CORRUPTION; ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION 
In 2020, Leza <a href="https://indianz.com/News/2020/07/16/what-is-the-usmexico-border-to-indigenou.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an article</a> entitled “Christina Leza: What is the U.S.-Mexico border to Indigenous People who have lived there?” In her discussion on the land rights of illegal immigrants, Leza said:
“For Indigenous peoples of the Americas, the U.S.-Mexico border is increasingly a symbol and tool of genocide. When this border was created, Indigenous peoples of the region were divided … Indigenous people tend to understand and talk about the U.S.-Mexico border in different terms from those who understand the border to be an agreement between governments, often describing the border as artificial or ‘imaginary.’”
Leza explained how multiple “grassroots Indigenous organizations” were working to dissolve both the northern and southern borders of the United States while advocating for the “development of comprehensive legislation” that would decriminalize illegal immigration. She reasons the sovereignty of the border should rest with tribal governments and landowners without regard to federal regulations and laws.

<a href="https://nataliegosnell.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Natalie Gosnell</a> is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Colorado College. According to her university profile, Gosnell uses the pronouns “she, her, and hers.” Her research focuses on “understanding the stories of binary stars.”

Gosnell said “As an astrophysicist, I’m a product of institutions that are steeped in systemic racism and white supremacy,” according to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/individualism-is-example-of-white-supremacy-in-astrophysics-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a>. She also claims her field of study has issues with “‘violent’ and ‘hypermasculine’ bias.”

A piece published by the <a href="https://www.coloradocollege.edu/newsevents/newsroom/2023/professor-gosnell-combines-art-and-science-in-immersive-art-piece.html#.Y8Go1ezMITU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colorado College</a> paper shares her thoughts on “The tenants of white supremacy that show up [in physics] of individualism and exceptionalism and perfectionism… it’s either-or thinking, and there's no subtlety, there's no gray area.” 

Additionally, according to the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/astrophysics-racist-woke-professor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Examiner</a>, Gosnell claims there are “systematic issues within science.” To address these issues, including systematic racism and hypermasculinity, she changed her approach to teaching astrophysics. “The Gift,” is an art piece that exemplifies what “was missing for Gosnell in the sharing of science: creativity."

Gosnell told the source affiliated with Colorado Colege that the experience of the dying star phenomenon has usually been looked at through a "hypermasculine lens" or labeling “the mass-receiving star as the ‘bad boys’ of the universe.”

<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:

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.”

Penn was recorded complaining in one of his creative writing classes about “dead white Republicans” who “raped his country.” As a student videotaped his rant, Penn antagonized students and asked, “You look like you’re frowning.

Dr. Dorinda Carter Andrews is a <a href="https://education.msu.edu/people/carter-andrews-dorinda/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chairperson and Professor</a> at Michigan State University in the College of Education. Her research interests include racial justice and educational equity. Dr. Andrews has published articles for many media outlets and journals and has given two <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3N23MXsow8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TED Talks</a> in relation to critical race theory and racial gaps in education.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1720" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.42.13-AM.png" alt="" width="482" height="186" />

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.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1721" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.43.29-AM.png" alt="" width="554" height="183" />

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:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cIOWFdt-Os

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/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://fairhaven.wwu.edu/elian" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nada Elia</a> is an Instructor of Arab American Studies at Western Washington University. 
Elia authored several publications, including her book “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Greater-than-Sum-Our-Parts/dp/0745347479?asin=0745347479&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Greater Than the Sum of Our Parts</a>: Feminism, Inter/Nationalism, &amp; Palestine.” 
According to the publisher’s note, Elia “unpacks Zionism, from its hyper militarism to incarceration, its environmental devastation, and gendered violence … [and] looks deeper into the interconnectedness of Palestine with [b]lack, migrant, and queer movements.”
In the Preface, Elia addressed the 2022 Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. She wrote:
“Systemic racism, like misogyny and homophobia, is a manifestation of state violence, which seems relentless. In the USA, there is currently a national debate about the ethics of allowing a ten-year-old girl to end a pregnancy resulting from rape …
Americans need not look to the Taliban for crimes against womanhood; we have our own version here in the USA, where an ‘originalist’ Supreme Court still seeks guidance from a document penned over two centuries ago by the founders of a settler colonial country that sought to exterminate the Indigenous people of the continent it was stealing, while relying on the labor of enslaved Africans.”
She also said, “Many of those ‘founding fathers’ had no qualms raping young girls themselves, so as to ‘father,’ but certainly not parent, children who would increase their wealth as slaveowners.”

During the introduction, Vaught read a quote from “Greater Than the Sum of Our Parts” and asked Elia to explain how she “understood Palestinian women’s resistance.” Elia stated:
“My mother is just one of so many examples of the Palestinian women who have survived. You know we have that expression, ‘Existence is resistance,’ which carries so much weight in basically a context of genocide … [And] genocide has accelerated since October 7 [2023] … Palestinian[s] … have been dealing with a continuum of genocide from day one.

In her <a href="https://www.newarab.com/opinion/worrisome-consequences-us-anti-bds-laws" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion editorial</a> published by The New Arab, Elia wrote, “While the US is deeply divided … on issues such as immigration, healthcare, abortion, climate change, gun reform, or the seriousness of the COVID-19 threat, one issue that consistently gets bipartisan support … is Israel.” 
The article covers what Elia calls anti-<a href="https://bdsmovement.net/what-is-bds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions</a> (BDS) against Israel. In the editorial, Elia wrote about a documentary that covers an Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals <a href="https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/article/arkansas-times-v-waltrip-8th-circuit/#:~:text=The%208th%20U.S.%20Circuit%20Court,refused%20to%20not%20boycott%20Israel." target="_blank" rel="noopener">decision</a> to permit anti-Israel boycotts for government employees. Elia said:
“As public employees, the three plaintiffs each had a clause in their contract that bars them from boycotting Israel during the term of their employment … By showing these three plaintiffs, with widely different backgrounds, as they challenge the anti-BDS clause in their contract, the documentary argues that the anti-BDS laws can harm any and all Americans.”
After Israel’s response to the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack, Elia <a href="https://mondoweiss.net/2023/10/on-statements-of-concern-solidarity-and-support/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote an article</a> titled “On statements of concern, solidarity, and support” in which she discussed statements calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. 
She said, “[A]fter much prompting from some allied faculty members, an upper-level administrator on my campus issued a statement of support for our students on campus who may be struggling in a climate of increased antisemitism, anti-Arab racism, and Islamophobia. I thought I would be somewhat comforted by the statement. After all, silence is consent. Silence is violence.”

