Adrienne Keene is a faculty member and Assistant Professor of American Studies for Brown University’s Native American and Indigenous Studies Initiative. <a href="https://www.brown.edu/academics/native-american-and-indigenous-studies/faculty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Keene’s university profile</a> says her work “[engages] questions of creating Indigenous futures through higher education, specifically thinking through the role of college in projects of Indigenous nation building.”
Professor Keene, who identifies as a “citizen of the Cherokee Nation,” says Native American tribes are misrepresented in society, and imagery “is not representative of the vast diversity of Native America.” In 2015, <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=9798" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform reported</a> Keenee describing herself as a “‘white-coded indigenous woman.’” During that time she taught an online critical race theory course “to serve as ‘an online interactive space and resource hub.’”
<a href="https://youtu.be/-LHhzgSmc6k" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In an interview titled “Native Re-Appropriations,”</a> Keene describes cultural appropriation as “the taking of another culture that is not your own.&#8221; She included &#8220;cultural markers, religious symbols, and spiritual practices&#8221; in her definition. Regarding the harmfulness of cultural appropriation, she said, “What happens is that cultural appropriation can’t really be separated from systems of power that are already in place.”

<a href="https://vivo.brown.edu/display/mguterl">Dr. Matthew Pratt Guterl</a> is a Professor of American Studies at Brown University. He criticized University of Chicago for opposing safe spaces and for allowing controversial speakers, calling it a "cold, Darwinian approach". "It is not our job to make intellectual noise -- a raucous debate, a clashing set of ideas, a hurtful back-and-forth -- just because we can" he wrote.

<a href="https://www.depts.ttu.edu/biology/people/Faculty/Schwilk/">Dr. Dylan Schwilk</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Texas Tech. Citing rising COVID cases, Dr. Schwilk asked his class to segregate based on whether or not they wear masks in his classroom. 
The controversy occurred just prior to the first week of the spring semester classes in 2022. In his introductory email to the class—provided to TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist by an anonymous source—Dr. Schwilk announces new COVID restrictions that will be implemented the following day; students without masks will be asked to sit on opposite sides of the room from those who wear them. 
“I expect students will wear masks to protect others and themselves. Those students who refuse to wear masks will be asked to sit on the right hand side of the lecture hall (as you face the podium and screens) so that there is more separation from those wearing masks.”  
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-2597 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Screen-Shot-2022-11-17-at-2.49.36-PM.png" alt="" width="437" height="609" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Screen-Shot-2022-11-17-at-2.49.36-PM.png 437w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Screen-Shot-2022-11-17-at-2.49.36-PM-215x300.png 215w" sizes="(max-width: 437px) 100vw, 437px" />
Speaking to the Professor Watchlist, then-Turning Point USA chapter Vice-President, Morgonn McMichael said this is the first time that she’s encountered any restrictions. She reports that most students do not wear masks and is puzzled at Dr. Schwilk’s response.  She there are no serious problems with COVID outbreaks at Texas Tech. 
McMichael provided the following statement to the Professor Watchlist:
“As a student at texas tech [SIC] and seeing there not be a mandate I was thrilled but now seeing this professor, in particular, take it upon himself to blatantly segregate his class is discriminatory to all students, there are students in his class who will comply fearing for their grade, help in the class or gaining resources to do well. I am sickened by this professor&#8217;s actions in going against the university policy! Professors like this need to be held accountable!”

In a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/01/25/how-conservatives-learned-love-big-government/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">perspective piece</a> for The Washington Post, Huntington claims conservatives are “ideologically inconsistent” and flip-flop between hating big government when Democrats are in office while loving big government when Republicans are in the White House. He asserts that conservatives abuse their power and state authority and that those abusive practices are “woven into the very fabric of modern conservatism.”

In <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/10/13/manipulating-elections-is-conservative-tradition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another perspective piece</a> for The Washington Post, Huntington accuses conservatives of manipulating elections, claiming it’s “conservative tradition.” He claims that engineering elections is part of conservatives’ political heritage, and the idea that Democrats stole the 2020 election is a “central pillar” of conservative politics. He argues that conservatives “game the rules to gain power despite being in the minority.” Huntington believes that the 2020 election wasn’t the first time conservatives disagreed with an election outcome or tried to steal an election.

<a href="https://afam.clas.ufl.edu/directory/dr-julia-m-mollenthiel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julia Mollenthiel</a> is an Assistant Professor in the African American Studies Program at the University of Florida. She teaches several courses including, “Black Feminist Theory,” “Afro-Futurism,” and “Black Horror, White Terror.”
The <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/642780162/Black-Horror-White-Terror-syllabus-at-the-University-of-Florida" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course syllabus</a> for “Black Horror, White Terror” says:
“We will probe the genre of horror and its trends with a particular focus on representations of racial Otherness and racism. We will also consider the relationship between horror and Black literary modes and traditions focusing on key moments that depict fears of Blackness and/or the terror associated with being Black in America. This course will study the works of Black authors and producers as a way to explore racial identity and oppression.” 
Students in the course are <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12062269/Now-FRANKENSTEIN-racist-University-Florida-claims-monster-parallels-racial-stereotypes.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">required to read</a> classic works such as “Frankenstein” and Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” and study how they have “affected racialized discourse.” One required reading—”<a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/44321873" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Power and Horror of Whiteness</a>”—claims Poe was “haunted” by black people based on his fiction writings.
Another required reading is an academic article titled “<a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/651092" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frankenstein’s Monster and Images of Race in Nineteenth-Century Britain</a>.” <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/university-florida-offers-class-examining-white-terror-frankenstein-other-classic-texts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> writes that the article offers a “racial reading” of Frankenstein through “the Marxist and the feminist location of the novel in the social and psychological context of the times.” The article&#8217;s thesis claims “Shelley’s portrayal of her monster drew upon … contemporary attitudes towards non-whites.”

Dr. <a href="https://people.clas.ufl.edu/polssdw/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sharon D. Wright Austin</a> is a Professor of Political Science at the <a href="https://www.ufl.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Florida. </a>

As listed in her university profile, Dr. Austin’s research focuses on African-American political behavior, African-American political activism, and African-American women’s political behavior.  

During an interview, Dr. Austin <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/the-report/articles/2022-10-14/how-race-entered-the-midterms-in-the-guise-of-crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused conservatives of using “coded language” to appeal to bigoted voting blocks</a>:

"I think it's really just coded language, and it's not uncommon…While in the mid-20th century, candidates would openly use racial epithets, that changed later in the century, when GOP candidates would talk about busing and "states' rights.””

Her comments appeared in a US News and World Report article titled, “When ‘Crime’ is Code for ‘Race’.” She further claimed that “crime” and “socialism” are dog whistles for racists. 

In another article, Dr. Austin condemns the United States for <a href="https://www.governing.com/now/what-does-the-united-states-have-against-haitian-refugees" target="_blank" rel="noopener">targeting Haitian migrants with “anti-black racism.”</a> 

Noting that immigrants from Haiti are less likely to be granted political asylum than immigrants from other countries, Dr. Austin attributes this disparity to racism. She further accuses border patrol agents of beating Haitian migrants with rods: 

“These immigration issues alone don’t prove the existence of anti-black racism and we know that it is necessary to secure the border, but we have to ask ourselves two questions. Why is the number of Haitian migrants allowed to enter this country so much smaller than that of other nationalities? And when securing the border, can we really allow Haitians, or anyone else, to be beaten with rods by angry men on horseback?”

Although the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/07/08/border-agents-falsely-accused-of-whipping-migrants-punishment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">incident was later determined to be a hoax</a>, the story had already circulated widely among progressive activists. 

In addition to her professorial duties, Dr. Austin is a co-author of the upcoming book <a href="https://global.oup.com/academic/product/beyond-racial-capitalism-9780192868336?cc=us&amp;lang=en&amp;#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Beyond Racial Capitalism.”</a> According to the description, that book aims to highlight “anti-racist” cooperatives developed by the African diaspora.

