<a href="https://liberalarts.tamu.edu/anthropology/profile/cynthia-werner/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cynthia Werner</a> is a Professor of Anthropology and an Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs in the College of Arts and Sciences at Texas A&amp;M University. According to Werner’s university profile, her research has “shifted to projects that look at diversity, equity, and inclusion issues affecting faculty in higher education.” She is also part of a collaborative research team that looks at “fairness and bias in promotion and tenure review cases.” 
According to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=20506">Campus Reform</a>, Werner and a few other educators recently published an article, titled: “<a href="https://www.chronicle.com/article/promotion-rejected-your-record-may-not-be-the-problem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Promotion Rejected? Your Record May Not Be the Problem</a>.” The article was published by the <a href="https://www.chronicle.com/article/promotion-rejected-your-record-may-not-be-the-problem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chronicle of Higher Education</a>, also known as “The Chronicle.” In this publication, Werner and other educators elaborate on a study of fairness and bias in tenure and promotion which “suggests that some candidates are spurned for reasons beyond their control.” The study, “<a href="https://uh.edu/class/psychology/promotionandtenurestudy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fairness and Bias in Promotion and Tenure</a>,” is being conducted through the University of Houston with multiple educators and faculty members, including Werner. The website’s mission statement is to “Determine structural barriers around promotion and tenure limiting the advancement of minority faculty and ultimately the inclusion of all demographic groups in Science.”

<a href="https://liberalarts.tamu.edu/anthropology/profile/filipe-vieira-de-castro/">Filipe Vieira de Castro</a> is the Frederic R. Mayer Fellow II of Nautical Archaeology, an Anthropology professor, and the Director of the Ship Reconstruction Laboratory at Texas A&amp;M University. Castro is virulently anti-Israel, has expressed anti-Christian sentiments numerous times, slandered prominent conservatives, and confronted Turning Point USA students on campus.

As confirmed by a member of the TPUSA chapter at Texas A&amp;M, Castro approached and immediately began arguing with them while they were tabling at the Memorial Student Center (MSC). Posting about the event later, he stated that TPUSA students should have no place at a university and even joked in a reply to a comment that they should be sent to the gulag for “re-education.”

Castro, among other protestors at Texas A&amp;M University, advocated for the removal of a statue of Sullivan Ross, a Confederate General and former President of the university. When <a href="http://www.thebatt.com/news/protesters-voice-their-opinions-for-and-against-the-sul-ross-statue/article_6b24ced2-ade4-11ea-a872-875170880ccd.html">interviewed</a>, he stated that the statue represented “racism” and “exclusion.”

“Why do we want a statue that stands for racism and exclusion and hatred? Statues are just artifacts, they are not history...History is in the library. If you really want to know the history of the Confederacy, go to the library.” 

While protesting to take down certain statues, he is also an advocate for erecting one of convicted terrorist Susan Rosenberg.

“With ups and downs, she has dedicated her life to fighting injustice. She deserves a statue.” 

As a self-described “rabid anti-Zionist,” Castro is a fierce opponent of the state of Israel. He regularly launches into antisemitic tirades on his personal social media account.

“Yes Israel is the world's largest open air lunatic asylum in the world and the raving lunatics happen to belong to the most educated (and thus resourceful) community in the world....they can, and probably will, kill us all.”

“But this is a genocidal war. Israel is fighting a genocidal war against Palestinians.”

“The Likud has been the Israeli Tea Party...It just takes the right guy...to energize it and channel it towards some easy target. That’s what Hitler did.”

His most incendiary rant was reserved for July 8th. Describing Jews as “savages” and “animals,” Castro compared the modern state of Israel to apartheid-era South Africa before castigating Jews for being insufficiently aware of their persecution in the Holocaust.

“Sadistic motherf******. Racist, savage creeps. The same hatred as in South Africa in the 1980s. Animals. And if it can be more shocking, these creeps should know how it feels to be dehumanized, insulted, beaten, assassinated for religious reasons. They ought to ask their grandparents how it felt to be persecuted.”

Castro’s ire is not only reserved for Jews. According to him, “superstitious” Christians only support Israel out of a subliminal admiration for Adolf Hitler;

“But the majority of Zionists are Evangelical Christians that want all the Jews to go to Israel so that God can bring about Armageddon or, in other words, end Hitler’s work. And their racism is stupid and violent and superstitious.”  

Castro regularly berates Christians, Jews, and other religions online.

“Certain forms of idiocy must be criminalized. America needs to go medieval on hate crimes. Police brutality on African Americans, crimes of antisemitism, Islamophobe, homophobia….Start with the instigators: pastors, imams, rabbis, nazi pundits, etc.”  

“I am always amazed with the hatred with which American Christians hate the world. They are always threatening a country (now it is Iran) or planning to invade a region, and blaming the victims for trying to defend themselves.” 

“Sure, Make the last rabbi eat the last priest and then hang him with the last entrails of the last imam. We would all prefer if there were no mosques, no churches, no synagogues, just libraries, and museums.” 

In one post, he commented that Christians should be allowed to die from COVID as the cost of attending services.

“They all want to go to church next Sunday, eat their god, or whatever they do. I think that they should be allowed to go, but before they should sign a paper and give up the write to a ventilator.”  

Prior to this, Castro seemingly celebrated that Liberty University students would potentially die from COVID:

“Christians thinning the herd :)”

Castro has gloated over prominent conservatives like Herman Cain and Louie Gohmert contracting and dying from COVID:

“And it is true: Covid kills the poor. It also kills some stupid, like Herman Cain, but it mostly kills the poor.” 

In other posts, he celebrated Rush Limbaugh’s cancer diagnosis, called Jordan Peterson a fascist, and claimed that Tucker Carlson is the “voice” of the Ku Klux Klan.   He wrote, “Is it horrible that I actually felt happy to learn that Rush Limbaugh is dying...I just have a nice warm feeling in my heart...?”

“Jordan Peterson doesn’t have the balls to come out as the misogynist fascist that he really is.” 

“So now, without his top writer cretin Tucker, something is not going to be the voice of the KKK anymore? Good to know.” 

He has also repeatedly attacked police officers, describing units as being “full of klansmen.”

Castro has recently received <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2020/08/19/texas-a-m-prof-filipe-castro-calls-trump-fat-klansman-hopes-he-gets-coronavirus/">widespread attention</a> for these and other incendiary remarks from various news outlets.

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

<a href="https://www.ohsu.edu/providers/blair-peters-md" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Blair Peters</a> is an Assistant Professor of Surgery in the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Oregon Health &amp; Science University School of Medicine.
Dr. Peters — who states his pronouns as he/they — advocates for gender-affirming care in medicine. He was one of the first two fellows in gender-affirming surgery at the Oregon Health &amp; Science University (OHSU) and is supportive of increased emphasis on LGBTQ and transgender care in the medical community.
In an April 2022 tweet, Dr. Peters announced that he had <a href="https://twitter.com/queersurgeon/status/1511866232802189312?s=11&amp;t=rtPkuHLvqcV2XMWHog1VrQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">performed mastectomies on 3 young adults and adolescents</a>. A gender-affirming mastectomy (also known as top surgery) is when a female’s breasts are removed to create a masculine-appearing chest.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I performed gender affirming mastectomies (top surgeries) for 3 young adults and adolescents today.
All had supportive parents present. You could see the family relief the second we wheeled back to the OR.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Dr. Peters opposes any restrictions on top surgeries performed on teenagers suffering from gender dysphoria. In a video posted on his <a href="https://www.instagram.com/queersurgeon/">personal Instagram account</a>, Dr. Peters criticizes bills that prohibit doctors from performing elective mastectomies on children under 18.

Dr. Peters advocates for more LGBTQ representation in the academic community. In a talk with Tulane University’s Master’s of Science in Bioethics and Humanities program, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLPf5BpqjII" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he describes the current state of representation in academia as tokenism.</a> His lecture defines tokenism as diversity without meaningful inclusion. He believes that LGBTQ individuals feel that they must assimilate to succeed and that there’s a dominant narrative of heterosexuality and a gender binary throughout medical school. He believes that true inclusion doesn’t just increase the number of LGBTQ individuals but changes the overall culture of the organization.

&nbsp;
In the same lecture, Dr. Peters discusses states’ attempts to pass legislation he views as “anti-trans”. He calls for people in the medical community to speak out against these bills and alleges that if some of these bills are passed, transgender people will die.
The bills that Dr. Peters refers to focus on banning biological boys from girls&#8217; sports and restricting or banning transition surgeries and hormones for minors.

In another part of the OHSU interview, Dr. Peters <a href="https://scholararchive.ohsu.edu/concern/etds/6w924c46s?locale=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states that queer people in the medical community aren’t always safe to speak up when they want to and have been oppressed by the “medical patriarchy”.</a> He goes on to say that he’s had to accept and acknowledge how much privilege he holds as a white person who is cisgender passing.

According to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rImtkTImpXQ">Forbes Breaking News</a>, Peters was the subject of a discussion during a July congressional hearing:
&#8220;[T]he [U.S.] House Energy Committee [held a] hearing last week, [wherein] Rep. Kat Cammack …showed a video on gender surgery for minors.&#8221; (see video below). 
<iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rImtkTImpXQ" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The video featured Dr. Peters, who discussed his work in genital surgery in detail. He mentioned several types of surgeries he performs, among which are facial and chest surgeries and vaginoplasties. These surgeries have been performed on people in their 70s along with adolescents. Peters addressed the issues and “unique challenges” of working on adolescents. He said that tissue from certain parts of skin is used to create an artificial vulva and interior vaginal canal for the person under surgery. 
“We’re kind of learning and figuring out what works…but it&#8217;s really changing things because you don&#8217;t’ have enough tissue to line the vaginal canal so you either have to take a skin graft or take skin from elsewhere or use some artificial project.” 
Peters also stated that robots were utilized to help perform the “intra-abdominal components” of the surgeries.

Daniel F. Liefwalker is a<a href="https://ohsu.pure.elsevier.com/en/persons/daniel-liefwalker" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> research assistant professor</a> at Oregon Health &amp; Science University. His areas of interest include molecular and medical genetics. He has penned a few publications related to DNA and genetic coding.

When he isn’t teaching or in the lab researching genetics, he can be found rioting with ANTIFA. In August of 2020, Liefwalker was <a href="https://rosterhome.blogspot.com/2020/08/daniel-leafwalker-arrested-in-multnomah.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested around 3am</a> for trespassing in Portland, which is a class C misdemeanor. He was arrested alongside 23 other ANTIFA rioters. The “protest” turned violent when a man was spotted trying to light the city hall building on fire, and other ANTIFA rioters were throwing items at police officers. He was released on his own recognizance, and additional information regarding the court case is not currently available.

As reported by <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/dhs-leaked-email-confirms-that-antifa-is-an-organized-group" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Post-Millennial</a>, 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/"> members of ANTIFA attacked Senator Rand Paul</a> and his wife as they walked through Washington D.C.

<a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/07/30/24-people-killed-george-floyd-riots-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to The Daily Caller</a>, at least 24 people died during ANTIFA riots in the two-month span after George Floyd’s death. Countless others were injured during these riots as well.

The arrest in August 2020 was not Liefwalker’s first run-in with the law, however. According to <a href="https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1297744227384737792" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American conservative journalist Andy Ngo</a>, Liefwalker was arrested in 2008 at Oregon State University for “drunken, belligerent, and aggressive behavior.”

Oregon Health &amp; Science University has remained silent in regards to Liefwalker’s ANTIFA-related arrest. As of Fall 2021, he is still teaching at the university.

<a href="https://www.ohsu.edu/providers/blair-peters-md" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Blair Peters</a> is an Assistant Professor of Surgery in the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Oregon Health &amp; Science University School of Medicine.

Dr. Peters — who states his pronouns as he/they — advocates for gender-affirming care in medicine. He was one of the first two fellows in gender-affirming surgery at the Oregon Health &amp; Science University (OHSU) and is supportive of increased emphasis on LGBTQ and transgender care in the medical community.

In an April 2022 tweet, Dr. Peters announced that he had <a href="https://twitter.com/queersurgeon/status/1511866232802189312?s=11&amp;t=rtPkuHLvqcV2XMWHog1VrQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">performed mastectomies on 3 young adults and adolescents</a>. A gender-affirming mastectomy (also known as top surgery) is when a female’s breasts are removed to create a masculine-appearing chest.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I performed gender affirming mastectomies (top surgeries) for 3 young adults and adolescents today.
All had supportive parents present. You could see the family relief the second we wheeled back to the OR.

