Damon Sajnani

<a href="https://african.wisc.edu/staff/damon-sajnani/">Dr. Damon Sanjani</a> is a Professor of African Cultural Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While recently he has been in the news for teaching a course called &#8220;The Problem of Whiteness&#8221;, Sanjani is far more controversial than just that class on race relations and white supremacy. He previously retweeted a tweet about assassinating Donald Trump and tweeted in support of the Dallas cop killings.

While recently he has been in the news for teaching a course called "The Problem of Whiteness", Sanjani is far more controversial than just that class on race relations and white supremacy. He previously retweeted a tweet about assassinating Donald Trump and tweeted in support of the Dallas cop killings.

<a href="https://gws.wisc.edu/staff/schalk-sami/">Dr. Sami Schalk</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Gender and Women’s Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. According to her university biography, Schalk’s work is centered on “disability, race, and gender in contemporary American literature and culture.” Schalk has risen to prominence recently due to her racially inflammatory remarks and sympathy towards rioters tearing down statues.

In a now-deleted exchange and series of tweets, Schalk <a href="https://campusreform.org/?ID=14268">stated</a> that white people can’t decide what is racist: 

“This is your semi-annual reminder that white people do not get to determine what is &amp; is not racist. If a person of color calls you racist, it’s probably bc [because] you did something racist whether you can recognize it or not. Now back to your regular scheduled programming.” 

She later tweeted that only white people cannot live in the sun, writing, "Out of the sun. You know they got destroyed by the thing that keeps everything else on this planet alive..."

Schalk is also a vocal advocate of the riots that destroyed statues in Madison. In a series of tweets, she vaguely <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/u-wisconsin-madison-professor-cheers-protesters-tearing-down-statues-honoring-abolitionist-womens-progress/">threatened</a> that the “uprising” would continue if the rioters' demands weren’t met. If there was any ambiguity to her beliefs, she then tweeted that people don’t have anything else to do “but disrupt the f*** out of this city” and that the city of Madison should defund the police.

Gloria J. Browne-Marshall

<a href="http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/faculty/gloria-browne-marshall">Gloria J. Browne-Marshall</a> is an Associate Professor of Constitutional Law at John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY). In a 2013 essay, Browne-Marshall blamed the failed implementation of Obamacare on..”southern white radicals” such as Tea Party members. She wrote, “In January, President Barack Obama began his second term. However, southern White radicals vowed to stop implementation of the Obama-care law leading one to wonder if Tea Party members would oppose affordable healthcare if it came from a nonBlack [sic] President.”

<a href="https://www.jjay.cuny.edu/cot/staff">Dr. Charles Strozier</a> is a Professor for the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Dr. Strozier argues law-abiding citizens become Taliban terrorist extremists due to climate change. Strozier is a proponent of the idea that the number-one national security threat is climate change, a view espoused by Bernie Sanders among others. He asks, along with his research partner Kelly Berkel, “If more Americans knew how glacial melt contributes to catastrophic weather in Afghanistan—potentially strengthening the Taliban and imperiling Afghan girls who want to attend school—would we drive more hybrids and use millions fewer plastic bags?”

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

<a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/people/core-faculty/reiland-rabaka" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Reiland Rabaka</a> is a Professor of Africana Studies as well as Critical Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality Studies in the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Ethnic Studies</a> at the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Colorado at Boulder</a>. He also serves as <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/humanities/reiland-rabaka" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of Humanities</a> in the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/artsandsciences/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">College of Arts and Sciences</a>.
Dr. Rabaka identifies publicly as a “democratic socialist” and a scholar of fields such as “black radical politics,” decolonial theory, and critical race theory. His lectures depict the United States as an inherently white-supremacist nation and herald the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as a necessary counter to systematic racism.
In a video sponsored by the university, Dr. Rabaka describes American society as having <a href="https://www.coursera.org/lecture/antiracism-2/dr-reiland-rabaka-interventions-in-racist-terminologies-qp12a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">culminated in the “social, economic, spiritual, and cultural” death of black people</a>. He attributes this to our nation&#8217;s alleged addiction to “black death.”

&nbsp;
He repeated this accusation during a lecture for Florida Gulf Coast University’s <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/ccres/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Critical Race and Ethnic Studies</a>. During the event—hosted by professor and the Center Director, <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/directory/tthornhill">Dr. Ted Thornill</a>—Dr. Rabaka <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsS6RAfiesI&amp;ab_channel=FGCUUniversityMarketingCommunications" target="_blank" rel="noopener">characterizes the nation as a “colonial project” that was built on racial and economic enslavement</a>.
To learn more about Dr. Thornhill, readers can view his <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/tedthornhill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profile on TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist</a>.
Dr. Rabaka addresses BLM at length during the Q&amp;A section, characterizing the movement as a response to the nation’s “deeply entrenched racism.” At one point, a member of the audience asks Dr. Rabaka how he would respond if BLM was characterized as a terrorist organization; Rather than answer the question, he proceeds to deflect and counter that Christopher Columbus should be considered a terrorist for committing a “holocaust” against Native Americans. He denounces both the Founding Fathers and Pilgrims in his tirade, accusing each of participating in “racial terrorism.”

&nbsp;
Continuing, he urges “white administrators” to invest in BLM-themed curriculums and workshops in order to raise consciousness about the movement. Dr. Rabaka <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/asmagazine/2021/03/02/black-lives-matter-course-aims-foster-campus-transformation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personally teaches a BLM-themed course at UC-Boulder</a>.
BLM was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the acquittal of George Zimmerman for his murder. Although purporting to be a civil-rights organization, the movement has been tied to violent confrontations and riots across the country.
According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" 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>
Throughout his lecture, Dr. Rabaka praises Angela Davis and Assata Shakur, whose work he considers instrumental to the BLM movement. Shakur is a former <a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/black-lives-matter-praising-terrorist-assata-shakur/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">member of the Black Liberation Army and convicted cop killer</a>. She currently resides in Cuba as a guest of the communist government; authorities have offered 2 million dollars for her capture.
Angela Davis is a former vice-presidential candidate for the Communist Party and early member of the Black Panther Party. Davis is notoriously known for <a href="https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/hollywoods-undying-love-communist-angela-davis-arnold-ahlert/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">her role in the Marin County Civic Center Attack, which left 4 dead</a>.
To learn more about Angela Davis, users can view her <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angeladavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profile on TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist</a>.
Another individual Dr. Rabaka praises in his lecture is scholar W.E.B Du Bois. A prominent author at the turn of the 20th century, Du Bois was a life-long adherent to communism, going <a href="https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/biographies/1953/03/16.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">so far as to eulogize Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin after his death in 1953</a>.
In a separate lecture at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Reiland+Rabaka+" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Rabaka lauds Du Bois specifically for his contributions to socialism</a>. At one point, the professor displays pictures of Du Bois meeting with Nikita Khrushchev and Mao Zedong, hailing both as proof of Du Bois international standing.
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-3" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabka-Du-Bois-and-Mao-.mp4?_=3" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabka-Du-Bois-and-Mao-.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabka-Du-Bois-and-Mao-.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Mao-Zedong">Mao</a>—who chaired the Chinese Communist Party from 1935 until his death in 1976—is widely considered one of the deadliest heads of state in history–<a href="https://www.heritage.org/asia/commentary/the-legacy-mao-zedong-mass-murder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an estimated 65 million Chinese perished from his regime</a>. Mao&#8217;s deadliest campaign—referred to as the “Great Leap Forward”—<a href="https://www.hudson.org/research/7342-mao-s-great-leap-forward-and-the-power-of-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">caused an estimated 40 million to die from starvation and overwork in labor camps</a>.