<a href="https://people.clas.ufl.edu/rabreu26/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roberto L. Abreu</a> is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Florida. According to his biography and the description of his organization, the “<a href="https://cheverelab.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chevere Lab</a>, Abreu's research “explores ways in which marginalized communities resist systemic oppression” The Lab even offers <a href="https://cheverelab.com/chvere-resources" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resources for parents of LGBT children</a>, namely how they can evade bans on gender transitions of minors.

In an article for <a href="https://theconversation.com/transgender-people-of-color-face-unique-challenges-as-gender-discrimination-and-racism-intersect-179515" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Conversation,</a> Abreu alleges that transgender people were revered in cultures around the world. Europeans, he writes, introduced a gender binary to invalidate trans people and force them into “white social norms.” Abreu blames colonial oppression, Christianity, and “anti-blackness” for modern bigotry against trans people. 

“...European colonizers began forcing indigenous people to follow white social norms. These include anti-Blackness, Christianity and [SIC] a gender binary that reduced gender to just man and woman.” 

Abreu further lists racism, xenophobia, and cisnormativity as several of the many types of oppression that trans people face. He attacks “cisgender” doctors for “deadnaming” patients and attempting to cure trans people based on what they believe bodies should look like. 

He concludes that trans people should take pride in their gender and ethnic identity in the face of racism, sexism, and “transmisogynoir,” or the intersection of anti-Black racism, cissexism and sexism. Cisgender people, he continues, should “leverage [their] privilege to support trans people of color.”

Abreu believes the most influential support a trans child can receive comes from school teachers and staff. Writing in the <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/335420691_Supporting_Transgender_Students_School_Counselors%27_Preparedness_Training_Efforts_and_Necessary_Support" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Journal of LGBT Youth</a>, Abreu advocates for counselors to become the focal point to support trans kids in the light of “oppressive policies and laws (that) significantly impact the psychological and academic well-being of transgender students in the United States.” 

Trans oppression is a common theme throughout Abreu’s work, with a particular focus on transgender children. He often condemns conservative states for passing legislation he claims will “suffocate” trans children.

In a separate paper—titled, “<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/317633080_Myths_and_Misconceptions_About_LGBTQ_Youth_School_Counselors%27_Role_in_Advocacy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Myths and Misconceptions About LGBTQ Youth</a>”— Abreu writes that counselors must become “active advocates” for gay and transgender children. The paper attempts to debunk “myths” held by parents and students that “harm” LGBTQ students.  

One “myth” Abreu lists is the idea that “Parents must be informed of their child’s sexual and gender identity.” He encourages school employees to withhold information about students, as “revealing their sexual and/or gender identity to parents might have detrimental effects for the youth.” 

Abreu further disputes that gender-neutral bathrooms are unsafe. He claims that gender-specific bathrooms infringe on the rights of “gender expansive” students, and “no scientific data supports the claim that trans-inclusive or gender-inclusive facilities pose a threat or are unsafe to any particular individual.”

DeCarlis—who <a href="https://remix.berklee.edu/able-assembly-conference/64/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describes</a> herself as a “white, queer, invisibly disabled, cis-passing person in a straight-passing relationship,” and possessing ”thin privilege”—hosts art workshops that feature fat, disabled, transgender, and nude models. 

DeCarlis aims to displace what she describes as universities’ tendency to only hire “<a href="https://www.wbur.org/news/2019/07/26/diversity-figure-drawing-modeling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white, thin, able-bodied models</a>.” She further attacked the “hyper-idealized, male, Greco-Roman forms” used in art for allegedly <a href="https://remix.berklee.edu/able-assembly-conference/64/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">perpetuating</a> “harmful ideas” about bodies. 

In her most recent exhibit, DeCarlis <a href="https://www.alligator.org/article/2023/06/figure-on-diversity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describes</a> her preferred models as “people of color, fat, disabled, members of the LGBTQ community,” or otherwise “oppressed:” 
“It’s really important for the models who have been oppressed on the basis of their appearance to have the opportunity to be seen.”

&nbsp;

DeCarlis features other models on her <a href="https://www.angeladecarlis.com/figureondiversity">personal site</a>. Many are transgender, nude, and have undergone visible mastectomies, phalloplasties, and vaginoplasties. 

She has previously described her work in a post on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpkw4pip4m9/">Instagram</a> (see image below) as based in critical race theory and influenced by “Black, BIPOC, Queer, Fat, Crip/Disabled scholars.”

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-3012" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-14-at-2.42.16-PM.png" alt="" width="500" height="351" />

&nbsp;

DeCarlis’ subsequent exhibit on June 11th, 2023 will recruit transgender-identifying teenagers and other “gender-diverse” persons under 18. Attendees will spend three days observing and drawing transgender and other “gender-expansive models.”

DeCarlis hopes the workshop will give “transgender” youth the chance to be “proud” of their bodies and learn from other adults who have transitioned. 
“[Age] 16 to 24 is a really vulnerable time—your body is going through a lot of changes…And for trans youth, these changes can be really traumatizing.”    
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-3013" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-14-at-2.43.29-PM.png" alt="" width="500" height="344" />

&nbsp;

The event page stipulates that anyone is welcome to attend, but only if they have a “marginalized” identity. 
“Anybody who’s excited about the idea of posing for artists and who holds at least on [sic] marginalized identity is welcome to apply and pose.”

<a href="https://www.uab.edu/cas/anthropology/people/faculty-directory/122-sara-h-parcak">Sarah H. Parcak</a> is a Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Alabama-Birmingham (UAB). According to her university bio, Professor Parcak’s research and teaching interests include archaeology, archaeological science, and Egyptology.
Professor Parcak is known for her partisan use of her personal <a href="https://twitter.com/indyfromspace?lang=en">Twitter</a> account to attack conservatives and call for the tearing down of monuments.
As The Daily Caller documents, riots <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/08/25/list-of-cities-riots-three-months-george-floyd-death-looting-fires-police-seattle-portland-dc-atlanta/">broke out</a> in dozens of cities during the summer months of 2020. According to data from the Insurance Information Institute, the riots are the <a href="https://www.iii.org/fact-statistic/facts-statistics-civil-disorders">most destructive</a> in the history of the nation, resulting in $2 billion in estimated damages nationwide as of March 2021. According to The Federalist, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/">47 deaths</a> may be attributed to the riots.
On May 31, in the midst of the destruction, Professor Parcak tweeted instructions for protestors to follow when tearing down national monuments. Parcak <a href="https://twitter.com/indyfromspace/status/1267271817439346689">offers</a> her expertise as an Egyptologist to any rioters interested in pulling down statues.

Parcak then <a href="https://twitter.com/indyfromspace/status/1267273933746774022">tweets</a> a crudely drawn depiction of what appears to be the Washington Monument as an example of a “racist” monument to destroy.

On the day of the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Parcak <a href="https://twitter.com/indyfromspace/status/1307104389962838022">tweeted</a> praise for the Justice, describes her as an “icon.”
<a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ruth-Bader-Ginsburg">Ruth Bader Ginsburg</a> served as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, serving as only the second woman ever on the court. She died on September 18, 2020.

