<a href="https://vcresearch.berkeley.edu/faculty/nancy-scheper-hughes">Nancy Scheper-Hughes</a> is the Chancellor’s Professor Emerita in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkely. Her university biography <a href="https://vcresearch.berkeley.edu/faculty/nancy-scheper-hughes">states</a> that Scheper-Hughes approaches her work through a “politically engaged perspective” to examine “structural and political violence.”

Anti-Second Amendment 
Immediately following the Pulse nightclub shooting, in which a Muslim man who pledged allegiance to ISIS <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/multiple-injuries-shooting-orlando-nightclub-police/story?id=39789552">entered Pulse, a gay nightclub, and opened fire, killing 50 individuals</a>, Scheper-Hughes <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160621134259/http://blogs.berkeley.edu/2016/06/19/radical-evil-a-reflection-on-the-orlando-massacre/">published</a> an article on the Berkeley Blog, a university website, to reflect on the events of the previous evening, titled, Radical evil: A reflection on the Orlando massacre.
In her article, Hughes <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160621134259/http://blogs.berkeley.edu/2016/06/19/radical-evil-a-reflection-on-the-orlando-massacre/">describes</a> the Pulse nightclub as a “sacred space” that was attacked by a man she describes as “radically evil.” However, she then blames the killings on hate speech of the “trumpers&#8221; and the <a href="https://home.nra.org/">National Rifle Association</a>.
Referring to the Second Amendment in the post, Scheper-Hughes <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160621134259/http://blogs.berkeley.edu/2016/06/19/radical-evil-a-reflection-on-the-orlando-massacre/">states</a> that we have “failed as a democracy” to let “one amendment trump” all other amendments, leading to killings like the one in Orlando. She alleges that massacres throughout American history are typically committed by “orthodox conservatives” that suffer from a &#8220;perversity of heart.&#8221;

Censorship
In mid-2017, the Berkely College Republicans <a href="https://twitter.com/BerkeleyCRs/status/884816647546064896">announced</a> on the group&#8217;s Twitter account that they would host popular commentator Ben Shapiro. In an article for the website, CounterPunch, Scheper-Hughes <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/09/13/the-great-wall-of-uc-berkeley-vs-baby-face-shapiro/">decries</a> the decision to host Shapiro at the university, describing him as a “smart aleck, wisecracking, racist, sexist, misogynist, Islamophobic jerk.” She goes on to describe Shapiro as a “very dangerous, extremely controversial, physical threat” to Berkeley’s student body.
Scheper-Hughes further <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/09/13/the-great-wall-of-uc-berkeley-vs-baby-face-shapiro/">describes</a> Ben Shapiro in her article as a member of the “alt-light” that engages in hate speech. Hughes states that the First Amendment is a “work in progress” and that the amendment is “ignorant” and inadequately able to combat “hate speech.”

University of California-Berkeley

<a href="https://ethnicstudies.berkeley.edu/people/hatem-bazian/">Hatem Bazian</a> is a professor of Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the <a href="https://zaytuna.edu/academics/faculty/hatem-bazian">co-founder and assistant professor </a>at Zaytuna College, which is the only accredited American college in which the curriculum is based on Islamic fundamentals. Bazian’s resume is littered with antisemitic and pro-terror incidents, both on and off-campus.

When attending San Francisco State University, Bazian accused the student newspaper of being <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/19590/profiles-in-hate-hatem-bazian">infiltrated by “Jewish spies</a>,” and allegedly denied Jewish students jobs while serving as Student Body President, claiming their support of Israel exhibited their racism.

Bazian’s activism grew more militant with time. At an Islamic conference in 1999, he was quoted by the Detroit Free Press reciting an Islamic Hadith <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/8865/hatem-bazian-personal-story">calling for the slaughter of Jews</a>.
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2093" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-05-27T110304.469-e1653674626458-1024x506.png" alt="" width="450" height="223" />
After 79 members of Students for Justice in Palestine were arrested for disrupting a Holocaust memorial, Bazian asserted that the university's actions were racially motivated. During the subsequently organized protests, Bazain <a href="https://www.jweekly.com/2018/10/22/berkeley-city-councils-shameful-tolerance-of-anti-semitism/">insinuated that powerful Jews controlled the University and orchestrated the arrests</a>.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-986" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-25-e1606771551100-1024x312.png" alt="" width="450" height="137" />

Bazian’s thinly veiled antisemitism is seamlessly <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Hatem_Bazian">interlaced with his anti-Israel demagoguery</a>. A proponent of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement,  Bazian has called for the dismantlement of the state of Israel and has praised the terrorist group Hamas. Bazian <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mfv5yaKxNgo&amp;ab_channel=HamasOnCampus">openly called for a domestic insurrection</a> within America. Calling the crowd to arms at a 2003 anti-war rally, Bazian called for an “Intifada” to start in America.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2094" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-05-27T110636.459-e1653674828851-1024x532.png" alt="" width="450" height="234" />

The Intifada was then in the midst of its third year of blood-soaked carnage in Israel. Before it abated in 2006, <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/comprehensive-listing-of-terrorism-victims-in-israel">over one thousand men, women, and children would perish</a> from sniper fire and suicide attacks on buses, markets, and restaurants. The most gruesome attacks included the <a href="https://www.algemeiner.com/2020/10/26/what-the-ramallah-lynchings-taught-us-about-palestinian-incitement/">public lynching and disembowelment of two Israeli soldiers</a>, and the <a href="https://www.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/18-years-after-sbarro-suicide-attack-pa-has-paid-910823-to-the-culprits-598106">bombing of a Sbarro pizzeria</a>, killing 15 civilians, including 7 children and a pregnant woman.

Extending to the classroom and beyond, Bazian has co-founded two anti-Israel groups: <a href="https://canarymission.org/organization/SJP">Students for Justice in Palestine</a> (SJP), and American Muslims for Palestine (AMP).

Bazian co-founded SJP with fellow professor <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/snehalshingavi">Snehal Shingavi</a> in 2001 in solidarity with Palestinian groups, as the Intifada raged in Israel. The group is known for its belligerent tactics and hostility towards Jewish and pro-Israel students on campus. SJP openly calls for the destruction of Israel and has never been shy about their support for Hamas. <a href="https://canarymission.org/individual/Azka_Fayyaz">A student senator and member of SJP</a> at UC Davis <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/new-film-depicts-jewish-students-growing-insecurity-on-campus/">welcomed “Hamas and sharia law"</a> to campus.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SF2qAJl65k&amp;ab_channel=CanaryMission">American Muslims for Palestine</a>, of which Bazian serves as Chairman, is rooted in the now-defunct Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP). Facing scrutiny by the federal government over its ties to overseas jihadist groups, IAP ceased operations in 2003 to avoid prosecution. Many of the staff then <a href="https://docs.house.gov/meetings/FA/FA18/20160419/104817/HHRG-114-FA18-Wstate-SchanzerJ-20160419.pdf">reconstituted under the new banner of AMP with Bazian as Chairman</a>. Screenshots from IAP’s former website show that the group openly encouraged Islamic terrorism and what can only be described as ethnic cleansing of Jews.

Bazian is a tenured professor at one of the world’s most prestigious colleges. Tens of thousands of students have passed through his classroom while accruing many thousands more in debt, over his many decades in academia. His radicalism isn’t hidden—Bazian has openly embraced and preached the most radical, violent, and bigoted positions imaginable and sought to inspire future leaders with those same values.

<a href="https://jewishstudies.berkeley.edu/people/ron-hendel/">Dr. Ronald Hendel</a> is a Professor of the Hebrew Bible and Jewish Studies at the University of California-Berkeley. At the beginning of Hendel’s class, titled “Jewish Civilization I: The Biblical Period,” he told students not to take his class if they think the Bible is infallible. After one student started questioning and challenging him, Hendel told the student “If you disagree with the approach we use, that’s an F.”

<a href="http://rhetoric.berkeley.edu/faculty-profile/james-i-porter-1">Dr. James Porter</a>, a Professor of Rhetoric at the University of California, Berkely and formerly of the University of California, Irvine, was one of 60 professors who supported the ban of the American flag from an "inclusive" area at UC Irvine. He signed a letter claiming that the American flag is a symbol of nationalism and racism.

<a href="https://ethnicstudies.berkeley.edu/people/ramon-grosfoguel-1/">Ramon Grosfoguel</a> is an associate professor of Chicano and Latino Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. According to his university biography, Grosfoguel also specializes in decoloniality and the study of Islamophobia.

Grosfoguel is notable for his vocal opposition to the state of Israel and support for BDS. In an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu1PCTNGgB8&amp;ab_channel=IHRCtv">interview</a> with the Islamic Human Rights Commission during Al-Quds Day (an <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/on-quds-day-irans-leader-says-zionism-a-virus-that-must-be-eliminated/">Iranian holiday</a> dedicated to the destruction of Israel) not only did he claim that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians, but that Israel is a threat to peace across the world. Grosfoguel claimed that Israel is infiltrating nations and aligning itself with openly fascist organizations in order to strangle freedom of speech.

