Adam Kotsko

<a href="https://www.northcentralcollege.edu/profile/akotsko">Adam Kotsko</a> is an associate visiting professor at North Central College, formerly known as Shimer College. According to the North Central College website, Adam teaches in the humanities and social sciences, and his research focuses on political theology, continental philosophy, and the history of Christian thought.
&nbsp;
Censorship 
During the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/event/Charlie-Hebdo-shooting">Charlie Hebdo Attacks</a>, Kotsko expressed sympathy towards the terrorists that committed the atrocity. In the attack, Islamic terrorists entered the building of the satirical French newspaper, Charlie Hebdo, and proceeded to murder twelve cartoonists and injure an additional eleven. The terrorists targeted the newspaper over its depictions of the Prophet Muhammed and pledged allegiance to the terrorist group ISIS.
In a deleted tweet now archived by Campus Reform, Adam expressed <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2015/01/09/lets-get-to-know-americas-stupidest-college-professor/">sympathy</a> for the terrorists, stating that the attack was no different than someone punching a Westboro Baptist preacher.

Campus Reform reports that Kotsko <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=6183">offered</a> an apology for the tweet on his personal blog. Attempting to excuse his behavior, Adam claims that he believed the magazine was “exclusively” an anti-Muslim publication and initially thought the attack was just a “crime of passion.”
&nbsp;
Identity Politics 
On his <a href="https://twitter.com/adamkotsko?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">personal</a> Twitter account, Kotsko frequently claims that multiple aspects of our government are founded on racism. Some examples of his tweets include the following:

&nbsp;
Kotsko also <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2015/07/02/white-professor-informs-white-people-they-are-all-currently-complicit-in-slavery/">claims</a> that all white people, regardless if anyone in their lineage owned slaves, are complicit in slavery.

&nbsp;
In a <a href="https://thelibertarianrepublic.com/white-professor-calls-all-white-people-to-mass-suicide-over-slavery/">tweet archived</a> by the Libertarian Republic, Kotsko is asked by one of his Twitter followers what white people should do next, Kotsko replies, “Commit suicide.”
Kotsko continues, stating that “whiteness” exists solely to exploit other races.

<a href="https://wgss.osu.edu/people/lindsey.268" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Treva Lindsey</a> is an Associate Professor in the <a href="https://wgss.osu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.osu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Ohio State University.</a> According to her university bio, Dr. Lindsay specializes in areas such as African American Women’s History, black feminism, critical race, and gender theory, among other sexual politics.
Dr. Lindsay frequently writes and is invited to lecture about sexual assault prevention on college campuses. In a video of a lecture at Portland State University, Dr. Lindsay can be heard <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZugy4C-Udg&amp;ab_channel=PortlandStateUniversity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggesting rehabilitating those who’ve committed sexual assault by teaching them to unlearn their “toxic masculinity” and innate homophobia</a>.
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video">
<video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-1" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Treva-Lindsay-Unlearing-toxic-massculinity-.mp4?_=1" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Treva-Lindsay-Unlearing-toxic-massculinity-.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Treva-Lindsay-Unlearing-toxic-massculinity-.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
Dr. Treva Lindsay frequently writes for a number of prominent publications—such as <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2015/9/5/race-in-the-us-herstory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Al Jazeera</a>, <a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/author/14721/treva-lindsey/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cosmopolitan</a>, and <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/27/opinions/r-kelly-conviction-black-women-and-girls-lindsey/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>— accusing the United States of being systematically racist and calling for the abolishment of policing. She additionally praises the BLM movement for its alleged efforts to combat systemic racism.
Black Lives Matter (BLM,) as an organization, was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder. After a jury acquitted Zimmerman in 2013, <a href="https://patrissecullors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrice Cullors</a> joined with <a href="https://aliciagarza.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alicia Garza</a> and <a href="https://www.opaltometi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Opal Tometi</a> to found the organization. BLM’s mission is to “eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes.”
In an article for Complex, Dr. Lindsay praises BLM and its umbrella organization, the Movement for Black Lives, for their <a href="https://www.complex.com/life/2017/02/black-history-month-five-years-after-trayvon-martin-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">role in awakening Americans to the reality of “anti-black racism</a>.” In the same article, she alleges that “millions” of black Americans have been victims of systemic racism for hundreds of years, and still are today.
In a separate article for NBC News, Dr. Lindsay decries the  passage of Juneteenth, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/juneteenth-honors-black-emancipation-hope-equality-federal-holiday-doesn-t-ncna1271356" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describing it as trivial and merely a “symbolic gesture.</a>” A bill to make Juneteenth—a holiday <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/abolition-of-slavery-announced-in-texas-juneteenth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrating the announcement that slavery had ended in Texas</a>— a national holiday was passed with the <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-signs-bill-making-juneteenth-a-federal-holiday/ar-AAL92UE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bipartisan support of both houses</a> before it was signed into law in June of 2020.
Nonetheless, Dr. Lindsay writes that she can’t help but feel “contempt” towards white people for their support, critiquing the holiday as inadequate to combat “sanctioned white supremacy.”

She mirrors her characterization in an article for Bustle, describing the history of the United States as <a href="https://www.bustle.com/p/the-lack-of-mobilized-outrage-for-police-killing-black-women-is-injurious-erasure-22953764" target="_blank" rel="noopener">encompassing the murder of black people from slavery to the present day</a>.

Dr. Lindsay builds on her allegation in another article for Complex, <a href="https://www.complex.com/life/2016/09/blue-lives-matter-bill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">specifically citing “racist policing” and “police brutality&#8221; as the 2 “most visible” forms of state violence</a> against black people. As such, Dr. Lindsay has openly called for the defunding of police on her <a href="https://twitter.com/divafeminist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal Twitter account</a>.

When the officer arrived, Bryant was at the center of a fight with several other girls. Bryant then drew a knife and the responding officer ordered her to drop the weapon. Bryant then lunged at another girl with the knife, causing the officer to shoot and fatally wound her.

