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

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/280652" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Boyles</a> is a Professor of English Writing at Arizona State University (ASU). His “areas of expertise” include but are not limited to “Rhetoric,” “Public Communication,” and “Gender Studies.”

<a href="https://azfreenews.com/2023/09/meet-the-asu-professor-behind-arizonas-drag-queen-story-hour/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AZ Free News</a> featured Boyles in an article titled “Meet the ASU Professor Behind Arizona’s Drag Queen Story Hour.” The source writes:

“Boyles established Drag Queen Story Hour-Arizona in 2019, a chapter of the national Drag Queen Story Hour organization…Boyles has been featured in several ‘The Art of Drag’ events alongside one of his drag queen storytellers…The most recent event occurred on Wednesday [September 20, 2023].  During the <a href="https://youtu.be/RN0Bou3wmxk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presentation</a>, Boyles said that the notion that drag shows are harmful to children was a ‘myth.’ He also said that drag queens have been long considered the leaders of LGBTQ+ communities.”

During “<a href="https://youtu.be/RN0Bou3wmxk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Art of Drag</a>” talk, Boyles claimed Drag Queen Story Hour-Arizona has been “targeted by acts of violence” and “neo-Nazis showing up to disrupt events.” He also presented what he believed to be the beginning of drag culture in America using the newspaper clip featured below:

On May 16, 2023, Boyles <a href="https://angelictroublemakers.substack.com/p/queer-joy-summer-planting-3-promote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published a blog</a> - “Queer Joy Summer Planting #3: Promote Radical Queer Sex Education” - in which he stated he was “trying to plant more queer joy in the world.” He also said:

“Sex education is a topic I’ve been obsessed with for a while…In 2021, I did a three-part ‘<a href="https://angelictroublemakers.substack.com/p/queering-sex-ed-part-i" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queering Sex Ed</a>’ series on the history of sex education in America and the ways in which it has traditionally erased queer people, as well as the ways in which queer people have resisted this erasure and cared for their communities by creating their own sex ed underground.”

In the “Queer Sex Ed” blog, Boyles also wrote that sex education has been traditionally racist since “black people and immigrants were typically viewed as being sexually promiscuous and aggressive and sex education was designed to keep good white kids from being ‘infected’ by them.”

In <a href="https://lookoutphx.substack.com/p/bomb-threat-made-against-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another publication</a> promoting his Drag Queen Story Hour initiative, Boyles said:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sampson has published several gender- and race-based articles.

“We use ‘Latinx’ as a gender-neutral reference to the people of Latin-American heritage. To not negate gendered experiences, we use Latino/Latina, or Chicano/a when acknowledging individuals or past research identifying with these gendered identities … Although both ‘Black’ and ‘Latinx’ are politicized categories, we recognize the reality of the identities are diverse, intersecting, and fluid.”

Truthout said, “Hundreds of academics from universities and institutions of higher learning from … across North America have signed on to a joint letter, calling on their governments to demand Israeli ceasefire in Gaza … The signers, calling themselves ‘Educators for Palestine,’ are Palestinian academics and their allies who denounce Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sarreal’s research interests include Latin American Studies, Food, Drugs, and Capitalism. Her top area of expertise is “Consumerism.”

On September 20, 2024, Sarreal was featured in The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/christian-professors-intro-to-christianity-class-torpedoed-at-asu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Christian professor’s ‘Intro to Christianity’ class torpedoed at ASU.” The piece covers the cancelation of <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/drowenanderson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor Dr. Owen Anderson’s</a> religious studies course. 

After the college rejected his class, it was revealed that Sarreal objected to the premise of Christianity being taught on campus. The Fix recorded her comments:

“The <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/771107095/REL-270-Introduction-to-Christianity-ASU-Dr-Owen-Anderson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">syllabus</a> reflects a Christian way of teaching Christianity, which is to say the course does not adequately provide the kinds of critical, reflective, disciplinary skills that students need to have in order to study religious traditions.”

“Furthermore, the focus on ‘Western Civilization’ is problematic. It is true that Christianity has been ‘influential’ in European history, it has also been deeply influential elsewhere in ways that are completely ignored in the syllabus.” 

Based on the feedback Sarreal received from Dr. Anderson, it appears she either did not read the syllabus or chose to interpret the lesson plans through an objectionable lens. Sarreal specifically described one of the modules as being “focused on ‘the’ biblical worldview” and called this a “fraught oversimplification.”

Dr. Anderson’s rebuttal to Sarreal’s and other’s concerns about the course can be read <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ONMoLSpqoWzMlY84nc4fThVk7RKCCNPHZZwnJKUPnS8/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.

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

<a href="https://www.wheaton.edu/academics/faculty/joseph-cochran/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joseph (Joey) Cochran</a> is a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Wheaton College. According to his university profile, Cochran teaches numerous courses including “American History to 1865,” “American History Since 1865,” and “The Rise of Evangelicalism.”
In October 2023, Cochran penned an article titled “The Israel-Hamas Attack and the Evangelical Christian Response.” He believes, “Israel has the right to seek restitution and justice for the international crimes committed against its people, but Israel should not be permitted to commit pernicious war crimes themselves as they achieve their aims.”
Cochran also believes the <a href="https://www.patheos.com/blogs/anxiousbench/2023/10/the-israel-hamas-attack-and-the-evangelical-christian-response/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lands given to Palestine should be protected from Israel</a> and, if necessary, the Gerald F. Ford Carrier Strike Group should be used “as a deterrent to restrain Israel from overreach.”
Professor Cochran disagrees with many evangelical Christians who, through their public statements, have indicated a “united front against Hamas and unequivocal support of Israel.” He claims, “The current escalating rhetoric and tenor of evangelical Christians, who have invested themselves in this conflict, has tipped toward religiously prejudicial and genocidal attitudes.”
Cochran discusses the Just War theory, defined by Russell Moore as a theory “which holds that war is always awful, but—under certain, very limited circumstances—can be morally justified.” In response, Cochran writes:
“Just War theory has long been employed by evangelicals and the U.S. to justify and cultivate an industry complex of war. While Just War theory is a helpful premise to protect one’s people, it also can be used as an exploitative means to opportunistically justify offensives that gain territorial and material advantages.” 
Three days after posting the article, he <a href="https://twitter.com/Ptr_StephenFein/status/1713665678224523655" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> on an <a href="https://twitter.com/jtcochran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">account that has now been made private</a>:
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3238" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Screen-Shot-2023-10-31-at-3.05.23-PM-1024x679.png" alt="" width="640" height="424" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Screen-Shot-2023-10-31-at-3.05.23-PM-1024x679.png 1024w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Screen-Shot-2023-10-31-at-3.05.23-PM-300x199.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Screen-Shot-2023-10-31-at-3.05.23-PM-768x509.png 768w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Screen-Shot-2023-10-31-at-3.05.23-PM.png 1104w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />
This is not the first time Cochran has shared his thoughts on “white privilege.” In April 2023, he wrote an article titled, “<a href="https://www.patheos.com/blogs/anxiousbench/2023/04/second-amendment-rights-is-about-protecting-white-supremacy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Second Amendment Rights Is About Protecting White Supremacy</a>.” He believes that firearm possession throughout history has been a “racialized phenomenon.” He writes:
“Though microbial pathogens played their role in wiping out Amerindians across the Eastern Woodlands to the Great Lakes basin, the gun trade played its role in Indian on Indian genocidal acts of gun violence, no different than how Whites have apathetically viewed black on black gun violence in predominantly black communities during the latter twentieth and early twenty-first century.” 
He argues that the real reason people are against giving up their Second Amendment rights is due to the “disempowering effect it has for white men.”
“While many people think and argue that preserving this right is about protecting the right to sports, like marksmanship or hunting, or preserving the right to defend one’s home, in reality, the unspoken reason is that this right is symbolic of the sacred idol of white supremacy in our history.” 
“Altering this law is an admission that white men no longer have the power to protect their lives from ‘others’ who threaten them, and they no longer have the right to manipulate gun policy to protect their power, or, when all else fails, to take the lives of those they historically despised as heathens or oppressed as slaves.”