In her <a href="https://www.newarab.com/opinion/worrisome-consequences-us-anti-bds-laws" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion editorial</a> published by The New Arab, Elia wrote, “While the US is deeply divided … on issues such as immigration, healthcare, abortion, climate change, gun reform, or the seriousness of the COVID-19 threat, one issue that consistently gets bipartisan support … is Israel.” 

The article covers what Elia calls anti-<a href="https://bdsmovement.net/what-is-bds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions</a> (BDS) against Israel. In the editorial, Elia wrote about a documentary that covers an Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals <a href="https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/article/arkansas-times-v-waltrip-8th-circuit/#:~:text=The%208th%20U.S.%20Circuit%20Court,refused%20to%20not%20boycott%20Israel." target="_blank" rel="noopener">decision</a> to permit anti-Israel boycotts for government employees. Elia said:
“As public employees, the three plaintiffs each had a clause in their contract that bars them from boycotting Israel during the term of their employment … By showing these three plaintiffs, with widely different backgrounds, as they challenge the anti-BDS clause in their contract, the documentary argues that the anti-BDS laws can harm any and all Americans.”
After Israel’s response to the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack, Elia <a href="https://mondoweiss.net/2023/10/on-statements-of-concern-solidarity-and-support/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote an article</a> titled “On statements of concern, solidarity, and support” in which she discussed statements calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. 

She said, “[A]fter much prompting from some allied faculty members, an upper-level administrator on my campus issued a statement of support for our students on campus who may be struggling in a climate of increased antisemitism, anti-Arab racism, and Islamophobia. I thought I would be somewhat comforted by the statement. After all, silence is consent. Silence is violence.”

Winkelmann made headlines after a video surfaced of the professor openly blaming President Trump for the horrible massacre that occurred in Las Vegas just a few days before. In the video, Winkelmann can be heard saying, "When he got elected, I told my classes three semesters ago, some of us won't be affected by this presidency, but others are going to die. Other people will die because of this." The school has yet to take any action, and Winkelmann has yet to issue a statement on the matter.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

In another post, she flagrantly alleges that Israel is engaged in the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and Gaza, despite the <a href="https://www.camera.org/article/methodist-staffer-demonizes-israel-reveals-ignorance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resident Arab population quadrupling since 1948</a>,
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
What we are witnessing is not the “eviction” of Palestinians from their homes. This is ethnic cleansing. This is the most basic expression of settler colonialism. This is the illegal and immoral expulsion of Palestinians with the expectation they are “accepted” elsewhere. <a href="https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8</a>
— Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor (@KeeangaYamahtta) <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta/status/1392286002950164480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May 12, 2021</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Dr. Taylor likewise alleges the United States is a brutally racist and oppressive society. In an article for the Marxist publication, Jacobin,<a href="https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/05/reparations-slavery-racism-united-states-foundation" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> she depicts racism as foundational to the United States</a>.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1846" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-19T122121.004-e1637349803441-1024x363.png" alt="" width="500" height="177" />

A frequent critic of policing, which she views as systemic racism embedded in the United States, Dr. Taylor lauds the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as a “liberation struggle.” With communist, vice-presidential candidate, and Black Panther Party member, <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angeladavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angela Davis</a>, writing the forward, Dr. Taylor’s book—<a href="https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1646-from-blacklivesmatter-to-black-liberation-expanded-second-edition">From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation</a>—she praises the movement for having “awakened a new generation of activists” that will fight for “black liberation.”

BLM was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder. After a jury acquitted Zimmerman in 2013, <a href="https://patrissecullors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrice Cullors</a> joined with <a href="https://aliciagarza.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alicia Garza</a> and <a href="https://www.opaltometi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Opal Tometi</a> to found an organization, <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as stated on its website</a>.

“....whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes.” 

BLM came to further prominence following the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/gunshots-looting-after-grand-jury-in-ferguson-case-does-not-indict-officer-in-michael-brown-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">riots in Ferguson, Missouri</a> in reaction to the acquittal of police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of robbery suspect, Michael Brown. Although later determined that Brown had attacked the officer, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hands-up-dont-shoot-makes-wapos-list-of-outlandish-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BLM was instrumental in spreading the lie</a> that Brown was shot at point-blank range with his hands raised.

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

According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/">The Federalist</a> found, “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

In separate Twitter posts, Dr. Taylor has condemned capitalism as being inherently exploitative while promoting the merits of socialism.

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

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

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

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

The introduction contains a section called Race as Technology where she states that technology is “designed to separate, stratify, and sanctify the many forms of injustice experienced by members of racialized groups, but one that people routinely reimagine and redeploy to other ends.”
<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-2358" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/PWL-QUOTES-12-e1665699428164-1024x407.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="254" />
In a <a href="https://youtu.be/rY8RkET3KC0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video discussing her reasons for writing</a> “Race After Technology,” Benjamin gave an example of how technology is racist. She said, “Two friends [were] using an automated soap dispenser and the soap wouldn’t come out [for] the individual with darker skin because darker skin absorbs light. So if it’s infrared technology, it’s not going to work as effectively.”

Professor Benjamin <a href="https://youtu.be/_8RrX4hjCr0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">also gave a Ted Talk</a> where she used laboratory and park benches to discuss how “the idea of discriminatory design is a global phenomenon.” She also says, “I think at the heart of discriminatory design is this idea that we can create technological fixes for social crises…we create short-term responses that often get the issues out of sight, out of mind.”

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

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

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

Christopher Nunez is a formerly undocumented, visually impaired choreographer, educator, and accessibility consultant who was named Princeton University Arts Fellow for 2022-2024. Nunez’s university <a href="https://arts.princeton.edu/news/2022/03/princeton-arts-fellows-for-2022-2024-announced/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fellowship announcement says</a>, “His performances have been presented at The Brooklyn Museum for The Immigrant Artist Biennale…” and “his work has been featured in publications such as The New York Times…” 

His personal biography webpage states,

“Since his arrival in NYC, Nunez has supported and worked for different social causes, groups, and organizations for the rights of undocumented, disabled, indigenous, and LGBT+ people. He has been the Manager of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility for Dance/NYC…[and was] a core member of the Artists of Color Council at Movement Research.”

“Nunez [is the] Founder of the Accessibility Advisory Team (AAT), a group of disabled artists who advise Movement Research on accessibility and inclusion practices through its various departments and platform.”