Grosfoguel also claims that Jews <a href="https://www.okcir.com/Articles%20VII%202/Grosfoguel-FM.pdf">cynically use the Holocaust</a> to elicit sympathy from the world in order to commit atrocities against Arabs;

“The simplistic identity politics of the Holocaust hegemonic narrative that essentialized Jewish identity as homogenous eternal victims and always intentionally innocent ended with Gaza.”   

“These simplistic and reductionist narratives about the Holocaust and Jewish identity were exploited by the Zionists for the last 60 years to legitimate their fundamentalist Jewish state built upon the practices and methods of settler colonialism against the Palestinians.”                  

“Hitlerism as a continuation of colonial racist ideology came back to hunt Palestinians this time at the hands of European Jews who ironically were escaping from the Nazi Holocaust.” 

“...the Holocaust was always manipulated, abused, and institutionalized by the Israeli settler colonialist state from its foundation in 1948 until today to justify its colonial domination, expansion, and terror.”

Grosfoguel specializes in anti-colonial rhetoric. Rather than a past vestige, Grosfoguel maintains that colonialism is an ongoing attempt by Western nations—particularly Israel and the United States, to maintain dominance throughout the world. Grosfoguel lectures that the capitalistic, Christian-centered West is able to bleed poorer nations dry to maintain their wealth. He claims that Christianity itself has given rise to genocides around the world, as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z8ISZolAMw&amp;ab_channel=IHRCtv=2m4s">“pre-modern” societies were far more peaceful</a> than modern, Western nations.

To Grosfoguel, the concept of human rights is a Western farce that is used to justify foreign invasions. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7jFaJf-aVE&amp;ab_channel=IHRCtv=9m46s">He has claimed</a> that America is a “rogue state” that has murdered upwards of 70 million people.

“Here comes the quintessential rogue state in the world, USA, calling other nations rogue states….This is really amazing, because this country, the last 60 years, has killed more than 70 million people.”  

In the same lecture, he held nothing back when grotesquely claiming that former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7jFaJf-aVE&amp;ab_channel=IHRCtv=7m0s">should have been put to death</a> alongside Sadam Hussein for his crimes as an imperialist:

“So Donald Rumsfield should have been sitting alongside Sadam Hussein and been judged, ok? And been hanged together with him.”  

Grosfoguel travels frequently to speak about his views on decolonization and is renowned among the Left for his views on the subject. In 2018, he was invited to deliver <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pwX2ZQl0C0&amp;t=3173s&amp;ab_channel=LuiginoBracciRoa-Situaci%C3%B3nenVenezuela">opening remarks</a> addressing this topic at a Caracas-based conference hosted by Nicholas Maduro. Grosfoguel was well received at the conference and can be seen warmly greeting the dictator below.

<a href="https://ethnicstudies.berkeley.edu/people/keith-feldman-1/">Keith Feldman</a> is a head graduate advisor and an associate professor of Comparative Ethnic Studies at the University of California-Berkeley.

Speaking before the Berkeley-based conference Critical Discourses on Islamophobia, Feldman reserved most of his speech to criticize Barack Obama for killing jihadists. Labeling the administration’s <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/20132/uc-berkeley-and-the-islamophobia-lobby">use of drones to eliminate terrorists as Islamaphobic</a>—or what he termed as “racialization from above—he asked, “What happens when Islamophobia takes to the skies?”

Feldman compared the death of Osama bin Laden to a Jim Crow-era lynching. As he was describing his killing as the “residue of late nineteenth-century colonial settler violence,” Feldman <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/20132/uc-berkeley-and-the-islamophobia-lobby">displayed a black lynching victim in the background to serve as an analogy to his death.</a>

In 2015 while discussing his book, <a href="https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/a-shadow-over-palestine">A Shadow Over Palestine</a>, he claimed that <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/22864/berkeley-prof-race-in-america-is-like-occupation">American ghettos are akin to the Warsaw ghetto</a> during the Holocaust, which itself is akin to modern-day Palestinian refugee camps.

Feldman’s book praises the <a href="https://www.meforum.org/7244/a-radical-romance-with-the-palestinians">United World Conference Against Racism</a> held in Durban, South Africa. <a href="https://www.jpost.com/opinion/op-ed-contributors/durban-and-911-ten-years-later">The gathering is notorious for its antisemitism</a>, with vendors <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/durban-i-un-conference-against-racism-2001">selling the conspiratorial</a> ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zion’ and displaying banners that read ‘What if Hitler Had Won?’ Feldman praises this conference for uniting “hundreds” of NGOs to declare that “Zionism is racism.”

<a href="https://gse.berkeley.edu/zeus-leonardo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Zeus Leonardo</a> is a Professor in the<a href="https://gse.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Graduate School of Education</a> at the University of <a href="https://www.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California-Berkeley</a>. According to his university profile, Dr. Leonardo’s courses include: “Race, Whiteness Studies, and Education” and “Proseminar: Social Critique of Education.” Much of Dr. Leonardo’s work utilizes critical race theory to analyze areas such as race, class, culture, and gender in education.

Dr. Leonardo is also listed as an Affiliated Faculty Member of the Critical Theory Designated Emphasis at UC Berkeley. As part of the Graduate School of Education, the program explores the “<a href="https://gse.berkeley.edu/academics/ma-and-phd-programs/critical-studies-race-class-and-gender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">root causes and effects of white supremacy and settler colonialism in education</a>,” according to the official website.

Upon completion, those enrolled will earn a certification of “Designated Emphasis and Specialization in Critical Theory.” The university flaunts critical theory’s association with the Frankfurt School of Economics on its website. The Frankfurt School of Economics was <a href="https://www.heritage.org/sites/default/files/2020-12/BG3567.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">composed of openly Marxist economists whose writings eventually formed the basis for critical race theory</a>.

<a href="http://criticaltheory.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The page prominently hosts a picture of Angela Davis</a> alongside the post-modernist, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/herbert-marcuse-the-philosopher-behind-the-ideology-of-the-anti-fascists/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Herbert Marcuse</a>. Davis was a member of the Leninist-Black Panther Party as well as the <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/topten-history/hires_images/FBI-309-AngelaYvonneDavis.jpg/viewhttps://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/topten-history/hires_images/FBI-309-AngelaYvonneDavis.jpg/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives</a> list for her role in the shooting deaths of four during the Marin County Civic Center Attacks.

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. Leonardo has additionally published a number of other articles on critical race theory, race, and education. These include titles such as, “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/23793406.2016.1167111?journalCode=rree20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tropics of Whiteness</a>,” “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01596306.2013.822624" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Story of Schooling: Critical Theory and the Educational Racial Contract</a>,” and, “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13613320120117180" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Souls of White Folk</a>.” Another is titled, “<a href="https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9780203880371/race-whiteness-education-zeus-leonardo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race, Whiteness, and Education</a>,” in which he affirms the “central role” racism plays in society.

Dr. Leonardo declares racism to be systematic rather than based on individuals and must be addressed as such. He outlines the paper’s intent to interrupt this “dangerous” assertion in order to confront “whiteness” and racism in education. Further, in the same paper, Dr. Leonardo advocates the blending of Marxism and whiteness studies to understand racism. He then addresses the “myth” that whites do not think of themselves exclusively along with racial terms and that capitalism has spread “whiteness” across the globe.

In a separate lecture, Dr. Leonardo lauds critical race theory in even more explicit terms. In a lecture titled, “Who is afraid of CRT?” hosted at George Washington University, the event was <a href="https://gwtoday.gwu.edu/who%E2%80%99s-afraid-critical-race-theory-and-what-exactly-it-anyway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">marketed as an examination of “critical race theory, marxism, and whiteness studies</a>”.

In the lecture, Dr. Leonardo states the intent of his work in whiteness studies is to solve the problem of “whiteness” itself.

“In whiteness studies, whiteness is  the problem to be posed, if not solved.”

In another clip–captured by the Twitter user, <a href="https://twitter.com/MythinformedMKE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mythinformed MYKE</a>—Dr. Leonardo states, “whites are not born white,” rather, they are “abused’ by their white parents and raised that way.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Recommended reading from the professor of education at Berkeley includes concepts such as “white people are not born white”.

<a href="https://www.law.berkeley.edu/our-faculty/faculty-profiles/khiara-bridges/#tab_profile" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Khiara Bridges</a> is a <a href="https://www.law.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of California-Berkeley Law Professor</a>, critical race theorist, and an advocate for abortion. She has further claimed that men can give birth and has refused to say whether unborn babies are worthy of dignity.

Dr. Bridges condemned the Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.—<a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/19-1392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dobbs V. Jackson Women’s Health Organization</a>—as an <a href="https://news.berkeley.edu/2022/06/24/khiara-m-bridges-court-abortion-ruling-is-an-assault-on-women-and-democracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“assault” against both women and democracy.</a> Dr. Bridges further alleged that <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/video/californians-express-outrage-over-roe-163817289.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banning abortion is a form of racism</a>:

“When you have a law that makes abortion unavailable, you have a law that makes unavailable a service upon which Black people disproportionately rely, so there’s a specific racial impact.”