Conversely, on the day of Rush Limbaugh’s passing, Parcak immediately took to Twitter to celebrate his death. As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/here-are-the-professors-disparaging-rush-limbaughs-passing">reports</a>, Parcak refers to Limbaugh as a “piece of scum,” and expresses her hope that he “suffered until his last breath” in a now-deleted tweet.
“When a terrible piece of scum who caused immeasurable harm to millions dies, there is no sympathy. Only a desire that they suffered until their last breath.” 
<a href="https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/">Rush Limbaugh</a> was a popular radio personality known for his conservative views. He passed away in February 2021 at 70 years of age after battling lung cancer.  In an interview with Fox News after Limaugh’s passing, President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.air.tv/watch?v=hmCt0LrlSx6qndGAzaFjzw">described</a> him as a “great gentleman” and a “great man.”
In response to Parcak’s statement, <a href="https://www.al.com/news/2021/02/sarah-parcak-rush-limbaugh-controversy-alabama-gop-chief-calls-out-uab-professors-antics.html">AL.com</a> reports that President University of Alabama-Birmingham, Ray Watts, <a href="https://www.al.com/news/2021/02/sarah-parcak-rush-limbaugh-controversy-alabama-gop-chief-calls-out-uab-professors-antics.html">condemned</a> Parcak’s tweet about Limbaugh, stating that the university is “disgusted” of what Watt characterizes as “blindly inhumane and cruel.”
“UAB is disgusted and extremely troubled that Sarah Parcak would tweet something so unprofessional and blindly inhumane and cruel. Her poor judgment is completely counter to our shared values as an institution that include integrity and respect. She absolutely does not speak for our university, and we are reviewing the matter”
In response to an <a href="https://www.al.com/news/2021/02/sarah-parcak-rush-limbaugh-controversy-alabama-gop-chief-calls-out-uab-professors-antics.html">inquiry</a> by the site AL.com about Parcak’s statement condemning Limbaugh, UAB spokesperson Alicia Roberston describes the incident as a “personal matter.” and that the university is “continuing to review the matter.”
The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Parcak for comment, but have not received an answer by the time of publication.

According to The Federalist, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/">47 deaths</a> may be attributed to the riots.

On May 31, in the midst of the destruction, Professor Parcak tweeted instructions for protestors to follow when tearing down national monuments. Parcak <a href="https://twitter.com/indyfromspace/status/1267271817439346689">offers</a> her expertise as an Egyptologist to any rioters interested in pulling down statues.

Parcak <a href="https://twitter.com/indyfromspace/status/1267271826398498817">instructs</a> her followers to “celebrate” the destruction of monuments dedicated to “racism and white nationalism.”

Parcak then <a href="https://twitter.com/indyfromspace/status/1267273933746774022">tweets</a> a crudely drawn depiction of what appears to be the Washington Monument as an example of a “racist” monument to destroy.

<a href="https://twitter.com/indyfromspace/status/1267273933746774022"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1234 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-01-at-1.05.08-PM.png" alt="" width="620" height="664" /></a>

On the day of the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Parcak <a href="https://twitter.com/indyfromspace/status/1307104389962838022">tweeted</a> praise for the Justice, describes her as an “icon.”

<a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ruth-Bader-Ginsburg">Ruth Bader Ginsburg</a> served as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, serving as only the second woman ever on the court. She died on September 18, 2020.

<a href="https://twitter.com/indyfromspace/status/1307104389962838022"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1236 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-01-at-1.10.17-PM.png" alt="" width="610" height="283" /></a>

Parcak then interspersed her eulogy to Justice Ginsburg to attack conservatives, <a href="https://twitter.com/indyfromspace/status/1307120328435474433?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1307120328435474433%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Falexparker%2F2020%2F09%2F22%2Falabama-professor-sarah-parcak-ruth-bader-ginsburg-maga-bootlickers-n255143">referring</a> to them as “MAGA f*ckstick bootlickers."

Conversely, on the day of Rush Limbaugh’s passing, Parcak immediately took to Twitter to celebrate his death. As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/here-are-the-professors-disparaging-rush-limbaughs-passing">reports</a>, Parcak refers to Limbaugh as a “piece of scum,” and expresses her hope that he “suffered until his last breath” in a now-deleted tweet.

“When a terrible piece of scum who caused immeasurable harm to millions dies, there is no sympathy. Only a desire that they suffered until their last breath.” 

<a href="https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/">Rush Limbaugh</a> was a popular radio personality known for his conservative views. He passed away in February 2021 at 70 years of age after battling lung cancer.  In an interview with Fox News after Limaugh’s passing, President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.air.tv/watch?v=hmCt0LrlSx6qndGAzaFjzw">described</a> him as a “great gentleman” and a “great man.”

In response to Parcak’s statement, <a href="https://www.al.com/news/2021/02/sarah-parcak-rush-limbaugh-controversy-alabama-gop-chief-calls-out-uab-professors-antics.html">AL.com</a> reports that President University of Alabama-Birmingham, Ray Watts, <a href="https://www.al.com/news/2021/02/sarah-parcak-rush-limbaugh-controversy-alabama-gop-chief-calls-out-uab-professors-antics.html">condemned</a> Parcak’s tweet about Limbaugh, stating that the university is “disgusted” of what Watt characterizes as “blindly inhumane and cruel.”

“UAB is disgusted and extremely troubled that Sarah Parcak would tweet something so unprofessional and blindly inhumane and cruel. Her poor judgment is completely counter to our shared values as an institution that include integrity and respect. She absolutely does not speak for our university, and we are reviewing the matter”

In response to an <a href="https://www.al.com/news/2021/02/sarah-parcak-rush-limbaugh-controversy-alabama-gop-chief-calls-out-uab-professors-antics.html">inquiry</a> by the site AL.com about Parcak’s statement condemning Limbaugh, UAB spokesperson Alicia Roberston describes the incident as a “personal matter.” and that the university is “continuing to review the matter.”

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Parcak for comment, but have not received an answer by the time of publication.

<a href="https://www.uab.edu/medicine/peds/faculty/ladinsky" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Morissa Ladinsky</a> is an M.D and Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).

During a presentation at the American Academy of Pediatrics, she offered praise toward a gender-dysphoric teen for taking his life.

Dr. Ladinsky was <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/leelah-alcorn-transgender-teens-reported-suicide-note-makes/story?id=27912326" target="_blank" rel="noopener">referencing the suicide of Ohio teenager Leelah Alcorn</a>—born Joshua Alcorn—who suffered from gender dysphoria for years. Alcorn took his life in 2014 by stepping in front of a tractor-trailer. The suicide note left requested that his death “mean something” to other transgender teenagers.

In her remarks, Dr. Ladinsky <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/video-transgender-teen-boldly-committed-suicide-pediatrics-professor-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">described Alcorn as “boldly” stepping in front of the oncoming truck:</a>

“In the final days of 2014, a local 16-year-old young lady, Leelah Alcorn, of trans experience, stepped boldly in front of a tractor-trailer, ending her life. “

She continued:

“Her suicide note, written to post on social media about an hour after her death, went viral, literally around the world. Now Leelah was not my patient, but I took care of hundreds of her classmates at Kings Mills High School. But, each day, on the way to work, I passed that spot where this teen boldly ended her life.” 

A tweet capturing her remarks soon went viral:

“I regret my choice of words that has been interpreted to glorify self-harm, This was never my intent. In discussing the tragic event, I sought to convey my work toward a day when no teen feels they must take their life…Any suicide is devastating, and I want anyone who is struggling to know that help is available.”

Dr. Allyn Walker is an openly transgender —preferred pronouns they/them—a postdoctoral fellow at the <a href="https://publichealth.jhu.edu/">Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health</a>. In June of 2021, Dr. Walker <a href="https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520306363/a-long-dark-shadow">wrote a book titled</a>, A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity.

<img class="size-full wp-image-1773 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-15-at-11.31.39-AM.png" alt="" width="466" height="222" />

The book, which Dr. Walker describes as interview-based research, discusses non-offending pedophiles (or Minor-Attracted Persons, as Dr. Walker calls them). According to Dr. Walker, the book highlights people who are attracted to minors who don’t don’t commit violent crimes in order to challenge the “widespread assumption that those who are ‘preferentially attracted to minors’ are always predators and sex offenders.” The book details how those who don’t commit violent crimes against children navigate their feelings and attraction to minors.

On November 11, 2021<a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1458985538334068740?s=21" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> a series of videos on Twitter of Dr. Walker came to light</a>. In these videos, Dr. Walker tries to normalize the term “Minor-Attracted Person” (MAP) and destigmatize pedophilia. In the video, Dr. Walker claims that it is important to call a group by a name in which they want to be called. Dr. Walker states that groups are advocating for MAP as their name because it’s less stigmatized than the term pedophile, and they are doing nothing wrong if they aren’t committing violent crimes against children. Dr. Walker goes on to say that who a person is attracted to (in this case children) isn’t indicative of the morality of that person or that attraction. The video series can be viewed below:

https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1458985538334068740?s=21

After the video received a significant amount of backlash, <a href="https://www.wtkr.com/news/odu-releases-statement-after-assistant-professor-gives-controversial-interview-defending-people-attracted-to-children">Old Dominion University—Dr. Walker’s employer at the time—released a statement</a>, asserting that, as an academic community, it’s vital to be “willing to consider scientific and other empirical data that may involve controversial issues and perspectives.” They went on to claim that they don’t endorse or promote any crimes against children or any form of criminal activity.