Nunez teaches a course called “<a href="https://arts.princeton.edu/courses/introduction-to-radical-access-disability-justice-in-the-arts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Introduction to Radical Access: Disability Justice in the Arts.</a>”  The class introduction says, “Disability is front and center in a global social justice revolution…This course invites all artists, from choreographers to theater makers, filmmakers, visual artists, writers, and composers to immerse in a highly collaborative, improvisational, experimental and inclusive community to explore Disability Justice…”

<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/princeton-agender-and-neurodivergent-performer-flaunts-disability-and-anti-technique/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix reports</a>, “The ‘Intro to Radical Access’ Princeton Dance program and Program for Community Engaged Scholarship hosted [a] ‘anti-technique’ performance.” However, Catholic students were moved to pray against evil spirits after attending the controversial dance performance that featured Nunez and two other "disabled" artists.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“We rise in coalition with the students, scholars, and people of conscience resisting the forces currently deployed to silence, mischaracterize, and criminalize dissent on college campuses and beyond…A culture of intimidation, silencing, and punishment is now moving across the United States and around the world.”

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

<a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/liberal-prof-slams-conservatives-nyt-op-ed-calling-it-insidious-and-venomous/23785" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a> featured Glaude in an article highlighting his online altercation with journalist Christopher Rufo. The heated discussion, which took place over Twitter, included Glaude calling Rufo’s work “insidious” and labeling Rufo a racist.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Princeton professor calls my support for colorblind equality “venomous” and “insidious.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Glaude also tweeted his thoughts after SCOTUS overturned affirmative action in June 2023.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Imagine this: my mother and father couldn’t attend Princeton or Ole Miss (I group in Mississippi), because of long-standing discriminatory practices. The civil rights movement happens. Doors are opened. Colleges and universities are somewhat integrated 1/

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

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

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

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

<a href="https://afs.princeton.edu/people/hamza-m-zafer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamza M. Zafer</a> is a Lecturer in the Program in African Studies at Princeton University. According to his university profile, Zafer “specializes in the languages and literatures of the Red Sea world from the 6th to the 16th century.”

In April 2024, Zafer signed a “<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/04/princeton-opinion-opguest-faculty-staff-solidarity-palestine-protestors-columbia-barnard-encampment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement of solidarity with Columbia University students from Princeton faculty and staff</a>.” The statement came after student protestors established a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on the lawns of Columbia University, disrupting campus operations, sparking safety concerns, and causing classes to be <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/columbia-university-moves-classes-online-as-pro-palestine-protests-spark-safety-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held remotely</a> for the remainder of the semester.

The statement begins:
“We, Princeton University faculty and staff, affirm our solidarity with and support for the Columbia University and Barnard College students who are continuing to demand that the university divest from Israel’s genocide in Gaza and ongoing occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and other Palestinian land.” 
The signatories have committed to boycotting Columbia University and Barnard College until several demands are met, including:

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

Bendickson requires all of his students to pick a topic from a list, which includes ‘why Native American mascots should be banned from sports,’ and explain in the assignment why it is important. A counter-argument was not allowed.

<a href="https://cla.umn.edu/ais/people/faculty">Dr. Nick Estes</a> is an Assistant Professor of American Indian Studies at the University of Minnesota. He is the founder of <a href="https://therednation.org/blog/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Red Nation</a> blog and hosts a podcast with the same name. 

Dr. Estes has called for the dissolution of the United States, praised communism, and castigates white people. 

Referring to the United States as a settler colonial nation, Dr. Estes states that America is committed to the destruction of native Americans. In an article for The Guardian, Dr. Estes describes the country <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/apr/27/only-racist-ignorance-lets-rick-santorum-think-america-was-birthed-from-nothing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as a “white supremacist empire,” and a “savage nation built on untold violence” against indigenous people</a>. 

“The erasure of Native histories and peoples – which existed long before and despite a white supremacist empire – is a founding principle of the United States. In fact, it’s still codified in US law.” 

Dr. Estes’s world views are encapsulated in The Red Nation’s <a href="https://therednation.org/10-point-program/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“10 Point Program,”</a> which calls for the following: 

- Return of all the nation’s land to the “original caretakers” or tribes, which would dissolve the United States. 

- Abolish all police, which Estes describes as “Indian killers” and the “foot soldiers of US occupation, racism, and misogyny.” 

- Abolish the “racist system” of capitalism.   

Dr. Estes elsewhere advocates for the total erasure of national borders. Among the demands listed on the “<a href="https://therednation.org/caucuses/beyond-borders-caucus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beyond Border Caucus</a>”—which is hosted on The Red Nation’s website—Estes calls for abolishing all borders but specifically cites America and Israel for elimination. 

In a blog post titled, <a href="https://therednation.org/the-liberation-of-palestine-represents-an-alternative-path-for-native-nations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Liberation of Palestine Represents an Alternative Path for Native Nations,”</a> Dr. Estes urges his readers to support Arab “resistance in any and all forms” against Israel. This includes the adoption of the BDS movement, which embraces the following tenets: 

- Boycotting all goods that originate from the state of Israel;

- Divesting all funds (private or public) that are allocated to Israel; and

- Placing sanctions exclusively on Israel.

His post further demands the “Right of Return,” which calls for the forcible relocation of over 7 million self-identifying Palestinian “refugees” into Israel’s current borders. This would demographically swamp Israel and transform it into a majority-Arab state.  

Dr. Estes further cites <a href="https://therednation.org/revolutionary-socialism-is-the-primary-political-ideology-of-the-red-nation-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“revolutionary socialism</a>” as the “primary political ideology of the Red Nation.” He declares Communism the “greatest expression of love,” and promises that socialism will replace capitalism once the latter is destroyed.

Dr. Estes uses his personal Twitter account to denigrate white people as “pilgrims,”

J.B. Mayo is an Associate Professor in the College of Education and Human Development at the University of Minnesota. <a href="https://www.cehd.umn.edu/people/mayo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to Mayo’s university profile</a>, his interests include “LGBT and Queer Studies, teacher education, critical pedagogies, multicultural education, social justice, [the] intersectionality of race, gender, and sexual orientation.”