Since the 1973 ruling, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/since-roe-abortion-has-killed-more-black-babies-than-the-entire-black-population-of-the-u-s-in-1960" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an estimated 20 million black children have been murdered via abortion</a>.

Speaking before a <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?521318-1/senate-judiciary-committee-hearing-abortion-access-law" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate hearing</a> regarding abortion policy, Dr. Bridges refused to address John Cornyn’s (R-Texas) question regarding disproportionate rates of black abortion. She again refused to answer when asked if an unborn baby has any value.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Cornyn: "Do you think a baby delivered alive has value?"
Demo abortion witness: "Yes."

Cornyn: "Do you think that a baby that is not yet born has value?"

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

During her testimony, Dr. Bridges referenced “persons with the capacity for pregnancy” when speaking about individuals who sought abortions. When questioned by Senator Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) if she was referring to pregnant women, Dr. Bridges replied that she was referring to all “cis-women, trans-men, and non-binary people.”

When further pressed if abortion is a women’s rights issue, Dr. Bridges accused Hawley of asking questions that exposed “trans people to violence.”

Dr. Bridges then asked Hawley if he believes that men can become pregnant. Astonished, Hawley replied, “No, I don’t think men can get pregnant,” she further accused him of denying that trans people exist.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Hawley: Why are you using the term "person with a capacity for pregnancy" instead of "woman?"
Bridges: "Your line of questioning is transphobic and opens trans people to violence."

Hawley: "You're saying I'm opening up people to violence by saying women can have pregnancies?" <a href="https://t.co/eYaOYumYSJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pic.twitter.com/Yi46NlQCr0</a>

Dr. Heather Cox Richardson is a <a href="https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/mcas/departments/history/people/faculty-directory/heather-cox-richardson.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of History</a> at Boston College. Her area of interest is nineteenth-century American history, which she teaches at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Dr. Richardson has <a href="https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/to-make-men-free-a-history-of-the-republican-party_heather-cox-richardson/8911738/#edition=59242139&amp;idiq=45881792" target="_blank" rel="noopener">written several books</a>, including To Make Men Free: a History of the Republican Party and How the South Won the Civil War.
When Dr. Richardson isn’t teaching or writing books on American history, she is making political comments to journalists. <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/11/biden-needs-an-enemy/620778/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In an article</a> for The Atlantic by Molly Jong-Fast titled “Biden Needs an Enemy,” Dr. Richardson suggested that President Biden declare war on conservatives.
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-1925" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-29-at-9.24.00-AM.png" alt="" width="500" height="257" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-29-at-9.24.00-AM.png 882w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-29-at-9.24.00-AM-300x154.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-29-at-9.24.00-AM-768x395.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />
Jong-Fast further clarified that Dr. Richardson believes that Biden should wage war on Republicans in order to combat what Dr. Richardson considers to be ‘authoritarian overreach.’
In December of 2021, Dr. Richardson <a href="https://www.milwaukeeindependent.com/heather-richardson/fear-legitimacy-political-agenda-deny-democracy-igniting-culture-wars/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">penned an article</a> for Milwaukee Independent titled “A Fear of Legitimacy: When the Only Political Agenda is to Deny Democracy by Igniting Culture Wars.” In the piece, Dr. Richardson accuses conservatives of focusing on culture wars rather than using their power to fight for positive changes.
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-1926" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-29-at-9.27.04-AM.png" alt="" width="500" height="186" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-29-at-9.27.04-AM.png 944w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-29-at-9.27.04-AM-300x112.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-29-at-9.27.04-AM-768x286.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />
Dr. Richardson claims that Democrats and liberals are not advocating for socialism or communism, but rather the government “regulate business, provide a basic social safety net, and promote infrastructure projects that are too big or unprofitable for private industry.”  She continues by alleging that conservatives “double down” on the idea that the election was stolen by the Socialist Left and are hypocritical in their claims.
Dr. Richardson often writes in her blog about current events and politics in her free time. On November 30, 2021, Dr. Richardson claimed the U.S. economy was “booming.” The blog post outlines how unemployment rates are the lowest they have been since 1969. Dr. Richardson makes these claims with little legitimate evidence to back them up &#8211; her sources are limited to a <a href="https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1465492526513725442" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris tweet</a>, Business Insider articles, and posts from the New York Times.

<a href="https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/mcas/departments/theology/people/faculty-directory/natana-delong-bas.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Natana J. Delong-Bas</a> is an Associate Professor of Practice in the <a href="https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web/schools/mcas/departments/theology.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Theology Department</a> at <a href="https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston College</a>. Much of her scholarship focuses on the Koran and women's rights under Islamic law. Dr. Delong-Bas is further known for her strident defenses of Islam as a religion of peace, even going so far as denying al-Qaeda's role in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

A significant aspect of her research and her publications concentrate on Wahhabism, a conservative sect of Islam whose adherents are known for their strict interpretation of Koranic Law. In addition to claiming <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLWWopyMzxQ&amp;ab_channel=PulitzerCenter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">that Islam has no connection to religious violence and extremism</a>, she declares <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/10775/natana-delong-bas-american-professor-wahhabi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wahhabism—in its true form—has no connection to violent, Islamist extremism</a> when it occurs.

<a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/testimony/47.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wahhabism</a> emerged as a puritanical sect of Islam in the 18th century. Adherents—who are referred to as “Salafists”—seek to purify any sect or branch of Islam that does not adopt the 7-century practices and teaching of the Prophet Mohammed, including the practice of waging jihad.

Many jihadist movements adhere to and base their ideology on Wahhabism. In addition to serving as the official state religion of Saudi Arabia, Osama Bin Laden and the 9/11 hijackers were adherents to this extremist sect. Al-Qaeda, as well as its sister organizations like <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/21335" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas and ISIS, all base their ideology and practices on Wahhabism</a>.

Due to her strident defenses of Islam and Wahhabism, Dr. Delong-Bas is a frequent visitor and guest of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where she adorns a full burka out of “respect” for Saudi culture.

In an interview with a Saudi newspaper, she denied that any extremist movements in the Middle East had any connection to Islam, but instead argued <a href="https://www.memri.org/reports/american-professor-natana-delong-bas-%E2%80%98i-do-not-find-any-evidence-would-make-me-agree-osama" target="_blank" rel="noopener">that support of Israel is the root cause of terrorism against the West</a>,

“The political conditions in the Islamic world, like the Palestinian issue, which has lasted 60 years, [the issue of] Iraq, and the American government's tying [the hands of] the U.N. [and preventing it] from adopting any resolution against Israel, have definitely added to the Muslim youth's state of frustration, which then pushes them to - as they understand it - help their brothers do away with the aggression against them, in the various Islamic countries”

When the interviewer asked directly whether or not Osama Bin Laden was involved in the terrorist attacks on 9/11, she explicitly denied his involvement, stating that there was “no proof” that he participated in the attack.

In December of 2021, Dr. Richardson <a href="https://www.milwaukeeindependent.com/heather-richardson/fear-legitimacy-political-agenda-deny-democracy-igniting-culture-wars/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">penned an article</a> for Milwaukee Independent titled “A Fear of Legitimacy: When the Only Political Agenda is to Deny Democracy by Igniting Culture Wars.” In the piece, Dr. Richardson accuses conservatives of focusing on culture wars rather than using their power to fight for positive changes.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1926" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-29-at-9.27.04-AM.png" alt="" width="500" height="186" />

Dr. Richardson claims that Democrats and liberals are not advocating for socialism or communism, but rather the government “regulate business, provide a basic social safety net, and promote infrastructure projects that are too big or unprofitable for private industry.”  She continues by alleging that conservatives “double down” on the idea that the election was stolen by the Socialist Left and are hypocritical in their claims.

Dr. Richardson often writes in her blog about current events and politics in her free time. On November 30, 2021, Dr. Richardson claimed the U.S. economy was “booming.” The blog post outlines how unemployment rates are the lowest they have been since 1969. Dr. Richardson makes these claims with little legitimate evidence to back them up - her sources are limited to a <a href="https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1465492526513725442" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris tweet</a>, Business Insider articles, and posts from the New York Times.

Amin Husain

<a href="https://gallatin.nyu.edu/people/faculty/amh20.html">Amin Husain</a> is a part-time faculty member at New York University and the Pratt Institute. According to the university’s website, Husain’s work focuses on “resistance and liberation, movement generated theory and practice.”
Husain is also confounded and directs the NYC-based activist group, “<a href="https://decolonizethisplace.org/">Decolonize This Place</a>” (DTP).  According to their website, DTP events center around “Indigenous Struggle, Black Liberation, Free Palestine, Global Wage Workers, and De-Gentrification.”
Husain and DTP are known for their extreme rhetoric and aggressive confrontations with law enforcement. Husain and DTP utilize ANTIFA style-tactics during protests. The <a href="https://decolonizethisplace.org/">homepage</a> of DTP regularly features videos of burning police vehicles.
Prior to the Museum of Natural History’s decision to remove their statue of Theodore Roosevelt, Husain joined a chorus of activists demanding that the statue be removed. DTP itself <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5e0c57d86cc9226827c754/t/5ee7ad184833d0007a2078fd/1592241433767/How+To+Take+Down+A+Monument_Poster.jpg">posted</a> a detailed graphic with instructions on toppling statues.
In January, DTP posted the following graphic for an upcoming <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=14391">protest</a> against the NYP. The damage from the protests led by Husain resulted in 13 arrests and over $100,000 in <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/02/15/nyu-professor-founded-anarchist-group-that-attacked-subways-last-month/">damages</a> to the NYC subway system.
As a member of NYC Solidarity With Palestine, Husain is known for using his position to entwine his anti-police and anti-Israel views. Husain projected his radicalism at the June “No To Annexation” rally, hosted by the anti-Israel group <a href="https://www.wolpalestine.com/about">Within Our Lifetimes</a>.