The Ohio State University

<a href="http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/faculty/professor/joshua-dressler/">Joshua Dressler</a> is a Distinguished University Professor and the Frank R. Strong Chair in Law at The Ohio State University.  Dressler told his students that Ted Cruz’s comments to Donald Trump were anti-Semitic. Dressler claimed that Cruz’s infamous “New York values” statement was directed toward Jewish people in a negative way.

<a href="https://history.osu.edu/people/jeffries.57" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries</a> is an associate professor of history at <a href="https://www.osu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ohio State University</a>. According to his university profile, his areas of expertise include the following:

- African-American History

- US History since 1877

- Human Conflict, Peace, and Diplomacy,

- Power, Culture, and the State,

- Race, Ethnicity, and Nation

Dr. Hasan Kwame is an adherent to critical race theory and frequently defends the field in his lectures and speeches. In addition, he advises local high schools and school districts on how to teach critical theory to students.

On his personal Twitter account, Dr. Jeffries <a href="https://twitter.com/ProfJeffries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">frequently characterizes conservatives as white nationalists, supremacists and other epithets</a>. In one tweet, he lashes out at South Carolina Senator Tim Scott—currently the sole black Republican in the United States Senate—as the “blackface” of white supremacy.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
The <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GOP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#GOP</a> is the party of white supremacy and Sen.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

In other lectures, Dr. Jeffries portrays America as a systemically racist nation. He thus defends critical race theory as necessary to understand oppression and the history of racism in the United States.

As <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro writes</a> for Breitbart News, critical race theory—also referred to as “critical 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 a speech for <a href="https://www.cityclub.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The City Club of Cleveland</a>, Dr. Jeffries <a href="https://www.cityclub.org/forums/2021/08/20/misunderstanding-critical-race-theory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lauds critical race theory as necessary to understand that racism is “systemic, deeply embedded, and produces racial inequality in our society</a>.” At one point while addressing the accusation that critical race theory brands all white people as racist, Dr. Jeffries retorts that while all white people are not born racist, all white people born in America are, in fact, racist.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Jeffries-White-people-born-in-America-are-racist.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

He further characterizes any opposition to critical race theory as a “racial reckoning” used to whip up conservative voters as “racism is the greatest organizing force” in American history. While denying that critical race theory is taught in American schools, he nonetheless advocates for students to learn it.

In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Dr. Jeffries conducts training for local school districts in Ohio. In one lesson plan for <a href="https://www.olentangy.k12.oh.us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Olentangy Local School District </a>obtained by the Professor Watchlist team, Dr. Jeffries advises teachers on how to teach critical theory and social justice movements to their students.

In Section One—titled, “Confronting Hard History: Teaching and Talking About Race and Racism in K-12 Classrooms,”—Dr. Jeffries addresses the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and instructs teachers to incorporate the movement’s tenets into their lesson plans.

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>

Despite the destruction, Dr. Jeffries lauds the protests for seeking justice for systemic racism. He urges educators to incorporate this into their lesson plans when teaching about BLM. He further endorses explicitly discussing race and racial issues in the classroom as not doing so— or what Dr. Jeffries defines it as the “color-blind trap”— seeks to “erase” the experiences of people of color.

In part two of the training, Dr. Jeffries instructs teachers that America was founded in the year 1619 rather than 1776. He states that it is vital to understand the nation was founded on the double-helix of racism and capitalism.

Dr. Nikole Hannah Jones likewise <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims</a> that America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England. <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Though now retracted for numerous false claims</a>, the documents have now been <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added to the curriculum of 4,500 schools across the country</a>.

Dr. Jones further states that it is vital to teach children how racism is encoded into the Constitution and our founding documents, as well as to regard founding fathers like James Madison as virulent racists.

Throughout each lecture, Dr. Jeffries stresses the importance of teaching about the lingering effects of racism to students today.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Jeffries for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

<a href="https://wgss.osu.edu/people/lindsey.268" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Treva Lindsey</a> is an Associate Professor in the <a href="https://wgss.osu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.osu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Ohio State University.</a> According to her university bio, Dr. Lindsay specializes in areas such as African American Women’s History, black feminism, critical race, and gender theory, among other sexual politics.

Dr. Lindsay frequently writes and is invited to lecture about sexual assault prevention on college campuses. In a video of a lecture at Portland State University, Dr. Lindsay can be heard <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZugy4C-Udg&amp;ab_channel=PortlandStateUniversity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggesting rehabilitating those who’ve committed sexual assault by teaching them to unlearn their “toxic masculinity” and innate homophobia</a>.

&nbsp;

Dr. Treva Lindsay frequently writes for a number of prominent publications—such as <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2015/9/5/race-in-the-us-herstory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Al Jazeera</a>, <a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/author/14721/treva-lindsey/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cosmopolitan</a>, and <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/27/opinions/r-kelly-conviction-black-women-and-girls-lindsey/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>— accusing the United States of being systematically racist and calling for the abolishment of policing. She additionally praises the BLM movement for its alleged efforts to combat systemic racism.

Black Lives Matter (BLM,) as an organization, was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder. After a jury acquitted Zimmerman in 2013, <a href="https://patrissecullors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrice Cullors</a> joined with <a href="https://aliciagarza.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alicia Garza</a> and <a href="https://www.opaltometi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Opal Tometi</a> to found the organization. BLM’s mission is to “eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes.”

In an article for Complex, Dr. Lindsay praises BLM and its umbrella organization, the Movement for Black Lives, for their <a href="https://www.complex.com/life/2017/02/black-history-month-five-years-after-trayvon-martin-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">role in awakening Americans to the reality of “anti-black racism</a>.” In the same article, she alleges that “millions” of black Americans have been victims of systemic racism for hundreds of years, and still are today.

In a separate article for NBC News, Dr. Lindsay decries the  passage of Juneteenth, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/juneteenth-honors-black-emancipation-hope-equality-federal-holiday-doesn-t-ncna1271356" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describing it as trivial and merely a “symbolic gesture.</a>” A bill to make Juneteenth—a holiday <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/abolition-of-slavery-announced-in-texas-juneteenth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrating the announcement that slavery had ended in Texas</a>— a national holiday was passed with the <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-signs-bill-making-juneteenth-a-federal-holiday/ar-AAL92UE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bipartisan support of both houses</a> before it was signed into law in June of 2020.