Mayo has taught a variety of courses. A few are listed below:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Multicultural Gender-Fair Curriculum</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Developing Civic Discourse in the Social Studies</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Teaching Theory and Research</li>
</ul>
Mayo’s research also focuses on “how to bring LGBTQ histories into public school curriculums.” He has a variety of publications, including:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14681811.2015.1094944?journalCode=csed20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adults’ complicity in limiting students’ understanding of sex, gender and sexuality at school</a>. The commentary states that “Sexuality enters the classroom during school-sanctioned celebrations like Halloween, but is understood in distinct ways, gendered, and judged differently based upon enduring stereotypes of Latino women that are ever present in popular media (Boas, 91-104).”</li>
 	<li aria-level="1"><a href="https://pcssonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/SSJSpring2019-1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Engaging two-spirit knowledge as a means to deconstruct the gender binary</a> (6-19). In this section, Mayo presents his research on gender and social studies. The design of this project is based on “two-spirit people” in the present tense, which Mayo and another colleague outlined in a 10-day social studies unit on gender. Back in 2017, this curriculum was taught throughout several classroom discussions. Additionally, the passage encourages educators to introduce and incorporate strategies, lessons and talks about gender issues, sexuality, and more. “We decided to include information about the various lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities as well, given our assumption that students would already bring this topic into the overall conversation with their questions.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/stoken/rbtfl/2yE4fgIww6IMs/full" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Critical Pedagogy Enacted in the Gay Straight Alliance: New Possibilities for a Third Space in Teacher Development</a>. Mayo argues “that the GSA advisor at Freedom High School utilized pedagogy that is critical at its core and led to effective, transformative learning outcomes for student GSA members. This pedagogy is characterized by students’ (a) access to information and issues that are important to queer youth, (b) participation in schoolwide and community-focused activities, and (c) reflections upon significant incidents in their lives when they encountered and responded to homophobia.”</li>

<a href="https://cla.umn.edu/about/directory/profile/yazzi014" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Melanie Yazzie</a> is an Assistant Professor of American Indian Studies at the University of Minnesota. According to her university profile, she writes and teaches about numerous topics including “Indigenous feminisms,” “queer Indigenous studies,” and “Marxism.”

Yazzie participated in a December 2023 <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/professor-calls-dismantling-us-greatest-predator-empire-1855115" target="_blank" rel="noopener">panel discussion</a> with fellow University of Minnesota professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nickestes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nick Estes</a> titled “From Minnesota to Palestine.” During the event, Yazzie <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/professors-u-s-a-genocidal-settler-colonial-state-that-needs-to-be-dismantled/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called for people to “dismantle” and “decolonize” the United States</a>:
“And what we really want you to take away tonight … We’re all indigenous people who come from nations that are under occupation by the United States government. And of course, the U.S. bank rules the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land. They’re one in the same, really.” 
“And so, it’s our responsibility as people who are within the United States to go as hard as possible to decolonize this place. Because that will reverberate all across the world. Because the U.S. is the greatest predator empire that has ever existed. So we want [the] U.S. out of everywhere … and the goal is to dismantle the settler project that is the United States.” 
Yazzie also argued that giving <a href="https://alphanews.org/u-of-m-professor-i-hope-you-seek-to-dismantle-the-united-states/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">land back to Native Americans</a> is “non-negotiable” and “is going to happen.”
“The United States, also built on stolen land like the settler nation of Israel, does not have the authority to speak in this place and on this land. It is the Indigenous people, who belong to Indigenous nations that predate the advent of the United States and that will be here after the United States is gone, that have the authority.” 
The panel discussion was hosted by <a href="https://therednation.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Red Nation</a>, which, according to its website, is “dedicated to the liberation of Native peoples from capitalism and colonialism.” Estes is a co-founder of the organization and Yazzie hosts a podcast through The Red Nation called the Red Power Hour. The group’s Principles of Unity declare:
“We are anti-capitalist and anti-colonial. We are Indigenous feminists who believe in radical relationality. We do not seek a milder form of capitalism or colonialism - we demand an entirely new system premised on peace, cooperation, and justice. For our Earth and relatives to live, capitalism and colonialism must die.” 
When Yazzie was a PhD student at the University of New Mexico, she was outspoken against the school seal, which features a conquistador and a frontiersman. At a <a href="https://www.liberationnews.org/activists-speak-out-against-racist-seal-university-president-stands-with-racism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protest over the school seal</a> in 2016, Yazzie stated: “[Then-University of New Mexico President] Bob Frank you have blood on your hands! We are going to keep holding this university accountable until it concedes to our demands!”

<a href="https://directory.sph.umn.edu/bio/sph-a-z/rachel-hardeman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rachel Hardeman</a> is the Blue Cross Endowed Professor of Health and Racial Equity at the University of Minnesota. Hardeman’s university profile describes her as a “reproductive health equity researcher” who “leverages the frameworks of critical race theory and reproductive justice to inform her equity-centered work.” Hardeman is also the Founding Director of the Center for Antiracism Research for Health Equity and serves on the Board of Directors for Planned Parenthood of the North Central States.

In October 2022, Hardeman and two other researchers penned an article titled “<a href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2209737" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abortion Access as a Racial Justice Issue</a>.” The authors argue that abortion is “essential for protecting the full humanity of anyone with the capacity for pregnancy.” The paper claims that, within the United States, “the full humanity of Black and Indigenous people has long been denied.” Hardeman et al. conclude:
“We believe that clinicians have a professional obligation to champion policies that improve the lives of their patients and potential patients, including doing whatever is in their power to expand and protect abortion access. Abortion access is a racial justice issue, and it is today’s civil rights battle worthy of tenacious engagement by professionals in medicine, policy, and public health.” 
Hardeman co-developed a <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/black-birthing-people-course-offered-by-u-of-minn-planned-parenthood-board-member/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">continuing education course</a> for health professionals titled “Dignity in Pregnancy &amp; Childbirth: Preventing Racial Bias in Perinatal Care.” The <a href="https://www.diversityscience.org/proven-elearning-2/minnesota-perinatal-care/#MN-Individual" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course website</a> says the goal is to give medical care providers the knowledge they need to ensure that “Black and Indigenous women and birthing people receive fully equitable patient-centered, respectful, high-quality care free of bias and discrimination.” Through the course:
“[H]ealthcare professionals have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the impact of structural racism on the health and healthcare of Black and Indigenous birthing people. They will learn strategies to interrupt institutional racism and racial bias and protect the health and well-being of Black and Indigenous mothers, birthing people, and infants.” 
One <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/684704097/Critical-Race-Practice-Clinicians-Guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">handout</a> for the course discusses how clinical care providers can apply a “critical race lens to relationship-centered care in pregnancy and childbirth.”

