On his <a href="https://twitter.com/rodneycwilson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter account</a>, Wilson boasts about his homosexual lifestyle which led to him founding LGBTQ History Month while teaching in the <a href="https://www.schoolboardwatchlist.org/districts/mehlvilleschooldistrict" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mehlville School District</a>.

Wilson also linked to the news special, “<a href="https://youtu.be/sNW4CBpj8HY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taboo Teacher</a>,” which covers his alleged struggle with teaching as a gay person.

In October 2023, an LGBTQ publication, Reckon News, featured Wilson in the <a href="https://www.reckon.news/lgbtq/2023/10/meet-rodney-wilson-the-gay-teacher-who-championed-national-lgbtq-history-month.html">article</a>, “Meet Rodney Wilson, the gay teacher who championed <a href="https://lgbthistorymonth.com/">National LGBTQ History Month</a>.” The commentary covers Wilson’s success in establishing the observance of LGBTQ Month with the <a href="https://www.thetaskforce.org/">National Gay &amp; Lesbian Task Force</a>. The Reckon News author wrote:
“[I]n 1994, [Wilson] was a 29-year-old teacher of American history and American government at Mehlville High School. He realized that even his curriculum’s 800-page history textbook fell short of any queer history … Today, he wants LGBTQ history to exist outside of a closet.”
In the March 2024 Reckon<a href="https://www.reckon.news/lgbtq/2024/03/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-pride-flag-ban-at-us-embassies-and-why-it-matters.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> interview</a>, “What you need to know about the Pride flag ban at US embassies and why it matters,” the publication stated:
“[Wilson] … believes that Pride flags make a statement everywhere — especially outside the U.S. ‘The LGBTQ+ community should be as free and as equal as all other citizens,’ he tells Reckon. He added that flying such a flag in Moscow, for example … ‘is a crucial way the U.S. can demonstrate its solidarity with the LGBTQ community in Russia.’ For Wilson, exemplifying Pride internationally can be a way for the U.S. to lead queer and trans activism by example.”

Published &#8211; December 12, 2024
Since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack against Israel that left 1,200 people dead, several protests have erupted at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). 
During the September 2024 riot, UNC students staged a pro-Palestine “walkout” that resulted in several thousands of dollars in vandalism and property damage. According to <a href="https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/orange-county-news/disruption-vandalism-on-uncs-campus-after-walk-out-for-pro-palestinian-protests-officials/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one report</a>, nearly 150 people gathered to protest on the Wilson Library steps. Event promoters and sponsors were identified as the UNC Students for Justice for Palestine and TransparUNCy Graduate Students for the Liberation of Palestine.
Angry crowd members stormed into campus buildings yelling and disrupting classes and business operations. Protestors raised a Palestinian flag and used spray paint and permanent markers on the buildings. 
Additional protests and clashes with law enforcement include the following reports (available at the end of this post):
<ul>
<li><a href="https://youtu.be/BQvYX7EmaXE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WRAL News</a>: UNC System considering standard protest policies for all campuses (12/16/2024)</li>

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

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

The previous spring, Broderick called for all students and faculty to boycott Israel as part of the BDS campaign.

BDS—short for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions—supporters embrace 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.
In an op-ed, Broderick <a href="https://www.algemeiner.com/2021/08/03/more-anti-israel-hatred-infests-the-university-of-north-carolina/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused Israel of ethnic cleansing via “colonial settler-violence”</a> and urged the UNC community to boycott all Israeli products. <a href="https://www.jadaliyya.com/Details/31063/Over-100-Middle-East-Studies-Scholars-and-Librarians-Call-for-the-Boycott-of-Israeli-Academic-Institutions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">She is also a signatory to a 2014 resolution calling for a boycott of Israeli universities.</a>

After purging many of her original tweets, Broderick announced a return to Twitter at the end of 2021. Blaming her absence on “hasbara targeting”—used as a euphemism to accuse Jews of spreading propaganda on behalf of Israel—Broderick remained unrepentant and vowed to continue agitating on behalf of Palestine.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
After a semester of sustained hasbara targeting, I am back! The experience has only enhanced my commitment to agitate for the liberation of all Indigenous and colonized peoples. I owe everything to my comrades and partners who stood with me.
Then, now, forever: Free Palestine.

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

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

The authors put forth the following goal to resolve what they deem to be the lessening of diversity and equity caused by COVID-19:
“For starters, every institution must acknowledge the problem and openly address what can appear invisible and ignored to those of us living in this reality. The academy risks emerging from this pandemic with less diversity and gender equity than before unless we change course. The first step is initiating a conversation and listening. Once people have a space to talk openly about their challenges, a lot of problem solving and solutions naturally emerge.”\

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

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

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/elspeth-wilson.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elspeth M. Wilson</a> is an Assistant Professor of Government at Franklin &amp; Marshall University. According to her faculty profile, Wilson’s “scholarship focuses on U.S. citizenship, civil rights, constitutional interpretation, and American political development. She is particularly interested in the problem of civic inequality in the United States and its connection to immigration policy and reproductive law.

Ruha Benjamin serves as the <a href="https://aas.princeton.edu/people/ruha-benjamin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Director of Graduate Affairs and a Professor for the Department of African American Studies</a> at Princeton University. Her university profile says she “specializes in the interdisciplinary study of science, medicine, and technology with a focus on the relationship between innovation and social equity.” 
Professor Benjamin is the author of several publications including a book titled “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Race_After_Technology/G6-hDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code</a>.” The book explores how “emerging technologies can reinforce White supremacy and deepen social inequity.”
The introduction contains a section called Race as Technology where she states that technology is “designed to separate, stratify, and sanctify the many forms of injustice experienced by members of racialized groups, but one that people routinely reimagine and redeploy to other ends.”

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

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>

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

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

According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/">The Federalist</a> found, “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

&nbsp;

In separate Twitter posts, Dr. Taylor has condemned capitalism as being inherently exploitative while promoting the merits of socialism.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
There is no good US capitalism. The so called golden age of capitalism relied on shackling women to the home, bolting LGBT people in the closet, restricting immigration to Europeans, &amp; segregating Black people into resource starved enclaves. Capitalism has always been the problem

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Dr. Taylor’s positive view on socialism extends to the embrace of communist dictatorships. While attending the “This is Socialism!” conference in 2017, Dr. Taylor delivered a speech that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndSASqMLYMg&amp;ab_channel=WeAreManyMedia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">praised the Russian Revolution</a> for its inspiration towards American communists and "revolution" against capitalism.

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

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.

Her university profile says she “specializes in the interdisciplinary study of science, medicine, and technology with a focus on the relationship between innovation and social equity.” 

Professor Benjamin is the author of several publications including a book titled “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Race_After_Technology/G6-hDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code</a>.” The book explores how “emerging technologies can reinforce White supremacy and deepen social inequity.”

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.”

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

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

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

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

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

 	<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.”

“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.”

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.”

“The ongoing Israeli assault upon the Gaza Strip must be stopped … The international community must force Israel, Hamas, and all parties to the conflict to adhere strictly to the letter of international law, first and foremost by putting an immediate and complete halt to the unchecked collective punishment currently being deployed against Palestinians in Gaza.” 
The writers further claimed there is a “widespread dehumanization and erasure of Palestinian life in the United States” and that students who voice support for Palestinians are “continuously subjected to harassment, intimidation, imperiled job prospects, and threats to their personal safety.”

“We find it unacceptable, however, that Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students were not and have not been accorded a similar show of respect and care. We call upon the University administration to do everything in its power to ensure that all Princetonians are recognized and feel safe and seen in this moment of accelerating grief, horror, and outright danger.”

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

“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.”

“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://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).

Matthew Gabriele is a <a href="https://liberalarts.vt.edu/departments-and-schools/department-of-religion-and-culture/faculty/matthew-gabriele.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of Medieval Studies </a>and Chair of the Department of Religion and Culture at Virginia Tech. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses, including Apocalyptic Theories, Religion and Violence, and Game of Thrones: The Medieval and the Modern. He has also penned many publications for outlets such as CNN, the Washington Post, TIME, and Teen Vogue. He often writes about history and how conservatives alter historical events to make themselves sound better.
<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/05/03/historical-analogies-covid-fascism-mccarthyism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In an article for the Washington Post</a>, Dr. Gabriele accuses conservatives of making “bad analogies” in order to combat anyone asking them to “reflect on their words or actions.” As an example, he alleges that the political-right compares mask mandates and Covid-19 vaccination cards to the yellow stars the Nazis forced the Jewish to wear during the Holocaust in order to pretend to be a “new persecuted minority.”
Dr. Gabriele does, however, support the analogy that detention facilities for illegal immigrants at the border under conservative leadership are the same as concentration camps during the holocaust.

