Ms. <a href="https://www.etown.edu/offices/diversity/staff.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nichole Gonzalez</a> serves as the Dean of Students and Executive Director for the College for Diversity, Equity, and Belonging, as well as the Title IX Coordinator for <a href="https://www.etown.edu/index.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elizabethtown College</a> in Pennsylvania.
On September 23rd, 2021, Ms. Gonzalez and other Elizabethtown College administrators requested to meet with the college’s TPUSA chapter president—Alexander Russo—regarding an upcoming event on September 27th. The chapter was set to host TPUSA Ambassador, Mr. Joe Basrawi, who planned to speak about Critical Race Theory in academia.
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”.
In the meeting on the 23rd, Ms. Gonzalez informed Russo and other members present that the event would be canceled. Chapter members that have spoken with and provided corresponding emails to the Professor Watchlist Team have confirmed that Dr.Gonzalez canceled the event. She reportedly described Mr. Basrawi as “intentionally disruptive” and that his speech would be harmful to the campus due to the fact that he is not officially a “Critical Race Theorist.” Ms. Gonzalez stated that the college did not have time to put protections in place for marginalized groups and allowing the event to proceed would only further marginalize Elizabethtown’s minority students.
During the same meeting, Ms. Gonzalez allegedly pressured the chapter to disband and form a new group at the college. She stated that a conservative group aside from Turning Point USA would help facilitate a better community on campus.
As Mr. <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeBasrawi/status/1441401107809325063" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Basrawi has pointed out on Twitter</a>, Elizabethtown will be sponsoring a series of racially derogatory events during the fall semester, titled, the “Forum on White Supremacy and Global Colonization.” One training that will be <a href="https://etown.edu/centers/global/calendar.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hosted on October 12th, 21th, and November 2nd is titled, “Mediocre + Multimedia Content.*&#8221;</a>
Upon completion of the training, participants will receive a copy of the book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mediocre-Dangerous-Legacy-White-America/dp/1580059511" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America”.</a> The book endorses a “new white male identity” to counteract “the devastating consequences of white male supremacy on women, people of color, and white men themselves.” The training is described as a “space for people who identify as people of color,” and bars white people from attending.

When Russo highlighted the divisive nature of this and other events during the meeting, Ms. Gonzalez indicated her enthusiastic support for each one.
In a statement provided to the Professor Watchlist team, Mr. Baswari wrote, “It’s appalling to see that this is happening on American campuses these days. Gonzalez should be ashamed of herself being part of the problem of spreading tyranny on college campuses across the nation.”
In a separate statement provided to the Professor Watchlist team, Alexander Russo wrote, “I have been on this campus for almost 3 and a half years.

Now I am ashamed at the school I see before me that actively attempts to indoctrinate students and makes every attempt to divide us on race, COVID-19, and anything else they can.

<a href="https://sais.jhu.edu/users/ymounk1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yascha Mounk</a> is a Professor of Practice of International Affairs at Johns Hopkins University (JHU). Mounk’s faculty profile says he is “a political scientist known for his work on the rise of populism and the crisis of liberal democracy.”
Mounk was outspoken on Twitter after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack against Israel. Mounk wrote that Israel “has every right to defend itself” but that their response constituted “moral error” when Palestinians become casualties. However, Mounk did not acknowledge <a href="https://stratcomcoe.org/cuploads/pfiles/hamas_human_shields.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas’ use of human shields as a war tactic</a>. The militant group often stores its arsenal inside civilian structures (e.g. schools, hospitals, and mosques).
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Hamas murdered over 1,400 people in an indescribably sadistic manner.
Its leaders have made it very clear that they will continue to murder Israeli civilians if given the chance.
Israel has every right to defend itself.
But that is all the more reason for Israel to operate in…

According to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2024/02/05/atlantic-yascha-mounk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a>, Mounk said, “I am aware of the horrendous allegations against me.

JHU has not publicly stated whether Mounk will remain in his faculty position. As of publication, <a href="https://sais.jhu.edu/users/ymounk1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his profile</a> does not show him on leave from the college.

Dr. Allyn Walker is an openly transgender —preferred pronouns they/them—a postdoctoral fellow at the <a href="https://publichealth.jhu.edu/">Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health</a>. In June of 2021, Dr. Walker <a href="https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520306363/a-long-dark-shadow">wrote a book titled</a>, A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity.

<img class="size-full wp-image-1773 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-15-at-11.31.39-AM.png" alt="" width="466" height="222" />

The book, which Dr. Walker describes as interview-based research, discusses non-offending pedophiles (or Minor-Attracted Persons, as Dr. Walker calls them). According to Dr. Walker, the book highlights people who are attracted to minors who don’t don’t commit violent crimes in order to challenge the “widespread assumption that those who are ‘preferentially attracted to minors’ are always predators and sex offenders.” The book details how those who don’t commit violent crimes against children navigate their feelings and attraction to minors.

On November 11, 2021<a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1458985538334068740?s=21" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> a series of videos on Twitter of Dr. Walker came to light</a>. In these videos, Dr. Walker tries to normalize the term “Minor-Attracted Person” (MAP) and destigmatize pedophilia. In the video, Dr. Walker claims that it is important to call a group by a name in which they want to be called. Dr. Walker states that groups are advocating for MAP as their name because it’s less stigmatized than the term pedophile, and they are doing nothing wrong if they aren’t committing violent crimes against children. Dr. Walker goes on to say that who a person is attracted to (in this case children) isn’t indicative of the morality of that person or that attraction. The video series can be viewed below:

https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1458985538334068740?s=21

After the video received a significant amount of backlash, <a href="https://www.wtkr.com/news/odu-releases-statement-after-assistant-professor-gives-controversial-interview-defending-people-attracted-to-children">Old Dominion University—Dr. Walker’s employer at the time—released a statement</a>, asserting that, as an academic community, it’s vital to be “willing to consider scientific and other empirical data that may involve controversial issues and perspectives.” They went on to claim that they don’t endorse or promote any crimes against children or any form of criminal activity.

Old Dominion University would later announce that Dr. Allyn Walker would <a href="https://www.odu.edu/news/2021/11/a_statement_from_old_dominion_university#.Yn343qjMI2w">resign at the expiration of his contract</a> in May 2022.

In a series of tweets, the center praised Dr. Walker for his expertise and “comprehensive public health approach” in child sexual abuse prevention.

The open letter—drafted two weeks after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack against Israel—starts by acknowledging the loss of life on both sides of the conflict. However, the statement of solidarity with Gaza goes on to say:
“...Palestinians in Gaza are being subjected to a draconian collective punishment. We condemn the horrific ongoing violence inflicted on the Palestinian people, and we urgently call for an end to the Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip. The risk of genocide is real.”

<a href="https://www.jgillpeterson.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jules Gill-Peterson</a> is an Associate Professor of History at <a href="https://www.jhu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Johns Hopkins University</a>. He has referred to the gender binary as “junk science” and advocated for allowing children to transition at any age.

In his substack—<a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/archive?sort=new" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sad Brown Girl</a>—Peterson attacks conservatives as transphobic, denies there can be only two genders, and documents his life as a transwoman and activist. In one article, titled “The Cis State,” he claims the <a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/the-cis-state" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gender binary never existed historically in the medical community</a>. Rather, politicians and psychologists invented the concept 70 years ago in a nefarious attempt to control people.

“...[S]ex did not become cis until the invention of the concept of gender in the mid-twentieth century. Gender was invented by psychologists to bring order to the collapse of the sex binary in science and medicine.”  

During an interview with Scientific American, <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/video/how-junk-science-is-being-used-against-trans-kids2/#Echobox=1649463388" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peterson claims the idea of a gender binary is still weaponized by present-day scientists against trans people.</a> After being introduced by the host as a “science historian,” he again states that scientists had no idea what determined sex or gender until the mid-20th century.

Further on, Peterson asserts there is no consensus on what determines whether someone is male or female. He then compares any scientific attempts to do so with the “junk science” of the eugenics movement and inflicting harm on trans people.

The full interview may be viewed below:

<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GOIWyP5uqgM" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

Peterson often addresses issues surrounding transgender children and berates critics who challenge that children can transition at a young age. On his <a href="https://twitter.com/gp_jls" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal Twitter account</a>, Peterson urges his followers to “champion” trans children, and even “to want there to be trans kids in the world.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
South Dakota has spent SEVEN YEARS working to pass this anti-trans bill. Trans people have had to organize against it for seven years—and now it passes. Chase is right, everyone needs to champion trans kids in progressive coalition.

I believe more than ever that the way to end a child-hating culture where everyone is invested in children suffering is to learn to want there to be trans kids in this world.

an underrated problem in the left’s neoliberal retreat from family abolition (shoutout again to <a href="https://twitter.com/reproutopia?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@reproutopia</a>) is that trans kids are left with a pitifully anemic option for care. the...family? we except the family to ideally care for trans kids? based on what evidence?!

