<a href="https://afamstudies.yale.edu/people/phillip-atiba-solomon-fka-goff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Phillip Atiba Solomon</a> (formerly known as Phillip Atiba Goff) holds three positions at Yale University:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Chair of African American Studies</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Carl I. Holland Professor of African Studies</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Professor of Psychology</li>
</ul>
Solomon’s faculty profile says, “He quickly became a national leader in the science of racial bias by pioneering scientific experiments that exposed how our minds learn to associate [b]lackness and crime implicitly — often with deadly consequences.”
Solomon also co-founded the <a href="https://policingequity.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Policing Equity</a>. According to the “What We Do” page, the organization claims to “promote justice” by:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Reducing harm within existing law enforcement systems, pursuing strategies that address the racist behaviors, policies, and practices of law enforcement.” </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Redesigning and implementing new models that safeguard and empower communities to enhance and maintain collective public safety.”</li>
</ul>
In 2019, Solomon <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/dr_phillip_atiba_solomon_how_we_can_make_racism_a_solvable_problem_and_improve_policing/footnotes?referrer=playlist-talks_to_help_you_understand_r&amp;delay=2m&amp;subtitle=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presented a TEDx Talk</a> titled “How we can make racism a solvable problem — and improve policing.” In his introduction, he said:
“Police chiefs like talking to me because I’m an expert on a problem that feels impossible for them to solve: racism in their profession. Now my expertise comes from being a scientist, who studies how our minds learn to associate blackness and crime and misperceive black children as older than they actually are.”

Although the statistics show that “a higher percentage of blacks (4%) and Hispanics (3%) than whites (2%) experience threats or use of force,” a <a href="https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/topic-pages/tables/table-43" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2019 FBI report</a> reveals black people commit higher rates of murder/manslaughter and robbery.

Solomon contributed an <a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/01/abolition-isn-t-a-relic-of-our-past-it-s-the-key-to-revitalising-democracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion editorial</a> to the World Economic Forum entitled “‘Abolition’ isn’t a relic of our past. It’s the key to revitalizing democracy.” He opened by asking, “Are you an abolitionist?” and lists flashpoints of history where the term was used to fight slavery (e.g. Emancipation Proclamation, Abraham Lincoln). He proceeded to write:
“Abolition, however, is not a relic of history. It is an ongoing movement to rethink the systems that produce inequity and build a society that values the lives of the most vulnerable. It permeates almost every issue that the World Economic Forum includes on its <a href="https://www.weforum.org/events/the-davos-agenda-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021 Agenda</a>, from COVID-19 to tax policy.”
He further encouraged readers to take on a mindset of “abolition democracy,” the term coined by radical activist and NAACP co-founder, <a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/society/web-du-bois-black-reconstruction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">W.E.B. Du Bois</a>. Solomon <a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/01/abolition-isn-t-a-relic-of-our-past-it-s-the-key-to-revitalising-democracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>:
“In my own work as the CEO and Co-Founder of the Center for Policing Equity, that means fundamentally reimagining public safety … It means measuring justice along with crime, and aligning our mechanisms of public safety with the values of the communities — particularly communities that have historically faced discrimination and disinvestment.”
“Charity alone, kindness from those who have benefitted most from institutions that marginalize the vulnerable, cannot lead us to justice. Abolition democracy, the working of rebuilding our systems with equity at their core, just might be able to.”

Yale University

<a href="https://provost.yale.edu/people/jason-killheffer">Jason Killheffer</a> is the Assistant Provost of Academic Integrity Programs at Yale University. As part of an undercover operation by James O’Keefe and Project Veritas, Killheffer called the Constitution propaganda. He told an undercover journalist “If your freedom of expression impacts other people’s ability to engage actively in the community, to engage in their education or really take full advantage of everything that the university has to offer, then that’s when things cross that line.” In other words, Killheffer believes that being triggered by a Constitution is a valid reason for the university to step in and possibly prevent distribution.

Daniel Martinez HoSang is <a href="https://politicalscience.yale.edu/people/daniel-hosang" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an Associate Professor</a> of Ethnicity, Race &amp; Migration and American Studies at Yale University. He has written many publications and focuses his work on racism and race in politics. He holds strong opinions about conservatives and has both written and lectured several times on the subject.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1633" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-05-at-2.54.00-PM.png" alt="" width="528" height="166" />

Dr. HoSang recently wrote a book with <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/josephlowndes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Joseph Lowndes</a>, who is also on the Professor Watchlist. The book, titled “<a href="https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/producers-parasites-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Producers, Parasites, Patriots: Race and the New Right-Wing Politics of Precarity</a>,” discusses white supremacy in conservative politics. In the book, Dr. HoSang accuses conservatives of being racist and participating in “multiracial white supremacy.”

According to Dr. HoSang, white conservatives work to maintain their economic power while also highlighting and praising minority conservatives in an effort to portray the concept that they aren’t racist.

https://twitter.com/yale/status/1292782749611429888?lang=en

Dr. HoSang has also recently become involved in K-12 learning. He was one of the founders of an organization in Connecticut called the <a href="https://antiracistteaching.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racist Teaching and Learning Collective</a>, or ARTLC. The organization works with students and teachers alike to push anti-racism, and in turn, Critical Race Theory, in K-12 schools across Connecticut. In an article for the CT Mirror, Dr. HoSang alleges that “if we want to address racism in society at large, we have to address it in policing, and housing, and health care — but we also need to address it in the 3rd grade music classroom, in the 7th grade social studies classroom.”

https://twitter.com/AAPolicyForum/status/1415803068617220096

Dr. HoSang also leads workshops for K-12 teachers that perpetuate the ideals that racism runs deep in education and teaching across all subjects. He helps teachers create curriculum centered on anti-racism and Critical Race Theory.  In the summers of 2020 and 2021, Dr. HoSang was a core faculty member of the AAPF’s Critical Race Theory Summer School lecture series for teachers and scholars. The program’s purpose is to counter conservative and republican efforts to keep Critical Race Theory out of the classroom.

According to the DailyMail, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11418747/Yale-sophomore-student-20-reveals-hid-attempted-suicide-college-raped.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paul Hoffman is the psychologist</a> in charge of student mental health at Yale University. Hoffman is at the center of a story involving Yale’s policies that ban suicidal students from campus. 

DailyMail said, “To return to class, [students] must reapply - writing an essay, and sending in letters of recommendation…Those who left for mental health reasons also had to demonstrate to Yale that they’d addressed their problems.”

Hoffman’s <a href="https://medicine.yale.edu/profile/paul-hoffman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">university profile</a> says he’s Chief of Mental Health and Counseling, Voluntary Faculty for Departments and Organizations, and the <a href="https://yalehealth.yale.edu/directory/clinicians/paul-hoffman-phd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Director of Mental Health</a> and Counseling for Yale. No further information is available regarding Hoffman’s employment.

After a student attempted suicide, Hoffman attended an unpublicized Zoom call between the student, her parents, and Yale representatives. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/11/11/yale-suicides-mental-health-withdrawals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post reported</a>, “In an interview, Hoffman and other Yale officials declined to discuss Yale’s withdrawal policies or specific student cases.”

Washington Post continued, “As soon as the Zoom call with Hoffman ended, hospital staffers handed [the student her cellphone]. She began typing out the email Hoffman had asked her to send.” The email eventually played a role in the student’s expulsion. 

Yale’s <a href="https://yalecollege.yale.edu/policies-procedures/leave-absence-withdrawal-and-reinstatement#:~:text=Any%20student%20may%20voluntarily%20withdraw,activities%2C%20or%20use%20University%20facilities." target="_blank" rel="noopener">mandatory medical withdrawal and reinstatement</a> policy says, 

"Any student may voluntarily withdraw; Yale College also reserves the right to require students to withdraw in certain cases. Students on withdrawal may not stay in residencies on campus, attend classes, participate in extracurricular activities, or use University facilities. They may come to campus only upon receiving prior permission from their residential college dean or the Dean of Student Affairs.”

<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11418747/Yale-sophomore-student-20-reveals-hid-attempted-suicide-college-raped.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to DailyMail</a>, Hoffman said mandatory medical withdrawals are “very rarely used.” The source also said, “Hoffman said the majority of students are now able to keep therapy appointments within two weeks, and Yale is planning on increasing its mental health resources.”

<a href="https://medicine.yale.edu/psychiatry/psychology/profile/christy_olezeski/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christy Olezeski</a> is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Yale University. She serves as the Director and Co-Founder of the Yale Pediatric Gender Program. 

In a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/yale-professor-blasted-program-working-3-year-olds-gender-journey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">now-deleted video</a>, Olezeski states, “the Yale gender program, is an interdisciplinary program working with gender-expansive individuals 3-25.” Continuing, she says the program “helps individuals who are questioning their gender identity as transgender or non-binary” and vows to help children on “their gender journey.”

The <a href="https://www.yalemedicine.org/departments/pediatric-gender-program" target="_blank" rel="noopener">program’s website</a> claims that surgeries are only preformed on individuals over the age of 18. The website further alleges, “Social transition is the only medically accepted form of gender-affirming care–and the only form of care we provide–for that age group.” 

Continuing it states, “Some youth are exploring their identity. Others know that how they feel inside does not match up with the gender they were assigned at birth. We help sort through these questions.” 

Yale has since deleted the YouTube video in which Olezeski discusses the gender program. She has also made her personal social media pages private.

<a href="https://medicine.yale.edu/profile/meredithe-mcnamara/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meredithe McNamara</a>, MD, is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Affiliate Faculty at Yale School of Medicine. Her university profile says she “cares for youth aged 11–25” and is interested in “implementing best practices in the care of youth facing complex trauma and high-risk social situations.” Dr. McNamara’s Yale New Haven Health <a href="https://www.ynhh.org/physicians/meredithe-mcnamara" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profile</a> biography states:
“Adolescent medicine is a one-stop shopping for all of a youth’s health needs, including general care, mental health and coping with trauma…safe sex and birth control, substance use support, and gender-affirming care.”
In a video titled “<a href="https://vimeo.com/839075778" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gender Transition in Young People</a>,” Dr. McNamara is asked how policies that restrict gender transition in minors affect their mental health. She stated:
“They’re very harmful to the mental health of trans and gender-diverse young people. The intrusion of legal interference in standard healthcare is not something that we’re really used to. This is kind of like a brand new and dangerous force that’s infiltrating not only our healthcare but also our social networks…”
She goes on to say that sex reassignment bans are “causing a lot of existential dread” and “deprive young people of life-saving healthcare that affirms who they are.”

