<a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/0031Q000025AIXeQAO/zandria-robinson">Dr. Zandria Robinson</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of African American Studies at Georgetown University. While teaching at Rhodes College, Robinson maintained a racially charged Twitter profile that is promoted by the university. Her tweets primarily focus on the terror of “whiteness.” She has even said that whites are conditioned to commit mass murder. One of her most trivial tweets is one linking the Confederate flag to the perpetuation of patriarchy, heterosexuality, and capitalism.

<a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/00336000014Re4cAAC/christine-fair">Carol Christine Fair</a> is an Associate Professor in the Security Studies Program at Georgetown University. 

Fair was the subject of a <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7dAQe1s5ZVka3hXLURodG1WQkU/view">complaint</a> filed by a colleague for “harassment, abuse, hate, and cyberbullying.”  After <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4069936/Georgetown-prof-C-Christine-Fair-went-meltdown-Muslim-ex-colleague-Asra-Q-Nomani-admitted-voting-Donald-Trump.html">Asra Nomani</a>, who is Muslim, said she voted for Trump because of her problems with Obamacare, Fair went on a month-long rant against Nomani, including calling her various insulting names in her native Urdu, claiming Nomani had “pimped” herself out, as well as saying "F*** you".

Fair is also known for her vulgar and carnal tweets directed at conservatives. During the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the fall of 2018, Fair <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=11369">launched</a> into a racially tinged tirade on her <a href="https://twitter.com/CChristineFair?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Twitter</a> account, accusing Republicans of enabling a rapist and calling for their castration in a series of tweets, 
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">“Look at thus(sic) chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist’s arrogant entitlement.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">”all of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps."</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">“Bonus: we castrate their corpse and feed them to swine? Yes.”</li>
</ul>

<a href="https://www.law.georgetown.edu/faculty/peller-gary.cfm">Gary Pellar </a>is a Professor of Law at Georgetown University. After the death of Antonin Scalia, Pellar drafted an email in opposition to mourning his death, accusing him of being a bully.

Professor <a href="https://www.law.georgetown.edu/faculty/preston-mitchum/">Preston Mitchum</a> is a law professor at Georgetown University. Though he is widely known for his extremely controversial and extreme opinions, constantly referring to how much he hates cops. Though he may have taken it a step too far with of of his latest, stating, “Yes, ALL white people are racist. Yes, ALL men are sexist. Yes, ALL cis people are transphobic. We have to unpack that. That's the work!”

<a href="https://lannan.georgetown.edu/past-guests/michael-eric-dyson/">Michael Eric Dyson</a> is a Professor of Sociology at Georgetown University.

Dyson has<a href="https://www.wglt.org/post/dyson-isu-white-supremacy-sees-resurgence-under-trump-0#stream/0"> alleged</a> that there has been a “resurgence” of white supremacy under a conservative presidency. In an interview with<a href="https://video.foxnews.com/v/5308799067001#sp=show-clips"> Tucker Carlson</a>, he has also asked for whites to pay reparations to black communities to offset America’s legacy of racism. During a<a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?445812-1/aurea-foundation-hosts-munk-debate-political-correctness"> debate</a> on political correctness in 2018 with Professor Jordan Peterson, Dyson repeatedly referred to Peterson as just a “mean, mad, old, white, man.” 

Just prior to Independence Day 2019, Dyson appeared on<a href="https://www.mediaite.com/politics/michael-eric-dyson-on-betsy-ross-flag-symbolism-why-dont-we-wear-a-swastika-for-july-fourth/"> MSNBC </a>and compared the iconic Betsy Ross Flag to a Nazi Swastika,

“Well, it hails from the Revolutionary period, of course, of this nation’s founding, which was deeply embroiled in, you know, enslavement, of the owners of slaves…..Right-wing white supremacists have used it as a rallying cry for their own cause.” 

Dyson continued,

“Words matter, symbols matter too. Why don’t we wear a swastika for July Fourth? Because I don’t know, it makes a difference.”

Dyson is also associated with the notorious anti-Semite and Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan. In 2010, Dyson<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ULAThBZKiM"> participated</a> in a roundtable discussion hosted by PBS with Farrakhan and<a href="http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/Minister_Louis_Farrakhan_9/article_7248.shtml"> interviewed</a> him the same year about the economic condition of black communities.

<a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/00336000014U15mAAC/peter-strzok-ii">Peter Strzok</a> is an adjunct professor at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/peter-strzok-hired-to-teach-counterintelligence-at-georgetown-university/">Strzok was recently hired</a> by the Walsh School of Foreign Service and teaches <a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/course-catalog/a1o1Q00000271IyQAI/ipol32301?id=00336000014U15mAAC">Counterintelligence and National Security.</a>

Strzok—a former counterintelligence agent with the FBI—was known for his lead role in the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election and former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/declassified-trump-russia-launch-document-authored-by-strzok-and-investigated-by-durham">Strzok launched a counterintelligence operation</a> and obtained multiple warrants to spy on individuals connected to the Trump campaign to determine if the candidate was illegally cultivating ties with Russia. Code-named Operation Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI’s investigation heavily relied on information provided by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele.

Steele had compiled a series of lurid allegations against then-candidate Trump, alleging liabilities to the Kremlin would allow him to be blackmailed by Russia. Referred to as the Steele Dossier, it was <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/clinton-campaign-dnc-paid-for-research-that-led-to-russia-dossier/2017/10/24/226fabf0-b8e4-11e7-a908-a3470754bbb9_story.html?tid=ss_tw&amp;utm_term=.be21b9cb9402">initially paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign</a> before being <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/doj-inspector-general-slams-bruce-ohr-for-consequential-errors-in-judgment">ferried by Bruce Ohr</a> of the Justice Department to the FBI. The Obama Administration was <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/dni-releases-cia-documents-on-hillary-clintons-plan-to-tie-trump-campaign-to-russia-to-distract-from-email-scandal/">briefed by CIA director John Brennan</a> about Clinton's attempt to use the dossier as an effort to tie the Trump campaign to Russia. The FBI used Steele as an informant to obtain FISA warrants against campaign surrogates George Papadopoulos and Carter Page.

It was later revealed that Steele’s source for the dossier was a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-previously-investigated-steele-dossier-source-as-russian-agent">suspected Russian spy</a> and his <a href="https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2020/07/24/meet_steele_dossiers_primary_subsource_fabulist_russian_at_us_think_tank_whose_boozy_past_the_fbi_ignored_124601.html">allegations were unfounded</a>. Despite Steele being removed by the FBI for his misconduct, this information <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/what-to-expect-from-inspector-general-michael-horowitzs-report-on-alleged-fisa-abuses">was withheld from a FISA court when seeking warrants</a> to surveil Papadopoulos and Page. The FBI claimed that Steele was not the source contained in the application while continuing to rely on his allegations.

<a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/15/newly-declassified-papadopoulos-transcript-exposes-crossfire-hurricane-corruption/">Papadopoulos</a> was ultimately never charged with colluding with Russia and the warrants issued for Page have been <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/carter-page-fisa-warrant-lacked-probable-cause-declassified-doj-order-finds">found to lack probable cause for surveillance</a>. A top lawyer working for Strzok has <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/11/22/washington-post-quietly-changes-story-on-altered-russia-probe-document/">pleaded guilty to falsifying information</a> in order to obtain a warrant for Page.

Peter Strzok was also instrumental in setting a perjury trap for General Flynn. Initially a target of Crossfire Hurricane, the Bureau soon closed the investigation over a lack of evidence. Strzok then <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/30/breaking-fbi-closed-flynn-case-dubbed-crossfire-razor-in-early-2017-until-strzok-ordered-it-to-stay-open/">intervened and immediately reopened</a> the case in early 2017. Hoping to catch <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/29/explosive-new-flynn-documents-show-fbi-goal-was-to-get-him-fired/">Flynn in a lie so that he would be fired</a>, Strzok interviewed Flynn over his recent conversation with the Russian Ambassador regarding sanctions. Despite Strzok or then <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/comey-told-obama-flynn-conversations-154702223.html">FBI director James Comey</a> believing that Fynn had not lied or mischaracterized the interaction, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/05/04/your-guide-to-the-obama-administrations-hit-on-michael-flynn/">the FBI charged Flynn with lying under oath</a>. The resultant trial nearly <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/now-imperiled-case-against-flynn-cost-him-millions-of-dollars-his-house-his-job">bankrupted Flynn’s family</a> and is still ongoing.

Throughout 2016 and 2017, Strzok was texting with fellow agent Lisa Page (of whom he was having an affair with at the time) <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/peter-strzok-trump-smell-hillbillies-1020892">his disdain for Trump supporters</a> and his desire to remove Donald Trump for office, referring to a supposed “<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/devin-nunes-peter-strzoks-insurance-policy-was-about-carter-page-fisa-warrant">insurance policy</a>” should he win the election. Strzok, then working with Robert Mueller, coordinated with Lisa Page t<a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/commentary/newly-disclosed-strzok-page-texts-shed-new-light-media-leak-strategy">o selectively leak information</a> about investigations to potentially obtain further warrants.

Strzok was soon <a href="https://apnews.com/article/fc94343ce2ace8e855cf7ef7efe9c8bf">removed from Mueller's team</a> once his communications were discovered, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2018/12/13/doj-destroyed-missing-strzok-page-text-messages-before-ig-reviewed-them/">but wiped his phone</a> before it could be reviewed for any further potentially incriminating texts. <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/fbi-agent-peter-strzok-who-sent-anti-trump-tweets-fired-n900161">He was later fired</a> by the FBI and <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/gregg-jarrett-ig-report-shows-fbi-misconduct-and-abuses-in-anti-trump-probe-of-russia-collusion-hoax">excoriated by an Inspector General’s report</a> over his partisan activities on a government-issued phone.

Throughout his career, Strzok has vindictively wielded the power of the state for his own purposes. To this day, he remains unrepentant and has <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/compromised-peter-strzok-on-investigating-the-trump-campaign/">repeatedly defended his actions</a>, even <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Untitled-Houghton-Mifflin-Harcourt/dp/0358237068">authoring a book</a> accusing the president of being compromised by Vladimir Putin.

Strzok’s texts to Lisa Page demonstrate a clear bias against conservatives, extending far beyond mere words. Strzok has repeatedly and flagrantly discriminated against conservatives.

Acting with impunity, Strzok and his team lied, falsified evidence, spied on, and attempted to bankrupt those serving on a presidential campaign that he opposed. As a professor, Strzok will hold the pivotal role of mentoring future leaders of the intelligence and law enforcement community— the same community whose principles he flagrantly violated. He will also hold the grades of his conservative students in a vice, subject to his personal prejudice. As someone that has demonstrated seemingly no prior hesitation in targeting conservatives, there is no reason to believe that Strzok will not place future students in his crosshairs.

Mr. <a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/0031Q00002Ad6npQAB/josh-ruebner">Josh Ruebner</a> is an adjunct faculty member in the <a href="https://justiceandpeace.georgetown.edu/">Program on Justice and Peace</a> at Georgetown University. According to Georgetown's website, the goal of the Justice and Peace Program is to produce “practically useful scholarships on how to create a more just and peaceful world.” In addition to his teaching roles, Ruebner is a Managing Director for the organization <a href="https://www.ampalestine.org/about-amp/staff">American Muslims for Palestine (AMP)</a>.

Mr. Ruebner has served in the Congressional Research Service (CRS), which provides policy analysis on behalf of committees in both the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. As a member of the CRS, Mr. Ruebner co-authored <a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs1535/m1/1/high_res_d/RL30713_2001Jan05.pdf">The Current Palestinian Uprising: Al-Aqsa Intifadah</a>, in which he accuses Israel of disproportionate use of force against Palestinians. Ruebner has also <a href="https://joshruebner.com/jewish-anti-occupation-group-lobbies-u-s/">sponsored</a> congressional staff members on a trip to the West Bank to advocate cutting off economic aid to Israel.

In 2018, Mr. Ruebner authored a book titled <a href="https://www.interlinkbooks.com/product/israel/">Israel: Democracy or Apartheid State?</a> In an event for the book’s release hosted by <a href="https://thejerusalemfund.org/category/pc">The Palestine Center</a>—a Palestinian advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C.—Mr. Ruebner <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqvfPNDwF70&amp;ab_channel=TheJerusalemFund%26PalestineCenter">accuses</a> Israel of enacting policies similar to apartheid-era South Africa.

&nbsp;

Mr. Ruebner previously slandered Israel as an apartheid state in his 2013 book titled <a href="https://joshruebner.com/books/shattered-hopes/order-the-book/">Shattered Hopes: Obama’s Failure to Broker an Israeli-Palestinian Peace</a>. In a promotional interview with the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVcp4FkHcV-YGI7F-MsY-YQ">Portland Media Center</a>, Mr. Ruebner further <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU1fqAQBozo&amp;ab_channel=PortlandMediaCenter">accuses the United States of complicity in Israel's human rights violations</a>.

&nbsp;

Mr. Ruebner alleges that terrorist attacks committed against America are directly linked to ties with Israel. In a December 2002 article titled <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/12/10/striking-with-impunity/">Striking with Impunity</a>, he states that America is guilty of war crimes for providing military aid to Israel—claiming Israel uses this equipment to commit human rights abuses. Mr. Ruebner asks the readers in the same article, how many more “towers need to fall?”—in reference to the horrific September 11th terrorist attacks—before America stops supporting Israel.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1418 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-06-01T161707.390-e1622589488707-1024x376.png" alt="" width="580" height="213" />Many of Mr. Ruebner’s articles contain antisemitic tropes directed at Jews and pro-Israel Americans. <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/foreign-policy/285991-israel-lobby-to-push-for-aid-despite-sequestration-cuts">In his March 2013 op-ed for The Hill, Mr. Ruebner accuses</a>  attendees of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) of being “Israel-first lobbyists.” In a CounterPunch.com article titled “<a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2003/03/14/an-open-letter-to-paul-wolfowitz/">An Open Letter to Paul Wolfowitz</a>,” Ruebner claims that a “cabal of extremist Jews” planned the Iraq War.

<a href="https://www.ampalestine.org/about-amp/staff">As a Managing Director for AMP</a>, Mr. Ruebner oversees staff management, organizational planning, and development. <a href="https://www.ampalestine.org/about-amp/statement-of-principles">According to their website, AMP seeks</a> to “highlight Israel’s flagrant and continual violations of international law and human rights abuses.” According to the watchdog source <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/4891/investigation-exposes-amp-leaders-ties-to-former">The Investigative Project on Terrorism</a>, AMP can be linked to multiple terrorist organizations. Additionally, various speakers featured at AMP conferences have repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel.