Nonetheless, Dr. Lindsay writes that she can’t help but feel “contempt” towards white people for their support, critiquing the holiday as inadequate to combat “sanctioned white supremacy.”

She mirrors her characterization in an article for Bustle, describing the history of the United States as <a href="https://www.bustle.com/p/the-lack-of-mobilized-outrage-for-police-killing-black-women-is-injurious-erasure-22953764" target="_blank" rel="noopener">encompassing the murder of black people from slavery to the present day</a>.

Dr. Lindsay builds on her allegation in another article for Complex, <a href="https://www.complex.com/life/2016/09/blue-lives-matter-bill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">specifically citing “racist policing” and “police brutality'' as the 2 “most visible” forms of state violence</a> against black people.

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

She wrote in an op-ed that there are good arguments for restricting free speech rights. She said that racist hate speech has been linked to higher rates of smoking and obesity, for example. Supporting her argument for restricting speech, she pointed out that recently the Supreme Court ruled that a music group ("The Slants", a band made up of Asian-Americans) was allowed to use a derogatory name as their band name, although she did not point out the band was using the name to mock people who use the name in a derogatory fashion.

According to her university biography, she teaches courses on “Criminal Law, Health Law and Policy, and Sex Crimes” and explores the “legal limitations on intimate decisions.”

Dr. Kaplan has spent her academic career attempting to normalize pedophilia. In a paper for the <a href="https://scholarlycommons.law.wlu.edu/wlulr/vol72/iss1/4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington and Lee Law Review</a>, she advocates for the reclassification of pedophilia as a mental disorder so that pedophiles may be awarded more civil rights:

“...we should not categorically deny pedophilia the civil rights protections afforded to other mental disorders without a convincing normative justification supported by cogent scientific evidence. Strengthening civil rights protections for those with pedophilia also increases access to treatment and support that helps prevent child abuse.”

In a similar piece for the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/opinion/pedophilia-a-disorder-not-a-crime.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York</a><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/opinion/pedophilia-a-disorder-not-a-crime.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Times</a>—titled, "Pedophilia: A Disorder, Not a Crime,"—Dr. Kaplan attempts a sickening effort to lure readers into sympathizing with pedophiles by characterizing pedophiles as adolescents with harmless, childhood crushes.

“THINK back to your first childhood crush. Maybe it was a classmate or a friend next door. Most likely, through school and into adulthood, your affections continued to focus on others in your approximate age group. But imagine if they did not. By some estimates, 1 percent of the male population continues, long after puberty, to find themselves attracted to prepubescent children. These people are living with pedophilia, a sexual attraction to prepubescents that often constitutes a mental illness. Unfortunately, our laws are failing them and, consequently, ignoring opportunities to prevent child abuse.”

Her intellectual sleight of hand is prevalent in both pieces. Kaplan blames the abuse of children partially on what she views as the severity in which society treats pedophilia, resulting in pedophiles abstaining from seeking treatment.

When later interviewed by <a href="https://www.phillymag.com/news/2014/10/06/pedophilia-not-a-crime-rutgers-margo-kaplan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia Magazine</a>, Dr. Kapland claimed to be “shocked” at the amount of support she had received, accusing critics she did have of not even reading her article.

<a href="https://history.rutgers.edu/people/faculty/details/1143-bray-mark">Mark Bray</a> is a part-time lecturer in the Department of History at Rutgers University.

Bray first gained notoriety in 2017 when he <a href="https://www.mhpbooks.com/books/antifa/">authored</a> "The Anti-Fascist Handbook," and offered to <a href="https://campusreform.org/?id=14972">donate</a> half of the proceeds to ANTIFA.

Bray fully endorses ANTIFA’s embrace of violence as a tactic, and often describes it as “self-defense”. He has <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9616">stated</a> that in order to “preemptively” shut down far-right events and gatherings,  “physical violence against white supremacists is both ethically justifiable and strategically effective.”

Soon after publication, he appeared on NBC to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/antifa-violence-ethical-author-explains-why-n796106">defend</a> the use of force against opposing protestors. He claimed that as an illiberal organization, ANTIFA has and will continue to shut down the free speech of the far right.

Bray recently penned an op-ed in the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/06/01/trump-antifa-terrorist-organization/">Washington Post</a> in the midst of mass-rioting following the death of George Floyd. After expressing sympathy with the looters, Bray claims that police officers are, in fact, deadlier than ANTIFA.  He wrote, “...and in the United States, ANTIFA have never killed anyone, unlike their enemies in Klan hoods and squad cars.” 

After his views were <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/red-alert-politics/dartmouth-president-disavows-professor-justified-antifa-violence-self-defense">condemned</a> by Dartmouth University - his employer at the time - Bray soon began lecturing at Rutgers, where his university biography describes him as a “historian of human rights, terrorism, and politics in Modern Europe.”

Ms. <a href="https://crimjust.rutgers.edu/people/faculty-directory/details/30-faculty/faculty/620-erakat-noura">Noura Erakat</a> is an Assistant Professor of Africana Studies at Rutgers University. According to her university profile, Professor Erakat specializes in fields that include international law, humanitarian law, human rights law, national security law, refugee law, and critical race theory. A harsh critic of the state of Israel, the professor has repeatedly demonized and called for the destruction of the only Jewish state in the world.

Professor Erakat’s work frequently characterizes Israel as a racist state that is equivalent to the apartheid-era South African government. In a November 2019 interview with DemocracyNow, she stated, ”<a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2019/11/19/noura_erakat_israeli_settlements_trump_announcement">we are witnessing the entrenchment of an apartheid regime</a>, and the U.S. [is] at the helm of that process.”