Dr. McNamara appeared as a guest on <a href="https://youtu.be/9iHKUJPvjtc">News Nation</a>, with host Chris Cuomo, where she advocated for transitioning children from an early age:

In a <a href="https://ysph.yale.edu/news-article/day-of-silence-q-and-a/">Yale article</a> titled “Day of Silence Q + A with Meredithe McNamara,” Dr. McNamara further claims that “anti-gay legislation” negatively threatens the health and rights of LGBTQ people in five ways: 
“(1) perpetuates stigma and disrupts access to healthcare…
(2) leads to social and economic marginalization…
(3) gives tacit approval for violence and harassment,
 (4) worsens mental health, and 
(5) fuels persecution.”

<a href="https://wgss.yale.edu/people/kalindi-vora" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kalindi Vora</a> is a Professor of Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies as well as Ethnicity, Race, and Migration at Yale University. Vora’s <a href="https://americanstudies.yale.edu/people/kalindi-vora" target="_blank" rel="noopener">areas of research</a> include:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Feminist Science and Technology Studies”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Postcolonial Studies”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Critical Race &amp; Ethnic Studies/American Studies”</li>
</ul>
The description for Vora’s course “<a href="https://www.kalindivora.com/teaching" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Feminist Futures</a>” states,
“To understand speculation as a political practice, this course brings together critical texts from materialist theory, feminist science studies, queer kinship and affect studies (including queer of color critique), women of color feminism and transnational ethnic studies…”
Vora’s “Marxist Thought” class “examines critical engagements between scholarship from postcolonial, feminist and other radical Marxist traditions” while focusing on “philosophical and political debates stemming from issues of race and gender…”

Vora <a href="https://www.kalindivora.com/media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared</a> on The Harmony Show podcast alongside a co-host who identified as a “robosexual/idolator” to discuss Vora’s book “Surrogate Humanity: Race Robots and the Politics of Technological Futures.” She described the concept of the book:
“[T]he whole book is trying to explain how we think that this is a new kind of antiracist and feminist analytic that we can use to think through the way that racial and gender politics come up around labor in technology…
“And we start the book by thinking alongside the historian and black feminist, Saidiya Hartman, who wrote a book called ‘Scenes of Subjection.’ In that book, Hartman talks about the concept of the surrogate…in the context of US chattel slavery.”

In 2017, the University of California, Davis <a href="https://research.ucdavis.edu/fri_director/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> Vora as the Director of its Feminist Research Institute (FRI). The institute exists as a “collaborative, trans-disciplinary hub for exploring how gender, sexuality, race, and other social structures inform the design, execution, and interpretation of research.”

During her time as the Director, Vora led a <a href="https://fri.ucdavis.edu/news/kalindi-vora-and-sarah-mccullough-antiracist-approaches-sts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discussion</a> on “antiracist approaches to STS [science, technology and society].” She also joined a <a href="https://fri.ucdavis.edu/events/mellon-racial-capitalism-speaker-series" target="_blank" rel="noopener">panel discussion</a> to analyze “racial capitalism” and <a href="https://fri.ucdavis.edu/news/director-kalindi-voras-feministfutures-closing-remarks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared in an article</a> explaining “abolitionist care.” 

Vora defines abolitionist care as “an antidote to violence that demands a [commitment] to maintaining, repairing and attending survivors of violence while [fighting] capitalism’s anti-rationality [and] the materiality enforced by racial capitalism.”

<a href="https://ysph.yale.edu/profile/megan-ranney/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megan Ranney</a> is the Dean of Yale University’s School of Public Health. Her research focuses on “developing, testing, and disseminating digital health interventions to prevent violence and related behavioral health problems, as well as on COVID-related risk reduction.” Ranney previously served as the Warren Alpert Endowed Professor of Emergency Medicine at Brown University.

In an <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/17/opinions/public-trust-in-scientists-ranney-jetelina/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion editorial for CNN</a>, Ranney addressed the decline in trust of physicians due to the over-administering of COVID-19 vaccines. Ranney writes:
“[Physicians are] worried about what lies ahead if we don’t turn the ship on trust in science. Imagine if there’s another pandemic, a climate disaster or a biosecurity hazard like anthrax—and we haven’t fixed the trust problem. Think about what might happen if we, as a country, stop funding the science innovation that has allowed our dramatic gains in human health. And what if more Americans refuse to get their kids vaccinated or if our public health institutions are shut down?”
On November 29, 2023, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gun-crime-expert-blasts-red-state-cherry-picking-by-yale-professor-in-senate-hearing-political-bias" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News featured Ranney</a> in an article titled “Gun crime expert blasts red state ‘cherry-picking’ by Yale professor in Senate hearing: ‘Political bias.’” While testifying before Congress about gun violence, Ranney was suspected of naming certain states based on her political ideology.

When asked why she thought “Chicago has become America’s largest outdoor shooting range?”, Fox said, “Ranney responded by comparing Chicago to three [conservative-led] states and claiming Mississippi, Louisiana and Missouri ‘actually have higher firearm death rates.’”

When further pressed about Chicago’s crime statistics, Ranney stated:
“I think there’s easy access to firearms combined with environmental conditions, lack of great education. There have actually been studies that when you green vacant lots and repair abandoned buildings in urban neighborhoods you see decreases in gunshots and violence as well as stress and depression in the neighborhoods around them.”
<a href="https://president.yale.edu/president/yale-talk/approaching-gun-violence-public-health-issue" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During her talk</a> with Yale University President Peter Salovey, Ranney <a href="https://president.yale.edu/sites/default/files/yaletalkepisode39-ranney-transcript.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded to the question</a> of funding for firearm death research:
“The biggest reason is that from 1996-2020, there was virtually no federal funding…partly because it wasn’t defined as a public health problem, but partly because in 1996 [a representative] from Arkansas…passed the Dickey Amendment, which told the CDC that it was prohibited from using funds to promote or advocate for gun control.”

Solomon also co-founded the <a href="https://policingequity.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Policing Equity</a>. According to the “What We Do” page, the organization claims to “promote justice” by:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Reducing harm within existing law enforcement systems, pursuing strategies that address the racist behaviors, policies, and practices of law enforcement.” </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Redesigning and implementing new models that safeguard and empower communities to enhance and maintain collective public safety.”</li>
</ul>
In 2019, Solomon <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/dr_phillip_atiba_solomon_how_we_can_make_racism_a_solvable_problem_and_improve_policing/footnotes?referrer=playlist-talks_to_help_you_understand_r&amp;delay=2m&amp;subtitle=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presented a TEDx Talk</a> titled “How we can make racism a solvable problem — and improve policing.” In his introduction, he said:
“Police chiefs like talking to me because I’m an expert on a problem that feels impossible for them to solve: racism in their profession. Now my expertise comes from being a scientist, who studies how our minds learn to associate blackness and crime and misperceive black children as older than they actually are.”

A 2023 revised version of the <a href="https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/cbpp18st.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. Department of Justice document</a> entitled “Contacts Between Police and the Public, 2018–Statistics Tables” shows that out of 61.5 million American residents who had contact with police that “whites (26%) were more likely than blacks (21%), Hispanics (19%), or persons of other races (20%) to experience police contact.” 

Although the statistics show that “a higher percentage of blacks (4%) and Hispanics (3%) than whites (2%) experience threats or use of force,” a <a href="https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/topic-pages/tables/table-43" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2019 FBI report</a> reveals black people commit higher rates of murder/manslaughter and robbery. These are daunting demographics considering black people make up <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/fact-sheet/facts-about-the-us-black-population/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">14% of the total population</a> in the United States (depending on the source of information).

Solomon contributed an <a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/01/abolition-isn-t-a-relic-of-our-past-it-s-the-key-to-revitalising-democracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion editorial</a> to the World Economic Forum entitled “‘Abolition’ isn’t a relic of our past. It’s the key to revitalizing democracy.” He opened by asking, “Are you an abolitionist?” and lists flashpoints of history where the term was used to fight slavery (e.g. Emancipation Proclamation, Abraham Lincoln). He proceeded to write:

“Abolition, however, is not a relic of history. It is an ongoing movement to rethink the systems that produce inequity and build a society that values the lives of the most vulnerable. It permeates almost every issue that the World Economic Forum includes on its <a href="https://www.weforum.org/events/the-davos-agenda-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021 Agenda</a>, from COVID-19 to tax policy.”

He further encouraged readers to take on a mindset of “abolition democracy,” the term coined by radical activist and NAACP co-founder, <a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/society/web-du-bois-black-reconstruction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">W.E.B. Du Bois</a>. Solomon <a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/01/abolition-isn-t-a-relic-of-our-past-it-s-the-key-to-revitalising-democracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>:
“In my own work as the CEO and Co-Founder of the Center for Policing Equity, that means fundamentally reimagining public safety … It means measuring justice along with crime, and aligning our mechanisms of public safety with the values of the communities — particularly communities that have historically faced discrimination and disinvestment.”
“Charity alone, kindness from those who have benefitted most from institutions that marginalize the vulnerable, cannot lead us to justice. Abolition democracy, the working of rebuilding our systems with equity at their core, just might be able to.”

After the 2024 U.S. General Election, Calhoun is facing criticism after telling Vice President Kamala Harris supporters to disassociate from relatives who voted for President-Elect Donald Trump. She explained her reasoning on the MSNBC show The ReidOut:

“So, if you are going through a situation where you have family members or you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you, that are against your livelihood, then it’s completely fine to not be around those people, and to tell them why.”