Mr. <a href="https://joshruebner.com/uscpr/">Ruebner also served</a> as the Policy Director of the <a href="https://uscpr.org/">US Campaign for Palestinian Rights</a> (USCPR) from 2013 to 2019. <a href="https://uscpr.org/about-us/">According to their website</a>, USCPR seeks to end “U.S. complicity in Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people” and to “stop U.S. support for Israel until it ends its denial of Palestinian rights.”

<a href="https://pediatrics.georgetown.edu/reitman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. David Reitman</a> is a doctor and Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at <a href="https://www.georgetown.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Georgetown University</a>. In a leaked lecture, Dr. Reitman advocates for administering puberty-blocking drugs to transition gender-dysphoric minors.

Slides from the lecture delivered to incoming medical students by Dr. Reitman—<a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/georgetown-catholic-medical-school-hormone-therapy-minors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which were obtained by The Spectator</a>—warn that gender dysphoria is a life-threatening condition that often results in suicide. He maintains the only way to treat the depression of transgender minors is through surgery or hormone replacement to “fix” their bodies.

<img class="size-full wp-image-2469 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.56.54-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

&nbsp;

Further, Dr. Reitman claims that even infants can understand their true gender identity. He instructs students to determine if their patients may be transgender by asking the child if he/she wants to grow their hair a certain length or play dress-up. 

<img class="size-full wp-image-2465 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.52.29-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

<img class="size-full wp-image-2466 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.01-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

&nbsp;

Dr. Reitman notes that it's optimal to identify gender dysphoria before puberty to begin cross-sex hormone treatment. He states this will prevent “unwanted secondary sex characteristics” and the minor will not have to undergo gender-transition surgeries later in life. 

<img class="size-full wp-image-2467 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.48-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

&nbsp;

Dr. Reitman then claims the effects of the drugs are fully reversible and puberty can be resumed at any time. While acknowledging these treatments have serious side effects such as loss of bone density, liver damage, and infertility, he still states there is a net benefit.  

<img class="size-full wp-image-2468 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.55.04-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

&nbsp;

A common drug used in gender transitions is Lupron, which was <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designed to castrate sex offenders</a>. Even if the dosage is <a href="https://www.commonsense.news/p/top-trans-doctors-blow-the-whistle?s=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">halted mid-transition, children are still unable to undergo puberty.</a> 

The Spectator further reports that <a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/georgetown-catholic-medical-school-hormone-therapy-minors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Reitman then displayed explicit images of “top” and “bottom” surgeries.</a> This refers to either a double mastectomy (top surgery) or the surgical removal/altering of genitalia (bottom surgery) as part of the transition process.

<a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/content/michigan-lsa/wgs/en/people/core-faculty/akirklan.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anna Kirkland</a>, J.D., Ph.D., is the Kim Lane Scheppele Collegiate Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Michigan. She also served as the Director of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) from 2017 to 2022.
Professor Kirkland is very outspoken about her pro-choice beliefs. In response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, she was featured in a <a href="https://news.umich.edu/supreme-court-overturns-roe-v-wade-u-m-experts-available-to-discuss/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Michigan News</a> article titled “Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade: U-M experts available to discuss.”
She stated that “abortion access is about to be dramatically restricted across large swaths of the United States.” She said that people will be forced “to give birth against their will” and that some “will die from pregnancy complications.” She added:
“This is by far the most radical right-wing majority we have ever seen on the Supreme Court, and so I am wondering whether and when they will take further steps like declaring that a fetus is a person, making all abortions illegal no matter what the state would like to do, or removing rights of access to same-sex marriage or contraception.” 
Kirkland has also been outspoken about her beliefs that everyone should get the COVID vaccine. In a Michigan Advance article titled, <a href="https://michiganadvance.com/2021/03/02/how-the-anti-covid-vaccine-movement-mobilized-in-michigan-before-anyone-ever-got-their-first-shot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“How the anti-COVID vaccine movement mobilized in Michigan before anyone ever got their first shot,”</a> she states:
“I do see some new things [about the anti-vaccine movement], and that is the move from a feminized, mother-focused, natural living focus to this highly masculinized, anti-mask, gun rights mobilization.”
She further argued that the anti-vaccine movement has an “inner core that’s probably realistically unreachable” and is dominated by “overwhelming whiteness” and “fundamentally led by the right-wing.”

<a href="http://fordschool.umich.edu/faculty/betsey-stevenson">Betsey Stevenson </a>is an associate professor of Economics at the University of Michigan. Stevenson made the list after making the claim that the lack of women found in Economics textbooks is the reason so few women pursue Economics as a major. In a study she conducted with Hanna Zlotnick, she found that 77% of people found in the leading Economics textbooks were male.

<a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/history/people/faculty/jrcole.html">Dr. Juan Cole</a> is a Professor of History at the University of Michigan. He believes right-wing Jews and an “Islamophobic network” were “a key influence” to the shooting that killed nine people at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C. He has also argued that recognizing Israel as a state is racist.

<a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/stats/people/faculty/fink.html">Nadiya Fink</a> is a statistics lecturer at University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. After a conservative activist satirically changed his preferred pronoun to "His Majesty", Fink threatened to punish any student who mocked the preferred pronoun system.

<a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/comm/people/regular-faculty/sdoug.html">Dr. Susan Douglas</a>, a professor at University of Michigan, publicized her hate for Republicans in an article from In These Times. She says, “I hate Republicans. I can’t stand the thought of having to spend the next two years watching Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Ted Cruz, Darrell Issa or any of the legions of other blowhards denying climate change, thwarting immigration reform or championing fetal ‘personhood.’”

Charles H.F. Davis is an Assistant Professor at the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education at the University of Michigan. He previously taught at the University of Southern California. According to his university biography, Davis’s research and teaching focuses on, “race and racism, systems of oppression, and structures of domination in U.S. higher education and its social contexts.”

Davis previously rose to notoriety in 2017 for a series of <a href="https://twitter.com/hfdavis?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">racially inflammatory tweets</a>. As reported by <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/usc-professor-defends-tweet-promoting-violence-whiteness/">The College Fix</a>, he tweeted that “whiteness” must be destroyed and alluded to the necessity of violence in confronting it.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1308 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-04-21T135205.941-e1619038447297-1024x278.png" alt="" width="580" height="157" />

The background photo of his Twitter account at the time featured a black woman pointing a gun at a pig that clearly represents a caricature of a police officer. 

When contacted <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/usc-professor-defends-tweet-promoting-violence-whiteness/">The College Fix</a> over his remarks, Davis responded, “To be clear, I am decidedly against whiteness as a social and political ideology, which systematically marginalize and disenfranchise people of color from opportunities for societal advancement. In addition, I am against the institution of policing, which has historically and continuously enacted racial terror, sexual violence, and economic exploitation against racial minorities, women and LGBTQ communities, and economically disadvantaged working-class people.”

When asked if any of these tweets might make students uncomfortable, Davis <a href="http://hfdavis.com/blog/an-interview-with-a-conservative">responded</a> that any discomfort experienced by his white students is a result of their “white fragility.” 

Davis had previously advocated for the right of students to disrupt conservative speakers on campus. In the wake of <a href="https://badgerherald.com/news/2016/11/17/conservative-pundit-ben-shapiro-lectures-to-turbulent-crowd-on-safe-spaces-freedom-of-speech/">protesters heckling</a> Ben Shapiro’s lecture at the University of Wisconsin Madison, school regents approved a <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-university-of-wisconsin-protest-punishment-20171006-story.html">policy</a> to suspend or expel students that purposefully disrupt events. Davis’s subsequent <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-university-of-wisconsin-protest-punishment-20171006-story.html">op-ed</a> at Inside Higher Ed argued that this only reinforced white supremacy: “To be clear, it is a decision that reinforces institutionalized white supremacy -- and other oppressive forms of systemic power.” Davis argues that conservative speakers like Shapiro have hijacked the First Amendment to push “white supremacist agendas.”  

Davis’s website, which is listed by the University of Michigan on his biography, <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/51ab9fa0e4b06a38e604420a/t/5edaf71d1ab0434751b2e960/1591408468354/HF+Davis+%E2%80%93%C2%A0EPK.pdf">advertises </a>that he has taught the issues of “ race, racism, and systemic oppression in education and society” to over “7,000 students, educators and institutional leaders.” The <a href="http://hfdavis.com/">home page</a> of the site also features links to organizations that advocate for the Black Lives Matter movement, abolishing the police, and boycotting the nation of Israel.

<a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/ac/people/faculty/jchl.html">John Cheney-Lippold</a> is an Associate Professor at the University of Michigan whose work focuses on Internet Studies, Cultural Studies, and Algorithm Studies.

Lippold made<a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=11317"> headlines</a> for his blatant discrimination against a pro-Israel student at Michigan. After agreeing to the initial request, he refused to write a letter of recommendation for her to study abroad in Israel due to his adherence to the academic boycott of the nation. In a now released email exchange, Lippold replied to the student’s request:

“As you may know, many university departments have pledged an academic boycott against Israel in support of Palestinians living in Palestine. This boycott includes writing letters of recommendations for students to study there.” 

In a<a href="https://nypost.com/2018/09/20/professor-draws-ire-after-declining-to-help-student-study-in-israel/"> statement</a> released by <a href="https://palestinelegal.org/">Palestine Legal</a>, he only proceeded to double-down and even compared Israel to Apartheid-era South Africa:

“I support the Palestinian boycott call because I am appalled at Israel’s continuing violation of Palestinian rights, and our government’s support for those violations...If a student had wanted to do a study abroad at an institution in Apartheid South Africa, I would have declined to write a letter for her as well.”

Professor Silke-Maria Weineck wrote a September 6, 2022, op-ed for The Chronicle of Higher Education titled <a href="https://archive.ph/GBDq6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Colleges Must Stop Trying to Appease the Right.”</a> The article begins by criticizing a university dean who had a conversation with a professor after a parent complained about one of the professor’s tweets. Weineck calls on her peers to stand up to Republicans, writing:
“Under the circumstances, it is not merely acceptable to denounce the GOP - clearly, loudly, profanely. It is our ethical and professional duty.” 
She goes on to say that the Republican Party has a “longstanding contempt for knowledge and expertise” in the fields of “history, public health, climate change, or ecology.”

She argues that colleges have an obligation to protect their faculty, staff, and students, saying:
“They must clearly insist on our people’s right not to be forced into pregnancy, not to be demeaned or disadvantaged due to their sexual orientation or gender identity, and to have all of their histories studied and told.” 
She finishes her opinion piece by quoting Ohio Republican Senate candidate J.D. Vance when he said that “professors are the enemy.” Weineck responds: “He is correct. He is our enemy, and we must be his. I welcome his hatred. As a modest start, I suggest that we no longer respond to Republicans who complain about professional tweets with anything other than a short form letter. I would be happy to draft it.”

This is not Weineck’s first anti-Republican opinion piece. In May 2021, she wrote another op-ed for The Chronicle of Higher Education titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210520190416/https://www.chronicle.com/article/the-tenure-denial-of-nikole-hannah-jones-is-craven-and-dangerous" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Tenure Denial of Nikole Hannah-Jones is Craven and Dangerous.”</a> She argues that Nikole Hannah-Jones was denied tenure at the University of North Carolina because of Republicans and the “governors and trustees within the UNC system in particular.” She writes:
“Universities hire faculty members who work on the history of racism and share Hannah-Jones’s broad convictions and investments all the time, and regents, trustees, and governors do not get involved. Nikole Hannah-Jones is different because she drove the conversation into places where it could not be belittled or contained.” 
Dr. Weineck believes <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hannah-Jones</a> is overqualified for tenure, saying: “The woman has a Pulitzer Prize and a MacArthur grant, and she spearheaded what is probably the most effective public-history effort in the history of the country, “The 1619 Project.””

The 1619 Project, originally a series of essays published in the New York Times and later developed into a book, “aims to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of our national narrative.” It argues that America was not founded in 1776 but in 1619, when the first enslaved Americans were brought to the Virginia colony, now the state of Virginia.

Weineck states that: “across the country, the GOP and its lickspittles have decided, in part precisely because of the success of “The 1619 Project,” that the correct way to address systemic racism is not only to deny its existence but to legally mandate this denial.” She argues that “universities are imperfect institutions, far more conservative than their reputation, and not nearly the force for good they imagine themselves to be.”

<a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/soc/people/faculty/erin-cech.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Erin Cech</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Associate Professor by courtesy in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan.

Professor Cech authored a study titled “<a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abo1558" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The intersectional privilege of white able-bodied heterosexual men in STEM</a>.” In this paper, she <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-studies-intersectional-privilege-of-white-able-bodied-heterosexual-men-in-stem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">compared the experiences of “white able-bodied heterosexual men (WAHM)”</a> in the STEM fields to 31 other intersectional groups. Her study concludes that “...members of all other 31 intersectional groups experience significantly less social inclusion in their STEM jobs on average than WAHM experience….”

In a <a href="https://news.umich.edu/privileges-confirmed-for-straight-white-men-working-in-stem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan News</a> press release, Cech said: “The findings show the importance of encouraging white men to recogize the privileges they may have access to, and commit to serving as allies to fight for change at the organizational and structural level.”
“It is everyone’s responsibility - advantaged and disadvantaged alike - to fight for more equitable climates and practices in STEM.”  
Cech wrote a study in June 2017 titled “<a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2378023117712395" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rugged Meritocratists: The Role of Overt Bias and the Meritocratic Ideology in Trump Supporters’ Opposition to Social Justice Efforts</a>.” Her work aimed to determine “whether and why Trump supporters are more likely than other Americans to oppose social justice efforts.”

She concludes that “Trump supporters are indeed more opposed to social justice efforts.” She says that Trump supporters “express greater overt race, class, and gender bias, yet this bias does not explain their opposition”:
“Rather, many Trump supporters are “rugged meritocratists” who oppose these efforts because they believe U.S. society is already fair. To expand support for social justice efforts, rugged meritocratists must first be convinced that systemic inequalities still exist.”

<a href="https://soe.umich.edu/directory/faculty-staff/deborah-loewenberg-ball" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deborah Loewenberg Ball</a> is the William H. Payne Collegiate Professor of Education and former dean of the School of Education at the University of Michigan. According to her university profile, Ball says her research focuses on “leveraging the power of teaching to disrupt racism, marginalization, and inequity.”

