Dr. Monger further uses his classroom to intimidate and bully students if they fail to adhere to Cornell’s COVID-19 policies.

“I wanted to ask for your help in identifying two oceans students who were photographed with their masks off during the oceans class last Friday.”
Dr. Monger proceeds to detail the physical appearance of both students, stating that one had “a fairly prominent hooked nose.” He threatens to fail both students once they are identified by himself or another student.

Cornell University

<a href="http://sts.cornell.edu/people/sbp65.cfm">Dr. Sara Pritchard</a> , a professor at Cornell University, has said that student evaluations of female professors are “pervasively slanted by gender bias” and thus prevents them from being more successful. Pritchard then goes on to say that because of blatant gender bias, female professors should be given bonus points in order to level the playing field.

<a href="https://history.cornell.edu/russell-rickford">Dr. Russell Rickford</a> is an associate professor of history at Cornell University. According to his university biography, Dr. Rickford “specializes in African-American political culture after World War II, the Black Radical Tradition, and transnational social movements.” In his various writings and teaching materials, Dr. Rickford frequently condemns the nation of Israel and alleges that the United States was founded on slavery and white supremacy.

In a book titled <a href="https://books.google.co.il/books?id=SEAeCwAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA276&amp;lpg=PA276&amp;dq=Russell+Rickford+israel&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=vIzqNlUKjC&amp;sig=KRxT1-8CHqm0mHE_Fr8k_PI9bFQ&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiqg_3_t-DTAhUDIVAKHUUCDtMQ6AEIRDAG#v=onepage&amp;q=Russell%20Rickford%20israel&amp;f=false">Beyond Boundaries: The Manning Marable Reader</a>, Dr. Rickford alleges that Israel bears ultimate responsibility for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. On page 276, Dr. Rickford states: “The US media and opinion makers repeatedly went out of their way to twist the facts and distort the political realities of the Middle East by insisting that Osama bin Laden’s group’s murderous assaults had nothing to do with Israel’s policies towards the Palestinians. Nobody else in the world, with the possible exception of the Israeli’s, really believes that.”

<a href="https://books.google.co.il/books?id=SEAeCwAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA276&amp;lpg=PA276&amp;dq=Russell+Rickford+israel&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=vIzqNlUKjC&amp;sig=KRxT1-8CHqm0mHE_Fr8k_PI9bFQ&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiqg_3_t-DTAhUDIVAKHUUCDtMQ6AEIRDAG#v=onepage&amp;q=Russell%20Rickford%20israel&amp;f=false"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1403" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Screen-Shot-2021-05-28-at-12.41.11-PM.png" alt="" width="500" height="467" /></a>

In a paper for The New Labor Forum (a labor journal published by the <a href="https://slu.cuny.edu/about/murphy-institute/">Murphy Institute</a> at the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies) titled <a href="https://newlaborforum.cuny.edu/2015/12/28/black-lives-matter-practice-of-mass-struggle/">Black Lives Matter: Toward a Modern Practice of Mass Struggle</a>, Dr. Rickford praises the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as having “reinvigorated confrontation politics.” He describes the tactics of BLM as a commitment to “militancy,” referencing their history of “occupying highways, intersections, sporting events, retail stores, malls, campaign events, police stations, and municipal buildings.”

According to a <a href="https://acleddata.com/2020/09/03/demonstrations-political-violence-in-america-new-data-for-summer-2020/">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 that “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.">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

Dr. Rickford believes the motivations behind BLM riots are “police aggression and racist violence” instigated by law enforcement.  Dr. Rickford claims that white supremacy serves as the framework of our criminal justice system—causing law enforcement agencies to view BLM protestors as “enemy combatants.”

Throughout his career, Dr. Rickford has delivered racially charged speeches and lectures. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU8G_neFEOY&amp;ab_channel=CornellReview">During a September 2014 protest at Cornell University, Dr. Rickford can be heard telling students</a> that each of them benefits from white supremacy.

Also in a 2014 lecture captured by The Cornell Review, Dr. Rickford urged his students to find white people that are “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsTQQQmYc88&amp;ab_channel=CornellReview">ready to commit race suicide</a>” on behalf of BLM and other racial justice movements.

&nbsp;

In a video captured at a BLM protest in 2016, Dr. Rickford tells a crowd of students and activists that a segment of white America is “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63J7oUdTQOE&amp;ab_channel=JoelBlizzard">overtly, irredeemably racist.</a>”

&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/07/12/lights-of-liberty-vigal-remarks/">In an article for CounterPunch</a>, Dr. Rickford states bluntly that America was founded on genocide and slavery. He made a similar claim in a 2019 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl2deMaznt8&amp;t=240s&amp;ab_channel=TheColumbusDispatchTheColumbusDispatchVerified">speech</a> at the Vigil to End Human Concentration Camps in Ithaca, NY.

According to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cornell-professor-hamas-attacks-exhilarating-students-want-him-fired-2023-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Insider</a>, during a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAZcG-ZHOz4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speech</a> made in the aftermath of the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023, Rickford stated that his observation of the conflict was “exhilarating.” He exclaimed the following:

“In those first few hours—even as horrific acts were being carried out, many of which we would not learn about until later—there were many Gazans of goodwill, many Palestinians of conscience … who were able to breathe.”

Rickford continued:
“They [Palestinians] were able to breathe for the first time in years. It was exhilarating. It was energizing. And if they weren't exhilarated by this challenge to the monopoly of violence, by this shifting of the balance of power, then they would not be human. I was exhilarated.”
And:
“What has Hamas done? Hamas has shifted the balance of power. Hamas has punctured the illusion of invincibility.”
And:
“Hamas has challenged the monopoly of violence.”
<a href="https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/cornell-university-community-demands-the">Online petitions have started</a>, calling for Rickford’s removal from Cornell University, but as of late October 2023 he remains on faculty there.
Updated - October 19, 2023
&nbsp;

In April 2024, Rickford returned to Cornell’s campus from his leave of absence to join a student-led pro-Palestinian protest.

According to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/29/us-news/cornell-prof-russell-rickford-who-called-hamas-attack-exhilarating-is-back-on-campus-cheering-on-protesters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a>, Rickford was “behind a megaphone last week celebrating the students’ protest of the war in Gaza, which included ralliers setting up their own encampment Thursday in solidarity with the ‘tent city’ at Columbia University in Manhattan.”

Rickford stated the following of Israel and Palestine on April 25:
“The liberated territory is a concept. The liberated territory is in your head. Anytime you are ready, you can become a resident, an inhabitant, a member of the occupied territory, of the forces of liberation.” 
The university has not commented upon Rickford’s return to campus or his involvement in the protests.

Despite his leave from the university, Rickford wrote an article for <a href="https://cornellsun.com/2024/04/29/rickford-the-encampment-as-a-beloved-community/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Cornell Daily Sun</a>  titled “The Encampment as a Beloved Community.” At the opening of the article, Rickford wrote favorably of the protests and unfavorably of the administration’s response, which he called “an obscene distortion:”
“In their ongoing effort to criminalize solidarity with those the western world deems disposable, Cornell administrators have <a href="https://cornellsun.com/2024/04/29/everything-that-happened-on-day-four-of-the-encampment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">portrayed</a> the encampment on the Arts Quad as a center of aggression and hatred.”
Concerning his time at the encampment, Rickford stated:
“In the few hours I spent at the encampment recently, I witnessed a safe, dynamic, radically inclusive space. Indeed, I saw an expression of what civil rights workers once called ‘the beloved community’ — a society that enshrines the practice of fellowship, mutuality and agape love.”
Rickford further addresses the encampment’s effect on the university:
“The encampment defies Cornell’s culture of conformity and narrow careerism. If the creed of individualism and the ethics of capitalist accumulation shape official campus life, a politics of caring and camaraderie guides the liberated zone. Its inhabitants rediscover themselves as political actors. They cease to be mere objects on the conveyor belt of professionalization.”
“The encampment is a makeshift university. It is a library, a cooperative, a mosque, a synagogue. It is hardly a utopia. Yet it is utopian in the sense that the terms of living that it demands are impossible under existing conditions.” 
Rickford concludes the article:
“The encampment is temporary, but it will surely spawn more ‘counterinstitutions’ able to counteract hegemonic values, unmask indecency and prefigure the just society. Prototypes of insurgent democracy will flourish as long as anticolonialism and principled internationalism are heretical and silent complicity in genocide remains the price of normalcy.”

<a href="https://cals.cornell.edu/monica-cornejo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Monica Cornejo</a> is an Assistant Professor of Interpersonal Communication at Cornell University. According to her university profile, Cornejo’s research “uses qualitative and quantitative methodologies to examine the structural barriers that lead to inequities among undocumented immigrants, how undocumented immigrants draw on communication identity management and advocacy strategies to challenge those barriers, and how those strategies relate to undocumented immigrants’ health and wellbeing.”

Cornejo was <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/cornell-professor-melts-ann-coulter-speech-escorted-cops-watch/25228" target="_blank" rel="noopener">escorted out by police</a> after she interrupted Ann Coulter’s “Immigration: The Conspiracy To End America” lecture on Cornell University’s campus in April 2024. During the question portion of the event, Cornejo — wearing a shirt that read “Keep Migrants, Deport The Racists” — stated:
“I’m an assistant professor of communication here, and one of those illegals that you mentioned. I really appreciate you coming in and talking about these issues, that way I get to know how many racist people belong to this University.” 
Afterward, Cornejo <a href="https://cornellsun.com/2024/04/17/ann-coulter-84-appearance-leads-to-faculty-arrest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">continued to interrupt</a> Coulter’s event, shouting “Racist” and putting up middle fingers in response to many of Coulter’s comments. Coulter eventually called for Cornejo’s removal, and she was arrested on the charge of disorderly conduct.

Cornejo was featured in an April 2023 article by <a href="https://cornellsun.com/2023/04/24/prof-monica-cornejo-shares-experiences-as-an-undocumented-immigrant-in-academia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Cornell Daily Sun</a> titled, “Prof. Monica Cornejo Shares Experiences as an Undocumented Immigrant in Academia.” After describing Cornejo as “one of the first undocumented tenure-track faculty members at Cornell,” she was asked how her legal status has inspired her work as a professor.
“When we talk about academia, we have this very exclusive ivory tower, where only certain people get to be brought in and [contribute to the] broader movement to support oppressed and marginalized communities. Being part of that marginalized community has pushed me in that direction to want to make change.” 
Cornejo told the publication she believes the university could do more to help undocumented students. According to The Cornell Daily Sun, “tangible actions that the University could take include creating a center and full-time team to support undocumented students.”