Professor Erakat repeats this false claim to justify her support of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. In a November 2020 video panel discussion with the Middle East Institute, Professor Erakat calls on the world <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S7ZkKMFUuU&amp;t=3956s">to resist and alienate Israel via adherence to a BDS platform</a>.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Noura-Erakat-Adhere-to-a-BDS-Platform.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

BDS—short for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions—supporters embrace the following three tenets as a feature of the campaign:

- Boycotting all goods that originate from the state of Israel;

- Divesting all funds (private or public) that are allocated to Israel; and

- Placing sanctions exclusively on Israel.

Mr. Omar Barghouti, a co-founder of the BDS movement, admits that the ultimate outcome of these steps is the <a href="https://twitter.com/StandWithUs/status/1267561561565958144">dismantlement of the state of Israel</a>.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Professor Erakat likewise calls for Israel to be destroyed and replaced by an Arab-majority Palestinian state. As reported by The Spectator in July 2019, Ms. Erakat spoke at an event in Washington, DC, where she <a href="https://spectator.org/noura-erakat-recounts-her-anxiety-over-israels-existence/">advocated for Arabs to “help indigenize” Jews in Israel </a>in order to achieve a sole Palestinian state or a “one-state solution.”

Professor Erakat is far more brazen in calling for the outright destruction of Israel when speaking at anti-Israel protests around the country. During one march in May 2021—captured by News2Share—she called for the <a href="https://twitter.com/FordFischer/status/1393739882825195521/">liberation of Palestine, “from the river to the sea.</a>”

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Noura-Erakat-From-the-River-to-the-Sea-.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

According to the Israeli newspaper Arutz Sheva, the chant, “from the river to the sea,” was <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/291203">popularized by terrorist groups such as the Palestinian Liberation Organization</a> (PLO). The phrase alludes to the destruction of Israel—and thus the genocide of the nation’s Jews—between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1948/08/02/archives/aim-to-oust-jews-pledged-by-sheikh-head-of-moslem-brotherhood-says.html">The chant is thought to originate from the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan el-Banna</a>, who was qouted by The New York Times stating, "If the Jewish state becomes a fact, and this is realized by the Arab peoples, they will drive the Jews who live in their midst into the sea."

Even though Professor Erakat can be heard calling for the “denuclearization of Israel” in the same speech, she had in 2013 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I20HOx5zfv0&amp;ab_channel=JFhsfohhMN">condemned efforts to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program as “racist</a>.”

&nbsp;

She further <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tv/CMzhsZtBfgg/?igshid=5p918cganhq1">defended this position</a> in a video uploaded to her Instagram in March of 2021, arguing there is no contradiction in opposing sanctions for Iran while supporting sanctions on Israel.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Noura-Erakat-Instagram-Edited-.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

During a separate march in May of 2021,  Ms. Erakat can be heard chanting “By spirit and by blood, we redeem you, Palestine!” in front of the Israeli Embassy.

&nbsp;

[video width="854" height="480" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Noura-Erakat.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

In April of 2020, Noura Erakat’s cousin, Mr. Ahmed Erakat, was killed after <a href="https://www.algemeiner.com/2020/06/29/palestinian-rams-a-checkpoint-death-lies-and-videotape/">ramming his car into an Israeli checkpoint during a failed terrorist attack</a>. Despite the publication of footage verifying the incident and a pipe bomb later being found in the van by investigators, Ms. Erakat continues to claim that he was murdered by Israeli forces.

Dr. James Livingston is <a href="https://history.rutgers.edu/faculty-directory/172-livingston-james" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a tenured Professor of History</a> at Rutgers University. His specialty is listed as Modern US: Intellectual and Economic History. He considers himself an “economic historian” and professionally writes many publications about politics, economics, and working in the United States.

In his personal time, Dr. Livingston often takes to Facebook to discuss similar topics, but in a less professional manner. <a href="https://pen.org/press-clip/white-professor-accused-of-antiwhite-racism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a Facebook post from May 31, 2018</a>, Dr. Livingston denounces the white race and belligerently asserts he “hates white people.” Later in the post, he calls white Americans “little caucasian assholes who know their parents will approve of anything they do” and “little shitheads.”

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1630" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-05-at-2.29.30-PM.png" alt="" width="557" height="322" />

&nbsp;

When Facebook flagged the post and took it down, rather than apologize for his racist rant, he posted the following:

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1631" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-05-at-2.30.14-PM.png" alt="" width="604" height="188" />

&nbsp;

Shortly after his anti-white tirade, Rutgers launched an investigation into his posts. The university stated that they received several anonymous complaints about the posts, calling them to take action against the Professor. Dr. Livingston claimed he was making a statement about gentrification and told university officials that white supremacists were sending him threatening messages.

The investigation was headed by Carolyn Dellatore, the associate director of the Office of Employment Equity. <a href="https://www.thefire.org/rutgers-investigation-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Her investigation found that</a> “given Professor Livingston’s insistence on making disparaging racial comments, a reasonable student may have concerns that he or she would be stigmatized in his classes because of his or her race. As such, Professor Livingston’s comments have violated university policy.” He argued, however, that his posts were not racist because white people cannot be discriminated against. He also argued that the first amendment gave him the right to freedom of speech.

The university initially decided to sanction Dr. Livingston, but they <a href="https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/2018/11/15/no-punishment-rutgers-university-professor-over-white-people-comments-facebook/2016377002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ultimately reversed their decision</a> in November 2018, clearing him of all charges. Dr. Livingston is still teaching at Rutgers University today.

<a href="https://comminfo.rutgers.edu/kumanyika-chenjerai">Dr. Chenjerai Kumanyika</a> is an Assistant Professor at Rutgers University. Dr. Kumanyika traveled to Ferguson, MO multiple times to protest the non-indictment of the white police officer who shot Michael Brown. He was also a signatory on a letter supporting the demands from the Coalition of Concerned Students who believe in prosecuting what they call “predatory behaviors and defamatory speech,” even from social media sources. The letter also calls for building a new multi-cultural center, more support for “underrepresented groups,” increasing the number of minority faculty members, and for Clemson employees to go through diversity training. Chenjerai also orchestrated a campaign against a student senate candidate and accused a candidate of racism for posing with a gun and American flag for his campaign poster.