She goes on to say, “This is particularly true when working as a White faculty member, operating with high levels of White fragility, within a system of higher education cloaked in Whiteness.”

EXCLUSIVE - <a href="http://www.campusdirectory.gsu.edu/#person/tbolsen">Toby W. Bolsen</a>—Professor of Political Science at Georgia State University—is a convicted child sex offender who appears on the <a href="https://www.nsopw.gov/en/Search/Results" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI’s national registry</a>.

On June 6th, 2001, a warrant was <a href="https://www.judici.com/courts/cases/case_history.jsp?court=IL070015J&amp;ocl=IL070015J,2001CF39,IL070015JL2001CF39D1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued for Dr. Boslen by the Department of Moultrie County, Illinois for criminal sexual assault.</a> The 25-year-old Bolsen was charged with and pleaded guilty to Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse against a 17-year-old girl, with a bail set at $50,000.

He received a sentence of 180 days in jail, 48 months of probation, and was forced to register as a sex offender in addition to paying restitution to the victims. <a href="https://www2.illinois.gov/idoc/OFFENDER/Pages/InmateSearch.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to Illinois prison records, Dr. Bolsen has completed his parole</a>, likely before 2009.

According to Illinois state law, an individual may be charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse if they are <a href="https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/fulltext.asp?DocName=072000050K11-1.60" target="_blank" rel="noopener">5 years older than the victim, threatened the victim, or physically harmed the victim during the assault of an underage woman.</a><a href="https://isp.illinois.gov/Sor/Details/X01B3928?x=24289ef3-7857-45ff-8169-9a6ef5c98b62" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-2256" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Screen-Shot-2022-06-10-at-3.02.40-PM-1024x461.png" alt="" width="500" height="225" /></a>

The Rockford Register Star reports that Dr. Bolsen was a <a href="https://www.rrstar.com/story/news/state/2007/10/20/more-than-2-dozen-illinois/44636388007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scholastic Bowl coach at Sullivan High School in Moultrie County at the time of his conviction</a>. Dr. Bolsen was also one of twenty-five Ilinois teachers disciplined within a two-year period for sexual misconduct with students or minors.

Dr. Bolsen is a <a href="https://tobybolsen.wordpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">graduate of Southern Illinois University and Northwestern University. He has been teaching at Georgia State since 2010</a>. He has authored numerous academic papers—primarily on climate change and was awarded the “Outstanding Faculty Award” from the University in 2015.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Bolsen and the Department of Political Science at Georgia State University for comment. Both were asked if the University requires Dr. Bolsen to disclose his conviction or instructs minors and/or high school students. Neither responded prior to publication.

<a href="https://cas.gsu.edu/profile/sierra-carter/#profile-publications-tab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sierra Carter</a> is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Georgia State University, an Adjunct Faculty Member at Emory University, and a Faculty Fellow at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS at Yale University. Her work has been<a href="https://www.drsierracarter.com/media" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> featured prominently in publications</a> such as The Washington Post, NPR, and NBC News.   

Carter alleges a direct link exists between racism and the declining health of African Americans. “Racial discrimination as an acute and chronic stressor can affect development and further exacerbate chronic illnesses and stress-related disorders,” she states on<a href="https://www.drsierracarter.com/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> her personal site</a>.

<a href="https://theconversation.com/racial-discrimination-ages-black-americans-faster-according-to-a-25-year-long-study-of-families-143313" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A study conducted by Carter</a> alleges individuals who experienced racism as a child are more likely to suffer depression, advanced aging, and early death. She writes, “The experience of constant and accumulating stress due to racism throughout an individual’s lifetime can wear and tear down the body.”

Continuing, Carter states that her work has “significant implications” due to the number of black Americans who are killed by “racial injustice” and suffer from racial health disparities. Carter vows to interrupt racism with her colleagues so that “black lives matter and are able to thrive.”

Despite her assertions, <a href="https://psycnet.apa.org/manuscript/2019-42997-001.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">at no point in Carter’s study did she determine if the racist incidents her subjects described even occurred</a>. Incidents were only self-reported via a short questionnaire and were never independently verified. In addition, the study did not diagnose any patients with depression but still claimed that a correlation existed between those that experienced symptoms of depression and racism. The study only surveyed a relatively small sample size of 800 families. 

<a href="https://theconversation.com/brain-scans-of-black-women-who-experience-racism-show-trauma-like-effects-putting-them-at-higher-risk-for-future-health-problems-165511" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Another study conducted by Carter</a> claimed that racism alters the long-term brain function of black women. She concluded that racist incidents are far more detrimental to the long-term health of black women than traumatic events like childhood abuse, physical abuse, and sexual violence. 

As with the prior study, <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/2782454" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a small sample size of only 55 black women was surveyed</a>. Self-reported instances of racial discrimination against participants were also never verified by researchers.

<a href="https://apps.weber.edu/wsuimages/Communication/Faculty%20Photos/Bios/Wash%20Web%20Bio.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Ryan Wash</a> is the Communication Instructor, Director of Debate, and Director of Forensics at Weber State University.
According to his university profile, Mr. Wash is the only two-time, National Debate Tournament and Cross-Examination Debate Association Champion, both as a player and coach. Mr. Wash additionally facilitates workshops in “social justice, deliberative democracy, and debate” on behalf of the university. During one such retreat during the 2019 Fall semester, Walsh was accused of being “racist” and “anti-white” by a student in attendance, Michael Moreno.
In audio captured by Moreno, Mr. Wash accuses white people of fabricating the existence of space and facilitates a conversation where students discuss forcibly launching all white people into space.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjvmIFrX1xQ&amp;t=1687s&amp;ab_channel=MichaelMoreno" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The recording is interspersed with video commentary from Moreno</a>. The event in question took place during an “<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/university-investigating-black-debate-instructor-who-argued-space-isnt-real-created-by-whites/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">optional, pre-season retreat for students</a>”, according to the university.
According to Moreno, attendees were supposed to be debating the topic, “Should the US government work with Russia and China to reach space?” Instead of coaching students during the exercise, Mr. Wash launched into a racially tinged tirade, alleging that space is not real. He further characterizes concepts like “science and technology” as merely the projection of “white fantasies;” since neither he nor anyone else in the room has been to space, it can’t be real.
“Our argument will be that space is not real. It’s not real. Science, technology, it’s all fake. It’s a projection of white fantasies that has worked to control our interpretation of how the world works….None of us have had the privilege of going to space to verify that there’s these stars and these galaxies and these planets.” 
In the published video, Moreno can then be heard pointing out the absurdity of the argument, citing the existence of black astronauts. This is quickly dismissed, as Mr. Wash alleges that black people collaborate with whiteness, in this case, to lie about the existence of outer space.
Mr. Wash would later claim the purpose of the exercise is for the <a href="https://kutv.com/news/local/weber-state-debate-under-microscope-after-secret-recordings-go-viral" target="_blank" rel="noopener">instructor to adopt purposefully extreme positions to test students’ ability to debate and formulate arguments</a>. The remainder of the audio, however, demonstrates that Mr. Wash aligned with other students against Moreno, rather than challenging their arguments.
Around the 12 minute mark, the exercise escalated as several students began suggesting that all white people be removed from the earth. One student is heard advocating for launching all white people into space in order to create a safer planet for black people. Instead of dissecting the argument as directed, others soon chimed in to ask if doing so would only allow white people to colonize other worlds and enslave other forms of life.
Rather than point out the absurdity of their argument, Mr. Wash states that it&#8217;s more of a matter of practicality of getting white people into space.
Attempting to challenge both arguments, Moreno is rebuffed by other students, who claim he cannot ask questions to black students’ questions as a white man. Mr. Wash would further imply that Moreno’s objections were on par with that of sexual assault.
“So you being like if they’re women debaters and they’re like “this is what space means” and you’re like “no actually space means this way” – this is like a form of linguistic violence. I’m not going to go so far as to say the “R” word in there [implying “rape”], but it’s a form of linguistic assault.” 
Prior to the release of the video, Moreno reported the incident to Mr. Wash’s department supervisors. Following scrutiny by the media, the university vowed to look into the incident, but still sided with Mr. Wash,<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20191105161610/https://www.theepochtimes.com/college-debate-professor-science-is-a-projection-of-white-fantasies_3137028.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> stating that his views are protected under academic freedom</a>.
“At the heart of this complex debate are three fundamental values: American higher education’s unwavering commitment to academic freedom, an individual’s right to freedom of expression, and Weber State’s dedication to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment.”
As of November 2021, Mr. Wash is still teaching at the university. <a href="https://deadline.com/2017/08/debate-champion-ryan-wash-plan-b-annapurna-macro-daniel-barnz-movie-deal-1202140093/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">He will also be the subject of an upcoming, Brad Pitt-financed movie about his life</a>, of which Mr. Wash will serve as executive producer.

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

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/280652" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Boyles</a> is a Professor of English Writing at Arizona State University (ASU). His “areas of expertise” include but are not limited to “Rhetoric,” “Public Communication,” and “Gender Studies.”

<a href="https://azfreenews.com/2023/09/meet-the-asu-professor-behind-arizonas-drag-queen-story-hour/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AZ Free News</a> featured Boyles in an article titled “Meet the ASU Professor Behind Arizona’s Drag Queen Story Hour.” The source writes:

“Boyles established Drag Queen Story Hour-Arizona in 2019, a chapter of the national Drag Queen Story Hour organization…Boyles has been featured in several ‘The Art of Drag’ events alongside one of his drag queen storytellers…The most recent event occurred on Wednesday [September 20, 2023].  During the <a href="https://youtu.be/RN0Bou3wmxk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presentation</a>, Boyles said that the notion that drag shows are harmful to children was a ‘myth.’ He also said that drag queens have been long considered the leaders of LGBTQ+ communities.”