Bell was featured in a July 2021 episode of the <a href="https://gsehd.gwu.edu/edfix-ts-ep23" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EdFix Podcast</a>, where she argued that mathematics is racist. She claims that math is a “Harbor for whiteness” and said,
“...what’s also very difficult is to get people to see how the very nature of the knowledge and who’s produced it, and what has counted as Mathematics is itself also dominated by whiteness and by racism.” 
To provide an example of this racism, she states:
“This is really important because we do see patterns about who succeeds in Math in this country and it’s overwhelmingly white and Asian. It’s overwhelmingly still male once you get on with Mathematics.” 
She continues:
“So how about noticing that and being willing to open ourselves up to the question of how racism has permeated Mathematics and the way it’s represented in school and take the time to unfold that and to figure out what that would mean for looking at a better way of a curriculum and the pedagogy of Math in school.” 
Professor Ball wrote a March 2021 op-ed for the Detroit Free Press titled, <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/opinion/contributors/2021/03/21/why-school-isnt-safe-place-every-child/6937638002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Why school isn’t a safe place for every child.”</a> In this article, she argues that schools are often unsafe for children of color and that COVID provided an opportunity for “many Black and Brown children to be out of the white gaze of punishment and deficit views” which “was a welcome respite from fear and control.”

She also argues that the curriculum in schools has been “unsafe,” writing:
“The images, knowledge, people and values that permeate history, science and art, as well as mathematics, language and text are harmful. They distort the experiences of Indigenous people, of Black communities and of immigrant groups. They reinscribe whiteness, heteronormativity and English as normal and desirable.” 
She concludes her op-ed by stating that schools need to “take a fuller view of the safety needed to dismantle anti-Blackness and white supremacy in our educational systems” as students and staff return to in-person schooling.

<a href="https://michigan.law.umich.edu/faculty-and-scholarship/our-faculty/barbara-l-mcquade" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barbara McQuade</a> is a professor at the University of Michigan Law School. According to her university profile, her interests include criminal law, criminal procedure, national security, data privacy, and civil rights. She was appointed by President Obama and served as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan from 2010 to 2017.

McQuade has been outspoken about her belief that former President Trump should be charged with manslaughter for the events that took place on January 6, 2021. On July 16, she wrote an op-ed for MSNBC titled, <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/did-trump-commit-manslaughter-jan-6-committee-doj-should-find-n1297314" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The case for charging Trump with manslaughter.”</a>

In this article, McQuade argues that the “loss of life was predictable in light of the size of the mob, their emotional state and their use of force.” She believes Trump knew the crowd was armed and said, “Unlike most members of the public who have no duty to take action to prevent a crime, a president has a constitutional duty to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.””

She concludes her comments by writing:
“Donald Trump once said he could “stand in the middle [of] Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody” and not lose any voters. Can he also cause the deaths of five people and not lose his liberty?” 
She tweeted a link to her op-ed on October 25, 2022 with the caption, “Here is my analysis of involuntary manslaughter charges for Trump. This theory is probably a bridge too far for DOJ, but failing to a [sic] call off the mob when he knew they were armed and angry makes the resulting deaths at the Capitol reasonably forseeable.”

In an <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/america-s-gun-infatuation-threat-supreme-court-could-make-it-n1283362" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MSNBC op-ed,</a> she wrote “America’s infatuation with guns is a national security threat.” She states: “I was one of 30 former national security officials to sign on to an amicus brief arguing that unrestricted access to concealable firearms poses a great threat to public safety.” She ended the piece by claiming, “...like all rights, those described in Second Amendment are not absolute.”

In a TIME article, titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220204035713/https://time.com/6122142/kyle-rittenhouse-verdict/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Kyle Rittenhouse Verdict Makes Us All Less Safe,”</a> she poses the question:
“Looking at this case broadly, how can it be that our laws permit a teenager to escape criminal liability after he travels from out of state to a scene of civil unrest, violates a curfew specifically designed to keep people off the streets, and ostentatiously carries with him an assault weapon that results in deadly harm?” 
She goes on to argue that Rittenhouse will become the “poster boy for right-wing extremists and politicians.” She justifies this statement by saying, “Rep. Matt Gaetz has already stated that Rittenhouse would make a good congressional intern.”

She claims the Rittenhouse verdict will “be a larger message to society that we should embrace vigilante justice” and will “promote irresponsible use of assault weapons under the banner of the Second Amendment.” Therefore, she believes the verdict makes everyone “less safe.”

“This is by far the most radical right-wing majority we have ever seen on the Supreme Court, and so I am wondering whether and when they will take further steps like declaring that a fetus is a person, making all abortions illegal no matter what the state would like to do, or removing rights of access to same-sex marriage or contraception.” 
Kirkland has also been outspoken about her beliefs that everyone should get the COVID vaccine. In a Michigan Advance article titled, <a href="https://michiganadvance.com/2021/03/02/how-the-anti-covid-vaccine-movement-mobilized-in-michigan-before-anyone-ever-got-their-first-shot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“How the anti-COVID vaccine movement mobilized in Michigan before anyone ever got their first shot,”</a> she states:
“I do see some new things [about the anti-vaccine movement], and that is the move from a feminized, mother-focused, natural living focus to this highly masculinized, anti-mask, gun rights mobilization.”
She further argued that the anti-vaccine movement has an “inner core that’s probably realistically unreachable” and is dominated by “overwhelming whiteness” and “fundamentally led by the right-wing.”

<a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/hssp/people/professional---office-staff/lhharris.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lisa Harris</a> is the F. Wallace and Janet Jeffries Collegiate Professor of Reproductive Health, and Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Michigan. According to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/post-roe-task-force-launched-by-university-of-michigan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a>, Harris is also the medical director for a regional Planned Parenthood.

Dr. Harris performs late-term abortions in which the baby is brutally dismembered. <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/abortionist-lisa-harris-dismembering-sad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Live Action</a> reports that in an article written for <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18772087/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reproductive Health Matters</a>, Dr. Harris recounts performing an abortion while pregnant with her own daughter. She writes:
“[I] was more interested than usual in seeing the fetal parts when I was done, since they would so closely resemble those of my own fetus. I went about doing the procedure as usual, removed the laminaria I had placed earlier and confirmed I had adequate dilation. I … picked up my forceps and began to remove the fetus in parts, as I always did. I felt lucky that this one was already in the breech position - it would make grasping small parts (legs and arms) a little easier.” 
“With my first pass of the forceps, I grasped an extremity and began to pull it down. I could see a small foot hanging from the teeth of my forceps. With a quick tug, I separated the leg. Precisely at that moment, I felt a kick - a fluttery “thump, thump” in my own uterus. It was one of the first times I felt fetal movement. There was a leg and foot in my forceps, and a “thump, thump” in my abdomen. Instantly, tears were streaming from my eyes … Doing second trimester abortions did not get easier after my pregnancy; in fact, dealing with little infant parts of my born baby only made dealing with dismembered fetal parts sadder.” 
In a <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/abortionist-lisa-harris-dismembering-sad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video recorded at the National Abortion Federation convention</a>, Dr. Harris was asked a question from a pro-choice activist about pictures of aborted babies. She responded:
“[I] actually think that we should be less about denying the reality of those images. More about acknowledging, that yeah, that’s kind of true. … we might actually both agree that there’s violence in here, ask me why I come to work every day. Let’s just give them all, the violence, it’s a person, killing - let’s just give them all that.” 
In June 2022, the University of Michigan announced the <a href="https://record.umich.edu/articles/university-creates-task-force-to-focus-on-abortion-access/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">creation of a task force to focus on abortion access.</a> Dr. Harris, who will co-chair the group, said in a press release that she is concerned about an increased birthrate in the post-Roe era:
“We can also expect to see an increase in the birthrate in the state - some estimates are as high as a 17% increase - and it is not clear that we or others have capacity to manage a dramatic shift like this.”

Crocker Professor of Law at the <a href="https://www.usc.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Southern California</a>. According to his university biography, Dr. Armour studies the intersection of racial justice, criminal justice, and the rule of law.
As a critical race scholar, Dr. Armour’s work focuses on police brutality, mass incarceration, and systemic and cultural racism. He freely admits that critical race theory is included in his curriculum.

Many prominent critical theorists, including professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones">Dr. Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even claim that the <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones">nation’s true founding year is 1619</a>—rather than 1776—when the first slave stepped foot in North America.

Dr. Armour is notable for his advocacy on behalf of District Attorneys (DAs) supported by George Soros while he served as a fellow of George Soros&#8217; Open Society Foundation.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/9-things-you-need-know-about-george-soros-aaron-bandler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Hungarian-born billionaire</a>, George Soros and The Open Society Foundation donate billions of dollars to progressive causes across the country, totaling <a href="https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/who-we-are/financials" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over $18 billion dollars over the past 35 years</a>. The Foundation’s operating budget for 2020 alone was 1.4 billion dollars.
The <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/12/16/how-george-soros-funded-progressive-das-behind-us-crime-surge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beneficiaries of Soros’s philanthropy are progressive District Attorneys who run on issues such as ending cash bail and “mass incarceration</a>.” Author, Matt Palumbo, has <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2021/11/08/matt_palumbo_how_george_soros_overhauled_the_us_justice_system.html#!" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documented tens of millions of dollars flowing from Soros and the Open Society Foundation</a> to campaigns of far-left DAs across the country.
Once elected, they immediately begin to decriminalize or refuse to prosecute certain “non-violent” crimes such as robbery, drug possession, and vandalism. This sometimes includes more serious offenses. The Soros-backed DA for Chicago, <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/10/decriminalizing_gang_bangers_soros_prosecutor_kim_foxx_declines_to_charge_five_arrested_in_fatal_gang_shootout_citing_mutual_combatants.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kim Foxx, cited “mutual combat” in her decision to decline prosecution of a fatal gang shooting</a>.

Officially titled the Soros Justice Senior Fellow of The Open Society Institute’s Center on Crime, Communities and Culture, Dr. Armour works not only to promote radical, criminal justice reform but uses his position within USC’s Law School to recruit Soros-backed, far-left DAs across the country.
Dr. Armour frequently hosts these DAs as part of his lecture series at the USC College of Law. One is Los Angeles County DA, George Gascon, who is known for his <a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/report/george-gascon-rogue-prosecutor-whose-extreme-policies-undermine-the-rule" target="_blank" rel="noopener">radical stances and failure to prosecute </a>serious offenses.
Gascon’s office has been criticized for <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2021/12/07/convict-arrested-for-murder-of-jacqueline-avant-as-l-a-faces-violent-crime-surge-in-wake-of-reforms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">releasing criminals who would later go on to commit violent crimes</a>.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aziluYm1Kbk&amp;ab_channel=USCGouldSchoolofLaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During their conversation</a>, Dr. Armour audibly agreed with Gascon as he claimed that the police originate from slave patrols in the antebellum south.
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video">

&nbsp;
During one point, Gascon compared the arrests of homeless people to confinement in a concentration camp, even stating that if a person is assaulted by a vagrant in front of their “million-dollar condo,” the solution is not to arrest or institutionalize them.
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-2" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/My-Movie-1.mp4?_=2" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/My-Movie-1.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/My-Movie-1.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
A notable portion of Dr. Armour’s conversation with Gascon is when both described their efforts to elect progressive DAs in cities across the country. Gascon even bragged about how $50 million raised by George Soros and the ACLU was used to recruit and fund the campaigns of like-minded DAs across the country.

&nbsp;
One DA singled out for praise in their conversation is the District attorney of Philadelphia, Larry Krasner, whom Dr. Armour hosted at USC’s Law School on two separate occasions. Dr. Armour has praised Krasner—who self-identifies as a “prison abolitionist”— <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfPSYQRHP9Y&amp;ab_channel=USCGouldSchoolofLaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as the most “transformational” politician in the last 50 years.</a>
Elected in 2017—<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyh5Il__MH0&amp;t=4s&amp;ab_channel=USCGouldSchoolofLaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">while running on ending cash bail and mass incarceration in the city</a>—Krasner has since overseen a record-breaking crime wave in Philadelphia, with the<a href="https://www.city-journal.org/philadelphia-breaks-homicide-record" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> city recording over 500 murders in 2021 alone</a>.
During a separate, Krasner bragged about his refusal to prosecute certain crimes in his jurisdiction—namely drug offenses—while in office. This decision has drawn criticism from prosecutors who accuse Krasner of failing to keep violent criminals off the street.
<a href="https://www.inquirer.com/news/us-attorney-william-mcswain-district-attorney-larry-krasner-police-shooting-cpl-james-oconnor-20200316.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US Attorney, William McSwain, attributed this policy to the death of James O’Connor, a Philadelphia police officer</a>. O’Conner was murdered by a career criminal, Hassan Elliot while serving an arrest warrant. Krasner’s office had previously released Elliot for drug possession, which was a violation of his parole, with no bail.
Dr. Armour further used the event to recruit for Krasner’s office. As part of his nationwide tour, Kranser used his platform to recruit Dr. Armour’s students to intern and eventually work in his office, which Dr. Armour enthusiastically supported.

<a href="https://dornsife.usc.edu/cf/faculty-and-staff/faculty.cfm?pid=1034060">Alicia Chavez</a> is an Assistant Professor of American Studies and Ethnicity at the University of Southern California. In her classes, Chavez forbids her students from using the term, “illegal immigrant.”

Censorship
As <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8518">reported</a> by Campus Reform, Chavez <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8518">taught </a>a course called, “America, the Frontier, and the New West.”  The course description <a href="https://classes.usc.edu/term-20163/classes/amst/">states</a> that the class is an “Introduction to an interdisciplinary study of American political, cultural and social life with a particular emphasis on the Western United States as a region.” According to USC’s course <a href="https://classes.usc.edu/term-20163/classes/amst/">description</a>, the course also qualifies the satisfaction of the core curriculum requirement for undergraduate students.

According to Campus Reform, Chavez sent an email to her class, via her teaching assistant Julia Chea, <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8518">ordering</a> students to refrain from using the term “illegal immigrant” on the course's final exam. The email reads as follows,

According to the Washington Examiner, Chea then <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/red-alert-politics/professor-bans-phrase-illegal-immigrant-threatens-students-exposed">discovered</a> that students who received her email were sharing it on their respective social media accounts. She then sent out an additional email to the students in her class that read as follows,

“Dear students, NONE of you have my permission to screenshot emails sent to the class so that you may post them on Facebook. Not only is it in bad taste, but you would do well to avoid violating classroom and university policies regarding confidentiality. Your friend has ratted you out.”

