<a href="https://www.ehshouston.org/academics/faculty-staff-2021/profile/~const-id/8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mrs. Sharon Willcutts-Havel</a> is a Studio Arts teacher at <a href="https://www.ehshouston.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Episcopal High School</a> (EPS) in Bellaire, Texas. In a Zoom lecture to students, Mrs. Willcutts-Havel told her class that all white people are guilty of racism and America is only great because of slavery.
In a video provided exclusively to the Professor Watchlist from an anonymous source, Mrs. Willcutts-Havel can be heard recommending the book, “I am Still Here; Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness,” to her students.
“I just finished this book last night, and it’s by Austin Channing Brown. Anyone heard of her? She’s amazing! I thought I knew about Racism. This is all about whiteness and white fragility; how we make apologies for our racism. I am Still Here; Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness.” 
The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Im-Still-Here-Dignity-Whiteness/dp/1524760854" target="_blank" rel="noopener">book’s summary states</a>, “I’m Still Here is an illuminating look at how white, middle-class, Evangelicalism has participated in an era of rising racial hostility, inviting the reader to confront apathy, recognize God’s ongoing work in the world, and discover how blackness—if we let it—can save us all.”
Author Austin Channing Brown writes, “White people are exhausting” in the first line of the book, and has expressed how she <a href="https://religionnews.com/2018/05/09/white-people-are-exhausting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">very purposefully chose those words</a> to address her audience. Brown has suggested in prior interviews that white people <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzuWlU9Llnc&amp;ab_channel=TrinityChurchWallStreet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">can only call themselves Christians if they reject their whiteness</a>.

&nbsp;
The book heavily draws on the work of Ta-Nehisi Coates, an author for The Atlantic who <a href="https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/07/the-toxic-world-view-of-ta-nehisi-coates-120512/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describes 9/11 First Responders as “menaces of nature.”</a>
Furthermore, Mrs. Willcuts-Havel accuses all white people of being guilty of racism.
“I too, found how guilty I am by reading through this. We all are as white people, we all are. That’s a fact.”
She then alleges that America is prosperous only because of slavery.
“Because this country was based on slavery. We are great, this country is great because of slavery. So, we couldn&#8217;t be&#8230;we’re the greatest country in the world, you guys! That&#8217;s what they say and it&#8217;s because it was built on the backs of other people.”

<a href="https://profiles.ucr.edu/app/home/profile/janew">Jane Ward</a> is a professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of California - Riverside. According to her personal website, Ward <a href="https://www.janewardphd.com/">teaches</a> courses in feminist, queer, and heterosexuality studies. She also <a href="https://gsst104thewitch.weebly.com/">teaches</a> a course titled, “Witches, Gender and Religion.” A “Witch,” according to Ward–who instructs the course with a “postcolonial feminist lens”–threatens capitalism, settler colonialism, and Christianity.

Ward is the <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/professor-heterosexuality-tragic-causes-societal-problems">author</a> of a book titled, “The Tragedy of Heterosexuality.” Ward’s central premise of the book–<a href="https://www.insider.com/why-straight-relationships-are-doomed-according-to-sex-researcher-2020-12">outlined</a> in a 2020 article for Insider_ is her belief that heterosexuality strains relationships between the sexes, and causes men to objectify women.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1077 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-69-e1612395266936-1024x281.png" alt="" width="580" height="159" />

According to Ward, the idea of heterosexuality formed the “romanticized narrative” of a gender binary and “pigeon-holed” men into a toxic-masculine culture. She states that Covid-19 is now exposing the “tragedy” of heterosexuality, citing the uptick in divorce since the pandemic began.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1078 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-70-e1612395416239-1024x366.png" alt="" width="580" height="207" />

She has also previously <a href="https://theconversation.com/the-white-supremacist-origins-of-modern-marriage-advice-144782">detailed</a> her belief that marriage advice for heterosexual couples is rooted in white supremacy. Ward alleges that the marriage advice offered by figures in the 19th-eugenics movement is the cause of “violence and inequity” between heterosexual couples today.

In a <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=16693">statement</a> to Campus Reform, Ward explained that she “loves straight couples” and wants them to have better relationships.

In addition to her teaching responsibilities, Ward <a href="https://www.janewardphd.com/resources.html">offers</a> “Childhood Gender Diversity Training” seminars. According to her personal website, Jane advocates for “celebrating” a child’s gender diversity and self-expression, and offers the training to help adults, parents, and teachers refrain from “policing” a child’s gender expression. Ward is also a <a href="https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/support-affirmative-care-for-trans-kids">signatory</a> to an open petition urging the Canadian government and others “to join us in calling for additional funding to develop more services to better support gender diverse children.”

Dr. Shaya Gregory Poku is the author of, “9 Tips for Anti-Racist Child Rearing.” The document is part of a racially-incendiary Facebook post that celebrates racial differences, instructs blacks not to have too many white friends, and calls for schools to teach about racial hierarchies in the world.
Her original comments were <a href="https://www.facebook.com/shaya.gregorypoku/posts/995249889614" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published as an address to white parents</a>, asking them to make the “struggle for racial justice” part of their daily lives.
Urging parents to embrace “racial differences,” Dr. Poku describes color-blindness as “absurd.”
“Acknowledge and celebrate differences in appearance, features, and cultural norms. Describe people referring to their racial backgrounds. Do not use euphemisms or code words.”  
“DO NOT teach kids that the world is fair or a meritocracy! Stop the propaganda!” She continues, “The U.S. (and the world) have long and violent histories of racial subjugation. The status quo – what is normative in U.S. society is racism, white supremacy, and anti-blackness. Kids need to be progressively introduced to the harm of this racial hierarchy.”
In addition to intervening when children make friends with “prejudiced” playmates, Dr. Poku recommends that parents do not “live your life in a white bubble.” This includes boycotting white-owned businesses in favor of those owned by minorities.
In June 2022, <a href="https://today.emerson.edu/2022/05/13/shaya-gregory-poku-appointed-vp-for-equity-social-justice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Poku was named the Vice President for Equity and Social Justice at Emerson College</a>. She previously served as “Chief Diversity Officer” at Wheaton College.

<a href="https://www.emerson.edu/faculty-staff-directory/kimberly-mclarin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Kimberly McLarin</a> is a Professor of Creative Writing and the Director of Popular Fiction Writing and Publishing at <a href="https://www.emerson.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emerson College</a> in Boston, Massachusetts. As of January 2022, she will additionally serve as <a href="https://berkeleybeacon.com/creative-writing-professor-appointed-interim-dean-of-graduate-and-professional-studies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Interim Dean of Graduate and Professional Studies at the college</a>.

Dr. McLarin is known for her racially laden invectives directed against white people, delivered across a variety of platforms and mediums. In one article, Dr. McLarin bluntly states that white women and black women cannot be friends because of their skin color.