Peterson claims that <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/163113/behind-gop-strategy-outlaw-trans-youth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">it’s false to “presume” that trans kids will be cared for by their families</a>. His comments appeared in an interview with The New Republic, where he depicted parents as an impediment to trans children. He attacks white women as segregationists who weaponize their status as mothers to fuel anti-trans legislation. “The figure of the mom is hanging over everything,” she states.

In a separate substack article, <a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/we-the-abuser-state" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he further claims that “parental rights” are inhibiting minors from making fully autonomous decisions about their gender</a>.

“The slogan of ‘parental rights” is at the root of the fantasy that children are quasi-property, not people.”

Conservatives who object to transitioning children are <a href="https://thenewinquiry.com/from-gender-critical-to-qanon-anti-trans-politics-and-the-laundering-of-conspiracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">branded as QAnon-style conspiracy theorists</a> who are aiming to construct an “<a href="https://jewishcurrents.org/the-anti-trans-lobbys-real-agenda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authoritarian Christian ethnostate.</a>”

Much of this ire is directed toward author Abigail Shrier author of, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Irreversible-Damage-Transgender-Seducing-Daughters/dp/1684510317" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Irreversible Damage.”</a> The book examines the exponential increase in rates of gender dysphoria among teenagers—of which Shrier attributes to <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/06/27/how-peer-contagion-plays-into-the-rise-of-teens-transitioning/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“peer contagion”</a>—and the negative, <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">long-term health effects on teens who undergo gender transitions</a>.

Reacting to a Senate testimony delivered by Shrier on trans children, Peterson <a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/abigail-shrier-goes-to-washington" target="_blank" rel="noopener">labels her as a “TERF”</a> (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist) who is unqualified to speak on trans issues, in part because Shrier is not transgender herself. She accuses Shrier of flirting with white supremacy and peddling “pedophilic fantasies.”

“I invite you to join me in standing against the extreme sexual harassment, pedophilic fantasies, and torturous sadism of TERF and anti-trans rhetoric peddled by people like Shrier, backed up by an army of internet trolls and well-funded cultural tastemakers getting rich off pretending they are humiliated and canceled.“

Peterson is also the author of “History of the Transgender Child,” which maintains that <a href="https://history.jhu.edu/faculty-books/histories-of-the-transgender-child/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transgender children have been prevalent and well-documented over the last century</a>. He further serves as the General Editor of <a href="https://www.dukeupress.edu/tsq-transgender-studies-quarterly">Transgender Studies Quarterly</a>, of which the next issue will feature “Trans Marxist” authors and perspectives.

<a href="https://krieger.jhu.edu/africana/directory/shani-mott/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shani Mott</a> is a Lecturer of Africana Studies at Johns Hopkins University (JHU). Her research interests “address how mid-twentieth century writers of both fiction and non-fiction strategically deployed racial language in American popular culture.”

Mott’s university profile also mentions a manuscript titled, “Saving the Soul of the Great Republic: Imagining Race and Writing Democracy.” According to the description, the book “argues that authors writing during the inter- and postwar years of the twentieth century relied on ‘literary racial transvestism,’ a practice wherein black authors wrote novels with predominantly white characters and [vice versa].”

<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/home-appraiser-countersues-professors-who-accused-him-of-racism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a> featured Mott and her husband <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nathanconnolly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nathan Connolly</a> (also a JHU professor) in the article, “Home appraiser countersues professors who accused him of racism.” The Fix said the couple filed a lawsuit alleging that a white appraiser valued their home differently after the couple removed evidence that would indicate their ethnicity.

Their <a href="https://wp-orep-cdn.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/30175948/2020_Valuations_Maryland_complaint_70.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit claims</a> the appraiser “dramatically undervalu[ed] their home in an appraisal because of their race and their home’s location adjacent to a black census block, notwithstanding that it is also located within Homeland, an affluent, mostly white neighborhood.” When the couple’s white friend posed at the homeowner, the appraisal allegedly went from $472,000 to $750,000.

The College Fix said the countersuit mentions a home in the same neighborhood that sold within a month of Mott’s. The same company appraised the home for $7,000 less than the purchase price. Further, Mott and her husband did not provide their appraiser with documentation of any additional estimates showing a higher home value.

Mott and her husband appeared on ABC Live News to tell their side of the story:

<a href="https://sais.jhu.edu/users/ymounk1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yascha Mounk</a> is a Professor of Practice of International Affairs at Johns Hopkins University (JHU). Mounk’s faculty profile says he is “a political scientist known for his work on the rise of populism and the crisis of liberal democracy.”

Mounk was outspoken on Twitter after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack against Israel. Mounk wrote that Israel “has every right to defend itself” but that their response constituted “moral error” when Palestinians become casualties. However, Mounk did not acknowledge <a href="https://stratcomcoe.org/cuploads/pfiles/hamas_human_shields.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas’ use of human shields as a war tactic</a>. The militant group often stores its arsenal inside civilian structures (e.g. schools, hospitals, and mosques).
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Hamas murdered over 1,400 people in an indescribably sadistic manner.

Its leaders have made it very clear that they will continue to murder Israeli civilians if given the chance.

Israel has every right to defend itself.

But that is all the more reason for Israel to operate in…
— Yascha Mounk (@Yascha_Mounk) <a href="https://twitter.com/Yascha_Mounk/status/1719768116756963781?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 1, 2023</a></blockquote>

According to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2024/02/05/atlantic-yascha-mounk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a>, Mounk said, “I am aware of the horrendous allegations against me. It is categorically untrue.” The Post also referred to <a href="https://libertiesjournal.com/articles/after-rape-a-guide-for-the-tormented/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an essay</a> published by the victim that said, “When the shrieking stops … you will reach the phase at which all you can think and talk about is the rape.”

JHU has not publicly stated whether Mounk will remain in his faculty position. As of publication, <a href="https://sais.jhu.edu/users/ymounk1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his profile</a> does not show him on leave from the college.

<a href="https://www.middlebury.edu/college/people/william-nash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">William Nash</a> is a Professor of American Studies and English at Middlebury College in Vermont. Nash’s faculty biography states that his current research “focuses on historical and contemporary representations of abolitionism and enslavement.” 

His university profile contains a list of courses and descriptions include but are not limited to:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Black Freedom Struggles—This course explores racial tensions of the present moment and situates them in the historical context of the ongoing struggles of black freedom. Topics discussed may include black reparations, abolitionism, mass incarceration, the Black Lives Matter movement and the Civil Rights Movement.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Livin’ for the City—In this course, we will engage the idea of the ‘ghetto’ as constructed through literature, film, music and television…consider its impact on urban African American space…”</li>
</ul>
Nash is <a href="https://antiracism.middcreate.net/people/anti-racist-taskforce/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">listed</a> as a member of <a href="https://www.middlebury.edu/announcements/news/2022/05/working-become-anti-racist-institution" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Middlebury’s Anti-Racist Taskforce.</a> The taskforce <a href="https://midd.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=1b712b2d-9166-4e7d-9d5a-ad57013956f0&amp;start=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduction video</a> describes racism as “an explicit and highly sophisticated piece of technology.”

In August 2023, Nash <a href="https://www.wfae.org/arts-culture/2023-08-30/with-goodbye-mary-molly-tuttle-extends-country-musics-lineage-of-reproductive-rights-songs-to-the-post-roe-era" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an opinion editorial</a> titled, “With ‘Goodbye Mary,’ Molly Tuttle extends country music’s lineage of reproductive rights songs to the post-Roe era.” Nash writes:
“Jason Aldean’s song ‘Try That in a Small Town’ extols small towns as bastions of conservative values standing up against a litany of violent big-city bogeyman…As an American Studies professor who teaches courses on country music, I am interested in the genre’s competing ‘liberal’ lineage.”
He continued:
“Perhaps the most striking of the new ‘abortion songs’ comes from acoustic guitar wizard Molly Tuttle…With ‘Goodbye Mary’...Tuttle creates an intimate portrait of a woman’s struggle for bodily autonomy that captures the potential terrors of a post-Roe America.”
The <a href="https://www.middlebury.edu/college/people/william-nash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">description</a> of Nash’s “Cultural Work Country Music” course says, “Arguably, aversion to American country music often tracks with class- and race-based assumptions about makers and consumers of this genre…”

<a href="https://www.middlebury.edu/college/people/tara-affolter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tara Affolter</a> is an Associate Professor of Education Studies and the Faculty Director of Equity, Justice &amp; Inclusion at Middlebury College. According to her university profile, Affolter “has over 15 years of experience teaching high school English and theatre while working for racial and social justice within the public schools…” She also serves in Middlebury’s Academic Affairs, “Black Studies,” and Education Studies departments.