In a <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8518">statement </a>given to Campus Reform, an unnamed student who shared the initial email called the decree “just one of the many instances of anticonservative bias” at USC and represents an “attack on intellectual freedom and free speech.”

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Chavez for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

<a href="https://dornsife.usc.edu/cf/faculty-and-staff/faculty.cfm?pid=1008403">Darry Sragow</a>, a professor at the University of Southern California, attacked Republicans during a political science class. He angrily called them old, white, racist, “losers” and encouraged illegally suppressing Republican votes.

<a href="https://weblaw.usc.edu/faculty/?id=129" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Jody David Armour</a> is a Roy P. Crocker Professor of Law at the <a href="https://www.usc.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Southern California</a>. According to his university biography, Dr. Armour studies the intersection of racial justice, criminal justice, and the rule of law.

As a critical race scholar, Dr. Armour’s work focuses on police brutality, mass incarceration, and systemic and cultural racism. He freely admits that critical race theory is included in his curriculum.

Many prominent critical theorists, including professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones">Dr. Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even claim that the <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones">nation’s true founding year is 1619</a>—rather than 1776—when the first slave stepped foot in North America.

He’s further described his work—namely <a href="https://larbbooks.org/product/ngga-theory-print/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“N*gga Theory: Race, Language, Unequal Justice, and the Law</a>,” and, “<a href="https://nyupress.org/9780814706404/negrophobia-and-reasonable-racism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Negrophobia and Reasonable Racism</a>,”—as “steeped” in critical race theory and was invited to teach critical theory to public departments in Los Angeles County.

My first book, “Negrophobia &amp; Reasonable Racism: The Hidden Costs of Being Black in America,” was also steeped in Critical Race Theory. The common theme: the formal equality produced by the Civil Rights Movement—“colorblind formalism”—cannot address systemic &amp; unconscious racism.

Dr. Armour is notable for his advocacy on behalf of District Attorneys (DAs) supported by George Soros while he served as a fellow of George Soros' Open Society Foundation.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/9-things-you-need-know-about-george-soros-aaron-bandler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Hungarian-born billionaire</a>, George Soros and The Open Society Foundation donate billions of dollars to progressive causes across the country, totaling <a href="https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/who-we-are/financials" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over $18 billion dollars over the past 35 years</a>. The Foundation’s operating budget for 2020 alone was 1.4 billion dollars.

The <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/12/16/how-george-soros-funded-progressive-das-behind-us-crime-surge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beneficiaries of Soros’s philanthropy are progressive District Attorneys who run on issues such as ending cash bail and “mass incarceration</a>.” Author, Matt Palumbo, has <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2021/11/08/matt_palumbo_how_george_soros_overhauled_the_us_justice_system.html#!" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documented tens of millions of dollars flowing from Soros and the Open Society Foundation</a> to campaigns of far-left DAs across the country.

Once elected, they immediately begin to decriminalize or refuse to prosecute certain “non-violent” crimes such as robbery, drug possession, and vandalism. This sometimes includes more serious offenses. The Soros-backed DA for Chicago, <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/10/decriminalizing_gang_bangers_soros_prosecutor_kim_foxx_declines_to_charge_five_arrested_in_fatal_gang_shootout_citing_mutual_combatants.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kim Foxx, cited “mutual combat” in her decision to decline prosecution of a fatal gang shooting</a>.

<a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/02/the-deadly-consequences-of-defund-the-police/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coupled with the nationwide defunding of police departments</a>, cities with Soros-funded DAs are witnessing record levels of crime. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/twelve-major-cities-with-new-homicide-records-in-2021-all-led-by-democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twelve major US cities broke homicide records in 2021.</a>

Officially titled the Soros Justice Senior Fellow of The Open Society Institute’s Center on Crime, Communities and Culture, Dr. Armour works not only to promote radical, criminal justice reform but uses his position within USC’s Law School to recruit Soros-backed, far-left DAs across the country.

Dr. Armour frequently hosts these DAs as part of his lecture series at the USC College of Law. One is Los Angeles County DA, George Gascon, who is known for his <a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/report/george-gascon-rogue-prosecutor-whose-extreme-policies-undermine-the-rule" target="_blank" rel="noopener">radical stances and failure to prosecute </a>serious offenses.

Gascon’s office has been criticized for <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2021/12/07/convict-arrested-for-murder-of-jacqueline-avant-as-l-a-faces-violent-crime-surge-in-wake-of-reforms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">releasing criminals who would later go on to commit violent crimes</a>. In 2021, a <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/01/17/la-da-ripped-after-child-molester-faces-little-or-no-time/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transgender woman who raped a 10 year-old girl in a bathroom</a> received a substantially reduced sentence based on recommendations from Gascon’s office.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aziluYm1Kbk&amp;ab_channel=USCGouldSchoolofLaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During their conversation</a>, Dr. Armour audibly agreed with Gascon as he claimed that the police originate from slave patrols in the antebellum south.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Armour-George-Soros-Part-2.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

During one point, Gascon compared the arrests of homeless people to confinement in a concentration camp, even stating that if a person is assaulted by a vagrant in front of their “million-dollar condo,” the solution is not to arrest or institutionalize them.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/My-Movie-1.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

A notable portion of Dr. Armour’s conversation with Gascon is when both described their efforts to elect progressive DAs in cities across the country. Gascon even bragged about how $50 million raised by George Soros and the ACLU was used to recruit and fund the campaigns of like-minded DAs across the country.

&nbsp;

One DA singled out for praise in their conversation is the District attorney of Philadelphia, Larry Krasner, whom Dr. Armour hosted at USC’s Law School on two separate occasions. Dr. Armour has praised Krasner—who self-identifies as a “prison abolitionist”— <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfPSYQRHP9Y&amp;ab_channel=USCGouldSchoolofLaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as the most “transformational” politician in the last 50 years.</a>

Elected in 2017—<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyh5Il__MH0&amp;t=4s&amp;ab_channel=USCGouldSchoolofLaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">while running on ending cash bail and mass incarceration in the city</a>—Krasner has since overseen a record-breaking crime wave in Philadelphia, with the<a href="https://www.city-journal.org/philadelphia-breaks-homicide-record" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> city recording over 500 murders in 2021 alone</a>.

During a separate, Krasner bragged about his refusal to prosecute certain crimes in his jurisdiction—namely drug offenses—while in office. This decision has drawn criticism from prosecutors who accuse Krasner of failing to keep violent criminals off the street.

<a href="https://www.inquirer.com/news/us-attorney-william-mcswain-district-attorney-larry-krasner-police-shooting-cpl-james-oconnor-20200316.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US Attorney, William McSwain, attributed this policy to the death of James O’Connor, a Philadelphia police officer</a>. O’Conner was murdered by a career criminal, Hassan Elliot while serving an arrest warrant. Krasner’s office had previously released Elliot for drug possession, which was a violation of his parole, with no bail.

Dr. Armour further used the event to recruit for Krasner’s office. As part of his nationwide tour, Kranser used his platform to recruit Dr. Armour’s students to intern and eventually work in his office, which Dr. Armour enthusiastically supported.

The full interview with Krasner may be watched below.

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

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

Siddons went on to allege that only one party is standing for democracy based on the events of the prior day.
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-1208 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-25T115603.896-e1616698601750-1024x356.png" alt="" width="580" height="202" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-25T115603.896-e1616698601750-1024x356.png 1024w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-25T115603.896-e1616698601750-300x104.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-25T115603.896-e1616698601750-768x267.png 768w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-25T115603.896-e1616698601750-1200x417.png 1200w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-25T115603.896-e1616698601750.png 1299w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" />
Siddons then turns his attention to any students in his class who might not think that racism exists in America. Siddon states that a stark difference exists between how the rioters were treated at the Capitol and how black protestors are treated, claiming this contrast as proof that racism still exists in America. Siddons cites how BLM rioters were “tear-gassed by police” during the summer riots of 2020, and characterizes the rioters at the Capitol on January 6 as “allowed” entry into the Capitol by virtue of their skin color.

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

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

As <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/dhs-leaked-email-confirms-that-antifa-is-an-organized-group">reported</a> byThe Post-Millennial, leaked emails from the Department of Homeland Security show that law enforcement agencies identify ANTIFA as an existing organization that engages in “organized” rather than sporadic violence. Many <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/guns-knives-and-other-weapons-confiscated-from-suspects-at-portland-antifa-riot/">members arm themselves with knives and firearms</a> at protests, which frequently descend into violence. Members of ANTIFA <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/antifa-burn-american-flags-storm-courthouse-portland">attacked</a> a Federal Courthouse in Downtown Portland in March of 2021 and, also <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/us-attorneys-office-in-dc-refuses-to-investigate-attack-on-rand-paul/">reported by The Post Millennial</a>, attacked Senator Rand Paul and his wife in Washington D.C. during the summer of the previous year.

Siddons later states that black men and women “saved our democracy” by electing Senators Warnock and Ossoff in Georgia.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1150 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-05T143212.547-e1614979956930-1024x442.png" alt="" width="580" height="250" />

Siddons went on to allege that only one party is standing for democracy based on the events of the prior day.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1208 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-25T115603.896-e1616698601750-1024x356.png" alt="" width="580" height="202" />

Siddons then turns his attention to any students in his class who might not think that racism exists in America. Siddon states that a stark difference exists between how the rioters were treated at the Capitol and how black protestors are treated, claiming this contrast as proof that racism still exists in America. Siddons cites how BLM rioters were “tear-gassed by police” during the summer riots of 2020, and characterizes the rioters at the Capitol on January 6 as “allowed” entry into the Capitol by virtue of their skin color.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1152 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-05T143800.071-e1614980319181-1024x427.png" alt="" width="580" height="242" />

Siddons then alleges that treating people of color unequally may be traced back all the way to the Reagan Administration.

<a href="http://ciapps.csuci.edu/FacultyBiographies/frank.barajas">Dr. Frank Barajas</a> is a Professor of History at California State University, Channel Islands. Interestingly enough, Dr. Barajas offered extra credit to students who wrote to a state assembly member saying that high fees and tuition psychologically impact them. Students were also required to “include why you believe free tuition would better impact your education”.

Dr. <a href="https://www.csuci.edu/news/releases/2020-richard-yao-appointed-interim-president-csuci.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Richard Yao</a> is the interim president of <a href="https://www.csuci.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California State University - Channel Islands (CSUCI)</a> as of November 2021. Prior to his role, he served as the Vice President of Student Affairs for CSUCI, the Dean of Students, the Chief Student Affairs Officer, and a Senior Lecturer in Psychology for Nevada State College.

In a campus-wide email, Dr. Yao implied that Kyle Rittenhouse would benefit from his trial because he is white.

The letter was sent to all CSUCI students as the jury was deliberating following closing arguments. Rittenhouse was on trial for the shooting deaths of Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber, and injuries to Gaige Grosskreutz.

Dr. Yao begins by addressing the events that occurred in Kenosha the previous year:

“There is a long and profound weariness that many members of our campus community may be acutely experiencing as we start this week, as the nation awaits the outcome of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial in Kenosha, Wisconsin. We have been in this place before - too many times and too recently - but here we are again, awaiting the fate of Mr. Rittenhouse, whose response to the Black Lives Matter protest that broke out in Kenosha following the police shooting of Jacob Blake just over a year ago resulted in the death of Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and injuries to Gaige Grosskreutz, 27.” 

The incident with Jacob Blake that Dr. Yao is referring to occurred the previous year. <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/28/this-is-why-jacob-blake-had-a-warrant-out-for-his-arrest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blake was already wanted for the sexual assault of his ex-girlfriend</a>. On August 23, police were called to his girlfriend’s residence for a disturbance involving Blake. <a href="https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/kenosha-kyle-rittenhouse-the-rest-of-the-jacob-blake-story/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">As police attempted to detain Blake, he became uncooperative and the officers attempted to place him under arrest. </a>

Police were then forced to tase Blake, who began walking towards his car, which contained his two children. Blake failed to obey their orders to drop <a href="https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/kenosha-kyle-rittenhouse-the-rest-of-the-jacob-blake-story/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the knife he was carrying</a> and was shot as he reached into the door of his car.

Due to the misinformation spread after the shooting, riots soon broke out in Kenosha. The looting, arson, and vandalism that followed resulted in <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/damage-rioting-kenosha-50-million" target="_blank" rel="noopener">50 million dollars in damages to local businesses.</a>

<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/kyle-rittenhouse-days-leading-up-to-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Having spent the day cleaning up graffiti in a nearby neighborhood</a>, Kyle Rittenhouse joined several other residents to guard community business against the rioters with AR-15’s.

Several of the rioters—Rosenbaum, Huber, and Grosskreutz—attacked Rittenhouse as he walked down the street with his rifle. The incident began when Rosenbaum chased Rittenhouse into a parking lot. At this point, Joshua Ziminski—another rioter present—fired upon Rittenhouse with his gun. <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/11/10/kyle-rittenhouse-shooting-a-clear-case-of-self-defense-devine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rosenbaum immediately proceeded to grab the barrel of Kyle’s rifle resulting in Rittenhouse shooting and killing him</a>.

Rittenhouse was then chased down the street by other rioters, including Huber and Grosskreutz. He tripped and was assaulted while on the ground. Huber proceeded to repeatedly hit Rittenhouse in the head with a skateboard and attempted to steal his rifle, forcing Rittenhouse to shoot and kill him.

Grosskreutz proceeded to approach Rittenhouse with a loaded Glock, aiming the weapon at his head in an apparent attempt to kill him. Grosskreutz—<a href="https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/victoria-taft/2021/11/08/antifa-medic-wounded-by-kyle-rittenhouse-makes-never-before-heard-accusation-from-witness-stand-it-may-backfire-on-him-n1530795" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a member of the ANTIFA affiliated “People’s Revolution”</a>—was then shot by Rittenhouse.

Rittenhouse faced charges of homicide, a <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/annakaplan/2021/11/15/here-are-the-charges-kyle-rittenhouse-faces-after-judge-tossed-dangerous-weapon-misdemeanor/?sh=7d99d8b91cee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conviction that would carry a life sentence</a>, but was <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/rittenhouse-trial-jury" target="_blank" rel="noopener">later found innocent by the jury.</a>

Further in his letter, Dr. Yao strongly implies that Rittenhouse is receiving special treatment because of the color of his skin. He proceeds to pose a hypothetical situation, in which instead of a white teenager, a “black 18-year-old” had participated in the “armed response” to the BLM protests in Kenosha. Continuing, he expresses sympathy for “Black, Indigenous, and other people of color” who find it “difficult” to keep from imagining this scenario.