At the beginning of her piece, Dr. McLarin writes that <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/03/29/can-black-women-white-women-be-true-friends/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she simply cannot trust white women:</a>

<img class="size-full wp-image-1871 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-23-at-8.17.36-AM.png" alt="" width="421" height="185" />

She further reveals that her closest friends have also cut off many white people from their immediate circle. Dr. McLarin echoes their sentiments, writing that white women are just, “too much trouble” to be around.

Dr. McLarin then lists what she describes are the real reasons why she isn’t friends with white women; their power and white privilege. She accuses all white women of holding and wielding racial privilege to their benefit, in particular with matters involving police officers. She describes these women as the “most ferocious” opponents of gender equality, as they “choose race over gender” on every occasion. Therefore, she contends that many white women do not wish to grapple with race and, as a result, their racial privilege.

Dr. McLarin then writes that she attributes her frustration in particular to the white women in her class. She singles out white, female students in particular for failing to comprehend systemic racism. She finishes the piece by stating that white women simply do not view black women as vulnerable, and therefore do not view black women as human.

In a separate article, Dr. McLarin goes even further; <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/03/fashion/03love.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she states that she will not only refuse to be friends with white women, but will not date anyone that is white</a>. The piece was published in the New York Times in December of 2006, just after Dr. McLarin separated from her husband. She acknowledges the divorce was over race, admitting that her white husband’s inability to grapple with race was the deciding factor in ending their marriage.

The majority of the article explains Dr. McLarin experiences dating another colleague, who is also white. During one of their dates, Dr. McLarin found herself enraged over a conversation involving race. She writes that her hands began trembling when her date stated, “I don’t think everyone is racist.”

She would eventually break up with him, admitting that “it costs too much for me to date a white man.”

<img class="wp-image-1872 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-23-at-8.19.59-AM.png" alt="" width="393" height="205" />

Dr. McLarin again directs her invective <a href="https://www.thesunmagazine.org/issues/550/on-white-violence-black-survival-and-learning-to-shoot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">towards white people in a piece about buying and using a gun in a hypothetical race war</a>. The article in question was published inThe Sun magazine as Dr. McLarin recounts her interaction with an NRA instructor as she attempts to buy a firearm for the first time.

Dr. McLarin expresses her contempt for her NRA-certified instructor and her uneasiness in handling a gun throughout the piece, writing that her past experience with guns had been “wholly negative.” Listing off a variety of examples of what she would describe as racialized violence, Dr. McLarin characterizes the reason for her wanting to get a gun is due to the fact that “white violence towards black people is always calculated.” She further writes, “but some things are clear: Power begets violence. Violence reinforces power. White Americans damn well know this much.”

Dr. McLarin then identifies her urgency in getting a gun; If a racial war were to break out, she would use the gun against the “violent white mobs” and “take them as they come.”

“If a civil war breaks out, I say, if violent white mobs begin roaming the country as they have done in the past, I will not worry about precision shooting. I intend to sit on my porch with my legally acquired handgun and as much ammunition as I have and perhaps a bottle of Scotch and take them as they come. I say as much to my husband. My husband, understandably, is shocked. He’s not sure he believes me. I’m pretty sure he should.” 

She then alludes that her actions are necessary and justified, questioning whether she can live in a violent society without becoming and acting just as violent.

Dr. Shaya Gregory Poku is the author of, “9 Tips for Anti-Racist Child Rearing.” The document is part of a racially-incendiary Facebook post that celebrates racial differences, instructs blacks not to have too many white friends, and calls for schools to teach about racial hierarchies in the world.

Her original comments were <a href="https://www.facebook.com/shaya.gregorypoku/posts/995249889614" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published as an address to white parents</a>, asking them to make the “struggle for racial justice” part of their daily lives.

Urging parents to embrace “racial differences,” Dr. Poku describes color-blindness as “absurd.”

“Acknowledge and celebrate differences in appearance, features, and cultural norms. Describe people referring to their racial backgrounds. Do not use euphemisms or code words.”  

“DO NOT teach kids that the world is fair or a meritocracy! Stop the propaganda!” She continues, “The U.S. (and the world) have long and violent histories of racial subjugation. The status quo – what is normative in U.S. society is racism, white supremacy, and anti-blackness. Kids need to be progressively introduced to the harm of this racial hierarchy.”

In addition to intervening when children make friends with “prejudiced” playmates, Dr. Poku recommends that parents do not “live your life in a white bubble.” This includes boycotting white-owned businesses in favor of those owned by minorities.

China is the greatest existential threat that the United States currently faces. Through military, governmental, and financial fronts, the authoritarian Chinese government seeks to supplant the United States as the world’s sole superpower. None of their tactics may be more perfidious than the placement of Confucius Institutes on campuses across the country. Currently, 64 Institutes operate at American universities, high schools, and even elementary schools, serving as focal points of China’s espionage against our country. China has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to indoctrinate students with state-sponsored, communist propaganda, matched by university funds that are enabled by your hard-earned tax dollars.
Turning Point USA is standing up to the Chinese Communist Party. Through our China on Campus initiative, Turning Point USA is highlighting the infiltration of our educational institutions and halting the Chinese government in its tracks. We will locate, identify, and expose every school and professor that receives funding from the Chinese government. Through our efforts, Turning Point USA aims to close every Confucius Institute on American campuses for good.

<a href="https://www.wm.edu/sites/dhp/faculty/ciccariello-maher-george.php">Dr. George Ciccariello-Maher</a> is a Visiting Scholar of Decolonizing Humanities and Modern Languages and Literatures at the College of William and Mary. He previously taught in the Department of History and Politics at Drexel University.

From the College of William and Mary's website, his work at the Decolonizing Humanities Project is <a href="https://www.wm.edu/sites/dhp/decoloniality/index.php">described</a> as exploring, “how colonization, modernity, capitalism, and, most recently, neoliberalism has displaced an array of modes of living, thinking and being.  Decoloniality reveals “the dark side of modernity” and how it is built “on the backs” of “others.”

Ciccarello first came to notoriety for his racially inflammatory statements on twitter. On Christmas of 2016, he <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/Drexel-officials-Professor-George-Ciccariello-Mahers-White-Genocide-tweet-was-utterly-reprehensible.html">tweeted</a> out,

“All I want for Christmas is White Genocide,”

and,

“To clarify: when the whites were massacred during the Haitian Revolution, that was a  good thing indeed.”

He also tweeted out,

“Some guy gave up his first-class seat for a uniformed soldier. People are thanking him. I’m trying not to vomit or yell about Mosul.”

When Ciccariello was confronted by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndkvgmGIQHQ">Tucker Carlson</a> over his tweets, he only proceeded to double-down. In the following exchange, he defended the academic veracity of his tweets by claiming, “performance art is scholarship.”