Dr. <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/people/core-faculty/jennifer-ho">Jennifer Ho</a> is a Professor of Asian American Studies and Director of the Center for Humanities &amp; the Arts at the University of Colorado-Boulder. According to her university <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/people/core-faculty/jennifer-ho">biography</a>, Professor Ho’s research interests include cultural studies, intersectionality, critical race studies, anti-racist theory, and critical mixed race studies.

Critical Theory, or Critical Race Theory, is an intellectual branch of Marxism that alleges American society and all of its founding institutions are infected with white supremacy. Furthermore, proponents of Critical Race Theory believe that people should take proactive steps to dismantle these institutions in the name of equity, which is also referred to as being “anti-racist.” Some Critical Race Theorists, such as Nikole Hannah-Jones, also <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/">claim</a> that America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England.

In an <a href="https://theconversation.com/white-supremacy-is-the-root-of-all-race-related-violence-in-the-us-157566">article</a> for The Conversation, titled, “White Supremacy is the Root of all race-related violence in the US,” Professor Ho alleges that all hate crimes committed in the United States are the result of white supremacy. The article is her response to the March 16th, 2021 <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/3-dead-shooting-georgia-massage-parlor-suspect-loose-n1261262">mass shooting</a> of massage parlors in Atlanta, George, that killed eight people, six of them being Asian-Americans.

Professor Ho attributes not just the March 2021 Atlanta shootings to white supremacy, but she actually attributes all hate crimes to white supremacy, regardless of whether or not they were committed by a white person. In the same <a href="https://theconversation.com/white-supremacy-is-the-root-of-all-race-related-violence-in-the-us-157566">article</a>, Professor Ho lists a series of anti-Asian hate crimes perpetrated by black men before stating that white supremacy is the cause for all of them.

Professor Ho further <a href="https://theconversation.com/white-supremacy-is-the-root-of-all-race-related-violence-in-the-us-157566">describes</a> white supremacy as an ideology “ingrained” into American institutions and the driving force behind the dehumanizing of Asian-Americans as well Black Americans.

The University of Colorado-Boulder features Professor Ho’s work on the College of Arts and Science’s website, in a <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/asmagazine/2020/04/08/anti-asian-racism-and-covid-19">web page</a> titled, “Anti-Asian Racism and Covid-19”. In addition to claiming that “millions” of unarmed black men have been killed by police, Professor Ho also alleges that it is also racist to state that COVID-19 originated in China.

Professor Ho also co-<a href="https://www.coursera.org/learn/antiracism-1#instructors">teaches</a> a class on anti-racism, titled, “Anti-Racism l”. According to the description of the course, participants will learn the following from Professor Ho:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">How to critically discuss “Whiteness.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Recognize that all white people possess white privilege.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">How the history of racism in the United States has created racial hierarchies that still exist.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The true foundations of the United States are that of “settler colonialism."</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">How white supremacy benefits white people.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Why the phrases, “All Lives Matter” and “Blue Lives Matter” are racist.</li>
</ul>

In a separate lecture at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Reiland+Rabaka+" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Rabaka lauds Du Bois specifically for his contributions to socialism</a>. At one point, the professor displays pictures of Du Bois meeting with Nikita Khrushchev and Mao Zedong, hailing both as proof of Du Bois international standing.

<a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Mao-Zedong">Mao</a>—who chaired the Chinese Communist Party from 1935 until his death in 1976—is widely considered one of the deadliest heads of state in history–<a href="https://www.heritage.org/asia/commentary/the-legacy-mao-zedong-mass-murder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an estimated 65 million Chinese perished from his regime</a>. Mao's deadliest campaign—referred to as the “Great Leap Forward”—<a href="https://www.hudson.org/research/7342-mao-s-great-leap-forward-and-the-power-of-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">caused an estimated 40 million to die from starvation and overwork in labor camps</a>.

<a href="http://education.gsu.edu/profile/stephanie-behm-cross/">Professor Stephanie Behm Cross</a>, Georgia State University, published an academic journal article lamenting the “insidiousness of silence and whiteness” on college campuses. In her article, she states that “Remaining silent may itself be the luxury of white privilege and may reinforce oppression." She goes on to say, “This is particularly true when working as a White faculty member, operating with high levels of White fragility, within a system of higher education cloaked in Whiteness.”

During a district-wide summit, Mrs. Watkins threatened to fire teachers who refuse to adopt “antiracist” teaching methods.

The term “antiracist” is a phrase frequently used by Critical Race Theorists. Critical Theory, or Critical Race Theory, is an <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/">intellectual branch of Marxism that alleges American society and all of its founding institutions are infected with and perpetuate white supremacy</a>. Furthermore, proponents of Critical Race Theory believe that people should take proactive steps to dismantle these institutions in the name of equity, which is also referred to as being “anti-racist.” Some Critical Race Theorists, such as Nikole Hannah-Jones,<a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/"> claim</a> that America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave arrived in North America, rather than 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from Britain.
In a Zoom meeting captured by Parents Defending Education (PDE), Mrs. Watkins <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_PIlGgJSXI&amp;t=2s&amp;ab_channel=ParentsDefendingEducation">warned that other teachers</a> present on the call will become obsolete in their respective jobs if they do not become antiracist educators.
“I’m going to something that is not nice and not sweet, but it’s true. If you’re not evolving into an antiracist educator, you’re making yourself obsolete in this field of profession. Our district is only getting browner and browner with our children. Obviously, you can’t change your melanin, alright, but you can change your mind so that you can actually function in a district that is full of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) children.”
Mrs. Watkins suggests that teachers who do not become antiracists must be fired for causing “trauma” to their students.
“So if you’re being resistant, I understand that, but eventually you’re going to have to come to the light. Because if you’re going to come with those old views of colonialism, it&#8217;s going to lead to being fired, because you’re going to be doing damage to our children—trauma.”
Mrs. Watkins even compares teachers who refuse to adopt her prescribed tactics to sexual predators.
“So, as we fire the teachers who sexually abuse our children, we will be firing the teachers who do racist things to our children and traumatize them. And, while our district might not be completely on there, OEA (Oregon Educators Association) is working on it, alright? NEA (National Education Association) It’s just a matter of time, You either evolve or dissolve.”
Mrs. Watkins made these remarks at the Beaverton School District’s Equity ABAR Summit. ABAR stands for “anti-bias, anti-racism.” In the slides acquired by PDE, summit organizers seek to train Beaverton teachers to “<a href="https://defendinged.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Beavertonpresentation.pdf">unearth issues of racism, decentering whiteness in the classroom, decolonizing academic curriculum, exploring intersectionalities, and disrupting deficit thinking narratives</a>.” Sessions include “Going Beneath Your Whiteness,” “Ableism 101,” “Demystifying Black Lives Matter at School,” and, “How to Support DACAmented &amp; Undocumented Students.”

The Beaverton School District serves a diverse population of students. More than half of our students identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color. Our goal as educators is to make sure that every child, staff member, and community member in our district feels welcomed, supported, and encouraged. As part of that commitment, we're engaged in ongoing and critically important equity work which includes providing professional development to our staff.”