According to her university biography, Dr. Candela’s research focuses on Chinese History, Society, and Migrations.
A leaked syllabus for Dr. Candela’s class—“Social Change-Introduction to Sociology”— announces that in class discussions, priority will be given to people of color and women.
The syllabus—first reported on by Campus Reform—<a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/559564087/SOC-100B-2022-Spring-Syallbus-2-Redacted#download&amp;from_embed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asks students who are “white, male, or someone who is privileged by racial or gender structures</a>” to yield their questions or comments to women and “non-white folks” under the section titled “Class Discussion Guidelines.”  Dr. Candela describes the practice as “progressive stacking,” which grants preferential treatment to individuals based on skin color, sexuality, gender, and race.
“We practice progressive stacking when calling on people to participate in class discussions. This means we try to give priority to non-white folks, to women, and to shy and quiet people who rarely raise their hands. It also means that if you are a white male, or someone privileged by the racial and gender structures of our society, to have your voice easily voiced and heard, we will often ask you to hold off on your questions or comments to give others priority and will come back to you a bit later or at another time.” 
<a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/11/06/progressive-stacking-is-infiltrating-college-classrooms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professors across the country have adopted this tactic</a>. Students considered marginalized by society are called on before white males. The tactic appears to have begun during Occupy Wall Street in 2011 before spreading to academia.
Earlier in the same section, Dr. Candela quotes Chinese dictator Mao Zedong favorably,
“Mao Zedong is famous for having once said, “No investigation, no right to speak.” While a bit harsh, it helps to convey the idea that speaking during class discussions should be based on having done your investigative work.” 
<a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Mao-Zedong" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mao</a>—who chaired the Chinese Communist Party from 1935 until his death in 1976—is considered one of the deadliest heads of state in history. <a href="https://www.heritage.org/asia/commentary/the-legacy-mao-zedong-mass-murder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">An estimated 65 million Chinese perished during his regime</a>. Mao’s farming collectivization—known as the “Great Leap Forward”—contributed to upwards of 40 million of these deaths during the largest man-made famine in history.
During China’s “Cultural Revolution”, Mao enlisted students—dubbed the “Red Guard&#8221;—<a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2021/01/chinas-rebel-historians/617265/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to target teachers, intellectuals, workers, government officials, and civilians deemed insufficiently supportive of the Communist Party</a>. Millions were publicly shamed. An estimated 1.5 million people were killed before the purges ended in 1976.
The syllabus takes further care to note that masks are mandated during class. If any students arrive without a mask, Dr. Candela threatens to dismiss everyone in attendance and cancel the lecture entirely.

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

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

In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOrgf3wTUbo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TED Talk given in 2014</a>, Dr. Andrews discussed racial inequity in the education system. She argues that the education system was founded in white supremacy,  making it nearly impossible for students of color to get ahead. She claims that students of color and poor students are already behind the curve before they even step foot into the classroom, and it’s unfair to expect the same levels of success for them compared to white students.

When Dr. Andrews isn’t teaching, lecturing, or writing publications, she often takes to Twitter to discuss CRT, racial equity, and anti-white rhetoric. Some examples are below:

https://twitter.com/DrDorindaCA/status/1367512182443954178

Dr. Andrews is a critical race theorist who pushes anti-white rhetoric in the classroom. In her opinion, racism is so deeply embedded into our education system that students of color have no chance of getting ahead if critical race theory isn’t taught in the classroom. In her eyes, conservatives are only against critical race theory because they fear it paints them in a negative light.

During a rant on her personal <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lizboltz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tik Tok</a>, Dr. Ranfeld justified segregation because white people create segregated spaces “by default.”
Her comments came on the heels of the Christian university’s announcement that “listening sessions” would take place that spring.

Students at the university took to social media to express their discontent, writing how they are embarrassed to witness their university host racially segregated meetings.

The President of the University—John Pistole—defended the sessions claiming that they are the university’s attempt at “Christ-centered racial reconciliation.”
“This survey from the task force is a part of a larger project to achieve our mission of being an informed community. The collected data and feedback will directly shape the next projects and resources the university generates for the next school year,&#8221; he said. &#8220;This effort is an honest attempt to gather information to promote Christ-centered racial reconciliation.”

She stated that most spaces are white “by default” which justifies black-only spaces.
“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.”

<a href="https://politicalscience.sonoma.edu/faculty-staff/barry-preisler">Barry Preisler</a> is a Lecturer in the Political Science Department at Sonoma State University.  According to his university biography, Preisler has taught at Sonoma for over 15 years and his area of expertise is the Middle East. Preisler’s courses include International Political Economy, Modern Political Ideologies, Ideas and Institutions, and American Political Institutions. 
As revealed by a confidential source who recorded the lecture in full, Preisler accused conservatives of being “under the grasp of fascism” in Preisler’s introductory class, Modern Political Ideologies.
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-1097 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-78-e1612889473708-1024x374.png" alt="" width="580" height="212" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-78-e1612889473708-1024x374.png 1024w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-78-e1612889473708-300x109.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-78-e1612889473708-768x280.png 768w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-78-e1612889473708-1200x438.png 1200w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-78-e1612889473708.png 1299w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" />
In the same recorded lecture, Preisler stated that present-day conditions  “overlap” with fascist movements just prior to World War II. He explained that the class would be studying the rise of fascism, especially as the nation is currently witnessing the “re-emergence” of the same fascist powers.
Preisler asserted that prominent leftist academics and authors would be mandatory reading in the course, such as Naomi Klein’s, Shock Doctrine &#8211; Disaster Capitalism, Chris Hedges’, American Fascists, and selections from Noam Chomsky.
The recorded lecture continued with Preisler disparaging his students who identified as libertarians.
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-1098 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-79-e1612889584974-1024x271.png" alt="" width="580" height="153" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-79-e1612889584974-1024x271.png 1024w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-79-e1612889584974-300x79.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-79-e1612889584974-768x203.png 768w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-79-e1612889584974-1200x318.png 1200w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-79-e1612889584974.png 1299w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" />
Explaining the course’s topics, Preisler praised the constitution written during the French Revolution, stating that it was even “more extensive” than our own Bill of Rights.
The recorded lecture continued with Preisler praising Marx stating that, while he possessed “mistaken insights”, he was “dead on target” that capitalism would destroy itself. Preisler then insinuated that the alleged self-destruction of capitalism was only corrected with the New Deal’s “spectacularly successful” effort in restraining the free market.
In the same lecture sent by TPUSA’s confidential source, Preisler also insinuated that “a former president” could be easily assassinated.