New York University

<a href="https://med.nyu.edu/faculty/arthur-l-caplan">Arthur Caplan</a> is the Dr. William F. and Virginia Connolly Mitty Professor of Bioethics at New York University (NYU) and Director of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU.

&nbsp;
Censorship
As <a href="http://www.campusreform.org/?ID=6690">reported</a> by Campus Reform, Caplan compares Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign to the rise of Adolf Hitler.

In the weeks following Donald Trump’s <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trump-announces-2016-presidential-campaign-make-country/story?id=31799741">announcement</a> that he would seek the 2016 Republican nomination, Caplan writes in <a href="https://www.poynter.org/reporting-editing/2015/commentary-the-danger-of-laughing-at-donald-trump/">Poynter, </a> a non-profit journalism and research center, that news organizations must hold Trump and the Republican party accountable “for the damage [Trump] does.” Caplan characterizes Trump’s views as racist and legitimizing of those American citizens who fear changing demographics.

While acknowledging that he views Trump’s chances as winning the nomination for the presidency unlikely, Kaplan draws parallels between Trump's campaign and the unexpected rise of Hitler in Germany.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1176 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-11T135453.240-e1615496377900-1024x345.png" alt="" width="580" height="195" />

Caplan further states in the same article that Trump is dangerous and that his speech is a classic ploy to generate fear and sow divisiveness.  Caplan urges journalists to treat more seriously the “danger” that Trump poses. Caplan accuses Trump of characterizing Mexicans as being criminals, rapists, and carrying diseases. Caplan says that these characterizations are similar to the rhetorical tactics used by the Nazi party against the Jews.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1177 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-11T140031.352-e1615496458532-1024x276.png" alt="" width="580" height="156" />

Despite his comparisons of Trump to Hitler, Caplan <a href="http://www.bioethics.net/2005/07/misusing-the-nazi-analogy/">argued</a> against the use of Nazi analogies to describe other people or political movements. In an article for bioethics.net, Caplan <a href="http://www.bioethics.net/2005/07/misusing-the-nazi-analogy/">states</a> that often those who draw analogies in arguments to Nazis, “do not know what they are talking about.”

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1178 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-11T140208.462-e1615496552778-1024x440.png" alt="" width="580" height="249" />

In the same article, Kaplan states that it is “ethically incumbent” on those who use these analogies to understand the history behind the Nazis, and not to diminish the horror of their atrocities. Kaplan describes the “cavalier” use of these analogies as “unethical.”

<a href="http://gallatin.nyu.edu/people/faculty/flr207.html">Dr. Frank Roberts</a>, a professor at New York University, warned of “Jewish elites” controlling the media, a favorite trope of anti-Semites.  He tweeted “Its crucial for the public to realize that NBC/MSNBC,The NYTimes,US News &amp; World Report, &amp; the NY Daily News are all owned by Jewish elites” and “Speaking out against Israel's massacre &amp; Jewish elites' monopoly of the American free press is not anti-Semitic. #Gaza, #Flotilla, #OilSpill.”

<a href="http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/faculty/Mark_Crispin_Miller">Dr. Mark Crispin Miller</a>, a professor at New York University warned that President Bush was spreading propaganda in order to form a theocracy in the United States. He also compared Bush to Hitler, saying “All the major war-drives in modern history... in Germany, in the Soviet Union, and in the Middle East -- have been impelled by people who believed that they were at risk, that they were being persecuted, that they faced annihilation. Hitler actually believed that 'world Jewry' threatened Germany, and that his bloody enterprise was a means of self-defense against the Jews. We know all too well that al-Qaeda's people universally regard the Jews and Christians as plotting to wipe out Islam. And the Christo-fascist types now in control of the United States believe that they're the victims of non-Christians."

<a href="https://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/faculty/ulrich-c-baer.html">Dr. Ulrich Baer</a> is a Professor of Comparative Literature at New York University. He wrote an editorial in the New York Times supporting the suppression of free speech on college campuses. He claimed "The idea of freedom of speech does not mean a blanket permission to say anything anybody thinks. It means balancing the inherent value of a given view with the obligation to ensure that other members of a given community can participate in discourse as fully recognized members of that community."

<a href="https://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/faculty/ruth-ben-ghiat.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Ruth Ben-Ghiat</a> is a Professor of Italian and History at <a href="https://as.nyu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York University</a>. Her <a href="https://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/faculty/ruth-ben-ghiat.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">professional biography lists her as an expert on fascism, authoritarianism, war, propaganda, and Donald Trump.</a> She is the author of the book, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Strongmen-Mussolini-Present-Ruth-Ben-Ghiat/dp/1324001542" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Strongman: From Mussolini to the Present</a>,” and frequently makes appearances on CNN and MSNBC.

Dr. Ben-Ghiat frequently criticizes conservatives, characterizing them as violent and an outright threat to democracy. She additionally alleges that supporters of the second-amendment birthed a culture that directly resulted in the January 6th “insurrection.”

In an article for CNN—titled, “Parental control is a smokescreen tactic for right-wing activists”—Dr. Ben-Ghiat <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/14/opinions/parental-control-smoke-screen-right-wing-activists-ben-ghiat/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denounces parents who object to COVID-19 restrictions in schools</a>.

She is referring to <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/orange-county-parents-protest-vaccine-mandates-at-school-board-meeting/ar-AAPZFid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nation-wide protests occurring at county and district school boards</a>. Peaking during the Fall 2021 semester, parents with <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/education/2021/11/03/virginia-parents-democrats-crt-transgender-policies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">school-age children are vocally objecting to mandatory masking, COVID-19 vaccinations, and curriculum containing elements of critical race theory.</a> The epicenter of protests against county school boards stemmed from Loudon County, which saw Board Members <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/10/27/loudoun-county-parents-demand-resignations-over-sexual-assault/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allegedly participate in a cover-up of a sexual assault in a local high school.</a>

Users can learn more about <a href="https://www.schoolboardwatchlist.org/districts/loudoncountypublicschools" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Loudon County and other school boards by visiting TPUSA’s School Board Watchlist</a>.

Dr. Ben-Ghiat describes these parents as elements of the “authoritarian culture” that is eroding democracy. She specifically cites their opposition to mandatory masking and vaccination of children, alleging it stems from a “Q-Anon” belief.

She states that “anti-vaccine militants” and “white-christian evangelicals” are using “parental rights” as a smokescreen to abolish private education. She decries parents allegedly “censoring” books that would teach children about the “centrality of racism and slavery” to this country’s founding. She further criticizes calls for parental control in education, describing it as the installation of “authoritarian culture” in towns and local school boards.

In a separate article for the Washington Post—titled,”<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/10/26/gun-violence-authoritarianism-normalization/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">America’s Gun Culture is Priming Us for Authoritarianism</a>,”—Dr. Ben-Ghiat alleges the Capitol Riots are the inevitable result of an armed citizenry.

She is referring to the incident surrounding January 6, 2021 at the Capital <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/02/09/965472049/the-capitol-siege-the-arrested-and-their-stories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in which a number of protestors breached the Capitol’s Doors during certification of the 2020 Presidential Election</a>, some violently so. Despite claims to the contrary, even the FBI has determined that <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/fbi-confirms-there-was-no-insurrection-on-january-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no evidence exists that any rioters coordinated to commit an “insurrection.</a>”

Dr. Ben-Ghiat alleges that general access to lethal weapons enables “mass death” and a “democratic decline” in America. She bizarrely connects the January 6th “insurrection” to civilian ownership of firearms, alleging the later enables “mass death” and desensitizes others to human life.

Dr. Ben-Ghiat further alleges that gun owners are willing to harm others in exchange for their freedoms, alleging that no loss of life seems to deter them:

She then connects gun ownership to a rise of fascism in America, alleging that dictators controlled masses through a climate of fear and mass death. She states that gun owners are using this same formula to encourage “fundamentalist and cult ideologies'':

In April of 2020, <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/157505/morbid-ideology-behind-drive-reopen-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lowndes published an article</a> in the New Republic bashing conservative officials and citizens alike for their “dangerous views” on COVID-19. In the article, he accuses conservatives in the U.S. House of Representatives of being “pathological” for their refusal to wear masks when voting on the coronavirus relief bill. He also claims conservatives only want the country to remain open to “keep the current wealth stratifications in place and protect the rich from economic harm.”
Many articles and research publications written during lockdowns detailed how <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/13/business/small-businesses-coronavirus.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">small businesses would simply not be able to survive</a> if they continued to be locked down. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/covid-19s-toll-on-u-s-business-200-000-extra-closures-in-pandemics-first-year-11618580619" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal</a> noted that roughly 200,000 businesses permanently closed because of the pandemic. Lockdowns also caused many people in the United States to lose their jobs &#8211; approximately 9.6 million Americans were let go in 2020 due to COVID-19.