Ciccariello doesn’t shy away from utilizing violence to accomplish his radical beliefs. In an op-ed for <a href="https://www.salon.com/2015/05/04/riots_work_wolf_blitzer_and_the_washington_post_completely_missed_the_real_lesson_from_baltimore/">Salon</a>, he praised the riots that had engulfed Baltimore in 2015 in an article titled “Riots Work.” He wrote, “without the threat of insurgency in the streets, no charges would ever have been brought in the murder of Freddie Gray.” Obviously not a proponent of police, Ciccariello openly <a href="https://www.salon.com/2015/04/24/we_must_disband_the_police_body_cameras_arent_enough_only_radical_change_will_stop_cops_who_kill/">advocates</a> for the abolishment of police forces, describing them as, “originally slavecatchers.”

When not calling for the disbandment of our law enforcement, Ciccariello is an ardent defender of the socialist regime in Venezuela. He regularly <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2013/04/12/thatcher-is-dead-long-live-chavez/">praises</a> Hugo Chavez and has bizarrely <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhYz1owM-uA&amp;feature=youtu.be">claimed</a> that Venezuela does not have corrupt elections.

Ciccariello doesn’t shy away from violent groups as well. In order to fight white-nationalism, Ciccarello called on Americans to embrace the radical group ANTIFA in an interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTv_hqjrmi8&amp;feature=youtu.be">Democracy Now</a> following the El Paso mass shooting. Although committed by a stated white nationalist, in the same interview Ciccariello placed the blame on Donald Trump for the deaths, claiming that his rhetoric on immigrants inspired the shooter’s rampage.  Ciccariello made similar accusations in a prior <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTv_hqjrmi8&amp;feature=youtu.be">interview</a> about the Texas Church Massacre, alluding that “whiteness” and Trump’s stoking of white victimhood was to blame for the murders.

<a href="https://www.lsu.edu/hss/religious-studies/people/finley.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Stephen Finley</a> is an Associate Professor of Religious Studies &amp; African and African American Studies—in addition to serving as the Director for the latter department—at <a href="https://lsu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Louisiana State University</a>.
Dr. Finley is a scholar and contributes positive articles about the Nation of Islam (NOI). He has <a href="https://laist.com/news/nation-of-islam-leader-hails-nipsey-hussle-as-a-prophetic-voice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">further praised Louis Farrakhan,</a> the organization’s leader, for allegedly brokering peace between gangs in an article for LAist.
A <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/louis-farrakhan-what-to-know-controversial-nation-of-islam-leader" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prominent black nationalist</a> that has led the NOI for decades, <a href="https://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2018/03/24/the-20-worst-quotes-from-louis-farrakhan-liberal-americas-favorite-racist-n2463869" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Farrakhan is known for virulent anti-white and antisemitic statements.</a> He has called for the formation of black militias, stating that “white people need to die,” and even praised Adolf Hitler as a “very great man” in a speech comparing himself to the Nazi dictator.
As a critical race scholar, the bulk of Finley&#8217;s work is concentrated on “whiteness studies,” itself a branch of critical race theory.
<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Critical race theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism</a>—also referred to as critical theory—that alleges that <a href="https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white supremacy infects all political, legal, and cultural institutions</a> in America. Many prominent critical theorists, including professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even claim that the <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nation’s true founding year is 1619</a>—rather than 1776—when the first slave stepped foot in North America.
<a href="https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-whiteness-studies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Whiteness studies</a>, itself a branch of critical race theory, examines the place of white people in modern society. The theory argues that white people—whether aware or unaware of their privilege—contribute and benefit from racialized systems of oppression. Therefore, critical theorists work to dismantle “whiteness” and the structures that underline it.  Another facet of whiteness studies—one that Dr. Finley subscribes to—notes that when people of color attempt to replace these systems, white people will oppose the efforts to achieve racial equity—oftentimes violently—in order to preserve their own racial privilege.
As the author of <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.5325/jafrireli.3.4.0443" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“God IS a White Supremacist</a>,” Dr. Finley, defines “God” as the current state that manifests as white supremacy in everyday life, particularly in the lives of black Americans. This state inflicts racial violence towards black Americans through institutions like the police There is no recourse for this carnage as this God-like state is “divine and above reproach” to many white Americans.
Dr. Finley is also a contributing author of the book, “<a href="https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.12657/46538/external_content.pdf?sequence=1&amp;isAllowed=y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Religion of White Rage</a>,” which alleges how white people go to great lengths to preserve their own racial privilege. Over the course of his chapters, Dr. Finley develops his own concept, positing that whiteness—and thus, “white rage”—is a religion to most white people.
Dr. Finley defines religion as a mechanism for people to comprehend their place and purpose in the world. In this context, whiteness is the framework for white Americans to position themselves apart from people of color in order to maximize the benefits of racial privilege that our society confers. This is done through a series of institutions that explicitly benefit white Americans—such as the police—at the expense of black Americans.
Dr. Finley posits that all whites benefit from and work to uphold these racist structures. Whenever they are challenged by the social progress of African Americans, white Americans will often respond violently.
The term that Dr. Finley uses to define this phenomenon is “white rage;” Whiteness causes white Americans to react violently whenever their privilege is challenged by social or racial progress.

The specific instances that Dr. Finley cites are the white supporters of Donald Trump and the “MAGA Movement” at large. He alleges that the rise of Donald Trump is a backlash to the racial progress brought on by a black president (Barack Obama).
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-2032 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-03-30T171427.426-e1648685691615-1024x243.png" alt="" width="580" height="138" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-03-30T171427.426-e1648685691615-1024x243.png 1024w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-03-30T171427.426-e1648685691615-300x71.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-03-30T171427.426-e1648685691615-768x182.png 768w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-03-30T171427.426-e1648685691615-1200x285.png 1200w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-03-30T171427.426-e1648685691615.png 1299w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" />
This in turn drew a “violent response of white communities” over their perceived loss of racial entitlements.
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-2033 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-03-30T171601.515-e1648685790456-1024x307.png" alt="" width="580" height="174" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-03-30T171601.515-e1648685790456-1024x307.png 1024w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-03-30T171601.515-e1648685790456-300x90.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-03-30T171601.515-e1648685790456-768x230.png 768w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-03-30T171601.515-e1648685790456-1200x359.png 1200w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-03-30T171601.515-e1648685790456.png 1299w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" />
He writes further that Donald Trump draws upon the “myth of the white worker”—or a nostalgic return to a mythical era—to “activate the white populace” to protect their privilege.
Rather than a fringe scholar, Dr. Finley’s work is openly promoted by the university. At his most <a href="https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/theadvocate.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/2/ae/2aed5752-7568-11eb-8871-4f0d6325ef45/6034426fa5d8a.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent event</a>, the communications department hosted Dr. Finley to discuss his book alongside other whiteness and critical race scholars.