In another interview with the <a href="https://www.petaluma360.com/article/news/from-undocumented-petaluma-student-to-doctor-at-cornell-university/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Petaluma Argus-Courier</a>, Cornejo remarked that she negotiated her job offer with Cornell, and her acceptance was contingent on the school petitioning on her behalf for a green card. Cornejo said the university agreed to her demands and paid to hire her a lawyer for the petition process.

Brennan also serves as a <a href="https://www.centeronnationalsecurity.org/fellows#john-o-brennan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Distinguished Fellow for Global Security</a> for the Center on National Security at <a href="https://www.fordham.edu/site/index.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fordham University</a>.
Prior to both roles, Brennan served as the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/John-Brennan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Director of The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) </a>from 2013 to 2017. His service and post-CIA career have been marred with controversies, including allegations of spying on political opponents, overseas clandestine operations, and incendiary comments towards conservatives and libertarians.
In 2014, the CIA was <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2014/03/11/289085076/feinsteins-cia-outrage-splits-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused by California Senator Dianne Feinstein of illegally accessing the computers of Senate staffers</a> investigating the use of “enhanced interrogation” against detainees. <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2014/03/brennan-denies-claims-cia-hacked-senate-computers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brennan initially denied the allegations</a>, stating that, “Nothing could be further from the truth.” Brennan was later forced to apologize when an Inspector General report found that <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/213933-cia-admits-to-wrongly-hacking-into-senate-computers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate computers were in fact “hacked” by CIA officials</a>.
Brennan has been accused of arming radical Islamists during the Syrian Civil War. As The American Conservative documents, <a href="https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/how-america-armed-terrorists-in-syria/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The CIA—under Brennan&#8217;s direction—played a significant role in supplying deadly weapons to al-Qaeda affiliates</a> in an attempt to topple the Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad.
In his final years as CIA director, Brennan played a prominent role in what later became known as “Russiagate.” During the 2016 general election, intelligence agencies attempted to determine whether or not then-presidential candidate Donald Trump coordinated with the Russian Government to <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/288883-wikileaks-posts-20000-dnc-emails" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hack and release sensitive emails from the Democratic National Committee</a>. Special Counsel Robert Mueller later found that there was <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/mueller-report-found-no-evidence-of-trump-russia-collusion-justice-dept/a-48046468" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no evidence of any coordination between the Trump Campaign and the Russian Government</a>.
While investigating Trump, John Brennan relied on allegations in what became known as the “Steele Dossier”— <a href="https://www.npr.org/2017/08/23/545289362/researcher-behind-unverified-trump-dossier-meets-senate-investigators" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a series of salacious allegations and potentially compromising information against Donald Trump</a> — compiled by British Intelligence agent Christopher Steele. The <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/09/steeles-dossier-source-was-a-suspected-russian-spy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">source for the dossier was later found to be a suspected Russian Spy,</a> who likely <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/453384-fbis-spreadsheet-puts-a-stake-through-the-heart-of-steeles-dossier" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exaggerated or falsified his information</a>.
Despite <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/442944-fbis-steele-story-falls-apart-false-intel-and-media-contacts-were-flagged" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agents flagging the information as false</a>, the Steele Dossier was later used as the basis to <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2019/12/09/ig-report-confirms-no-fisa-warrant-on-carter-page-without-steele-dossier/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">obtain warrants to surveil members of the Trump campaign</a>. Initially pushing to include the information, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2019/12/09/brennan-lied-about-not-including-steele-dossier-in-intelligence-community-assessment-on-2016-russian-election-interference/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brennan later lied under congressional oath, stating he did not include the Steele Dossier in intelligence briefings</a>.
Declassified, handwritten notes from Brennan further show that he assisted in <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/dni-releases-cia-documents-hillary-204337457.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">efforts to tie the Trump campaign to Russia</a> to benefit the Hillary Clinton campaign. This is consistent with testimony accusing <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2020/05/12/fox-news-john-brennan-russia-hillary-clinton/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brennan of suppressing intelligence that the Russian Government wanted Hillary Clinton to win</a> the 2016 presidential election.
Brennan continued to publically attack President Trump after the 2016 election, accusing <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/08/19/brennan_on_sunday_i_stand_by_accusing_president_trump_of_treason.html#!" target="_blank" rel="noopener">him of “treason” against the United States on behalf of Russia</a>. Brennan <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2017/05/25/ex-cia-director-john-brennan-ive-seen-no-evidence-collusion-russia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admits that he has seen no evidence that Donald Trump colluded</a> with the Russian government to win the 2016 election.
Following the Capital Hill riots, John Brennan <a href="https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1352007118392582148?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1352007118392582148%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwearechange.org%2Feven-libertarians-john-brennan-issues-list-of-ideologies-biden-intel-community-should-go-after%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has described libertarians as terrorists and white supremacists</a>.

On his personal Twitter account, Brennan demands that conservatives need to publically recant their support of Donald Trump and admit that it was wrong to support the President of the United States.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Anyone now seeking national redemption by claiming to no longer support Trump must acknowledge how wrong it was to ignore &amp; enable his corrupt, dishonest, &amp; divisive agenda.

Brennan has admitted in the past that he voted for the Communist Party in past elections. According to CNN, Brennan <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2016/09/15/politics/john-brennan-cia-communist-vote/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recounts</a> that he admitted to voting for the Communist Party Candidate, Gus Hall, in the 1976 general election. Brennan is reported <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2016/09/15/politics/john-brennan-cia-communist-vote/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stating</a> that voting for Hall was his way of “signaling his unhappiness of the system.”
As The Spectator <a href="https://spectator.org/john-brennans-president-remembering-comrade-gus-hall/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documents</a>, Gus Hall was a four-time presidential candidate and leader of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). Throughout his career, Hall defended atrocities committed by the Soviet Union while secretly receiving tens of millions of dollars from the Kremlin.

University of Texas - Austin

Published – December 13, 2024
The University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin) launched a new LGBTQ course in Fall 2024. “<a href="https://texasscorecard.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/ut-austin-syl_wgs303_fall2024_sahinler-redacted.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Introduction to LGBT Studies</a>,” taught by <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/ibeksahinler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor Ipek Sahinler</a>, features assigned reading that promotes the sexualization of minors. The course description states:
“This course offers students an intersectional perspective on LGBTQ+ studies, encompassing key theoretical, historical, and methodological approaches. Students will gain foundational skills in theory, history, and research methods, investigating the social construction of sexual identity and its interplay with [race], class, religion, and nationality.”
Learning outcomes for the course include, but are not limited to:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Demonstrate a strong understanding of LGBTQ+ studies and its historical context–both locally and globally,” </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Demonstrate how gender intersects with race, class, ability, and other social constructs,” and </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Use and produce language to go beyond binaristic ways of thinking.”</li>
</ul>
Required reading includes a <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=o0CRAgAAQBAJ&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;dq=The+Routledge+Queer+Studies+Reader&amp;hl=en&amp;newbks=1&amp;newbks_redir=0&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwj05vjAiJGKAxXsI0QIHdXgDMgQ6AF6BAgEEAI#v=onepage&amp;q=The%20Routledge%20Queer%20Studies%20Reader&amp;f=false" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collection of essays</a> called “The Routledge Queer Studies Reader” with multiple contributing authors. The introduction says the book pays “homage to the publication nearly twenty years previous, The Routledge Lesbian and Gay Studies Reader.” 
In chapter one—entitled “Queer and Now”—the author leads a discussion on teen suicide among those who profess to be gay or lesbian by declaring:
“I look at my adult friends and colleagues doing lesbian and gay work, and I feel that the survival of each one is a miracle… How to tell kids who are supposed never to learn this, that, farther along, the road widens and the air brightens; that in the big world there are worlds where it’s plausible, our demand to get used to it.”
The “Introduction to LGBT Studies” is only one hyper-sexualized course among several undergraduate credit hours available to students in the <a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/wgss/courses/lgbtq-studies.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LGBT Studies</a> and Women’s, <a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/lgbtq/undergraduate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gender and Sexuality Studies</a> programs.

<a href="https://education.utexas.edu/faculty/jennifer_adair">Dr. Jennifer Adair</a> is an Associate Professor at the University of Texas, Austin. Dr. Adair proposed indoctrinating children as young as kindergarten in racial issues, in order to ‘prevent another Ferguson.' One proposed project involved having the students make protest signs about racial injustice or other art projects about school integration or bus boycotts. Adair and the other professors working with her drew heavily from the philosophy of historian Howard Zinn in their effort.

<a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/history/faculty/jn324" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Joan Neuberger</a>, a professor at University of Texas-Austin led anti-campus carry efforts, including a petition to bar students who conceal carry from entering classrooms, in violation of Texas law. A change.org petition organized by the same group said, “WE OPPOSE GUNS IN OUR CLASSROOMS AS A DIRECT ASSAULT ON OUR FREE SPEECH RIGHTS.” Despite her proclamations about the dangers of guns, Neuberger is not actually a statistician or criminal justice professor, but a Russian history professor.

<a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/rs/faculty/jt27">John Traphagan</a> is a Professor Emeritus in the Religious Studies Program at The University of Texas at Austin.

In 2015, Traphagan wrote an opinion piece for <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20151014135802/http://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/latest-columns/20150518-john-traphagan-when-will-we-examine-our-heavily-armed-culture.ece">The Dallas Morning News</a> titled “When will we examine our heavily armed culture?” In his article, Traphagan calls for gun control measures and says “Americans do not seem to be able to handle gun ownership in a way that permits maintenance of a civil society.” He writes:
“There is simply no need for a civilized society to tolerate the type of gun-related violence that Americans seem to accept as normal. Other modern industrial countries have realized, in some cases long ago, that it is unnecessary for people in a free society to have easy access to guns.” 
Traphagan claims “the solution to gun-related crime is not further arming the public.” Rather, he argues:
“It involves enacting comprehensive gun control laws that prohibit many forms of gun ownership, significantly curtailing or eliminating access to and the ability to purchase guns, and implementing programs in which the government confiscates or purchases illegal guns already in circulation among the public.” 
Furthermore, Traphagan claims that “Americans need to recognize that one of the greatest threats to national security is their own heavily armed population.” To fix this problem, he writes, “Unfortunately, our proven inability to handle widespread gun ownership suggests strongly that the way to do this is to deeply restrict access to and ownership of most types of guns.”

He concludes his article by saying that people would be better off in a society with no guns because they would have “peace of mind and experience freedom from violence and the freedom to pursue their lives in safety and happiness rather than fear.”

<a href="http://journalism.utexas.edu/faculty/robert-jensen">Dr. Robert Jensen</a> is a Professor of Journalism at the University of Texas, Austin. In an essay on a social justice website, Jensen argued that rape is part of the larger violent, patriarchy. He told Campus Reform that, “I don’t believe there will be any serious progress toward eliminating men’s violence against women if we do not address the toxic notions about masculinity in patriarchy—masculinity understood as rooted in control, conquest, aggression.” Jensen also attacked a major anti-sexual assault group for blaming the perpetrators for rape, instead of focusing on the patriarchal culture as the main cause.