<a href="https://www.wheaton.edu/academics/faculty/esau-mccaulley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Esau McCaulley</a> is an Assistant Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College.

Dr. McCaulley recently wrote a book titled <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Reading-While-Black-American-Interpretation/dp/083085486X" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Reading While Black.”</a> The Atlantic describes the book as grappling with the question of how God “views racism and police violence, and how Christians can find hope in moments of profound grief about how Black people are treated in America.”

In October 2020, Dr. McCaulley <a href="https://www.holypost.com/post/425-reading-the-bible-while-black-with-esau-mccaulley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared on a podcast called the Holy Post</a> to discuss his new book. Chapter 2 of the book is titled “New Testament and the Theology of Policing.” Dr. McCaulley discussed how Christians focus on Romans 13’s command to submit to ruling authorities. However, he says that the apostle Paul, the assumed author of the book of Romans, builds this premise on the idea that if you have done nothing evil, then you have nothing to fear. He goes on to say that black Americans who have done nothing wrong have to live in fear and that it is “intellectually dishonest” to say otherwise.

Dr. McCaulley writes an op-ed column for the New York Times. In April 2021, he wrote an op-ed titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210421013748/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/20/opinion/derek-chauvin-verdict-floyd.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“How I’m Talking to My Kids About the Derek Chauvin Verdict.”</a> In the article, he discusses how “cruel America can be to Black bodies” and his relief that Derek Chauvin was found guilty.

In the same op-ed, he mentions how he has recently begun his Wheaton classes with discussions of anti-Asian racism, the events that took place at the Capitol on January 6th, and officer-involved shootings.

In a similar op-ed from May 2020—titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210822122943/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/10/opinion/ahmaud-arbery-justice.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Ahmaud Arbery and the America That Doesn’t Exist”</a>—he discusses how he fears going for runs in predominantly white neighborhoods. He talks about the distrust that Black people feel towards the justice system and appeals for the country to “take responsibility for its devaluation of blackness and its complicity in violence against black bodies.” He also shares his belief that black people in America are seen as menaces instead of “fully human beings.”

In July 2021, he wrote a column titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220417192346/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/18/opinion/racism-christianity.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Why Christians Must Fight Systemic Racism.”</a> In the article, he says that racism is still alive and well in the United States. Dr. McCaulley says that Christians should consider that they may have biases that they’re unaware of and that training in potential hidden biases could be an opportunity for growth.

In an article for the Washington Post titled <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2019/09/23/why-it-matters-if-your-bible-was-translated-by-racially-diverse-group/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Why it matters if your Bible was translated by a racially diverse group,”</a> Dr. McCaulley argues that women and people of color often have not been included in the translation process. He advocates for black churches to join with other Christians of color and sympathetic white churches to write their own translation of the Bible.

He recommends that diverse teams of ethnic, racial, and cultural scholars be formed to purge the “historic idolatry of whiteness” from the KJV and other biblical translations.         

In an article for <a href="https://faithfullymagazine.com/critical-race-theory-christians/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Faithfully Magazine</a>, Dr. Cartagena writes that CRT is necessary to understand that America is a “racialized society.” Lamenting that many preachers won’t adopt anti-racist practices, Cartagena describes this as the Church’s “betrayal” against the “racialized minority.” 

Dr. Cartagena insists that Christians share common interests with critical race theorists. As Christ called his followers to stand with the marginalized, he writes, Christians must now stand with oppressed minorities:  

“How should Christians respond to these common interests and conclusions? They should begin by recalling that Christ and the apostles call the Church to foster justice and mercy, giving special attention to the marginalized and oppressed (see Matthew 25; James 1). Because marginalization and oppression in pigmentocracies operate along racialized lines, Christians should share the common interests of critical race theorists.” 

Critical race theory is an integral component of Dr. Cartagena’s faith. In a separate article, titled, “<a href="https://sojo.net/articles/i-found-christs-liberating-spirit-critical-race-theory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I Found Christ’s Liberating Spirit on Critical Race Theory</a>,” he states that CRT was necessary to “decolonize” his mind. Dr. Cartagena writes that his love for God grew only after learning of the Church’s “racist colonial and imperial practices.” 

During a separate interview for the online magazine, “<a href="https://sojo.net/articles/why-nathan-cartagena-teaches-critical-race-theory-evangelicals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sojourners</a>,” Dr. Cartagena states that he felt “prompted by the spirit” to teach CRT. He further characterizes the Holy Spirit of the Trinity as an “agent of race-conscious liberation.”

“I’m thinking in distinctively trinitarian terms about how the Spirit is actually an agent of race-conscious liberation. The Spirit is going to help us see these racialized structures.”

Dr. Cartagena describes many of his students as “racialized white folks” and resistant to anti-racist practices. CRT is therefore needed, or so he argues, to remove their false ideas from “white evangelical spaces.” 

Dr. Cartagena also berates white Christians, accusing them of upholding white supremacy within the church. In one tweet, he alleges that Christians worship the God of white supremacy. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
White supremacy is a god that demands human sacrifice and gorges itself on the least of these.
And many worship it every Sunday.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

In another article authored by Dr. Cartagena—titled, “<a href="https://faithfullymagazine.com/white-man-leading-party-church/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The White Man Leading the White Man’s Party and the White Church</a>”—he derides white evangelicals as ignorant for supporting conservatives for public office. He refers to the “white church” as a pejorative, accusing it of being complicit in conservatives’ “strategic gendered racism.” 

The Professor Watchlist Team worked reached out to Cartagena for comment but has not received a response prior to publication.

<a href="https://www.wheaton.edu/academics/faculty/joseph-cochran/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joseph (Joey) Cochran</a> is a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Wheaton College. According to his university profile, Cochran teaches numerous courses including “American History to 1865,” “American History Since 1865,” and “The Rise of Evangelicalism.”

In October 2023, Cochran penned an article titled “The Israel-Hamas Attack and the Evangelical Christian Response.” He believes, “Israel has the right to seek restitution and justice for the international crimes committed against its people, but Israel should not be permitted to commit pernicious war crimes themselves as they achieve their aims.”

Cochran also believes the <a href="https://www.patheos.com/blogs/anxiousbench/2023/10/the-israel-hamas-attack-and-the-evangelical-christian-response/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lands given to Palestine should be protected from Israel</a> and, if necessary, the Gerald F. Ford Carrier Strike Group should be used “as a deterrent to restrain Israel from overreach.”

Professor Cochran disagrees with many evangelical Christians who, through their public statements, have indicated a “united front against Hamas and unequivocal support of Israel.” He claims, “The current escalating rhetoric and tenor of evangelical Christians, who have invested themselves in this conflict, has tipped toward religiously prejudicial and genocidal attitudes.”

Cochran discusses the Just War theory, defined by Russell Moore as a theory “which holds that war is always awful, but—under certain, very limited circumstances—can be morally justified.” In response, Cochran writes:
“Just War theory has long been employed by evangelicals and the U.S. to justify and cultivate an industry complex of war. While Just War theory is a helpful premise to protect one’s people, it also can be used as an exploitative means to opportunistically justify offensives that gain territorial and material advantages.” 
Three days after posting the article, he <a href="https://twitter.com/Ptr_StephenFein/status/1713665678224523655" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> on an <a href="https://twitter.com/jtcochran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">account that has now been made private</a>:

<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3238" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Screen-Shot-2023-10-31-at-3.05.23-PM-1024x679.png" alt="" width="640" height="424" />

This is not the first time Cochran has shared his thoughts on “white privilege.” In April 2023, he wrote an article titled, “<a href="https://www.patheos.com/blogs/anxiousbench/2023/04/second-amendment-rights-is-about-protecting-white-supremacy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Second Amendment Rights Is About Protecting White Supremacy</a>.” He believes that firearm possession throughout history has been a “racialized phenomenon.” He writes:
“Though microbial pathogens played their role in wiping out Amerindians across the Eastern Woodlands to the Great Lakes basin, the gun trade played its role in Indian on Indian genocidal acts of gun violence, no different than how Whites have apathetically viewed black on black gun violence in predominantly black communities during the latter twentieth and early twenty-first century.” 
He argues that the real reason people are against giving up their Second Amendment rights is due to the “disempowering effect it has for white men.”
“While many people think and argue that preserving this right is about protecting the right to sports, like marksmanship or hunting, or preserving the right to defend one’s home, in reality, the unspoken reason is that this right is symbolic of the sacred idol of white supremacy in our history.” 
“Altering this law is an admission that white men no longer have the power to protect their lives from ‘others’ who threaten them, and they no longer have the right to manipulate gun policy to protect their power, or, when all else fails, to take the lives of those they historically despised as heathens or oppressed as slaves.”