As a critical race scholar, the bulk of Finley's work is concentrated on “whiteness studies,” itself a branch of critical race theory.

<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Critical race theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism</a>—also referred to as critical theory—that alleges that <a href="https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white supremacy infects all political, legal, and cultural institutions</a> in America. Many prominent critical theorists, including professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even claim that the <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nation’s true founding year is 1619</a>—rather than 1776—when the first slave stepped foot in North America.

<a href="https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-whiteness-studies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Whiteness studies</a>, itself a branch of critical race theory, examines the place of white people in modern society. The theory argues that white people—whether aware or unaware of their privilege—contribute and benefit from racialized systems of oppression. Therefore, critical theorists work to dismantle “whiteness” and the structures that underline it.  Another facet of whiteness studies—one that Dr. Finley subscribes to—notes that when people of color attempt to replace these systems, white people will oppose the efforts to achieve racial equity—oftentimes violently—in order to preserve their own racial privilege.

As the author of <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.5325/jafrireli.3.4.0443" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“God IS a White Supremacist</a>,” Dr. Finley, defines “God” as the current state that manifests as white supremacy in everyday life, particularly in the lives of black Americans. This state inflicts racial violence towards black Americans through institutions like the police There is no recourse for this carnage as this God-like state is “divine and above reproach” to many white Americans.

Dr. Finley is also a contributing author of the book, “<a href="https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.12657/46538/external_content.pdf?sequence=1&amp;isAllowed=y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Religion of White Rage</a>,” which alleges how white people go to great lengths to preserve their own racial privilege. Over the course of his chapters, Dr. Finley develops his own concept, positing that whiteness—and thus, “white rage”—is a religion to most white people.

Dr. Finley defines religion as a mechanism for people to comprehend their place and purpose in the world. In this context, whiteness is the framework for white Americans to position themselves apart from people of color in order to maximize the benefits of racial privilege that our society confers. This is done through a series of institutions that explicitly benefit white Americans—such as the police—at the expense of black Americans.

Dr. Finley posits that all whites benefit from and work to uphold these racist structures. Whenever they are challenged by the social progress of African Americans, white Americans will often respond violently.

The term that Dr. Finley uses to define this phenomenon is “white rage;” Whiteness causes white Americans to react violently whenever their privilege is challenged by social or racial progress.

The specific instances that Dr. Finley cites are the white supporters of Donald Trump and the “MAGA Movement” at large. He alleges that the rise of Donald Trump is a backlash to the racial progress brought on by a black president (Barack Obama).

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2032 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-03-30T171427.426-e1648685691615-1024x243.png" alt="" width="580" height="138" />

This in turn drew a “violent response of white communities” over their perceived loss of racial entitlements.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2033 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-03-30T171601.515-e1648685790456-1024x307.png" alt="" width="580" height="174" />

He writes further that Donald Trump draws upon the “myth of the white worker”—or a nostalgic return to a mythical era—to “activate the white populace” to protect their privilege.

Rather than a fringe scholar, Dr. Finley’s work is openly promoted by the university. At his most <a href="https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/theadvocate.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/2/ae/2aed5752-7568-11eb-8871-4f0d6325ef45/6034426fa5d8a.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent event</a>, the communications department hosted Dr. Finley to discuss his book alongside other whiteness and critical race scholars.

In a press release preceding the event, Dr. Finley characterizes the <a href="https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/theadvocate.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/2/ae/2aed5752-7568-11eb-8871-4f0d6325ef45/6034426fa5d8a.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">religion of the white people as the “motivating factor” for the rise in white supremacist </a>sentiment, which in turn resulted in the “Capitol Insurrection.”

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Finley for comment, but he declined to respond prior to publication.

Northeastern University

Dr. <a href="https://www.northeastern.edu/graduate/bio/denis-sullivan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Denis Sullivan</a> is a Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at <a href="https://www.northeastern.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northeastern University</a> in Boston, Massachusetts. He additionally serves as the co-Director of the <a href="https://cssh.northeastern.edu/internationalcenter/middle-east/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Middle East Center</a>, a branch of <a href="https://cssh.northeastern.edu/internationalcenter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northeastern’s International Center</a>. Dr. Sullivan is known for including anti-Israel elements into his curriculum, and for his defense of the terrorist organization Hamas.

Founded as the offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Gaza Strip, Hamas is an Islamist terrorist organization. The organization’s <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charter explicitly calls for the destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews</a>.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1890" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-30T123137.664-e1638300714181-1024x366.png" alt="" width="500" height="179" />

The group has ruled the Gaza strip since 2005 and explicitly targets Israeli civilians while using its own <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/183750" target="_blank" rel="noopener">citizens as human shields during military operations</a>. <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">Hamas regularly fires rockets</a> and <a href="https://palwatch.org/page/18217" target="_blank" rel="noopener">directs suicide bombers into crowded areas</a>. The organization is <a href="https://www.fdd.org/in_the_news/2021/05/26/faq-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responsible for the death of thousands of Israelis and at least 25 Americans</a>.

In a lecture dated to 2009, Denis Sullivan can be heard <a href="https://vimeo.com/127604352" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trivializing Hamas atrocities during a lecture about foreign relations with Israel</a>. In the clip, captured by the organization <a href="https://canarymission.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canary Mission</a>, Dr. Sullivan begrudgingly admits that Hamas is a terrorist organization, but proceeds to praise them for having “great healthcare and kindergartens."

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Sullivan-Hamas-does-great-healthcare.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Further in the same lecture, while discussing peace negotiations, Dr. Sullivan claims that it’s irrelevant that Hamas will not recognize the right of Israel to exist.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Sulivan-Hamas-wont-recognize-Israel-.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

According to reports from the group <a href="https://www.peaceandtolerance.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Americans for Peace and Tolerance (APT)</a>, Dr. Sullivan <a href="https://www.peaceandtolerance.org/2014/02/26/northeastern-universitys-islamists/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">regularly assigns extreme anti-Israel materials in his class</a>. One text is, “<a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/233020/the-holocaust-industry-by-norman-g-finkelstein/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Holocaust Industry</a>,” by author and former professor, Norman Finkelstein. The book alleges that Israel uses the Holocaust to shield itself from criticism when committing war crimes on par with that of the Nazis.

“The Holocaust has proven to be an indispensable ideological weapon. Through its deployment, one of the world’s most formidable military powers, with a horrendous human rights record, has cast itself as a “victim” state, and the most successful ethnic group in the US has likewise acquired victim status.” - Norman Finkelstein, The Holocaust Industry

Another assigned text is titled, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ethnic-Cleansing-Palestine-Ilan-Pappe/dp/1851685553" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine</a>'' by IIan Pappe. The book falsely charges Israel with committing mass genocide and ethnic cleansing of the region’s Arabs during the nation’s founding.