<a href="http://sociology.uoregon.edu/profile/jfoster/">Dr. John Bellamy Foster</a> is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Oregon and editor of the Marxist magazine "Monthly Review.” He advocates a “red-green” alliance to abolish capitalism and considers the collapse of the Soviet empire a setback for human progress. Foster advocates what he calls "the socialization of nature,” explaining that "the more that nature is placed under the protection of people in general through democratic processes that determine the rules of sustainability, the better things are going to be." Government, in other words, should “own” nature.

Dr. Richards is most prominently known for teaching SOC119, or “Race and Ethnic Relations”. The class is <a href="https://www.soc119.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allegedly the “largest race and cultural relations course in the United States,</a>” according to the official site.

The course addresses relevant racial, political, and cross-cultural issues amongst young adults. Classes consist of Dr. Richards facilitating discussions for students to confront and examine viewpoints contrary to their own.
However, lectures typically devolve into racial and politically biased tirades. Dr. Richards frequently accuses white students of harboring racial animus, alleges that white supremacy is embedded in American culture, and accuses American Christians of seeking to overthrow the government.
In one lecture, titled “White Discomfort,” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKTUG02kTTg&amp;ab_channel=SOC119" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Richards selects a black and white student and asks them to stand in front of the class</a>.

<a href="https://www.sia.psu.edu/faculty/hatemi">Dr. Peter Hatemi</a>, a Professor of Political Science at Penn State, stated that conservatives express more issues of psychoticism, which he defined as " uncooperative, hostile, troublesome, and socially withdrawn, but lack feelings of inferiority and have an absence of anxiety. At the extremes, those scoring high on P are manipulative, tough-minded, and practical." He also claims that the counterparts of these conservatives [the left] is more likely to be altruistic, well socialized, empathic, and conventional. However upon review he accidentally switched data points around and should have labeled liberals with the adjectives he labeled conservatives with. Presented with this information, he claimed that it did not change his conclusion.

On his personal Twitter account, Dr. Fuller called for drunk drivers to run over unvaccinated parents.

The Tweet was a response to school-choice activist <a href="https://twitter.com/DeAngelisCorey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Corey A. DeAngelis's</a> opposition to mandatory masking in schools. In his reply, Dr. Fuller asked why parents have the right to endanger children by refusing to enforce mandatory masking. He then appeared to suggest that people with masks should drive while under the influence and run over “pro-covid” parents who oppose mask restrictions, as it is their freedom to do so.

Ms. <a href="https://www.etown.edu/offices/diversity/staff.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nichole Gonzalez</a> serves as the Dean of Students and Executive Director for the College for Diversity, Equity, and Belonging, as well as the Title IX Coordinator for <a href="https://www.etown.edu/index.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elizabethtown College</a> in Pennsylvania.
On September 23rd, 2021, Ms. Gonzalez and other Elizabethtown College administrators requested to meet with the college’s TPUSA chapter president—Alexander Russo—regarding an upcoming event on September 27th. The chapter was set to host TPUSA Ambassador, Mr. Joe Basrawi, who planned to speak about Critical Race Theory in academia.
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”.
In the meeting on the 23rd, Ms. Gonzalez informed Russo and other members present that the event would be canceled. Chapter members that have spoken with and provided corresponding emails to the Professor Watchlist Team have confirmed that Dr.Gonzalez canceled the event. She reportedly described Mr. Basrawi as “intentionally disruptive” and that his speech would be harmful to the campus due to the fact that he is not officially a “Critical Race Theorist.” Ms. Gonzalez stated that the college did not have time to put protections in place for marginalized groups and allowing the event to proceed would only further marginalize Elizabethtown’s minority students.
During the same meeting, Ms. Gonzalez allegedly pressured the chapter to disband and form a new group at the college. She stated that a conservative group aside from Turning Point USA would help facilitate a better community on campus.
As Mr. <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeBasrawi/status/1441401107809325063" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Basrawi has pointed out on Twitter</a>, Elizabethtown will be sponsoring a series of racially derogatory events during the fall semester, titled, the “Forum on White Supremacy and Global Colonization.” One training that will be <a href="https://etown.edu/centers/global/calendar.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hosted on October 12th, 21th, and November 2nd is titled, “Mediocre + Multimedia Content.*&#8221;</a>
Upon completion of the training, participants will receive a copy of the book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mediocre-Dangerous-Legacy-White-America/dp/1580059511" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America”.</a> The book endorses a “new white male identity” to counteract “the devastating consequences of white male supremacy on women, people of color, and white men themselves.” The training is described as a “space for people who identify as people of color,” and bars white people from attending.

When Russo highlighted the divisive nature of this and other events during the meeting, Ms. Gonzalez indicated her enthusiastic support for each one.
In a statement provided to the Professor Watchlist team, Mr. Baswari wrote, “It’s appalling to see that this is happening on American campuses these days. Gonzalez should be ashamed of herself being part of the problem of spreading tyranny on college campuses across the nation.”
In a separate statement provided to the Professor Watchlist team, Alexander Russo wrote, “I have been on this campus for almost 3 and a half years. Over the course of my education, the college has always supported freedom of thought and always strove to make sure everyone felt like they belong, no matter who they are. Now I am ashamed at the school I see before me that actively attempts to indoctrinate students and makes every attempt to divide us on race, COVID-19, and anything else they can.

John S. Huntington is a <a href="https://learning.hccs.edu/faculty/john.huntington" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of History</a> at Houston Community College. He teaches several courses ranging from American History to Western Civilization, and he <a href="https://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/16253.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recently wrote a book titled</a>, “Far-Right Vanguard The Radical Roots of Modern Conservatism.” He has also written publications for The Washington Post.
<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1758" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-10.37.26-AM.png" alt="" width="443" height="181" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-10.37.26-AM.png 443w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-10.37.26-AM-300x123.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px" />
In a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/01/25/how-conservatives-learned-love-big-government/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">perspective piece</a> for The Washington Post, Huntington claims conservatives are “ideologically inconsistent” and flip-flop between hating big government when Democrats are in office while loving big government when Republicans are in the White House. He asserts that conservatives abuse their power and state authority and that those abusive practices are “woven into the very fabric of modern conservatism.”
<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1759" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-10.38.27-AM.png" alt="" width="453" height="209" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-10.38.27-AM.png 453w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-10.38.27-AM-300x138.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px" />
In <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/10/13/manipulating-elections-is-conservative-tradition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another perspective piece</a> for The Washington Post, Huntington accuses conservatives of manipulating elections, claiming it’s “conservative tradition.” He claims that engineering elections is part of conservatives’ political heritage, and the idea that Democrats stole the 2020 election is a “central pillar” of conservative politics. He argues that conservatives “game the rules to gain power despite being in the minority.” Huntington believes that the 2020 election wasn’t the first time conservatives disagreed with an election outcome or tried to steal an election.
When Huntington isn’t writing books or articles about conservatives, he often takes to Twitter to show his hostility towards the political right. <a href="https://twitter.com/johnshuntington/status/1352670676302311425" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a series of tweets</a> from January 2021, Huntington accuses Texas of targeting liberal professors. He also tweeted that conservatives “belly-ache” about ‘cancel culture’ which he believes is just them receiving criticism. The full tweet can be viewed below:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Ah, and of course this is all about &quot;Cancel Culture.&quot;

John S. Huntington is a <a href="https://learning.hccs.edu/faculty/john.huntington" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of History</a> at Houston Community College. He teaches several courses ranging from American History to Western Civilization, and he <a href="https://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/16253.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recently wrote a book titled</a>, “Far-Right Vanguard The Radical Roots of Modern Conservatism.” He has also written publications for The Washington Post.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1758" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-10.37.26-AM.png" alt="" width="443" height="181" />

In a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/01/25/how-conservatives-learned-love-big-government/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">perspective piece</a> for The Washington Post, Huntington claims conservatives are “ideologically inconsistent” and flip-flop between hating big government when Democrats are in office while loving big government when Republicans are in the White House. He asserts that conservatives abuse their power and state authority and that those abusive practices are “woven into the very fabric of modern conservatism.”

In <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/10/13/manipulating-elections-is-conservative-tradition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another perspective piece</a> for The Washington Post, Huntington accuses conservatives of manipulating elections, claiming it’s “conservative tradition.” He claims that engineering elections is part of conservatives’ political heritage, and the idea that Democrats stole the 2020 election is a “central pillar” of conservative politics. He argues that conservatives “game the rules to gain power despite being in the minority.” Huntington believes that the 2020 election wasn’t the first time conservatives disagreed with an election outcome or tried to steal an election.