I could sense the shift.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Dr. Peters opposes any restrictions on top surgeries performed on teenagers suffering from gender dysphoria. In a video posted on his <a href="https://www.instagram.com/queersurgeon/">personal Instagram account</a>, Dr. Peters criticizes bills that prohibit doctors from performing elective mastectomies on children under 18.

Arizona State University Professor David Boyles—who <a href="https://angelictroublemakers.substack.com/p/queer-joy-summer-planting-3-promote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>, “Sex education is a topic I’ve been obsessed with for a while”—appeared to physically assault a Turning Point USA Frontlines cameraman.  

TPUSA’s Frontlines team confronted Boyles after <a href="https://azfreenews.com/2023/09/meet-the-asu-professor-behind-arizonas-drag-queen-story-hour/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">learning</a> that he founded the Arizona chapter of Drag Queen Story Hour. Boyles refused to respond to the Frontlines reporter who asked how long he’d had the obsession with sex education and why he felt children should be exposed to drag queens.

The video of Boyles assaulting the cameraman can be viewed below:

“Boyles established Drag Queen Story Hour-Arizona in 2019, a chapter of the national Drag Queen Story Hour organization…Boyles has been featured in several ‘The Art of Drag’ events alongside one of his drag queen storytellers…The most recent event occurred on Wednesday [September 20, 2023].  During the <a href="https://youtu.be/RN0Bou3wmxk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presentation</a>, Boyles said that the notion that drag shows are harmful to children was a ‘myth.’ He also said that drag queens have been long considered the leaders of LGBTQ+ communities.”

During “<a href="https://youtu.be/RN0Bou3wmxk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Art of Drag</a>” talk, Boyles claimed Drag Queen Story Hour-Arizona has been “targeted by acts of violence” and “neo-Nazis showing up to disrupt events.” He also presented what he believed to be the beginning of drag culture in America using the newspaper clip featured below:

“Sex education is a topic I’ve been obsessed with for a while…In 2021, I did a three-part ‘<a href="https://angelictroublemakers.substack.com/p/queering-sex-ed-part-i" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queering Sex Ed</a>’ series on the history of sex education in America and the ways in which it has traditionally erased queer people, as well as the ways in which queer people have resisted this erasure and cared for their communities by creating their own sex ed underground.”

In the “Queer Sex Ed” blog, Boyles also wrote that sex education has been traditionally racist since “black people and immigrants were typically viewed as being sexually promiscuous and aggressive and sex education was designed to keep good white kids from being ‘infected’ by them.”

<a href="https://cronkite.asu.edu/about/faculty-and-leadership/faculty/gilgerbio">Kristin Gilger</a> is the Reynolds Professor of Business Journalism and the interim dean at the Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University (ASU). She is the author of the book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Theres-No-Crying-Newsrooms-Learned/dp/1538121492">“There’s No Crying in Newsrooms”</a> and has served in various roles at ASU since 2002.

Gilger has been mired in controversy since assuming her role as dean this past summer. The previous candidate, Sonya Forte Duhe, was replaced by Gilger after <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/after-tweet-supporting-good-police-officers-arizona-state-revokes-journalism-dean-offer/">her offer was rescinded by the university</a>. After tweeting an image that was considered too positive towards police officers, Duhe was condemned by university faculty for showing “poor judgment.”

Gilger has come under fire after pressuring Rae’Lee Klein, a senior journalism major, and station manager for ASU’s Blaze radio, to resign from her position after <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/28/this-is-why-jacob-blake-had-a-warrant-out-for-his-arrest/?preview_id=16209831">tweeting and soon deleting a New York Post article</a> detailing the warrant issued for Jacob Blake’s arrest;

“Always more to the story, folks. Please read this article to get to the background of Jacob Blake’s warrant. You’ll be quite disgusted“ 

Blake—who was wanted for sexually assaulting his ex-girlfriend—was shot in the back by police after resisting arrest and allegedly reaching for a knife on the floor of his car.

Facing immediate backlash for her tweet, the Board of Directors at the station <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/09/18/arizona-student-journalist-cancelled-over-jacob-blake-tweet/">voted unanimously to remove her from her position</a>. Later releasing a statement, the board announced that “Blaze Radio firmly believes that Black Lives Matter.”

“The board gave Klein an opportunity to step down under her own will. As of the time of this statement, Klein has not made the decision to resign…In light of this, we do not recognize Rae'Lee Klein as the station manager of Blaze Radio.”  

Gilger has claimed that the University is not moving to remove Klein. In a statement to the New York Post, Gilger stated that Klein is not being targeted by the university for her views.

“Any actions that are unfolding are not punishment for a tweet. I have been clear with Rae’Lee that she would not be removed as station manager of Blaze Radio, a student internet radio station, because of the views she expressed,”  

However, in email exchanges between Klein and Gilger, she did in fact act to pressure Klein to resign, contrary to her statement.

In their exchange (pictured below) Gilger clearly states that Klein remaining in her position, “is not an option,” as she had lost the confidence of the board.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-909" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.18.44-PM.png" alt="" width="500" height="366" />

&nbsp;

Although suggesting new roles that Klein may assume, Gilger cites the "Media Guidelines for Student Journalists" to warn her to refrain in the future from posting information “that could call into question your ability to act independently as a journalist.” This seems to contradict Gilger’s claim that Klein was not being targeted by the university for her views.

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-910" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.24.32-PM.png" alt="" width="317" height="500" /><img class="aligncenter wp-image-911 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-4.51.32-PM-1-e1601512111513.png" alt="" width="339" height="642" /><img class="aligncenter wp-image-912 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.27.15-PM.png" alt="" width="342" height="540" />

&nbsp;

At this time, Klein has refused to step down from her role, and officially remains the station’s manager.

Update: In February of 2021, Klein announced that she <a href="https://www.westernjournal.com/college-pays-settlement-conservative-student-ousted-manager-role/">has reached a settlement with Gilger</a> over a lawsuit she had filed against ASU several months prior.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
UPDATE: I am happy to announce we've reached a resolution with Arizona State University for events that took place in September. With the support of my attorney, Jack Wilenchik, and countless other individuals, I am proud to have stood up, fought back and eventually, won.

<a href="https://cisa.asu.edu/node/7955" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Asao Inoue</a> is a professor and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, Equity and Inclusion in the College of Integrative Science and Arts at Arizona State University. According to his University biography, Inoue’s <a href="https://cisa.asu.edu/node/7955" target="_blank" rel="noopener">research</a> focuses on “antiracist and social justice theory and practices in writing assessments.”

Prior to his role at Arizona State, Inoue served as the Director of the Writing Center at the University of Washington-Tacoma. As Daily Caller <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/02/20/college-writing-center-declares-american-grammar-a-racist-unjust-language-structure/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documents</a>, Inoue <a href="\&quot;https://stjenglish.com/standing-against-racism-in-the-field-of-writing-dr-asao-inoue-uw-tacoma/\&quot;" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commissioned</a> an anti-racist poster in an effort to ensure that his staff did not “embrace racist practices.” Inoue maintains that racism is embedded in the English language as well as in society itself, writing that “racism is the normal condition of things.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1502 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-08-10T135650.565-e1628629052457-1024x391.png" alt="" width="580" height="221" />

According to the text of the poster, recorded by The College Fix, Inoue writes that his goal is to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/university-writing-center-combats-racist-unjust-language-structures/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">help students become more critical of “unjust language structures”</a> in order to succeed in what Inoue claims is a racist society.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1501 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-08-10T135356.265-e1628628890970-1024x296.png" alt="" width="580" height="168" />

Inoue would later author a book on his beliefs titled, “Labor-Based Grading Contracts: Building Equity and Inclusion in the Compassionate Writing Classroom.” In an excerpt from the book, Inoue declares that he focuses on grading students for their efforts, and not the “quality” of their writing.

“This book focuses on one kind of grading contract, one that calculates final course grades purely by the labor students complete, not by any judgments of the quality of their writing.”

As Daily Wire reports, Inoue writes that his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/arizona-state-dean-grading-writing-based-on-quality-is-racist-promotes-white-language-supremacy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beliefs and teaching practices are based on “critical-race theory,” or “labor-based theory.”</a>As Breitbart documents, c<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ritical race theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism</a> that views America and all of its institutions as being infected with white supremacy.

He writes further that grading students only perpetuates white supremacy.

“The traditional purposes and methods used for grading writing turn out to be de facto racist and White supremacist….Grading by a standard, thus, is how White language supremacy is perpetuated in schools”

Inoue also draws an analogy between issuing grades for English and the institution of slavery, stating that grading is a “slave-making mechanism.”

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1504 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-08-10T140031.897-e1628629269866-1024x317.png" alt="" width="580" height="180" />

Inoue believes that even the physical proximity of white people causes racism. In a YouTube video of Inoue speaking before the 2019 Convention of the National Council of Teachers of English, Inoue <a href="https://youtu.be/brPGTewcDYY?t=994" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states that even the presence of white people “perpetuates racism.</a>”

&nbsp;

Inoue delivered this speech while <a href="https://cccc.ncte.org/cccc/about/chairs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">serving as the Conference Chair of the Conference on College Composition and Communication</a>, which bills itself as the <a href="https://cccc.ncte.org/cccc/about/chairs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">largest professional organization for researching and teaching writing composition</a>. It is the annual conference of the National Council of Teachers of English, which <a href="https://ncte.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boasts over 25,000 English and Language Arts teachers as members all over the country</a>.

<a href="https://isearch.asu.edu/profile/597528" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lorraine Moya Salas</a> is an Instructor in the <a href="https://socialwork.asu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">School of Social Work</a> at <a href="https://campus.asu.edu/dohttps://campus.asu.edu/downtown-phoenixwntown-phoenix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arizona State University - Downtown Phoenix</a>.

During a lecture in one of her courses—titled, “Foundations of Social Work”—Dr. Lorraine can be heard describing the United States as a “white supremacist system,” that was founded for the benefit of white people at the expense of Native Americans and people of color.

In the class—recorded and provided exclusively to the Professor Watchlist team by an anonymous source—Dr. Salas urges her students to confront the “implicit biases” present in themselves and American society. Claiming that stereotypes and prejudices construct implicit bias, she warns that unconscious actions can cause serious harm.

Attempting to provide an example to bolster her claim, Dr. Salas states that implicit bias causes doctors to act as if their black patients are slaves. She proceeds to cite a study that claims doctors give less pain medication to black patients as compared to white ones.

Dr. Salas alleges this is the product of the legacy of slavery; slave owners viewed blacks as subhuman and able to withstand a large amount of pain, so therefore doctors continue to believe that blacks can withstand a large amount of pain. Doctors will therefore prescribe black patients less pain medication.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Lorraine-Moya-Salas-Part-1_updated.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Dr. Salas additionally cites a study that claims teachers will call on boys more often than girls in their classrooms. She claims this as proof that teachers think boys answer questions correctly more often than girls.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Lorraine-Moya-Salas-Part-1_2.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Throughout the lecture, Dr. Salas alleges that numerous racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in society are a result of implicit bias. She urges her students, as future social workers, to confront their own implicit biases and assigns an “implicit bias test” for them to complete before the next class.

Dr. Salas additionally claims that institutional racism produces inequality and disparities, attributing it to the legacy of slavery in the Americas. Although acknowledging that all cultures practiced slavery, she claims that no slave trade was enforced along racial lines until the Europeans did so in order to specifically oppress people of color.

Citing slavery, the genocide of Native Americans and discriminatory, Jim Crow laws, Dr. Salas claims that  America was constructed as a “white supremacist culture” for the sole benefit of white people who have maintained their “white power structures” ever since.

&nbsp;

In the accompanying slides, Dr. Salas cites Critical Race Theory to define white supremacy as a, “political or socio-economic system where white people enjoy structural advantage and rights that other racial and ethnic groups do not, both at a collective and an individual level”.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1692 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/3b-SelfAwarenessAndRaceEthnitiy-student-copy.pptx-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="326" />

&nbsp;

As <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro writes in Breitbart News</a>, Critical Race Theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism that views America and all of its institutions as being infected with white supremacy—to the point of some, including <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claiming</a> America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England.