Dr. Sullivan has directed numerous university-sponsored trips to introduce students to meet Syrian and Egyptian officials. As APT has documented, his students met with at least one Egyptian minister <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9mmOilcDA4&amp;ab_channel=apeacet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who believes in the antisemitic conspiracy that Jews manipulate and control the world economy</a>.

In addition to his duties in the Middle East Center, his biography lists him as a member of the organization, “Human Rights Watch.” The group has been <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/04/experts-slam-human-rights-watch-for-biased-and-inaccurate-report-accusing-israel-of-apartheid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused by a number of watchdog organizations of publishing slanted and falsified information about Israel</a>. The organization has become so maligned, that its founder, Robert Bernstein, once lambasted his organization for <a href="https://archive.ph/b1E3q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">focusing its efforts solely on Israel while ignoring actual authoritarian regimes</a>.

&nbsp;
Updated - November 30, 2021

<a href="https://cssh.northeastern.edu/faculty/shahid-alam/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Shahid Alam</a> is a professor of economics at <a href="https://www.northeastern.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northeastern University</a> in Boston, Massachusetts. After immigrating to the United States from Pakistan, Dr. Alam began working for Northeastern in 1988 where he serves as the academic advisor for the group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).

Infamous for sympathy towards Islamic terrorism in his work, Dr. Alam has authored pieces justifying suicide bombers, compared the 9/11 highjackers to America’s founding fathers, and repeated antisemitic libels while supporting the BDS movement.

BDS—which stands for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions—is an international movement with a singular focus on boycotting, divesting, and levying sanctions against the world’s sole Jewish state. The movement’s co-founder—Omar Barghouti has admitted that once <a href="https://www.israellycool.com/2020/06/02/watch-bds-co-founder-omar-barghouti-admits-their-goal-is-destruction-of-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">these planks are implemented, they will destroy Israel</a>.

In a piece for the site, CounterPunch, Dr. Alam pens a <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/07/29/the-academic-boycott-of-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">full-throated defense of BDS</a> as a necessary tactic to confront Israel. While characterizing the Jewish state as not a “normal country,” he falsely accuses Israel of constructing an “apartheid state” to commit genocide against Arabs.

Dr. Alam uses his accusation as justification for <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/07/29/the-academic-boycott-of-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">then-ongoing waves of suicide bombers in Israel</a>, writing, “dispossession is implemented by force-unless this project is aided by pathogens; and, it follows, that resistance to the colonizer must be violent.”

An “intifada”—Arabic for “uprising”—refers to a series of Palestinian insurrections within Israel. From 2000-2005, the Second Intifada—known as the <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/background-and-overview-of-al-aqsa-intifada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Al-Aqsa Intifada</a>,”—claimed over 1,100 lives. During this period, terrorist groups like Hamas deployed <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/comprehensive-listing-of-terrorism-victims-in-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suicide bombers and gunmen to target civilians in crowded areas to maximize casualties</a>.

In a separate piece, Dr. Alam again praises suicide bombers, <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/04/03/thomas-friedman-s-lies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">writing that they seek to become martyrs in order to bring “honor” to their nation:</a>

“The Oxford English dictionary defines a suicide as “one who dies by his own hand.” This definition is clearly inadequate. In the absence of a motive, we cannot distinguish between (i) a person who takes his life because he wants to die and (ii) a person who takes his life because this will save her soul-or her honor, her family, her friends, her community, or her country. The first suggests suicide; the latter is ordinarily regarded as a martyr. Judge for yourself then whether the Palestinians are suicides or martyrs.” 

This is not a solitary instance of which Dr. Alam has sought to justify Islamic terrorism. In an article from 2004, he <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2004/12/29/seeking-parallels/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">compared the 9/11 hijackers to America’s Founding Fathers</a>. 

“The colonists had a dream worth pursuing. They were prepared to die for this dream ­and to kill. They did: and they won…On September 11, 2001, nineteen Arab hijackers too demonstrated their willingness to die — and to kill — for what they believed was their dream. They died — so they thought — because they wanted their people to live, free and in dignity.” 

The prior year, Dr. Alam wrote that <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2003/01/02/why-9-11-and-why-now/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the attacks themselves were not in any way unique, and in fact, paled in comparison to the atrocities committed by the United States</a>.

“[The 9/11]  attacks pales into insignificance when compared to the worst terrorist acts perpetrated by states, not excluding United States, over the past five-hundred years.”

In further articles, Dr. Alam depicts Jews in explicit, antisemitic terms. He accuses Jews of using their religion to justify genocide, manipulating the media, possessing dual loyalty, citing the Holocaust for sympathy, and directing America to launch foreign wars on Israel’s behalf:

- One article for CounterPunch decries <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2003/04/05/israelization-of-the-united-states/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Jewish money” swaying elections on behalf of Israel.</a>

- Another piece <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2009/08/21/zionism-an-quot-abnormal-quot-nationalism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accuses Jews of seeking to “compensate” for the absence of a messiah</a> by launching a colonial, genocidal project in Palestine with the assistance of American Christians.

- One accuses <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2010/12/07/unvarnished-truths-about-the-us-and-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jewish organizations of policing and directing the media to proliferate “Israeli lies.”</a>

- Dr. Alam’s book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0230614841/thewisdomfund?pldnSite=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israeli Exceptionalism</a>, accuses <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/zionisms-destabilizing-force-israeli-exceptionalism-reviewed/3569" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jews and Zionists of partnering with the Nazis</a> prior to World War 2.

- The same book describes <a href="http://www.twf.org/News/Y2010/0623-Review.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">neoconservatives as a “mostly Jewish elite” who shape America’s institutions for Israel’s benefit</a>.

- Yet another article accuses <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2003/02/19/israel-s-proxy-war/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Jews and Israel of directing the United States to invade Iraq</a> to distract the world from their alleged genocide of the Palestinians.

- Dr. Alam goes so far as to accuse <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/04/18/a-colonizing-project-built-on-lies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jews of weaponizing the Holocaust</a> to elicit sympathy and distract the world from their own human rights abuses.

- In an op-ed for the Egyptian state-owned newspaper Al-Ahram, Dr. Alam <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070601183749/http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2007/846/op5.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accuses Jews of using their Judaism—or what he mocks as their “chosenness” by God—to excuse racism and ethnically cleanse Palestine</a>.

Rather than hide or justify his views, Dr. Alam seems delighted by accusations of antisemitism. In a leaked lecture, Dr. Alam can be heard advising students to wear allegations of antisemitism “as a badge of honor.”

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.”

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

Hubbard utilizes his research on pederasty to buoy his advocacy for lowering the federal legal age for sexual consent.