When Huntington isn’t writing books or articles about conservatives, he often takes to Twitter to show his hostility towards the political right. <a href="https://twitter.com/johnshuntington/status/1352670676302311425" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a series of tweets</a> from January 2021, Huntington accuses Texas of targeting liberal professors. He also tweeted that conservatives “belly-ache” about ‘cancel culture’ which he believes is just them receiving criticism. The full tweet can be viewed below:

Huntington has been vocal on Twitter about his disdain for the police and desire to defund them. Some of these tweets can be viewed below:

Dr. <a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carol Anderson</a> is the <a href="http://aas.emory.edu/home/people/bios/anderson-carol.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charles Howard Candler Professor and Chair of African American Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.emory.edu/home/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emory University</a> in Atlanta, Georgia. She has ascribed the passage of the Second Amendment to white supremacy, and accused conservatives of trying to make America a “whites only” nation.
Dr. Anderson is the author of, “<a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/the-second" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America</a>.” The book alleges the true purpose of the Second Amendment is the denial of rights to African Americans.
In a subsequent interview with CNN, Dr. Anderson claims the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/30/us/second-amendment-guns-anti-black-anderson-blake/index.html?utm_term=link&amp;utm_source=twCNN&amp;utm_content=2021-06-01T03%3A42%3A56&amp;utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">intention of the right to keep and bear arms was ultimately to empower militias to keep black Americans, “under the boot” of white supremacy</a>. At one point, she claims the second amendment is about “anti-blackness”, or antithetical to the well-being and rights of African-Americans:
<img loading="lazy" class="size-large wp-image-1574 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-14T175033.334-e1631667053699-1024x356.png" alt="" width="580" height="202" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-14T175033.334-e1631667053699-1024x356.png 1024w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-14T175033.334-e1631667053699-300x104.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-14T175033.334-e1631667053699-768x267.png 768w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-14T175033.334-e1631667053699-1200x417.png 1200w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-14T175033.334-e1631667053699.png 1299w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" />
She further states that America’s gun culture is fueled by a “fear” of black people and that “anti-blackness” courses through our nation&#8217;s history.
Dr. Anderson first rose to national prominence in 2014 for her Washington Post article attributing the Ferguson Riots to “white rage.”
The unrest stemmed from an altercation involving Michael Brown and police officer Darren Wilson. Brown had been pulled over by Wilson over suspicion of his involvement in a strong-arm robbery in a nearby convenience store. During the stop, witnesses testified that <a href="https://nypost.com/2014/08/19/witnesses-say-ferguson-teen-attacked-cop-before-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brown attempted to grab Officer Wilson’s gun</a> before turning and running away. When ordered to halt, Brown turned and charged Officer Wilson, who then fatally shot Brown in self-defense.
Although Wilson was later exonerated for his actions,<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hands-up-dont-shoot-makes-wapos-list-of-outlandish-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Black Lives Matter activists promoted the false narrative that Brown was shot with his hands up while attempting to surrender.</a> After a grand jury declined to indict Officer Wilson, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2850383/A-town-ravaged-anger-pictures-extent-damage-buildings-Ferguson.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rioters and looters burned stores and restaurants across the city of Ferguson</a>, Missouri.
In the piece, Dr. Anderson <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ferguson-wasnt-black-rage-against-copsit-was-white-rage-against-progress/2014/08/29/3055e3f4-2d75-11e4-bb9b-997ae96fad33_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">insinuates that riots are effective as the only method that residents of Ferguson can utilize to make their voices be heard.</a> Stating the “real rage” is represented in the attempts by conservative movements and police to disenfranchise African-Americans. She dismisses the destruction as not a product of “black rage”, but rather the “latest outbreak of “white rage.”
The article was later expanded into the book, “<a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/white-rage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Rage, The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide</a>.” When Emory University featured the book on their website, Dr. Anderson further defined white rage as, “<a href="https://news.emory.edu/stories/2016/05/upress_white_rage_anderson/campus.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">policymakers and a series of courts systematically undercut the advancement of African Americans</a>.” Dr. Anderson would go on to author an article for Time Magazine accusing “patriots” who are afflicted with &#8220;white rage&#8221; 0f <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170421064019/https://time.com/4573307/donald-trump-white-rage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trying to make America a “whites only” county</a> and attempting to revive a “Jim Crow nation.”

Dr. Anderson regularly lectures at colleges and universities across the country.

<a href="http://philosophy.emory.edu/home/people/faculty/yancy-george.html">Dr. George Yancy</a> is a Professor of Philosophy at Emory University.  A Red Alert Politics article states "Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a letter to white Americans calling them  racist.

<a href="https://profiles.ucr.edu/app/home/profile/janew">Jane Ward</a> is a professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of California &#8211; Riverside. According to her personal website, Ward <a href="https://www.janewardphd.com/">teaches</a> courses in feminist, queer, and heterosexuality studies. She also <a href="https://gsst104thewitch.weebly.com/">teaches</a> a course titled, “Witches, Gender and Religion.” A “Witch,” according to Ward–who instructs the course with a “postcolonial feminist lens”–threatens capitalism, settler colonialism, and Christianity.
Ward is the <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/professor-heterosexuality-tragic-causes-societal-problems">author</a> of a book titled, “The Tragedy of Heterosexuality.” Ward’s central premise of the book–<a href="https://www.insider.com/why-straight-relationships-are-doomed-according-to-sex-researcher-2020-12">outlined</a> in a 2020 article for Insider_ is her belief that heterosexuality strains relationships between the sexes, and causes men to objectify women.
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-1077 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-69-e1612395266936-1024x281.png" alt="" width="580" height="159" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-69-e1612395266936-1024x281.png 1024w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-69-e1612395266936-300x82.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-69-e1612395266936-768x211.png 768w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-69-e1612395266936-1200x330.png 1200w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-69-e1612395266936.png 1299w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" />
According to Ward, the idea of heterosexuality formed the “romanticized narrative” of a gender binary and “pigeon-holed” men into a toxic-masculine culture. She states that Covid-19 is now exposing the “tragedy” of heterosexuality, citing the uptick in divorce since the pandemic began.
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-1078 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-70-e1612395416239-1024x366.png" alt="" width="580" height="207" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-70-e1612395416239-1024x366.png 1024w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-70-e1612395416239-300x107.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-70-e1612395416239-768x274.png 768w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-70-e1612395416239-1200x429.png 1200w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-70-e1612395416239.png 1299w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" />
She has also previously <a href="https://theconversation.com/the-white-supremacist-origins-of-modern-marriage-advice-144782">detailed</a> her belief that marriage advice for heterosexual couples is rooted in white supremacy. Ward alleges that the marriage advice offered by figures in the 19th-eugenics movement is the cause of “violence and inequity” between heterosexual couples today.
In a <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=16693">statement</a> to Campus Reform, Ward explained that she “loves straight couples” and wants them to have better relationships.
In addition to her teaching responsibilities, Ward <a href="https://www.janewardphd.com/resources.html">offers</a> “Childhood Gender Diversity Training” seminars. According to her personal website, Jane advocates for “celebrating” a child’s gender diversity and self-expression, and offers the training to help adults, parents, and teachers refrain from “policing” a child’s gender expression. Ward is also a <a href="https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/support-affirmative-care-for-trans-kids">signatory</a> to an open petition urging the Canadian government and others “to join us in calling for additional funding to develop more services to better support gender diverse children.”

She has also previously <a href="https://theconversation.com/the-white-supremacist-origins-of-modern-marriage-advice-144782">detailed</a> her belief that marriage advice for heterosexual couples is rooted in white supremacy. Ward alleges that the marriage advice offered by figures in the 19th-eugenics movement is the cause of “violence and inequity” between heterosexual couples today.

In a <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=16693">statement</a> to Campus Reform, Ward explained that she “loves straight couples” and wants them to have better relationships.

In addition to her teaching responsibilities, Ward <a href="https://www.janewardphd.com/resources.html">offers</a> “Childhood Gender Diversity Training” seminars. According to her personal website, Jane advocates for “celebrating” a child’s gender diversity and self-expression, and offers the training to help adults, parents, and teachers refrain from “policing” a child’s gender expression. Ward is also a <a href="https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/support-affirmative-care-for-trans-kids">signatory</a> to an open petition urging the Canadian government and others “to join us in calling for additional funding to develop more services to better support gender diverse children.”

In a tweet that has since been deleted, Dr. Aslan asked his 286,300 followers if they’ve ever seen a “more punchable” face than Nick Sandmann’s face. Sandmann and other boys from Covington Catholic High School were wrongly accused of harassing indigenous people at the Lincoln Memorial in 2019. The boys ultimately filed a lawsuit against Dr. Aslan for false and defamatory accusations.

He applies this characterization to other conservative commentators, including Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, and Jordan Peterson–accusing many of antisemitism. O’Mara promises to fight back against these “fascists” and encourages the Left to become bolder in their confrontation tactics.

Despite acknowledging his tweet’s insensitivity, O’Mara claims that Candace Owens is a white supremacist.