<a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/english/faculty/sas347">Snehal Shingavi</a> is an Associate Professor of English at the University of Texas, Austin.

While teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, Shingavi co-founded the anti-Israel group <a href="https://canarymission.org/organization/sjp">Students for Justice in Palestine</a> (SJP) with Professor Hatem Bazian.  SJP is known for its vitriolic campaigns and aggressively confronting Jewish and pro-Israel students on campus. They are also known for their active role in Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaigns on university campuses.

Snehal first generated controversy at UC Berkeley in 2002 for his <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/7789/hardball-interview-with-snehal-shingavi">course</a>, "The Politics and Poetics of Palestinian Resistance." The course description alleged that Israel has “systematically displaced, killed and maimed millions of Palestinian people.”

The course also all, but outright barred conservative students from attending: “This class takes as its starting point the right of Palestinians to fight for their own self-determination. Conservative thinkers are encouraged to seek other sections.”

Now teaching at UT Austin, <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Snehal_Shingavi">Shehal</a> is a regular at protests and events committed to demonizing Israel. During a 2014 lecture, he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAGtcdPL244&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=13m15s">likened</a> Israel to Nazi Germany, claiming, “This is not me being hyperbolic…..Gaza is the biggest open air concentration camp in the world today and the condition of life in Gaza is not dissimilar to life in Auschwitz and Dachau.”

Thomas K. Hubbard was the James R. Dougherty Jr. Centennial Professor of Classics, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190905194331/https://minio.la.utexas.edu/colaweb-prod/person_files/0/354/thomas_k_hubbard_curriculum_vitae.pdf">who taught at the University of Texas-Austin from 1988 t0 2021</a>. Hubbard’s body of research included ancient pederasty – adult male sexual relations with underage boys  – which Hubbard calls the “<a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2019/12/17/ut-students-protest-professors-house-over-his-writings-on-sexual-relations-between-men-and-boys/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">romantic courtship</a>” of teenage boys by older men.

Writing in the peer-reviewed Thymos Journal of Boyhood Studies, Hubbard detailed this position in an article titled, <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/276216200_Sexual_Consent_and_the_Adolescent_Male_or_What_Can_We_Learn_from_the_Greeks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sexual Consent and the Adolescent Male, or What Can We Learn From the Greeks</a>. Hubbard <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/editorials/2019/12/18/a-ut-professor-advocates-pedophilia-why-are-we-paying-for-it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims</a> that there are great benefits to relationships between older men and teenage boys by appealing to the portrayal of these relationships in Greek artworks and myths.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1058 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-58-e1611867905859-1024x596.png" alt="" width="580" height="338" />

Hubbard utilizes his research on pederasty to buoy his advocacy for lowering the federal legal age for sexual consent. Hubbard also <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2019/12/17/ut-students-protest-professors-house-over-his-writings-on-sexual-relations-between-men-and-boys/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decries age-of-consent laws</a>, calling them a “sad by-product” of the Victorian era that prevented sexual liberation.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1061 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-60-e1611868812189-1024x281.png" alt="" width="580" height="159" />

Hubbard made the distinction, in a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200216112913if_/https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wGGrODNSdwudrF1G4uerU2DsRxcSx3DR1Nbn6JOd7ho/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">now-deleted google document</a>, that he was speaking on behalf of pederasty and not pedophilia. He continues in the Doc by extolling several nations for having age-of-consent laws that were lower than the United States.

Hubbard’s work has been distributed and used by <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2019/12/17/ut-students-protest-professors-house-over-his-writings-on-sexual-relations-between-men-and-boys/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">groups like the North American Man/Boy Love Association</a> (NAMBLA), which advocates for the abolishment of age-of-consent laws between children and adults.

The University of Texas-Austin’s administration reaffirmed Hibbard’s right to <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/students-want-thomas-hubbard-fired-for-work-on-pederasty-but-university-of-texas-says-its-protected-speech" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“explore controversial and offensive ideas</a>.” As of December 2020, <a href="https://www.statesman.com/story/news/education/2020/07/23/ut-professor-accused-of-promoting-pedophilia-sues-student-for-libel/42515639/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hubbard is suing a student and 10 others for libel</a> after they distributed flyers labeling him a pedophile.
UPDATE 
A university spokeswoman has informed the Professor Watchlist team that Thomas Hubbard is no longer employed at the University of Texas. As stated in their response, Dr. Hubbard announced his retirement in July of 2021 and is no longer associated with the University in any capacity.

Despite their written statement, <a href="https://cola.utexas.edu/european_studies/people/faculty/thubbard">Dr. Hubbard was still listed on the university website</a> as a professor in the Center for European Studies at the time of the university's letter

In a follow-up conversation with the university spokeswomen, Dr. Hubbard's profile was removed from the European Studies page and he is no longer listed as a faculty member with the University as of December 15th, 2021.

John O. Brennan is a <a href="https://intelligencestudies.utexas.edu/about/leadership" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Distinguished Scholar</a> and <a href="https://www.strausscenter.org/person/john-o-brennan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senior Advisor to the Intelligence Studies Project</a> at the <a href="https://www.utexas.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Texas-Austin</a>.

Prior to both roles, Brennan served as the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/John-Brennan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Director of The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) </a>from 2013 to 2017. His service and post-CIA career have been marred with controversies, including allegations of spying on political opponents, overseas clandestine operations, and incendiary comments towards conservatives and libertarians.

In 2014, the CIA was <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2014/03/11/289085076/feinsteins-cia-outrage-splits-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused by California Senator Dianne Feinstein of illegally accessing the computers of Senate staffers</a> investigating the use of “enhanced interrogation” against detainees. <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2014/03/brennan-denies-claims-cia-hacked-senate-computers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brennan initially denied the allegations</a>, stating that, “Nothing could be further from the truth.” Brennan was later forced to apologize when an Inspector General report found that <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/213933-cia-admits-to-wrongly-hacking-into-senate-computers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate computers were in fact “hacked” by CIA officials</a>.

Brennan has been accused of arming radical Islamists during the Syrian Civil War. As The American Conservative documents, <a href="https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/how-america-armed-terrorists-in-syria/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The CIA—under Brennan's direction—played a significant role in supplying deadly weapons to al-Qaeda affiliates</a> in an attempt to topple the Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad.

In his final years as CIA director, Brennan played a prominent role in what later became known as “Russiagate.” During the 2016 general election, intelligence agencies attempted to determine whether or not then-presidential candidate Donald Trump coordinated with the Russian Government to <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/288883-wikileaks-posts-20000-dnc-emails" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hack and release sensitive emails from the Democratic National Committee</a>.

While investigating Trump, John Brennan relied on allegations in what became known as the “Steele Dossier”— <a href="https://www.npr.org/2017/08/23/545289362/researcher-behind-unverified-trump-dossier-meets-senate-investigators" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a series of salacious allegations and potentially compromising information against Donald Trump</a> — compiled by British Intelligence agent Christopher Steele.

As The Spectator <a href="https://spectator.org/john-brennans-president-remembering-comrade-gus-hall/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documents</a>, Gus Hall was a four-time presidential candidate and leader of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA).

Dr. Kevin Cokley is the <a href="https://education.utexas.edu/faculty/kevin_cokley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department Chair of the Department of Educational Psychology</a> as well as a Professor of African American Diaspora Studies and Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas - Austin. He is a Distinguished Teaching Professor and is published in many outlets, including Journal of Black Psychology, The Huffington Post, and The Hill. Dr. Cokley has taught many courses, some of which are Psychology of African American Experience and Multicultural Counseling.

Dr. Cokley is very openly pro-critical race theory. <a href="https://www.courierpress.com/story/opinion/2021/07/15/viewpoint-teaching-critical-race-theory-patriotic-not-anti-american/7982099002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In an opinion piece for Courier &amp; Press</a>, Dr. Cokley claims that critical race theory is actually patriotic. He accuses conservatives of pushing a false narrative about critical race theory by claiming it’s “divisive, hostile, and anti-American… and teaches kids to hate each other” which is a “politicized misrepresentation.”

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1841" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-19-at-9.24.38-AM.png" alt="" width="453" height="144" />

Later in the article, Dr. Cokley makes the claim that the first line of the U.S. Constitution, “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union…” suggests that even our founders believed America is a work-in progress. According to him, critical race theory reminds us that this is still very true.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1842" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-19-at-9.25.31-AM.png" alt="" width="494" height="177" />

Dr. Cokley <a href="https://redstate.com/alexparker/2021/07/09/usa-today-runs-pro-critical-race-theory-piece-professor-says-crts-not-divisive-or-anti-american-n408847" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defines critical race theory</a> as an idea “which posits that racism is not simply acts of individual bias or prejudice, but rather is embedded in institutions, policies and legal systems.” While he states he has never explicitly taught critical race theory, he does teach ideas consistent with critical race theory by providing students with examples of how Black inferiority and racism are deeply woven into modern school practices. He asserts that conservatives who are against critical race theory are wanting to prevent any type of discussion around racism or putting America in a negative light. Dr. Cokley argues that there is nothing anti-American about acknowledging the fact that racism is woven into the fabric of the United States.

In June of 2021, Dr. Cokley appeared on a <a href="https://www.fox7austin.com/video/690219" target="_blank" rel="noopener">segment for Fox 7 News Austin</a> discussing racial injustices. The video shows violent riots after the death of George Floyd while Dr. Cokley justifies this behavior because of racial injustice in America.

“Rather than asserting one shared definition of critical mathematics pedagogy, we read widely and discuss a range of theory and approaches… Readings have focused on critical pedagogy, culturally relevant, responsive, and sustaining pedagogies, math for social justice, racial justice, gender equity, the involvement of families and communities in classrooms, and questions of equity in mathematics more broadly.”

“Concerns about mathematics education quality in the United States tend to be oriented toward access to participation and success in a fast-paced, rapidly technologizing capitalist economy (National Commission on Excellence in Education, 1983; National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2014).”