Hubbard made the distinction, in a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200216112913if_/https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wGGrODNSdwudrF1G4uerU2DsRxcSx3DR1Nbn6JOd7ho/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">now-deleted google document</a>, that he was speaking on behalf of pederasty and not pedophilia. He continues in the Doc by extolling several nations for having age-of-consent laws that were lower than the United States.

Hubbard’s work has been distributed and used by <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2019/12/17/ut-students-protest-professors-house-over-his-writings-on-sexual-relations-between-men-and-boys/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">groups like the North American Man/Boy Love Association</a> (NAMBLA), which advocates for the abolishment of age-of-consent laws between children and adults.

The University of Texas-Austin’s administration reaffirmed Hibbard’s right to <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/students-want-thomas-hubbard-fired-for-work-on-pederasty-but-university-of-texas-says-its-protected-speech" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“explore controversial and offensive ideas</a>.” As of December 2020, <a href="https://www.statesman.com/story/news/education/2020/07/23/ut-professor-accused-of-promoting-pedophilia-sues-student-for-libel/42515639/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hubbard is suing a student and 10 others for libel</a> after they distributed flyers labeling him a pedophile.
UPDATE 
A university spokeswoman has informed the Professor Watchlist team that Thomas Hubbard is no longer employed at the University of Texas. As stated in their response, Dr. Hubbard announced his retirement in July of 2021 and is no longer associated with the University in any capacity.

Despite their written statement, <a href="https://cola.utexas.edu/european_studies/people/faculty/thubbard">Dr. Hubbard was still listed on the university website</a> as a professor in the Center for European Studies at the time of the university's letter

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>.

&nbsp;

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.

In an interview with MSNBC, Brennan <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/watch/fmr-cia-dir-brennan-republicans-will-continue-to-gaslight-the-country-101798469719" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remarks</a> that many conservatives make him “embarrassed to be a white man.”

&nbsp;

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 href="https://www.religion.ucsb.edu/people/student/timothy-snediker/">Timothy Snediker</a> works in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He first rose to notoriety for tweeting about his desire to assassinate Jesus Christ.

Snediker’s animosity towards Christ stems from his belief that the concepts of the individual and capitalism, both of which he opposes, arose out of Christianity during the enlightenment in Europe.

In the <a href="http://jcrt.org/religioustheory/2016/05/18/theodicy-of-money-the-scene-and-subject-of-forgiveness/">Theodicy of Money - The Scene of and Subject Forgiveness</a>, Snediker writes:

“Against the standard left critique of capitalism, which presupposes a certain secularism and a certain atheism, one must rather grapple with the peculiar verve of a comment made by Giorgio Agamben: “God did not die; he was transformed into money...To the identity of Christianity and capitalism corresponds the identity of God and money….Today, it is simply not enough to be an atheist, because, in the last instance, everyone believes in money." 

As written in <a href="https://jcrt.org/archives/14.1/snediker.pdf">The Autonomy of the Now</a>, he further expands on his position:

“Our hypothesis is that, under the brutal conditions of global capitalist hegemony, resistance necessitates the affirmation of the intrinsic instability and artificiality of identity…”

“...resistance to power necessitates a two-fold refusal of the authority and sovereignty of both Christianity and Secularism…”

“Secularization is the strategic means by which the West (which is to say, Christendom, or European colonialism, or, simply, Christianity) effects its accumulations, its appropriations, and its dominations.....Christianity’s hegemony has not waned; it has metamorphosed and Metastasized."

“Christianity is the identitarian religion par excellence: it ceaselessly works to individualize, legitimate and commoditize one’s identity....this is how Christianity was constituted as a privileged instrument of power”

“Resistance to power necessitates, therefore, a restoration of the autonomy of the now, which in turn requires a two-fold counter-strategy: one the one hand, an acceptance of the instability of identity and the concurrent affirmation of our becoming-other; on the other hand, a refusal of power, which, in the era of global capitalism amounts to a critique of the secular, or, again, a critique of Christianity. “

"Our imperative is to join the struggle for subjectivity, to struggle to speak truthfully about ourselves, to discover that relation to the outside which allows us, in accordance with Nietzsche’s injunction, to become what we are—to become, in a word, anti-Christian."

Snediker’s vitriol towards Christianity exploded when asked what he would do if he could travel 2000 years back in time, he <a href="https://twitter.com/realBenLeBlanc/status/1287809540373778434">tweeted</a>:

“Easy. I would find and assassinate Jesus of Nazareth.” 

He then proceeded to double-down, tweeting:

“Theologically speaking, it would be really important to get him before his calling and ministry begins, so that gives me roughly a decade to make it to Palestine, locate the man, and make my move. I don’t want to be the heroic Judas avant la lettre”

She began the lecture with a Native American “land acknowledgment” and characterized herself as a white, cis female-identifying person who is a “racist in recovery.”

Dr. Bucholtz ended her portion of the lecture by arguing that white students devalue inclusivity because they are uncomfortable with losing their place of privilege. She told teachers that they will need to be ready to “push back against their pushback”.

In another presentation, Dr. Bucholtz stated that she focuses on <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/17ZF8hrFLlfWIU97nshTp_NtG9z1ElDAF/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white linguists because they are the ones who have created, reproduced, and benefited from the racist and exclusionary practices of our discipline, so white people must be the ones to fix it</a>.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Bucholtz for comment but was unable to receive a response as she is on a sabbatical until June 3oth, 2020.

<a href="https://www.chapman.edu/our-faculty/william-omara">William (Liam) O’Mara</a> is a History professor at <a href="https://www.chapman.edu/">Chapman University</a>. In 2020, O’Mara ran for the House of Representatives in California’s 42nd congressional district. O’Mara was briefly a candidate in the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210309010539/https://www.liamomara.org/">2022</a> midterm election.  Upon the release of a <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/500960730/Letter-From-Liam-O-Mara-s-Staffers">letter</a> of condemnation signed by current and former campaign staff, O’Mara <a href="https://twitter.com/LiamOMaraIV/status/1375188858598400001?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1375188858598400001%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thepanthernewspaper.org%2Fpolitics%2Fchapman-professor-quits-congressional-race-following-kkk-tweet-home-invasions">announced</a> that he would no longer seek higher office.
O’Mara describes himself as a scholar on the fascist movement. In a lecture hosted on his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXGTTNnAaffGVo5TZMXhd8g/featured">Youtube</a> page titled <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojR5EVhar0Y&amp;ab_channel=LiamO%27MaraLiamO%27Mara">Neofascist Dogwhistles, </a>O’Mara accuses prominent conservative figures of racist overtures–stating that mainstream conservatives are increasingly embracing white nationalist positions and Nazi-style symbolism.
O’Mara alleges that conservatives utilize “racist dog whistles&#8221; to appeal to racist voters–which he defines as “grievance culture.” O’Mara claims the argument that Americans are equal is a tactic used by neo-fascists and demagogues.  O’Mara also states that the “Trumpist&#8221; movement is “neofascist.”