During “<a href="https://youtu.be/RN0Bou3wmxk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Art of Drag</a>” talk, Boyles claimed Drag Queen Story Hour-Arizona has been “targeted by acts of violence” and “neo-Nazis showing up to disrupt events.” He also presented what he believed to be the beginning of drag culture in America using the newspaper clip featured below:

On May 16, 2023, Boyles <a href="https://angelictroublemakers.substack.com/p/queer-joy-summer-planting-3-promote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published a blog</a> - “Queer Joy Summer Planting #3: Promote Radical Queer Sex Education” - in which he stated he was “trying to plant more queer joy in the world.” He also said:

“Sex education is a topic I’ve been obsessed with for a while…In 2021, I did a three-part ‘<a href="https://angelictroublemakers.substack.com/p/queering-sex-ed-part-i" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queering Sex Ed</a>’ series on the history of sex education in America and the ways in which it has traditionally erased queer people, as well as the ways in which queer people have resisted this erasure and cared for their communities by creating their own sex ed underground.”

In the “Queer Sex Ed” blog, Boyles also wrote that sex education has been traditionally racist since “black people and immigrants were typically viewed as being sexually promiscuous and aggressive and sex education was designed to keep good white kids from being ‘infected’ by them.”

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

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

&nbsp;

Inoue delivered this speech while <a href="https://cccc.ncte.org/cccc/about/chairs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">serving as the Conference Chair of the Conference on College Composition and Communication</a>, which bills itself as the <a href="https://cccc.ncte.org/cccc/about/chairs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">largest professional organization for researching and teaching writing composition</a>. It is the annual conference of the National Council of Teachers of English, which <a href="https://ncte.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boasts over 25,000 English and Language Arts teachers as members all over the country</a>.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Inoue for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

<a href="https://isearch.asu.edu/profile/597528" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lorraine Moya Salas</a> is an Instructor in the <a href="https://socialwork.asu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">School of Social Work</a> at <a href="https://campus.asu.edu/dohttps://campus.asu.edu/downtown-phoenixwntown-phoenix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arizona State University - Downtown Phoenix</a>.

During a lecture in one of her courses—titled, “Foundations of Social Work”—Dr. Lorraine can be heard describing the United States as a “white supremacist system,” that was founded for the benefit of white people at the expense of Native Americans and people of color.

In the class—recorded and provided exclusively to the Professor Watchlist team by an anonymous source—Dr. Salas urges her students to confront the “implicit biases” present in themselves and American society. Claiming that stereotypes and prejudices construct implicit bias, she warns that unconscious actions can cause serious harm.

Attempting to provide an example to bolster her claim, Dr. Salas states that implicit bias causes doctors to act as if their black patients are slaves. She proceeds to cite a study that claims doctors give less pain medication to black patients as compared to white ones.

Dr. Salas alleges this is the product of the legacy of slavery; slave owners viewed blacks as subhuman and able to withstand a large amount of pain, so therefore doctors continue to believe that blacks can withstand a large amount of pain. Doctors will therefore prescribe black patients less pain medication.

Dr. Salas additionally cites a study that claims teachers will call on boys more often than girls in their classrooms. She claims this as proof that teachers think boys answer questions correctly more often than girls.

Throughout the lecture, Dr. Salas alleges that numerous racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in society are a result of implicit bias. She urges her students, as future social workers, to confront their own implicit biases and assigns an “implicit bias test” for them to complete before the next class.

Dr. Salas additionally claims that institutional racism produces inequality and disparities, attributing it to the legacy of slavery in the Americas. Although acknowledging that all cultures practiced slavery, she claims that no slave trade was enforced along racial lines until the Europeans did so in order to specifically oppress people of color.

Citing slavery, the genocide of Native Americans and discriminatory, Jim Crow laws, Dr. Salas claims that  America was constructed as a “white supremacist culture” for the sole benefit of white people who have maintained their “white power structures” ever since.

In the accompanying slides, Dr. Salas cites Critical Race Theory to define white supremacy as a, “political or socio-economic system where white people enjoy structural advantage and rights that other racial and ethnic groups do not, both at a collective and an individual level”.

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

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

In response to the killing of Tyre Nichols - a black man who was arrested and beaten and later died in the custody of black police officers - Shabazz <a href="https://theconversation.com/black-police-officers-arent-colorblind-theyre-infected-by-the-same-anti-black-bias-as-american-society-and-police-in-general-198721" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an article</a> in The Conversation entitled, “Black police officers aren’t colorblind–they’re infected by the same anti-black bias as American society and police in general.”

In the article, Shabazz argued, “Policing in the U.S. has, from its inception, treated Black people as domestic enemies. From slave patrols…to the murder of George Floyd, and now the death of Nichols, law enforcement officers often have viewed black people as what…W.E.B. Du Bois called a ‘problem.’”

He continued, “It’s hard to investigate the minds of the officers who beat Nichols so savagely and say for sure what motivated them. But there is ample research that suggests anti-blackness is a factor in American policing. And black officers, agents of an institutionally racist system, are affected by this.”

McCall’s biography says her research “centers on how race, class and culture impact educational equity in music learning and teaching.”

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

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

“We use ‘Latinx’ as a gender-neutral reference to the people of Latin-American heritage. To not negate gendered experiences, we use Latino/Latina, or Chicano/a when acknowledging individuals or past research identifying with these gendered identities … Although both ‘Black’ and ‘Latinx’ are politicized categories, we recognize the reality of the identities are diverse, intersecting, and fluid.”

The statement was crafted after the October 7 Hamas attacks against Israel. 

Truthout said, “Hundreds of academics from universities and institutions of higher learning from … across North America have signed on to a joint letter, calling on their governments to demand Israeli ceasefire in Gaza … The signers, calling themselves ‘Educators for Palestine,’ are Palestinian academics and their allies who denounce Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.”

“We have paid careful attention to consistent invocations of children in public officials’ responses to and media portrayals of the attack in Israel on October 7, which took 1400 lives. We mourn this loss of life, and we are also struck by the ways that this concern for children does not extend to the unspeakable number of Palestinian children’s lives taken by Israeli state violence, harmed by apartheid rule, and traumatized by intergenerational experiences of settler colonial dispossession for over [75] years.”

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

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

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

The KJZZ host asked Irish to comment on her “associations” with the King novel “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Carrie-Stephen-King/dp/1984898108/ref=asc_df_1984898108/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=692875362841&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=14364719003284224040&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9061155&amp;hvtargid=pla-2281435178818&amp;psc=1&amp;mcid=d9f4354e402c38979d3d64dbfc2a5893&amp;hvocijid=14364719003284224040-1984898108-&amp;hvexpln=73" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carrie</a>”—the story of a high school outcast with telekinetic powers who eventually murders her bullying classmates by setting the town on fire. 

Irish responded to the interviewer stating:
“‘Carrie’ is amazing in the fact that [it] was written 50 years ago, but there’s so much about it that feels pretty tragically contemporary. If Carrie White had had access to a decent sex ed class, the town of Chamberlain, Maine, would still be standing…[I]t’s not hard to think about that in the midst I feel of our current kind of sociopolitical moment, where there’s such an assault on bodily autonomy and considerations of the rights of people to define their own identity and their own bodies and their relationships to them.”

According to <a href="https://nupress.northwestern.edu/9780810146969/hatch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northwestern University Press</a>:
“The prose poems in Jenny Irish’s newest collection, Hatch, trace the consciousness of an artificial womb that must confront the role she has played in the continuation of the dying of the human species. This apocalyptic vision engages with the most pressing concerns of this contemporary sociopolitical moment: reproductive rights, climate crises, and mass extinction; gender and racial bias in healthcare technology…and the possibilities and dangers of artificial intelligence.”
In the following excerpt, Irish appears to describe an abortion from the artificial womb’s perspective.

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/843137" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Owen Anderson</a> is a Professor in the School of Humanities at Arizona State University. He teaches courses focused on philosophy, morality, and religion. As a Christian in a secular institution, Dr. Anderson has been subjected to discrimination and exclusion by the college. 

On September 20, 2024, <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/christian-professors-intro-to-christianity-class-torpedoed-at-asu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix featured</a> Anderson in an article titled “Christian professor’s ‘Intro to Christianity’ class torpedoed at ASU.” Quoting Dr. Anderson’s phone interview, the Fix wrote:
“If a class does not have a general education designation, most students won’t enroll and his college will be hesitant to offer it because it won’t attract many students.” 
Dr. Anderson’s Intro to Christianity class was canceled because he said ASU “[doesn’t] want it taught from a Christian perspective.” He provided The Fix with a member from ASU <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/juliasarreal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associate Professor Julia Sarreal</a> who said, “The syllabus reflects a Christian way of teaching Christianity, which is to say the course does not adequately provide the kids of critical, reflective, disciplinary skills that students need.”

Dr. Anderson’s rebuttal to Sarreal’s and other’s concerns about the course can be read <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ONMoLSpqoWzMlY84nc4fThVk7RKCCNPHZZwnJKUPnS8/edit">here</a>.