Harvard Educational Review, 82(3), 403–424: “In the case of this study, the subjective constructs of race are the ways in which issues of race and racism are rendered in the Texas standards… Racism plays out in schools through the context of unequal and oppressive social relationships among different racial groups (Omi &amp; Winant, 1994). For example, CRT scholars (e.g., Lopez, 2003) suggest that racially neutral macro-level educational laws and policies may dis-guise the salience and impact of racism in schools.” (407). “This is of particular concern because, as scholars note, White, middle-class teachers—who make up the majority of practicing and preparing teachers in the United States (Sleeter, 2008)—often resist addressing the topic of race and racism, a phenomenon related to their privileged and racially isolated social location (Brown &amp; Brown, 2010a; Epstein, 2009).” (420).</li>

Journal of Educational Policy, 26(5), 595–619: “The authors maintain that in recent years educational theory and critical policy discourse have unintentionally become splintered in such a way that race and class theories are employed separately, without much analysis of the concomitant ways race and racism are both embedded in and productive of the material processes of production and exploitation that characterize capitalism... The authors propose the framework of economies of racism to make sense of the complex unity that brings white supremacy and capitalist accumulation together in a single dialectic.”</li>

<a href="https://education.utexas.edu/faculty/noah_de_lissovoy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Noah De Lissovoy</a> is a Professor in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at The University of Texas - Austin.

Professor De Lissovoy's research focuses on critical and emancipatory approaches to pedagogy, curriculum, and cultural studies. His interests are based on problems posed to educators by globalization and the intersecting effects of race, class, and capital in schools and society. Additionally, developing the theoretical resources for social movements and extending and rethinking the traditions of critical pedagogy and philosophy. 

According to <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2016/10/12/q-noah-de-lissovoy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Texas Tribune</a>, De Lissovoy participated in a Q&amp;A regarding his book: <a href="https://link.springer.com/book/10.1057/9781137375315" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Education and Emancipation in the Neoliberal Era</a>. This book “describes how neoliberalism as societal philosophy works to limit human potential in our school systems. Analyzing contemporary school reform and control, punishment, and pathologization in schools, this book outlines a theory of emancipation and a process by which pedagogy can build solidarity in classrooms and society more broadly.” 

“How does neo-liberalism limit potentials in schools?” 

De Lissovoy states: “It frames learning as an individual process, rather than a social and democratic process. In neo-liberalism, students are trained to understand themselves as in competition, always, with those around them and that their job is to advance themselves and to develop their own human capital and stock of skills against everyone else... It also limits potential because it reduces our collective understanding of what it means to teach and learn to those kinds of activities and understandings that can’t be measured by multiple-choice tests and standardized tests…”

&nbsp;
Professor De Lissovoy has authored many books, such as: 

<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/capitalism-pedagogy-and-the-politics-of-being-9781350157453/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Capitalism, Pedagogy, and the Politics of Being</a>: This book “investigates the relationship between capitalism and coloniality in society and education and reconceptualizes emancipatory theory and pedagogy in response. De Lissovoy exposes a logic of violation at the heart of capitalist accumulation and argues that we need to attend to ontological and epistemological orders of domination within which subjectivity takes shape. Systematically bridging the theoretical traditions of Marxism, Latin American decolonial thought, and critical pedagogy, De Lissovoy shows how a new critical imaginary can reorder curriculum in schools…”</li>

The endeavor is officially titled <a href="https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eqZcrUWQ1Sc7rDM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GOKAR!</a>, which stands for, “Kids Against Racism.” 

The letter states the researchers are interested in studying children who are 4-5 years of age and have not started kindergarten. The qualifications for applicants stipulate the “child and caregiver must both self-identify as white.” 

The program will gauge how caregivers may reduce racial bias and increase awareness around racism after engaging in dialogue about “anti-black racism” with children at home.

According to <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=21679" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, Gill joined a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A3ID6pPsCU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">panel</a> regarding “Black Queer Religions, Afro-Indigenous, and New Religions.” The panel examined queer and quare terminologies. They discussed how “quare is a derivative of queer;” and one speaker noted that the term quare means “to be black, queer, and religious in various ways.”

In regards to "quare’s etymology," Gill stated that it is a “regional vernacular redeployment of 'queer' in a North Carolinian, African American tongue of a certain generation.” Additionally, he noted how the words are “shades of each other” such as the colors “lavender and purple.” Quare “reminds us to resist the tempting universalizing impulse of 'queer.'"

After the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack against Israel, Aceves was featured in <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/while-universities-refuse-to-fire-anti-semites-the-private-sector-holds-them-accountable/24277" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a> after adding his signature to <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oU0LTAsKiGOMxfXnKcxpw-GJV6w5uiMP/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an open statement</a> that said:
“We are writers who unequivocally stand with Palestine and its fight for liberation against the illegal occupation of Israel and the violent settler colonial apartheid state. We strongly condemn the response of [W]estern media and political actors at all levels of government in their dissemination of misinformation and propaganda, intended to manufacture consent for the genocide of Palestinian people.”
The statement goes on to state:
“Islamophobic, genocidal, anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian rhetoric are all rooted in the languages we use. It is our responsibility to lay bare how language has been used to obscure and preserve the ongoing settler colonial project outside Gaza…”
The signatories' list of political declarations includes:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“The resistance is an ongoing response to a long history of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians” and </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Politicians at all levels of government internationally, primarily those in the [W]est, are deliberately weaponizing islamophobia and orientalist language in order to manufacture consent for genocide in Palestine.” </li>

<a href="https://law.utexas.edu/faculty/stephen-i-vladeck" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephen Vladeck</a> is a Professor in the School of Law at the University of Texas at Austin (UTA). Vladeck holds the Charles Alan Wright Chair in Federal Courts at UTA and is “a nationally recognized expert on the federal courts, constitutional law, national law, and military justice.”

On February 12, 2024, Vladeck <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/02/12/1230835881/texas-law-professor-says-influx-of-migrants-doesnt-meet-the-definition-of-invasi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">participated in an interview</a> on KJZZ 91.5 titled “Texas law professor says influx of migrants doesn’t meet the definition of invasion.” According to the interview transcript, Vladeck described Texas authorities’ southern border security efforts as a “sort of slow escalation of first supplementing federal authority and increasingly trying to supplant it.”

When asked if border policies were the “federal government’s business,” Vladeck stated:
“[T]hat’s the basic argument, and it’s the one that has a lot of support in decades of Supreme Court jurisprudence. I mean, for better or for worse, immigration policy is the job of the federal government, not the states. [I]t really wouldn’t make a lot of sense if Texas and New Mexico and Arizona and California could all have different policies about how to police the U.S.-Mexico border. If it comes down to a policy dispute between the states and the federal government, it’s pretty clear who’s supposed to win those.”
<img class="size-large wp-image-3417 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/pwl-1-1024x791.png" alt="" width="640" height="494" />

In January, <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2024/01/22/texas-border-supreme-court-immigration/">The Texas Tribune</a> reported that the order from SCOTUS to allow federal border agents access to the Texas-Mexico border “did not explain [the] justices’ decision.” The source said, “For now, it effectively upholds longstanding court rulings that the Constitution gives the federal government sole responsibility for border security.”

However, the <a href="https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt4-6-6-3/ALDE_00000239/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution</a>—which grants the “right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable search and seizures” —does not permit immigrants to illegally enter the United States. The Amendment further states, “Under the ‘border search exception,’ federal officers may generally conduct routine warrantless searches of persons and items entering the United States without reasonable suspicion or probable cause of unlawful activity.”

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/topics/border-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> states, “Protecting our borders from the illicit movement of weapons, drugs, contraband, and people, while promoting lawful entry and exit, and lawful trade, is essential to homeland security, economic prosperity, and national sovereignty.” DHS’s explanation under “<a href="https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-8/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-101" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Presumption of Lawful Admission</a>” does not clarify the current southern border crisis—namely, human smuggling and trafficking as well as the <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/rodas-testimony.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exploitation and disappearance of reportedly 85,000 minor children</a>.



Vladek told the <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/02/12/1230835881/texas-law-professor-says-influx-of-migrants-doesnt-meet-the-definition-of-invasi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KJZZ 91.5</a> host:
“[T]here’s plenty of evidence from founding-era sources…that an invasion meant [an] armed attack by an organized party. But migrants crossing the border without authorization—that’s just never been understood to meet that definition. But even if it did, even the folks who don’t find that persuasive, the authority of the Constitution grants to states in circumstances in which they are…‘actually involved’...to defend themselves until the federal government is able to show up.”

Her interests include “social movements, queer of color critique, abolition, rhetoric, and coalitions.” In her faculty profile, Chávez states:
“My scholarship is primarily informed by queer of color theory and women of color feminism. Methodologically, I am a rhetorical critic who utilizes textual and field-based methods. I am interested in studying social movement building, activist rhetoric, and coalition politics.” 
In 2019, Chávez published “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Palestine_on_the_Air/yqG0DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=palestine+on+the+air&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Palestine on the Air</a>,” a book comprised of interviews she conducted among residents of Gaza. Chávez’s <a href="https://www.press.uillinois.edu/books/?id=p084850" target="_blank" rel="noopener">publisher</a>, the University of Illinois Press, said:
“Few doubt the pro-Israel bias of the Western media. It takes the form of overtly supporting Israel’s government policies, or of maintaining neutrality or silence on issues of Israeli violence, occupation, and settlement expansion. Scholar and activist [Chávez] collects eleven interviews that allow dissenting voices a forum to provide rarely heard perspectives on the Palestinian struggle for justice, land, and self-determination.”
In the book introduction, Chávez writes:
“A U.S. audience remains important in conversations about Palestine, not just so that people will make conceptual connections like ‘their walls are our walls,’ although such basic links are valuable. Instead, a U.S. audience is important because the United States is so deeply implicated in the ongoing occupation and apartheid conditions of Palestine/Israel.”

<a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/aads/faculty/ba25332" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bedour Alagraa</a> is an Assistant Professor of Political and Social Thought at the University of Texas at Austin. According to Alagraa’s faculty profile, she is a self-described ‘wayward political theorist’ with primary interests in “Political theory, Caribbean political thought, Black Marxism(s), [and] African anti-colonial thought.”

Alagraa—a contributing author for ROAR Magazine—wrote two pieces covering the “black struggle” of the Sudanese and the liberation of black Americans. Alagraa penned an <a href="https://roarmag.org/essays/now-is-the-time-black-struggle-from-sudan-to-the-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion editorial</a> titled “Now is the time: Black struggle from Sudan to the US” in which she called on readers to “reflect on the radical movements” like the George Floyd riots. 

While comparing the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g2EapP_sQ09FTDSVPdAA8YI_RieflH6n/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">legitimate oppression</a> of Sudanese people and the 2018 political uprisings to alleged racism issues in 2020 America, Alagraa stated:

“The purpose here is not to conflate the struggles of the Sudanese people with other struggles…The point, rather, is to understand how [b]lack struggles globally are co-constitutive and kindred. This moment demands that we draw lessons and motivation from one another, and recognize that local ecologies of struggle hold the keys to a transnational and anti-national understanding of liberation.”