<a href="https://history.uchicago.edu/directory/bruce-cumings">Dr. Bruce Cumings</a> is a Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Chicago. Dr. Cumings placed most of the blame of North Korea’s problems on the United States, while also whitewashing problems in Korea.  For example, Cumings denies the existence of a massive famine in North Korea in the 1990s. Cumings blames the United States for North Korea’s problems, not Communism.

In 2018, Dabashi received criticism for a now-deleted <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=10484">Facebook post</a> in which he accused the Women’s March of being “deeply infiltrated” by “Zionists”, who want to hijack the organization to benefit Israel.

<a href="https://journalism.columbia.edu/faculty/dale-maharidge">Dale Maharidge</a> is a Journalism Professor at Columbia University who ironically does not take well to criticism. After finding out he was under investigation on Project Veritas' "To Catch A Journalist" he reacted with a series of explicit and sophomoric rants on social media.

<a href="http://socialwork.columbia.edu/faculty/adjunct/kathy-boudin/">Dr. Kathy Boudin</a> teaches social work classes at Columbia University, despite having a lengthy criminal record. Boudin, a convicted murderer and a member of Bill Ayers' domestic terrorism group the Weather Underground, had no problem finding a job teaching at Columbia. According to The Daily Beast "In 1984, Boudin, a member of the Weather Underground, a violent, oafish association of upper-class “revolutionaries,” pled guilty to second-degree murder in association with the infamous 1981 Brinks armored car robbery in Nyack, New York. Babbling in the language of anti-racism and anti-imperialism, Boudin assisted in ending the life of three people, including Waverly Brown, the first black police officer on the Nyack police force, and left nine children fatherless. She was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. In 2003, Boudin was released; by 2008 she had landed a coveted teaching position at an Ivy League university."

<a href="http://www.law.columbia.edu/faculty/kayum-ahmed">Professor Kayum Ahmed</a>, Columbia University Law School, filed a “discrimination and harassment complaint” against the College Republicans after they invited Tommy Robinson to speak on campus, arguing that the invitation itself was an “act of violence” against him.

<a href="https://history.columbia.edu/faculty/khalidi-rashid/">Dr. Rashid Khalidi</a>, a Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University, laced criticism of Trump's foreign policy with Anti-Semitism. Discussing Trump's position on Israel, Khalidi said "They have a vision whereby there is no such thing as the Palestinians. They have a vision whereby international law doesn’t exist. They have a vision whereby the United States can unilaterally cancel a decision of the United Nations. And unfortunately, these people infest the Trump transition team, these people are going to infest our government as of January 20th. And they are hand in glove with a similar group of people in the Israeli government and in Israeli political life who think that whatever they think can be imposed on reality."

<a href="https://directory.columbia.edu/people/uni?code=jbc2167">James Comey</a>–the former FBI director best known for directing the Russia investigation against President Trump– is now a lecturer at Columbia University <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/12/02/ex-fbi-director-james-comey-to-teach-at-columbia-law-school/">for the Spring 2021 semester</a>. Comey’s course is titled “Lawyers and Leaders.”  The <a href="https://reuben-mark.law.columbia.edu/content/reuben-mark-initiative-announces-spring-2021-leaders-residence">university’s website</a> writes that Comey’s experiences as a federal prosecutor and FBI director “represents a broadening of the Mark Initiative’s focus to include leadership of major public institutions, complementing existing offerings relating to corporations and law firms.”

In 2016 under Comey’s leadership, the FBI opened an investigation to determine whether the Trump campaign had colluded with the Russian government to defeat his opposing  Presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton. It is important to note that Special Counsel Robert Muller <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/no-collusion-attorney-general-william-barr-emily-zanotti">later determined that there was no evidence against President Trump.</a>

Much of the underlying information that formed the basis of the investigation was provided by a former-British spy, Christopher Steele– known as the “Steele Dossier.” <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/09/steeles-dossier-source-was-a-suspected-russian-spy/">Steele relied on a series of rumors from a sole source that was later determined to be a suspected Russian spy</a>. Members of Comey’s own <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/442944-fbis-steele-story-falls-apart-false-intel-and-media-contacts-were-flagged">FBI flagged the allegations in the dossier as false and were</a> ignored. This information was eventually used to obtain surveillance warrants for individuals involved with the Trump campaign. Despite being fired by the FBI for misconduct, <a href="https://thehill.com/hilltv/rising/400810-opinion-how-a-senior-justice-official-helped-dems-on-trump-russia-case">Steele was still used as a source–with Bruce Ohr serving as his conduit to ferry information to the Bureau</a>.

Once Trump assumed office, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/05/11/why-did-obama-tell-the-fbi-to-hide-its-activities-from-the-trump-administration/">Comey withheld evidence from the Trump Administration</a> about his investigation. The FBI had briefed President Trump’s campaign regarding Russian interference into the election, but failed to disclose that members of the campaign were the subject of the investigation itself.

Comey played a pivotal role in the perjury trap that resulted in the firing and prosecution of General Michael Flynn. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates testified that <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/08/05/sally-yates-comey-went-rogue-in-launching-perjury-trap-on-flynn/">Comey “went rogue” in his pursuit to prosecute Flynn</a>. Sources claim that the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-official-on-mueller-team-says-flynn-prosecution-was-used-to-get-trump-says-collusion-probe-was-not-there">FBI zealously pursued the investigation of Flynn in order to get him to flip and inform on any potential crimes committed by Trump.</a>

An Inspector General’s Report later <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/02/latest-inspector-general-report-slams-comeys-fbi-for-massive-failures-to-document-fisa-claims/">excoriated Comey for the abuses that were committed under his leadership</a>. When questioned in a congressional hearing, Comey claimed that he<a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/30/comey-its-not-my-job-to-make-sure-fisa-applications-are-accurate/"> bore no responsibility to ensure whether or not the information in the warrants were accurate</a> and could <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/01/supercut-james-comey-doesnt-recall-anything-about-anything/">remember little else about the investigation that he oversaw</a>.

Comey was also cited by the Department of Justice for <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-trump-russia-comey/doj-declines-to-prosecute-comey-despite-finding-that-he-leaked-info-idUSKCN1VJ1UO">improperly leaking sensitive information to the press</a>.

Dr. Crenshaw is best recognized as a founding scholar of critical race theory and intersectionality. She has continued to make significant contributions to each field throughout her career. Both concepts have been widely adopted by the radical left as the basis for their activism and movements.

Dr. Crenshaw <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/1229039?read-now=1&amp;refreqid=excelsior%3Ad80f43d375e3f40179924f768317a237&amp;seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first defined intersectionality in a landmark paper published for the Stanford Law Review, titled, “Mapping the Margins.</a>” In it, she praises identity politics as necessary to the lived experiences of American minorities.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1601 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-21T154303.317-e1632264218191-1024x378.png" alt="" width="580" height="214" />

However, Dr. Crenshaw then comments that identity politics does not go nearly far enough, countering that intersectionality is needed to successfully combat what she alleges is the systemic oppression minorities face in America.