Old Dominion University would later announce that Dr. Allyn Walker would <a href="https://www.odu.edu/news/2021/11/a_statement_from_old_dominion_university#.Yn343qjMI2w">resign at the expiration of his contract</a> in May 2022.

<a href="https://www.jgillpeterson.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jules Gill-Peterson</a> is an Associate Professor of History at <a href="https://www.jhu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Johns Hopkins University</a>. He has referred to the gender binary as “junk science” and advocated for allowing children to transition at any age.

In his substack—<a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/archive?sort=new" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sad Brown Girl</a>—Peterson attacks conservatives as transphobic, denies there can be only two genders, and documents his life as a transwoman and activist. In one article, titled “The Cis State,” he claims the <a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/the-cis-state" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gender binary never existed historically in the medical community</a>. Rather, politicians and psychologists invented the concept 70 years ago in a nefarious attempt to control people.

“...[S]ex did not become cis until the invention of the concept of gender in the mid-twentieth century. Gender was invented by psychologists to bring order to the collapse of the sex binary in science and medicine.”  

During an interview with Scientific American, <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/video/how-junk-science-is-being-used-against-trans-kids2/#Echobox=1649463388" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peterson claims the idea of a gender binary is still weaponized by present-day scientists against trans people.</a> After being introduced by the host as a “science historian,” he again states that scientists had no idea what determined sex or gender until the mid-20th century.

Further on, Peterson asserts there is no consensus on what determines whether someone is male or female. He then compares any scientific attempts to do so with the “junk science” of the eugenics movement and inflicting harm on trans people.

The full interview may be viewed below:

Peterson often addresses issues surrounding transgender children and berates critics who challenge that children can transition at a young age. On his <a href="https://twitter.com/gp_jls" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal Twitter account</a>, Peterson urges his followers to “champion” trans children, and even “to want there to be trans kids in the world.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
South Dakota has spent SEVEN YEARS working to pass this anti-trans bill. Trans people have had to organize against it for seven years—and now it passes.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

In a separate thread, he calls for the “abolition” of the family to relieve the “bulwark” of protection that parents provide children.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
an underrated problem in the left’s neoliberal retreat from family abolition (shoutout again to <a href="https://twitter.com/reproutopia?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@reproutopia</a>) is that trans kids are left with a pitifully anemic option for care. the...family? we except the family to ideally care for trans kids? based on what evidence?!

Peterson claims that <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/163113/behind-gop-strategy-outlaw-trans-youth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">it’s false to “presume” that trans kids will be cared for by their families</a>. His comments appeared in an interview with The New Republic, where he depicted parents as an impediment to trans children. He attacks white women as segregationists who weaponize their status as mothers to fuel anti-trans legislation. “The figure of the mom is hanging over everything,” she states.

In a separate substack article, <a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/we-the-abuser-state" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he further claims that “parental rights” are inhibiting minors from making fully autonomous decisions about their gender</a>.

“The slogan of ‘parental rights” is at the root of the fantasy that children are quasi-property, not people.”

Conservatives who object to transitioning children are <a href="https://thenewinquiry.com/from-gender-critical-to-qanon-anti-trans-politics-and-the-laundering-of-conspiracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">branded as QAnon-style conspiracy theorists</a> who are aiming to construct an “<a href="https://jewishcurrents.org/the-anti-trans-lobbys-real-agenda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authoritarian Christian ethnostate.</a>”

Much of this ire is directed toward author Abigail Shrier author of, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Irreversible-Damage-Transgender-Seducing-Daughters/dp/1684510317" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Irreversible Damage.”</a> The book examines the exponential increase in rates of gender dysphoria among teenagers—of which Shrier attributes to <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/06/27/how-peer-contagion-plays-into-the-rise-of-teens-transitioning/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“peer contagion”</a>—and the negative, <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">long-term health effects on teens who undergo gender transitions</a>.

Reacting to a Senate testimony delivered by Shrier on trans children, Peterson <a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/abigail-shrier-goes-to-washington" target="_blank" rel="noopener">labels her as a “TERF”</a> (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist) who is unqualified to speak on trans issues, in part because Shrier is not transgender herself. She accuses Shrier of flirting with white supremacy and peddling “pedophilic fantasies.”

“I invite you to join me in standing against the extreme sexual harassment, pedophilic fantasies, and torturous sadism of TERF and anti-trans rhetoric peddled by people like Shrier, backed up by an army of internet trolls and well-funded cultural tastemakers getting rich off pretending they are humiliated and canceled.“

Peterson is also the author of “History of the Transgender Child,” which maintains that <a href="https://history.jhu.edu/faculty-books/histories-of-the-transgender-child/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transgender children have been prevalent and well-documented over the last century</a>. He further serves as the General Editor of <a href="https://www.dukeupress.edu/tsq-transgender-studies-quarterly">Transgender Studies Quarterly</a>, of which the next issue will feature “Trans Marxist” authors and perspectives.

<a href="https://krieger.jhu.edu/africana/directory/shani-mott/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shani Mott</a> is a Lecturer of Africana Studies at Johns Hopkins University (JHU). Her research interests “address how mid-twentieth century writers of both fiction and non-fiction strategically deployed racial language in American popular culture.”

Mott’s university profile also mentions a manuscript titled, “Saving the Soul of the Great Republic: Imagining Race and Writing Democracy.” According to the description, the book “argues that authors writing during the inter- and postwar years of the twentieth century relied on ‘literary racial transvestism,’ a practice wherein black authors wrote novels with predominantly white characters and [vice versa].”

<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/home-appraiser-countersues-professors-who-accused-him-of-racism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a> featured Mott and her husband <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nathanconnolly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nathan Connolly</a> (also a JHU professor) in the article, “Home appraiser countersues professors who accused him of racism.” The Fix said the couple filed a lawsuit alleging that a white appraiser valued their home differently after the couple removed evidence that would indicate their ethnicity.

Their <a href="https://wp-orep-cdn.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/30175948/2020_Valuations_Maryland_complaint_70.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit claims</a> the appraiser “dramatically undervalu[ed] their home in an appraisal because of their race and their home’s location adjacent to a black census block, notwithstanding that it is also located within Homeland, an affluent, mostly white neighborhood.” When the couple’s white friend posed at the homeowner, the appraisal allegedly went from $472,000 to $750,000.

The College Fix said the countersuit mentions a home in the same neighborhood that sold within a month of Mott’s. The same company appraised the home for $7,000 less than the purchase price. Further, Mott and her husband did not provide their appraiser with documentation of any additional estimates showing a higher home value.

Mott and her husband appeared on ABC Live News to tell their side of the story:

Dr. Elizabeth Kolsky is an <a href="https://www1.villanova.edu/villanova/artsci/asian/meetourfaculty.html?mail=elizabeth.kolsky@villanova.edu&amp;xsl=bio_long" target="_blank" rel="noopener">associate professor of History</a> and Director of Asian Studies at Villanova University. Her areas of interest include South Asian history, British Empire history, history of human rights, and gender studies. Dr. Kolsky has penned many publications on these subjects for various outlets ranging from The Washington Post to The Journal of Asian Studies.  She frequently writes about white supremacy in the United States, her disdain for conservatives, and underlying racism in U.S. institutions.