He applies this characterization to other conservative commentators, including Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, and Jordan Peterson–accusing many of antisemitism. O’Mara promises to fight back against these “fascists” and encourages the Left to become bolder in their confrontation tactics.

<a href="https://www.law.berkeley.edu/our-faculty/faculty-profiles/khiara-bridges/#tab_profile" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Khiara Bridges</a> is a <a href="https://www.law.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of California-Berkeley Law Professor</a>, critical race theorist, and an advocate for abortion. She has further claimed that men can give birth and has refused to say whether unborn babies are worthy of dignity.
Dr. Bridges condemned the Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.—<a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/19-1392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dobbs V. Jackson Women’s Health Organization</a>—as an <a href="https://news.berkeley.edu/2022/06/24/khiara-m-bridges-court-abortion-ruling-is-an-assault-on-women-and-democracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“assault” against both women and democracy.</a> Dr. Bridges further alleged that <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/video/californians-express-outrage-over-roe-163817289.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banning abortion is a form of racism</a>:
“When you have a law that makes abortion unavailable, you have a law that makes unavailable a service upon which Black people disproportionately rely, so there’s a specific racial impact.”
Since the 1973 ruling, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/since-roe-abortion-has-killed-more-black-babies-than-the-entire-black-population-of-the-u-s-in-1960" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an estimated 20 million black children have been murdered via abortion</a>.
Speaking before a <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?521318-1/senate-judiciary-committee-hearing-abortion-access-law" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate hearing</a> regarding abortion policy, Dr. Bridges refused to address John Cornyn’s (R-Texas) question regarding disproportionate rates of black abortion. She again refused to answer when asked if an unborn baby has any value.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Cornyn: &#8220;Do you think a baby delivered alive has value?&#8221;

&nbsp;
During her testimony, Dr. Bridges referenced “persons with the capacity for pregnancy” when speaking about individuals who sought abortions. When questioned by Senator Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) if she was referring to pregnant women, Dr. Bridges replied that she was referring to all “cis-women, trans-men, and non-binary people.”
When further pressed if abortion is a women’s rights issue, Dr. Bridges accused Hawley of asking questions that exposed “trans people to violence.”
Dr. Bridges then asked Hawley if he believes that men can become pregnant. Astonished, Hawley replied, “No, I don’t think men can get pregnant,” she further accused him of denying that trans people exist.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Hawley: Why are you using the term &#8220;person with a capacity for pregnancy&#8221; instead of &#8220;woman?&#8221;
Bridges: &#8220;Your line of questioning is transphobic and opens trans people to violence.&#8221;
Hawley: &#8220;You&#8217;re saying I&#8217;m opening up people to violence by saying women can have pregnancies?&#8221; <a href="https://t.co/eYaOYumYSJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pic.twitter.com/Yi46NlQCr0</a>

<a href="https://law.ucla.edu/faculty/faculty-profiles/kimberle-w-crenshaw">Dr. Kimberlé Crenshaw</a> is a Professor of Law and the Promise Institute Chair in Human Rights at the <a href="https://www.ucla.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA)</a>. She also teaches law as a professor at the <a href="https://www.law.columbia.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbia School of Law</a>.
Dr. Crenshaw is best recognized as a founding scholar of critical race theory and intersectionality. She has continued to make significant contributions to each field throughout her career. Both concepts have been widely adopted by the radical left as the basis for their activism and movements.
Dr. Crenshaw <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/1229039?read-now=1&amp;refreqid=excelsior%3Ad80f43d375e3f40179924f768317a237&amp;seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first defined intersectionality in a landmark paper published for the Stanford Law Review, titled, “Mapping the Margins.</a>” In it, she praises identity politics as necessary to the lived experiences of American minorities.

However, Dr. Crenshaw then comments that identity politics does not go nearly far enough, countering that intersectionality is needed to successfully combat what she alleges is the systemic oppression minorities face in America.
Intersectionality is used by activists and academics to depict racial and sexual oppression as interconnected amongst various minority groups. For example in “Mapping the Margins,” Dr. Crenshaw claims that a black woman would suffer from both systemic racism and sexism in America. She further characterizes the theory as the link between <a href="https://newdiscourses.com/2021/03/forging-woke-one-ring-kimberle-crenshaws-mapping-margins/">contemporary politics and postmodernism</a>. Academic James Lindsay describes <a href="https://newdiscourses.com/2021/03/forging-woke-one-ring-kimberle-crenshaws-mapping-margins/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">intersectionality as the “birthplace of wokeness.”</a>
Much of intersectionality’s academic framework was used by Dr. Crenshaw to develop concepts of critical race theory. She drew additional inspiration from <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/nov/12/kimberle-crenshaw-the-woman-who-revolutionised-feminism-and-landed-at-the-heart-of-the-culture-wars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">critical legal studies, which, like critical race theory, posits that no American law can truly be neutral or impartial.</a>
Ben Shapiro defines critical race theory—also referred to as critical theory—in an article for Breitbart <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as an intellectual branch of Marxism that alleges American society and all of its founding institutions are infected with white supremacy</a>. Furthermore, proponents of critical race theory believe that people should take proactive steps to dismantle these institutions in the name of equity, which is also referred to as being “anti-racist.”
Dr. Crenshaw herself further defined the concept in an appearance on MSNBC in July of 2021, She characterized her theory as a method to understand how racial inequality is produced—or acts as a “conduit”—from laws, institutions, and historical oppression, all of which are referenced interchangeably with white supremacy.

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

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

&nbsp;
Crenshaw’s work and activism have been instrumental to school districts adopting critical race theory into their curriculums. One district in Illinois allegedly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawsuit-illinois-school-district-forced-students-on-privilege-walks-compared-whiteness-to-the-devil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">segregated students by race during a “privilege walk</a>” and compared “whiteness” to the devil during class lessons.

Dr. Crensaw’s work has spawned other prominent critical race theorists like Dr. Nikole Hannah-Jones, author of the 1619 Project. She has described <a href="https://news.columbia.edu/news/what-does-intersectionality-mean-2021-kimberle-crenshaws-podcast-must-listen-way-learn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Jones work as “phenomenal” to the rethinking of the American founding</a>.

<a href="https://www.grandviewcetl.org/cetl-staff/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Kevin Gannon</a> is a Professor at <a href="https://www.grandview.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grand View University</a> in Des Moines, Iowa. He additionally serves as the Director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching at the University.
In September of 2020, Dr. Gannon—along with University of Pennsylvania professor Dr. Anthea Butler—<a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?id=15566" target="_blank" rel="noopener">organized a general strike of university academics, lecturers, and professors in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement</a>.
According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Federalist</a> found, “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>
In a letter posted on his personal Twitter account, Dr Gannon states the intent of the strike was to protest against what he characterized as <a href="https://twitter.com/TheTattooedProf/status/1298790551207251970" target="_blank" rel="noopener">our nation’s ongoing “racialized violence, racism, and white supremacy,</a>” The letter urges university staff to walk off of their jobs in order to engage in “anti-racism.”

<a href="https://education.uw.edu/people/rjd">Robin DiAngelo</a> is an Affiliate Associate Professor in the College of Education at the University of Washington. She is best known for her New York Times bestselling book titled “<a href="https://www.robindiangelo.com/publications/">White Fragility</a>,” which examines DiAngelo’s belief that all white people have embraced and internalized bigotry in order to protect institutional racism in every aspect of American life.
Robin previously described her all-encompassing view on systemic racism in her article <a href="https://www.robindiangelo.com/publications/">“Nothing to Add,”</a> noting that systematic racism results in the unequal distribution of resources amongst racial groups, essentially defining racism as any and all racial disparities.
She writes, “&#8230;whiteness scholars define racism as encompassing economic, political, social, and cultural structures, actions, and beliefs that systematize and perpetuate an unequal distribution of privileges, resources, and power among white people and people of color.”
DiAngelo states that the unequal distribution of resources is what makes racism an inexorable part of the free market.
“Capitalism is so bound up with racism&#8230;Capitalism is dependent on inequality, on an underclass. If the model is profit over everything else, you’re not going to look at your policies to see what is most racially equitable.” 
During her appearance on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZfiSjTHVqA&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;ab_channel=TheTonightShowStarringJimmyFallon">Jimmy Fallon</a>, DiAngelo explained that individuals are not immune to racism, as it&#8217;s a foundational aspect of our nation. Racism is not an individual act or offense, but rather a system that disproportionately discriminates against people of color and automatically benefits whites. During an appearance on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dteOQPzc_so">CBS News</a>, she stated that white privilege is automatically bestowed upon white people whether they consider themselves racist or not. During a later interview with the <a href="https://youtu.be/neV_GlvUGn4?t=439">Family Action Network</a>, DiAneglo will go to her “last breath” believing that all white people are racist;
“I will hold to my last breath that all white people that live in a society whose foundation is white superiority internalize the message of white superiority…”
During an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45ey4jgoxeU">appearance</a> at the Seattle Public Library, she went further, declaring that all white people have a “deeply internalized” sense of white supremacy.  According to DiAngelo, white people are born and bred into racism and “internalize” their bigotry. She uses this basis to define “white fragility” is the inability of white Americans to come to terms with their inherent racism and resultant defensive reaction to being accused of harboring racist beliefs. Through this, white Americans maintain a racist system that they benefit from.
DiAngelo uses the individual as an example of the presence of racism in American society. She explains that racism is structural rather than individual, thus attributing any disparities to individual acts, such as behavior or values, is emblematic of “white fragility” and how white Americans protect racist institutions from systematic change.
DiAngelo <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/15/magazine/white-fragility-robin-diangelo.html?referringSource=articleShare">travels extensively</a> to promote her work, regularly speaking before <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrOFpaB-PQI">city governments</a> and major corporations like Levi’s. She recently faced blowback at the University of Connecticut for <a href="https://campusreform.org/?ID=15430">charging</a> $20,000 for a three and a half-hour lecture before only 44 administrators. She also received criticism from Missouri Senator Josh Hawley when it was discovered that her work is <a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/senator-hawley-requests-smithsonian-explain-controversial-talking-about-race-initiative">featured prominently</a> in diversity trainings hosted by government institutions.