Dr. Salas had previously published a paper on critical theory, titled, “Critical Theory: Pathway from Dichotomous to Integrated Social Work Practice.” In it, she urges social <a href="https://socialwork.rutgers.edu/file/4791/download" target="_blank" rel="noopener">workers to embrace critical theory in order to accomplish social justice</a> “at all levels of practice.”

Dr. Salas further states that while people of color can hold prejudiced views, they cannot be racist as they have no institutional power in a system that values whiteness. She urges white students in the class to be “allies” in order to help minorities access the resources available to them by way of “white privilege.”

The full audio of the lecture is provided below.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Salas prior for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

In 2019, Cooper founded the “<a href="https://katelyncooper1.wixsite.com/bioedlab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cooper Biology Education Research Lab</a>” because she, as a gay woman, was “worried about biology research not being inclusive enough of “LGBTQ+ people,” according to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/inclusive-lab-for-lgbt-students-created-by-arizona-state-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">College Fix. </a>

Cooper is “upset that heterosexual white [men] dominate the biological sciences.” She told <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/nbc-out-proud/professor-making-biology-education-inclusive-lgbtq-undergrads-rcna28813" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a> that “The goal isn’t just to make classrooms more inclusive, she explained, but to bring more diversity to a field that has traditionally been dominated by straight white men.” 

Cooper also told NBC News her hopes for collegiate science education: “Cooper said science educators can make their classrooms more inclusive by being openly supportive of LGBTQ students.” According to Cooper, “Educators can, for example, put an inclusivity statement on their syllabus or website, foster safe environments for students to reveal their LGBTQ identities and familiarize themselves with on-campus LGBTQ resources in case students come to them for support.”

<a href="http://www.breannefahs.com/">Breanne Fahs</a>, Professor of Women and Gender Studies at Arizona State University, believes women have been, more or less, brainwashed by "the patriarchy" and "sexism" to ignore the "liberatory, political, and social implications of fatness."

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/291312" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rashad Shabazz</a> is an Associate Professor of African American Studies in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University (ASU). Shabazz’s university profile says his “academic expertise brings together human geography, black cultural studies, gender studies, and critical prison studies.” He also holds a Ph.D. in History of Consciousness from the University of California-Santa Cruz.

Shabazz teaches several race-based courses including “<a href="https://webapp4.asu.edu/bookstore/viewsyllabus/2227/88026">AFR301:</a> Race and Racism in the Black Diaspora.” The course description says, 

“Through slave rebellion in Haiti, black notions of freedom, black ideas of ‘being,’ and what on thinker calls ‘black reason,’ this class aims to show that race and racism is more than a tapestry of dominion, but…a reservoir of revolutionary ideas that…transform the world.”

In response to the killing of Tyre Nichols - a black man who was arrested and beaten and later died in the custody of black police officers - Shabazz <a href="https://theconversation.com/black-police-officers-arent-colorblind-theyre-infected-by-the-same-anti-black-bias-as-american-society-and-police-in-general-198721" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an article</a> in The Conversation entitled, “Black police officers aren’t colorblind–they’re infected by the same anti-black bias as American society and police in general.”

In the article, Shabazz argued, “Policing in the U.S. has, from its inception, treated Black people as domestic enemies. From slave patrols…to the murder of George Floyd, and now the death of Nichols, law enforcement officers often have viewed black people as what…W.E.B. Du Bois called a ‘problem.’”

He continued, “It’s hard to investigate the minds of the officers who beat Nichols so savagely and say for sure what motivated them. But there is ample research that suggests anti-blackness is a factor in American policing. And black officers, agents of an institutionally racist system, are affected by this.”

The article goes on to say that McCall was the only African-American student to earn a doctorate in music education from ASU. McCall also reportedly said that she feels she can offer “an informed perspective based on experience and expertise” that can optimize K-12 learning experiences.

In July 2022, McCall was featured in a <a href="https://www.classicfm.com/discover-music/critical-race-theory-music-education/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Classic FM article</a> titled, “Music professor breaks down [CRT] and why it’s crucial for 21st-century music education.” McCall told the publication:

“‘[CRT] is a tool that was conceptualized and born out of critical legal studies as a means to analyze, critique and to help dismantle racism…Even though…we like to think of ourselves as being more progressive and more innovative…When you look at a university curriculum in America, it gives you a really nice snapshot of Western Europe.’”

She informs readers of her experiences as an “African American in music education…whose structures and social actors attempted to silence [her] voice.” Although McCall experienced notable success and received much encouragement throughout her pursuits, she wrote: 

“Despite my professors and peers at ASU ensuring me that I was in a safe place, I didn’t believe it because I knew that outside of ASU, society viewed my voice differently and that the profession did not want to hear what I had to say. These were my perceptions…”

“We use ‘Latinx’ as a gender-neutral reference to the people of Latin-American heritage. To not negate gendered experiences, we use Latino/Latina, or Chicano/a when acknowledging individuals or past research identifying with these gendered identities … Although both ‘Black’ and ‘Latinx’ are politicized categories, we recognize the reality of the identities are diverse, intersecting, and fluid.”
In an article titled “Over 1,200 ‘Educators for Palestine’ Sign Open Letter Demanding Ceasefire,” <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/over-a-thousand-educators-for-palestine-sign-open-letter-demanding-ceasefire/#:~:text=Hundreds%20of%20academics%20from%20universities,has%20killed%20more%20than%2011%2C000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Truthout</a> gave a biased account of a statement signed by several university professors, including Sampson. The statement was crafted after the October 7 Hamas attacks against Israel. 

Truthout said, “Hundreds of academics from universities and institutions of higher learning from … across North America have signed on to a joint letter, calling on their governments to demand Israeli ceasefire in Gaza … The signers, calling themselves ‘Educators for Palestine,’ are Palestinian academics and their allies who denounce Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.”

The <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BA7ddNwiUF9ns3zJK3t-nrTpn8R4s3ZB_wbZstAo2iY/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter Sampson signed</a> states, in part:
“We have paid careful attention to consistent invocations of children in public officials’ responses to and media portrayals of the attack in Israel on October 7, which took 1400 lives. We mourn this loss of life, and we are also struck by the ways that this concern for children does not extend to the unspeakable number of Palestinian children’s lives taken by Israeli state violence, harmed by apartheid rule, and traumatized by intergenerational experiences of settler colonial dispossession for over [75] years.”

 “‘I wasn’t a good fit for the ‘SportsCenter’ culture. Definitely not a good fit for the management that was overseeing the ‘SportsCenter’ at the time. And I got tired. I got really tired of fighting everyday to be myself … It’s the conservative culture at ESPN and so this idea that ESPN is being run by flower children is just a lie. That’s not how it is. It’s the opposite, if anything … 
‘Once critics started seeing my face … then suddenly ESPN is too liberal because what they’re really trying to say is ‘Oh, y’all must be liberal-leaning because you got all these women and all these [b]lack people who are suddenly on my TV everyday.’”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/4399703" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shannon Portillo</a> is a Professor and the Director of the School of Public Affairs at Arizona State University. According to Portillo’s biography, “Her work helps scholars and practitioners understand how inequities are institutionalized in public organizations … [She also] served as co-chair of Kansas Governor Laura Kelly’s Commission on Racial Equity and Justice.”

Portillo’s <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Kw7ABu8AAAAJ&amp;hl=en&amp;oi=ao" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published works</a> include topics such as “Social Equity,” “Law &amp; Society,” and “Street-Level Bureaucracy.” She co-authored a paper entitled “<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G6j6mAfv3ycBqEtPvz4qR70Tjk8GBjgH/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advancing Social Equity in the Minnowbrook Tradition</a>,” which discussed the “goals of valuing social equity and using it as a guide in managing public programs.” 

In her work, Portillo refers to a meeting called Minnowbrook I that took place following the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. According to the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G6j6mAfv3ycBqEtPvz4qR70Tjk8GBjgH/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Minnowbrook 50 Social Equity Manifesto</a>, “[A] group of public administration scholars met to reflect on the implications of the social and environmental circumstances for [their] discipline … [Their] call to action … focused on ways to intersect and integrate social equity in the research, teaching, and practice of public administration.”
In the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G6j6mAfv3ycBqEtPvz4qR70Tjk8GBjgH/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Minnowbrook paper,</a> Portillo et al. wrote:
“In 40 years since Minnowbrook I, the concern for social equity has grown to the point where it now occupies a firm place within the academy … However, despite its growth and general acceptance as a core area of research and concern, evidence of gross societal inequities in the United States and the global community abound.”
Portillo was featured in the <a href="https://news.ku.edu/news/article/2022/02/17/public-administration-should-consider-effects-whiteness-masculinity-well-representation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KU News article</a> titled “Public administration should consider effects of whiteness, masculinity as well as presentation, researchers say,” where she offered her perspective on gender and racial discrimination in the industry.

Portillo states that during President Woodrow Wilson’s term, a push for segregation led to discrimination and the “normalization of white men in bureaucratic roles.” Any truth in this statement is neutralized by her contradictory claim that “[w]hite men have been in charge pretty much forever,” and, at the same time, “[w]e need more empirical evidence” to know whether white men in leadership have helped or harmed professional communities.

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/4219914" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lydia HaRim Ahn</a> is an Assistant Professor in Counseling and Counseling Psychology at Arizona State University. According to her university profile, Ahn’s academic interests include the following:

“1) examining the detrimental effects of racism and oppression on marginalized communities with an emphasis on within group differences, 2) developmental protective and risk factors between racism and health outcomes with a focus on ethnic-racial socialization and parenting, and 3) enhancing positive psychological outcomes and change through psychotherapy, evidence-based videos, and prevention and intervention programming.” 
In February, Ahn and Thomas P. Le co-wrote an <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Asian American Women’s Racial Dating Preferences: An Investigation of Internalized Racism, Resistance and Empowerment against Racism, and Desire for Status.” In the abstract for the article, the authors state their purpose for writing it: 
“To further understand racialized desire among this underrepresented population, the present study examined the extent to which three sociocultural factors (i.e., internalized racism, resistance and empowerment against racism, and desire for status) were associated with two attraction outcome variables (i.e., dating preferences, physical attraction) across four racial categories of men: Asian men, Black men, Latino men, and White men.” 
They claim the factors of “internalized racism, resistance and empowerment against racism, and desire for status” have caused Asian American women to have a “stronger dating preference toward White men and weaker dating preference and physical attraction to Asian men.”  

In a section of the article titled “Internalized Racism,” the authors address their research on male dating preferences based on race. Focusing on Asian American women, the authors state that the demographic faces “gendered racial microaggressions and model minority stereotypes that produce internalized racism.” They then focus on the differences between Asian and white men with regard to Asian women and dating: 
“Asian American women have reported a desire to date White men for the sake of economic security, as well as to assimilate into White American society, even if their White male partners engaged in racial fetishization of Asian women (Nemoto, <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR50" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2006</a>). This preference may promote stereotypes of Asian American men as undesirable and perpetually foreign (Wong &amp; McCullough, <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR69" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021</a>) and Black and Latino men as inferior to white men (Cascalheira &amp; Smith, <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2020</a>). Furthermore, Asian American women face gendered racism (Gamst et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR15" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2023</a>), or experiences of discrimination that are based upon the intersections of their race and gender, which contributes to their disempowerment and negative self-worth within the United States (Ahn et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022</a>).”
The authors conclude their study:
“Overall, our findings highlight how Asian American women’s romantic and intimate desires may be shaped by internalized racism, resistance and empowerment, and desire for social status. Asian American women face gendered racial microaggressions and model minority stereotypes that produce internalized racism (Ahn et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022</a>; Juang et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR26" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2018</a>; Wei et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR68" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2008</a>).”

Lober also serves as the director of ASU’s Academy of Lactation Programs and the clinical research director at Banner University Medical Center–Phoenix.

During an ASU presentation in March 2023, Lober pointed out that part of the Lactation Programs vision is to “normalize breastfeeding and human milk feeding as an act of social justice and health promotion.”

According to The Fix, “Lober opened the one-hour moderated discussion by stating she ‘got into this space because the United States hates women and everything the female body does.’” 