<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/06/03/autopsies-can-uphold-white-supremacy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a perspective’s piece</a> published by The Washington Post, Dr. Kolsky accuses autopsies, an objective, postmortem examination to determine a person’s cause of death, of upholding white supremacy. According to Dr. Kolsky, modern medical tools, like autopsy reports, have historically legitimized racist structures of white supremacy. She discusses colonial India, citing that whiteness “functioned as a license to kill and law and medicine provided alibis.” She believes that autopsies should be viewed while keeping in mind that white supremacy built the foundations of law and violence.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Some scholars celebrate the global impact of the US Declaration of Independence. Channeling Frederick Douglass, I ask: what to the colonial world was the 4th of July? Marking the spread of white supremacy, it was a day to mourn. Read my Wash Post piece! <a href="https://t.co/6Xcvn843fv">https://t.co/6Xcvn843fv</a>

Another symbol of “white supremacy,” as claimed by Dr. Kolsky, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/07/03/it-is-time-reconsider-global-legacy-july-4-1776/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">is the Fourth of July</a>. In her opinion, the United States was founded on the backs of slaves, and white supremacy of the United States and Britain intertwined after the U.S. gained independence. Dr. Kolsky maintains that, “British and American empires mutually reinforced the idea that black and indigenous lives don’t matter.” She goes on to cite the recent death of George Floyd as an example of America’s racist foundation still being present today.
Dr. Kolsky often takes to Twitter to discuss her work as well as share her political opinions. She regularly posts about her disdain for conservatives and Republicans. Below are some examples:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Also the racist rhetoric delivered so coolly: when white Republicans vote it’s a vote but when Black Dems vote it’s theft.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Rightwing &#39;Murica First! nationalism doesn&#39;t embrace or accept the poco critique of the &quot;West.&quot; As Trump&#39;s Mt Rushmore speech reveals, they&#39;re clinging to the narrative: &quot;1776 represented the culmination of thousands of years of western civilization and the triumph&#8230;&quot; blablabla
&mdash; Elizabeth Kolsky (@ElizabethKolsky) <a href="https://twitter.com/ElizabethKolsky/status/1280212510361206787?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 6, 2020</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
Dr. Kolsky also perpetuates anti-police rhetoric on Twitter. <a href="https://twitter.com/ElizabethKolsky/status/1268792045860257792" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a tweet from June 4, 2020</a>, Dr. Kolsky writes, “They [police] use overwhelming and excessive force against the few to terrorize the many. Their goal is to teach people a lesson of obedience using the language of violence. This has been white supremacy’s strategy for centuries.”  <a href="https://twitter.com/ElizabethKolsky/status/1269420138207510528" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In another tweet</a>, she alleges that, “structural racism isn&#8217;t personal. Do you think only &#8220;bad people&#8221; can be racist? Do you think only &#8220;bad cops&#8221; brutally assault people? To borrow the language of a fellow historian, many of these are &#8220;ordinary people.&#8221;
Dr. Kolsky appears to believe that not only is America racist at its core, but the institutions within the country are as well. She promotes dangerous ideals that white people use science and medicine to get away with murder and police officers are abusive, both at the structural and independent levels.

She discusses colonial India, citing that whiteness “functioned as a license to kill and law and medicine provided alibis.” She believes that autopsies should be viewed while keeping in mind that white supremacy built the foundations of law and violence.

Another symbol of “white supremacy,” as claimed by Dr. Kolsky, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/07/03/it-is-time-reconsider-global-legacy-july-4-1776/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">is the Fourth of July</a>. In her opinion, the United States was founded on the backs of slaves, and white supremacy of the United States and Britain intertwined after the U.S. gained independence. Dr. Kolsky maintains that, “British and American empires mutually reinforced the idea that black and indigenous lives don’t matter.” She goes on to cite the recent death of George Floyd as an example of America’s racist foundation still being present today.

Dr. Kolsky often takes to Twitter to discuss her work as well as share her political opinions. She regularly posts about her disdain for conservatives and Republicans. Below are some examples:

https://twitter.com/ElizabethKolsky/status/1280212510361206787

&nbsp;

Dr. Kolsky also perpetuates anti-police rhetoric on Twitter. <a href="https://twitter.com/ElizabethKolsky/status/1268792045860257792" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a tweet from June 4, 2020</a>, Dr. Kolsky writes, “They [police] use overwhelming and excessive force against the few to terrorize the many. Their goal is to teach people a lesson of obedience using the language of violence. This has been white supremacy’s strategy for centuries.”  <a href="https://twitter.com/ElizabethKolsky/status/1269420138207510528" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In another tweet</a>, she alleges that, “structural racism isn't personal. Do you think only "bad people" can be racist? Do you think only "bad cops" brutally assault people? To borrow the language of a fellow historian, many of these are "ordinary people."

Dr. Kolsky appears to believe that not only is America racist at its core, but the institutions within the country are as well. She promotes dangerous ideals that white people use science and medicine to get away with murder and police officers are abusive, both at the structural and independent levels.

<a href="https://www1.villanova.edu/university/experts/expert-detail.html?expert=jerusha.conner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jerusha Conner</a> is a Professor of Education in the Department of Education and Counseling at Villanova University. According to her <a href="http://jerushaconner.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal website</a>, her research focuses on “student engagement, student voice, youth activism, youth civic engagement, and youth organizing.”

Conner is a proponent of teaching critical race theory—”an academic framework that holds that racism is embedded in society”—to students in public schools. She wrote an article for <a href="https://theconversation.com/critical-race-theory-sparks-activism-in-students-162649" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Conversation</a> titled, “Critical race theory sparks activism in students.” She argues that, when taught well, “the analytical tools of critical race theory can support valuable long-term education, professional, civil and political outcomes.”

Conner argues one of the benefits of teaching critical race theory to students is that it “ignites passion,” saying:
“In my research, I have observed that when youth organizers learn how power and privilege are reproduced from one generation to the next through racialized policies like redlining or discrimination in housing, funding school districts on the basis of property taxes, which favors wealthier school districts, and tracking students into different academic levels, they often become inspired to take action to redress unfair conditions.” 
She also discusses one youth organizing group where students teach each other about “the spiral of oppression.”
“This framework helps young people understand how societal oppression of groups of people, such as racial minorities, spirals as individuals from those groups internalize oppression and begin to act on the negative stereotypes they have internalized. These actions, in turn, lead to further oppression, such as greater police surveillance, supervision and state violence as the spiral continues.” 
Conner concludes by arguing:
“When politicians advance legislation to block the use of critical race theory in schools, they may actually be blocking an important means of fostering outcomes that would make America’s democracy even more robust and vibrant than it would otherwise be.”

As <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/dhs-leaked-email-confirms-that-antifa-is-an-organized-group" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> by The Post-Millennial, leaked emails from the Department of Homeland Security show that law enforcement agencies identify Antifa as an organization that engages in “organized” rather than sporadic violence. Many <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/guns-knives-and-other-weapons-confiscated-from-suspects-at-portland-antifa-riot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">members arm themselves with knives and firearms</a> to violently confront conservatives at events. In the Summer of 2021, <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/us-attorneys-office-in-dc-refuses-to-investigate-attack-on-rand-paul/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">members of Antifa attacked Senator Rand Paul</a> and his wife as they walked through Washington D.C.
When sitting down for a conversation with an undercover Project Veritas reporter, Mr. Gipe describes himself politically, “as far left as you can go.” Continuing, he depicts his fantasy involving taking up arms and overthrowing the government in a communist revolution.
Throughout the video, Mr. Gipe can be seen wearing a shirt adorned with red and black flags and the slogan, “antifaschistische aktion.” The phrase and symbol were originally used by the <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/01/the_fascist_roots_behind_todays_justification_of_political_violence.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Communist Party of Germany (KPD) in the 1920s and early 1930s</a>. Founded, funded, and directed by the Soviet Union—and working alongside a fledgling NAZI party— the KPD hoped to spark a communist revolution in Germany that would overthrow the Weimar Republic.
In the video, Mr. Gipe can be heard describing his involvement both in Antifa groups throughout California and in organizing protests against right-wing groups in Sacramento. He proceeds to describe how he lists left-wing events on his classroom whiteboard—including Antifa protests—and bribes his students by offering them extra credit to attend.