In her <a href="https://roarmag.org/magazine/pendulum-swing-black-liberation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">piece</a> titled “The Pendulum Swing of Black Liberation,” Alagraa further claimed:

“This piece focused on the activation of struggles, and less so on the reality that each movement for liberation was met with a deepening repression and political conservatism…Black people’s struggles have never been limited to ‘inter’ or ‘between’ nations, but oftentimes rather against, with total disregard for, the nation or the nation-state.”

The description of Alagraa’s undergraduate course “<a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/aads/faculty/ba25332" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black Political Thought</a>” says, in part:

“Black political reflection is constituted by a distinctive and ongoing preoccupation with freedom. Conceived and practiced in and/or against the political evils of slavery, segregation, racial terror, and mass incarceration, these reflections rank among political theory’s most acute treatments of freedom and domination.”

<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Black Studies Theory” — Parts I of this course answer questions such as “What is race?” “What is blackness?” and “What is the relationship of slavery to capitalism, empire, war, and democracy?” Part II supposedly covers “[a]n in-depth exploration of…African diaspora social structures and cultural traditions.”</li>

“[UT-Austin] is offering an ‘Introduction to LGBT Studies’ course this fall [2024]. A required course textbook promotes the sexualization of minors…The instructor is UT-Austin PhD candidate, Ibek Sahinler. The course’s general guidelines contain even more left-wing framing.”

The “Introduction to LGBT Studies” course description states:

“This course offers students an intersectional perspective on LGBTQ+ studies, encompassing key theoretical, historical, and methodological approaches. Students will gain foundational skills in theory, history, and research methods, investigating the social construction of sexual identity and its interplay with [race], class, religion, and nationality.”

In chapter one—entitled “Queer and Now”—the author leads a discussion on teen suicide among those who profess to be gay or lesbian by declaring:

“I look at my adult friends and colleagues doing lesbian and gay work, and I feel that the survival of each one is a miracle… How to tell kids who are supposed never to learn this, that, farther along, the road widens and the air brightens; that in the big world there are worlds where it’s plausible, our demand to get used to it.”

Sahinler's faculty bio says, “She likes thinking about the intersections between the Middle East and Latin America, borderland studies, identity politics, rhetoric of failure, and linguistic queerness.” However, this professor has not published any books or peer-reviewed writings showing a legitimate contribution to higher learning.

<a href="https://arts.princeton.edu/academics/visual-arts/visual-arts-people/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Welling</a> is a Lecturer with the Rank of Professor in Visual Arts at Princeton University.
In April 2024, Welling 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.”

“I didn’t write the article on the permissibility of zoophilia [but] I am a co-editor for that journal. The fact that we judge an article worthy of publication does not indicate that I or my co-editors agree with the views contained in it…The Journal of Conversational Ideas is free and open access for everyone to read…
“Now imagine that you are an animal living with a person who cares for you and loves you in all the ways that most people love their companion animals, but in addition, this person sometimes has sexual contact with you, making sure that the contact does not hurt you, and leaving you free to move away if you don't like it…”

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

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

According to her University biography, Dr. Taylor is a scholar of racial inequity in public policymaking, and writes “extensively” about race, politics, and “radical activism.”

As a Professor and political commentator, Dr. Taylor offers her opinion across a wide variety of social media platforms and media outlets. She is known to condemn capitalism, the United States, and Israel while lauding socialism and the Soviet Union.

On her personal <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter account</a>, Dr. Taylor smears Israel as a racial, apartheid state that actively commits genocide against Arabs in the Middle East. In one tweet, she alleges that Israel is attempting to “annihilate” Palestine:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
The consequence of apartheid is not separation, it’s annihilation. End the occupation, free Palestine <a href="https://t.co/2jUOpL3oBq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/2jUOpL3oBq</a>
— Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor (@KeeangaYamahtta) <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta/status/1392287946653503490?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May 12, 2021</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

In another post, she flagrantly alleges that Israel is engaged in the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and Gaza, despite the <a href="https://www.camera.org/article/methodist-staffer-demonizes-israel-reveals-ignorance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resident Arab population quadrupling since 1948</a>,
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
What we are witnessing is not the “eviction” of Palestinians from their homes. This is ethnic cleansing. This is the most basic expression of settler colonialism. This is the illegal and immoral expulsion of Palestinians with the expectation they are “accepted” elsewhere. <a href="https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8</a>

<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

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

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

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

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

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.”

In a <a href="https://youtu.be/rY8RkET3KC0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video discussing her reasons for writing</a> “Race After Technology,” Benjamin gave an example of how technology is racist. She said, “Two friends [were] using an automated soap dispenser and the soap wouldn’t come out [for] the individual with darker skin because darker skin absorbs light. So if it’s infrared technology, it’s not going to work as effectively.”

Professor Benjamin <a href="https://youtu.be/_8RrX4hjCr0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">also gave a Ted Talk</a> where she used laboratory and park benches to discuss how “the idea of discriminatory design is a global phenomenon.” She also says, “I think at the heart of discriminatory design is this idea that we can create technological fixes for social crises…we create short-term responses that often get the issues out of sight, out of mind.”

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

“In solidarity with the <a href="https://usacbi.org/faculty-for-justice-in-palestine/">[US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel]</a> call for faculty action in defense of students who are currently under attack from university administrators, other students, and outside actors for their Palestine solidarity work…we hereby declare the founding of the Princeton Faculty for Justice in Palestine (FJP).”
“We rise in coalition with the students, scholars, and people of conscience resisting the forces currently deployed to silence, mischaracterize, and criminalize dissent on college campuses and beyond…A culture of intimidation, silencing, and punishment is now moving across the United States and around the world.”
Salamon and the FJP further declared “support for those in Palestine who have called for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS)...” The letter ends with a call for an “end to Israeli occupation and apartheid and for a free Palestine…”

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

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

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

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

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

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>
</ul>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Progressive</li>

<ul>
 	<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.

<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.”

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

According to the <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/israeli-minister-asks-princeton-to-remove-antisemitic-propaganda-from-course/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Review</a>, “The International Legal Forum, an Israel-based non-profit, criticized the decision to include [Puar’s] book in the course curriculum” and the “Israeli Minister and the International Legal Forum called for removing the book from the course.”

The Review also said, “Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, called for canceling the course and terminating [Larson].”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Princeton University is not only sanctioning hate speech, but establishing fertile ground for a new generation of antisemitic thought leaders. I am calling on Princeton University to cancel the course in question immediately, fire its professor, Satyel Larson, and issue a public…

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

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

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Glaude also tweeted his thoughts after SCOTUS overturned affirmative action in June 2023.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Imagine this: my mother and father couldn’t attend Princeton or Ole Miss (I group in Mississippi), because of long-standing discriminatory practices. The civil rights movement happens. Doors are opened. Colleges and universities are somewhat integrated 1/

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

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

</ul>
The faculty and staff have also called for the university to reverse the suspension of two student groups, Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine and Columbia Jewish Voice for Peace. They concluded their statement with the following: 
“We vow to withhold our academic labor from Columbia and Barnard, not to participate in conferences and other campus events, and not to collaborate with university institutions until such time as the administration has met these demands and demonstrated its commitments to upholding the well-established norms of unrestricted scholarly inquiry and academic freedom.” 
In May 2023, Fuentes penned an opinion piece for Scientific American titled “<a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/heres-why-human-sex-is-not-binary/?amp;text=Here%27s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Here’s Why Human Sex Is Not Binary</a>.” He began his article by stating: 
“There are those, politicians, pundits and even a few scientists, who maintain that whether our bodies make ova or sperm are all we need to know about sex. They assert that men and women are defined by their production of these gamete cells, making them a distinct biological binary pair, and that our legal rights and social possibilities should flow from this divide.” 
Fuentes argued that this is “bad science” and that people who believe legal and policy decisions should be made based on sex “are arguing for a specific political, and discriminatory, definition of what is ‘natural’ and ‘right’ for humans based on a false representation of biology.” He went on to claim: 
“Over the past few centuries this process of misrepresentation of biology was, and still is, used to deny women rights and to justify legal and societal misogyny and inequity, to justify slavery, racialization, racism and to enforce multiple forms of discrimination and bias.” 
“Today dishonest ascriptions of what biology is are being deployed to restrict women’s bodily autonomy, target LGBTQIA+ individuals broadly and, most recently, attack the rights of transexual and transgender people.” 
Fuentes concluded his opinion piece: 
“Given what we know about biology across animals and in humans, efforts to represent human sex as binary based solely on what gametes one produces are not about biology but are about trying to restrict who counts as a full human in society.”

Lurie 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.”

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

<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.”

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.”’

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.”

Ithaca’s <a href="https://www.ithaca.edu/policy-manual/volume-iv-faculty-handbook/409-definitions-and-types-appointments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Definitions and Types of Appointments</a>, as well as its page for <a href="https://www.ithaca.edu/policy-manual/volume-iv-faculty-handbook/401-ranked-academic-faculty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ranked Academic Faculty</a>, do not show an approved designation for the appointment of a “full professor.”

In January 2021, Henderson 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.”

<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'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]... 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="https://www.depts.ttu.edu/biology/people/Faculty/Schwilk/">Dr. Dylan Schwilk</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Texas Tech. Citing rising COVID cases, Dr. Schwilk asked his class to segregate based on whether or not they wear masks in his classroom. 
The controversy occurred just prior to the first week of the spring semester classes in 2022. In his introductory email to the class—provided to TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist by an anonymous source—Dr. Schwilk announces new COVID restrictions that will be implemented the following day; students without masks will be asked to sit on opposite sides of the room from those who wear them. 
“I expect students will wear masks to protect others and themselves. Those students who refuse to wear masks will be asked to sit on the right hand side of the lecture hall (as you face the podium and screens) so that there is more separation from those wearing masks.”  
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-2597 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Screen-Shot-2022-11-17-at-2.49.36-PM.png" alt="" width="437" height="609" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Screen-Shot-2022-11-17-at-2.49.36-PM.png 437w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Screen-Shot-2022-11-17-at-2.49.36-PM-215x300.png 215w" sizes="(max-width: 437px) 100vw, 437px" />
Speaking to the Professor Watchlist, then-Turning Point USA chapter Vice-President, Morgonn McMichael said this is the first time that she’s encountered any restrictions. She reports that most students do not wear masks and is puzzled at Dr. Schwilk’s response. She claimed there are no serious problems with COVID outbreaks at Texas Tech. 
McMichael provided the following statement to the Professor Watchlist:
“As a student at texas tech [SIC] and seeing there not be a mandate I was thrilled but now seeing this professor, in particular, take it upon himself to blatantly segregate his class is discriminatory to all students, there are students in his class who will comply fearing for their grade, help in the class or gaining resources to do well. I am sickened by this professor&#8217;s actions in going against the university policy! Professors like this need to be held accountable!”