The School Board Watchlist did not uncover the original audio from the event. However, <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/cannibalism-forced-breeding-professors-fearmonger-abortion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Live Action </a>pointed out:
“Lober also argued that she is discouraging her children from having children, and said the decline in birth rates is a good thing—because the planet is overpopulated. Yet, ironically, the ASU <a href="https://asuevents.asu.edu/event/jenny-irishs-hatch-speculative-future-reproductive-rights?eventDate=2024-08-28&amp;id=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">events page</a> states that Lober’s ‘research is focused on establishing lactation and breastfeeding as a public health imperative’ and that she ‘is dedicated to working for a better world for families’...How, exactly does not create a better world for families or better health for children by encouraging abortion?”
Conservative lawyer and journalist, Jonathan Turley, <a href="https://jonathanturley.org/2024/09/01/the-united-states-hates-women-asu-event-offers-dystopian-anti-capitalist-vision-of-america/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mentioned</a> Lober in an article titled “‘The United States Hates Women’: ASU Event Offer Dystopian, Anti-Capitalist Vision of America.” Reflecting on Lober’s resolution for a future America without abortion, Turley said she called for the audience “to help ‘dismantle capitalism’ and ‘elect a female president.’”

Since the event, Lober has not commented publicly on her role in the conversation with Irish. Based on mainstream media reactions, both professors are committed to espousing anti-American and anti-family values.

The KJZZ host asked Irish to comment on her “associations” with the King novel “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Carrie-Stephen-King/dp/1984898108/ref=asc_df_1984898108/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=692875362841&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=14364719003284224040&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9061155&amp;hvtargid=pla-2281435178818&amp;psc=1&amp;mcid=d9f4354e402c38979d3d64dbfc2a5893&amp;hvocijid=14364719003284224040-1984898108-&amp;hvexpln=73" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carrie</a>”—the story of a high school outcast with telekinetic powers who eventually murders her bullying classmates by setting the town on fire. 

Irish responded to the interviewer stating:
“‘Carrie’ is amazing in the fact that [it] was written 50 years ago, but there’s so much about it that feels pretty tragically contemporary. If Carrie White had had access to a decent sex ed class, the town of Chamberlain, Maine, would still be standing…[I]t’s not hard to think about that in the midst I feel of our current kind of sociopolitical moment, where there’s such an assault on bodily autonomy and considerations of the rights of people to define their own identity and their own bodies and their relationships to them.”
On August 30, 2024, Irish was featured in The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/u-s-hates-women-faces-future-of-cannibalism-forced-breeding-camps-asu-event/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> entitled “U.S. ‘hates women,’ faces future of cannibalism, ‘forced breeding campus’: ASU event.” In <a href="https://lincolncenter.asu.edu/wb-workshop-HATCH" target="_blank" rel="noopener">partnership</a> with ASU Professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angelalober" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angela Lober</a>, Irish <a href="https://asuevents.asu.edu/event/jenny-irishs-hatch-speculative-future-reproductive-rights?eventDate=2024-08-28&amp;id=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hosted an event</a> centered on releasing her new book “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Hatch/9sHtEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;printsec=frontcover">Hatch</a>,” a collection of prose poems exploring the future of the human race surviving through AI.

According to <a href="https://nupress.northwestern.edu/9780810146969/hatch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northwestern University Press</a>:
“The prose poems in Jenny Irish’s newest collection, Hatch, trace the consciousness of an artificial womb that must confront the role she has played in the continuation of the dying of the human species. This apocalyptic vision engages with the most pressing concerns of this contemporary sociopolitical moment: reproductive rights, climate crises, and mass extinction; gender and racial bias in healthcare technology…and the possibilities and dangers of artificial intelligence.”
In the following excerpt, Irish appears to describe an abortion from the artificial womb’s perspective.

The Professor Watchlist did not recover any original video of the “Hatch” presentation.

On September 20, 2024, <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/christian-professors-intro-to-christianity-class-torpedoed-at-asu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix featured</a> Anderson in an article titled “Christian professor’s ‘Intro to Christianity’ class torpedoed at ASU.” Quoting Dr. Anderson’s phone interview, the Fix wrote:
“If a class does not have a general education designation, most students won’t enroll and his college will be hesitant to offer it because it won’t attract many students.” 
Dr. Anderson’s Intro to Christianity class was canceled because he said ASU “[doesn’t] want it taught from a Christian perspective.” He provided The Fix with a member from ASU <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/juliasarreal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associate Professor Julia Sarreal</a> who said, “The syllabus reflects a Christian way of teaching Christianity, which is to say the course does not adequately provide the kids of critical, reflective, disciplinary skills that students need.”

In an <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/asus-dr-owen-anderson-warns-of-new-policies-threatening-academic-freedom">interview with Turning Point USA</a>, Dr. Anderson stated that he, and his colleagues, were asked to “decolonize” their course syllabi. He described decolonization according to ASU’s definition:
“Decolonize means you become aware of any Western, and especially Christian, influences in your syllabus, and you replace those with what they would call ‘Indigenous people’s perspectives.’ Decolonizing comes out of a communist philosophy…It’s a political philosophy that’s being adopted by ASU to push on the students.”
During the interview, Dr. Anderson also said since he teaches world religions and philosophies, he believes his courses are culturally diverse, therefore, his lesson plans don’t need to be revised.

On March 19, 2024, Dr. Anderson <a href="https://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Complaint-Final-with-exhibits.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed a complaint</a> with the Arizona Board of Regents after ASU mandated diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training for faculty and staff members. In <a href="https://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/case/dismantling-asus-discriminatory-dei-regime/">partnership</a> with the Goldwater Institute, he brought the lawsuit to prohibit the college from using race, ethnicity, or sex—which goes against state and federal laws—to hire and retain employees.

In a June 18 <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/06/my-university-required-dei-training-im-suing/">opinion editorial</a> titled “My University Required DEI Training. I’m Suing,” Dr. Anderson wrote:
“I’m in favor of each of those terms: Diversity…equity…and inclusion…are undoubtedly good things. But when I began the mandatory training, I found something troubling: It engaged in race blaming, warning of the supposed ‘problem’ of whiteness and encouraged judgment of people based on their skin color. I could not, in good conscience, continue such racist training.”
Dr. Anderson <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/asus-dr-owen-anderson-warns-of-new-policies-threatening-academic-freedom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> TPUSA that he believes these cultural shifts occurred as a result of ASU’s evolving definition of “multiculturalism,” which he also said, “caused respect for Christians to deteriorate on campus.”

Published - September 23, 2024
On January 27, Professor Anderson <a href="https://crossexamined.org/a-guide-to-choosing-a-humanities-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> “A Guide To Choosing a Humanities Professor” for Cross Examined. 

In the guide, Anderson listed a series of qualities and defects found in humanities professors throughout the U.S. that should be sought after or avoided by students. Overall, he says students should pursue a degree that prepares them for life and teaches them to be wise.

Anderson wrote:
“Many professors in these classes don’t know how to teach what is good or what it means to be wise.”
He then explains the purpose of a humanities degree:
“But what about a degree in the humanities? How does it prepare you for life? To do so it would have to teach you what is good for a human life.”
According to Anderson, a humanities degree encourages students to learn and gain wisdom and reach the highest good in life:
“Wisdom is understanding the highest good and knowing how to live your life in a way that helps you reach the good. What is good for a person depends on human nature…The highest good is the ultimate goal we aim for in everything we do. We might have smaller goals along the way, but those are just steps toward something greater. ”
For Anderson, seeking the knowledge of God is an endeavor to reach the highest good that should be embedded into a humanities program:
“Most philosophers agree that the ultimate good for a human is to know God. Thinkers like Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Descartes, and Locke all point to this idea in their work, even if they describe it in different ways. Even philosophers who don’t use the word “God” often still believe that knowing the highest reality—whatever they call it—is what makes life truly good for a person.”
Anderson cautions students to avoid skeptics and nihilists, ask professors what they believe is good, and find a professor who knows what is good. 

“These three steps will help you determine if a professor is wise and capable of teaching you wisdom,” Anderson wrote.

Even if professors who fit Anderson’s criteria cannot be found, the professor concluded with the following consolation:

“The good news is that you can still graduate without taking their classes.”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/1429800" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julia Sarreal</a> is a Professor in the School of Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies at Arizona State University. Sarreal’s research interests include Latin American Studies, Food, Drugs, and Capitalism. Her top area of expertise is “Consumerism.”

On September 20, 2024, Sarreal was featured in The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/christian-professors-intro-to-christianity-class-torpedoed-at-asu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Christian professor’s ‘Intro to Christianity’ class torpedoed at ASU.” The piece covers the cancelation of <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/drowenanderson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor Dr. Owen Anderson’s</a> religious studies course. 

After the college rejected his class, it was revealed that Sarreal objected to the premise of Christianity being taught on campus. The Fix recorded her comments:

“The <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/771107095/REL-270-Introduction-to-Christianity-ASU-Dr-Owen-Anderson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">syllabus</a> reflects a Christian way of teaching Christianity, which is to say the course does not adequately provide the kinds of critical, reflective, disciplinary skills that students need to have in order to study religious traditions.”

“Furthermore, the focus on ‘Western Civilization’ is problematic. It is true that Christianity has been ‘influential’ in European history, it has also been deeply influential elsewhere in ways that are completely ignored in the syllabus.” 

Based on the feedback Sarreal received from Dr. Anderson, it appears she either did not read the syllabus or chose to interpret the lesson plans through an objectionable lens. Sarreal specifically described one of the modules as being “focused on ‘the’ biblical worldview” and called this a “fraught oversimplification.”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/3924315" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ruben Espinosa</a> is Professor of English and Director of the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at Arizona State University (ASU). According to his faculty profile, Espinosa’s studies are chiefly focused on the work of William Shakespeare. 

On September 16, 2024, ASU’s <a href="https://humanitiesinstitute.asu.edu/events" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Humanities Institute</a> hosted a panel with Espinosa and Professor Curtis Austin on cultural appropriation concerning the plays of Shakespeare. The <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/arizona-state-u-scholars-condemn-white-ownership-of-shakespeare/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">event</a> is described by the university as such: 
“What constitutes cultural appropriation, and when is it unethical? Should we adopt voices beyond our own, and if so then what factors must be weighed beforehand?”
“Pressing on hard research questions may lead to ethical dilemmas of how to speak in relation to another. This panel will discuss what it means to think, research, and write across cultures and ways of being.”  
In an audio recording of a l<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/arizona-state-u-scholars-condemn-white-ownership-of-shakespeare/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ecture</a> obtained by the College Fix, Espinosa connected the alleged “white exceptionalism” of January 6 rioters U.S. Capitol protesters to Shakespeare. These two are both claimed to be symbols of “white exceptionalism” and “racial hierarchy.” The professor stated:

“It kind of has this origin in anti-immigrant sentiments, right, all the way to January 6th, when we think about that white exceptionalism, and this notion of a kind of white ownership of Shakespeare.”
Espinosa believes that “Shakespeare is the epitome or the marker of white exceptionalism” and sits at the top of the “racial hierarchy.” Thereby, he attached the poet to “whiteness” exclusively over humanity independent of race. 

In 2021, Espinosa published a book titled “<a href="https://www.routledge.com/Shakespeare-on-the-Shades-of-Racism/Espinosa/p/book/9780367183004">Shakespeare on the Shades of Racism</a>.” The publisher’s description states:
“Shakespeare on the Shades of Racism examines Shakespeare in relation to ongoing conversations that interrogate the vulnerability of Black and brown people amid oppressive structures that aim to devalue their worth. By focusing on the way these individuals are racialized, politicized, policed, and often violated in our contemporary world, it casts light on dimensions of Shakespeare’s work that afford us a better understanding of our ethical responsibilities in the face of such brutal racism.”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/1256527" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lela Rankin</a> is a professor in the Arizona State University School of Social Work, Tucson. According to her faculty profile, “Rankin’s scholarship focuses on preventive interventions for children and families, particularly in vulnerable populations.”

According to a January report from the <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/maternal-instinct-is-socially-constructed-myth-arizona-state-u-professor-says/">College Fix</a>, in a lecture Rankin claimed that the maternal instinct is a fabricated myth with no biological reality. 

“[T]his idea of this maternal instinct, it struck me as potentially problematic because it really places the primacy on biological mothers, and then it relegates other people…to essentially secondary babysitters or assistants, right?”

The claims in this lecture are based on  research that can be found in a <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0277953624006257#:~:text=We%20did%20not%20find%20empirical,knowledge%20strengthened%20attachment%20over%20time." target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> Rankin co-authored with Haley G. Krouskop b, Maryanne L. Fisher.