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

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

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

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

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

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

<a href="https://poverty.umich.edu/research/faculty-experts/lisa-lapeyrouse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lisa Lapeyrouse</a> is an Associate Professor of Health Science and Administration at the University of Michigan. According to her university profile, her areas of expertise include “racial/ethnic disparities in mental health and health care access among Latino communities, including immigrant and border populations.” Lapeyrouse is also the principal investigator of “Beyond Rhetoric: Confronting and Combating Racism in Genesee County, Michigan.”
The <a href="https://www.beyondrhetoricmovement.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beyond Rhetoric Project</a> began in 2020 after Genesee County commissioners passed a <a href="https://gfhc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/GFHC-AntiRacismResolution.061520ks.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resolution</a> that formally recognized racism as a public health crisis. The project is led by Lapeyrouse and <a href="https://publichealth.msu.edu/flint-research/flint-public-health-research/kent-key-phd-mph#:~:text=Key%20is%20the%20Deputy%20Director,extension%20of%20his%20doctoral%20dissertation." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kent Key</a>, the executive deputy director of Community-Based Organization Partners and assistant professor in the Division of Public Health at Michigan State University.
Lapeyrouse stated:
“Racism has serious and harmful health repercussions for the community. But, if you’re not looking at racism as a systemic problem, then it becomes a lot easier to ignore. Even when people are willing to talk about racism, there often isn’t a clear understanding of systemic racism. There is a reluctance to acknowledge how we all participate in racist policies and practices.” 
The project also formed a community action council to establish a strategic plan to end racist policies and practices in Genesee County. <a href="https://news.umich.edu/beyond-rhetoric-offers-road-map-for-responding-to-racism-as-a-public-health-crisis/#:~:text=The%20Beyond%20Rhetoric%20project%2C%20which,as%20a%20public%20health%20crisis." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Council recommendations</a> included hiring more health care professionals of color, reforming school discipline policies, and making community services accessible to people with disabilities and people with limited English proficiency.
Lapeyrouse said she believes <a href="https://news.umflint.edu/2023/02/08/um-flint-professor-students-working-with-beyond-rhetoric-project-to-fight-racism-in-genesee-county/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anti-racism work</a> is more important now than ever, and she makes sure to instill that in her students.
“I see this move as acknowledgment by people making decisions that impact the health and wellbeing of everyone in our community that racism exists. We need policies in place that ensure equity. We can’t ignore what is right here in front of us.” 
Lapeyrouse has also been outspoken about her support for COVID vaccines. In July 2021, she tweeted:

She <a href="https://news.umflint.edu/2021/08/25/a-neighbors-guide-to-the-covid-vaccine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">led a project</a> that created “A Neighbor’s Guide to the COVID Vaccine.” According to UM-Flint News, the “informational booklet was created with the goal of providing vaccine-hesitant residents in Flint with credible health information related to the COVID-19 vaccine, so they may feel empowered to make the best decision for their health.”
Lapeyrouse used one of her master’s level courses as a service-learning course that focused on this project. She adds:
“When students know the work they’re doing is for actual people, their effort and what they are able to accomplish is so much greater than what I see in my non-service learning courses. These types of classes are a tremendous amount of work, but the payoffs for both our students and community make it well worth it.”

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

Dr. Dorinda Carter Andrews is a <a href="https://education.msu.edu/people/carter-andrews-dorinda/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chairperson and Professor</a> at Michigan State University in the College of Education. Her research interests include racial justice and educational equity. Dr. Andrews has published articles for many media outlets and journals and has given two <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3N23MXsow8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TED Talks</a> in relation to critical race theory and racial gaps in education.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1720" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.42.13-AM.png" alt="" width="482" height="186" />

In an <a href="https://www.hourdetroit.com/education-schools/a-critical-race-theory-expert-on-how-something-benign-became-toxic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article for Hour Detroit</a>, Dr. Andrews accuses conservatives of “gaslighting” by being against critical race theory. Dr. Andrews alleges conservatives “cry CRT” any time an educator teaches something from America’s history that puts them in a “bad light,” even if it’s true. She goes on to insinuate that conservatives don’t want educators teaching black history at all.

<img 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" />

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:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cIOWFdt-Os

In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOrgf3wTUbo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TED Talk given in 2014</a>, Dr. Andrews discussed racial inequity in the education system. She argues that the education system was founded in white supremacy,  making it nearly impossible for students of color to get ahead. She claims that students of color and poor students are already behind the curve before they even step foot into the classroom, and it’s unfair to expect the same levels of success for them compared to white students.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1723" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.44.57-AM.png" alt="" width="440" height="183" />

When Dr. Andrews isn’t teaching, lecturing, or writing publications, she often takes to Twitter to discuss CRT, racial equity, and anti-white rhetoric. Some examples are below:

https://twitter.com/DrDorindaCA/status/694285220351217664

https://twitter.com/DrDorindaCA/status/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.

Carla Pfeffer is an <a href="https://socialwork.msu.edu/directory/pfeffer-carla.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associate Professor of Social Work</a> and Director of the Consortium for Sexual and Gender Minority Health at Michigan State University.

Professor Pfeffer is outspoken about her pro-choice beliefs. She was quoted in an MSU Today article titled: <a href="https://msutoday.msu.edu/news/2022/Roe-V-Wade-decision-MSU-experts-discuss" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Roe v. Wade overturned: Michigan State University experts discuss.”</a> Pfeffer stated:
“Consistent governmental inaction in regard to protecting all children from poverty, gun violence, and police violence reveals the hypocrisy of legally restricting abortion. Rather than protecting children, banning abortion is about governmental power and control over marginalized bodies and crass political maneuvering to appease a conservative base.” 
She continued:
“In discussions about the overturn of Roe v. Wade, people who are lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and non-binary tend to be left out of the conversation.”
She finished her statement by claiming that members of the LGBTQ community “often face disproportionately higher rates of unintended and unwanted pregnancy” and that abortion access is “critical for ensuring physical and mental health.”

In September 2022, Pfeffer wrote an article for <a href="https://theconversation.com/transgender-men-and-nonbinary-people-are-asked-to-stop-testosterone-therapy-during-pregnancy-but-the-evidence-for-this-guidance-is-still-murky-187672" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Conversation</a> where she argued that transgender men and nonbinary people should not have to stop testosterone therapy while they are pregnant. Although many doctors told Pfeffer that there is “not enough or inconclusive research on supplemental testosterone during pregnancy,” Pfeffer argues that “testosterone therapy is often essential to the mental and physical health” of transgender people.

Pfeffer believes that “careful attention to the physical and mental health and well-being of trans and nonbinary people before, during and after pregnancy is long overdue in medicine” and that:
“Instead of approaching testosterone therapy during pregnancy as a yes/no question or a one-size-fits-all standard, investigating how various dosages of testosterone may affect all stages of pregnancy and chestfeeding could lead to better outcomes for both trans patients and their children.”

Dr. Melissa Fore is a <a href="https://jmc.msu.edu/about/directory/Fore.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Visiting Assistant Professor and Director of the James Madison College Reading and Writing Center</a> at Michigan State University. Dr. Fore teaches in the first-year writing program and is a core faculty member MSU’s Center for Gender in a Global Context.

Dr. Fore’s professor biography states:
“Her writing classroom explores how concepts of race, class, gender, and sexuality are culturally constructed through social, political, and economic values. She asks students to consider how the cycles of socialization have influenced their understanding of identity and community in order to engage in writing assignments that examine structural racism, the affordable housing crisis, and challenging gender norms.” 
In April 2019, <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=12117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a> reported that Professor Fore canceled class to allow her students to attend a conference on race and socialism. The James Madison College Office of Diversity Programming described the event as “fundamentally designed to examine systems of power and privilege in the United States, especially the impact of these ‘systems’ on communities of color.”

Dr. Fore is a facilitator for <a href="https://www.awaretogether.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AWARE (Advancing White Anti-Racist Education) Together.</a> The AWARE Together website states that the organization “offers white anti-racist education programs for groups and associations that are committed to seeing the realities of racism and taking anti-racist action.” Further, the <a href="https://www.awaretogether.org/purpose.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">‘Purpose’ page</a> states: “White people benefit from the social and economic systems that perpetuate racism. Ending the terror and injustice of white supremacy can only be accomplished if white people work to be anti-racist.”

Professor Fore’s <a href="https://www.awaretogether.org/facilitators.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">facilitator biography</a> states:
“In examining her own identity as a white woman, Melissa came to see how identity formation is linked to power and privilege, and how dismantling white supremacy is central to social, political, and economic justice.” 
Dr. Fore co-founded the Marble Elementary School Equity Team and is the Co-Chair of the <a href="https://elps.us/our-district/board-of-education/committees/reproductive-health-advisory-committee/sex-education-advisory-board-members/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">East Lansing Sex Education Advisory Board.</a> The Sex Education Advisory Board has a document titled the <a href="https://elps.us/downloads/school_board_-_committee_documents/k-5_consent_toolkit_moash_1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">‘K-5 Consent Toolkit.’</a> The document is intended for Michigan educators, parents, caregivers, and students and includes standards and curriculum for elementary school students.

The document states that by the end of second grade, students should be able to: list medically accurate names for genitals, define gender, gender identity, and gender role stereotypes, and discuss the range of ways people express gender and how gender role stereotypes may limit behavior.

The document also provides links to <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IJ2hD7bECD1gkWoDND5s5sRYG37RYPRf/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggested lesson plans.</a> One of these lesson plans, titled “Understanding Our Bodies - The Basics,” tells students that “There are some body parts that mostly just girls have and some parts that mostly just boys have.”

Another lesson plan, titled “Pink, Blue and Purple,” instructs students on gender identity, stating: “You might feel like you are a boy, you might feel like you are a girl. You might feel like you’re a boy even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are ‘girl’ parts. You might feel like you’re a girl even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are ‘boy’ parts.”

She <a href="https://news.umflint.edu/2021/08/25/a-neighbors-guide-to-the-covid-vaccine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">led a project</a> that created “A Neighbor’s Guide to the COVID Vaccine.” According to UM-Flint News, the “informational booklet was created with the goal of providing vaccine-hesitant residents in Flint with credible health information related to the COVID-19 vaccine, so they may feel empowered to make the best decision for their health.”

Lapeyrouse used one of her master’s level courses as a service-learning course that focused on this project. She adds:
“When students know the work they’re doing is for actual people, their effort and what they are able to accomplish is so much greater than what I see in my non-service learning courses. These types of classes are a tremendous amount of work, but the payoffs for both our students and community make it well worth it.”

She said that the 1st Amendment allowed for her and others to publicly shame these students and that all of their names should be revealed.

<a href="https://www.usabart.nl/portfolio/#home.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bart Knijnenburg</a> is an Associate Professor in the School of Computing at Clemson University. He teaches “Advanced Measurement &amp; Evaluation of HCC Systems” and “Adaptive Decision Support Systems.”