Intersectionality is used by activists and academics to depict racial and sexual oppression as interconnected amongst various minority groups. For example in “Mapping the Margins,” Dr. Crenshaw claims that a black woman would suffer from both systemic racism and sexism in America. She further characterizes the theory as the link between <a href="https://newdiscourses.com/2021/03/forging-woke-one-ring-kimberle-crenshaws-mapping-margins/">contemporary politics and postmodernism</a>. Academic James Lindsay describes <a href="https://newdiscourses.com/2021/03/forging-woke-one-ring-kimberle-crenshaws-mapping-margins/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">intersectionality as the “birthplace of wokeness.”</a>

Much of intersectionality’s academic framework was used by Dr. Crenshaw to develop concepts of critical race theory. She drew additional inspiration from <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/nov/12/kimberle-crenshaw-the-woman-who-revolutionised-feminism-and-landed-at-the-heart-of-the-culture-wars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">critical legal studies, which, like critical race theory, posits that no American law can truly be neutral or impartial.</a>

Ben Shapiro defines critical race theory—also referred to as critical theory—in an article for Breitbart <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as an intellectual branch of Marxism that alleges American society and all of its founding institutions are infected with white supremacy</a>. Furthermore, proponents of critical race theory believe that people should take proactive steps to dismantle these institutions in the name of equity, which is also referred to as being “anti-racist.”

Dr. Crenshaw herself further defined the concept in an appearance on MSNBC in July of 2021, She characterized her theory as a method to understand how racial inequality is produced—or acts as a “conduit”—from laws, institutions, and historical oppression, all of which are referenced interchangeably with white supremacy.

&nbsp;

One such institution that Dr. Crenshaw targets are police departments and policing as a whole. In a <a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/sandylocks/status/1306271685625049089?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweet from September 2020</a>, she demanded that all police departments be defunded, a move deemed necessary for the full dismantlement of “white nationalism.”

The call to <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DefundThePolice?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#DefundThePolice</a> should be a mandate to dismantle the hyper-militaristic, racist functions of the police as the coercive power of white nationalism.

&nbsp;

Crenshaw’s work and activism have been instrumental to school districts adopting critical race theory into their curriculums. One district in Illinois allegedly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawsuit-illinois-school-district-forced-students-on-privilege-walks-compared-whiteness-to-the-devil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">segregated students by race during a “privilege walk</a>” and compared “whiteness” to the devil during class lessons. Another school district in Buffalo, New York taught students that<a href="https://www.city-journal.org/buffalo-public-schools-critical-race-theory-curriculum" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> America is, “built on racism,” and all Americans, “have an implicit racial bias.</a>”

Dr. Crensaw’s work has spawned other prominent critical race theorists like Dr. Nikole Hannah-Jones, author of the 1619 Project. She has described <a href="https://news.columbia.edu/news/what-does-intersectionality-mean-2021-kimberle-crenshaws-podcast-must-listen-way-learn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Jones work as “phenomenal” to the rethinking of the American founding</a>.

Dr. Jones <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims</a> that America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England. <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/03/14/new-york-times-corrects-the-1619-project-but-its-still-a-giant-lie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Though now retracted for numerous false claims</a>, the documents have now been <a href="https://dc.medill.northwestern.edu/blog/2020/07/21/the-1619-project-curriculum-taught-in-over-4500-schools-frederick-county-public-schools-has-the-option/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added to the curriculum of 4,500 schools across the country</a>.

Despite evidence to the contrary, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/7-lying-media-outlets-claiming-crt-isnt-being-taught-in-public-schools" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a number of pundits on the left claim that critical race theory isn’t being taught in schools</a>. However, Dr. Crenshaw herself has written that the theory may serve as a <a href="https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1417313212207271936?s=27" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“catch-all” for race-based scholarship</a>.

Dr. Kendall Thomas is a <a href="https://www.law.columbia.edu/faculty/kendall-thomas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nash Professor of Law</a> at Columbia University. His areas of study include Family, Gender, &amp; Sexuality and Social Justice &amp; Human Rights. Dr. Thomas is the co-founder and director of the Center for the Study of Law and Culture at Columbia University, and he is co-editor of <a href="https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/books/101/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Critical Race Theory: The Key Writings That Founded the Movement</a> with fellow Professor Watchlist professors Dr. <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/crenshaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kimberlé Crenshaw</a> and Dr. <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/garypellar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gary Pellar</a>. In his free time, he is a professional jazz vocalist.

When Dr. Thomas isn’t teaching in the law classroom or singing jazz music, he can be found vehemently supporting critical race theory. <a href="https://www.hawaiipublicradio.org/local-news/2021-06-01/critical-race-theory-for-k-12-graders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a radio clip for Hawaii Public Radio</a>, Dr. Thomas discussed his beliefs about critical race theory in the classroom. In his opinion, critical race theory should be taught to children, including K-12 classrooms. He claims that the American Revolution of 1776 isn’t comprehensive of our country’s history, and we need to be teaching about the slavery that occured in 1619 to really understand this country.

During <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/what-critical-race-theory-why-do-some-want-ban-1587389" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a conversation with a journalist at Newsweek</a>, Dr. Thomas discusses critical race theory and why some are against it. Dr. Thomas alleges that conservatives and others are “over-the-top attacking” critical race theory despite having no idea what CRT actually is. He asserts that conservatives want to shut down critical race theory so they won’t “lose the national debate… about institutional racism.”

He argues that if you care about the future of our democratic republic, you need to support the teachings and learning that CRT stands for. Dr. Thomas states that critical race theory is a body of writing and method of research about the meaning of race both today and historically.

Dr. Thomas often takes to Twitter to discuss critical race theory, politics, and his disdain for conservatives. <a href="https://twitter.com/Ill_Legitimacy/status/1326013415178039302" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In one tweet</a>, he accused conservatives of weaponizing the government in attempts to undo the 2020 presidential election results.

<a href="https://gca.columbia.edu/people/flores-forbes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Flores Forbes</a> is an Associate Vice President for Community Affairs at Columbia University. Mr. Flores is a convicted murderer who served as Huey Newton’s enforcer in the Black Panther Party.

The organization was<a href="https://www.history.com/topics/civil-rights-movement/black-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> formed by black nationalists, Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, in 1966 as the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense.</a> The group’s early activities included monitoring police and social programs for urban communities.

<a href="http://web.stanford.edu/~ccarson/articles/am_left.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The party was explicitly organized along</a> Marxist-Leninist lines. Members were <a href="https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/reflections-panthers-john-perazzo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">required to read communist texts such as Mao Zedong’s, Red Book and Che Guevara</a>. Bobby Seale was known to <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/whitewashing-the-black-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fondly quote Soviet Dictator, Joseph Stalin</a>.

Despite their alleged philanthropy, the Panthers used their community programs–dubbed survival programs—as a front for criminal activity. David Horowitz—who worked for the Panthers at the time—observed the Panthers' <a href="https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/pbs-propaganda-machine-black-panther-killers-frontpagemagcom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">embezzling and illegal trafficking operations based out of the Oakland Community Center.</a>

The Panthers were feared for their mob-like enforcement and brutality. Members were <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/whitewashing-the-black-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">known to pour boiling water over suspected </a>police informants and fire-bomb the cars of journalists. Co-founder, Huey Newton, was convicted—which was later overturned by an appellate court—and spent time in prison for the murder of police officer, John Frey. He is further <a href="https://www.salon.com/1999/12/13/betty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspected to have taken part in multiple murders</a> committed by the Panthers.

Known as Newton’s “internal enforcer”, Mr. Forbes carried out at least one execution on behalf of his boss. <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2020/12/radical-son-frontpagemagcom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Flores was ordered to perform a hit against Crystal Gray</a>, who had witnessed Newton murder a prostitute—Kathleen Smith—and was set to testify in his trial.

However, Mr. Forbes and the other assassins mistakenly arrived at the address of a fellow Panther, who returned fire and injured Mr. Forbes before he was killed. Following a nationwide manhunt, Mr. Forbes turned himself in, where he was convicted and spent 5 years in prison for second-degree murder.