“While Mr. Rittenhouse’s emotional testimony on the stand told a story of self-defense, for Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color, it may be difficult to keep from imagining how the Rittenhouse story may have unfolded had it happened to be the fate of a Black 18-year-old who answered the call of an unauthorized militia for an armed response to the protests and destruction of property that was occurring in downtown Kenosha.” 

Several of the rioters who attacked Rittenhouse have numerous arrests and convictions: <a href="https://www.wisconsinrightnow.com/2021/03/12/kenosha-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Huber was previously convicted for domestic abuse</a>, Grosskreutz had been arrested for <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/11/15/sole-survivor-of-rittenhouse-shootings-has-criminal-past-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">burglary and assaulting his grandmother</a>. Rosenbaum was a <a href="https://townhall.com/columnists/katiepavlich/2021/11/12/the-left-always-defends-the-real-criminals-n2599027" target="_blank" rel="noopener">convicted pedophile who was on lifetime probation for the anal rape and sexual assault of young boys</a>. A video later emerged of Rosenbaum<a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/28/kenosha-shooting-victim-seen-in-video-confronting-armed-men/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> aggressively confronting Kyle and calling him the “n-word” throughout the evening</a>.

Turns out the man Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed last night in <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Kenosha?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Kenosha</a> was Joseph D Rosenbaum, a convicted sex offender of sexual conduct with a minor

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Despite their criminal records, Dr. Yao proceeds to express sympathy for Rosenbaum, Huber, and Grosskreutz, lamenting the “trauma” Rittenhouse has caused their families.

“While the jury may begin deliberations in the Rittenhouse trial as soon as today, we do not need to wait until the final verdict to recognize the lives that were lost and the hurt and trauma that families have and will continue to experience in the days, months, and years ahead.” 

Despite the fact that Rosenbaum, Huber, and Grosskreutz, are not black or persons of color, and no evidence has indicated that Rittenhouse’s actions were driven by racial animus, Dr. Yao still characterizes the trial in racial terms. Stating that, “we do not need to wait for the final verdict,” he reaffirms the university will continue to pursue “racial and social justice.”

“In addition, we do not need to wait until the final verdict to reinforce and strengthen our institutional values and mission of realizing racial and social justice. This process can be exhausting and angering, and there are legitimate reasons embedded in our nation’s history for feeling weary, angry, hopeless, and even cynical. But I call explicitly on each individual member of our campus community to resist hopelessness and cynicism. Weariness can be overcome, but hopelessness and cynicism are signals of defeat.“

&nbsp;

Dr. Yao has promoted or developed other racial justice-themed materials under his leadership at the University. In February of 2021, he approved the <a href="https://policy.csuci.edu/sp/20/sp20-02-committee-equity-and-anti-racism.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Policy on Academic Senate Committee on Equity and Anti-Racism</a>, whose explicit goal is the promotion of “equity, anti-racism, and diversity.” The committee exerts enormous influence over the campus; members hold the power to review faculty hiring, retention, tenure, and department bylaws to ensure adherence to the committee's stated goals.

Just two months later, Dr. Yao released another message to the student body, titled, “<a href="https://www.csuci.edu/president/2021-04-19-student-message.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In Solidarity with the Black Lives Matter Movement and Racial Justice.</a>”  The letter credits the BLM movement for the “momentum” created during the previous year for “racial and social justice.”

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 in the Summer months of 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Federalist</a> found, “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>

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Yao for comment but has not received a reply by the time of publication.

Dr. <a href="https://americanstudies.columbian.gwu.edu/elisabeth-anker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elisabeth Anker</a> is an Associate Professor of American Studies and Political Science at  <a href="https://americanstudies.columbian.gwu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">George Washington University</a> in Washington DC. The author of “<a href="https://www.dukeupress.edu/ugly-freedoms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ugly Freedoms</a>,” Dr. Anker has described freedom as a “slippery concept” that upholds patriarchy, <a href="https://read.dukeupress.edu/books/book/2974/Ugly-Freedoms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">colonialism, ecological destruction, and white supremacy</a>.
In an article for the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC), Dr. Anker <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/radio/checkup/what-s-your-reaction-to-the-ottawa-standoff-and-the-border-blockades-1.6349636/why-the-word-freedom-is-such-a-useful-rallying-cry-for-protesters-1.6349865" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vilifies right-wing and conservative groups who utilize “freedom” as their rallying cry to remove COVID-19 restrictions</a>. Her comments were published just as the Canadian government began cracking down on the “Freedom Convoy” by using emergency police powers.
The Freedom Convoy was organized in the winter of 2022 to protest the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/01/29/trucker-freedom-convoy-set-to-protest-justin-trudeaus-vaccine-mandates/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canadian government&#8217;s enforcement of a vaccination mandate for truckers</a>. Participants parked their trucks in downtown Ottawa and halted traffic for weeks in front of the Canadian Parliament. Elsewhere, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/02/08/freedom-convoy-supporters-block-traffic-canadas-busiest-border-crossing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">truck drivers blocked vital points of entry on the US-Canadian border</a>.
After several weeks, the city police began <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/canadian-police-seize-fuel-trucker-covid-protest-court-silences-horns-rcna15294" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seizing fuel and other supplies</a> from the convoy. The crowdfunding site, “GoFundMe,” <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/ottawa-police-admit-to-lobbying-gofundme-to-withhold-funds-from-canadian-truckers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pulled a donation page from the truckers at the request of the Ottawa Police</a>. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau authorized the use of the “Emergencies Act” which grants the Canadian government extrajudicial powers in breaking up the blockade.
The <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/freedom-convoy-trucker-protests-organizers-arrested" target="_blank" rel="noopener">organizers of the protest were soon arrested</a> and <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-freedom-convoy-organizer-tamara-lich-denied-bail?utm_campaign=64483" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held without bail</a>. Individuals who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-trudeau-announces-unprecedented-action-freezing-bank-accounts-of-freedom-convoy-protesters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">participated or donated to the convoy soon found their bank accounts frozen</a>. As police moved to clear the site of the protest, footage emerged of mounted units <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/woman-trampled-freedom-protest-indigenous-elder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trampling demonstrators, including an elderly woman in a mobility scooter</a>. Additional footage shows <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/video-rebel-news-journalist-assaulted-injured-by-police-at-freedom-convoy-protest-rebel-news-were-suing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">police injuring reporters</a> and <a href="https://townhall.com/tipsheet/juliorosas/2022/02/18/ottawa-police-threatens-media-with-arrest-amid-crackdown-on-trucker-protests-n2603491" target="_blank" rel="noopener">threatening others with arrest for covering the protest.</a>
In the days leading up to the crackdown, Dr. Anker described the protests as a “violent” form of freedom and accused the “far-right” of abusing liberties to oppose equity.
“On the far right, [individual freedom] is often translated into somebody who refuses to be bound by norms of equality, treating all people equally or norms to remedy inequality, whether that’s trying to remedy racial discrimination or gender discrimination.”
She further laments how Canadians take advantage of the concept of freedom as a “national entitlement,” just as Americans do.
“It&#8217;s been taking a lot of people by surprise to see people in Canada, who often seem so much more accepting of social interdependence, to start pushing back against it with the language of individual freedom.”
In a previous article for the New York Times—titled, “<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220204102257/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/04/opinion/ugly-freedom-discrimination-racism-sexism.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Exploitation of ‘Freedom’ in America</a>,”—Dr. Anker condemns Americans who cite their “ugly freedoms” to remove mask mandates and prohibit abortions.
“Each of these actions used the language of freedom to justify anti-democratic politics. These, then, are what I call “ugly freedoms”: used to block the teaching of certain ideas, diminish employees&#8217; ability to have power in the workplace, and undermine public health.
“These are not merely misunderstood freedoms, or even just a cynical use of the language of freedom to frame bigoted policies. They manifest, instead, a particular interpretation of freedom that is not expansive, but exclusionary and coercive.”
She goes on to write that the “long history of ugly freedoms” includes justifications for slavery, marital abuse, and segregation; freedoms in America, she argues, have suppressed “nonwhites, women, and workers,” and have been used to justify white supremacy.
As of publication, the Canadian Parliament has just voted <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/canadian-parliament-votes-to-extend-emergencies-act-for-30-days/#slide-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to extend the Emergencies Act</a>.

In <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/09/09/bidens-six-step-covid-strategy-does-not-go-far-enough-compel-vaccinations/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=wp_opinions&amp;utm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an article published by the Washington Post</a>, Dr. Wen alleges that President Biden’s six-pronged strategy for COVID vaccination doesn’t go far enough. In her opinion, he is not doing enough to compel the unvaccinated to get vaccinated, and he needs to do even more. She argues that “the administration can and must go much further.”

One of her many complaints is that President Biden has not mandated vaccinations for plane and train travel. Dr. Wen believes the government should use its power to implement this mandate in order to “make it clear that there are consequences to remaining unvaccinated.” Dr. Wen alleges that travel is a privilege, not a right.

Dr. Wen is a huge proponent of vaccine passports. She notes that Israel and the European Union have vaccine verification methods, and the United States should as well.

Dr. Wen also thinks that all children over 12 years old should be required to be vaccinated, and the COVID vaccine should be added to the other immunization requirements for children. Dr. Wen explains how she would convince parents to vaccinate their children <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9W7IJdig7w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in this video</a>.

Dr. <a href="https://americanstudies.columbian.gwu.edu/elisabeth-anker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elisabeth Anker</a> is an Associate Professor of American Studies and Political Science at  <a href="https://americanstudies.columbian.gwu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">George Washington University</a> in Washington DC. The author of “<a href="https://www.dukeupress.edu/ugly-freedoms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ugly Freedoms</a>,” Dr. Anker has described freedom as a “slippery concept” that upholds patriarchy, <a href="https://read.dukeupress.edu/books/book/2974/Ugly-Freedoms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">colonialism, ecological destruction, and white supremacy</a>.

In an article for the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC), Dr. Anker <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/radio/checkup/what-s-your-reaction-to-the-ottawa-standoff-and-the-border-blockades-1.6349636/why-the-word-freedom-is-such-a-useful-rallying-cry-for-protesters-1.6349865" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vilifies right-wing and conservative groups who utilize “freedom” as their rallying cry to remove COVID-19 restrictions</a>. Her comments were published just as the Canadian government began cracking down on the “Freedom Convoy” by using emergency police powers.

The Freedom Convoy was organized in the winter of 2022 to protest the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/01/29/trucker-freedom-convoy-set-to-protest-justin-trudeaus-vaccine-mandates/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canadian government's enforcement of a vaccination mandate for truckers</a>. Participants parked their trucks in downtown Ottawa and halted traffic for weeks in front of the Canadian Parliament. Elsewhere, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/02/08/freedom-convoy-supporters-block-traffic-canadas-busiest-border-crossing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">truck drivers blocked vital points of entry on the US-Canadian border</a>.

After several weeks, the city police began <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/canadian-police-seize-fuel-trucker-covid-protest-court-silences-horns-rcna15294" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seizing fuel and other supplies</a> from the convoy. The crowdfunding site, “GoFundMe,” <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/ottawa-police-admit-to-lobbying-gofundme-to-withhold-funds-from-canadian-truckers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pulled a donation page from the truckers at the request of the Ottawa Police</a>. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau authorized the use of the “Emergencies Act” which grants the Canadian government extrajudicial powers in breaking up the blockade.

The <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/freedom-convoy-trucker-protests-organizers-arrested" target="_blank" rel="noopener">organizers of the protest were soon arrested</a> and <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-freedom-convoy-organizer-tamara-lich-denied-bail?utm_campaign=64483" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held without bail</a>. Individuals who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-trudeau-announces-unprecedented-action-freezing-bank-accounts-of-freedom-convoy-protesters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">participated or donated to the convoy soon found their bank accounts frozen</a>. As police moved to clear the site of the protest, footage emerged of mounted units <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/woman-trampled-freedom-protest-indigenous-elder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trampling demonstrators, including an elderly woman in a mobility scooter</a>. Additional footage shows <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/video-rebel-news-journalist-assaulted-injured-by-police-at-freedom-convoy-protest-rebel-news-were-suing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">police injuring reporters</a> and <a href="https://townhall.com/tipsheet/juliorosas/2022/02/18/ottawa-police-threatens-media-with-arrest-amid-crackdown-on-trucker-protests-n2603491" target="_blank" rel="noopener">threatening others with arrest for covering the protest.</a>

In the days leading up to the crackdown, Dr. Anker described the protests as a “violent” form of freedom and accused the “far-right” of abusing liberties to oppose equity.

“On the far right, [individual freedom] is often translated into somebody who refuses to be bound by norms of equality, treating all people equally or norms to remedy inequality, whether that’s trying to remedy racial discrimination or gender discrimination.”

She further laments how Canadians take advantage of the concept of freedom as a “national entitlement,” just as Americans do.

“It's been taking a lot of people by surprise to see people in Canada, who often seem so much more accepting of social interdependence, to start pushing back against it with the language of individual freedom.”

In a previous article for the New York Times—titled, “<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220204102257/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/04/opinion/ugly-freedom-discrimination-racism-sexism.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Exploitation of ‘Freedom’ in America</a>,”—Dr. Anker condemns Americans who cite their “ugly freedoms” to remove mask mandates and prohibit abortions.

“Each of these actions used the language of freedom to justify anti-democratic politics. These, then, are what I call “ugly freedoms”: used to block the teaching of certain ideas, diminish employees' ability to have power in the workplace, and undermine public health.

“These are not merely misunderstood freedoms, or even just a cynical use of the language of freedom to frame bigoted policies. They manifest, instead, a particular interpretation of freedom that is not expansive, but exclusionary and coercive.”

She goes on to write that the “long history of ugly freedoms” includes justifications for slavery, marital abuse, and segregation; freedoms in America, she argues, have suppressed “nonwhites, women, and workers,” and have been used to justify white supremacy.

As of publication, the Canadian Parliament has just voted <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/canadian-parliament-votes-to-extend-emergencies-act-for-30-days/#slide-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to extend the Emergencies Act</a>. The Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, Chrystia Freeland, has indicated that certain emergency powers will remain permanent.