As for students that object to his positions, Mr. Gipe describes to the reporter how he publicly shames them in class. When a student posted an anonymous comment decrying the Antifa flag hung in the classroom, Mr. Gipe brags that he read the comment aloud to his class before implying the student must be a fascist.

She has received a Martin Luther King, Jr., NH state award for anti-racism in schools and is the co-founder of People Against Racism in Education (PARE).
Dr. Hammer made headlines after making a statement that upset LGBTQ students and allies in an undergraduate course.

Fox also said, “On September 7…a heated discussion began over gender identity, and only one student in the class agreed with the professor. Most others in the class stated that a spectrum exists for gender and biological sex.”
Although several students walked out during Hammer’s course on September 14, and demanded her termination, USM officials “announced Monday [October 3] that they would not replace [her]&#8230;Instead, USM will make an alternative, identical class available,” according to <a href="https://www.bangordailynews.com/2022/10/03/news/portland/usm-wont-replace-professor-2-sexes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bangor Daily News</a>.

Although several students walked out during Hammer’s course on September 14, and demanded her termination, USM officials “announced Monday [October 3] that they would not replace [her]...Instead, USM will make an alternative, identical class available,” according to <a href="https://www.bangordailynews.com/2022/10/03/news/portland/usm-wont-replace-professor-2-sexes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bangor Daily News</a>. 

Bangor further stated that a meeting for restorative justice — a social rehabilitative and reconciliation practice — occurred and “the sole student who had [agreed with Hammer] apologized to classmates. But Hammer maintained her position on the binary nature of sex.”

According to her <a href="https://bellarmine.lmu.edu/psychology/research/parc/ourteam/cherylgrillsphd/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">university profile</a>, Cheryl Grills is “a Clinical Psychologist with a current emphasis in Community Psychology…[and] a tenured, Full Professor in the Psychology [Department]” at the University of Loyola &#8211; Marymount.
Grills is a proponent of reparations being granted to living African Americans due to the enslavement of African Americans in the United States before the Emancipation Proclamation (1863). In January of 2022, Grills was appointed to the <a href="https://reparationscomm.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National African American Reparations Commission (NAARC)</a>. In her <a href="https://reparationscomm.org/naarc-news/press-releases/dr-cheryl-grills-appointed-to-national-reparations-commission/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acceptance statement</a>, she made the following comments:
“I am my ancestors’ wildest dreams making reparations both a personal and professional matter. The work of unveiling, decolonizing and redressing the history of our enslavement and post enslavement oppression in America is long overdue.”
Continuing, she said:  
“Doing the work of reparations brings several opportunities including helping us as Black people change how we as a community understand where we are (in the tapestry of American life), how we got here (interpreting our personal and collective stories), and where we want to go (unencumbered by the weight of racism and the anti-Black narrative that dominates this society).”
In conclusion, Grills stated:
 “This is an all-hands-on deck call for ubuntu (community) and sawubona (truly seeing each other free of the lies of White superiority and Black inferiority). It is an honor to serve as a commissioner on the NAARC bringing the tools of psychology to the reparations discourse to ensure that our mental health and well-being as individuals and as a community are a central part of the process of repair.” 
Grills was president of the <a href="https://abpsi.site-ym.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Association of Black Psychologists</a> from 2011 to 2013. In an article titled <a href="https://dignityinschools.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Grills_Article.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“African Psychology,”</a> Grills touches on other metaphysical subjects. She defines “African-centered psychology [as] the dynamic manifestation of unifying African principles, values and traditions…African-Centered psychology examines the process that allows for the illumination and liberation of the spirit.”
In the <a href="https://www.ul.ac.za/application/downloads/Grills%20African%20Psychology%20Keynote.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abstract</a> to a keynote on African psychology, Grills made the following claim: 
“​​Western Psychology grounded, in its own paradigmatic preconceptions and assumptions, has usurped authority over the province of psychology. In so doing, it has dramatically limited, on a global scale, “acceptable” questions, methods, and  evidence on matters of human behavior and ontology.” 
According to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-reparations-task-force-member-complains-preoccupation-800b-price-tag-least-important" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a>, in the Spring of 2023 Grills complained about the media’s concern with the $800 billion dollar reparation amount <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/reparations-black-californians-top-800-billion-rcna77160" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proposed</a> for African Americans in California:
&#8220;We want to make sure that this is presented out in a way that does not reinforce the preoccupation with a dollar figure, which is the least important piece of this. It’s important, but it’s the least important in terms of being able to get to a point in our country’s history and in California’s history where we recognize that the harm cuts across multiple areas and domains and that the repair needs to align with that. It’s really unfortunate. I’m actually sad to see that our news media is not able to nuance better. It’s almost like, ‘What’s going to be sensational’ as opposed to what’s important.&#8221;

<a href="http://bellarmine.lmu.edu/afam/faculty/?expert=stefan.bradley">Stefan Bradley</a>, associate professor and chair of African-American studies at Loyola Marymount University, praised “violent or destructive demonstrations" because they "draw the attention of the wider public and motivates decision makers to act." In response to an address made by Jeff Sessions at Georgetown University, Bradley wrote an op-ed titled "Civil Debate is Fine. Protest is Better." where he argues protesting and "shutting down speeches" are the only way to promote change.

Dr. <a href="https://bellarmine.lmu.edu/yoga/people/faculty/?expert=chris.miller2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christopher Jain Miller</a> is the Bhagwan Mallinath Assistant Professor of Jainism and Yoga Studies at <a href="https://mission.lmu.edu/mission/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Loyola Marymount University</a>, a Jesuit University located in Los Angeles, California. In a course-wide email sent to his students, Dr. Miller threatened to reduce the grade of any student that did not announce their pronouns.

In the email—obtained by the Twitter handle, <a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Libs of Tik Tok</a>—Dr. Miller informs students that they are required to list their preferred gender pronouns when submitting their next assignment. He further warns that failure to do so will result in a reduction of their grade.

“I added a new syllabus to Brightspace and the one major change we all need to take note of is that all are required to include their pronouns next to their name in their blog posts. I will count this toward your grade when I check for your name each time I grade the blogs.”

Dr. Miller then instructs a student to read an article linked in the same tweet. The URL leads to the web page, “Pronouns Matter.” The site itself lists resources that specifically <a href="https://www.mypronouns.org/inclusivelanguage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">instruct users on how to use activists' preferred pronouns</a>.

Under the, “<a href="https://www.mypronouns.org/what-and-why" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What and Why</a>,” section, the page explicitly describes the failure to use preferred pronouns as harmful and harassing to trans and non-binary persons.

“The act of making an assumption (even if correct) sends a potentially harmful message...it can be offensive or harassing to guess at someone’s pronouns and refer to them using those pronouns if that is not how that person wants to be known.”  

The web page<a href="https://www.mypronouns.org/inclusivelanguage" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> further urges students to use more “inclusive” language by refraining from using terms like, “ladies and gentlemen,” or, “boys and girls.”</a>

According to Dr. Miller's biography, his classes include, “Foundations of Yoga Studies”, “History of Modern Yoga” and, “Hinduism, Jainism, and Yoga.”

The Professor Watchlist team reached out to Dr. Miller for comment, but have not received a reply by publication.

Throughout her “Cultural Construction of Gender,” in her Evolution and the Diversity of Life course. Jones touched on “gender roles, distinctions, socialization, and gender identity.”

She continued:
“Everybody thinks there’s only male and female, but that’s not true,” Jones added. “Sex is very much bimodal and emotionally they’re males and females, but there are a lot of things that can happen in sexual development that can lead to intersex conditions. There are even human hermaphrodites.”

Assistant Professor of Teacher Education <a href="https://www.csulb.edu/teacher-education/page/noah-asher-golden">Noah Golden</a>, California State University &#8211; Long Beach, argued that computer software helps perpetuate “systems of privilege and oppression” against minority children.

California State University - Long Beach

<a href="http://www.cla.csulb.edu/departments/journalism/people/faculty/chris-knap/">Christopher Knap</a>, a Communications Professor at CSULB, assigned a homework assignment which mocked Trump as sexist and homophobic. The assignment involved an employee named "Ronald Plump" that harassed women and used homophobic slurs.