He specifically alleges President Donald Trump’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sazitj4x6YI&amp;ab_channel=CBSNewsCBSNewsVerified">verbal embrace</a> of the latter is an example of fascism.

<a href="https://www.fredonia.edu/academics/colleges-schools/college-liberal-arts-sciences/philosophy/faculty/Stephen-Kershnar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Stephen Kershnar</a> is a professor in the philosophy department at the State University of New York at Fredonia. Dr. Kershnar’s university profile claims that he has written one hundred articles on topics such as abortion, hell, pornography, sexual fantasies, slavery, and adult-child sex.
Dr. Kershnar is known for his academic attempts to justify controversial stances and illegal acts. Several of his articles include:
&#8211; <a href="https://philpapers.org/rec/KERFTA-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">When torture may be permissible</a>.
&#8211; <a href="https://philpapers.org/rec/KERGTV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why Americans should not be grateful to veterans.</a>
&#8211; <a href="https://philpapers.org/rec/KERTCT-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How morality and responsibility are fictitious concepts</a>.
&#8211; <a href="http://isme.tamu.edu/JSCOPE06/Kershnar06.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why killing civilians in war is justified.</a>
&#8211; <a href="https://philpapers.org/rec/KERALA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why slavery, in of itself, may not be a human rights violation</a>.
In one paper—titled, <a href="https://philpapers.org/rec/KERPAA-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Pedophilia and Adult-Child Sex: A Philosophical Analysis</a>,”— Dr. Kershnar describes moral opposition to pedophilia as “aesthetic.” While acknowledging that many regard “adult-child” relationships as sickening, he states that there exists no clear reason as to whether these judgments are justified or wrong.
In a separate interview, Dr. Kershnar argues that there is nothing immoral about an adult male having a relationship with a “willing” 12-year-old girl.
“Imagine that an adult male wants to have sex with a 12-year-old girl. Imagine that she’s a willing participant. A very standard, very widely held view is that there’s something deeply wrong about this. It’s wrong independent of it being criminalized. It’s not obvious to me that it’s in fact wrong.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
SUNY Fredonia Professor questions the widely held sociteal belief that it’s deeply wrong for an adult man to want to have sex year with a 12 year old girl. <a href="https://t.co/qUAbSexFxp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pic.twitter.com/qUAbSexFxp</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
Continuing, Dr. Kershnar then decries the age of consent. He states that it’s “not quite obvious” that restrictions should apply to adult relationships with children as young as one-year-old. He then states that he does not consider there to be a “blanket wrong” for any age.
“One is even if you are looking for a threshold. Let’s say there’s a threshold. I’m making this number up, but let’s say it’s at age 8. Still, that tells you that some adult-child sex is permissible. Second, the notion that it’s wrong even with a one-year-old is not quite obvious to me…So no, I don’t think there’s a blanket period beyond which this is permissible…but yeah, I don’t think there’s a blanket wrong in any age.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
In the same interview, Dr. Kershnar even claims there may be “evolutionary advantages” to “adult-child sex.”
“I would claim that in evolutionary terms, as best as we can determine, it’s more likely than not there’s a strong evolutionary case for adult-child sex.”

<a href="https://www.fredonia.edu/academics/colleges-schools/college-liberal-arts-sciences/philosophy/faculty/Stephen-Kershnar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Stephen Kershnar</a> is a professor in the philosophy department at the State University of New York at Fredonia. Dr. Kershnar’s university profile claims that he has written one hundred articles on topics such as abortion, hell, pornography, sexual fantasies, slavery, and adult-child sex.

Dr. Kershnar is known for his academic attempts to justify controversial stances and illegal acts. Several of his articles include:
- <a href="https://philpapers.org/rec/KERFTA-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">When torture may be permissible</a>.
- <a href="https://philpapers.org/rec/KERGTV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why Americans should not be grateful to veterans.</a>
- <a href="https://philpapers.org/rec/KERTCT-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How morality and responsibility are fictitious concepts</a>.
- <a href="http://isme.tamu.edu/JSCOPE06/Kershnar06.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why killing civilians in war is justified.</a>
- <a href="https://philpapers.org/rec/KERALA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why slavery, in of itself, may not be a human rights violation</a>.
In one paper—titled, <a href="https://philpapers.org/rec/KERPAA-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Pedophilia and Adult-Child Sex: A Philosophical Analysis</a>,”— Dr. Kershnar describes moral opposition to pedophilia as “aesthetic.” While acknowledging that many regard “adult-child” relationships as sickening, he states that there exists no clear reason as to whether these judgments are justified or wrong.

In a separate interview, Dr. Kershnar argues that there is nothing immoral about an adult male having a relationship with a “willing” 12-year-old girl.

“Imagine that an adult male wants to have sex with a 12-year-old girl. Imagine that she’s a willing participant. A very standard, very widely held view is that there’s something deeply wrong about this. It’s wrong independent of it being criminalized. It’s not obvious to me that it’s in fact wrong.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Continuing, Dr. Kershnar then decries the age of consent. He states that it’s “not quite obvious” that restrictions should apply to adult relationships with children as young as one-year-old. He then states that he does not consider there to be a “blanket wrong” for any age.

“One is even if you are looking for a threshold. Let’s say there’s a threshold. I’m making this number up, but let’s say it’s at age 8. Still, that tells you that some adult-child sex is permissible. Second, the notion that it’s wrong even with a one-year-old is not quite obvious to me…So no, I don’t think there’s a blanket period beyond which this is permissible…but yeah, I don’t think there’s a blanket wrong in any age.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

In the same interview, Dr. Kershnar even claims there may be “evolutionary advantages” to “adult-child sex.”

“I would claim that in evolutionary terms, as best as we can determine, it’s more likely than not there’s a strong evolutionary case for adult-child sex.”

<a href="https://www2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/kennedyhs/staff/directory/">Casey Siddons</a> is an Academy Coordinator and IB teacher at JFK High School in Silver Springs, Maryland.
Addressing students in a Zoom-call call following the January riots in the Nation&#8217;s Capitol, Siddon describes the rioters as “insurrectionists” that have been fed “conspiracy theories” by right-wing outlets like Fox News. Siddons then condemns President Trump&#8217;s cabinet members as “cowards” for refusing to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office. Under the <a href="https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/blog/can-the-cabinet-remove-a-president-using-the-25th-amendment">25th Amendment</a>, the sitting Vice-President and the Cabinet may vote to remove a sitting President from Office if “the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”
Siddons then denies ANTIFA&#8217;s existence to his students stating that they are “not even a real group.” Answering a student who asks whether Trump will try to blame ANTIFA for the riot, he tells his students that Trump and “all the right-wing news organizations” will still try to shift the blame to ANTIFA.