According to his Twitter profile, Knijnenburg identifies with the radical ideologies of BLM, LGBTQ+ and socialism.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-3755" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Screenshot-2024-07-30-at-9.45.49 AM.png" alt="" width="600" height="436" />

In 2017, Knijnenburg made headlines after he was accused of calling former president Donald Trump’s supporters “racist scum.” <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/clemson-prof-all-republicans-racist-scum/9626" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a> published an article with quotes from Knijnenburg, “‘All trump[sic] supporters, nay, all Republicans, are racist scum’ … ‘All republicans?[sic] Yes,’ he confirmed in the comments section. ‘Your complacency made this happen. Pick a side: denounce your affiliation, or admit you’re a racist.’”

The Reform quoted Knijnenburg’s response to another commenter:

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-3756 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/pwl-11-1024x791.png" alt="" width="640" height="494" />

The Reform said the posts were sourced from a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/usabart/posts/10101577493806609" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook post</a> that’s no longer accessible.

The university said it did not support the opinions in the post but did not want to infringe on anyone’s First Amendment rights.” 

Knijnenburg came under fire again in 2020 after another <a href="https://www.facebook.com/usabart/posts/10102683459896699" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook</a> rant where he called Trump’s supporters “xenophobic and racist.” The following screenshot is sourced from Campus Reform.

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/quincy-amoah.html">Quincy Amoah</a> is an Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology/Africana Studies at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. 
According to his university profile, Amoah “is obsessed with cattle, Nilotic [i.e. pertaining to the Nile River] ‘apparently irrational beliefs,’ and the meaning of ‘good’ when one and their community are dedicated to brigandage.”
Amoah was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”
Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 
Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America&#8217;s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”
The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”
The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 
They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

In March 2021, McNulty co-authored an <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2021/03/12/colleges-must-acknowledge-challenges-facing-female-academics-who-juggle-work-and#.YHTMhYqX9L4.link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> about the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on equity. The authors put forth the following goal to resolve what they deem to be the lessening of diversity and equity caused by COVID-19:
“For starters, every institution must acknowledge the problem and openly address what can appear invisible and ignored to those of us living in this reality. The academy risks emerging from this pandemic with less diversity and gender equity than before unless we change course. The first step is initiating a conversation and listening. Once people have a space to talk openly about their challenges, a lot of problem solving and solutions naturally emerge.”\

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/firuzeh-shokooh-valle.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Firuzeh Shokooh Valle</a> is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. According to her university profile, Valle “is a feminist sociologist and journalist from Puerto Rico. Her research examines how global development policy and discourse frames the relationships between gender, technology, and science, and the ways in which feminist digital activists mobilize around these issues in Latin America and other regions of the global South. Her work is located within a southern political geography that is in contention with the legacy, and persistence, of colonialism.”

Valle was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”

Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”

<a href="https://gephardtinstitute.wustl.edu/people/sarah-garwood/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Sarah Garwood</a> is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine. According to her university profile, Dr. Garwood “provides care for complex adolescent patients.” She also designed and serves as co-director of the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

The Transgender Center <a href="https://www.stlouischildrens.org/conditions-treatments/transgender-center#:~:text=The%20Washington%20University%20Transgender%20Center,that%20addresses%20your%20specific%20needs." target="_blank" rel="noopener">provides a range of services</a> including puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and menstrual suppression. The center’s website states: “Gender affirming care isn’t meant to influence people in any particular direction. We don’t ‘treat’ anyone’s identity or tell anyone what they should or shouldn’t do.”

The <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11754435/Emails-doctors-St-Louis-transgender-clinic-telling-teachers-affirm-fifth-graders.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington University Transgender Center is being investigated</a> by the Missouri Attorney General’s Office and the office of Senator Josh Hawley after a former employee <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/i-thought-i-was-saving-trans-kids" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authored an article “blowing the whistle”</a> on the “morally and medically appalling” actions happening at the center.

The whistleblower, who previously worked at the center for four years, <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/i-thought-i-was-saving-trans-kids" target="_blank" rel="noopener">detailed the center’s aggressive and early intervention</a> and its “lack of regard for the rights of parents.”

<a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/sites/default/files/2023-02/2023-02-09-Senator-Hawley-Letter-to-WashU.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a letter</a> to the university chancellor, hospital president, and the center’s co-directors, Senator Josh Hawley writes:
“That report presented substantial evidence that, like so many other pediatric gender clinics across the United States, this Missouri-based clinic appears to have been operating without transparency, oversight, and accountability - and causing devastating harm to children in the process.” 
Dr. Garwood has also been in the news after emails were discovered by <a href="https://defendinged.org/incidents/emails-reveal-school-district-sought-out-advice-from-st-louis-childrens-hospital-transgender-center-regarding-multiple-fifth-graders-transitioning-at-the-same-time/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Parents Defending Education (PDE)</a> that show her encouraging the Parkway School District not to disclose students’ chest-binding practices to parents. When school officials asked for <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/childrens-hospital-advised-school-district-not-require-disclosure-students-chest-binding-parents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advice on how to handle chest-binding</a>, a staff member from the Transgender Center responded by quoting Dr. Garwood, saying:
“I would actually decline any requirements for disclosure by students or from school to parents.” 
Similarly, when asked for advice on how to handle fifth graders who are suffering from gender dysphoria, Dr. Garwood responded:
“The best we can do is affirm, validate and allow for the exploration, if in a few weeks or months, a student wants to go by their legal name and pronouns that match their sex assigned at birth, no harm was really done in affirming them before.” 
As of publication, Dr. Garwood is still employed by the university.

<a href="https://artsci.wustl.edu/faculty-staff/bret-gustafson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bret Gustafson</a> is a Professor of Sociocultural Anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis. Gustafson describes himself as a “political anthropologist with an interest in climate politics, fossil fuels, and the energy transition.”

In November 2023, Gustafson came under fire for <a href="https://www.kmov.com/2023/11/28/washington-university-professor-under-fire-anti-israel-bias-after-social-media-post/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">antisemitic social media comments</a>. After protesters in Los Angeles threw smoke devices and vandalized the home of the president of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Gustafson <a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1729509403676598707" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allegedly posted</a> the following:

<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3343" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Screen-Shot-2023-11-28-at-12.56.16-PM-1024x1015.png" alt="" width="640" height="634" />
The <a href="https://twitter.com/bretgustafson?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">user’s account</a> has since been made private, but his Twitter biography includes a link to his faculty page at Washington University in St. Louis. The university provided the following statement to First Alert 4:
“Bret Gustafson is currently employed by Washington University. The opinions he has expressed as an individual do not represent the university’s position. We do not condone intimidation and we will not tolerate discrimination, harassment or threatening behavior.” 
In 2021, after a student destroyed a flag display that was part of a 9/11: Never Forget Project, Gustafson <a href="https://yaf.org/news/nearly-50-washu-professors-sign-statement-defending-9-11-vandal-american-flag-is-symbol-of-american-imperialism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed a statement</a> in support of the vandal, calling the crime a “protest.” <a href="https://www.studlife.com/forum/2021/09/14/community-statement-against-islamophobia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The letter</a> further said the American flag is “the symbol of American imperialism and violence in the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia and beyond.”

Gustafson is also a proponent of fossil fuel divestment. In March 2023, he participated in a <a href="https://www.studlife.com/uncategorized/2023/03/01/green-action-rally-demands-university-divestment-from-fossil-fuels" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Green Action rally</a> that called on the university to divest from fossil fuels and “recognize the impacts of environmental racism.” He said the university “directly contributes to violence against all of us” because “everybody breathes the toxic impacts of burning coal to produce electricity.” He stated:
“It’s really quite embarrassing to be a faculty member at WashU. It should be [embarrassing] for students and alumni to be associated with a University that’s really far behind a lot of things.” 
He added:
“When Chancellor Martin says they can’t do anything because they’re just trying to protect the money for the University, there are plenty of other places you can invest your money in this daily sick capitalist system that we live in.”

<a href="https://jimes.wustl.edu/people/david-h-warren" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David H. Warren</a> is a Lecturer of Middle East Studies and Arabic at Washington University in St. Louis. Aside from <a href="https://www.routledge.com/Rivals-in-the-Gulf-Yusuf-al-Qaradawi-Abdullah-Bin-Bayyah-and-the-Qatar-UAE/Warren/p/book/9780367280628" target="_blank" rel="noopener">publishing a book</a> in 2021 and his 2022 <a href="https://www.uscirf.gov/sites/default/files/2022-12/2022%20Religious%20Freedom%20Tolerance%20Report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">paper</a> that “examine[d] the intersection of religious tolerance promotion and authoritarianism in the Gulf,” Warren has no other notable scholarly contributions.

In the paper, he uses the term “religious tolerance promotion” or RTP to indicate how friendly authoritarian regimes are toward those who openly practice their beliefs in society. Understandably, Warren did not include Palestine or Gaza in the piece. This could be due to the Gazan government <a href="https://besacenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/1449-A-Short-History-of-Palestinian-Rejectionism-Cohen-final.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rejecting statehood multiple times</a> and the fact that its terrorist branch, Hamas, does not tolerate any religion outside of its <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Islamic Resistance Movement</a>.  

<a href="https://x.com/davidhwarren/with_replies?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Warren’s Twitter account</a> confirms his antisemitic views. On August 29, 2024, he posted about pro-Palestinian protests that occurred on Washington University’s campus. 

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3840" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-03-at-5.54.48 PM.png" alt="" width="544" height="428" />

The tweet links to a <a href="https://www.studlife.com/forum/2024/08/28/opinion-submission-a-letter-from-suspended-faculty-against-genocide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">university newspaper</a> article titled “Opinion Submission: A letter from suspended faculty against genocide.” Since Warren is only a non-tenured lecturer, his signature does not appear on the letter. The Professor Watchlist couldn’t confirm if Warren was off work in April when his superior colleagues <a href="https://www.studlife.com/news/2024/04/30/the-aftermath-of-april-27-protesters-denounce-police-response-administration-condemns-encampment-and-students-and-faculty-suspended" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joined one</a> (of many) anti-Jewish protests that resulted in the arrest of four faculty members. 