In the Fall of 2022, she taught a course titled “Teaching the 1619 Project” with the following description:
“In this course, we will explore various ways to approach teaching The 1619 Project and examine how the project pushes against miseducation within the U.S. education systems. We will also delve into various states’ bans against teaching the 1619 Project and scrutinize how CRT became wrapped in these bans.”
Affolter is the author of several books including “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Through-Fog-Urban-Education-Studies-ebook/dp/B07QSC9VX6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=BU03JAVU00JF&amp;keywords=through+the+fog%3A+towards+inclusive+anti-racist+teaching&amp;qid=1698171833&amp;sprefix=through+the+fog+towards+inclusive+anti-racist+teaching%2Caps%2C112&amp;sr=8-1&amp;asin=B07QSC9VX6&amp;revisionId=cd77f78c&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Through the Fog: Towards Inclusive Anti-Racist Teaching</a>,” where she discussed topics such as “The Story of Race and the Creation of the White World,” “White Privilege” and “White Teachers.”  In the introduction, she writes:
“This book rests on the premise that as a nation, the United States is far from post-racial. Critical race theorists put this best in arguing that racism is endemic in the United States and shapes all of our institutions…
“The disproportionate emphasis on communities of color, the rhetoric of deficit that frames these communities as lacking and parents as not caring, the often-dysfunctional relationship between white educations and students of color, all help to illustrate the ways in which race continues to disrupt meaningful education for all students.”

Affolter was featured in <a href="https://www.middleburycampus.com/article/2022/11/freedom-dreaming-imagines-an-anti-racist-middlebury-community" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Middlebury Campus</a> after the production of her stage play “Freedom Dreaming: Envisioning an Antiracist Middlebury.” The Middldlebury said, “Onstage, seven actors dressed in their everyday outfits as they read and acted out lines sewn together from interviews conducted with predominantly BIPOC [black, indigenous, people of color] students on campus.”

Affolter also partnered with Middlebury’s Student Government Association to lead a <a href="https://www.middleburycampus.com/article/2023/01/panel-discusses-implications-of-supreme-court-decision-on-affirmative-action-for-college-community" target="_blank" rel="noopener">research panel</a> to answer the question, “What would ending affirmative action mean for Middlebury.” Affolter is quoted saying that “student body diversity promotes cross-racial understanding and reduces prejudice, overall leading to more positive interethnic attitudes by the end of college.”

Sanchez teaches a course titled “Documentaries, Social Justice” and another course titled “Race, Rhetoric, and Protest.” The latter is described as a “study [of] the theoretical and rhetorical underpinnings of racial protest in America…from bus boycotts to Black Power protests…”

He writes in the introduction:
“The ‘purity in Grand Saline is within the race of its people, or rather, the whiteness of the town. I define the term whiteness here as ‘a socially constructed category that is normalized within a system of privilege so that it is taken for granted by those who benefit from it…’”
Later in the book he states:
“The town preserves its white culture not out of necessity for life but out of fear of a white cultural death, an unfounded fear that has existed within white communities for centuries.”

<a href="https://www.middlebury.edu/institute/search?query=Kriner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew Kriner</a> is Managing Director of the Accelerationism Research Consortium (ARC), as well as the Director of Strategy, Partnerships and Intelligence at Middlebury’s Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism (CTEC). (Note: as of publication, Kriner's faculty profile has been deleted).

In light of a gesture made by Elon Musk during the 47th Presidential Inauguration, Kriner wrote an <a href="https://theconversation.com/musks-inauguration-salute-is-not-the-only-apparent-fascist-signal-from-trumps-administration-248517">article</a> alleging a long-time connection between Nazism and conservatives in American politics. The title of the article is “Musk’s inauguration salute is not the only apparent fascist signal from Trump’s administration.”

Kriner wrote: 

“As a <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=e8ecZu8AAAAJ&amp;hl=en&amp;oi=ao" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scholar of far-right extremism</a>, I regularly review instances of coded fascist symbols and other right-wing messages being sent by public figures and their supporters, some more obvious than others.”

Kriner claimed the stage at the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference was shaped in the fashion of an odal rune, which he describes as “an ancient pagan symbol coopted by Germany’s Nazi regime and worn prominently during World War II on the uniforms of the brutal <a href="https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/waffen-ss" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Waffen SS</a> units.”

In 2021, MyPillow Founder Mike Lindell discounted a pillow from $49.88 to $14.88, which, according to Kriner, is allegedly “aligned with the 14-word white supremacist slogan and the numerical reference ‘88’ that white supremacists use to mean ‘Heil Hitler’ because H is the eighth letter of the alphabet.”

At the article’s conclusion, Kriner claims these alleged coincidences of “fascism” and fascist symbolism with the American right-wing have a direct connection to Nazi Germany: 

“But as the old saying goes, ‘where there’s smoke there’s fire’ – and in this case the smoke is probably closer to a book-burning bonfire in Berlin than a tiki torch carried in Charlottesville.”

In a 2023 <a href="https://reason.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/DoevMiddleburyComplaint.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a>, Kriner, among other defendants ( several of whom worked with Middlebury College), was accused of labor trafficking and not compensating an independent contractor in the same field of research (terrorism studies) as Kriner. The plaintiff, called Jane Doe in the lawsuit, sued the defendants on 11 counts.  

The plaintiff was initially asked to help Kriner with research in accelerationism:

“Defendant Matthew Kriner introduced himself to Doe on social media. He described himself as a private sector analyst who worked on similar topics. He was interested to learn more about accelerationism because  of her singular expertise on the subject matter…Kriner also  increasingly needed non-public information into her proprietary research to pitch the threat to high-level government officials. Kriner told Doe it ‘would be good to get more granularity from you on it all if you can.’”

In several research articles written by Kriner and defendants, Doe was not given credit or pay for her contributions and involvement in their scholarly work. Yet, she was continually asked for research assistance on following projects, which led to the same outcome for her. Over time, this treatment from the defendants allegedly led to the dilapidation of the plaintiff’s mental health. 

Toward the end of the complaint, the following claim is made: 

“Doe will never be able to return to the workplace or attain a doctorate as she intended due to the severe psychological injuries and enduring trauma caused by the Defendants.”

The case was <a href="http://portal-dc.tylertech.cloud/app/RegisterOfActions/#/A9FD50059C1B644BC03C64C2FF6F0570B090735330CC39DCD734F240CC06C74B23EE8F70682458011D8D106B0687D14A17F9A84303016DAFE983B2CC10EFA67BE210A368F7474E9F156C97AB7474C6EB/anon/portalembed">closed</a> several times despite the plaintiff’s repeated attempts to reopen it. The latest attempt was made in May of 2024, which was denied by Judge Todd E. Edelman.

<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 &#8211; 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.

&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.

&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.

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

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

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.”

<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;

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.

&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.

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”.

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 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.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/1903524" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jenny Irish</a> is a Professor of English at Arizona State University.

In a 2023 <a href="https://www.kjzz.org/2024-04-30/content-1878588-stephen-king-seen-just-horror-author-asu-professor-argues-hes-much-more" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with 91.5 KJZZ Phoenix, Irish discussed her thoughts on horror author Stephen King, whose books are currently being <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/stephen-king-florida-book-ban-viral-post-1947396" target="_blank" rel="noopener">removed from school libraries</a> in Florida. The KJZZ host asked Irish to comment on her “associations” with the King novel “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Carrie-Stephen-King/dp/1984898108/ref=asc_df_1984898108/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=692875362841&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=14364719003284224040&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9061155&amp;hvtargid=pla-2281435178818&amp;psc=1&amp;mcid=d9f4354e402c38979d3d64dbfc2a5893&amp;hvocijid=14364719003284224040-1984898108-&amp;hvexpln=73" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carrie</a>”—the story of a high school outcast with telekinetic powers who eventually murders her bullying classmates by setting the town on fire. 

Irish responded to the interviewer stating:
“‘Carrie’ is amazing in the fact that [it] was written 50 years ago, but there’s so much about it that feels pretty tragically contemporary. If Carrie White had had access to a decent sex ed class, the town of Chamberlain, Maine, would still be standing…[I]t’s not hard to think about that in the midst I feel of our current kind of sociopolitical moment, where there’s such an assault on bodily autonomy and considerations of the rights of people to define their own identity and their own bodies and their relationships to them.”
On August 30, 2024, Irish was featured in The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/u-s-hates-women-faces-future-of-cannibalism-forced-breeding-camps-asu-event/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> entitled “U.S. ‘hates women,’ faces future of cannibalism, ‘forced breeding campus’: ASU event.” In <a href="https://lincolncenter.asu.edu/wb-workshop-HATCH" target="_blank" rel="noopener">partnership</a> with ASU Professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angelalober" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angela Lober</a>, Irish <a href="https://asuevents.asu.edu/event/jenny-irishs-hatch-speculative-future-reproductive-rights?eventDate=2024-08-28&amp;id=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hosted an event</a> centered on releasing her new book “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Hatch/9sHtEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;printsec=frontcover">Hatch</a>,” a collection of prose poems exploring the future of the human race surviving through AI.