In the study, titled “Mother-infant attachment from the perspective of young mothers: Does the data support a maternal instinct?,” the authors claim the following:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We did not find empirical evidence to support an innate maternal instinct.•</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Young mothers' qualitative experiences with attachment at birth were diverse.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Physical touch-based parenting and parental stress impacted the bonding experience.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Reciprocity and parenting confidence/knowledge strengthened attachment over time.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Mothers developed an “instinct” through repetitive interactions with their infant.”</li>
</ul>
Further addressing the above points, the authors find that no maternal instinct is inherent during the processes of pregnancy and childbirth; rather, a mother infant connection is developed after birth during childcare:

“Despite diverse experiences with felt attachment at birth, all mothers perceived that the mother-infant connection was influenced by contextual factors after birth and was strengthened over time with more care-taking experience. ​​This suggests that mothers likely developed a ‘maternal instinct’ through repetitive interaction with their infant as the primary caretaker rather than a genetic predisposition to be superior nurturing parents.”

In the article’s conclusion, the authors maintain that caregiving and nurturing behaviors are a necessity and should be present during pregnancy or right at childbirth. They cite British psychoanalyst John Bowlby’s concept of attachment theory, among other theorists, in an attempt to backup their claims:  

“If mothers possess an innate instinct for the purposes of bonding, breastfeeding, and other caregiving behaviors… then arguably this instinct should be felt during pregnancy or at childbirth.”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/970381" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sally L. Kitch</a> is a professor in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University. 

According to her faculty profile, Kitch “specializes in three major research and teaching areas: 
<ol>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“[F]eminist theory, including the intellectual history of gender and racial ideology in the U.S. and other countries and the impact of gender representation in visual and narrative culture on the lived realities of diverse women's lives; </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">feminist epistemology, the epistemology of the humanities, and theories of interdisciplinary knowledge production; </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">environmental humanities, including the importance of the humanities to sustainability science and the relationship of sustainability to gender and racial ideologies.”  </li>
</ol>
In the aftermath of the US Supreme Court’s 2022 repeal of Roe v. Wade through the <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/19-1392_6j37.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dobbs Decision</a>, Kitch wrote an <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/369989167_Reproductive_Rights_and_Ecofeminism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Reproductive Rights and Ecofeminism.” 

Ecofeminism is <a href="https://hcwc.college.harvard.edu/education/workshops/ecofeminism#:~:text=Ecofeminism%2C%20also%20called%20ecological%20feminism,merits%20of%20intuition%20and%20collaboration." target="_blank" rel="noopener">defined</a> as a practice using “the basic feminist tenets of gender equality, a revaluing of non-patriarchal or nonlinear structures, and a view of the world that respects organic processes, holistic connections, and the merits of intuition and collaboration.”

In the article, Kitch aligns herself with ecofeminism, and argues that the “Dobbs decision invites an ecofeminist interpretation of its relationship to the destruction of our planet and to the biopolitics of environmental sustainability.”

The professor claimed that there is a connection between the bodies of women, enslaved, disabled, and racialized people, along with animals and nature as “terrains” of conquest: 

“Ecofeminism in the 2020s links those forces by articulating ‘a clear connection between the treatment of the bodies of women, the enslaved, the disabled, and the racialized, and the treatment of lands, animals, and plants: they are all naturalized terrains of experimentation or conquest.”

The term “ecofascist” is used in the article a few times. Kitch’s cited <a href="https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/4-november-december/feature/eco-fascism-uncovered-el-paso-texas">source</a> defines the term as “violence in the name of environmental conservation.” Kitch further writes on “ecofascists”:

“Many ecofascists in the U.S. oppose action to reduce global warming by eliminating carbon emissions as an affront to white patriarchal/capitalist/colonial power, which allegedly emanates from industrial might and its key driver, fossil fuels (Hernandez-Simmons 2022; Westervelt 2022).”

Kitch is still listed on the ASU faculty site as an active professor, yet the <a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/970381" target="_blank" rel="noopener">last course</a> she taught was a practicum in 2022.

<a href="https://nes.princeton.edu/people/satyel-larson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Satyel Larson</a> is an Assistant Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University. Larson’s areas of instruction are “Anthropology,” “Law and society,” “The Maghreb” and “Women, gender and sexuality.” Her faculty profile says:
“Her research and teaching lie at the intersections of law, science, technology and society; women, gender and sexuality; reproduction, health and medicine; Islam and secularism; colonialism, postcolonialism and globality; historical anthropology and epistemology; political economy; and language, discourse and narrative.”
Larson <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/princeton-anti-capitalist-class-teaching-black-people-considered-handicapped-systemic-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made headlines</a> for reportedly teaching a course “that claims black people can be considered disabled due to the purported systemic racism they face.” Princeton’s Undergraduate Courses-Fall 2023 <a href="https://nes.princeton.edu/courses">schedule</a> lists Larson as the instructor for “The Healing Humanities: Decolonizing Trauma Studies from the Global South.” The course description says the course:
“Introduces the transdisciplinary field of trauma studies by examining visions of humanity…Reorienting healing as a decolonizing process enables students to re-politicize personal trauma as it intersects with global legacies of violence, war, racism, slavery, patriarchy, colonialism, orientalism, homophobia, ableism, capitalism and extractivism.”
<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/princeton-anti-capitalist-class-teaching-black-people-considered-handicapped-systemic-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> highlighted Larson’s racialized course along with a textbook on the <a href="https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?courseid=016853&amp;term=1242" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sample Reading List.</a> According to the publisher, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Right-Maim-Debility-Disability-Otherwise/dp/0822369184/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3CJIPSGV1XZ1X&amp;keywords=Jasbir+Puar%2C+The+Right+to+Maim%3A+Debility%2C+Capacity%2C+Disability&amp;qid=1693330890&amp;sprefix=%2Caps%2C142&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Right to Maim: Debility, Capacity, Disability</a>” by Rutgers professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/jasbirpuar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jasbir Puar</a> is “an interrogation of Israel’s policies toward Palestine, in which [Puar] outlines how Israel brings Palestinians into biopolitical being by designating them available for injury.” 
The publisher also wrote, “Supplementing its right to kill with what Puar calls the right to maim, the Israeli state relies on liberal frameworks of disability to obscure and enable the mass debilitation of Palestinian bodies.”
On August 16, 2023, the Free Beacon featured Larson <a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/satyel-larson-princeton-professor-anti-semitism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in an article</a> titled “5 Things We Absolutely Love About Princeton Professor Satyel Larson.” The Beacon said, “Professor Larson, a white female redhead, brings a valuable diverse perspective to the university’s stable of anti-Semites.” The list with corresponding photos is below:

Princeton Bioethics Professor Peter Singer made headlines after sharing his views on sex acts with animals. On November 8, 2023, Singer shared what he called a “thought-provoking article” titled “<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mOOHWhgfENSAz-Bl7kQb9fPHHzRqh9Dm/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zoophilia Is Morally Permissible</a>.” Singer said that “[the article] challenges one of society's strongest taboos and argues for the moral permissibility of some forms of sexual contact between humans and animals.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Another thought-provoking article is "Zoophilia Is Morally Permissible" by Fira Bensto (pseudonym), which is just out in the current issue of <a href="https://twitter.com/JConIdeas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JConIdeas</a>.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The article Singer referred to states that “[s]ex with animals is a powerful social taboo that exposes its practitioners to utmost indignation and stigma.” The piece also claims, “Many people who have sex with animals do not strictly speaking have a zoophilic orientation, but use animals as surrogates for human sex partners.”
The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/11/11/lifestyle/princeton-professor-ignites-outrage-by-calling-journal-article-about-sex-with-animals-thought-provoking-someone-check-his-hard-drive/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> that Singer followed up his original post with an essay on Facebook where he clarified:
“I didn’t write the article on the permissibility of zoophilia [but] I am a co-editor for that journal. The fact that we judge an article worthy of publication does not indicate that I or my co-editors agree with the views contained in it…The Journal of Conversational Ideas is free and open access for everyone to read…
“Now imagine that you are an animal living with a person who cares for you and loves you in all the ways that most people love their companion animals, but in addition, this person sometimes has sexual contact with you, making sure that the contact does not hurt you, and leaving you free to move away if you don't like it…”

One commenter said Singer was “adopting the language of predator abusers, the same words used to dismiss and denigrate [rape] survivors.”

In a <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/peter-singer-compares-abortion-to-turning-off-a-computer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Review article</a> titled, “Peter Singer Compares Abortion to Turning Off a Computer,” the author writes, “To understand Singer’s perspective: He doesn’t believe that human life has moral value simply because he or she is human. Rather, value has to be earned, primarily be being self-aware or able to value life [sic]. He argues that self-aware entities are ‘persons’ —including some animals.”

National Review continued, “[Singer] also believes that non-self-aware beings—including human infants, unborn babies, and people who have serious dementia, persistent unconsciousness or minimal consciousness—are not persons. Non-persons, in his view, have lower moral value than persons and can be killed or used instrumentally for the benefit of persons…”

__________________________
Peter Singer is a Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University. As a philosopher and self-identified “<a href="https://longtermrisk.org/hedonistic-vs-preference-utilitarianism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hedonistic utilitarian</a>,” Dr. Singer holds a number of controversial views on human and animal ethics. These include stances on abortion, euthanasia, and infanticide.

More than an advocate for abortion, Dr. Singer claims there is nothing inherently immoral about killing a child.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB5IZXGmk08&amp;feature=emb_title" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During a debate at Harvard University</a>, Dr. Singer recognized that fetuses in the womb are living human beings. However, he added people—including those not yet born—have varying degrees of value based on whether or not they feel pain.

He further claimed that only people who are fully conscious or feel pain have a right to their own lives. Abortion, he argued, cannot be considered immoral. Dr. Singer acknowledges that his stance presents a “challenging” problem regarding recently-born children.
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DB5IZXGmk08" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

Dr. Singer has also justified infanticide for babies who are disabled or have serious health conditions. In the 1979 edition of Practical Ethics, he wrote: “<a href="https://archive.org/details/practicalethics0000sing/page/n3/mode/2up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Killing a defective infant is not morally equivalent to killing a person. Sometimes it is not wrong at all</a>.”

Many have accused <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/human-exceptionalism/peter-singer-eugenicist-wesley-j-smith/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Singer of being sympathetic to eugenics</a> due to his apparent empathy towards parents who <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/human-exceptionalism/peter-singer-eugenicist-wesley-j-smith/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">select particular genes in human fetuses for more desirable children</a>.

During a 2015 radio interview, Dr. Singer argued that it was “reasonable” <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/ethics-professor-kill-severely-disabled-infants-under-obamacare/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to euthanize disabled infants to prevent higher premiums under Obamacare</a>. In a Q&amp;A hosted on his personal website, Dr. Singer <a href="https://petersinger.info/faq/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims that newborns are not persons as they have “no sense of the future</a>.”

“[Killing] a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person, that is, a being who wants to go on living.”

Dr. Singer added that although killing an infant is a “terrible thing to do,” parents should have the freedom to end the life of their newborn. He added that the presiding doctor would then take steps to “swiftly and humanely” end the child’s life.

According to his biography, Dr. Singer <a href="https://uchv.princeton.edu/people/peter-singer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has been teaching at Princeton since 1999</a>. He authored other books on utilitarianism, veganism, and animal liberation.

According to her University biography, Dr. Taylor is a scholar of racial inequity in public policymaking, and writes “extensively” about race, politics, and “radical activism.”

As a Professor and political commentator, Dr. Taylor offers her opinion across a wide variety of social media platforms and media outlets. She is known to condemn capitalism, the United States, and Israel while lauding socialism and the Soviet Union.