Mr. Forbes is also suspected in the murder of Betty Van Patter. As a book-maker for the Panthers, Patter <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160110093526/http://www.insidebayarea.com/ci_5016589" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was a first-hand witness to the organization’s criminal activity and threatened to expose the Panthers to the press</a>. After missing for five weeks, her body was recovered in the San Francisco Bay.

Although Mr. Forbes is believed by Patter’s daughter and the <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2020/12/radical-son-frontpagemagcom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI to be responsible for her killing</a>, no arrests were made. Furthermore, the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180330211353/http://fbidocs.com/betty-van-patter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI destroyed all files relating to Patter in 2009</a>, so the apparent murder will remain unsolved. The Black Panther party dissolved in 1984 and Huey Newton was murdered in 1989. Mr. Forbes went on to author a book about his time in the Panthers—titled, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Will-You-Die-Me-Panther/dp/0743482689" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Will You Die with Me?</a>— and <a href="https://news.columbia.edu/news/cu-people-flores-forbes-urban-planner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has worked at Columbia since 2007</a>.

<a href="https://www.tc.columbia.edu/faculty/kf2119/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Karen Froud</a> is an Associate Professor of Neuroscience and Education at the Teachers College of Columbia University in New York City.

In a letter to colleagues, Dr. Froud urged them to boycott Israel and its universities, accusing both of contributing to apartheid-like conditions in the Palestinian territories.

Her remarks were spurred by the comments of another colleague, Gerry Leisman, who asked fellow scientists to continue their reviews for his research. Dr. Talisman is a neuroscientist at the University of Haifa in Israel.

“Hi, 

I am the guest editor of a special issue of the Journal Brain Sciences and we are producing a special issue of the journal entitled, “The Brain Goes to School, details for which can be found at the following link:

https://www.mdpi.com/.../brai.../special_issues/brain_school

We are recruiting both reviews and results of experimental studies that related to human learning, its difficulties, remediation strategies, models, cognitive science, cognitive neuropsychology all essentially attempting to translate 150 years of cognitive neuroscience into classroom Applications [sic].” 

&nbsp;

In her reply, Dr. Froud urges her colleagues to refuse the request <a href="https://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2022/03/columbia-bds-professor-little-unclear.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on the grounds that the University of Haifa is an “apartheid institution,” and adhere to the demands of the “Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement</a>.”

“Dear colleagues - 

I urge you to consider this request in light of the Boycotts, Divestments, and Sanctions Movement for freedom and justice in Palestine. Like many/most academic institutions in Israel, Haifa University is an apartheid institution. 

<a href="https://bdsmovement.net/tags/haifa-university" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://bdsmovement.net/tags/haifa-university</a>

I recognize that many of you work within this institution and hope you are also doing your part for academic freedom.

Warm wishes for a peaceful and just world - which after all is where educational neuroscience as a field points us.

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" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dismantlement of the state of Israel</a>.

<a href="http://philosophy.emory.edu/home/people/faculty/yancy-george.html">Dr. George Yancy</a> is a Professor of Philosophy at Emory University.  A Red Alert Politics article states "Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a letter to white Americans calling them  racist. Make no mistake, if you are white, you are racist. As The Blaze pointed out, black professor George Yancy called on white America to examine the 'racist poison that is inside of you.' And Yancy means all white America."

Dr. <a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carol Anderson</a> is the <a href="http://aas.emory.edu/home/people/bios/anderson-carol.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charles Howard Candler Professor and Chair of African American Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.emory.edu/home/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emory University</a> in Atlanta, Georgia. She has ascribed the passage of the Second Amendment to white supremacy, and accused conservatives of trying to make America a “whites only” nation.

Dr. Anderson is the author of, “<a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/the-second" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America</a>.” The book alleges the true purpose of the Second Amendment is the denial of rights to African Americans.

In a subsequent interview with CNN, Dr. Anderson claims the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/30/us/second-amendment-guns-anti-black-anderson-blake/index.html?utm_term=link&amp;utm_source=twCNN&amp;utm_content=2021-06-01T03%3A42%3A56&amp;utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">intention of the right to keep and bear arms was ultimately to empower militias to keep black Americans, “under the boot” of white supremacy</a>. At one point, she claims the second amendment is about “anti-blackness”, or antithetical to the well-being and rights of African-Americans:

<img class="size-large wp-image-1574 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-14T175033.334-e1631667053699-1024x356.png" alt="" width="580" height="202" />

She further states that America’s gun culture is fueled by a “fear” of black people and that “anti-blackness” courses through our nation's history.

Dr. Anderson first rose to national prominence in 2014 for her Washington Post article attributing the Ferguson Riots to “white rage.”

The unrest stemmed from an altercation involving Michael Brown and police officer Darren Wilson. Brown had been pulled over by Wilson over suspicion of his involvement in a strong-arm robbery in a nearby convenience store. During the stop, witnesses testified that <a href="https://nypost.com/2014/08/19/witnesses-say-ferguson-teen-attacked-cop-before-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brown attempted to grab Officer Wilson’s gun</a> before turning and running away. When ordered to halt, Brown turned and charged Officer Wilson, who then fatally shot Brown in self-defense.

Although Wilson was later exonerated for his actions,<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hands-up-dont-shoot-makes-wapos-list-of-outlandish-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Black Lives Matter activists promoted the false narrative that Brown was shot with his hands up while attempting to surrender.</a> After a grand jury declined to indict Officer Wilson, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2850383/A-town-ravaged-anger-pictures-extent-damage-buildings-Ferguson.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rioters and looters burned stores and restaurants across the city of Ferguson</a>, Missouri.

In the piece, Dr. Anderson <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ferguson-wasnt-black-rage-against-copsit-was-white-rage-against-progress/2014/08/29/3055e3f4-2d75-11e4-bb9b-997ae96fad33_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">insinuates that riots are effective as the only method that residents of Ferguson can utilize to make their voices be heard.</a> Stating the “real rage” is represented in the attempts by conservative movements and police to disenfranchise African-Americans. She dismisses the destruction as not a product of “black rage”, but rather the “latest outbreak of “white rage.”

The article was later expanded into the book, “<a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/white-rage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Rage, The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide</a>.” When Emory University featured the book on their website, Dr. Anderson further defined white rage as, “<a href="https://news.emory.edu/stories/2016/05/upress_white_rage_anderson/campus.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">policymakers and a series of courts systematically undercut the advancement of African Americans</a>.” Dr. Anderson would go on to author an article for Time Magazine accusing “patriots” who are afflicted with "white rage" 0f <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170421064019/https://time.com/4573307/donald-trump-white-rage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trying to make America a “whites only” county</a> and attempting to revive a “Jim Crow nation.”

Dr. Anderson regularly lectures at colleges and universities across the country. In 2021, it was discovered that Dr. Anderson’s work had been <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/gop-army-vet-congressman-seeks-answers-critical-race-theory-west-point" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in a lecture by the Army Cyber Institute at West Point University</a>.