As <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/dhs-leaked-email-confirms-that-antifa-is-an-organized-group">reported</a> byThe Post-Millennial, leaked emails from the Department of Homeland Security show that law enforcement agencies identify ANTIFA as an existing organization that engages in “organized” rather than sporadic violence. Many <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/guns-knives-and-other-weapons-confiscated-from-suspects-at-portland-antifa-riot/">members arm themselves with knives and firearms</a> at protests, which frequently descend into violence. Members of ANTIFA <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/antifa-burn-american-flags-storm-courthouse-portland">attacked</a> a Federal Courthouse in Downtown Portland in March of 2021 and, also <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/us-attorneys-office-in-dc-refuses-to-investigate-attack-on-rand-paul/">reported by The Post Millennial</a>, attacked Senator Rand Paul and his wife in Washington D.C. during the summer of the previous year.
Siddons later states that black men and women “saved our democracy” by electing Senators Warnock and Ossoff in Georgia.

Siddons went on to allege that only one party is standing for democracy based on the events of the prior day.

Siddons then turns his attention to any students in his class who might not think that racism exists in America. Siddon states that a stark difference exists between how the rioters were treated at the Capitol and how black protestors are treated, claiming this contrast as proof that racism still exists in America. Siddons cites how BLM rioters were “tear-gassed by police” during the summer riots of 2020, and characterizes the rioters at the Capitol on January 6 as “allowed” entry into the Capitol by virtue of their skin color.

Siddons then alleges that treating people of color unequally may be traced back all the way to the Reagan Administration.

Siddons then turns his attention to any students in his class who might not think that racism exists in America. Siddon states that a stark difference exists between how the rioters were treated at the Capitol and how black protestors are treated, claiming this contrast as proof that racism still exists in America. Siddons cites how BLM rioters were “tear-gassed by police” during the summer riots of 2020, and characterizes the rioters at the Capitol on January 6 as “allowed” entry into the Capitol by virtue of their skin color.

Siddons then alleges that treating people of color unequally may be traced back all the way to the Reagan Administration.

Peter Beinart

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

<a href="https://www.journalism.cuny.edu/faculty/peter-beinart/">Peter Beinart</a> is a Professor of Journalism and Political Science at the City University of New York. He is known as an active critic of the state Israel, supports the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, and blames Hamas terrorism on the state of Israel.

Beinart has <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/19/opinion/to-save-israel-boycott-the-settlements.html?_r=1&amp;ref=opinion&amp;pagewanted=all">advocated</a> for the BDS movement to serve as a way to influence Israeli policy making. Beinart has gone so far as to suggest sanctions be put on any products made by Israelis in the West Bank. 

While a fierce critic of Israel, Beinart often excuses Islamic terrorism as understandable and morally equivalent counter-reaction to Israel. In fact, he even goes so far in his book, The Crisis of Zionism, to complement the terrorist organization Hamas. He writes, “[Hamas] has in recent years issued several new documents, which are more compatible with a two-state solution.” 

In a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2019/08/19/rich-lowry-peter-beinart-debate-omar-tlaib-israel-trip-sot-lead-vpx.cnn">viral</a> debate with National Review editor Rich Lowry, Beinart was quick to defend Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar after they had been denied entry into Israel on account for their support of the BDS movement. When Lowry pointed out that each were traveling with known extremist groups that support terrorism, Beinart began frantically shouting over Lowry, claiming that terrorism is only response to the violenct Israel perpetrates.

Dr. <a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carol Anderson</a> is the <a href="http://aas.emory.edu/home/people/bios/anderson-carol.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charles Howard Candler Professor and Chair of African American Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.emory.edu/home/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emory University</a> in Atlanta, Georgia. She has ascribed the passage of the Second Amendment to white supremacy, and accused conservatives of trying to make America a “whites only” nation.
Dr. Anderson is the author of, “<a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/the-second" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America</a>.” The book alleges the true purpose of the Second Amendment is the denial of rights to African Americans.
In a subsequent interview with CNN, Dr. Anderson claims the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/30/us/second-amendment-guns-anti-black-anderson-blake/index.html?utm_term=link&amp;utm_source=twCNN&amp;utm_content=2021-06-01T03%3A42%3A56&amp;utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">intention of the right to keep and bear arms was ultimately to empower militias to keep black Americans, “under the boot” of white supremacy</a>. At one point, she claims the second amendment is about “anti-blackness”, or antithetical to the well-being and rights of African-Americans:

She further states that America’s gun culture is fueled by a “fear” of black people and that “anti-blackness” courses through our nation&#8217;s history.
Dr. Anderson first rose to national prominence in 2014 for her Washington Post article attributing the Ferguson Riots to “white rage.”
The unrest stemmed from an altercation involving Michael Brown and police officer Darren Wilson. Brown had been pulled over by Wilson over suspicion of his involvement in a strong-arm robbery in a nearby convenience store. During the stop, witnesses testified that <a href="https://nypost.com/2014/08/19/witnesses-say-ferguson-teen-attacked-cop-before-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brown attempted to grab Officer Wilson’s gun</a> before turning and running away. When ordered to halt, Brown turned and charged Officer Wilson, who then fatally shot Brown in self-defense.
Although Wilson was later exonerated for his actions,<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hands-up-dont-shoot-makes-wapos-list-of-outlandish-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Black Lives Matter activists promoted the false narrative that Brown was shot with his hands up while attempting to surrender.</a> After a grand jury declined to indict Officer Wilson, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2850383/A-town-ravaged-anger-pictures-extent-damage-buildings-Ferguson.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rioters and looters burned stores and restaurants across the city of Ferguson</a>, Missouri.

Daniel F. Liefwalker is a<a href="https://ohsu.pure.elsevier.com/en/persons/daniel-liefwalker" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> research assistant professor</a> at Oregon Health &amp; Science University. His areas of interest include molecular and medical genetics. He has penned a few publications related to DNA and genetic coding.
When he isn’t teaching or in the lab researching genetics, he can be found rioting with ANTIFA. In August of 2020, Liefwalker was <a href="https://rosterhome.blogspot.com/2020/08/daniel-leafwalker-arrested-in-multnomah.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested around 3am</a> for trespassing in Portland, which is a class C misdemeanor. He was arrested alongside 23 other ANTIFA rioters. The “protest” turned violent when a man was spotted trying to light the city hall building on fire, and other ANTIFA rioters were throwing items at police officers. He was released on his own recognizance, and additional information regarding the court case is not currently available.
As reported by <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/dhs-leaked-email-confirms-that-antifa-is-an-organized-group" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Post-Millennial</a>, leaked emails from the Department of Homeland Security show that law enforcement agencies identify ANTIFA as an organization that engages in “organized” rather than sporadic violence.

<a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/07/30/24-people-killed-george-floyd-riots-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to The Daily Caller</a>, at least 24 people died during ANTIFA riots in the two-month span after George Floyd’s death.