Dr. <a href="https://people.clas.ufl.edu/polssdw/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sharon D. Wright Austin</a> is a Professor of Political Science at the <a href="https://www.ufl.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Florida. </a>

As listed in her university profile, Dr. Austin’s research focuses on African-American political behavior, African-American political activism, and African-American women’s political behavior.  

During an interview, Dr. Austin <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/the-report/articles/2022-10-14/how-race-entered-the-midterms-in-the-guise-of-crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused conservatives of using “coded language” to appeal to bigoted voting blocks</a>:

"I think it's really just coded language, and it's not uncommon…While in the mid-20th century, candidates would openly use racial epithets, that changed later in the century, when GOP candidates would talk about busing and "states' rights.””

Her comments appeared in a US News and World Report article titled, “When ‘Crime’ is Code for ‘Race’.” She further claimed that “crime” and “socialism” are dog whistles for racists. 

In another article, Dr. Austin condemns the United States for <a href="https://www.governing.com/now/what-does-the-united-states-have-against-haitian-refugees" target="_blank" rel="noopener">targeting Haitian migrants with “anti-black racism.”</a> 

Noting that immigrants from Haiti are less likely to be granted political asylum than immigrants from other countries, Dr. Austin attributes this disparity to racism. She further accuses border patrol agents of beating Haitian migrants with rods: 

“These immigration issues alone don’t prove the existence of anti-black racism and we know that it is necessary to secure the border, but we have to ask ourselves two questions. Why is the number of Haitian migrants allowed to enter this country so much smaller than that of other nationalities? And when securing the border, can we really allow Haitians, or anyone else, to be beaten with rods by angry men on horseback?”

Although the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/07/08/border-agents-falsely-accused-of-whipping-migrants-punishment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">incident was later determined to be a hoax</a>, the story had already circulated widely among progressive activists. 

In addition to her professorial duties, Dr. Austin is a co-author of the upcoming book <a href="https://global.oup.com/academic/product/beyond-racial-capitalism-9780192868336?cc=us&amp;lang=en&amp;#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Beyond Racial Capitalism.”</a> According to the description, that book aims to highlight “anti-racist” cooperatives developed by the African diaspora.

<a href="https://people.clas.ufl.edu/rabreu26/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roberto L. Abreu</a> is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Florida. According to his biography and the description of his organization, the “<a href="https://cheverelab.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chevere Lab</a>, Abreu's research “explores ways in which marginalized communities resist systemic oppression” The Lab even offers <a href="https://cheverelab.com/chvere-resources" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resources for parents of LGBT children</a>, namely how they can evade bans on gender transitions of minors.

In an article for <a href="https://theconversation.com/transgender-people-of-color-face-unique-challenges-as-gender-discrimination-and-racism-intersect-179515" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Conversation,</a> Abreu alleges that transgender people were revered in cultures around the world. Europeans, he writes, introduced a gender binary to invalidate trans people and force them into “white social norms.” Abreu blames colonial oppression, Christianity, and “anti-blackness” for modern bigotry against trans people. 

“...European colonizers began forcing indigenous people to follow white social norms. These include anti-Blackness, Christianity and [SIC] a gender binary that reduced gender to just man and woman.” 

Abreu further lists racism, xenophobia, and cisnormativity as several of the many types of oppression that trans people face. He attacks “cisgender” doctors for “deadnaming” patients and attempting to cure trans people based on what they believe bodies should look like. 

He concludes that trans people should take pride in their gender and ethnic identity in the face of racism, sexism, and “transmisogynoir,” or the intersection of anti-Black racism, cissexism and sexism. Cisgender people, he continues, should “leverage [their] privilege to support trans people of color.”

Abreu believes the most influential support a trans child can receive comes from school teachers and staff. Writing in the <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/335420691_Supporting_Transgender_Students_School_Counselors%27_Preparedness_Training_Efforts_and_Necessary_Support" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Journal of LGBT Youth</a>, Abreu advocates for counselors to become the focal point to support trans kids in the light of “oppressive policies and laws (that) significantly impact the psychological and academic well-being of transgender students in the United States.” 

Trans oppression is a common theme throughout Abreu’s work, with a particular focus on transgender children. He often condemns conservative states for passing legislation he claims will “suffocate” trans children. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

The paper attempts to debunk “myths” held by parents and students that “harm” LGBTQ students.  

One “myth” Abreu lists is the idea that “Parents must be informed of their child’s sexual and gender identity.” He encourages school employees to withhold information about students, as “revealing their sexual and/or gender identity to parents might have detrimental effects for the youth.” 

Abreu further disputes that gender-neutral bathrooms are unsafe. He claims that gender-specific bathrooms infringe on the rights of “gender expansive” students, and “no scientific data supports the claim that trans-inclusive or gender-inclusive facilities pose a threat or are unsafe to any particular individual.”

DeCarlis—who <a href="https://remix.berklee.edu/able-assembly-conference/64/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describes</a> herself as a “white, queer, invisibly disabled, cis-passing person in a straight-passing relationship,” and possessing ”thin privilege”—hosts art workshops that feature fat, disabled, transgender, and nude models. 

DeCarlis aims to displace what she describes as universities’ tendency to only hire “<a href="https://www.wbur.org/news/2019/07/26/diversity-figure-drawing-modeling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white, thin, able-bodied models</a>.” She further attacked the “hyper-idealized, male, Greco-Roman forms” used in art for allegedly <a href="https://remix.berklee.edu/able-assembly-conference/64/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">perpetuating</a> “harmful ideas” about bodies. 

In her most recent exhibit, DeCarlis <a href="https://www.alligator.org/article/2023/06/figure-on-diversity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describes</a> her preferred models as “people of color, fat, disabled, members of the LGBTQ community,” or otherwise “oppressed:” 
“It’s really important for the models who have been oppressed on the basis of their appearance to have the opportunity to be seen.”

&nbsp;

DeCarlis features other models on her <a href="https://www.angeladecarlis.com/figureondiversity">personal site</a>. Many are transgender, nude, and have undergone visible mastectomies, phalloplasties, and vaginoplasties. 

She has previously described her work in a post on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpkw4pip4m9/">Instagram</a> (see image below) as based in critical race theory and influenced by “Black, BIPOC, Queer, Fat, Crip/Disabled scholars.”

&nbsp;

DeCarlis’ subsequent exhibit on June 11th, 2023 will recruit transgender-identifying teenagers and other “gender-diverse” persons under 18. Attendees will spend three days observing and drawing transgender and other “gender-expansive models.”

DeCarlis hopes the workshop will give “transgender” youth the chance to be “proud” of their bodies and learn from other adults who have transitioned. 
“[Age] 16 to 24 is a really vulnerable time—your body is going through a lot of changes…And for trans youth, these changes can be really traumatizing.”

&nbsp;

The event page stipulates that anyone is welcome to attend, but only if they have a “marginalized” identity. 
“Anybody who’s excited about the idea of posing for artists and who holds at least on [sic] marginalized identity is welcome to apply and pose.”

She teaches several courses including, “Black Feminist Theory,” “Afro-Futurism,” and “Black Horror, White Terror.”

The <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/642780162/Black-Horror-White-Terror-syllabus-at-the-University-of-Florida" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course syllabus</a> for “Black Horror, White Terror” says:
“We will probe the genre of horror and its trends with a particular focus on representations of racial Otherness and racism.