According to Fúnez-Flores’ faculty profile, “[H]is research is situated at the intersections of sociocultural studies in education, curriculum studies, decolonial theory, and qualitative methodology.”

Fúnez-Flores was placed on administrative leave after antisemitic social media posts appeared on his <a href="https://twitter.com/Jairo_I_Funez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter account</a>. Several posts were in response to the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel and Israel’s response.

On March 4, 2024, Jairo Fúnez-Flores was featured in a <a href="https://www.fox34.com/2024/03/04/ttu-assistant-professor-suspended-hateful-antisemitic-unacceptable-social-media-posts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News 34 article</a> that said, “According to a statement from both Tech President Lawrence Schovanec and Chancellor Tedd Mitchell, [Fúnez-Flores] shared multiple posts on social media that were found to be ‘hateful, antisemitic, and unacceptable.’”

Fox News also said, “Fúnez-Flores is suspended with pay while an investigation begins by the Office of Equal Opportunity. If the OEO finds that ‘discriminatory harassment’ has happened, then Tech will take ‘prompt and effective action.’”

The source did not disclose which photos triggered the professor’s suspension. However, the Professor Watchlist team sourced the following posts from Fúnez-Flores’ Twitter account:

In a public statement, the TTU president and chancellor said Fúnez-Flores’ tweets “are antithetical to [TTU’s] values.” Although the university takes First Amendment rights “seriously,” the institution is “committed to providing a safe learning and working environment that is free from … antisemitic harassment.” Pending the outcome of the OEO investigation, TTU said it would “take prompt and effective action.”

The Professor Watchlist will continue monitoring this story. Please send tips and information on Jairo Fúnez-Flores to <a href="mailto:Watchlists@tpusa.com">Watchlists@tpusa.com</a>.

State troopers say O’Connor <a href="https://www.wboy.com/news/crime/fairmont-state-professor-arrested-sexually-abusing-4-year-old/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitted to</a> “14 counts of first-degree sexual abuse intrusion and 14 counts of sexual abuse by a parent, guardian or person of trust in regard to a four-year-old child.”
O’Connor allegedly also admitted to using his cell phone, “Samsung iPad,” and work computer to research “Preteen porn,” “young porn,” and “kiddy porn.”
State troopers were initially called in regard to a sexual abuse incident that took place on July 9. On July 11, troopers asked O’Connor to come to the State Police and make a statement, where he confessed to the charges.
Fairmont State University released the following statement:
“Fairmont State University leadership today learned of the arrest of a current faculty member.

<a href="https://www1.villanova.edu/university/experts/expert-detail.html?expert=jerusha.conner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jerusha Conner</a> is a Professor of Education in the Department of Education and Counseling at Villanova University. According to her <a href="http://jerushaconner.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal website</a>, her research focuses on “student engagement, student voice, youth activism, youth civic engagement, and youth organizing.”
Conner is a proponent of teaching critical race theory—”an academic framework that holds that racism is embedded in society”—to students in public schools. She wrote an article for <a href="https://theconversation.com/critical-race-theory-sparks-activism-in-students-162649" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Conversation</a> titled, “Critical race theory sparks activism in students.” She argues that, when taught well, “the analytical tools of critical race theory can support valuable long-term education, professional, civil and political outcomes.”
Conner argues one of the benefits of teaching critical race theory to students is that it “ignites passion,” saying:
“In my research, I have observed that when youth organizers learn how power and privilege are reproduced from one generation to the next through racialized policies like redlining or discrimination in housing, funding school districts on the basis of property taxes, which favors wealthier school districts, and tracking students into different academic levels, they often become inspired to take action to redress unfair conditions.” 
She also discusses one youth organizing group where students teach each other about “the spiral of oppression.”
“This framework helps young people understand how societal oppression of groups of people, such as racial minorities, spirals as individuals from those groups internalize oppression and begin to act on the negative stereotypes they have internalized. These actions, in turn, lead to further oppression, such as greater police surveillance, supervision and state violence as the spiral continues.” 
Conner concludes by arguing:
“When politicians advance legislation to block the use of critical race theory in schools, they may actually be blocking an important means of fostering outcomes that would make America’s democracy even more robust and vibrant than it would otherwise be.”

Her areas of interest include South Asian history, British Empire history, history of human rights, and gender studies. Dr. Kolsky has penned many publications on these subjects for various outlets ranging from The Washington Post to The Journal of Asian Studies.  She frequently writes about white supremacy in the United States, her disdain for conservatives, and underlying racism in U.S. institutions.

<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/06/03/autopsies-can-uphold-white-supremacy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a perspective’s piece</a> published by The Washington Post, Dr. Kolsky accuses autopsies, an objective, postmortem examination to determine a person’s cause of death, of upholding white supremacy. According to Dr. Kolsky, modern medical tools, like autopsy reports, have historically legitimized racist structures of white supremacy. She discusses colonial India, citing that whiteness “functioned as a license to kill and law and medicine provided alibis.” She believes that autopsies should be viewed while keeping in mind that white supremacy built the foundations of law and violence.

Another symbol of “white supremacy,” as claimed by Dr. Kolsky, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/07/03/it-is-time-reconsider-global-legacy-july-4-1776/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">is the Fourth of July</a>. In her opinion, the United States was founded on the backs of slaves, and white supremacy of the United States and Britain intertwined after the U.S. gained independence. Dr. Kolsky maintains that, “British and American empires mutually reinforced the idea that black and indigenous lives don’t matter.” She goes on to cite the recent death of George Floyd as an example of America’s racist foundation still being present today.

Dr. Kolsky often takes to Twitter to discuss her work as well as share her political opinions. She regularly posts about her disdain for conservatives and Republicans. Below are some examples:

https://twitter.com/ElizabethKolsky/status/1280212510361206787

&nbsp;

Dr. Kolsky also perpetuates anti-police rhetoric on Twitter. <a href="https://twitter.com/ElizabethKolsky/status/1268792045860257792" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a tweet from June 4, 2020</a>, Dr. Kolsky writes, “They [police] use overwhelming and excessive force against the few to terrorize the many. Their goal is to teach people a lesson of obedience using the language of violence. This has been white supremacy’s strategy for centuries.”  <a href="https://twitter.com/ElizabethKolsky/status/1269420138207510528" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In another tweet</a>, she alleges that, “structural racism isn't personal. Do you think only "bad people" can be racist? Do you think only "bad cops" brutally assault people? To borrow the language of a fellow historian, many of these are "ordinary people."

Dr. Kolsky appears to believe that not only is America racist at its core, but the institutions within the country are as well. She promotes dangerous ideals that white people use science and medicine to get away with murder and police officers are abusive, both at the structural and independent levels.

<a href="https://www1.villanova.edu/university/experts/expert-detail.html?expert=jerusha.conner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jerusha Conner</a> is a Professor of Education in the Department of Education and Counseling at Villanova University. According to her <a href="http://jerushaconner.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal website</a>, her research focuses on “student engagement, student voice, youth activism, youth civic engagement, and youth organizing.”

Conner is a proponent of teaching critical race theory—”an academic framework that holds that racism is embedded in society”—to students in public schools. She wrote an article for <a href="https://theconversation.com/critical-race-theory-sparks-activism-in-students-162649" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Conversation</a> titled, “Critical race theory sparks activism in students.” She argues that, when taught well, “the analytical tools of critical race theory can support valuable long-term education, professional, civil and political outcomes.”

Conner argues one of the benefits of teaching critical race theory to students is that it “ignites passion,” saying:
“In my research, I have observed that when youth organizers learn how power and privilege are reproduced from one generation to the next through racialized policies like redlining or discrimination in housing, funding school districts on the basis of property taxes, which favors wealthier school districts, and tracking students into different academic levels, they often become inspired to take action to redress unfair conditions.” 
She also discusses one youth organizing group where students teach each other about “the spiral of oppression.”
“This framework helps young people understand how societal oppression of groups of people, such as racial minorities, spirals as individuals from those groups internalize oppression and begin to act on the negative stereotypes they have internalized. These actions, in turn, lead to further oppression, such as greater police surveillance, supervision and state violence as the spiral continues.” 
Conner concludes by arguing:
“When politicians advance legislation to block the use of critical race theory in schools, they may actually be blocking an important means of fostering outcomes that would make America’s democracy even more robust and vibrant than it would otherwise be.”

According to Seligsohn’s <a href="https://www.debseligsohn.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, her career includes serving in the US State Department and the climate activist organization <a href="https://www.wri.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Resources Institute</a>. 

Seligsohn also <a href="https://www.chinafile.com/contributors/deborah-seligsohn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contributes</a> to China File, an online commentary dedicated to COVID-19 and climate change efforts. One of Seligsohn’s <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ecpo.12207?casa_token=j-KxN-HCxz8AAAAA%3Auyk62fV17ywXSf9FsOx-FrfDpSJfN-a3tvZC4z9eMFPm0ZL5lNFmhEQ_1ppvwE7O79M-wBbVWnuKfyw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">peer-reviewed papers</a>—“The Partisan Divide in U.S.-China Congressional Communications after the China Shock” — reveals her disdain for conservative lawmakers’ foreign relationships. 

In the Abstract, Seligsohn and her co-author stated:

“In this paper…[w]e propose a theory of China-bashing to explain how members of Congress frame the negative impacts of trade to their voters. Using press release data from members of Congress, we show that, even though Chinese import competition impacted both Republican- and Democrat-held districts, Republican politicians in adversely affected districts responded by increasing their anti-China rhetoric, while there is no similar difference among Democrats.”

As an outspoken advocate for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Seligsohn defended <a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/12/25/1145472905/china-stops-publishing-daily-covid-data" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the regime’s handling</a> of the COVID-19 crisis despite two things— (1) lifting travel restrictions during peak infection times and (2) failing to accurately report infection spikes and rising death tolls. 

During a <a href="https://macrohive.com/hive-podcasts/ep-149-deborah-seligsohn-on-what-everyone-gets-wrong-on-chinas-covid-and-climate-policies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">podcast interview</a> titled “Ep. 149: Deborah Seligsohn on What Everyone Gets Wrong on China’s COVID and Climate Policies,” she commented on Chinese citizens' responses to national mask mandates. She observed:

“By the time I was [in Beijing] in November…people were already really modifying their behavior. What they weren’t really modifying was mask use. Certainly, by the time I got there, the mask use was entirely for show. People would put them on to walk through a gate with a guard and then take it off again.” 

In 2021, The National Pulse <a href="https://thenationalpulse.com/archive-post/lab-leak-denier-is-ccp-advisor-and-fellow/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exposed</a> Seligsohn as an advisor to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The source said she “addressed the Central Party School of the [CCP]” in 2011, spoke at the Shanghai World Expo in 2010, and served as a research fellow at Nanjing University.