She additionally teaches as an Adjunct Professor of Education at <a href="https://simpson.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Simpson College</a> in Indianola, Iowa. Dr. Lange <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/blm-propose-day-of-civil-disobedience-to-teach-critical-race-theory-in-iowa-despite-state-ban" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made national headlines for bragging about circumventing Iowa State Law in order to teach her high school students Critical Race Theory</a>.
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.
<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/iowa-governor-bans-critical-race-theory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iowa has prohibited the teaching and promotion of Critical Race Theory in public schools and government agencies</a>. In June of 2021, upon signing the bill into law, Iowa governor Kim Reynolds described Critical Race Theory in a press release as focusing disproportionately on “labels and stereotypes”:
“Critical Race Theory is about labels and stereotypes, not education. It teaches kids that we should judge others based on race, gender or sexual identity, rather than the content of someone’s character”.
The Iowa bill—<a href="https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/BillBook?ga=89&amp;ba=hf802" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tilted House File 802</a>—prohibits the teaching of 10 “ specific defined concepts” listed below:
-That one race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex. 
-That the United States of America and the state of Iowa are fundamentally or systematically racist or sexist. 
-That one race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex.
&#8211; That the United States of America and the state of Iowa are fundamentally or systemically racist or sexist. 
-That an individual, solely because of the individual&#8217;s race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously. 
-That an individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment solely or partly because of the individual&#8217;s race or sex. 
-That members of one race or sex cannot and should not attempt to treat others without respect to race or sex. 
-That an individual&#8217;s moral character is necessarily determined by the individual&#8217;s race or sex. 
-That an individual, by virtue of the individual&#8217;s race or sex, bears responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex. 
-That any individual should feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of that individual&#8217;s race or sex. 
-That meritocracy or traits such as a hard work ethic are racist or sexist or were created by a particular race to oppress another race.
Despite the law, Dr. Lange has continued to openly promote Critical Race Theory in her classrooms.
Dr. Lange’s comments were originally captured by the Twitter user <a href="https://twitter.com/MythinformedMKE/status/1439318566914994176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1439318566914994176%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fpolitics%2Fblm-propose-day-of-civil-disobedience-to-teach-critical-race-theory-in-iowa-despite-state-ban" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mythinformed MKE</a> during the online forum “​​UnBan Anti-Racism Education In Iowa.” In the clip, Dr. Lange boasts about allegedly exploiting a loophole in the law.
In her remarks, Dr. Lange tells her students that despite the law, they may still ask questions regarding Critical Race Theory; if they were to ask if America is a systemically racist nation, she will then be able to answer in the affirmative.
The full tweet is embedded below.

She additionally teaches as an Adjunct Professor of Education at <a href="https://simpson.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Simpson College</a> in Indianola, Iowa. Dr. Lange <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/blm-propose-day-of-civil-disobedience-to-teach-critical-race-theory-in-iowa-despite-state-ban" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made national headlines for bragging about circumventing Iowa State Law in order to teach her high school students Critical Race Theory</a>.

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.

<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/iowa-governor-bans-critical-race-theory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iowa has prohibited the teaching and promotion of Critical Race Theory in public schools and government agencies</a>. In June of 2021, upon signing the bill into law, Iowa governor Kim Reynolds described Critical Race Theory in a press release as focusing disproportionately on “labels and stereotypes”:

“Critical Race Theory is about labels and stereotypes, not education. It teaches kids that we should judge others based on race, gender or sexual identity, rather than the content of someone’s character”.

The Iowa bill—<a href="https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/BillBook?ga=89&amp;ba=hf802" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tilted House File 802</a>—prohibits the teaching of 10 “ specific defined concepts” listed below:

-That one race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex. 

-That the United States of America and the state of Iowa are fundamentally or systematically racist or sexist. 

-That one race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex.

- That the United States of America and the state of Iowa are fundamentally or systemically racist or sexist. 

-That an individual, solely because of the individual's race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously. 

-That an individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment solely or partly because of the individual's race or sex. 

-That members of one race or sex cannot and should not attempt to treat others without respect to race or sex. 

-That an individual's moral character is necessarily determined by the individual's race or sex. 

-That an individual, by virtue of the individual's race or sex, bears responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex. 

-That any individual should feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of that individual's race or sex. 

-That meritocracy or traits such as a hard work ethic are racist or sexist or were created by a particular race to oppress another race.

Despite the law, Dr. Lange has continued to openly promote Critical Race Theory in her classrooms.

Dr. Lange’s comments were originally captured by the Twitter user <a href="https://twitter.com/MythinformedMKE/status/1439318566914994176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1439318566914994176%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fpolitics%2Fblm-propose-day-of-civil-disobedience-to-teach-critical-race-theory-in-iowa-despite-state-ban" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mythinformed MKE</a> during the online forum “​​UnBan Anti-Racism Education In Iowa.” In the clip, Dr. Lange boasts about allegedly exploiting a loophole in the law.

In her remarks, Dr. Lange tells her students that despite the law, they may still ask questions regarding Critical Race Theory; if they were to ask if America is a systemically racist nation, she will then be able to answer in the affirmative.

Iowa teacher proudly explains how she is circumventing the Critical Race Theory ban.
Instead of teaching CRT, she reviews the CRT concepts that are called out in the law, and encourages her kids to ask questions about the concepts.

<a href="https://english.ucdavis.edu/people/jclover">Joshua Clover</a> is a professor of English at the University of California, Davis, and specializes in “<a href="https://english.ucdavis.edu/people/jclover">critical theory, Marxism, political theory, political economy, poetry, and poetics</a>.”
Anti-Israel
A signatory to the <a href="https://usacbi.org/endorsers/">US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel</a>, Clover has compared Israel to Nazi Germany and <a href="https://popula.com/2018/12/05/from-the-river-to-the-sea/">described it as an “eliminationist ethnostate</a>.” A self-described communist, Clover has cited his world view as justification for the destruction of Israel as a state.

Anti-Law Enforcement
On a number of accusations, Clover has openly called for violence against police officers. In 2020, he <a href="https://www.motherjones.com/crime-justice/2020/06/riots-arent-irrational/">praised rioters</a> for burning police stations, stating that law enforcement’s role is to protect private property and is, therefore “fundamentally anti-black.”
“&#8230;the police role in making sure property stays property is fundamentally anti-black, fundamentally white supremacist, and the same time that it’s fundamentally in defense of capital.” 
“Ten days ago, there were 330 million Americans who did not know a single thing; they didn’t know that you could sack a police station&#8230;People recognize the police are the source of  their unfreedom, and they fight back against them.”  
Clover was <a href="https://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2019/02/26/uc-davis-professor-joshua-clover-cops-killed/">condemned</a> after past tweets and statements in a 2015 <a href="https://archives.sfweekly.com/exhibitionist/2015/09/17/the-write-stuff-joshua-clover-on-wearing-intense-knowledge-lightly-and-changing-quickly">San Francisco Weekly</a> interview advocating for the murder of police officers.
“People think that cops need to be reformed. They need to be killed. “What’s wrong with society today?”

<a href="https://globalaffairs.ucdavis.edu/confucius">Michelle Yeh</a> is the Director of the Confucius Institute at the University of California &#8211; Davis. The Confucius Institute is funded by the Chinese Communist Party and serves as a focal point for the dissemination of propaganda and foreign espionage on American campuses.

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

“This survey from the task force is a part of a larger project to achieve our mission of being an informed community.

“White people do this thing where we create spaces and are a part of spaces that are white only not by statute, but by default &#8211; so circumstances allow a space to continue to be white only even though there&#8217;s no rule that says white only.”
Turning her attention to white students, Dr. Ranfeld mocks them for harboring hurt feelings. She further accuses them of only opposing the segregated spaces out of fear of being criticized.
“Then you end up with these protests over segregation that are really about white people&#8217;s feelings of getting, one, excluded from a space and, two, worrying that people are going to say mean things about them in that space and they&#8217;re not going to get to defend themselves.”