George Ciccariello

<a href="https://www.wm.edu/sites/dhp/faculty/ciccariello-maher-george.php">Dr. George Ciccariello-Maher</a> is a Visiting Scholar of Decolonizing Humanities and Modern Languages and Literatures at the College of William and Mary. He previously taught in the Department of History and Politics at Drexel University.
From the College of William and Mary&#8217;s website, his work at the Decolonizing Humanities Project is <a href="https://www.wm.edu/sites/dhp/decoloniality/index.php">described</a> as exploring, “how colonization, modernity, capitalism, and, most recently, neoliberalism has displaced an array of modes of living, thinking and being.  Decoloniality reveals “the dark side of modernity” and how it is built “on the backs” of “others.”
Ciccarello first came to notoriety for his racially inflammatory statements on twitter. On Christmas of 2016, he <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/Drexel-officials-Professor-George-Ciccariello-Mahers-White-Genocide-tweet-was-utterly-reprehensible.html">tweeted</a> out,
“All I want for Christmas is White Genocide,”
and,
“To clarify: when the whites were massacred during the Haitian Revolution, that was a  good thing indeed.”
He also tweeted out,
“Some guy gave up his first-class seat for a uniformed soldier. People are thanking him. I’m trying not to vomit or yell about Mosul.”
When Ciccariello was confronted by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndkvgmGIQHQ">Tucker Carlson</a> over his tweets, he only proceeded to double-down. In the following exchange, he defended the academic veracity of his tweets by claiming, “performance art is scholarship.”
Ciccariello doesn’t shy away from utilizing violence to accomplish his radical beliefs. In an op-ed for <a href="https://www.salon.com/2015/05/04/riots_work_wolf_blitzer_and_the_washington_post_completely_missed_the_real_lesson_from_baltimore/">Salon</a>, he praised the riots that had engulfed Baltimore in 2015 in an article titled “Riots Work.” He wrote, “without the threat of insurgency in the streets, no charges would ever have been brought in the murder of Freddie Gray.” Obviously not a proponent of police, Ciccariello openly <a href="https://www.salon.com/2015/04/24/we_must_disband_the_police_body_cameras_arent_enough_only_radical_change_will_stop_cops_who_kill/">advocates</a> for the abolishment of police forces, describing them as, “originally slavecatchers.”
When not calling for the disbandment of our law enforcement, Ciccariello is an ardent defender of the socialist regime in Venezuela. He regularly <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2013/04/12/thatcher-is-dead-long-live-chavez/">praises</a> Hugo Chavez and has bizarrely <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhYz1owM-uA&amp;feature=youtu.be">claimed</a> that Venezuela does not have corrupt elections.
Ciccariello doesn’t shy away from violent groups as well. In order to fight white-nationalism, Ciccarello called on Americans to embrace the radical group ANTIFA in an interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTv_hqjrmi8&amp;feature=youtu.be">Democracy Now</a> following the El Paso mass shooting. Although committed by a stated white nationalist, in the same interview Ciccariello placed the blame on Donald Trump for the deaths, claiming that his rhetoric on immigrants inspired the shooter’s rampage.  Ciccariello made similar accusations in a prior <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTv_hqjrmi8&amp;feature=youtu.be">interview</a> about the Texas Church Massacre, alluding that “whiteness” and Trump’s stoking of white victimhood was to blame for the murders.

Dr. Monger further uses his classroom to intimidate and bully students if they fail to adhere to Cornell’s COVID-19 policies. In a letter from October of 2021, the professor asks for help in identifying a “hook-nosed” student. He threatens to flunk him, as well as another student who allegedly did not wear their mask in class.
In July of 2021, the university <a href="https://covid.cornell.edu/updates/20210730-indoor-masks.cfm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mandated masks to be worn indoors at all times, regardless of vaccination status</a>. Cornell additionally <a href="https://covid.cornell.edu/vaccines/vaccination-cornell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">requires students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to attend classes</a>.

“I wanted to ask for your help in identifying two oceans students who were photographed with their masks off during the oceans class last Friday.”
Dr. Monger proceeds to detail the physical appearance of both students, stating that one had “a fairly prominent hooked nose.” He threatens to fail both students once they are identified by himself or another student.
“If/when I identify the students, I will be failing both of them for the semester as promised I would in class last Wednesday.”

Cornell University

<a href="http://english.cornell.edu/kenneth-mcclane">Kenneth McClane</a>, a Professor Emeritus at Cornell University, believes that Republican faculty lowers the intellectual environment on campus, stating “--faculty at Cornell find the anti-scientific rhetoric of many in the Republican Party to be troublesome,” and “Many of us here are scientists -- we believe in global warming".

<a href="http://sts.cornell.edu/people/sbp65.cfm">Dr. Sara Pritchard</a> , a professor at Cornell University, has said that student evaluations of female professors are “pervasively slanted by gender bias” and thus prevents them from being more successful. Pritchard then goes on to say that because of blatant gender bias, female professors should be given bonus points in order to level the playing field.

<a href="https://history.cornell.edu/russell-rickford">Dr. Russell Rickford</a> is an associate professor of history at Cornell University. According to his university biography, Dr. Rickford “specializes in African-American political culture after World War II, the Black Radical Tradition, and transnational social movements.” In his various writings and teaching materials, Dr. Rickford frequently condemns the nation of Israel and alleges that the United States was founded on slavery and white supremacy.

In a book titled <a href="https://books.google.co.il/books?id=SEAeCwAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA276&amp;lpg=PA276&amp;dq=Russell+Rickford+israel&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=vIzqNlUKjC&amp;sig=KRxT1-8CHqm0mHE_Fr8k_PI9bFQ&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiqg_3_t-DTAhUDIVAKHUUCDtMQ6AEIRDAG#v=onepage&amp;q=Russell%20Rickford%20israel&amp;f=false">Beyond Boundaries: The Manning Marable Reader</a>, Dr. Rickford alleges that Israel bears ultimate responsibility for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. On page 276, Dr. Rickford states: “The US media and opinion makers repeatedly went out of their way to twist the facts and distort the political realities of the Middle East by insisting that Osama bin Laden’s group’s murderous assaults had nothing to do with Israel’s policies towards the Palestinians. Nobody else in the world, with the possible exception of the Israeli’s, really believes that.”

<a href="https://books.google.co.il/books?id=SEAeCwAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA276&amp;lpg=PA276&amp;dq=Russell+Rickford+israel&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=vIzqNlUKjC&amp;sig=KRxT1-8CHqm0mHE_Fr8k_PI9bFQ&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiqg_3_t-DTAhUDIVAKHUUCDtMQ6AEIRDAG#v=onepage&amp;q=Russell%20Rickford%20israel&amp;f=false"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1403" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Screen-Shot-2021-05-28-at-12.41.11-PM.png" alt="" width="500" height="467" /></a>

In a paper for The New Labor Forum (a labor journal published by the <a href="https://slu.cuny.edu/about/murphy-institute/">Murphy Institute</a> at the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies) titled <a href="https://newlaborforum.cuny.edu/2015/12/28/black-lives-matter-practice-of-mass-struggle/">Black Lives Matter: Toward a Modern Practice of Mass Struggle</a>, Dr. Rickford praises the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as having “reinvigorated confrontation politics.” He describes the tactics of BLM as a commitment to “militancy,” referencing their history of “occupying highways, intersections, sporting events, retail stores, malls, campaign events, police stations, and municipal buildings.”

According to a <a href="https://acleddata.com/2020/09/03/demonstrations-political-violence-in-america-new-data-for-summer-2020/">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to  95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/">The Federalist</a> found that “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.">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

Dr. Rickford believes the motivations behind BLM riots are “police aggression and racist violence” instigated by law enforcement.  Dr. Rickford claims that white supremacy serves as the framework of our criminal justice system—causing law enforcement agencies to view BLM protestors as “enemy combatants.”