Alexandra Filindra is an <a href="https://pols.uic.edu/profiles/filindra-alexandra/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associate Professor of Political Science and Psychology</a> at the University of Illinois Chicago. She focuses on American gun politics, immigration policy, race and ethnic politics, public opinion, and political psychology.

Professor Filindra has been outspoken about her beliefs that gun ownership and racism are related.

She co-authored a study titled <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11109-015-9326-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Racial Resentment and Whites’ Gun Policy Preferences in Contemporary America.”</a> The study states that “the language of individual freedom used by the gun rights movement utilizes the same racially meaningful tropes as the rhetoric of the white resistance to black civil rights that developed after WWII and into the 1970s.” Filindra claims the study’s results show “racial resentment is a statistically significant and substantively important predictor of white opposition to gun control.”

She co-authored another study titled <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/soin.12388" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Racial Resentment or Sexism? White Americans’ Outgroup Attitudes as Predictors of Gun Ownership and NRA Membership.”</a> This study sought to link racial and gender ideologies to gun ownership among white Americans. She states: “We find strong evidence that racial resentment is associated with gun ownership, rationales for owning firearms, and NRA membership, but the results for sexiam are generally not consistent with expectations.”

Professor Filindra led a research group that conducted an online survey to compare views on American identity, guns, and political violence between white and black participants. Filindra commented on the group’s findings in a <a href="https://today.uic.edu/survey-measures-whites-blacks-views-on-american-identity-guns-political-violence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UIC press release</a>:
“We cannot ignore that a non-negligible minority of Americans believes that gun rights extend to the context of political protests, that people should have the authority to shoot at protesters based on their personal judgments of danger, and that a substantial number of gun owners would bring their firearms to a political event.”
She continued:
“The free exchange of political ideas, a citizen’s right to assemble and to petition government is inconsistent with the public carry of firearms. Weapons do not foster political exchange; they are designed to hamper it.”

Leading up to the event, a petition was circulated around campus calling for the event to be canceled. On March 11, in response to this, McCloskey tweeted:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
A thousand people have signed a petition against Michael Knowles 'debating" me on transgender matters on April 18 at Pittsburgh. They should be ashamed. True, Knowles is an anti-Jesus Catholic, a fascist advocating state power over ideas. But we live in a free country.

“That people recommend it’s a good idea to stop open conversation in a university because someone says something they don’t agree with is counter to the purposes, the noble purposes, of the University of Pittsburgh. It’s a complete undermining of the ideals of Western civilization.” 
McCloskey also claimed:
“Opposing him speaking is exactly what he wants because then the cruel conservatives, which he’s a good example [of], can say, ‘Ah, you see, those leftists, they don’t believe in free speech.’ That’s the kind of people they are. So you can see how stupid it is to oppose this.”

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I've just learned that Prof. McCloskey has dropped out of our debate scheduled for next week.

McCloskey told <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=21940" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a> the appearance was canceled because Knowles is “utterly uninterested in finding the truth,” adding:
“He is interested in stirring up hatred and violence towards people who do not fit his extremely conservative Catholic beliefs, beliefs quite contrary to those of, for example, Pope Francis. I decided not to participate in giving [Knowles] a platform.”

<a href="https://education.uic.edu/profiles/muhammad-gholnecsar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gholnecsar (Gholdy) Muhammad</a> is an Associate Professor of Literacy, Language, and Culture at the University of Illinois Chicago. According to her university profile, she “studies black historical excellence within educational communities with goals of reframing curriculum and instruction today.” She is the author of the book “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cultivating-Genius-Culturally-Historically-Responsive/dp/1338594893" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cultivating Genius</a>: An Equity Model for Culturally and Historically Responsive Literacy.”

Muhammad <a href="https://www.ace-ed.org/teaching-toward-genius-an-equity-model-for-pedagogy-in-action/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">created the “HILL” model of teaching</a> which “responds to students’ histories, identities, literacies and liberation.” Muhammad describes her education model as:
“The HILL model is an equity framework for teaching and learning across all disciplines. Honoring traditions and theories of culturally responsive learning, this model is historically responsive and grounded in Black education and Black excellence. Members of 19th century African American literary societies had four collective goals toward advancing their education.” 
Muhammad defines these four goals as: Identity, Skills, Intellectualism, and Criticality. For Identity, she writes:
“Because we are complex beings, we have racial, cultural, gender, environmental, and community identities, to name a few. Not only is it important to teach youths who they are, but educators should also teach students about the identities and cultures of others different from them.” 
The description for Criticality reads:
“Criticality is the capacity and ability to read, write, think, and speak in ways to understand power and equity in order to understand and promote anti-oppression. In Cultivating Genius, I define oppression simply as any wrongdoing, hurt, or harm, including racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, or any other oppression. Unlike lower case “c” critical, which is just deep and analytical thinking, Critical with a capital “c” is related to power, equity, and anti-oppression. As learning takes place, one asks, ‘How am I developing an understanding of power, equity, anti-racism and anti-oppression?’” 
In 2018, Muhammad founded <a href="https://hillpedagogies.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HILL Pedagogies LLC</a>. According to its website, the company is a “consultation and presentation agency with a focus on the historical foundations of literacy development and the writing practices among Black communities.

<a href="https://education.uic.edu/profiles/morton-terrell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Terrell Morton</a> is an Assistant Professor of Identity and Justice in STEM Education at the University of Illinois Chicago. According to his university profile, Morton “works to transform STEM learning environments, creating spaces that are recognized and understood as extensions of students' identity rather than sites of oppression that perpetuate hostility and exclusion.”

Morton published an article in <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41557-023-01271-5.epdf?sharing_token=RoV77bDjzlvUTQdh8RUTYNRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0PTC_5KGRwngX4s8AJcmQPKX1Y_ambGQDJcXzrJrKIgVWt2ZpHkTDBnR7ZPe2xAlHOG3jQM9YwzHHi7XTQotfYdTCrcMeOqrrP_5_yBrTJRmhpcB10GDPO9hkg4UnazmIk%3D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nature Chemistry</a> titled, “Critical race theory and its relevance for chemistry.” He begins by stating, “Critical race theory—an academic framework that serves to understand systemic racism in the USA and beyond—can help inform endeavors to advance justice and equity in the chemistry community.”

Morton argues that the field of science underrepresents black people and “favors white, cisgender, middle-to-high socioeconomic status, heterosexual, non-disabled men.”

Professor Morton discusses critical race theory’s (CRT) core tenets and how they apply to the field of chemistry. Morton defines one core tenet, racial realism, as the belief that “racism is endemic, permanent, systemic and integral to all social institutions.” He believes this tenet explains the “continuing numerical underrepresentation of Black people” as “an outcome of structural racism or gendered racism.”

He also argues <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/chicago-professor-dismisses-meritocracy-myth-advocates-crt-false-reality" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meritocracy</a> is a myth, saying, “The belief in individualism and the bootstrap mentality communicated through US laws and social norms is a false reality given racism and its de facto outcomes.”

Morton believes that “structural change” is needed, writing:
“Inequities in the field of chemistry can also be mitigated as the field collectively validates the systemic presence and continuous influence of racism and gendered racism on scientific inquiry and education. Each person should evaluate their position and actions towards social justice - with respect to their identity, privilege, exposure, awareness and commitment.” 
When discussing his article with <a href="https://today.uic.edu/education-professor-probes-causes-of-systemic-racism-in-chemistry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UIC Today</a>, Morton said:
“One of the things that scientists have struggled with understanding is that racism is structural and systemic, not just interpersonal. There are power structures at play that impact our everyday experiences, including the research that is done, how we do the research, who gets access to that research and who we recognize as a chemist.” 
In April 2021, Morton gave a <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/identity-and-justice-scholar-explores-structural-racism-in-chemistry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presentation</a> at Utah State University titled, “<a href="https://www.usu.edu/safe-at-usu/speakers/TMorton_UtahStatePresentation.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deprogramming Whiteness</a> to Advance Liberation: A Critical Examination of the ‘Self’ in Social Justice Endeavors.”

In this 21-slide presentation, Morton says, “The practicing of justice (recognition and action) are driven by individual and societal philosophical ideologies of reality, knowledge, and ethics (morality)...where the underlying conceptions of normality are rooted in a culture of whiteness.” He also advised participants “check your ‘self,’” which he defines as “biases, privileges, position, power, commitments, and actions.”

<a href="https://glas.uic.edu/profiles/naber-nadine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nadine Naber</a> is a Professor of Gender and Women’s Studies and Global Asian Studies at the University of Illinois Chicago. Her <a href="https://gws.uic.edu/profiles/naber-nadine/">profile</a> says:
“Dr. Naber’s research interests lie at the intersections of transnational feminisms; women of color and queer of color theory; de-colonizing feminisms; empire studies; critical race studies; and Middle East Studies; and Arab American Studies. Drawing upon these fields, Dr. Naber’s research theorizes the racialization of Arab and Muslim Americans within the contexts of empire and diaspora.”
In December 2023, Naber wrote a <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/when-abolitionists-say-free-them-all-we-mean-palestine-too/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TruthOut opinion editoria</a>l called “When Abolitionists Say ‘Free Them All,’ We Mean Palestine Too.” She compared Israel’s response to the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack to the police response during the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/place/Ferguson#ref1204126" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ferguson riots in 2014</a>. 

In 2021, Naber <a href="https://www.jadaliyya.com/Details/43566" target="_blank" rel="noopener">participated in an interview</a> to discuss her article “The Radical Potential of Mothering during the Egyptian Revolution.” When asked why she wrote <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.15767/feministstudies.47.1.0062" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the publication</a>, Naber replied:

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-3680 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/pwl-1024x791.png" alt="" width="640" height="494" />

While conducting research and interviews for the paper, Naber said her observations revealed the “exclusion” of mothers from social movements who lack childcare or want to participate in adult-only meetings. Naber’s <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.15767/feministstudies.47.1.0062" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> requires JSTOR credentials, but the following excerpt was included in her interview transcript:
“Asserting the radical potential of mothering allows us to recognize how heteropatriarchal concepts and traditional gender norms can be disrupted and how we might imagine an ever-expansive revolution that is not limited to the boundaries of a public square or to a singular notion of the revolutionary actor.”

“Indeed the practices of rape and sexual assaults that have been well documented during the founding of Israel, that continue today, are not an exception or a secondary impact of colonial violence. But [they] are part of the settler, colonial, white supremacist logics and practices of Israel, that conflate colonized women with the land and nature and assume that, therefore, to dominate the land necessitates dominating Palestinian women’s bodies and their reproductive capacities from 1948 until today.”
The full speech can be heard below.