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

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

&nbsp;

He further encourages members of the audience—while speaking as an “anti-fascist”—to be prepared to “get their hands dirty” when confronting fascism.

&nbsp;

Dr. has also written for publications such as the <a href="https://antifascistnews.net/2016/12/24/trump-the-fascist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">radical environmentalist magazine, Earth First!</a>, and the ANTIFA-sympathetic publication, <a href="https://itsgoingdown.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">It’s Going Down</a>.

Upon its founding in 1980 as an alternative to mainstream environmental groups, <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Earth-First" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Earth First! adopted the slogan, “No compromise in defense of Mother Earth.</a>” The organization encourages militant, direct action or “monkeywrenching” to cripple targeted industries. Members have been known to <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2018/08/04/eco-terrorists-earth-first-dakota-pipeline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sabotage pipelines</a> and <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/07/why_is_joe_biden_still_standing_by_his_mendacious_earth_first_nominee_for_bureau_of_land_management.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lumber mills, often endangering the lives of workers</a> in the process.

<a href="https://itsgoingdown.org/about/">It’s Going Down</a> is an online news site dedicated to promulgating ANTIFA’s anarchist worldview and highlighting protests with an ANTIFA Presence. Dr. Ross frequently contributes to the site in <a href="https://itsgoingdown.org/antifa-worldwide-brief-history-international-antifascism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">order to defend and praise antifascist movements</a>.

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

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

Kunkel Professor of Government at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. McNulty’s university profile states she is a “Latin Americanist with expertise in participatory governance, gender, decentralization, and development.”

In March 2021, McNulty co-authored an <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2021/03/12/colleges-must-acknowledge-challenges-facing-female-academics-who-juggle-work-and#.YHTMhYqX9L4.link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> about the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on equity. The authors put forth the following goal to resolve what they deem to be the lessening of diversity and equity caused by COVID-19:
“For starters, every institution must acknowledge the problem and openly address what can appear invisible and ignored to those of us living in this reality. The academy risks emerging from this pandemic with less diversity and gender equity than before unless we change course. The first step is initiating a conversation and listening. Once people have a space to talk openly about their challenges, a lot of problem solving and solutions naturally emerge.”\

“Currently, her work focuses on trauma informed pedagogy.”

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

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

Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

“[Tripp] researches individual decision-making behavior and government actions to conduct evaluations of public health policies.

Presently, she is using Amazon Mechanical Turk, a crowdsourcing platform, to understand how individuals make risky decisions about uncertain health outcomes. This study is being used to better understand individual responses to cigarette warning labels and inform tobacco regulations.”

Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania.

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people.

Ms. <a href="http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/faculty/taryn-fivek" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taryn Fivek</a> is an Adjunct Lecturer in the <a href="http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/department-economics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Economics</a> at <a href="http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Jay College of Criminal Justice</a> in New York City. According to her university biography, her scholarship focuses on, “uneven economic and geographic development, financialization, neoliberalism, state power, and crisis.” A belligerent activist, she frequents protests across the city and is a representative of the Workers World Party (WWP).
Formed in 1959, the <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=6vOzIPWKrwgC&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;source=gbs_ge_summary_r&amp;cad=0#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WWP is a Marxist political party</a> that draws direct inspiration from the Bolshevik Revolution and Soviet Commissar, <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Leon-Trotsky/Role-in-Soviet-government" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leon Trotsky</a>. The organization was formed in 1959 as a more radical alternative to the existing socialist and communist parties at the time. Staunchly anti-American, the WWP frequently rushes to the <a href="https://www.workers.org/2012/world/peoples_korea_0126/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defense of the North Korean dictatorship</a>, even going so far as to claim the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnzBEbuZPIw&amp;t=602s&amp;ab_channel=WorkersWorldParty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democratic People&#8217;s Republic of Korea offers women more rights than Western Nations. </a>
Ms. Fivek echoes the WWP’s praise for dictators and authoritarian regimes in speeches before the party’s membership. During one meeting, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmwr7SSglhM&amp;t=8s&amp;ab_channel=WorkersWorldParty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she fondly recalled her attendance at a Venezuelan conference</a> with <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-venezuela-politics-idUSKBN14W2QP" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro</a> while praising the socialist revolution that swept over the country. A separate Buzzfeed report <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/hayesbrown/a-twitter-account-that-denies-people-are-starving-in-syria-i" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identified Ms. Fivek as the anonymous author of a blog and associated Twitter handle that defended Syrian dictator, Bashar Al-Assad</a>, who is known for brutally <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/11/world/middleeast/syria-torture-prisons.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">torturing and murdering his own citizens</a>.
The WWP further deploys its activists as a contingent of larger protests across the nation. The group is in regular attendance for the riots that <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/08/16/woman-who-destroyed-durham-confederate-statue-is-a-pro-north-korea-marxist/?utm_campaign=atdailycaller&amp;utm_source=Twitter&amp;utm_medium=Social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">topple Confederate statues</a> across the South. WWP members additionally took part in the protests that later became known as the “J20 Riots.” Descending on Washington DC in January of 2016, the WWP and other ANTIFA-affiliated groups <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170223112856/https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/protesters-who-destroyed-property-on-inauguration-day-part-of-well-organized-group/2017/01/21/096678c8-dfeb-11e6-ad42-f3375f271c9c_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trashed business, burned cars, and caused hundreds of thousands in damages</a> in the attempt to disrupt the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
Ms. Fivek has openly acknowledged her own participation alongside WWP in the destruction. In a video posted a week after the inauguration, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_d1UdOvdkg&amp;t=272s&amp;ab_channel=WorkersWorldParty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she details the party’s operations on the ground while vowing to continue fighting “every f***ing day” until they “overthrow this killer system”</a>:
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-3" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Fivek-Were-going-to-fight-every-single-day..mp4?_=3" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Fivek-Were-going-to-fight-every-single-day..mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Fivek-Were-going-to-fight-every-single-day..mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
Ms. Fivek routinely denounces capitalism and western nations at large in other speeches at WWP meetings. Delivering one such lecture, beneath a Soviet hammer and sickle, Ms. Fivek commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution and lauds the Communist Party&#8217;s alleged contributions to world progress. She encourages the members in attendance to draw inspiration from the Soviets in order to “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJjj1EZOJzA&amp;t=402s&amp;ab_channel=SkyNewsAustralia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">smash white supremacy, abolish capitalism, and immediately implement socialism.”</a>

&nbsp;
Despite her praise, the Bolshevik Revolution and the subsequent rise of the Soviet Union cost tens of millions of lives. After overthrowing the Russian government in the fall of 1917, Vladimir Lenin immediately set up <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/red-terror-set-macabre-course-soviet-union" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a series of concentration camps, or “gulags” for political prisoners, and led the Soviet secret police in a brutal crackdown</a>—referred to as the “Red Terror”—against dissidents and political opponents. As many as one million perished before the carnage ended with the cessation of the Russian Civil War in 1921. As <a href="https://fee.org/articles/the-staggering-toll-of-the-russian-revolution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">many as 60 million people perished </a>before the total dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Representing the WWP in a separate 2017 protest, Ms. Fivek condemns President Trump’s recent decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. During her remarks, <a href="https://youtu.be/QdLUHeN5I1U?t=2645" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ms. Fivek lauds the “Palestinian Vanguard’s” violent resistance against Israel</a>, even going as far as to praise Palestinian children for participating in the struggle. She further derides Israel as, “some Zionist entity” heading the biding of globalists and big banks.
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-4" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Taryn-Fivek-Palestian-Vanguard.mp4?_=4" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Taryn-Fivek-Palestian-Vanguard.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Taryn-Fivek-Palestian-Vanguard.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
Towards the conclusion of her tirade, Ms. Fivek leads the crowd in chanting, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free.” The slogan was <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/291203" target="_blank" rel="noopener">popularized by terrorist groups such as the Palestinian Liberation Organization</a> (PLO). The phrase alludes to the destruction of Israel—and thus the genocide of the nation’s Jews—between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. The slogan is thought to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1948/08/02/archives/aim-to-oust-jews-pledged-by-sheikh-head-of-moslem-brotherhood-says.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">originate from the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan el-Banna</a>, who was quoted by The New York Times stating, &#8220;If the Jewish state becomes a fact, and this is realized by the Arab peoples, they will drive the Jews who live in their midst into the sea.&#8221;
The full video of Ms. Fivek’s remarks is available below.