<a href="https://www.csulb.edu/office-of-the-president/president/about">Dr. Jane Close Conoley</a>, is the current President of California State University - Long Beach. In an op-ed from 2014, Conoley stated that if you are “light-skinned” you have “significant unearned privilege.” Moreover, these privileged individuals show distrust and “lower expectations of behavior” of those with another skin color.

*Following coverage by the Professor Watchlist team, Michael Park is no longer listed as an instructor at California State University-Long Beach.*
Michael Park is an instructor at California State University-Long Beach. He used a media law class to disparage Tea Partiers and conservatives as being birthers. In an assignment, he implied that opposition to President Obama is based on a belief that he is not a "true American". This is similar to a class taught by Christopher Knap, a fellow CSULB professor that assigned a homework assignment implying Trump is homophobic/sexist.

<a href="https://cla.csulb.edu/departments/africanastudies/faculty-and-staff/maulana-karenga/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Maulana Karenga</a> is Chair of <a href="https://cla.csulb.edu/departments/africanastudies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Africana Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.csulb.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California State University - Long Beach</a>. Dr. Karenga was a prominent black nationalist during the 1960s and 1970s, during which time he founded the holiday, “Kwanzaa.” Prone to extremity and paranoia, Dr. Karenga was convicted for the imprisonment and torture of two women he falsely suspected of poisoning him.

Born Ronald McKinley Everett, Dr. Karenga founded <a href="http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/45a/767.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kwanzaa as a pan-African holiday</a> in 1966. Despite that most American blacks are descended from West Africa, the name and traditions are based on East African Swahili. He would further <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/12/kwanzaa__a_madeup_holiday_.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">state the holiday’s proximity to Christmas was intentional, as otherwise it wouldn't be noticed</a> by the black community.

People think it’s African. But it’s not. I wanted to give black people a holiday of their own. So I came up with Kwanzaa. I said it was African because you know black people in this country wouldn’t celebrate it if they knew it was American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that’s when a lot of bloods [blacks] would be partying!

Dr. Kerenga intended for Kwanzaa to replace Christian and Jewish holidays. As he wrote in his book—Kawaida Theory—Western faith, “denies and diminishes human worth, capacity, potential and achievement." In Christian and Jewish mythology, humans are born in sin, cursed with mythical ancestors who've sinned and brought the wrath of an angry God on every generation's head.”

Dr. Karenga adopted his current name after embracing black nationalism while living on the West Coast in the 1960s. He would go on to found his own group—titled, <a href="https://www.us-organization.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Organization US</a>—as a more radical alternative to his rivals in the Black Panther Party.

<a href="http://web.stanford.edu/~ccarson/articles/am_left.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Black Panthers</a>—known officially as the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense—was a black-nationalist and Marxist organization that operated largely in California during the 1960s and 1970s. Known for their violent tactics and enforcement of party discipline, members would<a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/whitewashing-the-black-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> pour boiling water over suspected </a>police informants. Co-founder, Huey Newton, is <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.

Dr. Karenga’s organization frequently clashed with the rival, Black Panthers. Following a dispute over who would lead the Afro-American Studies Center at UCLA, <a href="https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/600011/posts?page=7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Organization US members shot two Black Panthers to death on the campus in 1969</a> which set off a series of shootings across Los Angeles that summer. The incident caused Dr. Karenga to fall into paranoia and suspect his own followers of plotting to kill him.

On the evening of May 9th, 1970, Dr. Karenga and several of his followers confronted two women who were staying at his home. He accused both of placing poison “crystals” in his food and water. According to court testimony, the women were then stripped naked, bound, and ordered to confess. Dr. Karenga tortured both women over the next two days, beating each with an electrical cord, and then branded them with a soldering iron.

While awaiting trial, Dr. Karenga’s mental health continued to deteriorate. The court-appointed psychologist found him to be schizophrenic, and reportedly caught Dr. Karenga speaking to hallucinations in his jail cell:

“Since his admission here he has been isolated and has been exhibiting bizarre behavior, such as staring at the wall, talking to imaginary persons, claiming that he was attacked by dive-bombers and that his attorney was in the next cell. During part of the interview he would look around as if reacting to a hallucination and when the examiner walked away for a moment he began a conversation with a blanket located on his bed. This man now presents a picture which can be considered both paranoid and schizophrenic with hallucinations and elusions, inappropriate affect, disorganization, and impaired contact with the environment.” 

The court later sentenced him to one to ten years in jail for two counts of felonious assault, and one count of false imprisonment. However, he was granted parole in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kwanzaa-was-invented-insane-leftist-gangster-who-michael-j-knowles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1975 thanks to a letter-writing campaign by his followers.</a>

While in jail, Karenga converted his ideology from Black Nationalism to explicit Marxism. In 1978, just a few years after his release, Dr. Karenga was hired as the Chair of the African Studies department, where he now resides as of March 2022.

In his blog, <a href="https://www.josephmpierce.com/post/black-lives-matter-and-indigenous-solidarity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black Lives Matter and Indigenous Solidarity</a>, Pierce identifies himself as a “citizen of the Cherokee Nation” and discusses the history of Native and Black Americans in the 18th and 19th centuries. He claims,
“In 1866, CherokeeNation signed a treaty with the US government that granted the Black people it had enslaved ‘all the rights of native Cherokees.’ These people became known as Freedmen. Since then, the Cherokee Nation has consistently sought to refuse or limit the rights of Freedmen and their ancestors.”
He further declares,
“White supremacy is not a theory. It names the material realities that have emerged as the compounding effects of colonization, genocide, and slavery. White supremacy is both a built environment and an epistemological project that has imbued every aspect of Western culture in the Americas, Africa, Asia, and elsewhere, as the expansion of Europe’s colonial tentacles reached across the globe beginning in the 15th Century.”

<a href="https://socialwelfare.stonybrookmedicine.edu/faculty-staff/hayward" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anna Hayward, Ph.D.</a>, is an Associate Professor in the School of Social Welfare at Stony Brook University. Her research interests and publications include “children and families affected by incarceration, environmental justice and global environmental health.” 

Between 2011-2015, the Department of Health &amp; Human Services awarded Hayward $2.87 million in grant funds through a project known as the Suffolk County Fatherhood Initiative: Implementations &amp; Impact Evaluation. The <a href="https://www.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/documents/ofa/Retreat_Inc_Descriptive_Report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2020 Final Descriptive Evaluation</a> says the program “provides responsible fatherhood, healthy relationships, and economic stability services for low-income fathers residing in Suffolk and Nassau counties in Long Island, New York.”

Hayward made national headlines on January 3, 2023, when she branded Suffolk County police officers “murderers.” Her comments were in response to Stony Book Medical's announcement that two officers were in critical condition after sustaining stab wounds. The <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/01/02/stony-brook-prof-anna-hayward-blames-stabbed-cops-for-murder-of-their-attacker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> said the officers “had responded to a call that the suspect was threatening his roommate with a fire extinguisher…when one of the men turned a knife on the officers.”

Hayward’s initial post and Twitter account have since been deleted.

“‘While a Suffolk County Police Officer fights for his life after being stabbed in the neck an anti-police professor slanderously referred to him and his partner as murderers.”

He continued

“Stony Brook University Professor Dr. Anna Hayward displayed a stunning level of ignorance when she callously commented on Stony Brook’s official page denouncing the police and condemning the actions of these hero cops who stopped an armed criminal and saved others from harm.”

Her areas of interest include popular culture, young adult literature, feminist theory, and women&#8217;s studies.