The statement says, in part:
“As faculty members who were suspended and banned from campus this spring for standing with students against the genocide of Gaza, we know that our school remains gripped by a moral crisis stemming from its complicity in the occupation of Palestine. In April [2024], we experienced firsthand how the University prioritizes its ties to weapons contractors like Boeing over its commitment to the safety and well-being of its community members.”

<a href="https://pediatrics.georgetown.edu/reitman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. David Reitman</a> is a doctor and Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at <a href="https://www.georgetown.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Georgetown University</a>. In a leaked lecture, Dr. Reitman advocates for administering puberty-blocking drugs to transition gender-dysphoric minors.
Slides from the lecture delivered to incoming medical students by Dr. Reitman—<a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/georgetown-catholic-medical-school-hormone-therapy-minors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which were obtained by The Spectator</a>—warn that gender dysphoria is a life-threatening condition that often results in suicide. He maintains the only way to treat the depression of transgender minors is through surgery or hormone replacement to “fix” their bodies.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-2469 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.56.54-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.56.54-PM.png 534w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.56.54-PM-300x179.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" />
&nbsp;
Further, Dr. Reitman claims that even infants can understand their true gender identity. He instructs students to determine if their patients may be transgender by asking the child if he/she wants to grow their hair a certain length or play dress-up. 
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-2465 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.52.29-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.52.29-PM.png 534w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.52.29-PM-300x179.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" />
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-2466 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.01-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.01-PM.png 534w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.01-PM-300x179.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" />
&nbsp;
Dr. Reitman notes that it&#8217;s optimal to identify gender dysphoria before puberty to begin cross-sex hormone treatment. He states this will prevent “unwanted secondary sex characteristics” and the minor will not have to undergo gender-transition surgeries later in life. 
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-2467 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.48-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.48-PM.png 534w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.48-PM-300x179.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" />
&nbsp;
Dr. Reitman then claims the effects of the drugs are fully reversible and puberty can be resumed at any time. While acknowledging these treatments have serious side effects such as loss of bone density, liver damage, and infertility, he still states there is a net benefit.  
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-2468 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.55.04-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.55.04-PM.png 534w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.55.04-PM-300x179.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" />
&nbsp;
A common drug used in gender transitions is Lupron, which was <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designed to castrate sex offenders</a>. Even if the dosage is <a href="https://www.commonsense.news/p/top-trans-doctors-blow-the-whistle?s=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">halted mid-transition, children are still unable to undergo puberty.</a> 
The Spectator further reports that <a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/georgetown-catholic-medical-school-hormone-therapy-minors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Reitman then displayed explicit images of “top” and “bottom” surgeries.</a> This refers to either a double mastectomy (top surgery) or the surgical removal/altering of genitalia (bottom surgery) as part of the transition process.

Georgetown University

<a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/00336000014Re4cAAC/christine-fair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christine Fair</a> is an Associate Professor in the Security Studies Program at Georgetown University. 

Fair was the subject of a <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7dAQe1s5ZVka3hXLURodG1WQkU/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">complaint</a> filed by a colleague for “harassment, abuse, hate, and cyberbullying.”  After <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4069936/Georgetown-prof-C-Christine-Fair-went-meltdown-Muslim-ex-colleague-Asra-Q-Nomani-admitted-voting-Donald-Trump.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Asra Nomani</a>, who is Muslim, said she voted for Trump because of her problems with Obamacare, Fair went on a month-long rant against Nomani, including calling her various insulting names in her native Urdu, claiming Nomani had “pimped” herself out, as well as saying "F*** you."

Fair is also known for her vulgar and carnal tweets directed at conservatives. During the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the fall of 2018, Fair <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=11369" target="_blank" rel="noopener">launched</a> into a racially tinged tirade on her <a href="https://twitter.com/CChristineFair?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> account, accusing Republicans of enabling a rapist and calling for their castration in a series of tweets, 
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">“Look at thus(sic) chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist’s arrogant entitlement."</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">”all of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps."</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">“Bonus: we castrate their corpse and feed them to swine? Yes.”</li>
</ul>
ANTI-LAW ENFORCEMENT

In 2018, Fair was <a href="https://thehoya.com/news/georgetown-professor-accused-calling-german-officer-nazi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in The Hoya article </a>“Georgetown Professor Accused of Calling German Officer a ‘Nazi.’” 

The publication explained, “The alleged confrontation occurred after an airport security agent pulled Fair aside and summoned a German police officer, as required by law after an X-ray machine at a security checkpoint indicated her luggage might contain explosives.”

It turns out the substances found in Fair’s bags — cosmetics and roll-on deodorant — had exceeded the amount permitted by law enforcement. The Hoya said, “After the police suggested Fair store a roll-on deodorant in her carry-on bag, the police report states Fair reacted aggressively and called the police ‘f–king bastards’ and ‘f–king Nazi police.’”

The Hoya recorded Fair’s response:
“‘The whole thing was a straight-up shakedown. At the end of the day, this officer just did not want a customer service complaint. If I were a white guy, this wouldn’t be happening to me. For example, the cop called me a hippie. Why am I of all people derided as a hippie?’”
Despite corroborating witness statements cited in the police report — as well as accusations that Fair said another passenger had a “Hitler Youth haircut” — Fair denied all allegations. 

After being detained by German police, the report said Fair was fined $260 in legal fees.

<a href="https://www.law.georgetown.edu/faculty/peller-gary.cfm">Gary Peller</a> is a Professor of Law at Georgetown University. After the death of Antonin Scalia, Peller drafted an email in opposition to mourning his death, accusing him of being a bully.

Professor <a href="https://www.law.georgetown.edu/faculty/preston-mitchum/">Preston Mitchum</a> is a law professor at Georgetown University. Though he is widely known for his extremely controversial and extreme opinions, constantly referring to how much he hates cops. Though he may have taken it a step too far with of of his latest, stating, “Yes, ALL white people are racist. Yes, ALL men are sexist. Yes, ALL cis people are transphobic. We have to unpack that. That's the work!”

<a href="https://lannan.georgetown.edu/past-guests/michael-eric-dyson/">Michael Eric Dyson</a> is a Professor of Sociology at Georgetown University.

Dyson has<a href="https://www.wglt.org/post/dyson-isu-white-supremacy-sees-resurgence-under-trump-0#stream/0"> alleged</a> that there has been a “resurgence” of white supremacy under a conservative presidency. In an interview with<a href="https://video.foxnews.com/v/5308799067001#sp=show-clips"> Tucker Carlson</a>, he has also asked for whites to pay reparations to black communities to offset America’s legacy of racism. During a<a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?445812-1/aurea-foundation-hosts-munk-debate-political-correctness"> debate</a> on political correctness in 2018 with Professor Jordan Peterson, Dyson repeatedly referred to Peterson as just a “mean, mad, old, white, man.” 

Just prior to Independence Day 2019, Dyson appeared on<a href="https://www.mediaite.com/politics/michael-eric-dyson-on-betsy-ross-flag-symbolism-why-dont-we-wear-a-swastika-for-july-fourth/"> MSNBC </a>and compared the iconic Betsy Ross Flag to a Nazi Swastika,

“Well, it hails from the Revolutionary period, of course, of this nation’s founding, which was deeply embroiled in, you know, enslavement, of the owners of slaves…..Right-wing white supremacists have used it as a rallying cry for their own cause.” 

Dyson continued,

“Words matter, symbols matter too. Why don’t we wear a swastika for July Fourth? Because I don’t know, it makes a difference.”

Dyson is also associated with the notorious anti-Semite and Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan. In 2010, Dyson<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ULAThBZKiM"> participated</a> in a roundtable discussion hosted by PBS with Farrakhan and<a href="http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/Minister_Louis_Farrakhan_9/article_7248.shtml"> interviewed</a> him the same year about the economic condition of black communities.

<a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/00336000014U15mAAC/peter-strzok-ii">Peter Strzok</a> is an adjunct professor at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/peter-strzok-hired-to-teach-counterintelligence-at-georgetown-university/">Strzok was recently hired</a> by the Walsh School of Foreign Service and teaches <a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/course-catalog/a1o1Q00000271IyQAI/ipol32301?id=00336000014U15mAAC">Counterintelligence and National Security.</a>

Strzok—a former counterintelligence agent with the FBI—was known for his lead role in the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election and former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/declassified-trump-russia-launch-document-authored-by-strzok-and-investigated-by-durham">Strzok launched a counterintelligence operation</a> and obtained multiple warrants to spy on individuals connected to the Trump campaign to determine if the candidate was illegally cultivating ties with Russia. Code-named Operation Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI’s investigation heavily relied on information provided by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele.

Steele had compiled a series of lurid allegations against then-candidate Trump, alleging liabilities to the Kremlin would allow him to be blackmailed by Russia. Referred to as the Steele Dossier, it was <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/clinton-campaign-dnc-paid-for-research-that-led-to-russia-dossier/2017/10/24/226fabf0-b8e4-11e7-a908-a3470754bbb9_story.html?tid=ss_tw&amp;utm_term=.be21b9cb9402">initially paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign</a> before being <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/doj-inspector-general-slams-bruce-ohr-for-consequential-errors-in-judgment">ferried by Bruce Ohr</a> of the Justice Department to the FBI. The Obama Administration was <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/dni-releases-cia-documents-on-hillary-clintons-plan-to-tie-trump-campaign-to-russia-to-distract-from-email-scandal/">briefed by CIA director John Brennan</a> about Clinton's attempt to use the dossier as an effort to tie the Trump campaign to Russia. The FBI used Steele as an informant to obtain FISA warrants against campaign surrogates George Papadopoulos and Carter Page.

It was later revealed that Steele’s source for the dossier was a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-previously-investigated-steele-dossier-source-as-russian-agent">suspected Russian spy</a> and his <a href="https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2020/07/24/meet_steele_dossiers_primary_subsource_fabulist_russian_at_us_think_tank_whose_boozy_past_the_fbi_ignored_124601.html">allegations were unfounded</a>. Despite Steele being removed by the FBI for his misconduct, this information <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/what-to-expect-from-inspector-general-michael-horowitzs-report-on-alleged-fisa-abuses">was withheld from a FISA court when seeking warrants</a> to surveil Papadopoulos and Page. The FBI claimed that Steele was not the source contained in the application while continuing to rely on his allegations.