In the past, Naber participated in another <a href="https://youtu.be/4GX3m-8k8m4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">panel discussion</a> on the “feminism and liberation struggles” of Palestinian people who — according to the host, Professor Sabina Vaught — are victims of an “ongoing US-Israeli colonization, occupation, settlement, and genocide.” Naber also led a TEDx Talk titled “<a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/nadine_naber_arab_feminism_is_not_an_oxymoron" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arab Feminism is Not an Oxymoron</a>,” discussing the history of head coverings.

During the Talk, Naber remarked that Muslim women in the 1980s held different beliefs about covering their hair. She then declared, “[T]he ‘veil’ has taken on new meaning in the 21st century — at a time when people are increasingly turning to religion as a refuge across the globe, including in the United States.”

She continued, “Especially after September 11 [2001] — in response to increased anti-muslim racism and war — more and more Arab Muslim women are proudly claiming their faith, and their Muslim identity, by covering their hair.” 

According to the Middle East Research and Information Project:

“Many accounts have suggested that the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/intifada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">intifada</a> has enabled Palestinian women to make great strides toward their social as well as political liberation … it is also true that the intifada has been the context for a vicious campaign in Gaza to impose the hijab (headscarf) on all women. The campaign included the threat and use of violence and developed into a comprehensive social offensive.”

<a href="https://history.uchicago.edu/directory/bruce-cumings">Dr. Bruce Cumings</a> is a Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Chicago. Dr. Cumings placed most of the blame of North Korea’s problems on the United States, while also whitewashing problems in Korea.  For example, Cumings denies the existence of a massive famine in North Korea in the 1990s. Cumings blames the United States for North Korea’s problems, not Communism.

Dr. Emily Landon is an<a href="https://www.uchicagomedicine.org/find-a-physician/physician/emily-landon" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Chicago.</a> Landon specializes in infectious diseases and is a leader of the “academic health system’s infection control and prevention efforts.”

Dr. Landon was featured in a September 2022 BuzzFeed News article titled<a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katiecamero/is-the-pandemic-really-over" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> “No, The Pandemic Isn’t Really Over. Here’s Why.”</a> The article was in response to President Biden’s September 18 interview with 60 Minutes where he said: “The pandemic is over. We still have a problem with COVID. We’re still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over.” Landon stated:
“The problem with Biden’s message is that it doubles down on this idea that we don’t really need to worry about COVID anymore … That messaging discourages people from keeping their vigilance up; it discourages people from putting on a mask in a high-risk situation; and it discourages people from getting those really essential boosters.”
 She continued:
“I really don’t think that people are quite as fatigued by the pandemic as they are of change. And while there’s still going to be some change to come, I think we have to do what we can to soothe and ameliorate the changes by avoiding saying things like the pandemic is over, which just creates whiplash.”
<a href="https://thechicagothinker.com/meet-dr-emily-landon-the-face-of-uchicagos-anti-science-covid-decrees/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chicago Thinker</a> reports that Landon “crassly and inappropriately mocks the unvaccinated, retweeting posts that depict them as being low-class and incapable of independent research.”

Dr. Landon has been very outspoken about her belief that everyone should get vaccinated. In a<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/fda-cdc-second-covid-19-booster-shots-moderna-pfizer-approved/?mkt_tok=MjUwLUNRSC05MzYAAAGDf_fgDphij0DOs6GGRDdZ4GoZ0TZKCkBJOcD5CVHS6_xf6k_s2oq-d1gpKCUW286EDJEEiS6Rwu8QPWA3Lm73Ury4bRl0rjwYrEXVL41JAKT5" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> CBS Chicago</a> article, she said:
“If you find yourself saying: ‘I can’t believe they’re asking me to get another stupid booster. When are they going to stop with this crap?’ you know, I think you need [to] take a little stock of where you are, and what luck you had, and what privilege you have to be in a place to say that about yourself.”

<a href="https://globalstudies.uchicago.edu/people/rebecca-journey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rebecca Journey</a> is a Teaching Fellow in the Social Sciences at the University of Chicago. Journey teaches a course in the Critical Race and Ethnic Studies program titled “The Problem of Whiteness.”

The <a href="http://collegecatalog.uchicago.edu/thecollege/comparativeraceethnicstudies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course description</a> states “whiteness has long functioned as an “unmarked” racial category” and has “resurfaced as a conspicuous problem within liberal political discourse.” The seminar will examine “the problem of whiteness through an anthropological lens, drawing from classic and contemporary works of critical race theory.”

Daniel Schmidt, a sophomore student at the University of Chicago, <a href="https://www.yaf.org/news/uchicago-professor-seeks-discipline-action-against-student-who-exposed-her-racist-course/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared details about the course</a> in a <a href="https://twitter.com/RealDSchmidt/status/1587557829476777984" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter thread</a> that went viral.

After the post, Journey claims she received death threats and was the victim of online harassment. According to the <a href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/education/2022/11/19/23467967/whiteness-course-triggers-online-harassment-death-threats-university-chicago-instructor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chicago Sun-Times</a>, Journey defended the course saying, “The class is emphatically not about ‘the problem with white people.’ The class approaches whiteness as a problem in the philosophical sense of an open question …[with] whiteness as an object of critical inquiry.”

Professor Journey believes that Schmidt “deliberately misrepresented” her course “to stoke white grievance on social media:”
“I want to stress that these attacks are the direct consequence of this student’s targeted cyberbullying campaign. This was a malicious attack not just on me as a teacher but on anti-racist pedagogy writ large.” 
The University of Chicago issued a statement supporting Journey and the “freedom of instructors to teach any course that has been developed through our faculty-led curricular process.” However, Journey is calling for disciplinary action against Schmidt, saying the university should issue a public condemnation of the student’s actions.

The course is scheduled to begin in Spring 2023.

<a href="https://divinity.uchicago.edu/directory/olivia-bustion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Olivia Bustion</a> is a doctoral theology candidate and Martin Marty Center Fellow at the University of Chicago. Bustion is teaching an autumn 2023 course through the Religious Studies Department titled, “<a href="http://collegecatalog.uchicago.edu/thecollege/religiousstudies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queering God</a>.”

The course <a href="https://thechicagothinker.com/is-god-queer-uchicagos-religious-studies-department-wants-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promises to discuss questions</a> such as: 
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Can God be an ally in queer worldmaking?”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Is God queer?” </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“What does queerness have to do with Judaism, Christianity, or Islam?” </li>
</ul>
Further, the course description reads:
“This course introduces students to foundational concepts in queer and trans studies by focusing on queer Jewish, Christian, and Islamic theologies. We will analyze the ways that contemporary artists, activists, and scholars are using theology to reimagine gender and experiment with new relational forms. Our readings will include a variety of genres: memoir, letters, scriptural interpretation, and a novel.” 
<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/is-god-queer-university-of-chicago-course-asks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a> wrote about Bastion’s University of Michigan doctoral thesis that “focused on the homosexual tendencies of a British poet named W.H.

“Auden, according to the thesis, wrote a ‘prayer [that] gives gay sex a place in Christian worship. In her thesis, she ‘examines key moments in Auden’s conceptualization of a calling the aligns the charism of same-sex eros with anti-imperialist prophetic critique—from the prayerful question of ‘In Sickness and in Health’ to the playful answer of ‘The Garrison.’”

“The problem with the course is not just its fundamentally flawed assertion that God could be ‘queer,’ but that it is given an air of respectability by the University of Chicago.”

<a href="https://humdev.uchicago.edu/directory/Eman-Abdelhadi" rel="noopener">Eman Abdelhadi</a> is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Comparative Human Development at the University of Chicago. Her research interests include religion, gender, identity, and demography.

After Hamas terrorists attacked Israel in October 2023, Abdelhadi <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=24238" rel="noopener">signed a statement</a> titled, “Writers in Solidarity with Palestine.” The letter begins, “We are writers who unequivocally stand with Palestine and its fight for liberation against the illegal occupation of ‘Israel’ and the violent settler colonial apartheid state.”

Some of the letter’s claims include: 

“The west is actively backing the ongoing settler colonial project that endorses either a slow or fast genocide, but is genocide either way.”
“Any form of Palestinian resistance is in no way equivalent to the daily violence of ‘Israeli’ settlers, the IOF (‘Israeli’ Occupying Forces), and the entire ‘Israeli’ state apparatus. Palestinian resistance exists because settler colonial occupation exists.” 
“The resistance is an ongoing response to a long history of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.” 
“Politicians at all levels of government internationally, primarily those in the west, are deliberately weaponizing islamophobic and orientalist language in order to manufacture consent for genocide in Palestine, heighten surveillance and policing domestically, and suppress any manner of showing solidarity with Palestine.” 

The writers end with several “calls to action” for the signatories and their institutions, including: 

“To stand in firm, vocal, and unwavering solidarity with Palestinian resistance against their occupation until liberation, by amplifying Palestinian voices in a time of mass disinformation and silencing; and by openly discussing the occupation in your workplace, home, on social media, in your work.” 
“To boycott all other literary institutions who profess Zionist affiliations.” 
“To engage with the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, a Palestinian-led movement to end international support for ‘Israel’s’ oppression of Palestinians and all institutions complicit in ‘Israeli’ apartheid and settler colonialism.” 

The statement has since been removed but can still be found on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231019194337/https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UVp2E4VoBgXTOYDs6BAAWI8fiaEUqFLOHoN50LKy4oI/edit" rel="noopener">internet archives</a>.

“This seminar explores Critical Race Theory, a movement that examines the relationship among race, racism, and the U.S. legal system and the role of law in constructing and upholding racial hierarchy…We will also consider the theoretical promises of CRT, its application to the law, and its practical and theoretical limitations in addressing contemporary legal issues.”
In 2020, Archer published “<a href="https://cdn.vanderbilt.edu/vu-wp0/wp-content/uploads/sites/278/2020/10/19130728/White-Mens-Roads-Through-Black-Mens-Homes-Advancing-Racial-Equity-Through-Highway-Reconstruction.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Men’s Road Through Black Men’s Homes”: Advancing Racial Equity Through Highway Reconstruction</a>” in the Vanderbilt Law Review. The paper discusses segregated public transportation in the United States prior to Civil Rights reform. Archer’s introduction says,
“The passage of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, popularly known as the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act or the Interstate Highway Act, buoyed both highway construction and the destruction of Black communities. Often under the guise of ‘slum removal,’ federal and state officials&#8217; purposes targeted Black communities to make a way for massive highway projects.”
She continued,
“In other communities, the highway spared Black homes but became a permanent racial barrier between white and Black neighborhoods, further entrenching racial segregation and walling off economic opportunities.”
Archer’s efforts and research to end racial segregation continue through the Center on Race, Inequity, and the Law. The Center published a video titled “The Enduring Problem of School Segregation” in which civil rights activists and lawmakers are interviewed regarding the progress of integration in the American education systems.