Throughout his career, Dr. Rickford has delivered racially charged speeches and lectures. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU8G_neFEOY&amp;ab_channel=CornellReview">During a September 2014 protest at Cornell University, Dr. Rickford can be heard telling students</a> that each of them benefits from white supremacy.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1405 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-05-28T120545.909-e1622238260261-1024x604.png" alt="" width="580" height="342" />

&nbsp;

Also in a 2014 lecture captured by The Cornell Review, Dr. Rickford urged his students to find white people that are “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsTQQQmYc88&amp;ab_channel=CornellReview">ready to commit race suicide</a>” on behalf of BLM and other racial justice movements.

&nbsp;

In a video captured at a BLM protest in 2016, Dr. Rickford tells a crowd of students and activists that a segment of white America is “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63J7oUdTQOE&amp;ab_channel=JoelBlizzard">overtly, irredeemably racist.</a>”

&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/07/12/lights-of-liberty-vigal-remarks/">In an article for CounterPunch</a>, Dr. Rickford states bluntly that America was founded on genocide and slavery. He made a similar claim in a 2019 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl2deMaznt8&amp;t=240s&amp;ab_channel=TheColumbusDispatchTheColumbusDispatchVerified">speech</a> at the Vigil to End Human Concentration Camps in Ithaca, NY.

<a href="https://as.cornell.edu/news/jelani-cobb-address-questions-policing-and-racial-justice-krieger-lecture">Cornell University frequently welcomes Dr. Rickford</a> to campus to discuss policing<a href="https://as.cornell.edu/news/racism-america-webinar-examine-protest-movements">, racism, and white supremacy</a>.

Dr. Monger further uses his classroom to intimidate and bully students if they fail to adhere to Cornell’s COVID-19 policies. In a letter from October of 2021, the professor asks for help in identifying a “hook-nosed” student. He threatens to flunk him, as well as another student who allegedly did not wear their mask in class.

In July of 2021, the university <a href="https://covid.cornell.edu/updates/20210730-indoor-masks.cfm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mandated masks to be worn indoors at all times, regardless of vaccination status</a>. Cornell additionally <a href="https://covid.cornell.edu/vaccines/vaccination-cornell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">requires students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to attend classes</a>.

In the course-wide email—obtained by the Twitter handle “<a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1455022824620376066?s=21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Libs of Tik-Tok</a>”—Dr. Monger asks for help identifying two students who did not wear masks during the previous class period:

“I wanted to ask for your help in identifying two oceans students who were photographed with their masks off during the oceans class last Friday.”

Dr. Monger proceeds to detail the physical appearance of both students, stating that one had “a fairly prominent hooked nose.” He threatens to fail both students once they are identified by himself or another student.

“If/when I identify the students, I will be failing both of them for the semester as promised I would in class last Wednesday.”

When the email received significant media attention, Cornell University released a statement defending Dr. Monger.

China is the greatest existential threat that the United States currently faces. Through military, governmental, and financial fronts, the authoritarian Chinese government seeks to supplant the United States as the world’s sole superpower. None of their tactics may be more perfidious than the placement of Confucius Institutes on campuses across the country. Currently, 64 Institutes operate at American universities, high schools, and even elementary schools, serving as focal points of China’s espionage against our country.

Beth Younger <a href="https://www.drake.edu/english/faculty/bethyounger/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">is an Associate Professor</a> at Drake University in the English Department. Her areas of interest include popular culture, young adult literature, feminist theory, and women&#8217;s studies. She has written many publications relating to these topics, including “<a href="https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9780203802137-12/lesbian-lens-girls-femininity-sexuality-reading-spectrum-beth-younger" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Through a Lesbian Lens: Girls, Femininity, and Sexuality on a Reading Spectrum</a>,” “<a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/4316970" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pleasure, Pain, and the Power of Being Thin: Female Sexuality in Young Adult Literature</a>,” and “<a href="https://eric.ed.gov/?q=abortion&amp;pg=7&amp;id=ED517069" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Learning Curves: Body Image and Female Sexuality in Young Adult Literature</a>.”
In her free time, she chooses to write on a different subject: conservatives. In January 2021, Dr. Younger was the center of controversy when her Twitter was discovered to be full of anti-conservative rhetoric. She discussed her hate of all “republican assholes” who “need to suffer.” She also tweeted about how she thinks “men are trash.” She even tweeted hateful and inappropriate words to Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA founder and CEO. Her Twitter has since been deleted, but some of these tweets are included below:

After the tweets emerged in the media, Professor Younger <a href="https://timesdelphic.com/2021/02/statement-from-professor-beth-younger/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made a public apology</a>.

While I do regret the harm this has caused, I think the students involved are misguided.”

Daniel Martinez HoSang is <a href="https://politicalscience.yale.edu/people/daniel-hosang" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an Associate Professor</a> of Ethnicity, Race &amp; Migration and American Studies at Yale University. He has written many publications and focuses his work on racism and race in politics. He holds strong opinions about conservatives and has both written and lectured several times on the subject.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1633" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-05-at-2.54.00-PM.png" alt="" width="528" height="166" />

Dr. HoSang recently wrote a book with <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/josephlowndes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Joseph Lowndes</a>, who is also on the Professor Watchlist. The book, titled “<a href="https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/producers-parasites-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Producers, Parasites, Patriots: Race and the New Right-Wing Politics of Precarity</a>,” discusses white supremacy in conservative politics. In the book, Dr. HoSang accuses conservatives of being racist and participating in “multiracial white supremacy.”

According to Dr. HoSang, white conservatives work to maintain their economic power while also highlighting and praising minority conservatives in an effort to portray the concept that they aren’t racist.

https://twitter.com/yale/status/1292782749611429888?lang=en

Dr. HoSang has also recently become involved in K-12 learning. He was one of the founders of an organization in Connecticut called the <a href="https://antiracistteaching.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racist Teaching and Learning Collective</a>, or ARTLC. The organization works with students and teachers alike to push anti-racism, and in turn, Critical Race Theory, in K-12 schools across Connecticut. In an article for the CT Mirror, Dr. HoSang alleges that “if we want to address racism in society at large, we have to address it in policing, and housing, and health care — but we also need to address it in the 3rd grade music classroom, in the 7th grade social studies classroom.”

https://twitter.com/AAPolicyForum/status/1415803068617220096

Dr. HoSang also leads workshops for K-12 teachers that perpetuate the ideals that racism runs deep in education and teaching across all subjects. He helps teachers create curriculum centered on anti-racism and Critical Race Theory.  In the summers of 2020 and 2021, Dr. HoSang was a core faculty member of the AAPF’s Critical Race Theory Summer School lecture series for teachers and scholars. The program’s purpose is to counter conservative and republican efforts to keep Critical Race Theory out of the classroom.

Jason McCormick is an <a href="https://www.unl.edu/english/docs/cv-mccormick.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">adjunct professor</a> at Southeast Community College &#8211; Milford and a lecturer at the University of Nebraska &#8211; Lincoln. His areas of interest include issues of identity, college composition, and developmental composition course structures. He is currently completing his PhD at the University of Nebraska &#8211; Lincoln studying rhetoric and composition. He also enjoys writing fiction and has written contributor pieces for publications such as the Huffington Post.<img loading="lazy" class="size-large wp-image-1688 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-26-at-1.14.57-PM.png" alt="" width="502" height="176" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-26-at-1.14.57-PM.png 502w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-26-at-1.14.57-PM-300x105.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px" />
In 2016, McCormick <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/im-a-liberal-professor-and-my-conservative-students_b_5842031de4b0b93e10f8e201" target="_blank" rel="noopener">penned an article for the Huffington Post</a> titled, “I’m A Liberal Professor And My Conservative Students Terrify Me.” In the article, McCormick outlines how his conservative students terrify him as an adjunct professor because “when they fail, it’s always personal.” He writes that he isn’t worried about his liberal students because they can have open discussions and work through triggers or disagreements together.
<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-1687 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-26-at-1.16.19-PM.png" alt="" width="438" height="193" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-26-at-1.16.19-PM.png 438w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-26-at-1.16.19-PM-300x132.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 438px) 100vw, 438px" />
His conservative students, however, are a different story. He accuses them of throwing out fake arguments with no validity or proof and being hostile towards anyone who disagrees. He claims he was “terrified not to” give their ideas equal space in the classroom. He alleges that conservative students put their personal egos above respect for others in the classroom or factual arguments.
https://twitter.com/JasonBMcCormick/status/1156521524226080770
&nbsp;
Besides writing opinion pieces on how “terrifying” conservative students are, he also often takes to Twitter to discuss his disdain for conservatives and his approval of critical race theory. In a tweet from July 2021, McCormick <a href="https://twitter.com/JasonBMcCormick/status/1413471823761592326" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commented on a tweet </a>regarding the University of Nebraska voting to oppose Critical Race Theory. He commented that the regents should “apologize to every student trying to get a job” because the opposition of CRT “makes us all look bad.”

He is currently completing his PhD at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln studying rhetoric and composition. He also enjoys writing fiction and has written contributor pieces for publications such as the Huffington Post.<img class="size-large wp-image-1688 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-26-at-1.14.57-PM.png" alt="" width="502" height="176" />

In 2016, McCormick <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/im-a-liberal-professor-and-my-conservative-students_b_5842031de4b0b93e10f8e201" target="_blank" rel="noopener">penned an article for the Huffington Post</a> titled, “I’m A Liberal Professor And My Conservative Students Terrify Me.” In the article, McCormick outlines how his conservative students terrify him as an adjunct professor because “when they fail, it’s always personal.” He writes that he isn’t worried about his liberal students because they can have open discussions and work through triggers or disagreements together.

<img class="size-full wp-image-1687 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-26-at-1.16.19-PM.png" alt="" width="438" height="193" />

His conservative students, however, are a different story. He accuses them of throwing out fake arguments with no validity or proof and being hostile towards anyone who disagrees. He claims he was “terrified not to” give their ideas equal space in the classroom. He alleges that conservative students put their personal egos above respect for others in the classroom or factual arguments.

&nbsp;

Besides writing opinion pieces on how “terrifying” conservative students are, he also often takes to Twitter to discuss his disdain for conservatives and his approval of critical race theory. In a tweet from July 2021, McCormick <a href="https://twitter.com/JasonBMcCormick/status/1413471823761592326" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commented on a tweet </a>regarding the University of Nebraska voting to oppose Critical Race Theory. He commented that the regents should “apologize to every student trying to get a job” because the opposition of CRT “makes us all look bad.”

During the rioting that followed George Floyd’s death, Professor Dr. Jackson described police officers on her personal <a href="https://twitter.com/JennMJacksonPhD" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> account as &#8220;employed in an institution meant to eradicate Blackness.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
This right here.
The &#8220;goodness&#8221; of cops is unimportant. They are employed in an institution meant to eradicate Blackness. The philosophical principles of being a police officer are racist and anti-Black.

According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" 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>
Dr. Jackson further defended the rioter’s vandalism and looting, describing it as a justified response to white supremacy.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Here&#8217;s why the language of &#8220;riot&#8221; vs &#8220;protest&#8221; vs &#8220;uprising&#8221; matters:
When Black Americans and other marginalized groups RESPOND to white supremacist violence, they are often LABELED rioters to undermine the true reasons why they are JUSTIFIABLY demanding ACCOUNTABILITY.

Update: 
On September 10th, 2021—just before the twentieth anniversary of the terrorist attacks—Dr. Jackson tweeted that she was “disturbed” by how many “white pundits and correspondents” still talk about 9/11.

In the same thread—that was first made private by Dr. Jackson but is still available as of September 2021—she declared the 9/11 attacks in New York City as an “attack on heteropatriarchal capitalistic systems.”

Dr. <a href="https://www.maxwell.syr.edu/psc/Jackson,_Jennifer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jenn M. Jackson</a> is an Assistant Professor of Political Science and a Senior Research Associate at the <a href="https://www.maxwell.syr.edu/campbell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campbell Public Affairs Institute</a> at <a href="https://www.syracuse.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Syracuse University.</a> According to her university biography, Dr. Jackson’s research and teachings are focused on “black politics, gender and sexuality, political behavior, public opinion, and mixed methods.”

During the rioting that followed George Floyd’s death, Professor Dr. Jackson described police officers on her personal <a href="https://twitter.com/JennMJacksonPhD" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> account as "employed in an institution meant to eradicate Blackness.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
This right here.
The "goodness" of cops is unimportant. They are employed in an institution meant to eradicate Blackness. The philosophical principles of being a police officer are racist and anti-Black. They are required to do terrible things. <a href="https://t.co/ccp7GUfJVb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/ccp7GUfJVb</a>

According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" 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>

Dr. Jackson further defended the rioter’s vandalism and looting, describing it as a justified response to white supremacy.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Here's why the language of "riot" vs "protest" vs "uprising" matters:
When Black Americans and other marginalized groups RESPOND to white supremacist violence, they are often LABELED rioters to undermine the true reasons why they are JUSTIFIABLY demanding ACCOUNTABILITY.

&nbsp;
Update: 
On September 10th, 2021—just before the twentieth anniversary of the terrorist attacks—Dr. Jackson tweeted that she was “disturbed” by how many “white pundits and correspondents” still talk about 9/11.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
It's twenty years since 9/11 and I'm still really disturbed by how many white pundits and correspondents talk about it.

&nbsp;

In the same thread—that was first made private by Dr. Jackson but is still available as of September 2021—she declared the 9/11 attacks in New York City as an “attack on heteropatriarchal capitalistic systems.”

Beginning in 2015, Erickson <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/08/11/college-offers-cultural-dogs-and-american-whiteness-classes/">taught</a> a course titled “American Whiteness.” According to the Daily Caller, the original syllabus stated that “whiteness” is, “very bad idea,”

The syllabus states that, by the end of the course, participants will undergo an “intellectual journey” to understanding how “whiteness” “functions in a racist nation.” Class discussions are also designed to assist students in developing an antiracist identity.
In 2021, Erickson <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uNxl5lCRNU&amp;ab_channel=GrinnellCollege">hosted</a> a video lecture, and posted it on Grinnell College’s youtube page, titled “White Innocence.” In the video, she attributes the Capitol Hill Riots to America’s history of white supremacy. Erickson urged her viewers to use critical race theory in order to interpret the events at Capitol Hill, or what she termed the “white nationalist siege”.
Despite this, she <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uNxl5lCRNU&amp;ab_channel=GrinnellCollege">stated</a> in the lecture that an automatic presumption of innocence exists for those involved in the riot because of the color of their skin, or what Erickson terms “white innocence.” Describing the rioters as an “army” of white males expressing their resentment, Erickson claimed that this is part of a long history of white supremacists taking up arms when their rights are threatened. She then cited proof of this by alleging the police displayed a violent response to the Black Lives Matter movement over the summer, compared to an allegedly mild response to the mostly white rioters.