According to <a href="https://nupress.northwestern.edu/9780810146969/hatch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northwestern University Press</a>:
“The prose poems in Jenny Irish’s newest collection, Hatch, trace the consciousness of an artificial womb that must confront the role she has played in the continuation of the dying of the human species. This apocalyptic vision engages with the most pressing concerns of this contemporary sociopolitical moment: reproductive rights, climate crises, and mass extinction; gender and racial bias in healthcare technology…and the possibilities and dangers of artificial intelligence.”
In the following excerpt, Irish appears to describe an abortion from the artificial womb’s perspective.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack against Israel that left 1,200 people dead, several protests have erupted at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). 
During the September 2024 riot, UNC students staged a pro-Palestine “walkout” that resulted in several thousands of dollars in vandalism and property damage. According to <a href="https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/orange-county-news/disruption-vandalism-on-uncs-campus-after-walk-out-for-pro-palestinian-protests-officials/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one report</a>, nearly 150 people gathered to protest on the Wilson Library steps. Event promoters and sponsors were identified as the UNC Students for Justice for Palestine and TransparUNCy Graduate Students for the Liberation of Palestine.
Angry crowd members stormed into campus buildings yelling and disrupting classes and business operations. Protestors raised a Palestinian flag and used spray paint and permanent markers on the buildings. 
Additional protests and clashes with law enforcement include the following reports (available at the end of this post):

<a href="http://comm.unc.edu/faculty-and-staff/faculty/michael-s-waltman/">Dr. Michael Waltman</a>, a Professor of Communications at University of North Carolina, teaches a course on hate speech that blames conservatives for hate speech. His course description reads that it is designed “to expose students to the nature of hate in American life . . . [that] is sustained through the imposition of racist, sexist, and heterosexist ideologies."

Dr. <a href="https://asianstudies.unc.edu/people/faculty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dwayne Dixon</a> is a Professor in the <a href="https://asianstudies.unc.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies</a> at the  <a href="https://www.unc.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill</a>.

Dr. Dixon advocates for the use of violence and justifies the destruction of private property. Speaking to ABC News, he makes the <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-01-15/dwayne-dixon-takes-care-of-his-gun-in-his-workshop/9321726?nw=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"distinction” between destroying “inanimate objects" and attacking people after stating that the left uses violence in the cases of “resistance</a>.”

Arguing that neither would give up their property peacefully, he echoes the call for “active resistance” by Redneck Revolt to achieve liberation.

In the same lecture, Dr. Dixon decries various conservatives who were extended the opportunity to speak at colleges around the country. He equates universities' embrace of free speech to the facilitation of the rise of fascism in America. Dr. Dixon further derides the “politics of passivity” of those who embrace the merits of debating all ideas within a university, stating the moral high ground is “for those who wish to drown in blood.”

In an <a href="https://www.hourdetroit.com/education-schools/a-critical-race-theory-expert-on-how-something-benign-became-toxic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article for Hour Detroit</a>, Dr. Andrews accuses conservatives of “gaslighting” by being against critical race theory. Dr. Andrews alleges conservatives “cry CRT” any time an educator teaches something from America’s history that puts them in a “bad light,” even if it’s true. She goes on to insinuate that conservatives don’t want educators teaching black history at all.

Dr. Andrews has lectured all over the nation about critical race theory. In the video below from June 2021, she identifies as a critical race theorist:

In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOrgf3wTUbo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TED Talk given in 2014</a>, Dr. Andrews discussed racial inequity in the education system. She argues that the education system was founded in white supremacy,  making it nearly impossible for students of color to get ahead. She claims that students of color and poor students are already behind the curve before they even step foot into the classroom, and it’s unfair to expect the same levels of success for them compared to white students.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1723" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.44.57-AM.png" alt="" width="440" height="183" />

When Dr. Andrews isn’t teaching, lecturing, or writing publications, she often takes to Twitter to discuss CRT, racial equity, and anti-white rhetoric. Some examples are below:

https://twitter.com/DrDorindaCA/status/694285220351217664

https://twitter.com/DrDorindaCA/status/1062013677040132099

https://twitter.com/DrDorindaCA/status/1367512182443954178

Dr. Andrews is a critical race theorist who pushes anti-white rhetoric in the classroom. In her opinion, racism is so deeply embedded into our education system that students of color have no chance of getting ahead if critical race theory isn’t taught in the classroom. In her eyes, conservatives are only against critical race theory because they fear it paints them in a negative light.

Carla Pfeffer is an <a href="https://socialwork.msu.edu/directory/pfeffer-carla.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associate Professor of Social Work</a> and Director of the Consortium for Sexual and Gender Minority Health at Michigan State University.

Professor Pfeffer is outspoken about her pro-choice beliefs. She was quoted in an MSU Today article titled: <a href="https://msutoday.msu.edu/news/2022/Roe-V-Wade-decision-MSU-experts-discuss" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Roe v. Wade overturned: Michigan State University experts discuss.”</a> Pfeffer stated:
“Consistent governmental inaction in regard to protecting all children from poverty, gun violence, and police violence reveals the hypocrisy of legally restricting abortion. Rather than protecting children, banning abortion is about governmental power and control over marginalized bodies and crass political maneuvering to appease a conservative base.” 
She continued:
“In discussions about the overturn of Roe v. Wade, people who are lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and non-binary tend to be left out of the conversation.”
She finished her statement by claiming that members of the LGBTQ community “often face disproportionately higher rates of unintended and unwanted pregnancy” and that abortion access is “critical for ensuring physical and mental health.”

In September 2022, Pfeffer wrote an article for <a href="https://theconversation.com/transgender-men-and-nonbinary-people-are-asked-to-stop-testosterone-therapy-during-pregnancy-but-the-evidence-for-this-guidance-is-still-murky-187672" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Conversation</a> where she argued that transgender men and nonbinary people should not have to stop testosterone therapy while they are pregnant. Although many doctors told Pfeffer that there is “not enough or inconclusive research on supplemental testosterone during pregnancy,” Pfeffer argues that “testosterone therapy is often essential to the mental and physical health” of transgender people.

Pfeffer believes that “careful attention to the physical and mental health and well-being of trans and nonbinary people before, during and after pregnancy is long overdue in medicine” and that:
“Instead of approaching testosterone therapy during pregnancy as a yes/no question or a one-size-fits-all standard, investigating how various dosages of testosterone may affect all stages of pregnancy and chestfeeding could lead to better outcomes for both trans patients and their children.”

Dr. Melissa Fore is a <a href="https://jmc.msu.edu/about/directory/Fore.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Visiting Assistant Professor and Director of the James Madison College Reading and Writing Center</a> at Michigan State University. Dr. Fore teaches in the first-year writing program and is a core faculty member MSU’s Center for Gender in a Global Context.

Dr. Fore’s professor biography states:
“Her writing classroom explores how concepts of race, class, gender, and sexuality are culturally constructed through social, political, and economic values. She asks students to consider how the cycles of socialization have influenced their understanding of identity and community in order to engage in writing assignments that examine structural racism, the affordable housing crisis, and challenging gender norms.” 
In April 2019, <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=12117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a> reported that Professor Fore canceled class to allow her students to attend a conference on race and socialism. The James Madison College Office of Diversity Programming described the event as “fundamentally designed to examine systems of power and privilege in the United States, especially the impact of these ‘systems’ on communities of color.”

Dr. Fore is a facilitator for <a href="https://www.awaretogether.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AWARE (Advancing White Anti-Racist Education) Together.</a> The AWARE Together website states that the organization “offers white anti-racist education programs for groups and associations that are committed to seeing the realities of racism and taking anti-racist action.” Further, the <a href="https://www.awaretogether.org/purpose.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">‘Purpose’ page</a> states: “White people benefit from the social and economic systems that perpetuate racism. Ending the terror and injustice of white supremacy can only be accomplished if white people work to be anti-racist.”

Professor Fore’s <a href="https://www.awaretogether.org/facilitators.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">facilitator biography</a> states:
“In examining her own identity as a white woman, Melissa came to see how identity formation is linked to power and privilege, and how dismantling white supremacy is central to social, political, and economic justice.” 
Dr. Fore co-founded the Marble Elementary School Equity Team and is the Co-Chair of the <a href="https://elps.us/our-district/board-of-education/committees/reproductive-health-advisory-committee/sex-education-advisory-board-members/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">East Lansing Sex Education Advisory Board.</a> The Sex Education Advisory Board has a document titled the <a href="https://elps.us/downloads/school_board_-_committee_documents/k-5_consent_toolkit_moash_1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">‘K-5 Consent Toolkit.’</a> The document is intended for Michigan educators, parents, caregivers, and students and includes standards and curriculum for elementary school students.