<a href="https://www.geneseo.edu/math/macula" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Anthony Macula</a> is a Professor of Mathematics at the <a href="https://www.geneseo.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">State University of New York at Geneseo</a> (SUNY-Geneseo). Dr. Macula has accused former President Donald J. Trump of embodying the “white power” movement, and labeled Trump voters as “civically irresponsible.”
Following the presidential victory of Donald J. Trump in November of 2016, Dr. Macula sent out an email—obtained by the Livingston County News—addressing the election to roughly 600 staff members at the university. In the letter, Dr. Macula <a href="https://www.thelcn.com/news/local/in-mass-email-suny-geneseo-professor-asks-trump-supporters-do-you-believe-in-white-power/article_9da767a7-ebeb-527d-b7cf-b50ffd2786c2.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accuses Trump’s campaign of “legitimizing the white supremacy movement.</a>” He further demands to know the rationale of the email recipients who “irresponsibly voted for Trump.”

He continues,
“I would like to know why. Why have many of our local business, civic and political figures supported Trump? Who are you? Please explain your vote because this is not the same thing as voting for Romney, Bush, Dole or Reagan. In my mind, the “aid and comfort” that Trump has given to the white power movement is a grave and existential threat to our democracy. I just don’t see putting that aside for an economic policy position or some other social or personal affirmation found in a vote or [sic] Trump.”
Dr. Macula accuses Trump voters of “abandoning their civic responsibility” and prefaces that he will pose two questions towards Trump voters who receive his email:
“If you voted for Trump, my default opinion is that you abandoned your civic responsibility. Maybe you could convince me otherwise; I am open to talking. Let me know you voted for Trump. I will in turn ask you the questions below and we can go from there.”
Dr. Macula then asks Trump supporters what he considers to be “reasonable questions;” Do they believe in “white supremacy,” and do they believe in a “multiethnic democracy?”
“For all other Trump voters, I favor accountability first and understanding second. So, you voted for a candidate who embodies the white power movement and was enthusiastically endorsed by the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis and other white supremacy groups. I think it perfectly reasonable to ask you the following questions:
&#8211; Do you believe in white power and the supremacy (of) the white race?
&#8211; Do (you) believe that a multiethnic and multicultural democracy and succeed?
“Yes” or “No.” I will respond accordingly.” 
Following a public outcry, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6k1HUuXIdA&amp;ab_channel=FoxNews">Dr. Macula proceeded to defend his remarks on </a>Tucker Carlson Tonight in December of 2016.

<a href="https://www.masscomm.txst.edu/people/faculty/terry-bertling.html">Terry Scott Bertling</a> is a professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Texas State University. Bertling has been involved in the journalism field for many years, as stated on her university profile. 
According to <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=20480">Campus Reform</a>, students were assigned “an AP-style quiz” that mocked a conservative radio host who is deceased. The specific question [obtained by Campus Reform]  was multiple-choice and displayed with two examples of the same sentence: 
“He was the second right-wing radio host who mocked vaccines before dying of COVID-19” and “He was the second right wing radio host who mocked vaccines before dying of COVID-19.”
This quiz comes from the <a href="http://mycatalog.txstate.edu/undergraduate/fine-arts-communication/journalism-mass/#coursestext">“Editing and Managing Content” course</a> in the Mass Communication Department. The course description states: “Students will incorporate words, images, sound and data into storytelling across platforms. This course tightens the focus on audience, accuracy, meaning, logic, organization, style and form.”
Campus Reform reports that Office of Media Relations employee, Jayme Blaschke, “told Campus Reform that the ‘example sentences included in the assignment were all taken from published news articles.’”

Texas State University

<a href="https://www.txstate.edu/history/people/faculty/bishop.html">Elizabeth Bishop</a> is an associate professor in the History Department at Texas State University (TXST).

&nbsp;
Censorship
In 2017, Bishop attempted to have a conservative student and another professional fired from their jobs due to comments each made on Facebook with which Bishop disagreed.

The controversy began with a <a href="https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tyler-o-neil/2017/04/01/texas-prof-tries-to-get-conservatives-fired-over-facebook-argument-n51022">post</a> by Texas State University Student Body Vice President, Colton Duncan, who objected to TXST hosting <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Angela-Davis">Angela Davis</a> as a speaker. Davis, a Vice-Presidential candidate for the Communist Party USA, was once one of the <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/topten-history/hires_images/FBI-309-AngelaYvonneDavis.jpg/view">FBI’s most wanted criminals </a>for the murder of a trial judge. PJ Media reports <a href="https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tyler-o-neil/2017/04/01/texas-prof-tries-to-get-conservatives-fired-over-facebook-argument-n51022">Duncan calling Davis</a> an “American terrorist,” while simultaneously denying the College Republicans the opportunity to host their women’s empowerment summit.

According to Campus Reform, Bishop then <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9002">replied</a> to Duncan’s post, stating it was a “shame” that students didn’t know the difference between Hitler and Stalin.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1161 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-08T135906.192-e1615237216944-1024x358.png" alt="" width="580" height="203" />

Alexander Morrisette, an employee of the conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF), commented on Bishop’s reply, stating, “Enemies can have similar goals, interests, and dreams of autocratic control.”

Morrisette’s response evolved into a debate with Bishop in Facebook’s comment section. As each continued posting comments, an anonymous student, whose identity cannot be verified, proceeded to “like'' all of Morrisette’s comments. This prompted Bishop to call Texas State University department that employed the student who had “liked” Morrisette’s comments asking that the student, and those whom Bishop described as the student’s “associates,” be investigated for “hate speech.” According to Campus Reform, Bishop also <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9002">demanded</a> that the university department that employed dismiss her from all leadership positions.

In an attempt to damage Morrisette’s employment, Bishop also contacted TPPF claiming that Morrisette had made disparaging remarks about her. Bishop, however, <a href="https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tyler-o-neil/2017/04/01/texas-prof-tries-to-get-conservatives-fired-over-facebook-argument-n51022">refused</a> to give any further details.

<a href="https://www.polisci.txstate.edu/people/faculty-bios/henderson.html">Rick Henderson</a>, a Senior Lecturer at Texas State University, accused multiple Republican presidential candidates of “talking out of [their] ass[es],” including Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Rand Paul, and Carly Fiorina. According to an audio recording of the class, Henderson said “So I guess if you’re Rand Paul you just go, ‘hmm, what can I pull out my ass?’ And Carly Fiorina saying that marijuana is more dangerous than beer? Talking out of her ass! And Ted Cruz, I can’t tell the difference between his mouth and his ass. I mean, what are you talking about? Are you insane?’” The diatribe caused the department chair to remind “Professor Henderson of the need to maintain a classroom climate that honors the principles of free and open expression while maintaining an appropriate level of civility.”

<a href="https://www.txst.edu/history/people/faculty-staff/goldstone.html">Dr. Dwonna Naomi Goldstone</a> is an Associate Professor of History and the Director of the African-American Studies program at <a href="https://www.txst.edu/">Texas State University</a>. Dr. Goldstone teaches two courses that are required for the African-American Studies program: AAS 2310: Intro to African American Studies, and AAS 4320: Global Perspectives on the African Diaspora.

According to Dr. Goldstone’s university profile, she is currently working on three essays: one about Barbara Conrad Smith, a black undergraduate student at the University of Texas in its first year of integration (1956-1957) who was removed from the school’s opera; a second titled “Teaching While Black: A Black Professor in Trump Land”; and a third on teaching feminism in a men’s prison. 

Dr. Goldstone gave a presentation “The ‘Last’ Vestige of Segregation at UT: Desegregating the Dormitories” at the Univesity of Texas at Austin on April 21, 2022. You can watch the presentation below:

&nbsp;

Additionally, Dr. Goldstone has made <a href="https://www.theleafchronicle.com/story/life/2016/04/08/focus-racial-tension-still-evident-campus-society/82674382/">comments referring to race, such as</a> “I have black and white students in my classes. I get the feeling a lot of the white students are there only because they have to take a diversity course. They sometimes seem resistant to the conversation. I have some students who try to speak their truth, only for it to be denied, or diminished by others. There is just not enough conversation between the races.”

These statements were made during an interview with The Leaf-Chronicle while she was a professor of English at <a href="https://www.apsu.edu/">Austin Peay State University</a>. Dr. Goldstone was in charge of the African-American studies minor program for the last six years; she stated: “I do feel that my job, as a black professor, is to help black students specifically, to get through, but I have students of all colors coming to my office, and I help everybody… I still believe that you have to be twice as good to be equal to white people.”

“He was the second right-wing radio host who mocked vaccines before dying of COVID-19” and “He was the second right wing radio host who mocked vaccines before dying of COVID-19.”

This quiz comes from the <a href="http://mycatalog.txstate.edu/undergraduate/fine-arts-communication/journalism-mass/#coursestext">“Editing and Managing Content” course</a> in the Mass Communication Department. The course description states: “Students will incorporate words, images, sound and data into storytelling across platforms. This course tightens the focus on audience, accuracy, meaning, logic, organization, style and form.”

Campus Reform reports that Office of Media Relations employee, Jayme Blaschke, “told Campus Reform that the ‘example sentences included in the assignment were all taken from published news articles.’”

According to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=20506">Campus Reform</a>, Werner and a few other educators recently published an article, titled: “<a href="https://www.chronicle.com/article/promotion-rejected-your-record-may-not-be-the-problem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Promotion Rejected?

<a href="https://liberalarts.tamu.edu/anthropology/profile/filipe-vieira-de-castro/">Filipe Vieira de Castro</a> is the Frederic R. Mayer Fellow II of Nautical Archaeology, an Anthropology professor, and the Director of the Ship Reconstruction Laboratory at Texas A&amp;M University. Castro is virulently anti-Israel, has expressed anti-Christian sentiments numerous times, slandered prominent conservatives, and confronted Turning Point USA students on campus.

As confirmed by a member of the TPUSA chapter at Texas A&amp;M, Castro approached and immediately began arguing with them while they were tabling at the Memorial Student Center (MSC). Posting about the event later, he stated that TPUSA students should have no place at a university and even joked in a reply to a comment that they should be sent to the gulag for “re-education.”

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-789 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-19-at-5.05.44-PM.png" alt="" width="347" height="569" />

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-809 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-19-at-5.06.13-PM-1.png" alt="" width="347" height="236" />

&nbsp;

Castro, among other protestors at Texas A&amp;M University, advocated for the removal of a statue of Sullivan Ross, a Confederate General and former President of the university. When <a href="http://www.thebatt.com/news/protesters-voice-their-opinions-for-and-against-the-sul-ross-statue/article_6b24ced2-ade4-11ea-a872-875170880ccd.html">interviewed</a>, he stated that the statue represented “racism” and “exclusion.”

“Why do we want a statue that stands for racism and exclusion and hatred? Statues are just artifacts, they are not history...History is in the library. If you really want to know the history of the Confederacy, go to the library.” 

While protesting to take down certain statues, he is also an advocate for erecting one of convicted terrorist Susan Rosenberg.

“With ups and downs, she has dedicated her life to fighting injustice. She deserves a statue.” 

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-791 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-19-at-5.08.44-PM.png" alt="" width="347" height="380" />

&nbsp;

As a self-described “rabid anti-Zionist,” Castro is a fierce opponent of the state of Israel. He regularly launches into antisemitic tirades on his personal social media account.

“Yes Israel is the world's largest open air lunatic asylum in the world and the raving lunatics happen to belong to the most educated (and thus resourceful) community in the world....they can, and probably will, kill us all.”

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-793 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-19-at-5.24.27-PM.png" alt="" width="330" height="434" />

&nbsp;

“But this is a genocidal war. Israel is fighting a genocidal war against Palestinians.”

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-794 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-19-at-5.29.09-PM.png" alt="" width="396" height="286" />

&nbsp;

“The Likud has been the Israeli Tea Party...It just takes the right guy...to energize it and channel it towards some easy target. That’s what Hitler did.”

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-795" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-19-at-5.30.37-PM.png" alt="" width="344" height="153" />

&nbsp;

His most incendiary rant was reserved for July 8th. Describing Jews as “savages” and “animals,” Castro compared the modern state of Israel to apartheid-era South Africa before castigating Jews for being insufficiently aware of their persecution in the Holocaust.

“Sadistic motherf******. Racist, savage creeps. The same hatred as in South Africa in the 1980s. Animals. And if it can be more shocking, these creeps should know how it feels to be dehumanized, insulted, beaten, assassinated for religious reasons. They ought to ask their grandparents how it felt to be persecuted.”

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-796 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-19-at-5.31.51-PM.png" alt="" width="350" height="583" />

&nbsp;

Castro’s ire is not only reserved for Jews. According to him, “superstitious” Christians only support Israel out of a subliminal admiration for Adolf Hitler;

“But the majority of Zionists are Evangelical Christians that want all the Jews to go to Israel so that God can bring about Armageddon or, in other words, end Hitler’s work. And their racism is stupid and violent and superstitious.”  

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-797 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-19-at-5.32.59-PM.png" alt="" width="350" height="396" />

&nbsp;

Castro regularly berates Christians, Jews, and other religions online.

“Certain forms of idiocy must be criminalized. America needs to go medieval on hate crimes. Police brutality on African Americans, crimes of antisemitism, Islamophobe, homophobia….Start with the instigators: pastors, imams, rabbis, nazi pundits, etc.”  

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-808 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Castro.jpg" alt="" width="293" height="506" />

&nbsp;

“I am always amazed with the hatred with which American Christians hate the world. They are always threatening a country (now it is Iran) or planning to invade a region, and blaming the victims for trying to defend themselves.” 

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-799 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-19-at-5.35.07-PM.png" alt="" width="391" height="261" />

&nbsp;

“Sure, Make the last rabbi eat the last priest and then hang him with the last entrails of the last imam. We would all prefer if there were no mosques, no churches, no synagogues, just libraries, and museums.” 

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-800" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-19-at-5.36.11-PM.png" alt="" width="267" height="412" />

&nbsp;

In one post, he commented that Christians should be allowed to die from COVID as the cost of attending services.

“They all want to go to church next Sunday, eat their god, or whatever they do. I think that they should be allowed to go, but before they should sign a paper and give up the write to a ventilator.”  

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-801 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-19-at-5.37.13-PM.png" alt="" width="397" height="219" />

&nbsp;

Prior to this, Castro seemingly celebrated that Liberty University students would potentially die from COVID:

“Christians thinning the herd :)”

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-802 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-19-at-5.37.59-PM.png" alt="" width="397" height="465" />

&nbsp;

Castro has gloated over prominent conservatives like Herman Cain and Louie Gohmert contracting and dying from COVID:

“And it is true: Covid kills the poor. It also kills some stupid, like Herman Cain, but it mostly kills the poor.” 