On her personal <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter account</a>, Dr. Taylor smears Israel as a racial, apartheid state that actively commits genocide against Arabs in the Middle East. In one tweet, she alleges that Israel is attempting to “annihilate” Palestine:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
The consequence of apartheid is not separation, it’s annihilation. End the occupation, free Palestine <a href="https://t.co/2jUOpL3oBq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/2jUOpL3oBq</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

In another post, she flagrantly alleges that Israel is engaged in the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and Gaza, despite the <a href="https://www.camera.org/article/methodist-staffer-demonizes-israel-reveals-ignorance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resident Arab population quadrupling since 1948</a>,
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
What we are witnessing is not the “eviction” of Palestinians from their homes. This is ethnic cleansing. This is the most basic expression of settler colonialism. This is the illegal and immoral expulsion of Palestinians with the expectation they are “accepted” elsewhere. <a href="https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8</a>

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

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

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

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

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

Best was featured in a 2020 Princeton press release titled <a href="https://www.princeton.edu/news/2020/09/30/wallace-best-leads-program-gender-and-sexuality-studies-dynamic-new-era" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wallace Best leads the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies into a dynamic new era</a>. In the article, Best responds to questions regarding his experience with feminine studies. When asked, “What is the value of studying gender and sexuality studies in the current era in America?,” Best said:
“It’s interdisciplinary in that it’s connected to more historically formal disciplines like sociology, political science and religion, but draws each in robust and engaging ways. I think about what’s happening with the Black Lives Matter movement, for example. Some of that activist work is born from the scholarship within the intellectual orbit — scholars who have centered issues of gender and sexuality in its inextricable connection to race, class, location and ethnicity.” 
He continued,
“So, when I see those protests, I feel quite proud that some of what the leaders say is born from the discourses of feminism, Black feminism, queer studies, and from gender and sexuality studies. So, I would say this is one of the most exciting times to be involved in this field.”
Best also holds a Ph.D. in Religion. His areas of research and teaching include African American religious history, religion and literature, Pentecostalism, and Womanist theology. One course Best teaches, <a href="https://religion.princeton.edu/courses/spring-2022/black-women-and-spiritual-narrative" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Black Women and Spiritual Narrative</a>,” focuses on “the hypothesis that religious metaphor and symbolism have figured prominently in Black women’s writing across literary genres.” He’s currently working on a book entitled “The Spiritual Capital of Black America: Twentieth Century Harlem’s World of Religion and Churches.”

Anne McClintock is Princeton University’s <a href="https://gss.princeton.edu/people/anne-mcclintock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A. Barton Hepburn Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies</a>. She’s also an Affiliated Faculty for the Princeton Environmental Institute and Department of English and serves on the Executive Committee of the Program in American Studies.

McClintock’s faculty profile says her “interdisciplinary and transitional work — both scholarly and creative — explores the intersections between race, gender and sexualities; imperialism and globalization.” Her interests also include sexual and gender violence, climate chaos, and animal studies.

McClintock is the author of “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Imperial_Leather/wRwiAQAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Imperial Leather: Race, Gender and Sexuality in the Colonial Contest</a>.” The publisher notes that the book “chronicles the dangerous liaisons between gender, race and class that shaped British imperialism and its bloody dismantling.” In one chapter called The White Family of Man, she says,
“King Solomon’s Mines was [sic] intimately concerned with events in South Africa following the discovery of diamonds and then gold: specifically, the reordering of women’s sexuality and work in the African homestead and the diversion of black male labor into the mines.”
She continues, 
“The Story illuminates not only relations between the imperial metropolis and the colonies but also the refashioning of gender relations in South Africa, as a nascent capitalism penetrated the region and disrupted already contested power relations with the homesteads.”
In 2019, McClintock was among several Princeton faculty members who participated in a campus strike. <a href="https://paw.princeton.edu/article/princeton-students-faculty-join-community-climate-strike" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princeton Alumni Weekly</a> listed her as an event speaker in a protest to “demand climate justice.” That same year, she was also featured in The Nation’s article titled “<a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/princeton-students-are-sitting-in-for-title-ix-reform/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princeton Students are Sitting in for Title IX Reform</a>.” This protest was organized after “believe all women” posters appeared in campus bathrooms and “Title IX protects rapists” was graffitied on a walking path.

Her university profile says she “specializes in the interdisciplinary study of science, medicine, and technology with a focus on the relationship between innovation and social equity.” 

Professor Benjamin is the author of several publications including a book titled “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Race_After_Technology/G6-hDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code</a>.” The book explores how “emerging technologies can reinforce White supremacy and deepen social inequity.”

The introduction contains a section called Race as Technology where she states that technology is “designed to separate, stratify, and sanctify the many forms of injustice experienced by members of racialized groups, but one that people routinely reimagine and redeploy to other ends.”
<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-2358" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/PWL-QUOTES-12-e1665699428164-1024x407.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="254" />
In a <a href="https://youtu.be/rY8RkET3KC0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video discussing her reasons for writing</a> “Race After Technology,” Benjamin gave an example of how technology is racist. She said, “Two friends [were] using an automated soap dispenser and the soap wouldn’t come out [for] the individual with darker skin because darker skin absorbs light. So if it’s infrared technology, it’s not going to work as effectively.”

Professor Benjamin <a href="https://youtu.be/_8RrX4hjCr0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">also gave a Ted Talk</a> where she used laboratory and park benches to discuss how “the idea of discriminatory design is a global phenomenon.” She also says, “I think at the heart of discriminatory design is this idea that we can create technological fixes for social crises…we create short-term responses that often get the issues out of sight, out of mind.”

Gayle Salamon is a <a href="https://english.princeton.edu/people/gayle-salamon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of English and Gender and Sexuality Studies</a> at Princeton University. Salamon’s faculty profile says her research interests include phenomenology, feminist philosophy, queer and transgender theory, contemporary Continental philosophy, and disability studies.

In Salamon’s Introductory to Gender and Sexual Studies course, she tackles questions such as: “What does it mean to be a woman or a man? Or neither?” “How do gender and sexuality, those seemingly most personal and private of attributes, emerge from networks of power and social relations?”

Her published works include two manuscripts, <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Assuming_a_Body/s-idAwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=assuming+a+body&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Assuming a Body: Transgender and Rhetorics of Materiality,”</a>  and<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Life_and_Death_of_Latisha_King/bb84DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=the+life+and+death+of+latisha+king&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> “The Life and Death of Latisha King: A Critical Phenomenology of Transphobia."</a> She also published a peer-reviewed article titled <a href="https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/The-Meontology-of-Masculinity%3A-Notes-on-Castration-Salamon/3784451626c47802e5acd00654de96bf5a7f8222#paper-header" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Meontology of Masculinity: Notes on Castration Elation</a>. (Meontology is the philosophical study of non-being.)

In the Meontology of Masculinity abstract, Salamon cites LGBT “scholars” and says, “Gender is a matter of behavior, but also a result of ‘the more subtle channels of posture, carriage, gaze, and manner of leaning into some (more masculine) things away from other (more feminine) things.’ [Gender scholars] call for a phenomenology of lived gender experiences, to do justice to the variety of ways in which gender can be experienced and also perceived.”

In a <a href="https://thecriticallede.com/066-interview-with-gayle-salamon-author-of-assuming-a-body/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2012 podcast interview with The Critical Lede,</a> Salamon discussed her book “Assuming a Body.” In thinking about the idea of “a man trapped in a woman’s body, and a woman trapped in a man’s body,” she said, “I keep looking for a book that was going to engage both of those things at the same time…My hope was to try to bring together some of the ideas about how we come to inhabit our bodies [and] what is the relationship between the body that everybody else in the world sees and the body that I feel myself to have.”

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

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

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

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

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

</ul>
In the opening paragraph of Atchison’s 2020 blog entry “<a href="https://gabrieljatchison.wordpress.com/2020/11/22/the-folly-of-hope/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Folly of Hope</a>,” she declared,


“Trump exposed all our fault lines due to systemic racism, class exploitation and greed. His initial election and very close re-election should act as a clarion call for us to enact sweeping and lasting social change…”

“Trump has no agenda, but his Puppet Masters do…This election exposed in a raw and unrelenting way, how many people in positions of power feel like people of color simply do not have the right to vote.”

Atchison goes on to identify herself as a “progressive [who finds] Joe Biden significantly inadequate for the task at hand.” She disagrees with any approach Biden may have to unite the nation and she believes the Democratic Party passed up “so many better qualified presidential candidates, with creative ideas…to elect a man whose platform is centrist and apolog[ist].”

<a href="https://history.princeton.edu/people/kevin-m-kruse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Kruse</a> is a Professor of History and the Director of the Center for Collaborative History at Princeton University. His faculty biography says Kruse “studies the political social, and urban/suburban history of 20th-century America.” He’s also “focused on conflicts over race, rights, and religion…[with] particular interests in segregation and the civil rights movement.”

Kruse has published several manuscripts including a 2005 book entitled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/White-Flight-Atlanta-Conservatism-Politics/dp/0691133867?asin=0691133867&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Flight: Atlanta and the Making of Modern Conservatism.</a>” Kruse introduces the novel by stating,

“This book explores the causes and course of white flight, with Atlanta serving as its vantage point…While many have assumed that white flight was little more than a literal movement of the white population, this book argues that it represented a much more important transformation in the political ideology of those involved.”

“Because of their confrontation with the civil rights movement, white southern conservatives were forced to abandon their traditional, populist, and often starkly racist demagoguery and instead craft a new conservatism predicated on a language of rights, freedom, and individualism.”

In June 2022, <a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/double-standards-princeton-turns-blind-eye-to-plagiarism-from-woke-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Free Beacon</a> featured Kruse in an article titled “Double Standards: Princeton Turns Blind Eye to Plagiarism From Woke Professor.” According to the Beacon, “On December 6, the economic historian Phillip Magness emailed Princeton’s dean of faculty, Gene Jarrett, with evidence that [Kruse] plagiarized several passages of his 2015 book ‘One Nation Under God.’”

Magness cited passages of Kruse’s book as allegedly originating from a New York Times Article that was published in the mid-1960s. The Beacon said, “The university never replied to Magness’s email…and has not announced an investigation of Kruse.”

The Princetonian quoted an email response from Kruse stating,

“‘While I indicated my intellectual debts to [author] Prof. Baylor else in the text, endnotes and bibliography of the dissertation, I was surprised to see that there was an instance in the introduction [where] I failed to do so properly.’”

<a href="https://sociology.princeton.edu/people/frederick-wherry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frederick Wherry</a> is the Class of 1917 Professor of Sociology at Princeton University. In June 2022, he was named the inaugural vice dean for diversity and inclusion by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty.

Princeton’s Office of Communications <a href="https://www.princeton.edu/news/2022/06/30/wherry-appointed-vice-dean-diversity-and-inclusion-princetons-office-dean-faculty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published Wherry’s appointment</a> in an announcement wherein the university president said, “‘After spending time with Professor Wherry and learning more about the impact and interventions of his scholarship, [and] his profound commitment to educating our students…he struck me as the ideal colleague to augur our efforts in fulfilling the vision of the vice dean for diversity and inclusion.’”

In the same publication, Wherry said,

“‘Diversity and inclusion are critical to our core mission. When our faculty and academic professionals can participate fully in our shared endeavor, we are all able to see problems in new ways, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, making way for innovation.’”

As the Director of the <a href="https://www.dignityanddebt.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Digntiy and Debt Network</a>, Wherry leads an organization of “experts” who research concepts of “dignity, respect, and fairness” in lending and debt collection. The organization studies debt along racial and socio-economic lines and states one of its goals is “to change the conversation about credit and debt among those measuring financial access and wellness…[b]y developing novel visualizations of dignity and debt…”

Wherry is in favor of canceling student loan debt. He believes borrowers are “victims” while lenders are “perpetrators.”

Wherry participated in a panel discussion called “<a href="https://youtu.be/DP7SK_-fXA8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Native Son: Black Gay Leadership Forum</a>” to discuss ideas on wealth creation, social justice, and trauma within communities. When asked about the aspiration of building assets and stronger economic futures among black and gay people, Wherry stated,

“One of the things we have to keep in mind when building assets is that they look different for our community in part because we have a positive effect on our social networks and building assets. People help us out, sometimes we get that ‘white glove treatment’ by virtue of folks who can tell us how to most effectively take advantage of an opportunity when it arises.”

He continued,

“At the same time, we have to be realistic…our social networks also can deplete some of those traditional forms of asset building…When we are providing financial assistance to our kinfolk — when you compare us to our white counterparts, who don’t have the same kinds of requests coming in at the same level of occupation, at the same level of academic achievement — we just have less available for traditional asset-building.”

Larson <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/princeton-anti-capitalist-class-teaching-black-people-considered-handicapped-systemic-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made headlines</a> for reportedly teaching a course “that claims black people can be considered disabled due to the purported systemic racism they face.” Princeton’s Undergraduate Courses-Fall 2023 <a href="https://nes.princeton.edu/courses">schedule</a> lists Larson as the instructor for “The Healing Humanities: Decolonizing Trauma Studies from the Global South.” The course description says the course:
“Introduces the transdisciplinary field of trauma studies by examining visions of humanity…Reorienting healing as a decolonizing process enables students to re-politicize personal trauma as it intersects with global legacies of violence, war, racism, slavery, patriarchy, colonialism, orientalism, homophobia, ableism, capitalism and extractivism.”