During the Holocaust, Nazis illegally forced legal citizens of a specific religion, political affiliation, or ethnicity into <a href="https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/concentration-camps-1933-39" target="_blank" rel="noopener">concentration camps,</a> where many were ultimately executed. <a href="https://www.ice.gov/detain/detention-management" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Immigration detention facilities</a> in the United States at the southern border were installed in order to keep those entering the country illegally in one place until they speak with an immigration judge to determine if they can stay in the U.S. or if they will be sent back home.

Mrs. Crystal Duncan Lane is an instructor in the <a href="https://liberalarts.vt.edu/departments-and-schools/department-of-human-development-and-family-science.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Human Development and Family Science</a> at <a href="https://vt.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virginia Tech University</a>.

In the syllabus of her Development 1134 class—<a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=18143" target="_blank" rel="noopener">obtained by Campus Reform</a>—Mrs. Duncan Lane apologizes to her students of color for her “whiteness” and invites her white students to confront their “innate racism.”

In a section of the syllabus titled, “Who I Am,” Mrs. Duncan Lane describes herself as a, “Caucasian, cisgender female,” who is “married to a cisgender male.” She further laments the “injustice” of arbitrarily receiving various “privileges” throughout her life.

“I am a Caucasian cisgender female and first-generation college student from Appalachia who is of Scottish, British, and Norwegian descent. I am married to a cisgender male, and we are middle class. While I did not “ask” for the many privileges in my life: I have benefited from them, and will continue to benefit from them, whether I like it or not. This is injustice.” 

Mrs. Lane then vows to work on a “daily basis” to confront her own racism in order to be fully antiracist,

“I want to be better: Every day. I will transform. Every day. This world terrifies me: Every day. I invite my white students to join me on this journey. And to my students of color: I apologize for the inexcusable horrors within our shared history.” 

The full syllabus may be viewed on <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=18143" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform’s full report on Mrs. Duncan Lane</a>.

Mrs. Duncan Lane describes her teaching style as striving to create “<a href="https://teaching.vt.edu/grantsandawards/teaching-awards/crystal-duncan-lane.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a safe space where students can exist without shame or embarrassment</a>.” She further vows to use preferred pronouns and “living names” in the classroom, stating, “it is my intention to respect and honor chosen or living names and pronouns: If I make a mistake regarding either, I welcome correction. It is also my intention to demonstrate that I respect my students and their whole being.”

A “living name” is the identity adopted by a transgender man or woman, as opposed to a “deadname,” which Merriam-Webster defines as, “<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1-r090gSB7QRhK_5FSZxnHnlDccNMAjwJassWMF45mwk/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the name that a transgender person was given at birth and no longer uses upon transitioning</a>.” New York Times reporters that have recently transitioned are <a href="https://www.thewrap.com/new-york-times-guild-trans-journalists/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">currently lobbying the paper to retroactively change bylines and delete their old “deadnames.</a>” Many trans-activists consider the <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/deadnaming-a-trans-person-is-violenceso-why-does_b_58cc58cce4b0e0d348b3434b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">use of their deadnames—also referred to as “deadnaming”—as physical acts of violence</a>.
UPDATE 
Mrs. Duncan Lane is no longer teaching two of her four classes, including Human Development 1134, during the Fall 2021 Semester. In a statement by the head of the Department of Human Development and Family Science—and obtained by Campus Reform— April Few-Demo announced that due to a “special circumstance”<a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=18314"> Mrs. Duncan Lane would no longer be teaching the course</a> for the remainder of the year.

Matthew Gabriele is a <a href="https://liberalarts.vt.edu/departments-and-schools/department-of-religion-and-culture/faculty/matthew-gabriele.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of Medieval Studies </a>and Chair of the Department of Religion and Culture at Virginia Tech. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses, including Apocalyptic Theories, Religion and Violence, and Game of Thrones: The Medieval and the Modern. He has also penned many publications for outlets such as CNN, the Washington Post, TIME, and Teen Vogue. He often writes about history and how conservatives alter historical events to make themselves sound better.

<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/05/03/historical-analogies-covid-fascism-mccarthyism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In an article for the Washington Post</a>, Dr. Gabriele accuses conservatives of making “bad analogies” in order to combat anyone asking them to “reflect on their words or actions.” As an example, he alleges that the political-right compares mask mandates and Covid-19 vaccination cards to the yellow stars the Nazis forced the Jewish to wear during the Holocaust in order to pretend to be a “new persecuted minority.”

Dr. Gabriele does, however, support the analogy that detention facilities for illegal immigrants at the border under conservative leadership are the same as concentration camps during the holocaust.

During the Holocaust, Nazis illegally forced legal citizens of a specific religion, political affiliation, or ethnicity into <a href="https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/concentration-camps-1933-39" target="_blank" rel="noopener">concentration camps,</a> where many were ultimately executed. <a href="https://www.ice.gov/detain/detention-management" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Immigration detention facilities</a> in the United States at the southern border were installed in order to keep those entering the country illegally in one place until they speak with an immigration judge to determine if they can stay in the U.S. or if they will be sent back home.

<a href="https://socy.umd.edu/facultyprofile/ray/rashawn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rashawn Ray</a> is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Maryland (UMD). Ray’s faculty profile says he “leads [UMD]’s Social Justice Alliance in collaboration with Bowie State University as well as the Anti-Black Racism Initiative housed in the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences.”
In May 2020, Ray co-authored a <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/care-act-caste-act-jesse-jackson-rainbow-coalition-1502605" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Newsweek op-ed</a> titled “The CARES Act Risks Becoming a Caste Act. Here’s How We Change That” to highlight an alleged disproportionate amount of black Americans affected by the pandemic. Ray et al. wrote:
“Black people are over three times more likely to die from COVID-19 than other racial groups…While everyone in America is facing hardships, these hardships collide on the bodies of black Americans in ways that are more substantial and longer lasting.’’
Ray et al. concluded by stating:
“To date, the United States has spent over $3 trillion on COVID-19 relief. Similar to the end of the Civil War and The Great Depression, the most oppressed and vulnerable Americans—black Americans—are being cast to the side and used as guinea pigs.”
In October 2023, Ray was featured in <a href="https://pittnews.com/article/183483/news/rashawn-ray-discusses-policing-implicit-bias-at-africana-studies-event/#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Pitt News</a> after participating in a webinar titled “Rotten Trees: Racism and Bad Apples in American Policing.” Ray was quoted saying, “‘Implicit bias is deeply embedded in organizational culture and leads to structurally imposed racial disparities.”
The Pitt goes on to emphasize Ray’s claims that “studies and statistics demonstrate how policing disproportionately affects black people” and that “approximately 70,000 of all people stopped by police in 2011 were black, 56% of these stops involved frisks and only about 2% of stops led to the discovery of contraband…” Ray further claimed, “These statistics are about ‘blackness’ not compliance.”
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtkmREGvtiM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a similar webinar discussion</a>, Ray used the following graph as an example of how police officers have racially profiled black Americans for the last two decades:

Her faculty profile says, “Dr. Tambe is a scholar of transnational South Asian history who focuses on the relationship between law, gender, and sexuality. She is also the Editorial Director of <a href="https://www.feministstudies.org/home.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Feminist Studies</a>, the oldest journal of interdisciplinary feminist scholarship in the United States.”

<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Defining-Girlhood-India-Transnational-Maturity-ebook/dp/B081JQQLKX/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XWJWVVP9KFFJ&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.kgw37bJcX_xfYQjs5Tv8kg.CC4PMau89w_XcZ-qvCr4dEVPlZgjVc02HRvroaj47Z4&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=defining+girlhood+in+india&amp;qid=1722029284&amp;sprefix=defining+girlhood+in+india%2Caps%2C119&amp;sr=8-1&amp;asin=B081JQQLKX&amp;revisionId=59439648&amp;format=3&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In her book</a> titled “Defining Girlhood in India: A Transnational History of Sexual Maturity Laws,” Tambe answers the question, “At what age do girls gain the maturity to make sexual choices.” She claimed the book “focuses on legal standards for sexual maturity for girls in India and explores how and why these standards changed over the course of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.” (The age of consensual sex in India is 18.)