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-804" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-19-at-5.40.24-PM-222x300.png" alt="" width="226" height="305" />

&nbsp;

In other posts, he celebrated Rush Limbaugh’s cancer diagnosis, called Jordan Peterson a fascist, and claimed that Tucker Carlson is the “voice” of the Ku Klux Klan.   He wrote, “Is it horrible that I actually felt happy to learn that Rush Limbaugh is dying...I just have a nice warm feeling in my heart...?”

&nbsp;

<img class="wp-image-805 size-full aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-19-at-5.41.06-PM.png" alt="" width="397" height="209" />

&nbsp;

“Jordan Peterson doesn’t have the balls to come out as the misogynist fascist that he really is.” 

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-806 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-19-at-5.42.00-PM.png" alt="" width="274" height="314" />

&nbsp;

“So now, without his top writer cretin Tucker, something is not going to be the voice of the KKK anymore? Good to know.” 

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-807 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-19-at-5.42.31-PM.png" alt="" width="293" height="359" />

&nbsp;

He has also repeatedly attacked police officers, describing units as being “full of klansmen.”

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-792 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-19-at-5.10.12-PM.png" alt="" width="400" height="234" />

Castro has recently received <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2020/08/19/texas-a-m-prof-filipe-castro-calls-trump-fat-klansman-hopes-he-gets-coronavirus/">widespread attention</a> for these and other incendiary remarks from various news outlets.

<a href="https://liberalarts.tamu.edu/anthropology/profile/michael-alvard/">Michael Alvard</a> is an associate professor and Cultural Anthropology Program Coordinator at Texas A&amp;M University.

In June of 2020, Alvard was <a href="https://www.kbtx.com/content/news/Texas-AM-professor-arrested-during-Saturdays-protest--571251361.html">arrested</a> while protesting at the Lawrence Sullivan Ross statue on campus. The Young Democratic Socialists of America at Texas A&amp;M posted his $3,000 bail which may have <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=15230">violated</a> university rules on approved student organizations using personal banking accounts. Alvard <a href="https://www.kbtx.com/content/news/Texas-AM-professor-arrested-during-Saturdays-protest--571251361.html">released a statement</a> to a local news station, KTBX, alleging that the statue represents “institutional racism” and Ross’ life “represented ethnic cleansing, violence, slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow racism.” In his statement, he also insinuated that police officers regularly harm and kill black Americans.

"I’m a white male of privilege. Yesterday, I knew that the police would not kill me or throw me to the ground or stomp on my neck. I can afford to post bail. I’m not the story. The story is the lives of black people and other people of color in our community who must suffer day-in and day-out with the institutional racism that the Ross statue represents." 

Alvard liberally shares his views on his social media, connecting Mount Rushmore to white supremacy, sharing guides of how to tear down statues, and most strikingly, boasting how he lectures his students on how America is a systematically racist nation.

Dr. Markowitz is also an active member of the Communist Party USA since 1978.  He writes and teaches about communism using his “Marxist Perspective.” As a supporter of Obama, Markowitz said that it would be good if Obama’s policies were labeled socialist because it would bring socialism to the forefront and looked at more seriously as a viable option for Americans. He has been a longtime defender of the Communist spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, and has said he has “enormous respect” for Howard Zinn, a Marxist historian.

<a href="http://www.polisci.rutgers.edu/cb-profile/userprofile/whfield">Dr. William Field</a>, a professor at Rutgers University, sent out an email to all political science majors and minors to protest against Condoleeza Rice serving as their commencement speaker. He was also said to have congratulated one of the lead organizers of the protest who had damaged university property.

<a href="https://law.rutgers.edu/directory/view/mbk69" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Margo Kaplan</a> is a Professor of Law at <a href="https://law.rutgers.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rutgers University Law School</a> in Camden, New Jersey. According to her university biography, she teaches courses on “Criminal Law, Health Law and Policy, and Sex Crimes” and explores the “legal limitations on intimate decisions.”

Dr. Kaplan has spent her academic career attempting to normalize pedophilia. In a paper for the <a href="https://scholarlycommons.law.wlu.edu/wlulr/vol72/iss1/4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington and Lee Law Review</a>, she advocates for the reclassification of pedophilia as a mental disorder so that pedophiles may be awarded more civil rights:

“...we should not categorically deny pedophilia the civil rights protections afforded to other mental disorders without a convincing normative justification supported by cogent scientific evidence. Strengthening civil rights protections for those with pedophilia also increases access to treatment and support that helps prevent child abuse.”

In a similar piece for the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/opinion/pedophilia-a-disorder-not-a-crime.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York</a><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/opinion/pedophilia-a-disorder-not-a-crime.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Times</a>—titled, "Pedophilia: A Disorder, Not a Crime,"—Dr. Kaplan attempts a sickening effort to lure readers into sympathizing with pedophiles by characterizing pedophiles as adolescents with harmless, childhood crushes.

“THINK back to your first childhood crush. Maybe it was a classmate or a friend next door. Most likely, through school and into adulthood, your affections continued to focus on others in your approximate age group. But imagine if they did not. By some estimates, 1 percent of the male population continues, long after puberty, to find themselves attracted to prepubescent children. These people are living with pedophilia, a sexual attraction to prepubescents that often constitutes a mental illness. Unfortunately, our laws are failing them and, consequently, ignoring opportunities to prevent child abuse.”

Her intellectual sleight of hand is prevalent in both pieces. Kaplan blames the abuse of children partially on what she views as the severity in which society treats pedophilia, resulting in pedophiles abstaining from seeking treatment.

When later interviewed by <a href="https://www.phillymag.com/news/2014/10/06/pedophilia-not-a-crime-rutgers-margo-kaplan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia Magazine</a>, Dr. Kapland claimed to be “shocked” at the amount of support she had received, accusing critics she did have of not even reading her article.

<a href="https://history.rutgers.edu/people/faculty/details/1143-bray-mark">Mark Bray</a> is a part-time lecturer in the Department of History at Rutgers University.

Bray first gained notoriety in 2017 when he <a href="https://www.mhpbooks.com/books/antifa/">authored</a> "The Anti-Fascist Handbook," and offered to <a href="https://campusreform.org/?id=14972">donate</a> half of the proceeds to ANTIFA.

Bray fully endorses ANTIFA’s embrace of violence as a tactic, and often describes it as “self-defense”. He has <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9616">stated</a> that in order to “preemptively” shut down far-right events and gatherings,  “physical violence against white supremacists is both ethically justifiable and strategically effective.”

Soon after publication, he appeared on NBC to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/antifa-violence-ethical-author-explains-why-n796106">defend</a> the use of force against opposing protestors. He claimed that as an illiberal organization, ANTIFA has and will continue to shut down the free speech of the far right.

Bray recently penned an op-ed in the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/06/01/trump-antifa-terrorist-organization/">Washington Post</a> in the midst of mass-rioting following the death of George Floyd. After expressing sympathy with the looters, Bray claims that police officers are, in fact, deadlier than ANTIFA.  He wrote, “...and in the United States, ANTIFA have never killed anyone, unlike their enemies in Klan hoods and squad cars.” 

After his views were <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/red-alert-politics/dartmouth-president-disavows-professor-justified-antifa-violence-self-defense">condemned</a> by Dartmouth University - his employer at the time - Bray soon began lecturing at Rutgers, where his university biography describes him as a “historian of human rights, terrorism, and politics in Modern Europe.”

Much of her research and writing centers around the intersections of race, feminism, and gender. Cooper’s work has led her to develop a number of bizarre opinions:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">While Cooper claims that most American Christians worship a God of “white supremacy and patriarchy,” she chooses to<a href="https://www.salon.com/2015/04/01/the_rights_made_up_god_how_bigots_invented_a_white_supremacist_jesus/"> worship a Jesus that was “queer”</a> and “married to a prostitute."</li>

Cooper has attributed most of the deaths from the pandemic to racism and conservatives, stating that, “I feel like most Black people are clear that this utterly absurd push to re-open the country is all about a gross necropolitical calculation that it is Black people who are dying disproportionately from COVID,” and <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/rutgers-university-prof-reopening-the-country-is-about-killing-black-people/">blaming Trump supporters for the hundreds of thousands of deaths</a> due to the coronavirus.

Cooper has previously stated that a conservative’s beliefs are “rooted in racism.” In an appearance on MSNBC, <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/duncan-schroeder/2020/08/30/deranged-msnbc-pundit-goes-hateful-rant-against-trump-voters">Cooper stated that conservatives have a desire for power</a> at the expense of black and brown Americans.

Cooper has denigrated conservatives throughout her career along racial lines. <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?444245-2/eloquent-rage&amp;playEvent">During a speech in Baltimore</a>, she stated that as white men lose their power, they will continue to “terrorize” black men and women. In a previous thread, she stated that the black community is being eaten alive by “capitalism, patriarchy, and racism,” and white people won’t feel any negative consequences of these systems so long as they can continue to displace white people through systems like gentrification.

Ms. <a href="https://crimjust.rutgers.edu/people/faculty-directory/details/30-faculty/faculty/620-erakat-noura">Noura Erakat</a> is an Assistant Professor of Africana Studies at Rutgers University. According to her university profile, Professor Erakat specializes in fields that include international law, humanitarian law, human rights law, national security law, refugee law, and critical race theory. A harsh critic of the state of Israel, the professor has repeatedly demonized and called for the destruction of the only Jewish state in the world.

Professor Erakat’s work frequently characterizes Israel as a racist state that is equivalent to the apartheid-era South African government. In a November 2019 interview with DemocracyNow, she stated, ”<a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2019/11/19/noura_erakat_israeli_settlements_trump_announcement">we are witnessing the entrenchment of an apartheid regime</a>, and the U.S. [is] at the helm of that process.”

Professor Erakat repeats this false claim to justify her support of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. In a November 2020 video panel discussion with the Middle East Institute, Professor Erakat calls on the world <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S7ZkKMFUuU&amp;t=3956s">to resist and alienate Israel via adherence to a BDS platform</a>.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Noura-Erakat-Adhere-to-a-BDS-Platform.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

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.

Mr. Omar Barghouti, a co-founder of the BDS movement, admits that the ultimate outcome of these steps is the <a href="https://twitter.com/StandWithUs/status/1267561561565958144">dismantlement of the state of Israel</a>.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Professor Erakat likewise calls for Israel to be destroyed and replaced by an Arab-majority Palestinian state. As reported by The Spectator in July 2019, Ms. Erakat spoke at an event in Washington, DC, where she <a href="https://spectator.org/noura-erakat-recounts-her-anxiety-over-israels-existence/">advocated for Arabs to “help indigenize” Jews in Israel </a>in order to achieve a sole Palestinian state or a “one-state solution.”

Professor Erakat is far more brazen in calling for the outright destruction of Israel when speaking at anti-Israel protests around the country. During one march in May 2021—captured by News2Share—she called for the <a href="https://twitter.com/FordFischer/status/1393739882825195521/">liberation of Palestine, “from the river to the sea.</a>”

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Noura-Erakat-From-the-River-to-the-Sea-.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

According to the Israeli newspaper Arutz Sheva, the chant, “from the river to the sea,” was <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/291203">popularized by terrorist groups such as the Palestinian Liberation Organization</a> (PLO). The phrase alludes to the destruction of Israel—and thus the genocide of the nation’s Jews—between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1948/08/02/archives/aim-to-oust-jews-pledged-by-sheikh-head-of-moslem-brotherhood-says.html">The chant is thought to originate from the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan el-Banna</a>, who was qouted by The New York Times stating, "If the Jewish state becomes a fact, and this is realized by the Arab peoples, they will drive the Jews who live in their midst into the sea."

Even though Professor Erakat can be heard calling for the “denuclearization of Israel” in the same speech, she had in 2013 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I20HOx5zfv0&amp;ab_channel=JFhsfohhMN">condemned efforts to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program as “racist</a>.”

&nbsp;

She further <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tv/CMzhsZtBfgg/?igshid=5p918cganhq1">defended this position</a> in a video uploaded to her Instagram in March of 2021, arguing there is no contradiction in opposing sanctions for Iran while supporting sanctions on Israel.

During a separate march in May of 2021,  Ms. Erakat can be heard chanting “By spirit and by blood, we redeem you, Palestine!” in front of the Israeli Embassy.

&nbsp;

[video width="854" height="480" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Noura-Erakat.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

In April of 2020, Noura Erakat’s cousin, Mr. Ahmed Erakat, was killed after <a href="https://www.algemeiner.com/2020/06/29/palestinian-rams-a-checkpoint-death-lies-and-videotape/">ramming his car into an Israeli checkpoint during a failed terrorist attack</a>. Despite the publication of footage verifying the incident and a pipe bomb later being found in the van by investigators, Ms. Erakat continues to claim that he was murdered by Israeli forces.

Dr. James Livingston is <a href="https://history.rutgers.edu/faculty-directory/172-livingston-james" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a tenured Professor of History</a> at Rutgers University. His specialty is listed as Modern US: Intellectual and Economic History. He considers himself an “economic historian” and professionally writes many publications about politics, economics, and working in the United States.

In his personal time, Dr. Livingston often takes to Facebook to discuss similar topics, but in a less professional manner. <a href="https://pen.org/press-clip/white-professor-accused-of-antiwhite-racism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a Facebook post from May 31, 2018</a>, Dr. Livingston denounces the white race and belligerently asserts he “hates white people.” Later in the post, he calls white Americans “little caucasian assholes who know their parents will approve of anything they do” and “little shitheads.”

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1630" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-05-at-2.29.30-PM.png" alt="" width="557" height="322" />

&nbsp;

When Facebook flagged the post and took it down, rather than apologize for his racist rant, he posted the following:

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1631" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-05-at-2.30.14-PM.png" alt="" width="604" height="188" />

&nbsp;

Shortly after his anti-white tirade, Rutgers launched an investigation into his posts. The university stated that they received several anonymous complaints about the posts, calling them to take action against the Professor. Dr. Livingston claimed he was making a statement about gentrification and told university officials that white supremacists were sending him threatening messages.

The investigation was headed by Carolyn Dellatore, the associate director of the Office of Employment Equity. <a href="https://www.thefire.org/rutgers-investigation-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Her investigation found that</a> “given Professor Livingston’s insistence on making disparaging racial comments, a reasonable student may have concerns that he or she would be stigmatized in his classes because of his or her race. As such, Professor Livingston’s comments have violated university policy.” He argued, however, that his posts were not racist because white people cannot be discriminated against. He also argued that the first amendment gave him the right to freedom of speech.