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

<a href="https://www.luc.edu/quinlan/faculty/jennadrenten.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Jenna Drenten</a> is an Associate Professor of Marketing at Loyola University Chicago. According to her university profile, her research “explores digital consumer culture: how digital technologies and social media platforms … present new opportunities for consumers to express their identities and navigate life transitions.”
Drenten wrote an article <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/clean-pantries-are-racist-and-sexist-loyola-marketing-scholar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criticizing a social media trend</a> where users post videos of different ways to stock and organize pantries. She says she’s noticed “an uptick in glamorized, stylized and fully stocked pantries on TikTok and Instagram, giving rise to a content genre I dub ‘pantry porn.’”
Drenten believes the <a href="https://theconversation.com/pantry-porn-on-tiktok-and-instagram-makes-obsessively-organized-kitchens-a-new-status-symbol-197517" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pantry is a “modern-day status symbol,”</a> writing:
“Cleanliness has historically been used as a cultural gatekeeping mechanism to reinforce status distinctions based on a vague understanding of ‘niceness’: nice people, with nice yards, in nice houses, make for nice neighborhoods.” 
However, she continues:
“What lies beneath the surface of this anti-messiness, pro-niceness stance is a history of classist, racist and sexist social structures. In my research, influencers who produce pantry porn are predominantly white women who demonstrate what it looks like to maintain a ‘nice’ home by creating a new status symbol: the perfectly organized, fully stocked pantry.” 
Drenten continues by noting the work of restocking the pantry falls to women who may have to “work overtime” to achieve the perfectly organized pantry. She concludes by saying:
“Pantry porn, as a status symbol, relies on the promise of making daily domestic work easier. But if women are largely responsible for the work required to maintain the perfectly organized pantry, it’s critical to ask: easier for whom?”

<a href="http://gilian.tenbergen.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Gilian Tenbergen</a> is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the State University of New York (SUNY) &#8211; Oswego. She further directs the Sexual Neuroendocrinology (SENEU) Lab and serves on the <a href="https://prostasia.org/our-team/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advisory Council of the Prostasia Foundation</a>. Through both organizations, Dr. Tenbergen provides support and resources to what she refers to as Minor Attracted Persons (MAP). 
The term, “MAP,” is considered to be less stigmatizing as Dr. Tenbergen believes that pedophiles face too much stigmatization, and seeks to differentiate between pedophiles who act on their impulses and those who do not. She believes this distinction can be used to prevent the sexual exploitation of children if a pedophile is not stigmatized. 
In an article for Protasia, she details her approach to <a href="https://prostasia.org/blog/how-maps-can-obtain-help-not-to-offend/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">treating pedophiles so they may lead “law-abiding, offense-free, fulfilling lives.&#8221;</a> Dr. Tenbergen writes the common belief that “all pedophiles/MAPs will eventually offend” is not true, but ensures her readers that many “MAPs” are dedicated to preventing sexual abuse. She cites a number of organizations, including the Virtuous Pedophiles, the Prevention Project, and Troubled Desire, as evidence that not all pedophiles offend.  
In the same article, Dr. Tenbergen appears to blame the scrutiny of pedophilia for driving people to commit child sexual abuse (CSA) and consume child sexual exploitation material (CSEM). She writes that many are victims of society’s stigma, which prevents them from seeking help before they offend.  
“But for those in the middle, who may be just looking for information about pedophilia/minor attraction, or who may be actually considering engaging in CSA/CSEM use, we pretend they don’t exist. We actually go so far as a society as to prevent them from seeking help, from obtaining information, from living good lives. What should we do in this circumstance? How can we together improve CSA/CSEM prevention and protect children?”
Not only does Dr. Tenbergen write for Prostasia, the foundation actively funds her research/

<a href="https://prostasia.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The organization bills itself</a> as a “new kind of child protection organization” that focuses on preventing sexual abuse and exploitation. Like Dr. Tenbergen, the foundation aims to end the “harm” against pedophiles by what it describes as the “predominantly reactive child protection agenda.” 
Prostasia advocates introducing young children to graphic sexual education in school. In a post titled, “<a href="https://prostasia.org/blog/3-simple-steps-that-can-reduce-csa/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3 Simple Steps That Can Reduce CSA</a>,” author Meagan Ingerman advocates for teaching pre-pubescent children “sex positivity.” This includes sexual pleasure, consent, kinks, and fetishes. She later writes this would include teaching children chronophilias, or the attraction to a person in a separate age range, as part of a “comprehensive, intersectional sex education.” 
The organization further hosts articles advocating <a href="https://prostasia.org/blog/how-the-registry-harms-families/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">against sex offender registry laws</a> and detailing how to avoid detection by law enforcement when engaging in “<a href="https://prostasia.org/blog/online-ageplay-safety-tips/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ageplay</a>.”
Prostasia has opposed Florida’s anti-grooming legislation, which <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/florida-passes-anti-groomer-law-banning-gender-identity-indoctrination-in-schools" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prevents gender and sexual education from Kindergarten to the 3rd grade</a>.

Published &#8211; November 7, 2022

<a href="http://gilian.tenbergen.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Gilian Tenbergen</a> is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the State University of New York (SUNY) - Oswego. She further directs the Sexual Neuroendocrinology (SENEU) Lab and serves on the <a href="https://prostasia.org/our-team/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advisory Council of the Prostasia Foundation</a>. Through both organizations, Dr. Tenbergen provides support and resources to what she refers to as Minor Attracted Persons (MAP). 

The term, “MAP,” is considered to be less stigmatizing as Dr. Tenbergen believes that pedophiles face too much stigmatization, and seeks to differentiate between pedophiles who act on their impulses and those who do not. She believes this distinction can be used to prevent the sexual exploitation of children if a pedophile is not stigmatized. 

In an article for Protasia, she details her approach to <a href="https://prostasia.org/blog/how-maps-can-obtain-help-not-to-offend/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">treating pedophiles so they may lead “law-abiding, offense-free, fulfilling lives."</a> Dr. Tenbergen writes the common belief that “all pedophiles/MAPs will eventually offend” is not true, but ensures her readers that many “MAPs” are dedicated to preventing sexual abuse. She cites a number of organizations, including the Virtuous Pedophiles, the Prevention Project, and Troubled Desire, as evidence that not all pedophiles offend.  

In the same article, Dr. Tenbergen appears to blame the scrutiny of pedophilia for driving people to commit child sexual abuse (CSA) and consume child sexual exploitation material (CSEM). She writes that many are victims of society’s stigma, which prevents them from seeking help before they offend.  
“But for those in the middle, who may be just looking for information about pedophilia/minor attraction, or who may be actually considering engaging in CSA/CSEM use, we pretend they don’t exist. We actually go so far as a society as to prevent them from seeking help, from obtaining information, from living good lives. What should we do in this circumstance? How can we together improve CSA/CSEM prevention and protect children?”
Not only does Dr. Tenbergen write for Prostasia, the foundation actively funds her research/

<a href="https://prostasia.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The organization bills itself</a> as a “new kind of child protection organization” that focuses on preventing sexual abuse and exploitation. Like Dr. Tenbergen, the foundation aims to end the “harm” against pedophiles by what it describes as the “predominantly reactive child protection agenda.” 

Prostasia advocates introducing young children to graphic sexual education in school. In a post titled, “<a href="https://prostasia.org/blog/3-simple-steps-that-can-reduce-csa/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3 Simple Steps That Can Reduce CSA</a>,” author Meagan Ingerman advocates for teaching pre-pubescent children “sex positivity.” This includes sexual pleasure, consent, kinks, and fetishes. She later writes this would include teaching children chronophilias, or the attraction to a person in a separate age range, as part of a “comprehensive, intersectional sex education.” 

The organization further hosts articles advocating <a href="https://prostasia.org/blog/how-the-registry-harms-families/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">against sex offender registry laws</a> and detailing how to avoid detection by law enforcement when engaging in “<a href="https://prostasia.org/blog/online-ageplay-safety-tips/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ageplay</a>.”

Prostasia has opposed Florida’s anti-grooming legislation, which <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/florida-passes-anti-groomer-law-banning-gender-identity-indoctrination-in-schools" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prevents gender and sexual education from Kindergarten to the 3rd grade</a>. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Supporters of Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill are misrepresenting comprehensive sex education as grooming. If we care about preventing child sexual abuse, these kinds of smears MUST STOP. <a href="https://t.co/aiFvKAJQqZ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/aiFvKAJQqZ</a>