In the introduction, she said:
“Strong views dictate the ages at which one can consent to sexual activity, or marry, or transact in sexual services … Sexual age laws are complex matters largely because they are meant to signal social standards for sexual maturity. Age is usually a blunt metric for measuring such maturity … Like legal standards on other sexual practices, such as same-gender marriage and widow remarriage, the age of marriage has come to serve as an index of moral hierarchies among nations.” 
In an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCNIVtu_hv0&amp;t=147s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview with CGTN America</a>, Tambe discussed “rape culture” and levels of sexual violence among men. At one point, she appeared to suggest that women may play a role in these assaults, stating:
“I think the problem is also not one that is exclusive to men. Actually, I think people in general — women, mothers, mothers-in-law — do enforce certain ideas about what it means to be honorable, what it means to be respectable, notions of how to conduct oneself in public that are actually a part of the problem. So, I would also argue that we shouldn’t just be pointing fingers at men.”

Tambe et al. said:
“We put the finishing touches on this book during a moment of remarkable civil protests against anti-[b]lack violence. The unprecedented scale of multiracial public demonstrations across large cities and rural areas in the United States revealed a swell in support for dismantling systemic racism … These protests also took place amid the raging COVID-19 pandemic, an experience that has underscored a sense of connectedness across hierarchies of geopolitics.”

<a href="http://www.medschool.umaryland.edu/profiles/Younus-Faheem/">Dr. Faheem Younus</a> is a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Maryland. Dr. Younus became infamous for his comments on social media regarding the Charleston shooting. He blamed the shooting on former sniper Chris Kyle as well as Fox News, for creating a 'culture' that encourages mass shooting.

<a href="https://merrill.umd.edu/directory/deneen-brown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeNeen Brown</a> is an Associate Professor of Journalism at the University of Maryland who has vowed to leave America over systemic racism and oppression.

In a Washington Post op-ed—titled, “<a href="https://archive.ph/Kxlhi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Case for Leaving America to Escape Racism</a>”—Dr. Brown reveals that she grew up in the black power movement as she “never really felt at home in America." She then recounts an alleged racial incident in elementary school in which she describes her white classmates as “oppressors” and vows never to internalize their racism.

This would later inspire her work as a journalist to document racism and Black people whom she claims still suffer under “economic, political, and cultural oppression.” This is reflected in another article in which Dr. Brown alleges that <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/08/08/modern-day-mississippi-lynchings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racially-motivated lynchings are a regular occurrence, but provides no evidence to verify her claims</a>.

Dr. Brown explains she began looking for a new place to live abroad after state legislators across the county banned teaching critical race theory in schools. Further citing her concern over the eruption of “racist terror” embodied by January 6th “insurrectionists,” Dr. Brown expresses a desire to live in a country without “entrenched racism” where she has the freedom “to move among people who look like me.”

Dr. Brown further expresses a desire to live in a place where she will not have to discuss her nation’s racism. In a previous Washington Post op-ed, she lamented how<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/06/17/black-people-are-tired-trying-explain-racism/?itid=ap_deneenl.brown" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> black people at large are “exhausted” over explaining racism to white people</a>. In separate tweets, she further explains the burden of racism must be placed at the feet of white society and urges others to study radicals like Che Guevara to learn how to do so.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Racism should not be the BURDEN of Black people to always explain. That burden should be placed on society, institutions and individuals who promote racism. Our history is full of Black leaders who’ve been trying to explain it since our ancestors landed on these shores in 1619. <a href="https://t.co/CdTdTioRU0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/CdTdTioRU0</a>

Comparing her fight against racism to “punching a brick wall,” she concludes that it’s far easier to leave the country entirely, as she can no longer stand being a black person walking through “white institutions.”

<a href="https://sllc.umd.edu/directory/tatiana-chi-miranda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tatiana Chi-Miranda</a> is a Ph.D. Student and Spanish teacher at the University of Maryland, College Park. 

During an interview with <a href="https://dbknews.com/2022/11/21/umd-spanish-professors-add-anti-racism-curriculum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Diamondback</a>, Chi-Miranda explained how she incorporates anti-racism into her curriculum. Although her Spanish language classes focus on grammar and composition, she admitted the modules are used to discuss racism and phobias:  

“[This] is a great introduction for the anti-racism module because it allows one to establish a personal connection to the text, but also it allows them to get a critical approach to it. And it opens doors for them to have a critical attitude and cultural approach to it,” 

Chi-Miranda provided one module to The Diamondback in which her students pretend to dislike diversity. She said this was an example of xenophobia  and recited the following line:  

“I don’t want you to make friends with other cultures nor do I want you to enjoy the diversity of the world.” 

A sophomore who was interviewed by Diamondback  praised the initiative, stating that American schools have a “whitewashed curriculum:” 

“I think that’s really important because America has a tendency to leave out certain parts of history in their textbooks and teach a very whitewashed curriculum, so it is really important that Maryland and these professors are acknowledging that we have kind of neglected several important parts of history.”

Chi-Miranda’s comments were delivered in an article featuring six Spanish professors who also integrated anti-racist themes into their courses. One professor, Jose Magro, stated this is part of an attempt to put an end to the “colonized learning” that takes place at the university.

In a substack article titled, “<a href="https://weaponizedspaces.substack.com/p/violent-extremism-in-america-is-a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Violent extremism in America is a far-right phenomenon</a>,” she writes that attacks by right-wing groups are “surging” and outpace left-wing and Islamist violence. Orr further claims that any who suggest otherwise are attempting to distract from the burgeoning connections between extremists and mainstream conservative groups:  

“Violent extremism is overwhelmingly a problem of far-right extremism, not far-left extremism, and it doesn’t help anyone to misrepresent the threat by turning it into a “both sides” issue when the sides are not even close to equal.”

Elsewhere, not only does Orr dismiss the existence of left-wing violence, she attempts to excuse it. In a separate article, titled “<a href="https://medium.com/arc-digital/in-defense-of-antifa-62c699d86dc5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In Defense of Antifa</a>,” she condemns conservatives for attempting to “vilify” the group:

“It’s easy to see why far-right extremists have worked so hard to vilify antifascists, who represent the most consistent opponents of far-right extremism and the most steadfast allies of those targeted by far-right violence.”

At first, Orr denies the existence of Antifa in her article, describing the group only as a “collection of tactics and philosophies.” She then pivots and praises Antifa for their “quieter activities” such as “research, monitoring, and surveillance of far-right extremist groups, community organizing, and advocating for historically marginalized populations.” Orr claims this is needed to stop “white supremacist” groups from organizing. 

Writing that activists must be intolerant of violent or bigoted speech, Orr claims that direct action is necessary to prevent the far-right from organizing. Comparing Antifa to Jews who resisted Nazi occupation, Orr argues that when violence from Antifa occurs, it's committed in the name of “self-defense:” 

“...consider the possibility that some violence is a regrettable but unavoidable part of preventing much greater violence by fascists.”

The Professor Watchlist team reached out to Orr for comment prior to publication. Instead of responding, Orr posted the inquiry on her personal Twitter account and accused the author of committing libel.

<a href="https://sllc.umd.edu/directory/jose-magro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jose L. Magro</a> is a Lecturer at the School of Languages, Literatures, &amp; Cultures at the University of Maryland. His research interests are listed as applied linguistics and critical race theory.  

In an interview with, <a href="https://dbknews.com/2022/11/21/umd-spanish-professors-add-anti-racism-curriculum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Diamondback</a>, Margo explained that he incorporates anti-racism into his curriculum. He stated this is part of an attempt to put an end to the “colonized learning” that takes place at the university. 

His comments were delivered following a presentation titled, “<a href="https://arhu.umd.edu/events/antiracist-pedagogy-spanish-language-teaching-theory-practice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Antiracist Pedagogy for Spanish Language Teaching: From Theory to Practice</a>,” which featured six Spanish and Portuguese teachers and the anti-racist materials from their classrooms. 

A fellow professor, <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/tatianachimiranda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tatiana Chi-Miranda</a>, admitted that although her Spanish language classes focus on grammar and composition, the modules are used to discuss racism and phobias: 

“[This] is a great introduction for the anti-racism module because it allows one to establish a personal connection to the text, but also it allows them to get a critical approach to it. And it opens doors for them to have a critical attitude and cultural approach to it,” 

A sophomore interviewed by the paper praised the initiative, stating that American schools have a “whitewashed curriculum:” 

“I think that’s really important because America has a tendency to leave out certain parts of history in their textbooks and teach a very whitewashed curriculum, so it is really important that Maryland and these professors are acknowledging that we have kind of neglected several important parts of history.”

Her expertise and interests include “Psychosocial Oncology,” “Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA)” and “Health Equity.”

On March 15, 2023, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/professor-arguing-cancer-research-not-antiracist-comment-enough-christabel-cheung" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News featured</a> Cheung in an article titled “Professor argues cancer research not antiracist enough, offers antiracist approaches to patient engagement.” Fox reported, “Cheung’s presentation, ‘Antiracist Patient Engagement in Adolescent &amp; Young Adult Oncology Research and Advocacy,’ cited much of <a href="https://www.ibramxkendi.com/bio">Ibram X. Kendi</a>, the architect of antiracist ideology.”

Fox also said, “Cheung based her definition of antiracism through the lens of Kendi’s work, maintaining the notion that ‘there is no such thing as not being racist…the heartbeat of racism domestically in the United States has been a denial of racism, and the sound of that heartbeat has been the argument, ‘I’m not a racist.’”

<a href="https://youtu.be/AHknFfJHcMQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During the presentation</a>, Cheung further stated: 

“[Kendi] wants us [and] encourages us to take on the perspective that we’re either being antiracist—where we’re promoting equality—or we’re being racist in the sense of working within systems. [You’re] either being complicit or actually supporting racist approaches.” 

In November 2022, <a href="https://ascopost.com/issues/november-10-2022/how-to-advance-antiracist-approaches-to-patient-engagement-in-aya-oncology-and-research/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The ASCO Post</a> featured Cheung in a publication where she also discussed the advancement of antiracist patient engagement with AYA. 

ASCO Post said Cheung “challenges researchers to make progress in engaging [BIPOC] AYAs in clinical studies to close the gaps in knowledge about racial and ethnic minority AYA patients and reduce disparities in their cancer outcomes.”

In response to ASCO’s question “how prevalent is racism in AYA clinical care and research [and] how is it manifested in this patient population?” Cheung said:

“The impact of systemic racism in medicine does not appear to manifest differently by age and starts from the design of the clinical trial. Implicit bias and systemic racism are woven into the fabric of the society we live in. Consequently, we all have some measure of implicit bias or unconscious prejudice that we bring to our work and must make extra efforts to address.”

She further declared,

“Antiracist policies call upon AYA oncology to depersonalize reactions to racism, acknowledge mistakes, and take corrective actions in a timely manner. We can dismantle and reorganize long-established systems in the development and testing of clinical trials, so racism does not continue to persist within these systems.”

“Transgender and gender diverse youth (i.e., children and adolescents whose gender identity and/or expression differs from their sex assigned at birth) are more likely to experience poor health than their peers whose gender identity aligns with their assigned sex at birth (i.e., cisgender youth) due to stigma and marginalization.”
Fish, et al. goes on to say:
“58% of [transgender youth] also report having been prevented from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity…states and schools can implement policies that protect [transgender youth] from these harmful experiences…Ultimately, [transgender youth] show more positive outcomes in school environments that implement and enforce policies and practices that affirm youth’s gender identity and protect them from discrimination.”

<a href="https://socy.umd.edu/facultyprofile/ray/rashawn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rashawn Ray</a> is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Maryland (UMD). Ray’s faculty profile says he “leads [UMD]’s Social Justice Alliance in collaboration with Bowie State University as well as the Anti-Black Racism Initiative housed in the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences.”

In May 2020, Ray co-authored a <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/care-act-caste-act-jesse-jackson-rainbow-coalition-1502605" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Newsweek op-ed</a> titled “The CARES Act Risks Becoming a Caste Act. Here’s How We Change That” to highlight an alleged disproportionate amount of black Americans affected by the pandemic. Ray et al. wrote:
“Black people are over three times more likely to die from COVID-19 than other racial groups…While everyone in America is facing hardships, these hardships collide on the bodies of black Americans in ways that are more substantial and longer lasting.’’
Ray et al. concluded by stating:
“To date, the United States has spent over $3 trillion on COVID-19 relief. Similar to the end of the Civil War and The Great Depression, the most oppressed and vulnerable Americans—black Americans—are being cast to the side and used as guinea pigs.”
In October 2023, Ray was featured in <a href="https://pittnews.com/article/183483/news/rashawn-ray-discusses-policing-implicit-bias-at-africana-studies-event/#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Pitt News</a> after participating in a webinar titled “Rotten Trees: Racism and Bad Apples in American Policing.” Ray was quoted saying, “‘Implicit bias is deeply embedded in organizational culture and leads to structurally imposed racial disparities.”

The Pitt goes on to emphasize Ray’s claims that “studies and statistics demonstrate how policing disproportionately affects black people” and that “approximately 70,000 of all people stopped by police in 2011 were black, 56% of these stops involved frisks and only about 2% of stops led to the discovery of contraband…” Ray further claimed, “These statistics are about ‘blackness’ not compliance.”

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtkmREGvtiM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a similar webinar discussion</a>, Ray used the following graph as an example of how police officers have racially profiled black Americans for the last two decades:

<a href="https://history.umd.edu/directory/david-freund" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Freund</a> is an Associate Professor of History and an Affiliate Associate Professor of American Studies at the University of Maryland (UMD). 

Freund has authored several publications including “Colored Property: State Policy &amp; White Racial Politics in Suburban America”—<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Colored-Property-Politics-Suburban-Historical/dp/0226262766/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1ZCGIPIR168HC&amp;keywords=colored+property+david+freund&amp;qid=1699309383&amp;sprefix=colored+property+david+freund%2Caps%2C119&amp;sr=8-1&amp;asin=0226262766&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a book that examines</a> the racialization of housing developments and property rights. In the chapter titled The New Politics of Race and Property, he wrote:
“There is, nonetheless, considerable disagreement about the role that race per se played in fueling white vigilance. Many argue that while black people were clearly the targets of exclusionary practices, racism played little or no part in whites’ decision-making…
“The disagreement about postwar whites’ motivations is rooted, I argue here, in a conceptual assumption that informs most studies of racial conflict in the modern United States. Most commentaries treat white racism as something unchanging and as conceptually separate from other variables that fuel conflict between groups (including racial groups).”
In July 2023, Freund was featured in an <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/race-change-to-another-trend-online-rcna93759" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News article</a> titled “Inside the online world of people who think they can change their race.” The publication discusses a Ukrainian-born American who “goes by the Japanese name Miyuki and listens to 'subliminals' that promise she will wake up and be Japanese.” 

NBC News further stated, “Freund…corroborates the idea that a ‘biological race’ does not exist [and] the modern concept of race is inseparable from the systemic racial hierarchy hundreds of years in the making. Simply put, changing races is not possible because ‘biological races’ themselves are not real.”

Freund also told NBC that “the idea of changing one’s race operates differently depending on a person’s racial background and that white people who seek to ‘transition’ to other races can often sidestep the harms of racism.”

Freund supports awarding reparations to black Americans as a form of government compensation for past offenses. He told <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/usa_race-america_reparations-can-money-absolve-sins-past/6208006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Voices of America</a>, “We can document systems, policies, also private practices that are constantly reproducing racial inequalities…[a]nd no one has been able to convince me otherwise.”

He also teaches Middle Eastern Studies and publishes works dealing with “public attitudes towards Muslim immigration” and the “Islamist parties’ participation in elections.”
In January 2024, Sinno was featured in the <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty-issues/shared-governance/2024/01/11/indiana-u-sanctions-professor-supporting-pro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inside Higher Ed article</a>, “Indiana U Sanctions Professor Who Advised Pro-Palestinian Students.” Sinno’s guest speaker was pro-Palestinian activist <a href="https://mikopeled.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miko Peled</a>, who has called for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel. According to his website, Peled also advocates for “the creation of one democratic state with equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians” despite the <a href="https://embassies.gov.il/holysee/AboutIsrael/the-middle-east/Pages/The%20Hamas-Covenant.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">genocidal goals</a> of the Palestinian government.
The publication explains how Sinno was temporarily <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CbFlUIN8KXaM-oLB01RcDO_1yAi2ew8n/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspended</a> after “he helped book a room on campus for a November [2023] event hosted by the Palestine Solidarity Committee, a student organization.”
Inside Higher Ed said:
“Sinno booked the event space on November 6 without issue. But on November 15 … [a U.S. representative] sent a strongly worded letter to IU president Pamela Whitten, raising questions about alleged incidents of antisemitism on campus … That evening, Sinno said, his department chair told him to cancel the room reservation because he’d allegedly violated university policy by listing the department as the event sponsor.”
Over 350 faculty have signed an online <a href="https://www.petitions.net/open_letter_in_support_of_professor_abdulkader_sinno" target="_blank" rel="noopener">petition</a> demanding Sinno’s immediate <a href="https://politicalsciencenow.com/apsa-statement-on-indiana-universitys-sanctioning-of-professor-abdulkader-sinno/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reinstatement</a>.

Dr. Caitlin Bernard is a physician affiliated with IU Health and an <a href="https://medicine.iu.edu/faculty/23008/bernard-caitlin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Assistant Professor of Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology at the IU School of Medicine.</a> Dr. Bernard is one of the few doctors in Indiana who has specific training in second-trimester abortions and she <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/28/us/politics/abortion-doctor-caitlin-bernard-ohio.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">performs both surgical and medication abortions several days a month at Planned Parenthood</a> clinincs in Indiana and Kentucky.

On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. Hours after this decision, the state of Ohio outlawed any abortion after six weeks. A few days later, Dr. Bernard gained national media attention for providing an abortion to a 10-year-old girl who was pregnant from rape by an illegal immigrant. The girl traveled from Ohio when she was just over six weeks pregnant.

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita announced that an <a href="https://fox59.com/news/national-world/indiana-attorney-general-threatens-license-of-doctor-who-provided-abortion-to-10-year-old-rape-victim/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investigation into Dr. Bernard had begun</a>, stating:
“Aside from the horror caused by illegal immigration, we are investigating this situation and waiting for the relevant documents to prove if the abortion and/or the abuse were reported, as Dr. Caitlin Bernard had requirements to do both under Indiana law. The failure to do so constitutes a crime in Indiana, and her behavior could also affect her licensure. Additionally, if a HIPAA violation did occur, that may affect next steps as well. I will not relent in the pursuit of truth.” 
Dr. Bernard’s attorney, Kathleen DeLaney, has <a href="https://www.wthr.com/article/news/health/indiana-doctor-who-provided-abortion-for-10-year-old-files-claim-for-damages-against-indiana-ag-caitlin-bernard-todd-rokita/531-b2c2ba9c-ed3e-4600-906c-e7603cc8eb5a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed notice of a tort claim against AG Rokita for defamation.</a> Rokita says that his “comments are supported by facts” but will not provide additional details at this time. As of September 1, Rokita said the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220914171551/https://www.indystar.com/story/news/health/2022/09/14/indiana-attorney-general-todd-rokita-office-declines-to-share-info-on-dr-bernard-complaints/69493958007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investigation was “ongoing.”</a>
&nbsp;
Updated - June 12, 2023
On May 25, 2023, the Indiana Medical Licensing Board reprimanded and fined Dr. Bernard after they determined, in a 4-1 vote, that she <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/med-professor-fined-over-abortion-of-10-year-old-girls-baby/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">violated federal and state patient privacy laws</a>. Dr. Bernard told <a href="https://www.indystar.com/story/news/health/2022/07/01/indiana-abortion-law-roe-v-wade-overturned-travel/7779936001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Indianapolis Star</a> that she was providing an abortion to a 10-year-old from Ohio, prior to seeing the patient.

After Attorney General Todd Rokita filed a complaint against Dr. Bernard in November 2022, the board found her liable on three counts of violating patient privacy laws. During <a href="https://www.wfyi.org/news/articles/caitlin-bernard-violated-patient-privacy-abortion-patient-case#:~:text=May%2025%2C%202023,reprimand%20over%20any%20harsher%20punishment." target="_blank" rel="noopener">the hearing</a>, Deputy Attorney General Cory Voight asked Bernard whether it was true that, had she not spoken to the Star, “we wouldn’t be sitting here today?”

Bernard disagreed, saying, “I think that if the attorney general, Todd Rokita, had not chosen to make this his political stunt, we wouldn’t be here today.”

Attorney General spokesperson Kelly Stevenson counted the board’s decision as a win for patient privacy, commenting, “It’s not right and the facts were presented today that made that very clear.”

However, the board unanimously sided against the attorney general by dismissing two other allegations against Dr. Bernard. <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/26/us/dr-caitlin-bernard-indiana-medical-board-hearing/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a> reports the board determined “she did not violate laws requiring physicians to immediately report suspected child abuse and keep abreast of mandatory reporting and patient privacy laws.”

Dr. Bernard will be fined $3,000 and will receive a letter of reprimand, which agreed to allow her to continue practicing medicine.

Board President Dr. John Strobel said, “I don’t think she expected this to go viral. I don’t think she expected this attention to be brought to this patient.” He added,
“I think she’s a good doctor and I think she’s safe to go back to practice.”

As part of her work with the institute, Professor Thusi <a href="https://deliverypdf.ssrn.com/delivery.php?ID=502127090083070016029094123083082089097086084036020059023084068071008116118082029119033028006123050113058084074003090109014024062005008023034102026108125025084006116021035085100086078121019124067017092122108127109103076092012015089065084025102004005105&amp;EXT=pdf&amp;INDEX=TRUE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote a paper discussing “reality porn,”</a> which she defines as “sexually explicit materials or experiences that are facilitated through online virtual platforms.” She further defines the term by clarifying that these sexual experiences would typically “fit within the legal definition of prostitution in most states because they involve sexual conduct in exchange for a fee - but that are expressive in nature.”

Thusi writes, ”Reality porn is pornographic paid sex work that should be accorded First Amendment recognition, notwithstanding the criminalization of the underlying act of prostitution.” She notes that she has “previously argued that all forms of sex work should be decriminalized” and she extends the same argument to reality porn.
“As long as this conduct is consentable - both consented to in face and consensual in nature - it should not be deprived of constitutional protection.” 
Thusi wrote an op-ed for <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/586608-its-time-to-stop-policing-womens-bodies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hill</a> titled, “It’s time to stop policing women’s bodies.” She believes, “Decriminalized sex work and access to abortion allow women in economic precarity [to] escape destitution.” She also argues:
“Feminists should embrace a definition of sexual freedom that goes beyond the right to prevent reproduction and which focuses on women’s sexual autonomy - including the autonomy to end a pregnancy or to profit from how women use their own bodies.”

Dr. Scott is <a href="https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/2022/07/25/indiana-abortion-laws-could-affect-obstetric-deserts-maternal-mortality/10031897002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pro-abortion</a> and has claimed, “Abortion is not a dirty word. Abortion is a healthcare procedure that can be life-saving for some people.”

After Roe v. Wade was overturned, Dr. Scott was featured in a <a href="https://www.wthr.com/article/news/special-reports/indiana-abortion/indiana-university-school-of-medicine-adjusting-ob-gyn-residency-program-after-abortion-ban/531-8d3a24b8-29a6-48b0-981b-5c0e12ee3819" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WTHR</a> article titled, “IU School of Medicine adjusts OB-GYN residency program after abortion ban.” Dr. Scott stated, “Abortion care training is still a requirement for OB-GYN residents and the new legislation limits that to some degree for our resident doctors.”

Dr. Scott <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/08/10/1116024857/young-obgyns-indiana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims the residents</a> in the program are “devastated” by the Roe v. Wade decision, saying, “They signed up to provide comprehensive health care to women. And they are being told that they can’t do that.”

In response, the program will begin sending residents to Illinois to receive abortion training. However, she says:
“This is not as simple as just showing up in an office and saying, ‘Can I observe?’ This includes getting a medical license for out-of-state trainees. This includes funding for travel and lodging. It adds a lot to what we already do to educate future OB-GYNs.” 
Dr. Scott is concerned that the overturn of Roe v. Wade will affect the quality of candidates that are interested in Indiana University’s School of Medicine. She says “there’s no other specialty that is legislated to the degree that obstetrics and gynecology is,” and <a href="https://www.indystar.com/story/news/health/2022/06/30/indiana-doctors-nurses-medical-students-rally-abortion-rights-downtown/7777837001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims</a>:

According to her university profile, Dr. Neal also serves on a “new board for Planned Parenthood as part of the recent merger between Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky (PPINK) and Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest and the Hawaiian Islands (PPGNHI).”

In February 2023, Dr. Neal became the first Executive Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice and Chief Diversity Officer. According <a href="https://medicine.iu.edu/news/2023/01/chemen-neal-named-ead-deij" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to a press release</a>, Dr. Neal will “work closely with academic, research and clinical leaders across the organization to advance DEIJ strategic priorities for students, trainees, faculty and staff.”

Dr. Neal stated:
“Excellence in diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice elevates all members of our medical school community. As the largest medical school in the country, we have a responsibility to be leaders in health equity and inclusive excellence. To do that, DEIJ must be woven into all aspects of what we do—research, education, patient care, faculty and staff affairs, and community engagement.” 
Her new role <a href="https://www.wfyi.org/news/articles/new-leader-on-diversity-at-iu-school-of-medicine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">will be responsible for a variety of areas</a>, including:
-”Developing and guiding implementation of DEIJ strategic plans”

-”Organizing affinity group, learner development and support programs” 
-”Developing programs to enhance diversity recruitment and retention”
Dr. Neal says some of her early goals in her new role include “establishing metrics to help school leadership gain a greater understanding of key areas like retention and belonging, as well as a focus on the diversification of faculty.”

She says:
“That is a big priority because of the direct relationship to health equity outcomes and organizational success. Meeting this priority will take a multifaceted approach that involves all aspects of our mission from culture to climate to research to education. After we understand where we are then we can make strategic plans for moving forward over the next several years.”

<a href="https://medicine.iu.edu/faculty/9156/rouse-caroline">Dr. Caroline Rouse</a> is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology at the Indiana University School of Medicine. According to her Riley Children’s Health <a href="https://www.rileychildrens.org/find-a-doctor/physician/caroline-e-rouse">profile</a>, Dr. Rouse “is a maternal-fetal medicine specialist with expertise in caring for expectant mothers and their unborn babies.”

In September 2023, Dr. Rouse <a href="https://www.indystar.com/story/opinion/2023/09/01/america-abortion-debate-indiana-is-crossroads-bleak-future/70727114007/">wrote an op-ed</a> with colleague Dr. Sherrine Ibrahim titled, “Indiana is the crossroads of America’s abortion debate and our future is bleak.” The authors condemn Indiana’s August 2023 <a href="https://iga.in.gov/legislative/2022ss1/bills/senate/1/details">abortion law</a>, which criminalizes abortion after 20 weeks and medication abortions after 8 weeks. They argue that “abortion is a critical health care service” and claim exceptions for rape, incest, and to protect the life of the mother are not enough. They state:
“Health care practitioners continue to express that exceptions are too nebulous to follow and apply to actual clinical situations. These laws back us into a corner, forcing us to decide if we are willing to risk large fines, loss of licensure, and even imprisonment in order to provide necessary, life-saving, health care.” 
They conclude their op-ed by writing:
“Decisions regarding pregnancy do not belong in the state Capitol. They belong with patients and their health care practitioners. … If our political leaders allow the abortion ban to stay in place, Indiana’s future is bleak.” 
<a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=23954">Campus Reform</a> reports that Dr. Rouse has previously been accused of “skirting state laws:”
“Voices for Life, a pro-life organization headquartered in South Bend, Indiana, filed a complaint against her on Jan. 23 of this year for performing a pill abortion on a woman who was 21 weeks pregnant, according to a termination of pregnancy report. At the time, state law only permitted pill abortions up to eight week postfertilization.” 
Melanie Lyon, Executive Director of Voices for Life, stated:
“Dr. Rouse advocates for the safety of mothers and children one day, while the next she ends babies’ lives by performing abortions at Riley Maternity Tower. That along with her apparent illegal activity makes her someone the State should hold accountable: not look to for guidance.”

<a href="https://polisci.indiana.edu/about/faculty/sinno-abdulkader.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abdulkader Sinno</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Indiana University Bloomington. He also teaches Middle Eastern Studies and publishes works dealing with “public attitudes towards Muslim immigration” and the “Islamist parties’ participation in elections.”

In January 2024, Sinno was featured in the <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty-issues/shared-governance/2024/01/11/indiana-u-sanctions-professor-supporting-pro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inside Higher Ed article</a>, “Indiana U Sanctions Professor Who Advised Pro-Palestinian Students.” Sinno’s guest speaker was pro-Palestinian activist <a href="https://mikopeled.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miko Peled</a>, who has called for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel. According to his website, Peled also advocates for “the creation of one democratic state with equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians” despite the <a href="https://embassies.gov.il/holysee/AboutIsrael/the-middle-east/Pages/The%20Hamas-Covenant.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">genocidal goals</a> of the Palestinian government.

The publication explains how Sinno was temporarily <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CbFlUIN8KXaM-oLB01RcDO_1yAi2ew8n/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspended</a> after “he helped book a room on campus for a November [2023] event hosted by the Palestine Solidarity Committee, a student organization.”

Inside Higher Ed said:
“Sinno booked the event space on November 6 without issue. But on November 15 … [a U.S. representative] sent a strongly worded letter to IU president Pamela Whitten, raising questions about alleged incidents of antisemitism on campus … That evening, Sinno said, his department chair told him to cancel the room reservation because he’d allegedly violated university policy by listing the department as the event sponsor.”
Over 350 faculty have signed an online <a href="https://www.petitions.net/open_letter_in_support_of_professor_abdulkader_sinno" target="_blank" rel="noopener">petition</a> demanding Sinno’s immediate <a href="https://politicalsciencenow.com/apsa-statement-on-indiana-universitys-sanctioning-of-professor-abdulkader-sinno/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reinstatement</a>.

<a href="https://www.smith.edu/academics/faculty/loretta-ross" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Loretta Ross</a> is the Associate Professor of the Study of Women and Gender at Smith College. Her university profile says she primarily “teaches a course on ‘White Supremacy, Human Rights and Calling In the Calling Out Culture.’”

Ross is also the primary instructor for a class called “<a href="https://www.fivecolleges.edu/courses/SC/2023/FALL/SWG/241/01" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Supremacy in the Age of Trump</a>.” Although President Donald Trump is no longer in office, the class will be taught in Fall 2023. 

The course description says students will “analyze the history, prevalence and current manifestations of the white supremacist movement by explaining ideological components, tactics and strategies and its relationship to mainstream politics.” The stated goal of the course is to “develop the capacity to understand the range of possible responses to white supremacy, both its legal and extralegal forms.” 

In 2021, Ross appeared on a <a href="https://youtu.be/xw_720iQDss" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TED Talk episode</a> titled “Don’t Call People Out—Call Them In.” Referring to mentorship under Civil Rights leader <a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/07/17/892223763/c-t-vivian-civil-rights-leader-and-champion-of-nonviolent-action-dies-at-95" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reverend C.T. Vivian</a> and her research into hate groups, she stated:

“I come to y’all because most black women don’t go to Klu Klux Klan rallies on purpose. I did because it was my job. Mostly, I wanted to work for peace and justice…It became my job to help people who were leaving hate groups…I really want to build a culture and a world that invites people in instead of pushing them out. It’s called a ‘calling-in culture.’”

Ross’s <a href="https://lorettajross.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal website</a> reveals that she’s been a political activist since the 1970s feminist movement. She offers online “Calling In” courses starting at $5.00. The “<a href="https://lorettajross.com/events" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Upcoming Events</a>” page shows Ross also partners with human rights advocates and abortion activists to host speaking events across the United States. 

In July 2022, Ross—who’s also an avid pro-abortion supporter—published an <a href="https://time.com/6193895/hope-after-roe-v-wade-overturned/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion editorial</a> in Time Magazine where she expressed her disdain for the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling. Ross wrote:

“I am shocked that it happened—feminists have warned about this for years—but still, I wasn’t quite prepared for how far they would go, resurrecting the banner of ‘states rights,’ which is the mendacity that sparked the Civil War, threatening precedents regarding LGBTQ rights, access to contraception, and more. But then I also didn’t expect fugitive slave laws to be resurrected for bounty hunters reporting on people obtaining and providing abortions…”

<a href="https://youtu.be/lsOKBLmvqGI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During a talk</a> with Webs Edge Medicine, Ross described “reproductive justice” as a “concept that 12 black women created in Chicago in June 1994.” She further stated that the women were “impatient with the pro-choice, pro-life binary that failed to adequately express what we needed from reproductive politics.”

University of California-Santa Barbara

<a href="http://www.femst.ucsb.edu/people/mireille-miller-young">Dr. Mireille Miller-Young</a> is an Associate Professor of Feminist Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Miller was sentenced to three years’ probation after violently attacking a 16-year-old pro-life activist on campus. She was convicted of assault, theft, and destruction of property, but the University of Santa Barbara never fired her.

<a href="https://www.religion.ucsb.edu/people/faculty/rudy-busto/">Rudy Busto </a>is an Associate Professor at the University of California - Santa Barbara. His work is described as examining how “race structures state and civil society” and how the concept of race structures religion. 

As reported by <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=14987">Campus Reform</a>, Busto recently gave a lengthy presentation to one of his classes at the end of the semester in which he explained in detail why he believes that America is not an exceptional nation. He declared that “history has dispelled the notion of American Exceptionalism,” Busto listed off the reasons why he believed that America was no longer exceptional, including losing the Vietnam War and the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

<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://notthebee.com/article/asked-what-hed-do-if-he-could-go-back-in-time-religion-professor-says-easy-i-would-find-and-assassinate-jesus-of-nazareth">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”

Updated - April 21st, 2022

Dr. <a href="https://www.csusb.edu/profile/dny" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Yaghoubian</a> is a Professor of History at <a href="https://www.csusb.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California State University, San Bernardino</a>. 

In a series of articles and interviews reviewed by the Professor Watchlist team, Dr. Yaghoubian excuses despotic regimes around the world, demonizes the nation of Israel, and praises the terrorist group, Hezbollah. 

During <a href="https://en.mehrnews.com/news/175145/US-led-propaganda-targets-any-govt-that-opposes-US-hegemony" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one interview with Mehr News Agency</a>—an Iranian-based news station <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20061227215730/http://www.adl.org/PresRele/HolocaustDenial_83/4868_83.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">notorious for featuring segments that dispute the veracity of the Holocaust</a>—Dr. Yaghoubian offers high praise for Syrian autocrat, Bashar-al Assad. 

The professor describes him—along with Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro—as a “popularly elected leader” who is unfairly portrayed as a “thug, terrorist, criminal, and often murderer” and is just following his electoral mandate. According to Dr. Yaghoubian, Assad is vilified by Western media in part for his refusal to serve as “lapdogs” for Israeli Zionists.  

Since the Syrian Civil War erupted in 2011, Assad has been accused of <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/10-000-bodies-inside-syrian-president-bashar-al-assads-crackdown-1406315472" target="_blank" rel="noopener">torturing thousands of political dissidents and prisoners of war to death.</a>  Assad <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/27/AR2007052701117.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">further runs unopposed</a> during each election, ensuring victory.  

Dr. Yaghoubian further maligns Israel as an apartheid state that is committing ethnic cleansing of Arabs. Launching into a polemic during an interview for Tehran Times—another Iranian-owned TV station—he states that <a href="https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/460714/Selling-out-Palestine-will-not-result-in-regional-security-and" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gaza is undergoing a “murderous onslaught” by Israel</a>. 

Dr. Yaghoubian further states that Israel forces Gazans to drink poisoned water. He even goes so far as to allege the “Zionist jailers” are placing Gazans on a  caloric-restrictive diet in their “open-air prison.”

Dr. Yaghoubian maintains that Israel directs America’s foreign policy to benefit the “<a href="https://en.irna.ir/news/83255687/US-academic-Pompeo-is-a-Zionist-zealot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promotion of Zionist colonialism</a>” across the Middle East. The same article claims Israel is directing the United States’s foreign policy against the terror organization Hezbollah, whom he praises. 

Founded in 1982, Hezbollah is an Iranian-funded and directed terror organization based in Lebanon that funds itself through drug smuggling <a href="https://centerforsecuritypolicy.org/hezbollah-the-worlds-leading-narco-terrorist-organization/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">with Latin-American cartels and cells in North America</a>. The group is known for<a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/profile/131/hizballah" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> launching terror attacks across the world</a> that have claimed American lives.  

Dr. Yaghoubian urges the United States to recognize Hezbollah as a “natural ally” for stabilizing the Levant. He further lauds the group for its broad domestic support and social services. 

This is not the sole time Dr. Yaghoubian has praised Islamic fundamentalists. While condemning the <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/irans-gen-soleimani-killed-in-airstrike-at-baghdad-airport" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killing of Qasem Soleimani by an American drone strike in January 2020</a>, a subsequent article by the professor praised him as an Iranian hero. 

Soleimani was a General in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)—composed of Iran’s elite military units—until his death. The group was <a href="https://2017-2021.state.gov/u-s-designates-islamic-revolutionary-guard-corps-as-a-foreign-terrorist-organization/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designated as a foreign terrorist organization in 2019</a>.  

As commander of the Quds Force, he was <a href="https://centerforsecuritypolicy.org/qassem-soleimani-ran-ied-program-to-kill-and-maim-us-coalition-troops/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responsible for Iran’s international subversive and terrorist operations</a>. It is estimated that <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/iran-responsible-for-deaths-of-more-than-600-american-troops-in-iraq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the deaths of over 600 Americans in Iraq through roadside bombs</a> may be traced back to Soleimani and the IRGC. 

In an interview following the strike, Dr. Yaghoubian <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220122014610/https://en.abna24.com/news/gen-soleimani-assassination-motivates-axis-of-resistance-to-continue-his-path-us-academic_1215378.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alleges that Soleimani was murdered at the direction of America’s “Zionist pied pipers.”</a> He claims the attack was carried out on behalf of Israel so that Zionists may continue to conduct ethnic cleansing in Palestine. He vows the “craven murder” will only motivate an “axis of resistance” against the United States and urges other nations to follow the “heroic” path of Soleimani and Muhandes, the other IRGC general killed in the strike.    

<a href="https://www.csusb.edu/profile/dny" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to his university profile,</a> his research includes work on Modern-Iran, Iran-US relations, national identity, and minorities in the Middle East. 

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Yaghoubian for comment but has not received a reply by publication.

<a href="https://www.polsci.ucsb.edu/people/christopher-sebastian-parker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christopher Sebastian Parker P.h.D</a>. is a Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara. According to his university profile, his academic specialties are “American Politics, Identity, Race, Ethnicity, [and] Public Opinion.”

In 2013, Parker published a book about the American Tea Party movement called <a href="https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691151830/change-they-cant-believe-in" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Change They Can't Believe In: The Tea Party and Reactionary Politics in America </a>

In the book, Parker draws “connections between the Tea Party and right-wing reactionary movements of the past, including the Know Nothing Party, the Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s, and the John Birch Society,” according to the Princeton University Press overview.

In 2016, Parker <a href="https://prospect.org/power/trump-s-racist-appeals-silver-lining/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote an article</a> for The American Prospect entitled “Do Trump’s Racist Appeals Have a Silver Lining?” Parker cites his claim that Trump is racist on the former President’s <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2015/07/08/donald-trumps-false-comments-connecting-mexican-immigrants-and-crime/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement about immigrants</a> during his 2016 campaign, in which Trump said:​​“They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” 

Parker claims a new racism has emerged to replace the racism of segregation and Jim Crow:  
“With the civil-rights laws that made segregation illegal, and the death of Jim Crow in the South, this old-fashioned racism gave way to a "new racism" built not on laws but on racial stereotypes.”
He also argues ,“Certain code words often accompan[y] this new racism. In the beginning, the term "equal opportunity" was often paired with such code words and phrases as “law and order" and "welfare queen.” 

In a 2020 article called <a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/check-your-patriotism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Check your Patriotism”</a>, Parker states that the African-Americans killed by police officers, such as Sandra Bland and George Floyd,  “were effectively lynched.”

Regarding the Fourth of July, Parker wrote, “this holiday is a sham, a fraud to the 13% of the population whose forebears were slaves. By any metric, Black people remain second-class citizens. Whether it’s life <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4984780/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expectancy</a>, <a href="https://www.abebooks.com/Black-Wealth-White-New-Perspective-Racial/30080054029/bd?cm_mmc=ggl-_-US_Shopp_Trade-_-used-_-naa&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwudb3BRC9ARIsAEa-vUtyzocLl5j6TVm8N2-Jl80c8sU2x6MN9ReTaS5blYnVIvE8Uz5OLygaAg4xEALw_wcB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wealth</a> or achieving a <a href="https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/education-postsecondary/reports/2018/05/23/451186/neglected-college-race-gap-racial-disparities-among-college-completers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">college education</a>, Black people lag behind whites. (I can easily identify other criteria, but space limits recommend otherwise.)”

Yet, in the following paragraph of the article, he claims that the solution “to get the country on the right track”, is patriotism, which requires sacrifice and “commitment to the values on which the country is founded: freedom, equality, tolerance.” He claims patriotism was the motivation behind previous American progressive movements like “the women’s movement, labor movement and the civil rights movement.”

<a href="https://www.blackstudies.ucsb.edu/people/omiseeke-tinsley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Omise’eke Tinsley</a> is Chair and Professor of Black Studies at the University of California - Santa Barbara. 

Tinsley’s faculty profile says she is “motivated by love for boundless black femme creativity, [and] her research focuses on queer and feminist, Caribbean and African American performance and literature.” In 2022, she penned a manuscript titled “The Color Pynk: Black Femme-inist Love and Criticism,” which “explores black femme aesthetics of resistance in the Trump era.” 

In an article for the <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/08/30/opinion/find-your-black-lgbtq-joy-its-your-superpower/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston Globe</a> that was co-written with her trans-gender spouse (a biological female pretending to be a male), the couple aimed to validate the “queerness” of their daughter amid alleged threats the LGBTQ community faces from American institutions:
“As a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/06/17/lgbtq-pride-violence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rise in racial and anti-LGBTQ violence</a> accompanies the rise of ‘parental choice’ bills, we have to think about the multiple ways our Black daughter is vulnerable to police violence, racial violence, and gender violence as she goes back to school. Despite moving our family from Texas to California, and transitioning from Trump’s presidency to Biden’s, we’re increasingly concerned about how much our daughter has to protect herself.”
The authors also offered four pieces of advice for their daughter at the article’s conclusion:

“1. Know YOU are never what’s broken in this crazy world; who you are can NEVER be wrong, period. Textbooks, TikToks, attitudes, assumptions all around you may be pathological; your Black queerness never will be.

"2. Assess what makes YOU feel safe, always and everywhere. Don’t do anything that seems like it will buy you more trouble than you want to handle that day. Waving rainbow flags and calling out teachers’ transphobia isn’t the most queer-positive thing you can do: Whatever protects and empowers YOU as a young Black queer person whose life matters is.

"3. Know that we have your back and other adults do, too. If you decide to express your Black queerness in a way your peers, principal, or school police don’t know how to handle, it’s our job as your parents to advocate for you. Your parents and grandparents, biological and gay aunties, coaches and cousins, will take on the brunt of those school board, parent-teacher, and community fights so you can focus on the important work of growing up.

"4. Whenever and wherever you can, have fun! Racists, homophobes, and transphobes hate Black LGBTQ joy. So, create your happiness wherever you can, knowing it’s your secret weapon for survival.”

In another <a href="https://www.advocate.com/commentary/2016/3/18/our-black-transgender-marriage-not-revolutionary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> written by the couple, titled “Our Black Transgender Marriage Is Not Revolutionary,” they write about their move from Texas to California to marry and protect themselves from “certain kinds of state interventions and…. violence.”
“We are both black queer people who now live in Texas, and our ability to legally marry is crucial to our physical and emotional safety. It shields us and our young daughter from certain kinds of state interventions and everyday violence we might otherwise be more vulnerable to. And it reminds us that we have a bond, a deep love and tenderness, that helps keep us whole and sane in a world that treats black people, queer people, transgender people, and black women as disposable.”
According to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/watch-profs-discuss-spirituality-of-non-binary-vaginas-femme-penises-and-black-queer-religions/21679" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, Tinsley appeared on a 2023 <a href="https://youtu.be/0A3ID6pPsCU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">panel</a> to “discuss the need to expand queer terminology from ‘queer’ to ‘quare.’”

Tinsley defines “Quare” as: 
“Quare… is a black-identified member of the LGBTQIA+ community who embodies resistive femininity; believes the dismantling of misogynoir, femmephobia, and transmisogyny are necessary for black freedom.” 
Regarding the vocabulary she uses in her work, Tinsley said: 
 “In my scholarship now, I use profane and vernacular language, like ‘black femme-inist,’ ‘black p***y power,’ ‘non-binary vagina,’ [and] ‘freedom dreaming’ … The loving reworking of language to hold our shifting understandings of what makes black, gender, and sexual creative folks simultaneously human and divine - which E.

<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://www.foxnews.com/media/princeton-anti-capitalist-class-teaching-black-people-considered-handicapped-systemic-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> highlighted Larson’s racialized course along with a textbook on the <a href="https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?courseid=016853&amp;term=1242" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sample Reading List.</a> According to the publisher, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Right-Maim-Debility-Disability-Otherwise/dp/0822369184/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3CJIPSGV1XZ1X&amp;keywords=Jasbir+Puar%2C+The+Right+to+Maim%3A+Debility%2C+Capacity%2C+Disability&amp;qid=1693330890&amp;sprefix=%2Caps%2C142&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Right to Maim: Debility, Capacity, Disability</a>” by Rutgers professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/jasbirpuar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jasbir Puar</a> is “an interrogation of Israel’s policies toward Palestine, in which [Puar] outlines how Israel brings Palestinians into biopolitical being by designating them available for injury.” 
The publisher also wrote, “Supplementing its right to kill with what Puar calls the right to maim, the Israeli state relies on liberal frameworks of disability to obscure and enable the mass debilitation of Palestinian bodies.”
On August 16, 2023, the Free Beacon featured Larson <a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/satyel-larson-princeton-professor-anti-semitism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in an article</a> titled “5 Things We Absolutely Love About Princeton Professor Satyel Larson.” The Beacon said, “Professor Larson, a white female redhead, brings a valuable diverse perspective to the university’s stable of anti-Semites.” The list with corresponding photos is below:
1. She has a beautiful mind

4. She respects the First Amendment 
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3124" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-05-at-2.46.05-PM-1024x605.png" alt="" width="640" height="378" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-05-at-2.46.05-PM-1024x605.png 1024w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-05-at-2.46.05-PM-300x177.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-05-at-2.46.05-PM-768x454.png 768w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-05-at-2.46.05-PM-1200x709.png 1200w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-05-at-2.46.05-PM.png 1286w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />
5. She’s just as comfortable chilling on the back porch as she is teaching in the classroom 
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3125" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-05-at-2.46.45-PM-1024x605.png" alt="" width="640" height="378" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-05-at-2.46.45-PM-1024x605.png 1024w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-05-at-2.46.45-PM-300x177.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-05-at-2.46.45-PM-768x454.png 768w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-05-at-2.46.45-PM-1200x709.png 1200w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-05-at-2.46.45-PM.png 1286w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />
According to the <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/israeli-minister-asks-princeton-to-remove-antisemitic-propaganda-from-course/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Review</a>, “The International Legal Forum, an Israel-based non-profit, criticized the decision to include [Puar’s] book in the course curriculum” and the “Israeli Minister and the International Legal Forum called for removing the book from the course.”
The Review also said, “Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, called for canceling the course and terminating [Larson].”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Princeton University is not only sanctioning hate speech, but establishing fertile ground for a new generation of antisemitic thought leaders. I am calling on Princeton University to cancel the course in question immediately, fire its professor, Satyel Larson, and issue a public…