Preisler’s insinuation that bullets are democratic is that bullets are indiscriminate about who they kill.

Dr. Dorinda Carter Andrews is a <a href="https://education.msu.edu/people/carter-andrews-dorinda/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chairperson and Professor</a> at Michigan State University in the College of Education. Her research interests include racial justice and educational equity. Dr. Andrews has published articles for many media outlets and journals and has given two <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3N23MXsow8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TED Talks</a> in relation to critical race theory and racial gaps in education.
<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1720" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.42.13-AM.png" alt="" width="482" height="186" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.42.13-AM.png 482w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.42.13-AM-300x116.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 482px) 100vw, 482px" />
In an <a href="https://www.hourdetroit.com/education-schools/a-critical-race-theory-expert-on-how-something-benign-became-toxic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article for Hour Detroit</a>, Dr. Andrews accuses conservatives of “gaslighting” by being against critical race theory. Dr. Andrews alleges conservatives “cry CRT” any time an educator teaches something from America’s history that puts them in a “bad light,” even if it’s true. She goes on to insinuate that conservatives don’t want educators teaching black history at all.
<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1721" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.43.29-AM.png" alt="" width="554" height="183" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.43.29-AM.png 554w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.43.29-AM-300x99.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px" />
Dr. Andrews has lectured all over the nation about critical race theory. In the video below from June 2021, she identifies as a critical race theorist:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Dorinda Carter Andrews - &quot;I am a critical race theorist&quot;" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8cIOWFdt-Os?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOrgf3wTUbo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TED Talk given in 2014</a>, Dr. Andrews discussed racial inequity in the education system. She argues that the education system was founded in white supremacy,  making it nearly impossible for students of color to get ahead. She claims that students of color and poor students are already behind the curve before they even step foot into the classroom, and it’s unfair to expect the same levels of success for them compared to white students.

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

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.

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

<a href="https://www.unr.edu/psychology/faculty/mariann-weierich" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Mariann Weierich</a> is the James K. and Lois Merritt Mikawa Distinguished Associate Professor of Psychology at the <a href="https://www.unr.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Nevada-Reno</a>.
In a class-wide email—<a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/leaked-email-from-unhinged-leftist-professor-defies-mask-mandate-directive-at-u-of-nevada-reno" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which was provided to the Professor Watchlist and TPUSA LIVE teams</a>—Dr. Weierich informs students that her classroom will have reserved sections to separate students with and without masks. The first several rows will be reserved for those with masks while those who chose not to wear them will have to sit in the back. Students are required to move seats if asked.
<img loading="lazy" class="size-large wp-image-1991 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screen-Shot-2022-03-03-at-6.16.57-PM-1024x542.png" alt="" width="580" height="307" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screen-Shot-2022-03-03-at-6.16.57-PM-1024x542.png 1024w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screen-Shot-2022-03-03-at-6.16.57-PM-300x159.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screen-Shot-2022-03-03-at-6.16.57-PM-768x407.png 768w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screen-Shot-2022-03-03-at-6.16.57-PM.png 1067w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" />
&nbsp;
Students arrived to find that Dr. Weierich had posted the announcement which partitioned the first three rows of her class for masked students.
“FIRST THREE ROWS ARE RESERVED for students who have chosen to continue wearing masks. [sic] (we will revise the plan depending on numbers) Please respect their decision and please change seats if asked.”
She then proceeds to explain the exam policy for masked and unmasked students. Unmasked students will have to write any questions by hand before stepping back six feet from the instructor.
“For Student Questions During the Exam: If you ARE wearing a mask, please come to the room to ask your question, or wait until the end to ask just before you turn in your exam.” 
“If you ARE NOT wearing a mask, please write your question on your exam, wait until the end just before you turn in your exam, and at that time hand the question to Prof or TA and step back ~6 feet while we read and answer the question.”

&nbsp;
By all accounts, this is not an isolated incident at UNR. The TPUSA LIVE and Professor Watchlist teams were informed by several students and identified other reports of professors who still require masks to enter class, separate students based on whether they wear a mask, and even move classes outside in the snow if too many students are not wearing masks.

The phrase, “from the river to the sea”, was <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/291203" target="_blank" rel="noopener">popularized by terrorist groups such as the Palestinian Liberation Organization</a> (PLO) and alludes to the destruction of Israel—and thus the genocide of the nation’s Jews—between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1948/08/02/archives/aim-to-oust-jews-pledged-by-sheikh-head-of-moslem-brotherhood-says.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The chant is thought to originate from the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan el-Banna</a>, who was quoted by The New York Times stating, &#8220;If the Jewish state becomes a fact, and this is realized by the Arab peoples, they will drive the Jews who live in their midst into the sea.&#8221;
Dr. Jarrar—<a href="https://randajarrar.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who grew up in Egypt and Kuwait</a>—would later reveal that she attended PLO “after-school programs” to learn “resistance songs.”