The document states that by the end of second grade, students should be able to: list medically accurate names for genitals, define gender, gender identity, and gender role stereotypes, and discuss the range of ways people express gender and how gender role stereotypes may limit behavior.

The document also provides links to <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IJ2hD7bECD1gkWoDND5s5sRYG37RYPRf/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggested lesson plans.</a> One of these lesson plans, titled “Understanding Our Bodies - The Basics,” tells students that “There are some body parts that mostly just girls have and some parts that mostly just boys have.”

Another lesson plan, titled “Pink, Blue and Purple,” instructs students on gender identity, stating: “You might feel like you are a boy, you might feel like you are a girl. You might feel like you’re a boy even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are ‘girl’ parts. You might feel like you’re a girl even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are ‘boy’ parts.”

<a href="https://poverty.umich.edu/research/faculty-experts/lisa-lapeyrouse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lisa Lapeyrouse</a> is an Associate Professor of Health Science and Administration at the University of Michigan. According to her university profile, her areas of expertise include “racial/ethnic disparities in mental health and health care access among Latino communities, including immigrant and border populations.” Lapeyrouse is also the principal investigator of “Beyond Rhetoric: Confronting and Combating Racism in Genesee County, Michigan.”

The <a href="https://www.beyondrhetoricmovement.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beyond Rhetoric Project</a> began in 2020 after Genesee County commissioners passed a <a href="https://gfhc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/GFHC-AntiRacismResolution.061520ks.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resolution</a> that formally recognized racism as a public health crisis. The project is led by Lapeyrouse and <a href="https://publichealth.msu.edu/flint-research/flint-public-health-research/kent-key-phd-mph#:~:text=Key%20is%20the%20Deputy%20Director,extension%20of%20his%20doctoral%20dissertation." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kent Key</a>, the executive deputy director of Community-Based Organization Partners and assistant professor in the Division of Public Health at Michigan State University.

Lapeyrouse stated:
“Racism has serious and harmful health repercussions for the community. But, if you’re not looking at racism as a systemic problem, then it becomes a lot easier to ignore. Even when people are willing to talk about racism, there often isn’t a clear understanding of systemic racism. There is a reluctance to acknowledge how we all participate in racist policies and practices.” 
The project also formed a community action council to establish a strategic plan to end racist policies and practices in Genesee County. <a href="https://news.umich.edu/beyond-rhetoric-offers-road-map-for-responding-to-racism-as-a-public-health-crisis/#:~:text=The%20Beyond%20Rhetoric%20project%2C%20which,as%20a%20public%20health%20crisis." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Council recommendations</a> included hiring more health care professionals of color, reforming school discipline policies, and making community services accessible to people with disabilities and people with limited English proficiency.

Lapeyrouse said she believes <a href="https://news.umflint.edu/2023/02/08/um-flint-professor-students-working-with-beyond-rhetoric-project-to-fight-racism-in-genesee-county/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anti-racism work</a> is more important now than ever, and she makes sure to instill that in her students.
“I see this move as acknowledgment by people making decisions that impact the health and wellbeing of everyone in our community that racism exists. We need policies in place that ensure equity. We can’t ignore what is right here in front of us.” 
Lapeyrouse has also been outspoken about her support for COVID vaccines. In July 2021, she tweeted:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

She <a href="https://news.umflint.edu/2021/08/25/a-neighbors-guide-to-the-covid-vaccine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">led a project</a> that created “A Neighbor’s Guide to the COVID Vaccine.” According to UM-Flint News, the “informational booklet was created with the goal of providing vaccine-hesitant residents in Flint with credible health information related to the COVID-19 vaccine, so they may feel empowered to make the best decision for their health.”

Lapeyrouse used one of her master’s level courses as a service-learning course that focused on this project. She adds:
“When students know the work they’re doing is for actual people, their effort and what they are able to accomplish is so much greater than what I see in my non-service learning courses. These types of classes are a tremendous amount of work, but the payoffs for both our students and community make it well worth it.”

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

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

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

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

<a href="https://linguistics.arizona.edu/user/noam-chomsky">Noam Chomsky</a> is a professor of Linguistics at the University of Arizona and, according to MIT, one of the most <a href="https://news.mit.edu/1992/citation-0415#:~:text=From%201972%20to%201992%2C%20Professor,in%20the%20Science%20Citation%20Index.">cited academics in human history</a>.
In an interview with C.J. Polychroniou, Chomsky <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/trump-in-the-white-house-an-interview-with-noam-chomsky/">states</a> that the Republican party is the “most dangerous organization in human history.” The New Yorker also reports Chomsky&#8217;s claims that <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/noam-chomsky-believes-trump-is-the-worst-criminal-in-human-history">Donald Trump is a worse criminal than Adolf Hitler</a>.
&nbsp;
Socialism
According to the New Criterion, Chomsky frequently <a href="https://newcriterion.com/issues/2003/5/the-hypocrisy-of-noam-chomsky">praised</a> the left-wing government of the Khmer Rouge and has publically disputed the credibility and existence of the Cambodian Genocide. Committed by the Khmer Rouge and its dictatorial head Pol Pot, it is <a href="https://cla.umn.edu/chgs/holocaust-genocide-education/resource-guides/cambodia#:~:text=Lasting%20for%20four%20years%20(between,following%20the%20Cambodian%20Civil%20War.">estimated</a> that at least 1.5 and 3 million people died between 1976 and 1979. Despite <a href="https://gsp.yale.edu/case-studies/cambodian-genocide-program">detailed reports</a> of starvation and systematic executions, Chomsky denied that any widespread killings had taken place and accused reporters of repeating right-wing propaganda and sensationalizing their stories. Chomsky attributes the deaths to US imperialism and executions of subversive elements to the communist government
&nbsp;
Antisemitism
Chomsky publically defends individuals who engage in Holocaust denial. As documented in Robert F. Barskey’s book, “Noam Chomsky: A Life of Dissent,” Chomsky was a <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=RKUbyYPG4mcC&amp;pg=PA180&amp;lpg=PA180&amp;dq=Dr.+Faurisson+has+served+as+a+respected+professor+of+twentieth-century+French+literature+and+document+criticism+for+over+four+years+at+the+University+of+Lyon+2+in+France.+Since+1974+he+has+been+conducting+extensive+independent+historical+research+into+the+%22Holocaust%22+question.+Since+he+began+making+his+findings+public,+Professor+Faurisson+has+been+subject+to+a+vicious+campaign+of+harassment,+intimidation,+slander,+and+physical+violence+in+a+crude+attempt+to+silence+him.+Fearful+officials+have+even+tried+to+stop+him+from+further+research+by+denying+him+access+to+public+libraries+and+archives.&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=_HNm25wsQ8&amp;sig=ACfU3U1uUzJGs8SMymEsOD-QnXHD08zr8A&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiT1NHe6IPvAhXGpZ4KHfKoCqoQ6AEwAHoECAMQAw#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false">signatory</a> to a petition in defense of the academic freedom of prominent Holocaust denier Robert Faurisson. <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=_TIrDwAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA59&amp;lpg=PA59&amp;dq=noam+chomsky+I+see+no+anti-Semitic+implications+in+denial+of+the+existence+of+gas+chambers,+or+even+denial+of+the+Holocaust&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=-ebdpQUkkR&amp;sig=ACfU3U0wrRkRwN-uGLqdPow6gCDxXd56ug&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiS-bPWuOXuAhWEBKYKHY_pAYI4FBDoATAAegQIBhAC#v=onepage&amp;q=noam%20chomsky%20I%20see%20no%20anti-Semitic%20implications%20in%20denial%20of%20the%20existence%20of%20gas%20chambers%2C%20or%20even%20denial%20of%20the%20Holocaust&amp;f=false">Stating</a> that he sees nothing antisemitic about Faurisson&#8217;s work, Chomsky would even author the forward to Faurisson&#8217;s next book.

September 11 Attacks
Speaking at MIT following the aftermath of the <a href="https://twitter.com/TPUSA/status/1171500948964818944">September 11 terrorist attacks</a> against the United States, Chomsky <a href="http://tech.mit.edu/V121/N52/52chomsky.52n.html">asserted</a> that 9/11 represented, “the guns having been directed the other way.” The Tech, MIT’s oldest newspaper, also reports Chomsky blaming US citizens for the attacks on 9/11, and that Osama bin Laden, leader of al Qaeda, might be innocent.