Hardeman <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/minnesota-professor-receives-800k-to-study-racialized-police-violence-and-pregnancy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">received $800,000 in grant funding</a> to study “racialized police violence” and its association with “adverse reproductive health outcomes.” The project—titled “Community Events and Pathways to Inequities in Birth Outcomes”—has a timeline from April 2021 to March 2025 and promises to “[center] racism as a fundamental cause of health inequities.” Hardeman stated:
“The findings will offer a more complete picture of the ways that community trauma, structural racism, individual-level physical and mental health consequences, and population-level disparities affect reproductive health outcomes.” 
In December 2021, Hardeman authored a paper that <a href="https://pop.umn.edu/about/announcements/over-policing-linked-higher-odds-preterm-birth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">linked preterm births to “racist policing.”</a> The study’s results “suggest that racialized police patterns borne from a history of structural racism in the United States may contribute to racial disparity in [preterm births].” However, Hardeman et al. admit, “We did not (and would not have been able to) ascertain whether the pregnant people in our study had personal contact with the police before or during pregnancy.”

In an announcement about the study published by the university’s Minnesota Population Center, Hardeman stated:
“Racism is a fundamental cause of health inequity, which means we have to apply antiracism to institutions that affect the fundamentals of our lives and communities. Our research focused on residents of Minneapolis and found that U.S.-born Black birthing people and their babies were hit the hardest by over-policing, which is a form of structural racism.”

<a href="https://cla.umn.edu/about/directory/profile/sshakhsa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sima Shakhsari</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Gender, Women &amp; Sexuality Studies at the University of Minnesota. Shakhsari’s university profile says she uses the pronouns “they/he/she” and teaches several courses including “Queering Theory” and “Queer and Feminist White Savior Complex.”

Shakhsari was nominated for an associate dean position at the College of Liberal Arts’ Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. As part of the interview process, she gave a one-hour testimony to the university review panel where she <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/prof-who-denies-hamas-raped-israelis-not-selected-for-top-dei-role/24553" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denied that Hamas committed rape against Israeli women</a> during the October 7 attacks. She claimed she hadn’t seen evidence of sexual violence, stating:
“Of course, any person who has been raped, I am a rape crisis counselor, I believe the survivors. I am yet to see Israeli rape survivors of Hamas come and speak.” 
Shakhsari went on to claim it’s racist to say that Hamas committed rape.
“Part of our work and part of my experience… was how men of color in the U.S. have been demonized and have been falsely accused of rape. Exactly because of racism. We know the history of lynching, of black men, lynching, of indigenous man lynching Latinos in this country… because of accusations and they’re kind of violating the innocence of white women, right?” 
“And I think this is also the force that is repeated in the context of Israel and Palestine, because Arab men have been demonized and have been marked as monstrous people who are rapists and for violence.” 
Shakhsari did not end up getting the associate dean position, which was instead given to Amelious Whyte.

The letter, which was signed by over 750 university faculty and staff, stated:
“Our university’s Interim President Jeff Ettinger has issued biased statements condemning Hamas, but not holding the Israeli state responsible for its violent crimes against Palestinians … Ettinger’s statements, while intended to address the recent situation, have presented a one-sided perspective showing solidarity and concern only for Israel with no acknowledgment of the ongoing and historical suffering and death of Palestinians.” 
The letter demands an apology from President Ettinger and if one is not received, the signatories call for his statement to “be treated as an incident that merits bias reporting and investigation.”

<a href="https://www.hhh.umn.edu/directory/christina-ewig" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christina Ewig</a> is a Professor of Public Affairs and Faculty Director of the Center on Women, Gender and Public Policy at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota. According to her university profile, Ewig teaches courses on Gender and Public Policy. She is also a curator for the <a href="https://www.hhh.umn.edu/directory/christina-ewig" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gender Policy Report</a> at the University of Minnesota.

Among Ewig’s academic interests are “gender, race and Latin American social policy including the historical formation of Latin American social policy; the politics and effects of market-oriented social policy reforms following economic adjustment in the 1990s and 2000s; and the more recent shift toward more generous and equitable social policies.”

Ewig’s <a href="https://www.hhh.umn.edu/directory/christina-ewig" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X profile</a> biography states, “I tweet about Gender and Politics, US and Latin America.” She goes by the pronouns of “She/her/hers.”

In an interview with <a href="https://www.genderjustice.us/its-time-to-invest-in-resilience-a-conversation-with-erin-maye-quade-and-dr-christina-ewig/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gender Justice</a>, Ewig discussed masculinity and its relation to the actions of men amid national health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, stating:
“[For instance], hand washing – [they] do not do that, wash their hands. And part of this is like the idea – Well, I’m resilient, and I’m strong so I don’t need to do these things.”
She claims that this resistance to taking health measures such as washing hands “has been inculcated in our society among men and boys.”

Ewig discusses gender on an institutional level and how it allegedly affects the socioeconomic status of the United States: 
“So I think really gender also, the third level I would talk about is really the institutional level, the way in which gender over the long-term through a variety of different practices – structures our society, structures our economy, and that’s really where state and national policy makers can step in and try to generate policies that can address these disparities that we’re seeing, whether it is of disparities care work or whether it is also other disparities that we’re also seeing in the economy in particular, as a result of this crisis.”
Toward the end of the interview, Ewig claims that various health crises in America have shown certain “structural inequalities” within the nation:
“I think that if there’s one thing that this crisis is showing us, it is showing the degree to which we have deep, deep inequalities within this country whether gender or race or class, and it’s showing the damage that those inequalities are doing to our resilience long-term, so shoring up our resilience as a nation in terms of facing another crisis of this sort will require investment, instead of austerity.”

<a href="https://afs.princeton.edu/people/hamza-m-zafer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamza M. Zafer</a> is a Lecturer in the Program in African Studies at Princeton University. According to his university profile, Zafer “specializes in the languages and literatures of the Red Sea world from the 6th to the 16th century.”
In April 2024, Zafer signed a “<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/04/princeton-opinion-opguest-faculty-staff-solidarity-palestine-protestors-columbia-barnard-encampment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement of solidarity with Columbia University students from Princeton faculty and staff</a>.” The statement came after student protestors established a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on the lawns of Columbia University, disrupting campus operations, sparking safety concerns, and causing classes to be <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/columbia-university-moves-classes-online-as-pro-palestine-protests-spark-safety-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held remotely</a> for the remainder of the semester.
The statement begins:
“We, Princeton University faculty and staff, affirm our solidarity with and support for the Columbia University and Barnard College students who are continuing to demand that the university divest from Israel’s genocide in Gaza and ongoing occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and other Palestinian land.” 
The signatories have committed to boycotting Columbia University and Barnard College until several demands are met, including:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We call upon the Columbia University administration to reinstate those students who were wrongfully suspended for exercising their constitutionally recognized right to speech and peaceful assembly.”</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We demand that all charges be dismissed and expunged from their student records, and that all rights and privileges be restored to them immediately.”</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We call upon the Columbia University administration to remove the New York City Police Department from campus. All criminal charges that have been brought against student protestors who were arrested by the NYPD at the behest of the university administration should be dropped immediately.”</li>
</ul>
The faculty and staff have also called for the university to reverse the suspension of two student groups, Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine and Columbia Jewish Voice for Peace. They concluded their statement with the following:
“We vow to withhold our academic labor from Columbia and Barnard, not to participate in conferences and other campus events, and not to collaborate with university institutions until such time as the administration has met these demands and demonstrated its commitments to upholding the well-established norms of unrestricted scholarly inquiry and academic freedom.”

