William Penn

<a href="http://www.english.msu.edu/people/faculty/william-penn/">William Penn</a> teaches in the Creative Writing Program at Michigan State University. Penn was recorded complaining in one of his creative writing classes about “dead white Republicans” who “raped his country.” As a student videotaped his rant, Penn antagonized students and asked, “You look like you’re frowning. Are you frowning?”.

<a href="https://education.msu.edu/te/PhD/Whos-Who/Doctoral-Students/">Alba Lamar </a>is a graduate student and instructor at Michigan State University. In a class prior to Thanksgiving 2016, Lamar taught students how to argue with conservative relatives about issues such as illegal immigration, refugees, and the Dakota Access Pipeline. Lamar also mocked Christians for not supporting taking in Middle Eastern refugees and said conservatives often come to their views through fear.

Dr. Dorinda Carter Andrews is a <a href="https://education.msu.edu/people/carter-andrews-dorinda/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chairperson and Professor</a> at Michigan State University in the College of Education. Her research interests include racial justice and educational equity. Dr. Andrews has published articles for many media outlets and journals and has given two <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3N23MXsow8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TED Talks</a> in relation to critical race theory and racial gaps in education.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1720" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.42.13-AM.png" alt="" width="482" height="186" />

In an <a href="https://www.hourdetroit.com/education-schools/a-critical-race-theory-expert-on-how-something-benign-became-toxic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article for Hour Detroit</a>, Dr. Andrews accuses conservatives of “gaslighting” by being against critical race theory. Dr. Andrews alleges conservatives “cry CRT” any time an educator teaches something from America’s history that puts them in a “bad light,” even if it’s true. She goes on to insinuate that conservatives don’t want educators teaching black history at all.

Dr. Andrews has lectured all over the nation about critical race theory. In the video below from June 2021, she identifies as a critical race theorist:

In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOrgf3wTUbo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TED Talk given in 2014</a>, Dr. Andrews discussed racial inequity in the education system. She argues that the education system was founded in white supremacy,  making it nearly impossible for students of color to get ahead. She claims that students of color and poor students are already behind the curve before they even step foot into the classroom, and it’s unfair to expect the same levels of success for them compared to white students.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1723" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.44.57-AM.png" alt="" width="440" height="183" />

When Dr. Andrews isn’t teaching, lecturing, or writing publications, she often takes to Twitter to discuss CRT, racial equity, and anti-white rhetoric. Some examples are below:

https://twitter.com/DrDorindaCA/status/694285220351217664

https://twitter.com/DrDorindaCA/status/1062013677040132099

https://twitter.com/DrDorindaCA/status/1367512182443954178

Dr. Andrews is a critical race theorist who pushes anti-white rhetoric in the classroom. In her opinion, racism is so deeply embedded into our education system that students of color have no chance of getting ahead if critical race theory isn’t taught in the classroom. In her eyes, conservatives are only against critical race theory because they fear it paints them in a negative light.

<a href="https://cola.unh.edu/person/david-finkelhor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. David Finkelhor</a> is a Professor of sociology at the University of New Hampshire. <a href="https://www.unh.edu/ccrc/person/david-finkelhor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to his university profile</a>, he is the Director of the Crimes against Children Research Center and co-Director of the Family Research Laboratory. Dr. Finkelhor is known for his research into child sexual abuse and related topics.
Dr. Finkelhor lectures on a wide variety of subjects such as “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpangX4UaO4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sexual Abuse Prevention</a>,” “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsoYh5WF2Yc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Developmental Victimology</a>,” and more. He also participates in a variety of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-fViw7Uuxs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">child sexual abuse conferences</a>.
On March 23, 2022 Dr. Finkelhor participated in a webinar discussing the “<a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1515916310814859264" target="_blank" rel="noopener">elements of voluntary participation</a>” by juveniles involved in sex crimes; saying that when trying to prevent sex crimes against children, it is key to realize that in some cases, it is the children themselves that are “initiating sexual activities with adults.” Dr. Finkelhor also suggested that he believes it is not “effective” to assume that a pedophilic relationship escalates because of a “predatory or criminally inclined adult.”

Recently, there have been articles questioning Dr. Finkelhor&#8217;s motives on the subject. <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/professor-says-minors-can-be-enthusiastically-involved-in-initiating-sexual-activities-with-adults" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Post Millennial</a> reports his statements, “There&#8217;s not good enough research on issues related to maturity with regard to sexual behavior that allows a clear demarcation here.”  He noted that there can be elements of voluntary participation in statutory sex crimes wherein juveniles engage in sex with adults who are at least five years older than they are. Statutory rape, he said, is “much narrower than statutory sex crimes in general.”
Dr. Finkelhor’s rating on Rate My Professor is a <a href="https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=142310" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2.1 out of 5</a> with a number of reviews mentioning his teaching methods as “lecture heavy” and so on.

University of New Hampshire

<a href="https://paulcollege.unh.edu/person/robert-woodward">Robert Woodward</a> is a Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of New Hampshire. Professor Woodward, according to an online schedule, usually teaches Health Economics on Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, he spent that time driving students to the polls in a car decorated with Democratic campaign posters - paid for by the Ready for Hillary Super PAC.

<a href="https://cola.unh.edu/person/robin-hackett">Dr. Robin Hackett</a> is a Professor of English and also teaches in the Women Studies program at the University of New Hampshire. She called for an investigation and expulsion of two people (possibly students) who jokingly wore a Harambe and Richard Nixon costume outside an anti-Trump event.

<a href="https://physics.unh.edu/people/faculty/chanda-prescod-weinstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein</a> is an Assistant Professor in the <a href="https://physics.unh.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Physics and Astronomy</a> and a Core Faculty Member of the <a href="https://cola.unh.edu/womens-gender-studies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Women’s and Gender Studies</a> Department at the <a href="https://cola.unh.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of New Hampshire</a>.

As a member of the organization, <a href="https://www.particlesforjustice.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Particles for Justice</a>, Dr. Prescod-Weinstein was a primary organizer for the “Strike for Black Lives” in June of 2020.

Particles for Justice is a far-left organization composed of scientists and mathematicians who are <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/physicists-condemn-sexism-through-particles-for-justice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dedicated to ending what they allege as “rampant racism and sexism in STEM fields</a>.” The group was first organized in 2018 to protest a lecture by physicist Alessandro Strumia, in which he affirmed that biological differences exist between men and women.

In the Summer of 2020, Dr. Prescod-Weinstein—who identifies as a <a href="https://magazine.scienceforthepeople.org/web-extras/particles-for-justice-racial-justice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“black queer femme physicist”</a> and an “<a href="https://www.cprescodweinstein.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">activist for equality in science</a>”—and other scientists organized the strike among academics in solidarity with the <a href="https://m4bl.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Movement for Black Lives</a> (MBL), also referred to as the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.

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>

According to an official letter for the group—co-authored by Dr. Prescod-Weinstein—the organizers allege black students feel unsafe on <a href="https://www.particlesforjustice.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“predominantly white campuses” and professors face “anti-blackness” in academia</a>. The organizers called for <a href="https://www.particlesforjustice.org/strike-details" target="_blank" rel="noopener">academics to cease their normal university duties and spend the day protesting or conducting “antiracist“ actions on behalf of BLM</a>. As of June 10th, 2020, the website listed 5,874 administrators and professors as having walked off their jobs during the strike.

In her own personal statement authored for the strike, Dr. Prescod-Weinstein describes her efforts organizing the strike and the ongoing national protests as <a href="https://www.particlesforjustice.org/note" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an attempt to “save her life" and “the lives of all black people.</a>” She further decries having to conform culturally and professionally to “whiteness,” and urges white people to take up anti-racist work in order to make black people feel more comfortable.

Dr. Prescod-Weinstein’s activism and views are further displayed on her <a href="https://twitter.com/IBJIYONGI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal Twitter account</a>. She consistently tweets condemnations of America and conservatives as racist, support for critical race theory, and accusations that Israel is committing genocide against Arabs:

In a separate paper for The University of Chicago—​​titled, “Making Black Women Scientists under White Empiricism: The Racialization of Epistemology in Physics”— Dr. Prescod-Weinstein <a href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/704991#_i5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decries the concept of objectivity under “European ideas of science”</a> dominating her field through “colonial force.” She defines “white empiricism” as serving “white supremacist traditions in science” at the expense of black scientists.

The Professor Watchlist team reached out to Dr. Prescod-Weinstein for comment but did not receive a reply by the time of publication.

<a href="https://cola.unh.edu/person/david-finkelhor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. David Finkelhor</a> is a Professor of sociology at the University of New Hampshire. <a href="https://www.unh.edu/ccrc/person/david-finkelhor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to his university profile</a>, he is the Director of the Crimes against Children Research Center and co-Director of the Family Research Laboratory. Dr. Finkelhor is known for his research into child sexual abuse and related topics.

Dr. Finkelhor lectures on a wide variety of subjects such as “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpangX4UaO4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sexual Abuse Prevention</a>,” “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsoYh5WF2Yc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Developmental Victimology</a>,” and more. He also participates in a variety of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-fViw7Uuxs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">child sexual abuse conferences</a>.

On March 23, 2022 Dr. Finkelhor participated in a webinar discussing the “<a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1515916310814859264" target="_blank" rel="noopener">elements of voluntary participation</a>” by juveniles involved in sex crimes; saying that when trying to prevent sex crimes against children, it is key to realize that in some cases, it is the children themselves that are “initiating sexual activities with adults.” Dr. Finkelhor also suggested that he believes it is not “effective” to assume that a pedophilic relationship escalates because of a “predatory or criminally inclined adult.”

On June 25, 2020 in a webinar called “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpangX4UaO4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Let's Talk About Prevention</a>,” Finkelhor stated that “Another thing about diversity that is very important to recognize is that in spite of the stereotype, most of the adult offenders are not “pedophiles”... Many are opportunistic and situational and acting on relationships that develop, or opportunities that are made available to them.”  Dr. Finkelhor refers to “offenders” as ambivalent and stresses the importance of differentiating the labels between a pedophile and an offender.

Recently, there have been articles questioning Dr. Finkelhor's motives on the subject. <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/professor-says-minors-can-be-enthusiastically-involved-in-initiating-sexual-activities-with-adults" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Post Millennial</a> reports his statements, “There's not good enough research on issues related to maturity with regard to sexual behavior that allows a clear demarcation here.”  He noted that there can be elements of voluntary participation in statutory sex crimes wherein juveniles engage in sex with adults who are at least five years older than they are. Statutory rape, he said, is “much narrower than statutory sex crimes in general.”

Dr. Finkelhor’s rating on Rate My Professor is a <a href="https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=142310" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2.1 out of 5</a> with a number of reviews mentioning his teaching methods as “lecture heavy” and so on.

In the same leaked recordings obtained exclusively by Turning Point USA, Ms. Bardenhagen explains to her students that her efforts to teach Critical Race Theory is an attempt to “stretch” their brains in uncomfortable ways.

Angela Putman

<a href="https://www.brandywine.psu.edu/person/angela-putman">Ms. Angela Putman</a> is an Assistant Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences at Pennsylvania State University at Brandywine. According to her university biography, Professor Putman describes herself as a “critical intercultural scholar.” Her biography states that she is interested in “whiteness as an ideology” and “institutional/systemic racism”, and encourages her students to promote and practice “social justice.”
Ms. Putman completed her dissertation at the University of New Mexico, titled, <a href="https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1046&amp;context=cj_etds">“Interrupting the Silence: A Critical Discourse Analysis of a Pilot Seminar on Racism, Intersectionality, and White Privilege.”</a> The paper is based on a seminar that she created in order to teach college students about dismantling white privilege in their own lives.
Ms. Putman’s stated goal was to help her students “strengthen their understanding of systemic racism and white privilege and also provide them with useful strategies for confronting and disrupting white privilege in their lives, relationships, groups, and organizations.”
In the dissertation, Ms. Putman outlines the various ideas and beliefs that she states are products of “white privilege,” including the ideas of America as a meritocracy, color-blindness, and individualism.

At the conclusion of her dissertation, Ms. Putman laments that many of the seminar participants still reverted back to these “white privilege” positions–or what Putman labels, “individualistic definitions of racism” that uphold “whiteness.” Putman states that it’s ultimately up to her as a white scholar with “privilege and power” to incorporate the dismantling of white privilege into her teaching.

<a href="https://www.whiteprivdoc.com/whiteprivdoc-blog">In a blog post titled “White America, It’s Time For Us To Get Involved”</a>, Ms. Putman lists examples and actions that she believes white people should adopt to dismantle systemic racism.
In one example, Ms. Putman suggests that parents talk to their children, “no matter how young they are,” about race and social justice. In another example, she urges white people to show up to protests prepared to “force the police to arrest them.

<a href="https://www.brandywine.psu.edu/person/angela-putman">Ms. Angela Putman</a> is an Assistant Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences at Pennsylvania State University at Brandywine. According to her university biography, Professor Putman describes herself as a “critical intercultural scholar.” Her biography states that she is interested in “whiteness as an ideology” and “institutional/systemic racism”, and encourages her students to promote and practice “social justice.”

Ms. Putman completed her dissertation at the University of New Mexico, titled, <a href="https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1046&amp;context=cj_etds">“Interrupting the Silence: A Critical Discourse Analysis of a Pilot Seminar on Racism, Intersectionality, and White Privilege.”</a> The paper is based on a seminar that she created in order to teach college students about dismantling white privilege in their own lives.

Ms. Putman’s stated goal was to help her students “strengthen their understanding of systemic racism and white privilege and also provide them with useful strategies for confronting and disrupting white privilege in their lives, relationships, groups, and organizations.”

In the dissertation, Ms. Putman outlines the various ideas and beliefs that she states are products of “white privilege,” including the ideas of America as a meritocracy, color-blindness, and individualism.

At the conclusion of her dissertation, Ms. Putman laments that many of the seminar participants still reverted back to these “white privilege” positions–or what Putman labels, “individualistic definitions of racism” that uphold “whiteness.” Putman states that it’s ultimately up to her as a white scholar with “privilege and power” to incorporate the dismantling of white privilege into her teaching.

Ms. Putman also writes for her personal blog, titled White Priv Doc. <a href="https://www.whiteprivdoc.com/about-me">On one page of the site, Professor Putman urges</a> “other whites” to utilize the resources she provides to join in the struggle to dismantle systemic racism.

&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.whiteprivdoc.com/whiteprivdoc-blog">In a blog post titled “White America, It’s Time For Us To Get Involved”</a>, Ms. Putman lists examples and actions that she believes white people should adopt to dismantle systemic racism.

In one example, Ms. Putman suggests that parents talk to their children, “no matter how young they are,” about race and social justice. In another example, she urges white people to show up to protests prepared to “force the police to arrest them.

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

Dr. William (Bill) Gibson is a <a href="https://www.vwu.edu/marlin-directory.php?person=0000206" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chair and Professor of Political Science</a> at Virginia Wesleyan University. His areas of interest include environmental policy, nature resources management, and intergovernmental relations. The courses Dr. Gibson teaches include Conflict Management, Urban Politics, and Public Administration. In 2013, Dr. Gibson co-authored a book titled, “<a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-case-for-grassroots-collaboration-john-charles-morris/1115393897" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Case for Grassroots Collaboration: Social Capital and Ecosystem Restoration at the Local Level</a>.”
In February of 2021, Dr. Gibson found himself in hot water amongst conservatives when an <a href="https://www.yaf.org/news/vwu-professor-attacks-conservatives-in-internal-email-i-am-sickened-examine-your-conscience/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inflammatory email leaked to Young America’s Foundation</a>. In the email, Dr. Gibson resigned from his role as a chapter advisor for a conservative student group on campus. The email showed his true hatred of conservatives. It can be viewed in its entirety below.

In the email, Dr. Gibson accuses conservatives of being compulsive liars and engaging in tribalism behaviors. He writes, “I am sickened. I have had it; I’m over it. You will have to find another faculty advisor for your group.” Dr. Gibson goes on to call conservatives a disgrace and illegitimate. He closes out the email by stating, “each of you should take a break and examine your conscience.”
According to Young America’s Foundation, the university did not comment as to whether or not they discussed the email with Dr. Gibson. As of Fall 2021, it does not appear that Dr. Gibson faced any consequences for his accusatory email to the conservative club.  It also looks like he is still teaching at the university.

The movement’s co-founder—Omar Barghouti has admitted that once <a href="https://www.israellycool.com/2020/06/02/watch-bds-co-founder-omar-barghouti-admits-their-goal-is-destruction-of-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">these planks are implemented, they will destroy Israel</a>.
In a piece for the site, CounterPunch, Dr. Alam pens a <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/07/29/the-academic-boycott-of-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">full-throated defense of BDS</a> as a necessary tactic to confront Israel. While characterizing the Jewish state as not a “normal country,” he falsely accuses Israel of constructing an “apartheid state” to commit genocide against Arabs.
Dr. Alam uses his accusation as justification for <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/07/29/the-academic-boycott-of-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">then-ongoing waves of suicide bombers in Israel</a>, writing, “dispossession is implemented by force-unless this project is aided by pathogens; and, it follows, that resistance to the colonizer must be violent.”
An “intifada”—Arabic for “uprising”—refers to a series of Palestinian insurrections within Israel. From 2000-2005, the Second Intifada—known as the <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/background-and-overview-of-al-aqsa-intifada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Al-Aqsa Intifada</a>,”—claimed over 1,100 lives. During this period, terrorist groups like Hamas deployed <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/comprehensive-listing-of-terrorism-victims-in-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suicide bombers and gunmen to target civilians in crowded areas to maximize casualties</a>.
In a separate piece, Dr. Alam again praises suicide bombers, <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/04/03/thomas-friedman-s-lies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">writing that they seek to become martyrs in order to bring “honor” to their nation:</a>
“The Oxford English dictionary defines a suicide as “one who dies by his own hand.” This definition is clearly inadequate. In the absence of a motive, we cannot distinguish between (i) a person who takes his life because he wants to die and (ii) a person who takes his life because this will save her soul-or her honor, her family, her friends, her community, or her country. The first suggests suicide; the latter is ordinarily regarded as a martyr. Judge for yourself then whether the Palestinians are suicides or martyrs.” 
This is not a solitary instance of which Dr. Alam has sought to justify Islamic terrorism. In an article from 2004, he <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2004/12/29/seeking-parallels/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">compared the 9/11 hijackers to America’s Founding Fathers</a>. 
“The colonists had a dream worth pursuing. They were prepared to die for this dream ­and to kill. They did: and they won…On September 11, 2001, nineteen Arab hijackers too demonstrated their willingness to die — and to kill — for what they believed was their dream. They died — so they thought — because they wanted their people to live, free and in dignity.” 
The prior year, Dr. Alam wrote that <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2003/01/02/why-9-11-and-why-now/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the attacks themselves were not in any way unique, and in fact, paled in comparison to the atrocities committed by the United States</a>.
“[The 9/11]  attacks pales into insignificance when compared to the worst terrorist acts perpetrated by states, not excluding United States, over the past five-hundred years.”
In further articles, Dr. Alam depicts Jews in explicit, antisemitic terms. He accuses Jews of using their religion to justify genocide, manipulating the media, possessing dual loyalty, citing the Holocaust for sympathy, and directing America to launch foreign wars on Israel’s behalf:
&#8211; One article for CounterPunch decries <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2003/04/05/israelization-of-the-united-states/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Jewish money” swaying elections on behalf of Israel.</a>
&#8211; Another piece <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2009/08/21/zionism-an-quot-abnormal-quot-nationalism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accuses Jews of seeking to “compensate” for the absence of a messiah</a> by launching a colonial, genocidal project in Palestine with the assistance of American Christians.
&#8211; One accuses <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2010/12/07/unvarnished-truths-about-the-us-and-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jewish organizations of policing and directing the media to proliferate “Israeli lies.”</a>
&#8211; Dr. Alam’s book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0230614841/thewisdomfund?pldnSite=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israeli Exceptionalism</a>, accuses <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/zionisms-destabilizing-force-israeli-exceptionalism-reviewed/3569" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jews and Zionists of partnering with the Nazis</a> prior to World War 2.
&#8211; The same book describes <a href="http://www.twf.org/News/Y2010/0623-Review.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">neoconservatives as a “mostly Jewish elite” who shape America’s institutions for Israel’s benefit</a>.
&#8211; Yet another article accuses <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2003/02/19/israel-s-proxy-war/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Jews and Israel of directing the United States to invade Iraq</a> to distract the world from their alleged genocide of the Palestinians.
&#8211; Dr. Alam goes so far as to accuse <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/04/18/a-colonizing-project-built-on-lies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jews of weaponizing the Holocaust</a> to elicit sympathy and distract the world from their own human rights abuses.
&#8211; In an op-ed for the Egyptian state-owned newspaper Al-Ahram, Dr. Alam <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070601183749/http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2007/846/op5.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accuses Jews of using their Judaism—or what he mocks as their “chosenness” by God—to excuse racism and ethnically cleanse Palestine</a>.
Rather than hide or justify his views, Dr. Alam seems delighted by accusations of antisemitism. In a leaked lecture, Dr. Alam can be heard advising students to wear allegations of antisemitism “as a badge of honor.”

Northeastern University

Dr. <a href="https://www.northeastern.edu/graduate/bio/denis-sullivan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Denis Sullivan</a> is a Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at <a href="https://www.northeastern.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northeastern University</a> in Boston, Massachusetts. He additionally serves as the co-Director of the <a href="https://cssh.northeastern.edu/internationalcenter/middle-east/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Middle East Center</a>, a branch of <a href="https://cssh.northeastern.edu/internationalcenter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northeastern’s International Center</a>. Dr. Sullivan is known for including anti-Israel elements into his curriculum, and for his defense of the terrorist organization Hamas.

Founded as the offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Gaza Strip, Hamas is an Islamist terrorist organization. The organization’s <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charter explicitly calls for the destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews</a>.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1890" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-30T123137.664-e1638300714181-1024x366.png" alt="" width="500" height="179" />

The group has ruled the Gaza strip since 2005 and explicitly targets Israeli civilians while using its own <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/183750" target="_blank" rel="noopener">citizens as human shields during military operations</a>. <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/05/prelude-to-war-palestinian-terrorists-fire-hundreds-of-rockets-at-israel-from-and-to-civilian-areas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas regularly fires rockets</a> and <a href="https://palwatch.org/page/18217" target="_blank" rel="noopener">directs suicide bombers into crowded areas</a>. The organization is <a href="https://www.fdd.org/in_the_news/2021/05/26/faq-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responsible for the death of thousands of Israelis and at least 25 Americans</a>.

In a lecture dated to 2009, Denis Sullivan can be heard <a href="https://vimeo.com/127604352" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trivializing Hamas atrocities during a lecture about foreign relations with Israel</a>. In the clip, captured by the organization <a href="https://canarymission.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canary Mission</a>, Dr. Sullivan begrudgingly admits that Hamas is a terrorist organization, but proceeds to praise them for having “great healthcare and kindergartens."

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Sullivan-Hamas-does-great-healthcare.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Further in the same lecture, while discussing peace negotiations, Dr. Sullivan claims that it’s irrelevant that Hamas will not recognize the right of Israel to exist.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Sulivan-Hamas-wont-recognize-Israel-.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

According to reports from the group <a href="https://www.peaceandtolerance.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Americans for Peace and Tolerance (APT)</a>, Dr. Sullivan <a href="https://www.peaceandtolerance.org/2014/02/26/northeastern-universitys-islamists/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">regularly assigns extreme anti-Israel materials in his class</a>. One text is, “<a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/233020/the-holocaust-industry-by-norman-g-finkelstein/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Holocaust Industry</a>,” by author and former professor, Norman Finkelstein. The book alleges that Israel uses the Holocaust to shield itself from criticism when committing war crimes on par with that of the Nazis.

“The Holocaust has proven to be an indispensable ideological weapon. Through its deployment, one of the world’s most formidable military powers, with a horrendous human rights record, has cast itself as a “victim” state, and the most successful ethnic group in the US has likewise acquired victim status.” - Norman Finkelstein, The Holocaust Industry

Another assigned text is titled, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ethnic-Cleansing-Palestine-Ilan-Pappe/dp/1851685553" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine</a>'' by IIan Pappe. The book falsely charges Israel with committing mass genocide and ethnic cleansing of the region’s Arabs during the nation’s founding.

Dr. Sullivan has directed numerous university-sponsored trips to introduce students to meet Syrian and Egyptian officials. As APT has documented, his students met with at least one Egyptian minister <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9mmOilcDA4&amp;ab_channel=apeacet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who believes in the antisemitic conspiracy that Jews manipulate and control the world economy</a>.

In addition to his duties in the Middle East Center, his biography lists him as a member of the organization, “Human Rights Watch.” The group has been <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/04/experts-slam-human-rights-watch-for-biased-and-inaccurate-report-accusing-israel-of-apartheid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused by a number of watchdog organizations of publishing slanted and falsified information about Israel</a>. The organization has become so maligned, that its founder, Robert Bernstein, once lambasted his organization for <a href="https://archive.ph/b1E3q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">focusing its efforts solely on Israel while ignoring actual authoritarian regimes</a>.

After immigrating to the United States from Pakistan, Dr. Alam began working for Northeastern in 1988 where he serves as the academic advisor for the group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).

Infamous for sympathy towards Islamic terrorism in his work, Dr. Alam has authored pieces justifying suicide bombers, compared the 9/11 highjackers to America’s founding fathers, and repeated antisemitic libels while supporting the BDS movement.

BDS—which stands for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions—is an international movement with a singular focus on boycotting, divesting, and levying sanctions against the world’s sole Jewish state.

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.

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.
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-38" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Armour-George-Soros-Part-2.mp4?_=38" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Armour-George-Soros-Part-2.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Armour-George-Soros-Part-2.mp4</a></video></div>
&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-0-39" 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?_=39" /><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.

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.

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.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
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.

<a href="https://apps.weber.edu/wsuimages/Communication/Faculty%20Photos/Bios/Wash%20Web%20Bio.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Ryan Wash</a> is the Communication Instructor, Director of Debate, and Director of Forensics at Weber State University.
According to his university profile, Mr. Wash is the only two-time, National Debate Tournament and Cross-Examination Debate Association Champion, both as a player and coach. Mr. Wash additionally facilitates workshops in “social justice, deliberative democracy, and debate” on behalf of the university. During one such retreat during the 2019 Fall semester, Walsh was accused of being “racist” and “anti-white” by a student in attendance, Michael Moreno.
In audio captured by Moreno, Mr. Wash accuses white people of fabricating the existence of space and facilitates a conversation where students discuss forcibly launching all white people into space.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjvmIFrX1xQ&amp;t=1687s&amp;ab_channel=MichaelMoreno" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The recording is interspersed with video commentary from Moreno</a>. The event in question took place during an “<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/university-investigating-black-debate-instructor-who-argued-space-isnt-real-created-by-whites/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">optional, pre-season retreat for students</a>”, according to the university.
According to Moreno, attendees were supposed to be debating the topic, “Should the US government work with Russia and China to reach space?” Instead of coaching students during the exercise, Mr. Wash launched into a racially tinged tirade, alleging that space is not real. He further characterizes concepts like “science and technology” as merely the projection of “white fantasies;” since neither he nor anyone else in the room has been to space, it can’t be real.
“Our argument will be that space is not real. It’s not real. Science, technology, it’s all fake. It’s a projection of white fantasies that has worked to control our interpretation of how the world works….None of us have had the privilege of going to space to verify that there’s these stars and these galaxies and these planets.” 
In the published video, Moreno can then be heard pointing out the absurdity of the argument, citing the existence of black astronauts. This is quickly dismissed, as Mr. Wash alleges that black people collaborate with whiteness, in this case, to lie about the existence of outer space.
Mr. Wash would later claim the purpose of the exercise is for the <a href="https://kutv.com/news/local/weber-state-debate-under-microscope-after-secret-recordings-go-viral" target="_blank" rel="noopener">instructor to adopt purposefully extreme positions to test students’ ability to debate and formulate arguments</a>. The remainder of the audio, however, demonstrates that Mr. Wash aligned with other students against Moreno, rather than challenging their arguments.
Around the 12 minute mark, the exercise escalated as several students began suggesting that all white people be removed from the earth. One student is heard advocating for launching all white people into space in order to create a safer planet for black people. Instead of dissecting the argument as directed, others soon chimed in to ask if doing so would only allow white people to colonize other worlds and enslave other forms of life.
Rather than point out the absurdity of their argument, Mr. Wash states that it&#8217;s more of a matter of practicality of getting white people into space.
Attempting to challenge both arguments, Moreno is rebuffed by other students, who claim he cannot ask questions to black students’ questions as a white man. Mr. Wash would further imply that Moreno’s objections were on par with that of sexual assault.
“So you being like if they’re women debaters and they’re like “this is what space means” and you’re like “no actually space means this way” – this is like a form of linguistic violence. I’m not going to go so far as to say the “R” word in there [implying “rape”], but it’s a form of linguistic assault.” 
Prior to the release of the video, Moreno reported the incident to Mr. Wash’s department supervisors.

<a href="https://apps.weber.edu/wsuimages/Communication/Faculty%20Photos/Bios/Wash%20Web%20Bio.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Ryan Wash</a> is the Communication Instructor, Director of Debate, and Director of Forensics at Weber State University.

According to his university profile, Mr. Wash is the only two-time, National Debate Tournament and Cross-Examination Debate Association Champion, both as a player and coach. Mr. Wash additionally facilitates workshops in “social justice, deliberative democracy, and debate” on behalf of the university. During one such retreat during the 2019 Fall semester, Walsh was accused of being “racist” and “anti-white” by a student in attendance, Michael Moreno.

In audio captured by Moreno, Mr. Wash accuses white people of fabricating the existence of space and facilitates a conversation where students discuss forcibly launching all white people into space.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjvmIFrX1xQ&amp;t=1687s&amp;ab_channel=MichaelMoreno" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The recording is interspersed with video commentary from Moreno</a>. The event in question took place during an “<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/university-investigating-black-debate-instructor-who-argued-space-isnt-real-created-by-whites/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">optional, pre-season retreat for students</a>”, according to the university.

According to Moreno, attendees were supposed to be debating the topic, “Should the US government work with Russia and China to reach space?” Instead of coaching students during the exercise, Mr. Wash launched into a racially tinged tirade, alleging that space is not real. He further characterizes concepts like “science and technology” as merely the projection of “white fantasies;” since neither he nor anyone else in the room has been to space, it can’t be real.

“Our argument will be that space is not real. It’s not real. Science, technology, it’s all fake. It’s a projection of white fantasies that has worked to control our interpretation of how the world works….None of us have had the privilege of going to space to verify that there’s these stars and these galaxies and these planets.” 

In the published video, Moreno can then be heard pointing out the absurdity of the argument, citing the existence of black astronauts. This is quickly dismissed, as Mr. Wash alleges that black people collaborate with whiteness, in this case, to lie about the existence of outer space.

Mr. Wash would later claim the purpose of the exercise is for the <a href="https://kutv.com/news/local/weber-state-debate-under-microscope-after-secret-recordings-go-viral" target="_blank" rel="noopener">instructor to adopt purposefully extreme positions to test students’ ability to debate and formulate arguments</a>. The remainder of the audio, however, demonstrates that Mr. Wash aligned with other students against Moreno, rather than challenging their arguments.

Around the 12 minute mark, the exercise escalated as several students began suggesting that all white people be removed from the earth. One student is heard advocating for launching all white people into space in order to create a safer planet for black people. Instead of dissecting the argument as directed, others soon chimed in to ask if doing so would only allow white people to colonize other worlds and enslave other forms of life.

Rather than point out the absurdity of their argument, Mr. Wash states that it's more of a matter of practicality of getting white people into space.

Attempting to challenge both arguments, Moreno is rebuffed by other students, who claim he cannot ask questions to black students’ questions as a white man. Mr. Wash would further imply that Moreno’s objections were on par with that of sexual assault.

“So you being like if they’re women debaters and they’re like “this is what space means” and you’re like “no actually space means this way” – this is like a form of linguistic violence. I’m not going to go so far as to say the “R” word in there [implying “rape”], but it’s a form of linguistic assault.” 

Prior to the release of the video, Moreno reported the incident to Mr. Wash’s department supervisors. Following scrutiny by the media, the university vowed to look into the incident, but still sided with Mr. Wash,<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20191105161610/https://www.theepochtimes.com/college-debate-professor-science-is-a-projection-of-white-fantasies_3137028.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> stating that his views are protected under academic freedom</a>.

Dr. Dorinda Carter Andrews is a <a href="https://education.msu.edu/people/carter-andrews-dorinda/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chairperson and Professor</a> at Michigan State University in the College of Education. Her research interests include racial justice and educational equity. Dr. Andrews has published articles for many media outlets and journals and has given two <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3N23MXsow8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TED Talks</a> in relation to critical race theory and racial gaps in education.

In an <a href="https://www.hourdetroit.com/education-schools/a-critical-race-theory-expert-on-how-something-benign-became-toxic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article for Hour Detroit</a>, Dr. Andrews accuses conservatives of “gaslighting” by being against critical race theory. Dr. Andrews alleges conservatives “cry CRT” any time an educator teaches something from America’s history that puts them in a “bad light,” even if it’s true. She goes on to insinuate that conservatives don’t want educators teaching black history at all.
<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1721" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.43.29-AM.png" alt="" width="554" height="183" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.43.29-AM.png 554w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.43.29-AM-300x99.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px" />
Dr. Andrews has lectured all over the nation about critical race theory. In the video below from June 2021, she identifies as a critical race theorist:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Dorinda Carter Andrews - &quot;I am a critical race theorist&quot;" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8cIOWFdt-Os?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOrgf3wTUbo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TED Talk given in 2014</a>, Dr. Andrews discussed racial inequity in the education system. She argues that the education system was founded in white supremacy,  making it nearly impossible for students of color to get ahead. She claims that students of color and poor students are already behind the curve before they even step foot into the classroom, and it’s unfair to expect the same levels of success for them compared to white students.
<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1723" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.44.57-AM.png" alt="" width="440" height="183" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.44.57-AM.png 440w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.44.57-AM-300x125.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px" />
When Dr. Andrews isn’t teaching, lecturing, or writing publications, she often takes to Twitter to discuss CRT, racial equity, and anti-white rhetoric. Some examples are below:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

Dr. Andrews is a critical race theorist who pushes anti-white rhetoric in the classroom. In her opinion, racism is so deeply embedded into our education system that students of color have no chance of getting ahead if critical race theory isn’t taught in the classroom. In her eyes, conservatives are only against critical race theory because they fear it paints them in a negative light.

As <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/08/14/duke-university-economist-calls-for-12-trillion-in-slavery-reparations/">Breitbart</a> reports, Darity and his wife, Kirsten Mullen, co-authored a paper for the <a href="https://rooseveltinstitute.org/">Roosevelt Institute</a> in which they advocated for $12 Trillion in reparations for slavery. This amounts to roughly $800,000 to be paid per each African-American household in the country.
In the <a href="https://rooseveltinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/RI_Report_ResurrectingthePromiseof40Acres_202005.pdf">document</a>, titled, “Resurrecting the Promise of 40 acres: The Imperative of Reparations for Black Americans,” Darity describes the federal government as a “culpable party” that should pay reparations to black Americans for the nation’s history of slavery.

Darity <a href="https://rooseveltinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/RI_Report_ResurrectingthePromiseof40Acres_202005.pdf">states</a> that reparations are necessary so that white Americans do not continue to benefit from the profits of enslaved black Americans. In the same report, Darity <a href="https://rooseveltinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/RI_Report_ResurrectingthePromiseof40Acres_202005.pdf">alleges</a> that it is just as necessary for America to pay black Americans reparations as it was for Germany to pay reparations to survivors of the Holocaust.

In the conclusion of “Resurrecting the Promise,” Darity <a href="https://rooseveltinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/RI_Report_ResurrectingthePromiseof40Acres_202005.pdf">describes</a> reparations as the monetary centerpiece of all other forms of reparations and is required to eliminate the wealth gap, which is the “most glaring economic indicator” of racial injustice.

Darity further <a href="https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2020/12/why-studying-inequality-matters-minor-ineuality-studies-samuel-dubois-cook">states</a> in the letter that he hopes that students will “acquire a rigorous and analytical understanding of social inequality” to apply to their careers after they graduate.
The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Darity for comment regarding:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">His paper for the Roosevelt Institute titled, Resurrecting the Promise of 40 Acres, in which Darity calls for $12 trillion in reparations for the descendants of slaves.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Darity’s statement that the wealth gulf is the most glaring indicator of racial injustice.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Darity’s comparison between paying reparations to the descendants of slaves to that of Germany paying reparations to Holocaust victims.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Darity’s statement that inequality is inherent in our institutions and reinforces &#8220;racism, sexism, colorism, and other forms of discrimination.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
Professor Darity responded with the following statement:
“Apart from your various spelling and grammatical errors, basically the first three statements you attribute to me are correct. I don&#8217;t recall being directly quoted using the language in the fourth item. Also, in the second statement to be precise, my position is the &#8220;black-white wealth gulf is the most glaring economic indicator of racial injustice in the United States.&#8221; I consider it a badge of honor to be considered for your McCarthyist Watchlist. Keep watching.” &#8211; Professor William Darity, Jr.

In the <a href="https://rooseveltinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/RI_Report_ResurrectingthePromiseof40Acres_202005.pdf">document</a>, titled, “Resurrecting the Promise of 40 acres: The Imperative of Reparations for Black Americans,” Darity describes the federal government as a “culpable party” that should pay reparations to black Americans for the nation’s history of slavery.

Darity <a href="https://rooseveltinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/RI_Report_ResurrectingthePromiseof40Acres_202005.pdf">states</a> that reparations are necessary so that white Americans do not continue to benefit from the profits of enslaved black Americans. In the same report, Darity <a href="https://rooseveltinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/RI_Report_ResurrectingthePromiseof40Acres_202005.pdf">alleges</a> that it is just as necessary for America to pay black Americans reparations as it was for Germany to pay reparations to survivors of the Holocaust.

Further in "Resurrecting the Promise", Darity <a href="https://rooseveltinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/RI_Report_ResurrectingthePromiseof40Acres_202005.pdf">calls</a> for a “formal reparations bill” to be passed by Congress, stating that reparations are needed to erase the black-white “wealth gulf” between black and white Americans.

In the conclusion of “Resurrecting the Promise,” Darity <a href="https://rooseveltinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/RI_Report_ResurrectingthePromiseof40Acres_202005.pdf">describes</a> reparations as the monetary centerpiece of all other forms of reparations and is required to eliminate the wealth gap, which is the “most glaring economic indicator” of racial injustice.

Following the publication of the paper, Darity announced in a <a href="https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2020/12/why-studying-inequality-matters-minor-ineuality-studies-samuel-dubois-cook">letter</a> for The Chronicle that he will oversee the recently added “Minor in Inequality Studies” alongside history professor Malachi Hacohen, and adjunct instructor of education Adam Hollowell.

According to the Duke University website, this field of study is <a href="https://socialequity.duke.edu/inequality-studies-minor/">offered</a> for students interested in studying, “causes and consequences of inequality and pursue research around issues of social equity across a range of social science methods.”

Darity <a href="https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2020/12/why-studying-inequality-matters-minor-ineuality-studies-samuel-dubois-cook">states</a> in the letter that inequality is interlaced in the “modern world” and reinforces “racism, sexism, colorism and other forms of discrimination.”

Darity further <a href="https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2020/12/why-studying-inequality-matters-minor-ineuality-studies-samuel-dubois-cook">states</a> in the letter that he hopes that students will “acquire a rigorous and analytical understanding of social inequality” to apply to their careers after they graduate.

 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Darity’s comparison between paying reparations to the descendants of slaves to that of Germany paying reparations to Holocaust victims.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Darity’s statement that inequality is inherent in our institutions and reinforces "racism, sexism, colorism, and other forms of discrimination."</li>
</ul>
Professor Darity responded with the following statement:

“Apart from your various spelling and grammatical errors, basically the first three statements you attribute to me are correct. I don't recall being directly quoted using the language in the fourth item. Also, in the second statement to be precise, my position is the "black-white wealth gulf is the most glaring economic indicator of racial injustice in the United States." I consider it a badge of honor to be considered for your McCarthyist Watchlist. Keep watching.” - Professor William Darity, Jr.