<a href="https://psych.princeton.edu/people/kristina-olson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kristina Olson</a> is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Princeton University. Her faculty profile says:
“I study how children think about social groups, like those based on race and gender. Much of my most recent work has focused on sex and gender-diverse children with ongoing longitudinal projects exploring gender development and well-being in transgender, gender nonconforming and intersex children.”
In 2019, Olson<a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1909367116" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> co-authored a study</a> entitled “Similarity in transgender and cisgender children’s gender development.” In the study “Abstract,” Olson, et al. conclude, “Our findings suggest that early sex assignment and parental rearing based on that sex assignment do not always define how a child identifies or expresses gender later.”

The study goes on to state that “young transgender children are different from their cisgender peers in their unique gender socialization experience, having lived part of their childhoods treated as members of one gender (before transitioning) and part of their childhoods treated as members of another gender (after transitioning).”

Olson <a href="https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/150/2/e2021056082/186992/Gender-Identity-5-Years-After-Social-Transition?autologincheck=redirected">co-authored another study</a> on the effects of socially transitioning after five years. The study’s “methods” are based on data from the Trans Youth Project (TYP)—powered by Princeton University’s HUman[sic] Diversity Lab. The Lab reported data on 208 transgender girls and 109 transgender boys between ages 3 and 12 who had “made a ‘complete’ binary social transition.”

Notably, Olson is listed as the director of the HUman Diversity Lab <a href="https://hudl.princeton.edu/people" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on the “People” page</a>. 

In the study “Gender Identity 5 Years After Social Transition,” Olson, et al. wrote:
“As part of the larger longitudinal study, parents and youth were regularly asked about whether they had begun using puberty blockers and/or gender-affirming hormones…they were not asked about whether puberty had begun, though our available data suggests that…most participants were followed by an endocrinologist well before puberty began.”
In a discussion of the study’s findings, Olson, et al. concluded that “Five years after an initial binary social transition, 7% of youth had retransitioned at least once…Among those who had begun puberty blockers and/or gender-affirming hormones, only 1 had transitioned to live as cisgender…” 

However, Olson et al. admit in the study that they “did not assess whether participants met criteria for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth edition, diagnosis of gender dysphoria in children” and further stated that “many parents did not believe such diagnoses were either ethical or useful…”

Olson told <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/04/health/transgender-children-identity.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>:
“There’s this sort of idea that the kids are going to start [transitioning] and that they’re going to change their minds…And at least in our sample, we’re not finding that.”

Glaude is the author of several race-focused publications, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Democracy-Black-Still-Enslaves-American/dp/1522634940?asin=0804137439&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">including a book</a> entitled, “Democracy in Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul.” In the introduction, Glaude wrote:
“This book details what I call the Great Black Depression, and shows how the current rhetoric of economic recovery does not include the majority of black communities in this country. It challenges the pervasive silence about the crisis in black communities and puts forward an idea of American democracy shorn of its racist baggage.”
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Exodus-Religion-Nation-Nineteenth-Century-America/dp/0226298205/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1AHS2LRZ49TN3&amp;keywords=Exodus%21+Religion%2C+race+and+nation+in+Early+19th+century+black+america&amp;qid=1707509859&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=exodus+religion%2C+race+and+nation+in+early+19th+century+black+america%2Cstripbooks%2C121&amp;sr=1-1&amp;asin=0226298205&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In his novel</a> titled “Exodus! Religion, Race, and Nation In Early 19th Century Black America,” Glaude compares the plight of African Americans to biblical accounts of Jews gaining freedom from slavery in Egypt. Glaude said his rendition explores “the ways the story became a source for a particular use of nation language among African Americans as well as a metaphorical framework for understanding the middle passage, enslavement, and quests for emancipation.”

<a href="https://nes.princeton.edu/people/behrooz-ghamari-tabrizi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi</a> is a Professor of Near Eastern Studies, Chair of the Near Eastern Studies Department, and Director of the Sharmin and Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Iran and Persian Gulf Studies at Princeton University.

In April 2024, Ghamari-Tabrizi signed a “<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/04/princeton-opinion-opguest-faculty-staff-solidarity-palestine-protestors-columbia-barnard-encampment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement of solidarity with Columbia University students from Princeton faculty and staff</a>.” The statement came after student protestors established a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on the lawns of Columbia University, disrupting campus operations, sparking safety concerns, and causing classes to be <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/columbia-university-moves-classes-online-as-pro-palestine-protests-spark-safety-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held remotely</a> for the remainder of the semester.

The statement begins:
“We, Princeton University faculty and staff, affirm our solidarity with and support for the Columbia University and Barnard College students who are continuing to demand that the university divest from Israel’s genocide in Gaza and ongoing occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and other Palestinian land.” 
The signatories have committed to boycotting Columbia University and Barnard College until several demands are met, including:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We call upon the Columbia University administration to reinstate those students who were wrongfully suspended for exercising their constitutionally recognized right to speech and peaceful assembly.”</li>

“The ongoing Israeli assault upon the Gaza Strip must be stopped … The international community must force Israel, Hamas, and all parties to the conflict to adhere strictly to the letter of international law, first and foremost by putting an immediate and complete halt to the unchecked collective punishment currently being deployed against Palestinians in Gaza.” 
The writers further claimed there is a “widespread dehumanization and erasure of Palestinian life in the United States” and that students who voice support for Palestinians are “continuously subjected to harassment, intimidation, imperiled job prospects, and threats to their personal safety.”

The letter concluded by acknowledging the university’s efforts to “reach out to Jewish community members as well as those with Israeli citizenship to check on their well-being.” They then state:
“We find it unacceptable, however, that Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students were not and have not been accorded a similar show of respect and care. We call upon the University administration to do everything in its power to ensure that all Princetonians are recognized and feel safe and seen in this moment of accelerating grief, horror, and outright danger.”

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

In May 2023, Fuentes penned an opinion piece for Scientific American titled “<a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/heres-why-human-sex-is-not-binary/?amp;text=Here%27s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Here’s Why Human Sex Is Not Binary</a>.” He began his article by stating: 
“There are those, politicians, pundits and even a few scientists, who maintain that whether our bodies make ova or sperm are all we need to know about sex. They assert that men and women are defined by their production of these gamete cells, making them a distinct biological binary pair, and that our legal rights and social possibilities should flow from this divide.” 
Fuentes argued that this is “bad science” and that people who believe legal and policy decisions should be made based on sex “are arguing for a specific political, and discriminatory, definition of what is ‘natural’ and ‘right’ for humans based on a false representation of biology.” He went on to claim: 
“Over the past few centuries this process of misrepresentation of biology was, and still is, used to deny women rights and to justify legal and societal misogyny and inequity, to justify slavery, racialization, racism and to enforce multiple forms of discrimination and bias.” 
“Today dishonest ascriptions of what biology is are being deployed to restrict women’s bodily autonomy, target LGBTQIA+ individuals broadly and, most recently, attack the rights of transexual and transgender people.” 
Fuentes concluded his opinion piece: 
“Given what we know about biology across animals and in humans, efforts to represent human sex as binary based solely on what gametes one produces are not about biology but are about trying to restrict who counts as a full human in society.”

Lurie participated in a Columbia University and Barnard College <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/23/over-100-faculty-members-protest-in-rally-to-support-our-students-and-reclaim-our-university/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faculty protest</a> titled “Rally to Support our Students and Reclaim our University” after student protesters took over the lawns of Columbia University in April 2024.

Lurie spoke at the walkout in opposition to the disciplinary actions brought against student protesters:
“We demand that all Barnard College and Columbia University suspensions and charges be dismissed immediately and expunged from students’ records.”
Lurie told the <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/23/aaup-drafts-resolution-of-censure-against-shafik-administration-following-nypd-sweep/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbia Spectator</a> that the AAUP disapproved of Shafik’s response to the protesters and said:
“We want to be really clear that we are not calling for her resignation at this time. We want to work with her. We want her and her administration to turn back from the road that they’ve started down last week, and we’re really eager to partner with them in doing that.”
In a <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wLVMV9z_HGanmpN-9b84Iket-d5VM9VT/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a> issued by the AAUP, titled “Resolution of Censure,” the following criticism was stated of Shafik and her view of the pro-Palestine protests:
“President Shafik falsely claimed that the students who were arrested for protesting on April 18 posed a ‘clear and present danger to the substantial functioning of the University,’ when in fact they ‘were peaceful, offered no resistance whatsoever, and were saying what they wanted to say in a peaceful manner,’ according to the NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell. Her actions have endangered these students’ welfare, and her draconian and disproportionate punishments have endangered their futures.”
Lurie and the AAUP <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bnEhCa6mR7t_82QUf_qpGT7acudoOMIw/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">maintain</a> that Shafik’s termination is not what they desire in their latest press release:
“Unwarranted statements by members of Congress, including calls for President Shafik’s resignation, undermine the traditions of shared governance and academic freedom that have long ensured America’s educational greatness.”

<a href="https://biology.barnard.edu/profiles/hilary-callahan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hilary Callahan</a> is a Professor of Biological Sciences at Barnard College. According to her university profile, Callahan’s “research examines many different features of plants — from roots to flowers to seeds.”

Callahan participated in a Columbia University and Barnard College faculty protest titled “Rally to Support our Students and Reclaim our University” after student protesters took over the lawns of Columbia University. The <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/23/us-news/columbia-professors-slammed-over-grotesque-rally-that-publicly-backed-ivy-league-schools-anti-israel-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> reported, “Scores of professors and staff appeared on the school’s steps to support the right of the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’ to take over campus space and denounce the administration’s decision to have protesters arrested.” 

Callahan spoke at the walkout and compared the student protests to the Scopes Trial in 1924. During the Scopes Trial, an elementary school teacher was tried for teaching evolution at a school in Dayton, Tennessee. According to <a href="https://bwog.com/2024/04/student-workers-and-faculty-hold-walkouts-to-demand-amnesty-for-students-and-faculty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BWOG</a>, “Callahan called the historical event an ‘emblem of how wrong it is to treat teachers as pawns and scapegoats,’” and connected it to the response of Columbia University to the protestation of its pro-Palestine faculty and students. 

Callahan then addressed the crowd with certain demands:
 “We insist on science and factual evidence… on delineating the boundaries between certainty and uncertainty…on honest, open, and difficult discourse,” discourse she claimed were “pathways to a more humane world.” 
Callahan described the university’s response to the protests and encampment as “intemperate and regrettable.” She said her and her associates would “work tirelessly to undo that error.”

According to her faculty profile, Eisterer’s “research focuses on spatial histories of dissidence, feminist, queer, and trans* theory in architecture, as well as the labor of social and ecological movements.”

For the current Princeton spring semester, Eisterer is teaching a <a href="https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?courseid=017728&amp;term=1254" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course</a> titled “Queer Spaces in the World.” 

The course description asks a series of questions about architecture, and proposes gender theory as a way of interpreting architectural spaces: 

“How do sources determine the histories we can tell about architecture, urban space, and the agents that enliven it? How do we reconcile seeming absences and actual acts of erasure that stare back at us from the archive? How can feminist, gender, queer and trans* theory help us chart new avenues for writing critical architectural histories that are attentive to discourses of difference but also narratives of equity?" 

The course further seeks to discover groups and institutions of resistance towards dominant regimes and philosophies: 

“Which methods, beyond conventional modes of architectural inquiry, can we employ to uncover histories of groups and institutions that have actively resisted dominant regimes of power and their corresponding systems of knowledge?”

Eisterer contributes to an Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/queerspaceworkinggroup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">page</a> titled “queerspaceworkinggroup.” The page is described as a “transnational group of queer scholars &amp; architects 🏳️‍🌈 themed &amp; informal conversations about queer space(s).”

The page displays a focus on “queerifying” [sic] architectural spaces. (See image below from Instagram).

<a href="http://humsci.auburn.edu/hdfs/grad/bios/d_corbitt-hall.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Darcy Corbitt-Hall</a> is a professor of Human Development &amp; Family Services at Auburn University. 

In exclusive audio provided to the Watchlist, Corbitt-Hall lectures that he opposes living in a “color-blind” society, asks students to not view the world through a “white lens,” and not to assume that black people can live up to “eurocentric” ideals. 

The student who approached the Watchlist with audio is required to take the course—<a href="https://ssbprod.auburn.edu/pls/PROD/bwckschd.p_disp_detail_sched?term_in=201310&amp;crn_in=12756" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marriage and Family in a Global Context</a>—to graduate from the College of Human Sciences. 