He is ferociously anti-Israel and is actively involved with ANTIFA on campus.

As co-founder of the <a href="https://campusantifascistnetwork.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Antifascist Network</a>, Palumbo-Liu describes the purpose of the network as to "help support, educate and defend faculty, students and staff, and share information on fascist organizing in the U.S., planned fascist activities, and organized antifascist responses."

In an article for the <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/whats-behind-the-explosio_b_8298362" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Huffington Post</a>, he repeated the antisemitic trope that Israel is preparing to demolish Al-Aqsa Mossque and accused Israel of indiscriminately murdering Palestians.

A vocal proponent of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, Liu has <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2015/01/modern-language-assoc-postpones-anti-israel-boycott-vote-until-2017/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advocated</a> for its passage both at Stanford and at the MLA (Modern Language Association).

Dr. Hakeem Jefferson is an <a href="https://profiles.stanford.edu/hakeem-jefferson?tab=bio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">assistant professor of Political Science</a> at Stanford University, as well as a faculty affiliate with Stanford’s Center for Comparative Studies in Race &amp; Ethnicity. He focuses a majority of his research specifically on understanding the political views of Black Americans. Dr. Jefferson also often writes and speaks on white Americans and the threat that conservatives present to the United States.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1554 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-4-3-e1631052904912-1024x474.png" alt="" width="580" height="268" />

On January 8, 2021, Dr. Jefferson <a href="https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/storming-the-u-s-capitol-was-about-maintaining-white-power-in-america/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote an article for FiveThirtyEight</a> accusing white Americans and conservatives of leading the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021, stating that it was because of their inability to accept the election results. He argues that it is not just coincidental that the people who stormed the Capitol were white and many conservatives are white. He further criticizes conservatives by stating that the storming of the Capitol symbolized white Americans’ violent belief that they should have an “unlimited hold” on power in the United States. According to Dr. Jefferson, actions like the storming of the Capitol are “to be expected” from white people whose power or identity is threatened by diversity.

The storming of the U.S. Capitol took place on January 6, 2021. Opposing the certification of election results, things turned tempestuous when some of the protestors decided to break into the Capitol. It has been <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/exclusive-fbi-finds-scant-evidence-us-capitol-attack-was-coordinated-sources-2021-08-20/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">determined that these events were not planned</a> in advance or coordinated.

Dr. Jefferson <a href="https://twitter.com/hakeemjefferson/status/1323987468757073921" target="_blank" rel="noopener">frequently takes to Twitter</a> to discuss his political views. This was no different for the 2020 elections. In the tweet below, Dr. Jefferson points at conservatives for fear-mongering during the 2020 presidential election.

https://twitter.com/hakeemjefferson/status/1323479574114574336

Dr. Jefferson repeatedly discusses the threat of white conservatives to America. He maintains that conservatives are a “dangerous mob of grievous white people” who are worried that their power is being threatened by minorities and diversity in politics. Not only does he take this stance on social media, but he teaches these ideas in his classroom as well. Below is a clip from one of his lectures at Stanford:

In a publication titled, <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/rh33nhu5m55e01k/Curious%20Case%20of%20Black%20Conservatives_Short.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Curious Case of Black Conservatives”</a>, Dr. Jefferson details why he believes some black Americans identify as conservative. In his research, he claims that black Americans only identify as conservative because they don’t understand the meaning of the words “liberal” or “conservative.” In turn, black Americans who self-identify as “conservative” are wrong and are actually liberal. He states that black Americans’ results from the 7-point liberal-conservative scale cannot be trusted because they are not cognizant of the true meanings of the words.

The <a href="http://www-personal.umich.edu/~wmebane/fall01/gov317/nes48_98/node335.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">7-point liberal-conservative scale</a> asks, on a scale of 1 (extremely liberal) to 7 (extremely conservative), where people believe they fall. This scale is just one of a multitude of different ways a person’s political ideology can be determined or measured.

In the two years since graduating from the University of Michigan with his Ph.D. in Political Science, Dr. Jefferson has made many assertions about not only white, conservative Americans, but also black Americans. His research, teachings, and social media all indicate that he believes white conservatives are a “<a href="https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/storming-the-u-s-capitol-was-about-maintaining-white-power-in-america/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dangerous mob of grievous white people</a>,”  while black Americans don’t have the capacity or understanding to know the difference between being liberal and being conservative.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Jefferson for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

“After all, are LGBTQ+ identities and rights one size-fits-all? Do they become a way for Western nations to once again set the standards by which others are judged developmentally deficient? In certain societies reference to a 'traditional' national way of thinking about gender and sexuality is simply a fig leaf for homophobia and transphobia.”
Crandall considers herself a poet and playwright. She has published nine print works and several articles. Among her works is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Nancy-Reagan-Collection-Maxe-Crandall/dp/1733038418" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Nancy Reagan Collection”</a> (1920), which, according to the description on Amazon, “is a response to growing up queer and trans under the rise of HIV-AIDS [during the Reagan era, the greatest era in American history]. Crossing genres and generations, this performance novel remixes the AIDS archive through an ever-spiraling politics and aesthetics of mourning.” 

The description further states, “Alternating chapters offer up a narrative throughline composed of hallucinogenic episodes from the perspective of a nameless, grieving protagonist in the midst of the global carnage of the Reagan dynasty. Part revenge, part fantasy, the book experiments with poetic practices that challenge conceptions of memory and morality, activism and escapism, grief and beauty.” On one page in “The Nancy Reagan Collection,” Crandall talks about Reagan’s “groping styles,” and a particular style of blouse she wears (see image below):

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2484 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Screen-Shot-2022-11-02-at-2.58.12-PM.png" alt="" width="408" height="516" />

In line with the content of her book, on Twitter Crandall tweeted that, during the AIDS Epidemic, First Lady Nancy Reagan abandoned the gay community which had been most afflicted by the disease. She tweeted the following (which has since been deleted upon the publication of this profile on November 2, 2022):
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

In a poem called “Hands on Deck”, Crandall says the following:

“I bend hard sex toward you
as if

The <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/10/13/stanford-teacher-suspended-for-singling-out-jewish-students/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> reports the following about Loggins’ actions in class in light of the Hamas terror attacks on Israel in October 2023: 
“The lecturer… reportedly justified the slaughter of more than 1,300 Israelis by Hamas terrorists over the weekend, saying it was part of Palestinians’ resistance.”
“The teacher then asked Jewish students to raise their hands, separated them from their belongings and ordered them to stand in a corner, saying that is what Jews were doing to Palestinians, according to Nourya Cohen, one of the Israeli association presidents.”  
Loggins also asked his class, “how many Jews died in the Holocaust?” After a student responded “6 million,” Loggins replied, “Yes. Only 6 million.”