The slogan is thought to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1948/08/02/archives/aim-to-oust-jews-pledged-by-sheikh-head-of-moslem-brotherhood-says.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">originate from the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan el-Banna</a>, who was quoted by The New York Times stating, "If the Jewish state becomes a fact, and this is realized by the Arab peoples, they will drive the Jews who live in their midst into the sea."

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

<a href="https://globalstudies.as.virginia.edu/people/profile/trf6k" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tessa Farmer</a> is an Associate Professor in the Global Studies Program and Anthropology Department at the University of Virginia.
After the terrorist group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, Farmer offered extra credit to students who attended a discussion about how to “stand in solidarity with Palestinians resisting occupation.”
According to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/college-professor-offers-extra-credit-rally-resisting-israeli-occupation-sparking-state-ag-probe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News Digital</a>, Farmer sent a message to students on October 12 to promote an event hosted by Students for Justice in Palestine. The event was advertised as a “[teach-in] and demonstration about the current situation in Gaza, the events and history that led to this moment, and a discussion about how we can [stand] in solidarity with Palestinians resisting occupation.”
Farmer said students could receive extra credit by attending “an applicable event” that “relates to class conversations/themes” and writing a 250-word reflection about the event in relation to a course reading.
She sent a subsequent message to students which was shared with Fox News Digital by a University of Virginia spokesperson. Farmer said the goal “is for students to attend events around grounds that are applicable to the global studies course topics, recognizing that important issues will have a diversity of perspectives.”
“By posting the information provided by the organizers about the event that is happening today, I did not intend to imply that there is a link between endorsing the viewpoint of the organization and receiving extra credit for the course. In attending any event, I encourage you to critically engage with the content presented and to form your own opinion.” 
However, this is not the first time Farmer has <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Tessa_Farmer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shown support</a> for Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). In 2016, Fordham University blocked the formation of a Fordham SJP chapter “based on the reported behavior of other [SJP] chapters on other campuses.” Fordham decided, “the establishment of a local branch could be ‘polarizing’ and pose a safety concern to students and faculty.”
Farmer signed a letter authored by <a href="https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jewish Voice for Peace</a>—the “largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionest organization in the world”—that condemned the university’s decision to block the establishment of an SJP chapter. The <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/548748b1e4b083fc03ebf70e/t/58c1994ba5790ae223fbbf81/1489082707248/JVP+letter+to+Fordham+University.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signatories wrote</a>,
“We demand that you immediately rescind the rejection of SJP as a student group on campus, apologize to the students affected by this harmful decision, and reaffirm Fordham’s commitment to free speech and academic freedom.” 
In April 2017, four students sued Fordham University and a New York court annulled the university’s decision and required Fordham to recognize SJP as a club in August 2019.
Farmer has also shown support for the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement. In 2014, she <a href="https://anthroboycott.wordpress.com/the-statement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed a resolution</a> encouraging the American Anthropological Association (AAA) to boycott Israeli academic institutions. The resolution accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing, colonization, discrimination, and military occupation” and the signatories stated:
“We pledge not to collaborate on projects and events involving Israeli academic institutions, not to teach at or attend conferences and other events at such institutions, and not to publish in academic journals based in Israel.”

<a href="https://gened.as.virginia.edu/walsh">David Austin Walsh</a> is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia. His academic work centers on alleging active links between the far-right and conservatism over the past two centuries. Walsh <a href="https://gened.as.virginia.edu/egmt-1530-hateinnany-fascism-antifascism-and-global-far-right">teaches a course titled</a> Hateinnany: Fascism, Antifascism, and the Global Far Right.

In an attempt to tie far-right extremism to mainstream conservatism, Walsh has penned various articles attempting to connect mainstream conservatism with mass shootings. Writing for Arc Digital, he describes the <a href="https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/2019/08/05/el-paso-shooting-victim-list-names-identified-walmart-tx-texas/1918691001/">El Paso shooter’s</a> violent and bigoted ideology as <a href="https://arcdigital.media/the-el-paso-shooter-and-donald-trump-share-the-same-politics-so-why-doesnt-the-media-say-so-aff5062c26b1">identical to widely-held conservative stances</a>.

He then continued,

<a href="http://bostonreview.net/race-politics/david-walsh-fragile-patriotism-american-conservative">Expressing further disgust for conservatives</a>, he praised the 1619 Project—<a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/10/new-york-times-1619-project-distorts-history-of-slavery/">a demagogic and racially-laden</a> polemic published by the New York Times—in an article for the Boston Review. He described conservative opposition to the largely erroneous articles as being rooted in racial bigotry.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1045 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-3-e1611090371797-1024x560.png" alt="" width="580" height="317" />

David holds extreme contempt at even the idea of a conservative presidency. <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=16097">He has tweeted </a>calls to overthrow the President of the United States and to purge conservative voters in a hypothetical “de-Nazification,” similar to Germany post-WW2.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1004 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-30-at-3.29.45-PM.png" alt="" width="472" height="226" />

As a professor that has taken it upon himself to teach his students about politically right-of-center principles and individuals, it is concerning to see Walsh seamlessly intertwine conservatism with racial bigotry and extremism and then present it as mainstream amongst the right.

Updated - Spring, 2021

<a href="https://uvahealth.com/findadoctor/profile/christine-m-burt-solorzano" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christine M. Burt Solorzano</a> is a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the <a href="https://www.virginia.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Virginia</a> (UVA), who described performing gender transitions on children as young as 9 years old in.

The UVA-affiliated hospital that employs Solorzano lists <a href="https://childrens.uvahealth.com/services/transgender-youth-health" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a range of procedures available to “trans, nonbinary, intersex, and asexual” children as young as 11 years old</a>. The “Transgender Youth Health Services” advertised include:

- Education about sex and contraception.

- Referrals for therapy to help manage anxiety, depression, and ongoing emotional issues.

- Puberty blockers that delay sex-related physical changes.

- Help in finding resources in the community.

- Referrals for gender-affirming surgeries and voice therapy.

The clinic requires an official diagnosis of gender dysphoria by a medical professional and consent from a parent or guardian to treat minors. However, the hospital’s definition of dysphoria is subjective; a diagnosis may only require that “a child’s sense of their gender differs from the sex assigned to them at birth.” Parents are not even required to attend initial appointments with their children.

In a lecture uncovered by The Daily Caller, <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2022/10/03/university-of-virginia-youth-gender-clinic-offers-puberty-blockers-chemical-castration-referrals-minors-undergo-breast-removal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Solorzano discusses performing “irreversible” surgeries</a> as a part of a gender transition. While claiming that many are only offered to those over 18, she states that children as young as 16 years old may receive double mastectomies. A masectomy–or “top surgery”—removes an otherwise healthy teenager's breasts as part of the female-to-male transition.

https://rumble.com/embed/v1jvzbw/?pub=4

&nbsp;

Further on, Dr. Solorzano discusses how she uses “cross-sex” hormones to block puberty in teens who transition. Acknowledging that while these drugs are not recommended for minors, she states that making a teen suffering from dysphoria undergo property is “cruel.” Dr. Solorzano believes that many teens are mature enough to make these “irreversible” decisions.

https://rumble.com/embed/v1jvz26/?pub=4

&nbsp;

Conceding that children must first begin puberty before treatment, Dr. Solorzano recalls consulting a 9-year-old girl on receiving hormones. She then claims that puberty blockers are temporary and puberty can be resumed at any time by stopping treatment.

https://rumble.com/embed/v1jvypy/?pub=4

&nbsp;

A common drug used to block puberty is called Lupron, which was <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designed to castrate sex offenders and is not approved by the FDA</a>. Even if the dosage is <a href="https://www.commonsense.news/p/top-trans-doctors-blow-the-whistle?s=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">halted mid-transition, children are still unable to undergo puberty.</a>

While available via Youtube for over eight years, the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzkf6OqNE2Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">university appears to have deleted Dr, Solorzano’s lecture following coverage by The Daily Caller as of publication.</a>

Stephanie Brennhofer’s <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-brennhofer-mph-ms-rdn-3345a87a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LinkedIn</a> profile describes her as a “senior data analyst and infectious disease epidemiologist in the Division of Infectious Diseases and International Health” at the University of Virginia. Brennhofer’s personal Twitter account characterizes her as the “<a href="https://twitter.com/sbrennhofer?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anti-diet dietitian</a>.” 
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2910" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Screenshot-2023-03-27-at-2.14.15-PM.png" alt="" width="592" height="296" />
In exclusive audio obtained by Campus Reform, Stephanie Brennhofer <a href="https://twitter.com/sbrennhofer?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">urges students to stop using the word “fat”</a> as it is “inherently fatphobic” and “reinforces that thin is good.” 

Her comments were delivered during a guest lecture—titled, “Diet Culture &amp; Weight Stigma”—in an “Exercise and Nutrition Medicine” course:
“The word ‘fat’ is inherently fatphobic because it signals to fat people, and really everybody uses that, right? So if you don’t want to use it, and use it, it’s bad, and it reinforces that thin is good and that’s not what we want to do.    
Brennhofer claims the term “fat” only indicates somebody’s body shape and “it’s not a negative descriptor:” 
“All fat does is describe somebody’s body shape and it’s not a negative descriptor. And so the body positivity community has really tried to like reclaim [fat] as their own. And its generally preferred over the medical terms of ‘overweight’ and ‘obese’ because those carry medical connotations.” 
Continuing, she urges the class to stop labeling foods “good or bad” and “guilting people” who eat them. Brennhofer claims that a person’s weight is based on their genetics and there is nothing dietitians can do to get their patients to lose weight;   
“So, you know, [there’s] a lot of myths. You know, this whole idea that weight is mainly biological, right? Is, like, that’s going to change our weight. Our body is just kind of at this point based on genetic factors. I mean, other things do play a role, but it’s mainly genetics.” 
Brennhofer tells students that it's “unethical” to tell patients how to lose weight because they have very little control over their size. She even claims there are negative health effects for patients that do lose weight:
“And the data that we have show [sic] that when people gain and lose mass amounts of weight, that actually increases the risk of other very serious health outcomes like cancer and cardiovascular disease.”

Liz Cheney is a <a href="https://news.virginia.edu/content/liz-cheney-serve-professor-practice-uva-center-politics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of Practice</a> at the University of Virginia. She is also the daughter of former Vice-President Dick Cheney (2001-2008). 

Cheney’s most controversial moments have come as one of the members of the January 6th Select Committee. Formed to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/30/politics/republicans-january-6-select-committee-vote/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investigate the Capitol protests of January 2021</a>, Cheney and the committee sought to portray the mostly peaceful protests <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/06/09/liz-cheney-jan-6-committee-full-statement-00038730" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as a directed attack on the Capitol and even democracy itself</a>. 

As Vice-Chair, Cheney had exclusive access to over forty-thousand hours of footage and still photos from the riots and wielded immense subpoena power. 

When former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon defied the committee's subpoena, <a href="https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2021/1015/Bannon-defies-Jan.-6-subpoena-cites-Trump-executive-privilege" target="_blank" rel="noopener">citing executive privilege</a>, Cheney voted to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211026010223/https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/21/politics/house-republicans-vote-yes-steve-bannon-contempt-of-congress/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hold him in contempt of Congress</a>. While appeals are still ongoing, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/steve-bannons-prison-sentence-delayed-appeal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bannon could face four months in jail</a>. 

When Peter Navarro—Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy under President Trump—defied the committee's subpoenas, Cheney <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/04/06/house-votes-scavino-navarro-contempt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted to hold him in Contempt of Congress</a> and referred Navarro to the Department of Justice for prosecution. Navarro was allegedly <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/06/03/report-peter-navarro-handcuffed-at-airport-and-frogmarched-to-the-courthouse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dragged off a plane by FBI agents</a> at the time of his arrest and “frog marched” into a jail cell where he <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/courts/with-no-legal-representation-navarro-pleads-for-extension-in-contempt-of-congress-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spent 24 hours without legal counsel or communications</a>. 

After 41,000 hours of <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/media/3866648-mccarthy-gives-fox-news-tucker-carlson-access-to-jan-6-capitol-surveillance-footage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Capitol footage was released to Tucker Carlson</a>, Cheney and the other committee members were scrutinized for selectively editing and withholding key evidence. Upon review, Tucker Carlson’s team determined that <a href="https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2023/03/08/too-bad-to-check-did-the-j6-committee-add-sound-effects-to-surveillance-videos-n535600" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sound effects were added to the footage</a> to make the protest seem more chaotic and violent. 

In one brief clip released by Cheney and the January 6th Committee, Senator Josh Hawley appears to be <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9kUmwRDjyI&amp;ab_channel=NBCNews" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fleeing the protests that Committee members accused him of instigating</a>. The full footage <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2023/03/06/tucker_carlson_january_6th_committee_lied_about_josh_hawley_running_away.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">withheld by the Committee</a> reveals dozens of congressmen were evacuated by the capitol police, and Hawley was jogging behind. 

While prominent officials claimed that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was murdered by protestors, released footage shows Sicknick—whose death was later determined to be caused by stroke—<a href="https://nypost.com/2023/03/06/footage-shows-capitol-cop-brian-sicknick-uninjured-on-jan-6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unharmed and directing protestors in the Capitol</a>. Electric bookmarks indicate Vice-Chair Cheney’s and the Committee reviewed the footage but <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/tucker-carlson-releases-exclusive-jan-6-footage-says-politicians-media-lied-about-sicknick-qanon-shaman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chose not to release it. </a>

 As Vice-President of the Committee, Cheney had access to the exculpatory footage of Jacob Chansley—nicknamed the “Q-Shaman”— but refused to release it. Chansley was <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/17/qanon-shaman-jacob-chansley-sentence-522807" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested and pled guilty to obstructing an official proceeding</a>. He is currently serving up to 41 months in prison. The footage shows Chansley being <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/tucker-carlson-releases-exclusive-jan-6-footage-says-politicians-media-lied-about-sicknick-qanon-shaman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">led around the capitol by police, who even opened doors for him</a>. Chansley’s lawyer claims the footage was <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/former-lawyer-qanon-shaman-says-jan-6-footage-wasnt-shown-client-calls-prison-sentence-tragedy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">withheld from the defense</a>. He had not even seen the footage until it was released after the trial concluded. 

Despite Cheney’s relentless pursuit of defendants, critics have noted her reluctance to subpoena Ray Epps, who is infamous for telling <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S66NWcSccwE&amp;ab_channel=ForbesBreakingNews" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protestors to “go into Capitol”</a>, and was present among the rioters who first breached the barricades.  

Despite his actions, Cheney has vocally defended Epps. When pressed by a student at the University of Chicago why the “insurrectionist” Epps hadn’t been arrested, the Vice-Chair <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/congress/liz-cheney-asked-about-prosecuting-ray-epps-jan-6-role-says-doj-makes-decision" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denounced the inquiry as a “conspiracy theory.”</a>

Cheney’s initial foray into politics came in 2013 when she primaried Wyoming Senator Mike Enzi. She spent most of her childhood and adult life outside of the state and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220519222115/https://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/17/us/politics/liz-cheney-to-challenge-senator-michael-enzi-of-wyoming.html">only moved to Jackson Hole in 2012</a>. Media outlets deemed Cheney a “<a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/onpolitics/2013/07/22/cheney-senate-wyoming-enzi-carpetbagger/2575197/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">carpetbagger</a>” after her campaign announcement <a href="https://theintercept.com/2021/05/12/liz-cheney-republican-house-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">geotagged her location in Virginia</a>, her primary residence at the time.    

Although eventually withdrawing, Cheney <a href="https://rollcall.com/2016/11/08/liz-cheney-wins-wyoming-house-seat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">successfully ran for Wyoming’s Lone House Seat in 2016</a>, where she served from 2016-2022 before <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/16/wyoming-alaska-primary-results-2022-00052216" target="_blank" rel="noopener">losing the primary by nearly 40 points</a> to challenger Harriet Hageman. 

While in Congress, Cheney took no public salary. Despite this, her personal wealth<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/08/11/records-liz-cheneys-net-worth-ballooned-much-600-percent-during-her-time-office/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> ballooned by over 600%</a>. Entering office with roughly $7 million dollars in assets, Cheney left six years later with an estimated net worth of $44 million. 

Much of Cheney’s <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/personal-finances/liz-cheney/net-worth?cid=N00035504" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wealth is tied to her stake in the law firm Latham &amp; Watkins</a>. Her husband, <a href="https://www.lw.com/people/PhilipJPerry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philip J. Perry</a>, has served as a partner since she first took office. The firm advised and lobbied on behalf of technology companies with direct connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). 

The State Department declared one company, Tencent, a “tool of the Chinese government” <a href="https://qz.com/1708662/chinese-tech-giants-tools-of-the-communist-party-us-official" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over surveillance and security concerns</a>.  Latham &amp; Watkins further <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/firms/summary?cycle=2004&amp;id=D000000536&amp;t0-search=exe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lobbied on behalf of Exelon</a>, a corporation that <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052970204358004577031241071779010" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aids the Chinese government’s nuclear program. </a>

While her <a href="https://www.lw.com/en/news/2020/11/latham-advises-tencent-music-on-investment-in-wave" target="_blank" rel="noopener">husband’s firm advised CCP companies</a>, Cheney <a href="https://www.congress.gov/member/liz-cheney/C001109?q=%7B%22subject%22%3A%22Armed+Forces+and+National+Security%22%7D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">handled classified information</a> regarding national security while serving on the Armed Services Committee. 

Upon Cheney’s acceptance of her position as Professor of Practice at the University, Virginia President Jim Ryan <a href="https://news.virginia.edu/content/liz-cheney-serve-professor-practice-uva-center-politics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated that he was “delighted</a> [that] students will have an incredible opportunity to learn from Liz Cheney, who has fiercely defended democracy as part of a distinguished career.” Director of the Center for Politics, Larry Sabato, called Cheney a “model of political courage and leadership.” Cheney’s position will run through the end of the Fall 2023 semester, with an option to renew upon the conclusion of the academic year.

<a href="https://globalstudies.as.virginia.edu/people/profile/trf6k" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tessa Farmer</a> is an Associate Professor in the Global Studies Program and Anthropology Department at the University of Virginia.

After the terrorist group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, Farmer offered extra credit to students who attended a discussion about how to “stand in solidarity with Palestinians resisting occupation.”

According to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/college-professor-offers-extra-credit-rally-resisting-israeli-occupation-sparking-state-ag-probe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News Digital</a>, Farmer sent a message to students on October 12 to promote an event hosted by Students for Justice in Palestine. The event was advertised as a “[teach-in] and demonstration about the current situation in Gaza, the events and history that led to this moment, and a discussion about how we can [stand] in solidarity with Palestinians resisting occupation.”

Farmer said students could receive extra credit by attending “an applicable event” that “relates to class conversations/themes” and writing a 250-word reflection about the event in relation to a course reading.

She sent a subsequent message to students which was shared with Fox News Digital by a University of Virginia spokesperson. Farmer said the goal “is for students to attend events around grounds that are applicable to the global studies course topics, recognizing that important issues will have a diversity of perspectives.”
“By posting the information provided by the organizers about the event that is happening today, I did not intend to imply that there is a link between endorsing the viewpoint of the organization and receiving extra credit for the course. In attending any event, I encourage you to critically engage with the content presented and to form your own opinion.” 
However, this is not the first time Farmer has <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Tessa_Farmer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shown support</a> for Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). In 2016, Fordham University blocked the formation of a Fordham SJP chapter “based on the reported behavior of other [SJP] chapters on other campuses.” Fordham decided, “the establishment of a local branch could be ‘polarizing’ and pose a safety concern to students and faculty.”

Farmer signed a letter authored by <a href="https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jewish Voice for Peace</a>—the “largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionest organization in the world”—that condemned the university’s decision to block the establishment of an SJP chapter. The <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/548748b1e4b083fc03ebf70e/t/58c1994ba5790ae223fbbf81/1489082707248/JVP+letter+to+Fordham+University.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signatories wrote</a>,
“We demand that you immediately rescind the rejection of SJP as a student group on campus, apologize to the students affected by this harmful decision, and reaffirm Fordham’s commitment to free speech and academic freedom.” 
In April 2017, four students sued Fordham University and a New York court annulled the university’s decision and required Fordham to recognize SJP as a club in August 2019.

Farmer has also shown support for the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement. In 2014, she <a href="https://anthroboycott.wordpress.com/the-statement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed a resolution</a> encouraging the American Anthropological Association (AAA) to boycott Israeli academic institutions. The resolution accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing, colonization, discrimination, and military occupation” and the signatories stated:
“We pledge not to collaborate on projects and events involving Israeli academic institutions, not to teach at or attend conferences and other events at such institutions, and not to publish in academic journals based in Israel.”

On March 5, 2024, Carson was <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/ben-shapiro-rap-is-racist-and-sexist-hip-hop-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in The College Fix</a> after calling a <a href="https://youtu.be/5kGpohEpuTE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rap song</a>, featuring political commentator <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-ben-shapiro-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro</a>, a “white male grievance” and “racist.” The song essentially calls out “woke” culture (e.g. “transgenderism,” “systemic racism”) with a hook that says, “I don’t care if I offend you.”

Quoting Carson, The Fix said: 
“‘Given today’s bitter partisan divide and extremist culture wars, it comes as no surprise that Shapiro’s track quickly found a devoted following. But his racist, anti-rap rap lyrics ultimately repeat the same tired charges right-wing politicians have used against hip-hop since its birth over 50 years ago.’”
Carson was also quoted as saying, “‘I would love to believe that racist, sexist, white male grievance rap isn’t where the zeitgeist is in America. But Ben Shapiro and his conservative followers are betting that it is — at least for a brief moment.’”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<a href="https://gened.as.virginia.edu/walsh">David Austin Walsh</a> is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia. His academic work centers on alleging active links between the far-right and conservatism over the past two centuries. Walsh <a href="https://gened.as.virginia.edu/egmt-1530-hateinnany-fascism-antifascism-and-global-far-right">teaches a course titled</a> Hateinnany: Fascism, Antifascism, and the Global Far Right.
In an attempt to tie far-right extremism to mainstream conservatism, Walsh has penned various articles attempting to connect mainstream conservatism with mass shootings. Writing for Arc Digital, he describes the <a href="https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/2019/08/05/el-paso-shooting-victim-list-names-identified-walmart-tx-texas/1918691001/">El Paso shooter’s</a> violent and bigoted ideology as <a href="https://arcdigital.media/the-el-paso-shooter-and-donald-trump-share-the-same-politics-so-why-doesnt-the-media-say-so-aff5062c26b1">identical to widely-held conservative stances</a>.

As a professor that has taken it upon himself to teach his students about politically right-of-center principles and individuals, it is concerning to see Walsh seamlessly intertwine conservatism with racial bigotry and extremism and then present it as mainstream amongst the right.

Dr. <a href="https://www.brandeis.edu/gsas/admissions/contact.html">Kate Slater</a> is the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs at Brandeis University. On her personal website, Dr. Slater <a href="https://kateaslater.com/about">describes herself as a “white anti-racist scholar and educator.</a>” In this capacity, Dr. Slater writes that she studies how “white racial identity formation and how racism operates individually, organizationally, and systemically.”
In a now-highly-publicized post on her private Instagram page—obtained by The College Fix—Dr. Slater launched into a<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/brandeis-university-dean-yes-all-white-people-are-racist/"> racially inflammatory attack on white people and defended the teaching of Critical Race Theory</a>. Writing that, “all white people are racist,” she claims that American society conditions white people—including herself—to be racist, which justifies the need for critical theory in education.

Critical Theory, or Critical Race Theory, is an <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/">intellectual branch of Marxism that alleges American society and all of its founding institutions are infected with and perpetuate white supremacy</a>. Furthermore, proponents of Critical Race Theory believe that people should take proactive steps to dismantle these institutions in the name of equity, which is also referred to as being “anti-racist.”
Dr. Slater’s website also <a href="https://kateaslater.com/trainings">offers anti-racism training and courses on Critical Race Theory for universities and K-12 institutions</a>. On the promotional page for one such lecture titled 4 Steps to Begin an Antiracist Education—<a href="https://www.unh.edu/unhtoday/2020/07/world-shaped-race">sponsored and promoted by the University of New Hampshire</a>—skin color is described as the determining factor for how successful one&#8217;s life will be.

In the lecture itself, Dr. Slater states that an antiracist worldview begins with the understanding that a <a href="https://media.unh.edu/media/In-Depth+on+InclusionA+4+Steps+to+Begin+An+Anti-Racist+Education/1_8lg7eccx">white person is never NOT racist in American society</a>.

Dr. Slater urges her white students to personally engage in antiracism throughout the lecture.

Chaudhry’s profile says she is “a cultural anthropologist whose work focuses on gender, race, sexuality, and class in the United States.” 

Chaudhry identifies with the trans community and prefers the pronouns “they/he.” She is listed as a <a href="https://www.appliedtransstudies.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senior and Distinguished Fellow of CATS</a> (The Center for Applied Transgender Studies). The organization's About page says, “We are an independent nonprofit research organization run by transgender people for transgender people.” 

In August 2021, Chaudhry was featured in a <a href="https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2021/aug/11/remove-male-and-female-from-birth-certificates-her/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spokesman-Review article</a> titled “Remove ‘male’ and ‘female’ from birth certificates? Here’s why [the] nation’s largest group of physicians recommends it.” The column discusses the American Medical Association’s [AMA] efforts to remove binary gender designation from identification documents. 

Citing a June report, Spokesman-Review said, “The AMA’s LGBTQ+ advisory committee advised the organization to push for removing sex labels from the public part of the birth certificate…But some [LGBTQ+ advocates] cautioned against celebrating the news too soon.”

Chaudhry stated, “People are still really committed to a binary sex model…The recommendation may say sex is not important for something like a birth certificate, but if people are still committed to a binary sex model, they find other ways to determine those things.”

Later that year, Chaudhry participated in <a href="https://www.brandeis.edu/arts-sciences/core/critical-conversations/2021-22/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Brandeis Core</a> — a panel discussion for “community” and “critical conversations.” The discussion titled “<a href="https://www.brandeis.edu/arts-sciences/core/critical-conversations/2021-22/videos.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The ‘Ins’ and ‘Outs’ of LGBTQ+ Community</a>” focused on “the limits and possibilities for [the] queer and transgender community on a global scale, particularly how gender, race, class and nation complicate what community can and does mean.” 

In a discussion on the use of trans community identifying language, Chaudhry said:

<a href="https://www.brandeis.edu/english/faculty/callender.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brandon Callender</a> is an Assistant Professor of English at Brandeis University. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, Brandon prefers the pronouns he/him/his. His research interests include 19th and 20th Century American Literature, African American Literature, and Gender and Sexuality Studies.

Callender’s list of courses taught includes ENG 15B — Black Joy. The description says the course “explores the exuberant and sometimes strained relationship between black people and joy.” His course EN 175B — Getting Behind in Black Gay Men’s Literatures is a study of “black queer men’s sexualities…[including] varying attitudes black queer writers have toward cruising and intimacy [and] falling behind at work or in life, because of certain sexual pursuits.”

In 2022, Callender <a href="https://read.dukeupress.edu/qui-parle/article/31/1/67/314953/The-Devil-Finds-UseBlack-Queers-Do-The-Exorcist?guestAccessKey=cad74655-0591-48e0-b1a5-8566a7481c26" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an article</a> titled “The Devil Finds Use: Black Queers Do The Exorcist.” The piece explores a critique of The Exorcist (1973 film) in James Baldwin's essay “The Devil Finds Work.” In the abstract, Callender says,

“Much of black horror studies today is premised on the assumption that true horror, for the black audience, is found not in the paranormal but in the normal and the systemic. It is now conventional, for instance, for scholars to preface their research with a personal anecdote that swaps out a supernatural on-screen threat for a more pressing — and more horrifying — social one.”

He continued,

“By swapping out superficial horrors for social ones, black subjects today enter into the horror genre as its rivals, if not its foils. Instead of reeling from horror’s intended ‘dreadful pleasures,’ they experience a horror that arises more traumatically, more personally, and more incidentally as a result of their racial consciousness.”

The Brandeis Department of English <a href="https://www.brandeis.edu/english/faculty/podcast/callender-podcast.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published a two-part podcast</a> with Callender as a special guest. The host asked Callender, “[W]hat were you like as a high schooler?” Callender said,

“My high school experience was largely spent, I think, trying to figure out who I was…There was a lot of racism that was pretty worn on the surface of our school…I have a deep difficulty rethinking what those years meant to me, because the same teacher who deeply inspired and moved me did not teach me anything about my experience as a black person, or as a queer person. That was not part of his agenda, his curriculum.”

<a href="https://scholarworks.brandeis.edu/esploro/profile/anita_hannig/overview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anita Hannig</a> is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Brandeis University. She teaches courses in the departments of Anthropology, Health, Science, Society, and Policy, as well as Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies.

Hannig’s faculty profile says she specializes in “socio-cultural and medical anthropology; anthropology of death and dying; anthropology of religion, gender and the body; and medical assistance in dying.” In 2015, she “launched a long-term, ethnographic research project on medical aid-in-dying in the United States. This project asked how assisted dying is transforming the ways Americans die.”

On July 6, 2022, Hannig wrote an op-ed titled “‘<a href="https://www.brandeis.edu/now/2022/july/assisted-dying-hannig.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Assisted suicide’ deserves a different name. Here’s why</a>” in which she offers expert insight into an emerging industry that allows physicians to kill patients legally. In the article, Hannig cited a statistic that says “more than 20% of Americans already live in a state with access to medically assisted death.”

Hannig continued,

“Despite this rapidly changing legal climate, the language for describing this new way to die remains surprisingly antiquated. The term that continues to dominate media coverage on the issue is ‘assisted suicide.’ The American Medical Associate uses the term ‘physician-assisted suicide.’”

“As a cultural anthropologist, I know that how we name something determines how we think about it. Until just recently, the primary term in the English language for the purposeful, voluntary death of oneself was ‘suicide.’ Besides martyrdom or sacrifice, there was no other way to refer to an intentional self-death.”

“Assisted suicide” is not a new way to die, as Hannig claimed. In 2011, a notorious suicide physician named Dr. Jack Kevorkian passed away. During his 50 years of medical practice, Kevorkian — known as “Dr. Death” — killed more than 100 terminally-ill patients and was eventually convicted of second-degree murder. Britannica says, he lobbied for medical experiments on death-row inmates and advocated for establishing suicide clinics.

In her book “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Day-Die-Untold-Assisted-America/dp/1728244919/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1EBE8BKOSTN2L&amp;keywords=the+day+i+die+anita+hannig&amp;qid=1670948560&amp;sprefix=the+day+i+die%2Caps%2C132&amp;sr=8-1&amp;asin=1728244919&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Day I Die</a>,” Hannig includes a Q &amp; A in the About the Author section. When asked how she became involved in assisted suicides, she said, “I actually fell into this subject by accident. I was showing How to Die in Oregon (the best documentary on assisted dying, I think) in one of my anthropology classes at Brandeis, and I became immediately hooked.” 

Hannig’s book also provides assisted suicide websites that help facilitate conversations and offers tools to assist patients and families plan for premature death.