Corbitt-Hall—who identifies as a transgender woman—reportedly requires that his preferred pronouns be used in class and has students memorize a gamut of sexual identities. Despite the title of the course, many lectures are spent discussing race, white privilege, and issues affecting the transgender community. 

In one lecture dated August 29, 2022, Corbitt-Hall claims that our society separates people by race, sexuality, and body type in order to oppress them. Drawing parallels between racism experienced by black people, discrimination faced by Left-handed people, and his own obesity, Corbitt-Hall cites his struggle to fit into an airplane seat as proof that “this world was not designed for people like me.” 
“I will tell you that I am clinically obese and I don’t fit in an airplane seat. I don’t fit into these seats…My entire life is discomfort…because I live in a world that’s designed for thin people…But I can’t help my hand in this anymore than I can help my eye color. Or the color of my skin."

Continuing, he claims that black people have experienced 400 years of stolen wealth, racial prejudice, and structural inequality due to their race. 
“In the United States, 400 years of stolen generational wealth in the form of slavery means the majority of African Americans in this county live in poverty.”

&nbsp;

Corbitt-Hall later clarifies that as a white person, he has never faced problems in his life, but nonetheless continues to “hold white people to account” for their racism.

&nbsp;

Beginning to cry, Corbitt-Hall claims that his ancestors owned slaves and impacted how “black families experienced their world.”

&nbsp;

He explains this is why he opposes living in a color-blind society, as focusing on race is the most effective way to determine how black people live. 
“And so we can’t abandon the study of race. We have to continue studying it because we have to understand how it’s still impacting people…We have to see color, we have to be able to see how (black people) are being treated.”     
&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Corbitt-Hall then urges students not to use a “Euro or white-centric lens” when viewing the world. He explains that black people cannot fit into the “white conceptions” of a nuclear family and two-parent households, and therefore should not be judged by “eurocentric standards.” 
“And so one of the dangers we fall into, one of the traps we fall into if we focus too heavily on the family from a euro or white-centric lens is trying to force families of color into what we consider to be normal or healthy family environment which may or may not work for those groups.”

&nbsp;

Over the next series of lectures, Corbitt-Hall makes a variety of claims regarding sexuality, gender, and body dysphoria. In one, he claims same-sex attraction plays an important “evolutionary role,” and if not for heteronormativity “most would be pansexual.” 

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-Evolutionary-reason-for-gay-relationships.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

In another lecture, Corbitt-Hall claims that chromosomes don’t determine your gender, but society still creates a binary that doesn’t match reality. 

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Corbitt-Hall-2-Society-creates-binary.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Outside of class, Corbitt-Hall is <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ellievhall/alabama-transgender-drivers-license" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suing the state of Alabama</a> for refusing to issue a driver’s license identifying him as female. In an interview with Buzzfeed, Corbitt-Hall—who has not undergone any surgeries during his transition—described Alabama’s definitions of gender as “cruel.” 

‘To really expect someone to alter their bodies to conform to some very rigid, narrow perception of what gender should be is manipulative and cruel…Plenty of transgender people just take hormones, that’s enough for them. They got the characteristics they wanted. They don’t want to change their lower half and shouldn’t have to.”

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Corbitt-Hall but has not received a response prior to publication.

<a href="https://researchdirectory.uc.edu/p/tichavaa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Antar Akari Tichavakunda</a> is an Assistant Professor of Higher Education at the University of Cincinnati. According to his university biography, his research focuses on college readiness, black students’ experiences at predominantly white institutions, and the sociology of race and higher education.

Tichavakunda wrote a June 2022 op-ed for Inside Higher Ed titled, <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2022/06/30/academic-integrity-issues-are-not-race-neutral-opinion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Let’s Talk About Race and Academic Integrity.”</a> In this article, he argues that “Black and Latinx” students are <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=19850" target="_blank" rel="noopener">harmed by exam surveillance, zero-tolerance policies, and fraternities and sororities.</a> He says that proctoring software doesn’t always work correctly for those who have darker skin and that the “algorithms and codes structuring such technologies can perpetuate racial biases and stereotypes.”

Tichavakunda also believes that zero-tolerance plagiarism and academic integrity policies harm “Black and Latinx” students because the people who decide what is considered punishable are not “race-neutral.” He states:
“Decision makers, from faculty members to student conduct officers, hold beliefs about identity that - if uninterrogated - could potentially be racist and discriminatory.” 
Lastly, he claims that test banks, the cheat sheets made for exams by sororities and fraternities, are unfair to minorities because “the members of the oldest organizations with the largest test banks are predominantly white.”

In another Inside Higher Ed op-ed, titled <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/admissions/views/2022/08/22/affirmative-action-probably-dead-whats-next-opinion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Affirmative Action Is Probably Dead: Now What,”</a> he argues that “universities committed to the ideals of racial justice” should require “their applicants to think and act on issues of racial justice.” He suggests that universities could require all applicants to have completed an ethnic studies course or to include a statement of their commitment to racial justice on their application.
“Though universities may soon be denied the ability to consider race in admissions, they can consider a commitment to racial justice as part of a holistic admissions process.” 
Tichavakunda believes that racial injustice is one of the “most pervasive and persistent challenges of our time” and that universities must consider race if they want to be “caretakers of democracy.”

According to <a href="http://mel-andrews.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">her website</a>, she previously taught courses such as “Introduction to Cognitive Studies” and “Medical Ethics.”

Campus Reform reported Andrews wrote on her Twitter that <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=17083" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“intelligence is a White man’s mythology.”</a> In a lengthy thread dated February 23, 2021, Andrews says:

Andrews then attached an <a href="https://twitter.com/bayesianboy/status/1364395418105356288" target="_blank" rel="noopener">excerpt from a chapter</a> she wrote for a book titled “Handbook of Parenting.” In her chapter, she cited works claiming “more than a century of wanton reductionism and definitional vagueness in the study of intelligence and human potential has perpetuated a stratified social order and obscured the true dynamic complexity and diversity of human cognitive development.”

The full Twitter thread <a href="https://twitter.com/bayesianboy/status/1364383079968739333?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1364383079968739333%7Ctwgr%5E36878b6749e7b6e7e41940c97ea815b760b7cf65%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcampusreform.org%2Farticle%3Fid%3D17083" target="_blank" rel="noopener">can be viewed here.</a>

In an interview with Campus Reform, Andrews said, “I was addressing a phenomenon that I have noticed to be common in academic philosophy wherein individuals emphasize the intelligence of minority scholars and students over the quality of the work they produce.”

She added:
“It is the same phenomenon that occurs when a white instructor says to a Black student, in a surprised tone, ‘oh, you’re so articulate!’ It implies an expectation that Black students will be ineloquent. It was not - as is contextually obvious from what I had initially posted - a condemnation of intelligence ascriptions simpliciter.” 
Campus Reform adds that Andrews asked to be referred to as a “Marxist and anarcho-syndicalist” with “they/them/theirs” pronouns.

In 2021, Loadenthal spoke at an“<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRbXNvwSROE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Extremism, Rhetoric and Democratic Precarity</a>” roundtable at the University of Dayton’s “Social Practice of Human Rights Conference.” During this talk, he presented “The Pyramid of Far-Right Radicalization.”

In Loadenthal’s presentation, the descriptive text at the bottom of the picture was not visible. However, his notes visible on the screen read:
“So today we’re talking about the modern far-right, which depending on who you ask, can include things as mundane as the Heritage Foundation, all the way up to underground cells of militants. I like the use of this 4-part taxonomy, although I disagree with some of the groups’ placements.”

“We organized largely through networks - today people would call Antifa, at the time it was known as anti-racist action - to follow white supremacists where they go, to outnumber them, and then to physically confront them and deny them the space to physically meet in public. This is the idea of de-platforming. I worked in that realm for a long time.” 
He also spoke to attendees about how to securely dox people, detailing “how he uses a VPN, burner phones, encrypted communications, and ‘sock puppet’ accounts to dox people.”
“We contact employers, landlords, commanding officers, school officials, family, clergy, and we pressure service providers [PayPal, GoFundMe, Patreon, Amazon etc.] … and people will kick people off.” 
During a question-and-answer portion of the discussion, Loadenthal was asked how people can help his work. He responded, “Donate money…We have defense funds because we get into trouble. A lot of the things we’re doing are illegal…a lot of it involves breaking the law.”

<a href="https://researchdirectory.uc.edu/p/novakdn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vesna Dominika Novak</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Cincinnati. Novak — a male formerly known as Domen — now identifies as female and uses “she/her” pronouns. According to his university profile, Novak’s interests include “rehabilitation robotics, wearable robotics, virtual reality, serious games, affective computing, and human activity recognition.”

In November 2023, Novak and two other researchers received a $213,878 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to create a smartphone app to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/nih-awards-200k-to-researchers-creating-transgender-voice-training-app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">help transgender men sound like women</a>. The <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/search/9hRsKQVyakaKSCkPwM0_gA/project-details/10788947" target="_blank" rel="noopener">project abstract</a> states:
“Transgender and gender diverse people exhibit a significantly lower quality of life than the general public. One reason for this is voice dysphoria: distress because a person’s voice does not match their gender identity (e.g., trans women with deep voices).”
“One way to provide more accessible GAVT (gender-affirming voice and communication training) would be through smartphone- or computer-based software that delivers information about voice, suggests exercises, and provides feedback on exercise performance.” 
The study will <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2024/02/02/biden-admin-trans-voice-app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recruit 40 biological men who identify as transgender</a> to meet online every week, use the researchers’ “prototype” app, and complete homework. The project started in December 2023 and is scheduled to run through November 2025.

In 2022, Novak co-authored a 57-question survey in the <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0892199722000686?dgcid=author" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Journal of Voice</a> that interviewed “transgender and gender-diverse” people. The survey found that participants “were positive about the idea of a [voice training] app and considered it more accessible and less dysphoria-inducing than human coaches as well as more effective than self-guided training.”

After the survey was released, Novak was interviewed by <a href="https://www.uc.edu/news/articles/2022/04/uc-professor-says-transgender-and-gender-diverse-people-may-benefit-from-a-proper-voice-training-app.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UC News</a>, where he stated:
“Voice training is training fundamentally. A lot of people will do it for two hours and give up. It is like weight loss for two hours. You don’t get anything from that. But if you do this long term you will see results. It works if you do it well enough and long enough. Most people can’t figure out how to do it well.”

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.

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. Chase is right, everyone needs to champion trans kids in progressive coalition. Kids can’t outrun seven relentless years alone. <a href="https://t.co/UTael9Kkdx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/UTael9Kkdx</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I believe more than ever that the way to end a child-hating culture where everyone is invested in children suffering is to learn to want there to be trans kids in this world. To relinquish the wish that we selfishly own them. To greet transness not as hypothetical but valuable. <a href="https://t.co/pMqf4Gx5zK" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/pMqf4Gx5zK</a>

<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?!
— Jules Gill-Peterson (@gp_jls) <a href="https://twitter.com/gp_jls/status/1430222843573383169?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">August 24, 2021</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I am certainly heartened that many families do love and champion their trans kids. but I also want a political movement that relieves loving trans kids from a privatized, sentimental and normative politics of the family as bulwark against the various ends of the world underway.
— Jules Gill-Peterson (@gp_jls) <a href="https://twitter.com/gp_jls/status/1430222847675359242?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">August 24, 2021</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

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].”

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:

<a href="https://history.jhu.edu/directory/francois-furstenberg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Francois Furstenberg</a> is a Professor of History and the Director of Undergraduate Studies at the Johns Hopkins University 

On November 6, 2023, the <a href="https://www.cair.com/about_cair/cair-at-a-glance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Council</a> on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) <a href="https://www.cair.com/press_releases/cair-welcomes-hopkins-faculty-letter-calling-for-ceasefire-in-gaza-encourages-faculty-at-other-institutions-to-call-for-ceasefire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an announcement</a> welcoming a letter signed by 24 <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/school/johnshopkins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Johns Hopkins</a> faculty members, including Furstenberg.

The open letter—drafted two weeks after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack against Israel—starts by acknowledging the loss of life on both sides of the conflict. However, the statement of solidarity with Gaza goes on to say:
“...Palestinians in Gaza are being subjected to a draconian collective punishment. We condemn the horrific ongoing violence inflicted on the Palestinian people, and we urgently call for an end to the Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip. The risk of genocide is real.”