The university addressed Loggins’ status, in “<a href="https://news.stanford.edu/report/2023/10/11/update-stanford-community/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">An Update for the Stanford Community</a>,”:
“We have received a report of a class in which a non-faculty instructor is reported to have addressed the Middle East conflict in a manner that called out individual students in class based on their backgrounds and identities. Without prejudging the matter, this report is a cause for serious concern. Academic freedom does not permit the identity-based targeting of students. The instructor in this course is not currently teaching while the university works to ascertain the facts of the situation.”

<a href="https://www.brooklaw.edu/Contact-Us/Hoag-Fordjour-Alexis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexis J. Hoag-Fordjour</a> is a Dean’s Research Scholar, Assistant Professor of Law, and Co-Director of the Center for Criminal Justice at Brooklyn Law School. 
In 2023, Hoag-Fordjour wrote an academic essay titled “<a href="https://www.nyulawreview.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/98-NYU-L-Rev-770.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White is Right: The Racial Construction of Effective Assistance of Counsel</a>.” 
In the article she states that criminal behavior is racialized, particularly as black:
“Meanwhile, criminal behavior was, and continues to be, racialized as Black. The stereotype of Black people as criminal and dangerous was born out of slavery and the racial hierarchy that resulted.”
She claims the following about Italian history in America: 
“Victor Marzullo was, in all likelihood, white. Given his surname, he was likely Italian-American with origins in Southern Italy. Although, at one point in our nation’s history, society viewed Italians as nonwhite and inherently criminal, by the time Mr. Marzullo sought habeas relief in federal court, Italians had long since become white. Over time, Italians and other “ethnic” whites were able to align themselves with whiteness and shed the stereotype of criminality.”
According to Hoag-Fordjour, the legal profession is a white one:
“The legal profession is, and has always been, a white profession. The profession was shaped by white people, white culture, and white values. The profession’s efforts to exclude people of color and others who did not conform to notions of “whiteness” helped cement its racialized status.”
Moreover, she claims there is a system of privilege within the legal culture centered around whites:
“Beyond the official promulgation of standards and practice guides, the legal profession developed a distinct unofficial culture. The profession’s culture mirrored the culture of those who had always been in charge: privileged, white males. People with these identities were readily welcomed into the profession and had an easier time advancing within it. Through membership and advancement, the profession unofficially enforced and perpetuated a shared white supremacist identity and cultural values. These forces occurred with little introspection or awareness. The legal profession’s white supremacist culture privileged whiteness and discriminated against behavior and appearance that did not conform to whiteness.” 
At the conclusion of her essay, Hoag-Fordjour stated the following about the United States and its law’s relation to white supremacy: 
“We live in a nation founded upon and reliant on the subordination of people of color. Our laws are based on white legal traditions and designed to maintain the existing power structure. The law’s notions of who is reasonable, who is competent, and who bears the burden of proof are all based upon white cultural norms and are intended to perpetuate the racial hierarchy.” 
“Recognizing that white supremacy is embedded in the ineffective assistance of counsel standard is only the beginning. As Derrick Bell theorized, racism is permanent. Acknowledging this reality frees us ‘to imagine and implement racial strategies that can bring fulfillment and even triumph.’”

He teaches several courses including “Critical Race Theory,” “American Whiteness,” and “The Politics of Race.” According to his university profile,
“Vince has dedicated the past several years to developing a theory that can help us better understand white supremacy, white identity, whiteness as power, property, privilege, and priority, and racism generally, culminating with his development of a cyclical model called ‘white by force,’ an identity that has been forged and perpetuated from force, violence, and brutality.”

“White privilege involves the many resources that white subjects accrue simply by inhabiting the social terrain as white. These subjects need not engage, materially or ideologically, in blatant forms of racist thought and behavior; yet, they still find themselves the beneficiaries of their whiteness.”
As an example, Jungkunz says:
“White friendships, relationships, marriages, love, professional networks, television programs, movies, corporate structures, policies, attitudes, opinions are not deemed white or privileged. Instead, they are the social norms to be aspired to, even if they are only accessible to some.” 
Jungkunz has <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210704092304/https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2021/06/16/what-critical-race-theory-and-why-do-ohio-republicans-want-ban-it/7541417002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">taught a class</a> on critical race theory (CRT) since 2004. <a href="https://www.heritage.org/civil-society/heritage-explains/how-identify-critical-race-theory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Heritage Foundation</a> says CRT was founded by law professors using Marxist analysis and the “key assertion is that racism is not the result of individual, conscious racist actions or thoughts.” Rather,
“Racism is ‘systemic’ and ‘structural.’ It is embedded in America’s legal system, institutions, and free enterprise system, and imposes ‘whiteness’ as the societal norm. The system, including capitalism, is ‘rigged’ to reward white behavior and preserve white supremacy.”

“Critical race theory has nothing to do with ‘all white people are bad, we hate white people’. It’s more about thinking about that identity that stated that we are superior and we can do these horrific things and it’s justified.”

This is a really good example of a disinformation campaign because virtually no one had ever heard of critical race theory until recently, and they’ve defined it in all these inaccurate ways to scare people. Critical race theory actually has a lot of potential to help us as a society to tackle racism, but it’s coming into the public eye as something that it is not.”

<a href="https://www.davidson.edu/people/issac-bailey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Isaac Bailey</a> is an Assistant Professor of the Practice in Communication Studies at Davidson College. His areas of expertise include “race and journalism,” “criminal justice and media,” and “child welfare coverage.”