Further statements range from <a href="https://www.salon.com/2014/03/18/i_still_cant_stand_white_belly_dancers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accusing white belly dancers of cultural appropriation</a> to demanding that all <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=11161" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white editors step down from their positions</a>.
<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/professor-randa-jarrar-under-fire-for-calling-barbara-bush-a-racist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In 2018, Jarrar came under fire</a> after tweeting about former first lady, Barbara Bush, after her death. In one tweet about the former First Lady, she called Barbara Bush an “amazing racist” who “raised a war criminal.” In another tweet, she claimed to be “happy the witch is dead.”
After experiencing blowback for her remarks, Dr. Jarrar taunted her followers by claiming that she is a tenured professor who makes $100,000 a year and will never be fired.
When the university was asked to comment, <a href="http://www.fresnostatenews.com/2018/04/24/president-joseph-i-castro-letter-on-conclusion-of-review-regarding-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Castro stated</a>, “We share the deep concerns expressed by others over the personal comments made today by Professor Randa Jarrar, a professor in the English Department at Fresno State. Her statements were made as a private citizen, not as a representative of Fresno State.”
Dr. Jarrar faced no repercussions and returned to her teaching duties soon-there-after.
In the midst of the controversy, Dr. Jarrar wrote, “If you really wanna reach me, here’s my number ok?”, before <a href="https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/tempe/2018/04/19/fresno-state-professor-randa-jarrar-prank-floods-asu-hotline-barbara-bush/532486002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posting the landline of the ASU crisis line, causing the center to become inundated with calls</a>.

Fresno State University

<a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/socialsciences/historydept/faculty/faculty-lmaischak.html">Lars Maischak</a> is a lecturer in the Department of History at <a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/">California State University, Fresno</a>. According to his university <a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/socialsciences/historydept/faculty/faculty-lmaischak.html">biography</a>, Maischak teaches the courses, Colonial Americas, American History to 1877, England and Empire, United States 1789-1865, and Topics in History - Marx and Hegel for Historians. Maischak uses his personal Twitter account to call for the execution of the 45th President, Donald Trump, and refers to conservatives as fascists.

Maischak claims that fascism is the eventual result of capitalism in a paper titled, <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h6fiDilfQWGpUrKEh2zzCrBo_iOUHA8C/view">There can be no Democracy without Socialism</a>, shared on Google Drive. Describing fascism as the “creature of capitalism,” Maischak claims that capitalism facilitates the exploitation of workers, or what he describes as the establishment of a “dictatorship of capital over labor."

Maischak further <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h6fiDilfQWGpUrKEh2zzCrBo_iOUHA8C/view">cites</a> the territorial expansion, slave labor, and the outlawing of unions in Nazi Germany as examples of capitalism’s logical end. He later describes the liberties inherent in capitalism as the freedom to commit mass murder and barbarism.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1321 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-04-22T164305.081-e1619135018830-1024x456.png" alt="" width="580" height="258" />

Maischak called for the assassination of then-President Donald Trump via hanging in now-deleted tweets on his personal Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/LMaischak">account</a> in February of 2017.

<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170409043955if_/https://twitter.com/LarsMaischak/status/833443673220145152"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1313" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-22-at-3.00.24-PM.png" alt="" width="400" height="175" /></a>

According to a <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/04/07/professor-trump-must-hang-republicans-should-be-executed-for-each-immigrant-deported/">Daily Caller </a>report, Maischak additionally calls for an “ethnic cleansing” of Republicans.

“#TheResistance #ethniccleansing Justice = The execution of two Republicans for each deported immigrant.” - Lars Maischak

Once Maischak’s tweets were published by outlets like the <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/04/07/professor-trump-must-hang-republicans-should-be-executed-for-each-immigrant-deported/">Daily Caller</a> and <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/local/2017/04/13/fresno-state-fbi-secret-service-probing-history-instructor-over-trump-must-hang-tweet/">Breitbart</a>, Maischak offered an initial apology for his remarks. In a written statement to the <a href="https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article144293174.html">Fresno Bee</a>, Maischak asks for forgiveness and states, “It was never my intent to harm anyone, nor to encourage others to harm anyone.”

According to <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/08/07/after-anti-trump-tweets-fresno-state-removes-adjunct-professor-teaching-position">Inside Higher Ed</a>, Maischak’s classes were canceled by the university before he was later removed from his position following his remarks about President Trump. However, as of March 2021, Fresno State University still <a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/socialsciences/historydept/faculty/faculty-lmaischak.html">lists</a> Maischak as a Lecturer in the History department. In addition, his personal Twitter account still <a href="https://twitter.com/LMaischak">contains</a> tweets calling for former president Donald Trump to be hanged, and tweets referring to conservatives as “fascists” that must face “repression” that have not been removed or recanted.

<a href="https://twitter.com/LMaischak/status/1346926703105359872"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1314" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-22-at-3.06.25-PM.png" alt="" width="450" height="248" /></a>

<a href="https://twitter.com/LMaischak/status/1341342574208925697"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1315" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-22-at-3.08.17-PM.png" alt="" width="450" height="229" /></a>

Following initial coverage of Maischak’s remarks in 2017, the Fresno Bee <a href="https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article144293174.html">reports</a> that University President, Joseph Castro, stated in a conference call with reporters that he was cooperating with an investigation of Maischak by the Secret Service, Homeland Security, and the FBI. Following this statement, Fresno Bee also <a href="https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article144293174.html">reported</a> that Maischak then accused President Castro of allowing himself to be used by a “right-wing smear machine” for cooperating with the investigation.

The Professor Watchlist team reached out to Maischak for comment but has not received a reply by the time of publication.

<a href="http://fresnostate.edu/chhs/public-health/faculty-staff/faculty/thatcher.html">Dr. William Thatcher </a>is a Professor of Public Health at Fresno State University.

<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.” 
“&#8230;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://www.uh.edu/class/ccs/people/nicholas-de-genova/">Dr. Nicholas De Genova</a> is a professor and the Chair of the Department of Comparative Cultural Studies at the University of Houston. His university biography describes him as a scholar of migration, borders, citizenship, labor, critical race, postcolonial, and ethnic studies. Dr. De Genova is an ardent advocate for abolishing national borders and has called for the death of American soldiers.
In an interview for the <a href="https://lnu.se/en/research/searchresearch/linnaeus-university-centre-for-concurrences-in-colonial-and-postcolonial-studies/">Centre for Concurrences in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies</a>, Dr. De Genova <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkF0I1Z9eGo">describes his work in postcolonial studies</a> as taking the free movement of people across borders as a “natural element of the human condition.&#8221; At one point in the interview, Dr. De Genova implies that national borders should be abolished.