The university initially decided to sanction Dr. Livingston, but they <a href="https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/2018/11/15/no-punishment-rutgers-university-professor-over-white-people-comments-facebook/2016377002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ultimately reversed their decision</a> in November 2018, clearing him of all charges. Dr. Livingston is still teaching at Rutgers University today.

<a href="https://comminfo.rutgers.edu/kumanyika-chenjerai">Dr. Chenjerai Kumanyika</a> is an Assistant Professor at Rutgers University.

The letter also calls for building a new multi-cultural center, more support for “underrepresented groups,” increasing the number of minority faculty members, and for Clemson employees to go through diversity training. Chenjerai also orchestrated a campaign against a student senate candidate and accused a candidate of racism for posing with a gun and American flag for his campaign poster.

<a href="https://eccles.utah.edu/team/sheena-mcfarland/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor Sheena McFarland</a> is the Director of Marketing and Communications at the University of Utah’s David Eccles School of Business. She is also an “Adjunct Instructor in the Department of Marketing and Department of Management at the Eccles School,” according to her university profile. 
In a Fall 2022 <a href="https://eccles.utah.edu/programs/undergraduate/bcor-schedule/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">marketing course</a> taught by McFarland – which is a required course for admission into the Eccles School of Business – the professor had her students participate in a “Bead Privilege Exercise” with the intention of exploring “how we ALL have SOME privilege, and… how to engage [with] that aspect of our life.” The class in which this exercise took place was virtual. 
In the exercise, the students had to answer a series of questions about sexuality, ability, gender/sex, religion, race, class, and nationality (U.S.) privileges. As students read the list of privileges, they had to take one bead and make a tick mark in order to keep track of their number of privileges. McFarland said as long as students participate in the assignment, even if they disagree with the premise behind it, they would receive credit. 
Jason Walker, a student taking McFarland’s marketing course at the time, provided exclusive audio of her class to the Watchlist Team. He shared his experience in McFarland’s class when the privilege lecture and assignment were given. Upon discovering that the class was assigned this exercise, he expressed his objections to it to McFarland. The professor confirmed with Walker that he would not get a zero for disagreeing with the premise of the assignment as long as he completed the assignment. 
Before the students began the assignment, McFarland gave a lecture in which she showed them several television ads containing multicultural content with the purpose of being more inclusive towards non-white races. According to Walker, the ads attempted to show the privilege white people have that other races allegedly do not have. Some of the ads presented in the lecture were made by companies like Coca-Cola and Procter &amp; Gamble. 
After the first series of ads were shown, McFarland opened the class to discussion. Walker told McFarland that he found the ads “ridiculously offensive” because to him they seemed to put white people in a privileged and racist position towards non-white races. He went on to say that there are instances in which non-white races are in a better position than whites. “This is not just a white against everyone else stance,” he said, refuting the agenda of the ads. Walker also addressed examples of white people being attacked by non-whites for being white, such as <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/nyc-teen-girls-arrested-hate-crime-charges-anti-white-assault" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an elderly white woman getting attacked</a> by a group of black girls on a bus in New York City in July of 2022. 
In response to Walker’s criticism of the ads, McFarland said, “I 100-percent look at this country as having some pretty deep-seated structural racism.” She claimed the ads “show a perspective that often isn’t presented in marketing.” Addressing his example of the elderly woman getting assaulted, McFarland replied, “If you believed that happened.”
After another series of ads, Walker said he believes the ads pick on white people and attempt to show that every white person has a bias towards non-whites. “Of course there is bias,” he said to McFarland, “Of course there are going to be racist people out there. But it&#8217;s not just whites against people…this isn’t a one-sided discussion, this never will be a one-sided discussion.” 
McFarland responded to his objection, saying, “In this country white folks have the power.” According to McFarland, these multicultural ads look the way they do because the companies who made them are challenging this alleged dominance of whites in the United States. 
Before the bead exercise began, McFarland advised the class about what she believes privilege is: “If you don’t have to think about it, it’s privilege.” Objecting, Walker cited breathing and simple math problems as privileges that aren’t specific to a race.
After Walker made his point, McFarland expressed that she would like the class to cease all discussion and begin the bead assignment. However, Walker insisted on contesting both the premise and objective of the assignment by continuing to argue and state his objections. Eventually, McFarland kicked him out of the virtual classroom.   
According to Walker, the grading rubric for the assignment was written in a way that forces students to agree with McFarland that privilege exists. The assignment also required students to explain “extremely personal” details about themselves, which he found to be an overstep of what a professor should be asking of students.  
Before the class took place, Walker emailed both the ​​Chief of Staff to Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and the Chair of the Marketing Department at the University of Utah about his issue with the upcoming marketing assignment. He said neither of them looked into the assignment after he emailed them, and allowed McFarland to “proceed with the lecture.” Thereafter Walker emailed McFarland requesting her to “eliminate” the privilege exercise from the course. She responded that she has no intention of removing the exercise.
Published &#8212; November 4, 2022

<a href="https://eccles.utah.edu/team/sheena-mcfarland/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor Sheena McFarland</a> is the Director of Marketing and Communications at the University of Utah’s David Eccles School of Business. She is also an “Adjunct Instructor in the Department of Marketing and Department of Management at the Eccles School,” according to her university profile. 

In a Fall 2022 <a href="https://eccles.utah.edu/programs/undergraduate/bcor-schedule/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">marketing course</a> taught by McFarland – which is a required course for admission into the Eccles School of Business – the professor had her students participate in a “Bead Privilege Exercise” with the intention of exploring “how we ALL have SOME privilege, and… how to engage [with] that aspect of our life.” The class in which this exercise took place was virtual. 

In the exercise, the students had to answer a series of questions about sexuality, ability, gender/sex, religion, race, class, and nationality (U.S.) privileges. As students read the list of privileges, they had to take one bead and make a tick mark in order to keep track of their number of privileges. McFarland said as long as students participate in the assignment, even if they disagree with the premise behind it, they would receive credit. 

Jason Walker, a student taking McFarland’s marketing course at the time, provided exclusive audio of her class to the Watchlist Team. He shared his experience in McFarland’s class when the privilege lecture and assignment were given. Upon discovering that the class was assigned this exercise, he expressed his objections to it to McFarland. The professor confirmed with Walker that he would not get a zero for disagreeing with the premise of the assignment as long as he completed the assignment. 

Before the students began the assignment, McFarland gave a lecture in which she showed them several television ads containing multicultural content with the purpose of being more inclusive towards non-white races. According to Walker, the ads attempted to show the privilege white people have that other races allegedly do not have. Some of the ads presented in the lecture were made by companies like Coca-Cola and Procter &amp; Gamble. 

After the first series of ads were shown, McFarland opened the class to discussion. Walker told McFarland that he found the ads “ridiculously offensive” because to him they seemed to put white people in a privileged and racist position towards non-white races. He went on to say that there are instances in which non-white races are in a better position than whites. “This is not just a white against everyone else stance,” he said, refuting the agenda of the ads. Walker also addressed examples of white people being attacked by non-whites for being white, such as <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/nyc-teen-girls-arrested-hate-crime-charges-anti-white-assault" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an elderly white woman getting attacked</a> by a group of black girls on a bus in New York City in July of 2022. 

In response to Walker’s criticism of the ads, McFarland said, “I 100-percent look at this country as having some pretty deep-seated structural racism.” She claimed the ads “show a perspective that often isn’t presented in marketing.” Addressing his example of the elderly woman getting assaulted, McFarland replied, “If you believed that happened.”

After another series of ads, Walker said he believes the ads pick on white people and attempt to show that every white person has a bias towards non-whites. “Of course there is bias,” he said to McFarland, “Of course there are going to be racist people out there. But it's not just whites against people…this isn’t a one-sided discussion, this never will be a one-sided discussion.” 

McFarland responded to his objection, saying, “In this country white folks have the power.” According to McFarland, these multicultural ads look the way they do because the companies who made them are challenging this alleged dominance of whites in the United States. 

Before the bead exercise began, McFarland advised the class about what she believes privilege is: “If you don’t have to think about it, it’s privilege.” Objecting, Walker cited breathing and simple math problems as privileges that aren’t specific to a race.

After Walker made his point, McFarland expressed that she would like the class to cease all discussion and begin the bead assignment. However, Walker insisted on contesting both the premise and objective of the assignment by continuing to argue and state his objections. Eventually, McFarland kicked him out of the virtual classroom.   

According to Walker, the grading rubric for the assignment was written in a way that forces students to agree with McFarland that privilege exists. The assignment also required students to explain “extremely personal” details about themselves, which he found to be an overstep of what a professor should be asking of students.  

Before the class took place, Walker emailed both the ​​Chief of Staff to Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and the Chair of the Marketing Department at the University of Utah about his issue with the upcoming marketing assignment. He said neither of them looked into the assignment after he emailed them, and allowed McFarland to “proceed with the lecture.” Thereafter Walker emailed McFarland requesting her to “eliminate” the privilege exercise from the course. She responded that she has no intention of removing the exercise.

<a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/socialsciences/historydept/faculty/faculty-lmaischak.html">Lars Maischak</a> is a lecturer in the Department of History at <a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/">California State University, Fresno</a>. According to his university <a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/socialsciences/historydept/faculty/faculty-lmaischak.html">biography</a>, Maischak teaches the courses, Colonial Americas, American History to 1877, England and Empire, United States 1789-1865, and Topics in History &#8211; Marx and Hegel for Historians. Maischak uses his personal Twitter account to call for the execution of the 45th President, Donald Trump, and refers to conservatives as fascists.
Maischak claims that fascism is the eventual result of capitalism in a paper titled, <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h6fiDilfQWGpUrKEh2zzCrBo_iOUHA8C/view">There can be no Democracy without Socialism</a>, shared on Google Drive. Describing fascism as the “creature of capitalism,” Maischak claims that capitalism facilitates the exploitation of workers, or what he describes as the establishment of a “dictatorship of capital over labor.&#8221;
Maischak further <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h6fiDilfQWGpUrKEh2zzCrBo_iOUHA8C/view">cites</a> the territorial expansion, slave labor, and the outlawing of unions in Nazi Germany as examples of capitalism’s logical end. He later describes the liberties inherent in capitalism as the freedom to commit mass murder and barbarism.

The phrase, “from the river to the sea”, was <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/291203" target="_blank" rel="noopener">popularized by terrorist groups such as the Palestinian Liberation Organization</a> (PLO) and alludes to the destruction of Israel—and thus the genocide of the nation’s Jews—between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1948/08/02/archives/aim-to-oust-jews-pledged-by-sheikh-head-of-moslem-brotherhood-says.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The chant is thought to originate from the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan el-Banna</a>, who was quoted by The New York Times stating, &#8220;If the Jewish state becomes a fact, and this is realized by the Arab peoples, they will drive the Jews who live in their midst into the sea.&#8221;
Dr. Jarrar—<a href="https://randajarrar.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who grew up in Egypt and Kuwait</a>—would later reveal that she attended PLO “after-school programs” to learn “resistance songs.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
As a Palestinian child in the &#8217;80s I attended PLO-sponsored after school programs, learned about my history, and sang resistance songs.
As a Palestinian femme in 2021, I karaoke &#8220;Toxic&#8221; and flog asses and put the BDS in BDSM.

Further statements range from <a href="https://www.salon.com/2014/03/18/i_still_cant_stand_white_belly_dancers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accusing white belly dancers of cultural appropriation</a> to demanding that all <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=11161" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white editors step down from their positions</a>.

In one tweet about the former First Lady, she called Barbara Bush an “amazing racist” who “raised a war criminal.” In another tweet, she claimed to be “happy the witch is dead.”
After experiencing blowback for her remarks, Dr. Jarrar taunted her followers by claiming that she is a tenured professor who makes $100,000 a year and will never be fired.
When the university was asked to comment, <a href="http://www.fresnostatenews.com/2018/04/24/president-joseph-i-castro-letter-on-conclusion-of-review-regarding-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Castro stated</a>, “We share the deep concerns expressed by others over the personal comments made today by Professor Randa Jarrar, a professor in the English Department at Fresno State.

Dr. Jarrar faced no repercussions and returned to her teaching duties soon-there-after.
In the midst of the controversy, Dr. Jarrar wrote, “If you really wanna reach me, here’s my number ok?”, before <a href="https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/tempe/2018/04/19/fresno-state-professor-randa-jarrar-prank-floods-asu-hotline-barbara-bush/532486002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posting the landline of the ASU crisis line, causing the center to become inundated with calls</a>.

Rabab Abdulhadi

<a href="https://amed.sfsu.edu/content/rabab-abdulhadi-profile">Rabab Abdulhadi</a> is a professor of Arab &amp; Muslim Ethnicities &amp; Diasporas and  Race &amp; Resistance Studies at San Francisco State University.
Abdullah is <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Rabab_Abdulhadi">regarded</a> as a virulently anti-Israel activist. At a UCLA lecture, she equated support for Israel with <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=13849">white supremacy</a>, and reportedly asked Jewish Israel supporters to distance themselves from “white supremacy.”
In 2018, Abdullhadi declared that Zionists are not welcome at SFSU in a lengthy Facebook <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=13849">post.</a>
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-940 size-full" src="http://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-03-at-12.59.47-PM.png" alt="" width="547" height="281" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-03-at-12.59.47-PM.png 547w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-03-at-12.59.47-PM-300x154.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 547px) 100vw, 547px" />
Abdulhadi is most notorious for using taxpayer funds in 2014 to meet with convicted terrorists. As part of a <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=5686">university-sponsored trip</a>, she led a delegation of academics and activists to the Middle East to meet convicted terrorists Leila Khaled and Sheikh Raed Salah. Abdulhadi was already known for her <a href="https://www.meforum.org/5233/abdulhad-hamas-universities">attempts to establish ties</a> between San Francisco State University with universities in the West Bank, which has a strong presence of the terrorist group, Hamas.
Abdulhadi drew further outrage when she announced her chairmanship of<a href="https://nypost.com/2020/09/24/zoom-scraps-event-featuring-palestinian-hijacker-leila-khaled/"> a panel including Leila Khaled</a>.  A member of a <a href="https://www.state.gov/foreign-terrorist-organizations/">US-designated terror organization</a>, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Khaled hijacked numerous airplanes in the 1970s on behalf of the PFLP. Dismissing criticism of the events, Abdulhadi claimed the pushback was <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/61720/sfsu-professor-goes-on-antisemitic-rant-about">organized by a supposed “Jewish Caucus.”</a>