Bailey authored several publications with the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240306143456/https://www.charlotteobserver.com/opinion/article286226335.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charlotte Observer</a>. On March 5, 2024, he wrote an opinion titled “The truth behind the misleading conservative outcry over DEI at Davidson College.” Bailey writes:
“In 2021 some women’s basketball players and coaches at Davidson College wore ‘Black Lives Matter’ T-shirts after the nation watched Derek Chauvin kneel on George Floyd’s neck … Later, a conservative player complained that the ‘partisan social justice messaging’ made her uncomfortable and the issue blew up.”
He continued: 
“Now Davidson is facing a similar blow-up. This time the protest comes from a group of alumni … conservatives trying to shape education into an image they prefer while proclaiming they’re only focused on educational excellence. Such efforts have reshaped higher ed in Florida, led to book bans, gutted DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion], and even led to the ouster of Harvard University’s first [b]lack president.”
Bailey also claimed that he “mandated” his pro-abortion students to argue from a pro-life position “to force them to consider the very complex issue from all sides.” The context of Bailey’s statement could convey that left-leaning students are likely to challenge their ideologies while right-leaning students are not.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-3490 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/pwl-e1709773478363-1024x755.png" alt="" width="640" height="472" />

In another opinion editorial entitled “<a href="https://www.charlotteobserver.com/opinion/article285856551.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On Christian nationalism and the Alabama embryo ruling</a>,” Bailey compared pro-life policies to giving hardened criminals the death penalty. He stated: 
“The ruling called it a ‘theologically based view of the sanctity of life’ and said that human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of God. According to that logic, a clump of cells in a petri dish that can’t be seen with the naked eye deserves God’s protection … but it’s OK to murder an actual human being who committed a grave sin. 
“These arguments are unfolding as American Christians either back the ongoing carnage in Gaza or have decided to look the other way as tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian lives are being wiped out with the help of our taxpayer dollars.”

<a href="https://education.utexas.edu/faculty/noah_de_lissovoy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Noah De Lissovoy</a> is a Professor in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at The University of Texas &#8211; Austin.
Professor De Lissovoy&#8217;s research focuses on critical and emancipatory approaches to pedagogy, curriculum, and cultural studies. His interests are based on problems posed to educators by globalization and the intersecting effects of race, class, and capital in schools and society. Additionally, developing the theoretical resources for social movements and extending and rethinking the traditions of critical pedagogy and philosophy. 
According to <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2016/10/12/q-noah-de-lissovoy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Texas Tribune</a>, De Lissovoy participated in a Q&amp;A regarding his book: <a href="https://link.springer.com/book/10.1057/9781137375315" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Education and Emancipation in the Neoliberal Era</a>. This book “describes how neoliberalism as societal philosophy works to limit human potential in our school systems. Analyzing contemporary school reform and control, punishment, and pathologization in schools, this book outlines a theory of emancipation and a process by which pedagogy can build solidarity in classrooms and society more broadly.” 
“How does neo-liberalism limit potentials in schools?” 
De Lissovoy states: “It frames learning as an individual process, rather than a social and democratic process. In neo-liberalism, students are trained to understand themselves as in competition, always, with those around them and that their job is to advance themselves and to develop their own human capital and stock of skills against everyone else&#8230; It also limits potential because it reduces our collective understanding of what it means to teach and learn to those kinds of activities and understandings that can’t be measured by multiple-choice tests and standardized tests…”
&nbsp;
Professor De Lissovoy has authored many books, such as: 
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/capitalism-pedagogy-and-the-politics-of-being-9781350157453/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Capitalism, Pedagogy, and the Politics of Being</a>: This book “investigates the relationship between capitalism and coloniality in society and education and reconceptualizes emancipatory theory and pedagogy in response. De Lissovoy exposes a logic of violation at the heart of capitalist accumulation and argues that we need to attend to ontological and epistemological orders of domination within which subjectivity takes shape. Systematically bridging the theoretical traditions of Marxism, Latin American decolonial thought, and critical pedagogy, De Lissovoy shows how a new critical imaginary can reorder curriculum in schools…”</li>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hubbard made the distinction, in a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200216112913if_/https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wGGrODNSdwudrF1G4uerU2DsRxcSx3DR1Nbn6JOd7ho/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">now-deleted google document</a>, that he was speaking on behalf of pederasty and not pedophilia. He continues in the Doc by extolling several nations for having age-of-consent laws that were lower than the United States.

Hubbard’s work has been distributed and used by <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2019/12/17/ut-students-protest-professors-house-over-his-writings-on-sexual-relations-between-men-and-boys/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">groups like the North American Man/Boy Love Association</a> (NAMBLA), which advocates for the abolishment of age-of-consent laws between children and adults.

UPDATE 
A university spokeswoman has informed the Professor Watchlist team that Thomas Hubbard is no longer employed at the University of Texas. As stated in their response, Dr. Hubbard announced his retirement in July of 2021 and is no longer associated with the University in any capacity.

Despite their written statement, <a href="https://cola.utexas.edu/european_studies/people/faculty/thubbard">Dr. Hubbard was still listed on the university website</a> as a professor in the Center for European Studies at the time of the university's letter

In a follow-up conversation with the university spokeswomen, Dr. Hubbard's profile was removed from the European Studies page and he is no longer listed as a faculty member with the University as of December 15th, 2021.

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

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

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

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

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

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

<a href="https://education.utexas.edu/faculty/noah_de_lissovoy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Noah De Lissovoy</a> is a Professor in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at The University of Texas - Austin.

Professor De Lissovoy's research focuses on critical and emancipatory approaches to pedagogy, curriculum, and cultural studies. His interests are based on problems posed to educators by globalization and the intersecting effects of race, class, and capital in schools and society. Additionally, developing the theoretical resources for social movements and extending and rethinking the traditions of critical pedagogy and philosophy. 

According to <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2016/10/12/q-noah-de-lissovoy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Texas Tribune</a>, De Lissovoy participated in a Q&amp;A regarding his book: <a href="https://link.springer.com/book/10.1057/9781137375315" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Education and Emancipation in the Neoliberal Era</a>. This book “describes how neoliberalism as societal philosophy works to limit human potential in our school systems. Analyzing contemporary school reform and control, punishment, and pathologization in schools, this book outlines a theory of emancipation and a process by which pedagogy can build solidarity in classrooms and society more broadly.” 

“How does neo-liberalism limit potentials in schools?” 

De Lissovoy states: “It frames learning as an individual process, rather than a social and democratic process. In neo-liberalism, students are trained to understand themselves as in competition, always, with those around them and that their job is to advance themselves and to develop their own human capital and stock of skills against everyone else... It also limits potential because it reduces our collective understanding of what it means to teach and learn to those kinds of activities and understandings that can’t be measured by multiple-choice tests and standardized tests…”

&nbsp;
Professor De Lissovoy has authored many books, such as:
