of her work, Dr. Taylor was <a href="https://aas.princeton.edu/news/2021-macarthur-fellow-keeanga-yamahtta-taylor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">awarded a MacArthur Foundation “Genius” Award</a> in 2021.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gabrie’l Atchison is the instructor for AAS 220/GSS 229: Body Politics: Black Queer Visibility and Representation at Princeton University. The <a href="https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?term=1234&amp;courseid=016604" target="_blank" rel="noopener">class description</a> states that the curriculum will “examine Black LGBTQ+ representation across various media including documentaries, television, social media, and literature.”

Atchison’s profile — which can only be found on the class description page — also shows her research “includes gender-based environmental violence, environmental racism/justice, ecofeminism, feminist/queer theology…Black church history…and African American women’s literary criticism.” 

Atchison contributes to a blog called <a href="https://www.antiracistdevotional.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racist Devotional</a>. On <a href="https://www.antiracistdevotional.org/dr-gabriel-atchison" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atchison’s About page</a> she describes herself as a “Black Feminist theologian” and the Congregational Development Director at Trinity Episcopal Church who researches “the role of the church in the racial identity development of Black Episcopalians.”

In her book titled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B6GQR4FJ/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0?asin=B0B6GQR4FJ&amp;revisionId=ca68030b&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Are You the Unchurched?: How to Develop an Authentic Relationship with God inside or outside the Church</a>,” Atchison remarked on survey results from a Christian research institute. She said,

“Overwhelmingly, young adults who were studied named hostility toward [LGBTQ+] people as the reason they do not attend church…Based on my understanding of the research, the unchurched are Christians who are:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">College-educated</li>

 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Independently minded…”</li>
</ul>
In the opening paragraph of Atchison’s 2020 blog entry “<a href="https://gabrieljatchison.wordpress.com/2020/11/22/the-folly-of-hope/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Folly of Hope</a>,” she declared,


“Trump exposed all our fault lines due to systemic racism, class exploitation and greed. His initial election and very close re-election should act as a clarion call for us to enact sweeping and lasting social change…”

“Trump has no agenda, but his Puppet Masters do…This election exposed in a raw and unrelenting way, how many people in positions of power feel like people of color simply do not have the right to vote.”

Atchison goes on to identify herself as a “progressive [who finds] Joe Biden significantly inadequate for the task at hand.” She disagrees with any approach Biden may have to unite the nation and she believes the Democratic Party passed up “so many better qualified presidential candidates, with creative ideas…to elect a man whose platform is centrist and apolog[ist].”

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

<a href="https://sociology.princeton.edu/people/frederick-wherry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frederick Wherry</a> is the Class of 1917 Professor of Sociology at Princeton University. In June 2022, he was named the inaugural vice dean for diversity and inclusion by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty.

Princeton’s Office of Communications <a href="https://www.princeton.edu/news/2022/06/30/wherry-appointed-vice-dean-diversity-and-inclusion-princetons-office-dean-faculty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published Wherry’s appointment</a> in an announcement wherein the university president said, “‘After spending time with Professor Wherry and learning more about the impact and interventions of his scholarship, [and] his profound commitment to educating our students…he struck me as the ideal colleague to augur our efforts in fulfilling the vision of the vice dean for diversity and inclusion.’”

In the same publication, Wherry said,

“‘Diversity and inclusion are critical to our core mission. When our faculty and academic professionals can participate fully in our shared endeavor, we are all able to see problems in new ways, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, making way for innovation.’”

As the Director of the <a href="https://www.dignityanddebt.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Digntiy and Debt Network</a>, Wherry leads an organization of “experts” who research concepts of “dignity, respect, and fairness” in lending and debt collection. The organization studies debt along racial and socio-economic lines and states one of its goals is “to change the conversation about credit and debt among those measuring financial access and wellness…[b]y developing novel visualizations of dignity and debt…”

Wherry is in favor of canceling student loan debt. He believes borrowers are “victims” while lenders are “perpetrators.”

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

“Her research and teaching lie at the intersections of law, science, technology and society; women, gender and sexuality; reproduction, health and medicine; Islam and secularism; colonialism, postcolonialism and globality; historical anthropology and epistemology; political economy; and language, discourse and narrative.”
Larson <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/princeton-anti-capitalist-class-teaching-black-people-considered-handicapped-systemic-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made headlines</a> for reportedly teaching a course “that claims black people can be considered disabled due to the purported systemic racism they face.” Princeton’s Undergraduate Courses-Fall 2023 <a href="https://nes.princeton.edu/courses">schedule</a> lists Larson as the instructor for “The Healing Humanities: Decolonizing Trauma Studies from the Global South.” The course description says the course:
“Introduces the transdisciplinary field of trauma studies by examining visions of humanity…Reorienting healing as a decolonizing process enables students to re-politicize personal trauma as it intersects with global legacies of violence, war, racism, slavery, patriarchy, colonialism, orientalism, homophobia, ableism, capitalism and extractivism.”

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

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

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

<a href="https://anthropology.princeton.edu/people/faculty/agustin-fuentes">Agustín Fuentes</a> is a Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University. According to his university profile, Fuentes’ “research focuses on the biosocial, delving into the entanglement of biological systems with the social and cultural lives of humans, our ancestors, and a few of the other animals with whom humanity shares close relations.” 

His profile further states the nature of his research:
“From chasing monkeys in jungles and cities, to exploring the lives of our evolutionary ancestors, to examining human health, behavior, and diversity across the globe, Professor Fuentes is interested in both the big questions and the small details of what makes humans and our close relations tick.”
In April 2024, Fuentes signed a “<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/04/princeton-opinion-opguest-faculty-staff-solidarity-palestine-protestors-columbia-barnard-encampment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement of solidarity with Columbia University students from Princeton faculty and staff</a>.” The statement came after student protestors established a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on the lawns of Columbia University, disrupting campus operations, sparking safety concerns, and causing classes to be <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/columbia-university-moves-classes-online-as-pro-palestine-protests-spark-safety-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held remotely</a> for the remainder of the semester.

In May 2023, Fuentes penned an opinion piece for Scientific American titled “<a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/heres-why-human-sex-is-not-binary/?amp;text=Here%27s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Here’s Why Human Sex Is Not Binary</a>.” He began his article by stating: 
“There are those, politicians, pundits and even a few scientists, who maintain that whether our bodies make ova or sperm are all we need to know about sex. They assert that men and women are defined by their production of these gamete cells, making them a distinct biological binary pair, and that our legal rights and social possibilities should flow from this divide.” 
Fuentes argued that this is “bad science” and that people who believe legal and policy decisions should be made based on sex “are arguing for a specific political, and discriminatory, definition of what is ‘natural’ and ‘right’ for humans based on a false representation of biology.” He went on to claim: 
“Over the past few centuries this process of misrepresentation of biology was, and still is, used to deny women rights and to justify legal and societal misogyny and inequity, to justify slavery, racialization, racism and to enforce multiple forms of discrimination and bias.” 
“Today dishonest ascriptions of what biology is are being deployed to restrict women’s bodily autonomy, target LGBTQIA+ individuals broadly and, most recently, attack the rights of transexual and transgender people.” 
Fuentes concluded his opinion piece: 
“Given what we know about biology across animals and in humans, efforts to represent human sex as binary based solely on what gametes one produces are not about biology but are about trying to restrict who counts as a full human in society.”

Lurie participated in a Columbia University and Barnard College <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/23/over-100-faculty-members-protest-in-rally-to-support-our-students-and-reclaim-our-university/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faculty protest</a> titled “Rally to Support our Students and Reclaim our University” after student protesters took over the lawns of Columbia University in April 2024.

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

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