Continuing, Dr. De Genova states that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkF0I1Z9eGo">national borders are the most violent divisions that humanity has constructed</a>.
&nbsp;
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-2" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/De-Genova-Borders-are-the-most-violent.....mp4?_=2" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/De-Genova-Borders-are-the-most-violent.....mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/De-Genova-Borders-are-the-most-violent.....mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
Throughout his work, Dr. De Genova claims that borders are used to elicit racial strife. In a piece written for the Journal of the American Anthropological Association, Dr. De Genova alleges there are <a href="http://www.americananthropologist.org/2020/03/23/everything-is-permitted-trump-white-supremacy-fascism/">parallels between Trump’s policies on the US-Mexico border and a “brutal and bellicose racial nativism” of conservative support for restrictive immigration policies. </a>
In the same paper, Dr. De Genova describes conservatives as fascists who are fomenting a racial civil war against people of color and illegal immigrants through the enforcement of immigration laws. He states:
“We must interrogate the synergies between, on the one hand, the variety of ways that Trump’s supporters are induced to endorse or emulate this brutal and bellicose racial nativism and, on the other hand, the outright cruelty and sadism, of the Trump administration’s border-enforcement tactics and the racist violence that they have institutionalized.” 
Dr. De Genova describes the United States as a nation that embodies white nationalism. Quoting author Wahneema Lubiano, Dr. De Genova states that <a href="http://www.americananthropologist.org/2020/03/23/everything-is-permitted-trump-white-supremacy-fascism/">American history has always “been some form” of white nationalism</a>.

&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/2003/03/31/letters-editorprofessor-qualifies-quotation-article-and-addresses-criticism/">In an open letter published by The Columbia Spectator,</a> Dr. De Genova described the United States as an emblem of white nationalism. Alleging the formation of the United States constituted racism and imperialism, Dr. De Genova called on Americans to “repudiate all forms of patriotism.”
The letter is a response to the public outcry to his teach-in at Columbia University, where Dr. De Genova called for “<a href="https://nypost.com/2003/03/31/prof-pilloried-columbia-community-condemns-words-of-hate/">a million Mogadishus” to be inflicted against American troops in Iraq</a>.

The professor is referring to the Black Hawk Down incident that occurred in Somalia during the <a href="https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/ambush/etc/cron.html">Battle of Mogadishu in 1993</a>,  where 18 American soldiers were killed and over 70 were wounded. Pictures later emerged of <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/legacy-black-hawk-down-180971000/">the bodies of the servicemen being dragged through the streets</a> by Somalian militia groups. The demoralizing aftermath is considered to have contributed to the decision of then-President Bill Clinton to withdraw America’s humanitarian mission from the country.
In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Dr. De Genova serves as the chair of the Special Committee on Race and Social Justice at the University of Houston. <a href="https://uh.edu/class/about-us/race-and-social-justice-committee/">According to the university’s official website</a>, the committee organizes events to educate students about topics such as the “racial formation of modern capitalism, mass incarceration, racism in academia, and the “racial underpinnings for contemporary immigration policy and border policing.” according to the University’s official site.

In a piece written for the Journal of the American Anthropological Association, Dr. De Genova alleges there are <a href="http://www.americananthropologist.org/2020/03/23/everything-is-permitted-trump-white-supremacy-fascism/">parallels between Trump’s policies on the US-Mexico border and a “brutal and bellicose racial nativism” of conservative support for restrictive immigration policies. </a>

In the same paper, Dr. De Genova describes conservatives as fascists who are fomenting a racial civil war against people of color and illegal immigrants through the enforcement of immigration laws. He states:

“We must interrogate the synergies between, on the one hand, the variety of ways that Trump’s supporters are induced to endorse or emulate this brutal and bellicose racial nativism and, on the other hand, the outright cruelty and sadism, of the Trump administration’s border-enforcement tactics and the racist violence that they have institutionalized.” 

Dr. De Genova describes the United States as a nation that embodies white nationalism. Quoting author Wahneema Lubiano, Dr. De Genova states that <a href="http://www.americananthropologist.org/2020/03/23/everything-is-permitted-trump-white-supremacy-fascism/">American history has always “been some form” of white nationalism</a>.

<a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/2003/03/31/letters-editorprofessor-qualifies-quotation-article-and-addresses-criticism/">In an open letter published by The Columbia Spectator,</a> Dr. De Genova described the United States as an emblem of white nationalism. Alleging the formation of the United States constituted racism and imperialism, Dr. De Genova called on Americans to “repudiate all forms of patriotism.”

The letter is a response to the public outcry to his teach-in at Columbia University, where Dr. De Genova called for “<a href="https://nypost.com/2003/03/31/prof-pilloried-columbia-community-condemns-words-of-hate/">a million Mogadishus” to be inflicted against American troops in Iraq</a>.

The professor is referring to the Black Hawk Down incident that occurred in Somalia during the <a href="https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/ambush/etc/cron.html">Battle of Mogadishu in 1993</a>,  where 18 American soldiers were killed and over 70 were wounded. Pictures later emerged of <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/legacy-black-hawk-down-180971000/">the bodies of the servicemen being dragged through the streets</a> by Somalian militia groups. The demoralizing aftermath is considered to have contributed to the decision of then-President Bill Clinton to withdraw America’s humanitarian mission from the country.

In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Dr. De Genova serves as the chair of the Special Committee on Race and Social Justice at the University of Houston. <a href="https://uh.edu/class/about-us/race-and-social-justice-committee/">According to the university’s official website</a>, the committee organizes events to educate students about topics such as the “racial formation of modern capitalism, mass incarceration, racism in academia, and the “racial underpinnings for contemporary immigration policy and border policing.” according to the University’s official site.

The Professor Watchlist Team has reached Dr. De Genova for comment but has not received a reply by the time of publication.