Chomsky also <a href="https://www.salon.com/2001/09/26/treason_2/">stated</a> that the US casualties were far less devastating than the effects of US foreign policy around the world. Chomsky <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/noam-chomsky/">stated</a> that the United States was attempting to murder “3-4 million people” in Afganistan and that the strike against Osama bin Laden was “some sort of silent genocide.”
In an article published in 2020, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/how-many-people-died-911-thousands-perishing-september-11-related-illnesses-1531058">Newsweek found that</a> “In New York, 2,750 people were killed, at the Pentagon 184 died, and a further 40 people were killed in Pennsylvania.” Newsweek also reported that 400 first responders were killed and that 18,000 survivors have been diagnosed with “9/11-related cancer.”

University of Arizona Professor Harris Kornstein — with a drag persona named Lil’ Miss Hot Mess — expanded his child sex education advocacy into the realm of antisemitism when he led children to chant “Free Palestine” during a “queer storytime” event.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Amherst, MA - Valley Families for Palestine puts on ‘Queer Storytime for Palestine’ in which toddlers are recorded chanting “Free Palestine”.
The harsh reality? Members of the LGBTQ+ community are often murdered in Gaza and other Palestinian areas such as Ramallah. <a href="https://t.co/b8qwU4ycR3">pic.twitter.com/b8qwU4ycR3</a>

— StopAntisemitism (@StopAntisemites) <a href="https://twitter.com/StopAntisemites/status/1783270561713365345?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 24, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

By all news accounts, Kornstein appears unaware that his right to dress in drag would not be protected in most Middle Eastern territories. In particular, queer movements and people are <a href="https://reason.com/2023/10/27/the-contradictions-of-queers-for-palestine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">persecuted</a> — even to the point of <a href="https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-720308" target="_blank" rel="noopener">death</a> — in Palestine, and same-sex relationships are <a href="https://www.humandignitytrust.org/country-profile/palestine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outlawed</a> in Gaza. 

<a href="https://azfreenews.com/2024/04/university-of-arizona-drag-queen-professor-pushes-children-to-support-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AZ Free News</a> stated, “Kornstein encouraged a crowd of children to chant ‘Free Palestine!’ as a response to: ‘If you’re a drag queen and you know it’ … Palestinians don’t tolerate LGBTQ+ individuals, especially Hamas. Anyone involved in those lifestyles in the area risks persecution and violence at minimum, even death.”

<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/drag-queen-orders-children-chant-free-palestine-during-queer-story-hour-massachusetts-arts-center" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News said</a>, “The event included ‘dancing, celebrating Palestine culture, learning about queer heroes doing arts and crafts’ … Event profits were donated to alQaws, a Palestinian organization ‘working for queer liberation’ … The event and video sparked harsh backlash online, with many pointing out that LGBTQ people are not usually treated with respect in Gaza or other Palestinian areas.”

Kornstein posted about the event on his <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lilmisshotmess/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> account.

Campus Reform featured Harris Kornstein/Lil Miss Hot Mess in an article titled, “<a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=21548" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Arizona prof performs drag for kids</a>.” 

The Reform said, “[Kornstein] performed drag for children at Cheer up Charlies, a Texas gay bar…The performance was hosted by drag queen Brigette Bandit and <a href="https://www.dragstoryhour.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Drag Story Hour</a>, an organization that regularly hosts drag queen ‘storytellers’ that use ‘the art of drag to read books to kids in libraries, schools, and bookstores.’”

Campus Reform <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=21548" target="_blank" rel="noopener">also stated</a> that Kornstein's "history with child drag shows has previously been the subject of criticism for several children’s books he’s written..." On his <a href="https://www.lilmisshotmess.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alter-ego's website</a>, Kornstein is donned in drag while posing with children:

<a href="https://pah.arizona.edu/people/harris-kornstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harris Kornstein</a> is an Assistant Professor for the Institute for LGBTQ+ Studies at the University of Arizona. 

On his <a href="https://www.harriskornstein.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, Kornstein says that “By night, I'm a <a href="https://www.lilmisshotmess.com/">drag queen</a>, and have performed at venues ranging from San Francisco's legendary <a href="https://www.studsf.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stud bar</a> to SFMOMA, and Stanford University to <a href="https://perezhilton.com/katy-perry-drag-queens-deny-migos-drama-saturday-night-live/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saturday Night Live</a>.” When in drag, Kornstein goes by the drag name of “Lil Miss Hot Mess.”

Kornstein has written children's storybooks about drag queens. One of these books (published in 2020) is titled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hips-Drag-Queen-Go-Swish-ebook/dp/B07XDNJB14" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish.”</a> The book’s description states:
“Playing off "The Wheels on the Bus," this nursery rhyme book from a founder of Drag Queen Story Hour is a fun, freewheeling celebration of being your most fabulous self.
"The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish encourages readers to boldly be exactly who they are. Written by a founding member of the nationally recognized Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH), this playful picture book offers a quirky twist on a classic nursery rhyme by illustrating all of the ways to "work it". The story plays off "The Wheels on the Bus" as it follows a drag queen who performs her routine in front of an awestruck audience. A fun frenzy of fierceness, this book will appeal to readers of all ages.”

In 2022, Kornstein also published a similar-themed book titled <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Youre-Drag-Queen-You-Know/dp/0762475331" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“If You're a Drag Queen and You Know It.”</a> The book’s description states the following:
“Strike a pose. Blow a kiss. Mouth the words. A fun, sing-along book with a drag twist that encourage kids to embrace all the playfulness of drag culture written by a founding member of Drag Queen Story Hour."
“If you’re a drag queen and you know it, let it show by winking, shaking your bum, laughing real big, twirling around, and more! Join a cast of fabulous drag queens as you sing along to the tune of “If You’re Happy and You Know It” in this playful celebration of expressing your brightest and boldest self. A perfect companion to The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish written by a board member of Drag Queen Story Hour.”

In 2020, Kornstein and Professor Harper Keenan of the University of British Columbia wrote an article titled, <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/03626784.2020.1864621">“Drag pedagogy: The playful practice of queer imagination in early childhood.”</a> 

Kornstein and Keenan claim that, “To the unimaginative adult (which – sigh – describes most of us), it might seem that the world of drag and the world of children are impossibly distant from one another.”  

The authors also “propose that DQSH [Drag Queen Story Hour] offers a particular kind of queer framework – what we call drag pedagogy – for teaching and learning that extends beyond traditional approaches to LGBT curricular inclusion.”

Concerning traditional gender roles and sexuality, the authors state their opposition in the following manner:
“In the USA, for example, many people learn that the most valued boy will be white, engage in rough-and-tumble play with other boys that will toughen him up and straighten him out, allowing him to mature into a man who wears a suit and tie, makes a lot of money, enters into a sexually monogamous marriage with a woman, buys a home, and has enough but not too many children. In other words, a script that may begin with gender shapes how individuals are taught to understand their expected roles in society in ways that extend far beyond gender alone. Almost no one can fully conform to the script of gender all of the time.”
The authors think that “Drag Queen Story Hour” (DQSH) “publicly positions its impact in “help[ing] children develop empathy, learn about gender diversity and difference, and tap into their own creativity.”

They also expounded on what they claim is the definition of a drag queen, along with their hopes for the future of DQSH.
 “As an art form, drag is all about bending and breaking the rules, and so its aims are totally different from a normative classroom. When a drag queen enters a (class)room, she [sic] generally intends to draw attention to herself – whether through shock, admiration, or envy of her embodied performance. There is a premium on standing out, on artfully desecrating the sacred.”
In writing the article, the authors wrote that they “are guided by the following question: what might Drag Queen Story Hour offer educators as a way of bringing queer ways of knowing and being into the the education of young children?”

<a href="https://www.geo.arizona.edu/person/jessica-kapp">Dr. Jess Kapp</a> is a lecturer at the University of Arizona. She wrote a blog post called "The Rape of America" where she compared the election of Donald Trump to rape. "He whispers promises of protection with crossed fingers behind his back, and while we prepare to give him a chance, turning our heads from his proven history of lies, he will attack us bareback and ride us until we tear... And just when we think it is going to let up, he will escalate the assault to gang rape.”

<a href="https://eeb.arizona.edu/person/john-wiens">Dr. John Wiens</a> is a Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona. A scholar of extinction and evolutionary biology, Wiens joked that Donald Trump should kill himself over his climate and environmental policies.

<a href="https://linguistics.arizona.edu/user/noam-chomsky">Noam Chomsky</a> is a professor of Linguistics at the University of Arizona and, according to MIT, one of the most <a href="https://news.mit.edu/1992/citation-0415#:~:text=From%201972%20to%201992%2C%20Professor,in%20the%20Science%20Citation%20Index.">cited academics in human history</a>.

In an interview with C.J. Polychroniou, Chomsky <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/trump-in-the-white-house-an-interview-with-noam-chomsky/">states</a> that the Republican party is the “most dangerous organization in human history.” The New Yorker also reports Chomsky's claims that <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/noam-chomsky-believes-trump-is-the-worst-criminal-in-human-history">Donald Trump is a worse criminal than Adolf Hitler</a>.

&nbsp;
Socialism
According to the New Criterion, Chomsky frequently <a href="https://newcriterion.com/issues/2003/5/the-hypocrisy-of-noam-chomsky">praised</a> the left-wing government of the Khmer Rouge and has publically disputed the credibility and existence of the Cambodian Genocide. Committed by the Khmer Rouge and its dictatorial head Pol Pot, it is <a href="https://cla.umn.edu/chgs/holocaust-genocide-education/resource-guides/cambodia#:~:text=Lasting%20for%20four%20years%20(between,following%20the%20Cambodian%20Civil%20War.">estimated</a> that at least 1.5 and 3 million people died between 1976 and 1979. Despite <a href="https://gsp.yale.edu/case-studies/cambodian-genocide-program">detailed reports</a> of starvation and systematic executions, Chomsky denied that any widespread killings had taken place and accused reporters of repeating right-wing propaganda and sensationalizing their stories. Chomsky attributes the deaths to US imperialism and executions of subversive elements to the communist government

&nbsp;
Antisemitism
Chomsky publically defends individuals who engage in Holocaust denial. As documented in Robert F. Barskey’s book, “Noam Chomsky: A Life of Dissent,” Chomsky was a <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=RKUbyYPG4mcC&amp;pg=PA180&amp;lpg=PA180&amp;dq=Dr.+Faurisson+has+served+as+a+respected+professor+of+twentieth-century+French+literature+and+document+criticism+for+over+four+years+at+the+University+of+Lyon+2+in+France.+Since+1974+he+has+been+conducting+extensive+independent+historical+research+into+the+%22Holocaust%22+question.+Since+he+began+making+his+findings+public,+Professor+Faurisson+has+been+subject+to+a+vicious+campaign+of+harassment,+intimidation,+slander,+and+physical+violence+in+a+crude+attempt+to+silence+him.+Fearful+officials+have+even+tried+to+stop+him+from+further+research+by+denying+him+access+to+public+libraries+and+archives.&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=_HNm25wsQ8&amp;sig=ACfU3U1uUzJGs8SMymEsOD-QnXHD08zr8A&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiT1NHe6IPvAhXGpZ4KHfKoCqoQ6AEwAHoECAMQAw#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false">signatory</a> to a petition in defense of the academic freedom of prominent Holocaust denier Robert Faurisson. <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=_TIrDwAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA59&amp;lpg=PA59&amp;dq=noam+chomsky+I+see+no+anti-Semitic+implications+in+denial+of+the+existence+of+gas+chambers,+or+even+denial+of+the+Holocaust&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=-ebdpQUkkR&amp;sig=ACfU3U0wrRkRwN-uGLqdPow6gCDxXd56ug&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiS-bPWuOXuAhWEBKYKHY_pAYI4FBDoATAAegQIBhAC#v=onepage&amp;q=noam%20chomsky%20I%20see%20no%20anti-Semitic%20implications%20in%20denial%20of%20the%20existence%20of%20gas%20chambers%2C%20or%20even%20denial%20of%20the%20Holocaust&amp;f=false">Stating</a> that he sees nothing antisemitic about Faurisson's work, Chomsky would even author the forward to Faurisson's next book.

September 11 Attacks
Speaking at MIT following the aftermath of the <a href="https://twitter.com/TPUSA/status/1171500948964818944">September 11 terrorist attacks</a> against the United States, Chomsky <a href="http://tech.mit.edu/V121/N52/52chomsky.52n.html">asserted</a> that 9/11 represented, “the guns having been directed the other way.” The Tech, MIT’s oldest newspaper, also reports Chomsky blaming US citizens for the attacks on 9/11, and that Osama bin Laden, leader of al Qaeda, might be innocent.
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1127 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-94-e1614388858415-1024x197.png" alt="" width="580" height="112" />
Chomsky also <a href="https://www.salon.com/2001/09/26/treason_2/">stated</a> that the US casualties were far less devastating than the effects of US foreign policy around the world. Chomsky <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/noam-chomsky/">stated</a> that the United States was attempting to murder “3-4 million people” in Afganistan and that the strike against Osama bin Laden was “some sort of silent genocide.”

In an article published in 2020, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/how-many-people-died-911-thousands-perishing-september-11-related-illnesses-1531058">Newsweek found that</a> “In New York, 2,750 people were killed, at the Pentagon 184 died, and a further 40 people were killed in Pennsylvania.” Newsweek also reported that 400 first responders were killed and that 18,000 survivors have been diagnosed with “9/11-related cancer.”

According to a <a href="https://acleddata.com/2020/09/03/demonstrations-political-violence-in-america-new-data-for-summer-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Federalist </a>found that “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the most destructive in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

The course is officially titled, “ENGL 101A: #SayTheirNames, a Black Lives Matter Literacy.” Students will be asked to study how American values are connected to “blackness,” and “whiteness.” Ms. Chan will then ask the following:

- How does social media allow for critiques of race, gender, sexuality, and violence?

- What does it mean to say their names as an elegy, an anthem, and a language to give space for talking about Black Lives?

The phrase “Say Their Names” is frequently chanted at BLM protests. The slogan is an attempt, by activists, to draw attention to black men and women who have allegedly been murdered by police. <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/08/28/sen-rand-paul-surrounded-as-diverse-group-of-cops-defends-from-mob/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senator Rand Paul was assaulted in August of 2020 by a mob yelling “[Brianna Taylor] Say Her Name!</a>”

Taylor, whose name is depicted in the banner of the course’s announcement, was reportedly dealing narcotics with her boyfriend–Kenneth Walker—at the time of her death. <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/09/the_truth_finally_emerges_about_breonna_taylors_death.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Walker opened fire on cops executing a search warrant on his apartment</a>, resulting in Breonna (who was present) dying in the crossfire.

Listed alongside the announcement banner are the course’s assigned texts. Those enrolled are required to read the following:

- Beyonce’s “Formation.” <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2016/02/08/2970258/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The song is a tribute to the Marxist, Black Panther Party</a>.

- Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright.” <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kendrick-lamar-alright-2016-10?op=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The song is frequently sung at BLM protests</a>.

- Ta-Nehisi Coates’s “A Letter to My Son.” Coates authors a hypothetical letter to inform his son that he will grow up in a country that will <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/07/tanehisi-coates-between-the-world-and-me/397619/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">oppress him because of his skin color</a>.

The course further promises to help students improve their writing skills by crafting a social narrative based on their “own social justice.” The class itself <a href="https://catalog.arizona.edu/policy/foundations-writing-requirement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fulfills a Foundations Writing Requirement</a> for the University, which students are required to complete in order to graduate.

“I’m one of those people who, from earliest memory, always felt feminineidentified even though I was assigned male at birth, even though everybody considered me to be a boy and raised me as such, and even though my body was apparently a typical male body.”
He has made some films including “<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0464189/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria” </a>(2005), and <a href="https://www.disclosurethemovie.com/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen” </a> (2020).

In a tweet posted on October 28, 2020, Stryker accused “the right” of “trans-baiting… [by] falsely claiming Biden supports sex changes for 8-year-olds” (see tweet below):
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

On January 26, 2021, Stryker promoted a seminar series by mentioning the alleged capitol insurrection of January 6, 2021 (see tweet below):
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Stryker is working on a book titled “Changing Gender: A Trans History of North America from Colonization to the Present.” In a November lecture delivered at the <a href="https://flathatnews.com/2022/11/15/distinguished-professor-author-dr-susan-stryker-gives-lecture-on-sex-and-race-classification-in-colonial-anglo-america/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">College of William and Mary</a>, Stryker explained his method in writing the book:
 “I draw from both scholarship and cultural theory to inform the stories that I tell in my book about gender-changing people over the last 400 years, through which I demonstrate how the social system of gender itself has changed over time,” Stryker said. “I build an argument for why, here in the late anthropocene, gender needs to change further still.”

<a href="https://profiles.arizona.edu/person/toomey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Russ B. Toomey</a> is a Professor of Family Studies and Human Development at the University of Arizona. Toomey was born a biological female who medically "transitioned" to male.

According to Toomey's faculty profile, "[She] teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on adolescent development, human sexuality and advanced graduate-level and applied statistics." Toomey’s lists of "expertise" includes but is not limited to:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">"Sexual orientation and gender diversity: identity development, minority stress, and resilience”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Intersections of multiple forms of minority stress” </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Sociocultural and contextual influences on health and development”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Adolescent/youth development”</li>
</ul>
In  2021, Toomey wrote an article titled, “<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/350641796_Advancing_Research_on_Minority_Stress_and_Resilience_in_Trans_Children_and_Adolescents_in_the_21st_Century" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advancing Research on Minority Stress and Resilience in Trans Children and Adolescents in the 21st Century.”</a> She claims that “Transgender and nonbinary children and adolescents bear a disproportionate level of poor health, and adverse developmental and academic outcomes compared to their cisgender peers.” She advocates “for explicit attention in minority stress models with gender-minority youth to the domains of (a) intrapersonal and interpersonal gender dysphoria, and (b) access and use of affirmative and comprehensive health care.”

In another 2021 article titled, <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/356018226_Transgender_Adolescent_Suicide_Behavior" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Transgender Adolescent Suicide Behavior” </a>— which Toomey co-wrote with Amy K Syvertsen and Maura Shramko—an argument is made that “most lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youths are quite resilient and emerge from adolescence as healthy adults, the effects of stigma and heterosexism can contribute to health disparities.”

In January of 2019, Toomey filed a <a href="https://www.acluaz.org/en/cases/toomey-v-arizona" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a> “against the State of Arizona and the Arizona Board of Regents for denying medically necessary, gender-confirming healthcare to transgender people employed by the state,” according to the ACLU. 

The ACLU stated the details behind the lawsuit and its current outcome:
“The lawsuit asks the Court to remove the health plan’s exclusion for “gender reassignment surgery.” It also seeks the opportunity for all transgender state employees and dependents to have their claims for transition-related surgery evaluated as medically necessary under the same standards and procedures the health plan applies to other medical treatments. On December 23, 2019, Judge Marquez denied Defendants State of Arizona, Andy Tobin and Paul Shannon’s Motion to Dismiss, and class certification was granted on June 15, 2020. Plaintiff filed a Motion for Preliminary Injunction on September 1, 2020 which has been fully briefed by the Parties. The Court has taken the motion under advisement.”
“During the discovery process, the State of Arizona appealed a ruling by the trial court that the state had to turn over certain documents. On April 14, 2022, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the State of Arizona’s petition, and litigation proceedings will continue.”

<a href="https://coe.arizona.edu/person/julio-cammarota" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julio Cammarota</a> is a Professor of Education at the University of Arizona. According to his faculty biography, “His research focuses on participatory action research with Latinx youth, institutional factors in academic achievement, and liberatory pedagogy.”

Cammarota’s profile also says he “has been instrumental with advancing social justice in education and youth development.” Julio has published over thirty peer-reviewed journal articles, with the bulk of them centered around equity, race, and critical education theories.

Since its birth, Critical Theory has been reserved for college campuses and postgraduate courses, but Julio Cammarota can be credited for bringing it into secondary schools. In his 2006 article, co-authored by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/augustine-romero-5744703b/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Augustine Romero</a>, titled, “<a href="https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ759647.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Critically Compassionate Intellectualism for Latina/o Students: Raising Voices Above the Silencing in Our Schools</a>,” Julio details how he developed “an alternative, social justice pedagogy in a high school located in Tucson, Arizona.” He describes the course further, saying:
“The school principal allowed us to work with a cohort of 20 Latina/o students during their junior and senior years, teaching them the state’s social studies requirements but adjusting the content and pedagogy in ways that facilitated the students’ critical consciousness around racial inequalities affecting their educational and general life experiences.”
Julio cited Paulo Freire on fourteen separate occasions within that same article. Freire is credited as one of the founders of modern day critical pedagogy, and Professor Cammarota works alongside the <a href="https://freireproject.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Freire Project</a> and other critical educators to advance his ideas.

Professor Cammarota’s most notable contribution to date, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Julio-Cammarota/dp/0816513414" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sueños Americanos: Barrio Youth Negotiating Social and Cultural Identities</a>,” is described as a study on:
<ul>
 	<li>“How gender influences social relationships and life choices.”</li>
 	<li>“How Latinos and Latinas try to maintain their distinct ethnic identity while attempting to transcend marginalization.”</li>
 	<li>“Whether the Latino culture helps young people work hard for their families and for a better future.”</li>
 	<li>“How the connections and disconnections among work, family, and school constitute formative processes that shape the cultural identities of Latino youth.”</li>
 	<li>“Concludes with a discussion of social justice education for Latino youth and how this educational approach meets their academic needs while providing opportunities for self-determination and community activism.”</li>
</ul>
Julio is also very active on his social media where he posts about politics and music among other things:<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3076" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/265742BE-8306-4974-919A-C624AF41EA6F.jpeg" alt="" width="685" height="554" />

According to her university profile, Dr. Kraehe also serves as the Associate Vice President for<a href="https://arts.arizona.edu/sections/equity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Equity in the Arts</a> as well as the co-founder and co-director of the<a href="https://arts.arizona.edu/racial-justice-studio/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Racial Justice Studio</a>. Both organizations are part of UA’s diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

Dr. Kraehe’s profile also says she “employs interdisciplinary theories and methodologies that draw from the social sciences, visual and cultural studies, critical race theory, women of color feminisms, and justice studies.”

Dr. Kraehe co-edited "<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Palgrave_Handbook_of_Race_and_the_Ar/VvBjDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=The+Palgrave+Handbook+on+Race+and+the+Arts+in+Education&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Palgrave Handbook on Race and the Arts in Education"</a> in which the authors claimed:

“Dominant understanding of ‘the arts’ and what it means to be an artist are profoundly shaped by racial logics and racial assumptions. Yet, because racism is foundational to Eurocentric understandings of culture and cultural production, it is always implicit in how the arts and artists are recognized and valued.”

In chapter one of their forthcoming book, “<a href="https://www.davisart.com/sites/default/assets/File/race-and-art-education-chapter-one.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race and Art Education</a>,” Dr. Kraehe and her co-author wrote that despite major cultural changes in the art field:

“There remains a third rail for many art educations—'big ideas’ and topics that are too emotionally and politically charged to go near. . As non-White women who have been engaged in art and art education for more than 50 years combined, we believe that third rail is race—or more precisely, racism.”

<a href="https://english.arizona.edu/person/marcia-klotz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marcia Klotz</a> is an Assistant Professor in Gender and Women’s Studies at the University of Arizona. Her faculty profile says she teaches “a wide variety of courses, including courses in American and British literature, film, critical theory, sexuality studies and cultural studies.” Klotz’s research interests encompass “queer theory,” “Marxist theory” and “the relationship between colonialism and modern racism.”

For the Spring 2024 semester, Klotz is scheduled to teach “Special Topics in Women’s Studies” and “Introduction to LGBTQ and Queer of Color Texts.” The latter <a href="https://gws.arizona.edu/course/englgws-351a-introduction-lgbtq-and-queer-color-texts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course description</a> simply states, “Survey with emphasis on writers in their literary and historical contexts.

In 2014, when Klotz taught courses at Portland State University, her apparent obsession with pornography resulted in a lawsuit against the college. <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/portland-state-sued-university-bdsm-model_n_5283337" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Huffington Post reported</a>, “[A former student] alleges then-assistant professor [Klotz] persuaded her into discussing personal issues about her past sexual abuse when she took Klotz’s course ‘The Erotics of Power.’”

Huffington Post continued, “The university concede[d] in a <a href="https://media.oregonlive.com/education_impact/other/PSUanswer.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">court filing</a> that Klotz exchanged more than 200 emails with [the former student] from 2009-2012, many of which about sexual topics…”

In 2018, Klotz posted her support for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS), <a href="https://bdsmovement.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an antisemitic movement</a> that claims to “[work] to end international support for Israel’s oppression of Palestinians.”

<a href="https://coe.arizona.edu/person/melanie-bertrand" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Melanie Bertrand</a> is an Associate Professor in the College of Education at the University of Arizona. According to her faculty profile, “[Bertrand’s] research explores the potential of youth and community leadership to improve schools and challenge systemic racism and other forms of oppression in education.”

In an article titled “Over 1,200 ‘Educators for Palestine’ Sign Open Letter Demanding Ceasefire,” <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/over-a-thousand-educators-for-palestine-sign-open-letter-demanding-ceasefire/#:~:text=Hundreds%20of%20academics%20from%20universities,has%20killed%20more%20than%2011%2C000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Truthout</a> offered a biased account of a statement signed by several university professors, including Bertrand. The statement was crafted after the October 7 Hamas attacks against Israel. 

Truthout said, “Hundreds of academics from universities and institutions of higher learning … from across North America have signed on to a joint letter, calling on their governments to demand Israeli ceasefire in Gaza … The signers, calling themselves ‘Educators for Palestine,’ are Palestinian academics and their allies who denounce Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.”

The <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BA7ddNwiUF9ns3zJK3t-nrTpn8R4s3ZB_wbZstAo2iY/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter Bertrand signed</a> states, in part:
“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.”