<a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/15/newly-declassified-papadopoulos-transcript-exposes-crossfire-hurricane-corruption/">Papadopoulos</a> was ultimately never charged with colluding with Russia and the warrants issued for Page have been <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/carter-page-fisa-warrant-lacked-probable-cause-declassified-doj-order-finds">found to lack probable cause for surveillance</a>. A top lawyer working for Strzok has <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/11/22/washington-post-quietly-changes-story-on-altered-russia-probe-document/">pleaded guilty to falsifying information</a> in order to obtain a warrant for Page.

Peter Strzok was also instrumental in setting a perjury trap for General Flynn. Initially a target of Crossfire Hurricane, the Bureau soon closed the investigation over a lack of evidence. Strzok then <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/30/breaking-fbi-closed-flynn-case-dubbed-crossfire-razor-in-early-2017-until-strzok-ordered-it-to-stay-open/">intervened and immediately reopened</a> the case in early 2017. Hoping to catch <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/29/explosive-new-flynn-documents-show-fbi-goal-was-to-get-him-fired/">Flynn in a lie so that he would be fired</a>, Strzok interviewed Flynn over his recent conversation with the Russian Ambassador regarding sanctions. Despite Strzok or then <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/comey-told-obama-flynn-conversations-154702223.html">FBI director James Comey</a> believing that Fynn had not lied or mischaracterized the interaction, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/05/04/your-guide-to-the-obama-administrations-hit-on-michael-flynn/">the FBI charged Flynn with lying under oath</a>. The resultant trial nearly <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/now-imperiled-case-against-flynn-cost-him-millions-of-dollars-his-house-his-job">bankrupted Flynn’s family</a> and is still ongoing.

Throughout 2016 and 2017, Strzok was texting with fellow agent Lisa Page (of whom he was having an affair with at the time) <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/peter-strzok-trump-smell-hillbillies-1020892">his disdain for Trump supporters</a> and his desire to remove Donald Trump for office, referring to a supposed “<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/devin-nunes-peter-strzoks-insurance-policy-was-about-carter-page-fisa-warrant">insurance policy</a>” should he win the election. Strzok, then working with Robert Mueller, coordinated with Lisa Page t<a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/commentary/newly-disclosed-strzok-page-texts-shed-new-light-media-leak-strategy">o selectively leak information</a> about investigations to potentially obtain further warrants.

Strzok was soon <a href="https://apnews.com/article/fc94343ce2ace8e855cf7ef7efe9c8bf">removed from Mueller's team</a> once his communications were discovered, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2018/12/13/doj-destroyed-missing-strzok-page-text-messages-before-ig-reviewed-them/">but wiped his phone</a> before it could be reviewed for any further potentially incriminating texts. <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/fbi-agent-peter-strzok-who-sent-anti-trump-tweets-fired-n900161">He was later fired</a> by the FBI and <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/gregg-jarrett-ig-report-shows-fbi-misconduct-and-abuses-in-anti-trump-probe-of-russia-collusion-hoax">excoriated by an Inspector General’s report</a> over his partisan activities on a government-issued phone.

Throughout his career, Strzok has vindictively wielded the power of the state for his own purposes. To this day, he remains unrepentant and has <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/compromised-peter-strzok-on-investigating-the-trump-campaign/">repeatedly defended his actions</a>, even <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Untitled-Houghton-Mifflin-Harcourt/dp/0358237068">authoring a book</a> accusing the president of being compromised by Vladimir Putin.

Strzok’s texts to Lisa Page demonstrate a clear bias against conservatives, extending far beyond mere words. Strzok has repeatedly and flagrantly discriminated against conservatives.

Acting with impunity, Strzok and his team lied, falsified evidence, spied on, and attempted to bankrupt those serving on a presidential campaign that he opposed. As a professor, Strzok will hold the pivotal role of mentoring future leaders of the intelligence and law enforcement community— the same community whose principles he flagrantly violated. He will also hold the grades of his conservative students in a vice, subject to his personal prejudice. As someone that has demonstrated seemingly no prior hesitation in targeting conservatives, there is no reason to believe that Strzok will not place future students in his crosshairs.

Mr. Ruebner previously slandered Israel as an apartheid state in his 2013 book titled <a href="https://joshruebner.com/books/shattered-hopes/order-the-book/">Shattered Hopes: Obama’s Failure to Broker an Israeli-Palestinian Peace</a>. In a promotional interview with the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVcp4FkHcV-YGI7F-MsY-YQ">Portland Media Center</a>, Mr. Ruebner further <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU1fqAQBozo&amp;ab_channel=PortlandMediaCenter">accuses the United States of complicity in Israel's human rights violations</a>.

Mr. Ruebner alleges that terrorist attacks committed against America are directly linked to ties with Israel. In a December 2002 article titled <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/12/10/striking-with-impunity/">Striking with Impunity</a>, he states that America is guilty of war crimes for providing military aid to Israel—claiming Israel uses this equipment to commit human rights abuses. Mr. Ruebner asks the readers in the same article, how many more “towers need to fall?”—in reference to the horrific September 11th terrorist attacks—before America stops supporting Israel.

<a href="https://www.ampalestine.org/about-amp/staff">As a Managing Director for AMP</a>, Mr. Ruebner oversees staff management, organizational planning, and development. <a href="https://www.ampalestine.org/about-amp/statement-of-principles">According to their website, AMP seeks</a> to “highlight Israel’s flagrant and continual violations of international law and human rights abuses.” According to the watchdog source <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/4891/investigation-exposes-amp-leaders-ties-to-former">The Investigative Project on Terrorism</a>, AMP can be linked to multiple terrorist organizations. Additionally, various speakers featured at AMP conferences have repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel.

<a href="https://pediatrics.georgetown.edu/reitman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. David Reitman</a> is a doctor and Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at <a href="https://www.georgetown.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Georgetown University</a>. In a leaked lecture, Dr. Reitman advocates for administering puberty-blocking drugs to transition gender-dysphoric minors.

Slides from the lecture delivered to incoming medical students by Dr. Reitman—<a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/georgetown-catholic-medical-school-hormone-therapy-minors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which were obtained by The Spectator</a>—warn that gender dysphoria is a life-threatening condition that often results in suicide. He maintains the only way to treat the depression of transgender minors is through surgery or hormone replacement to “fix” their bodies.

<img class="size-full wp-image-2469 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.56.54-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

&nbsp;

Further, Dr. Reitman claims that even infants can understand their true gender identity. He instructs students to determine if their patients may be transgender by asking the child if he/she wants to grow their hair a certain length or play dress-up. 

<img class="size-full wp-image-2465 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.52.29-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

<img class="size-full wp-image-2466 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.01-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

&nbsp;

Dr. Reitman notes that it's optimal to identify gender dysphoria before puberty to begin cross-sex hormone treatment. He states this will prevent “unwanted secondary sex characteristics” and the minor will not have to undergo gender-transition surgeries later in life. 

<img class="size-full wp-image-2467 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.48-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

&nbsp;

Dr. Reitman then claims the effects of the drugs are fully reversible and puberty can be resumed at any time. While acknowledging these treatments have serious side effects such as loss of bone density, liver damage, and infertility, he still states there is a net benefit.  

<img class="size-full wp-image-2468 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.55.04-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" />

&nbsp;

A common drug used in gender transitions is Lupron, which was <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designed to castrate sex offenders</a>. Even if the dosage is <a href="https://www.commonsense.news/p/top-trans-doctors-blow-the-whistle?s=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">halted mid-transition, children are still unable to undergo puberty.</a> 

The Spectator further reports that <a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/georgetown-catholic-medical-school-hormone-therapy-minors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Reitman then displayed explicit images of “top” and “bottom” surgeries.</a> This refers to either a double mastectomy (top surgery) or the surgical removal/altering of genitalia (bottom surgery) as part of the transition process.

<a href="https://www.law.georgetown.edu/faculty/dorothy-brown/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dorothy A. Brown</a> is a Professor at Georgetown University. <a href="https://www.law.georgetown.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Brown_CV_June_2022.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to her CV</a>, Brown teaches courses on federal income tax, critical race theory, corporate tax

As the author of “<a href="https://www.harvard.com/book/whiteness_of_wealth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Whiteness of Wealth</a>,” Brown alleges the American tax code was created to prevent black Americans from achieving financial success. As a result, Brown claims that wealth creation was sequestered for white families. 

In 2021, Brown was <a href="https://www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Professor%20Dorothy%20Brown%20Testimony.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">invited by the Senate Finance Committee</a> to deliver testimony regarding her research. She stated that America still suffers from systemic racism and the tax law only perpetuates racial inequity. She further alleged that Americans bring their racial identities into their tax codes, as the tax law was written alongside Jim Crow laws to benefit whites. 

“What my research has revealed is that because systemic racism is very real, all American taxpayers bring our racial identities onto our tax returns.”

During an interview with the Rockafeller Foundation, Brown further claimed that only “white wealth” can be built in America.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bQgVPl9-xg&amp;ab_channel=PoliticsandProse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a separate interview</a> with Elie Mystal—who once <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/nation-correspondent-elie-mystal-us-constitution-actually-trash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called the U.S. Constitution “trash”</a>—Brown again affirmed that building wealth is inherently connected to race. Citing college drop-out rates and unemployment amongst blacks, she claimed these and other disparities are proof the tax code exists to benefit white people. 

To alleviate racial inequity, Dr. Brown suggests the following: 

- Levy a “reparations” tax to repay black Americans for past and present discrimination. 

- Mandate companies' self-audit each year in order to ensure they are hiring a proportionate number of employees from each race. 

- Deny white Americans mortgage exemptions if they do not live in a neighborhood where at least 10% of their neighbors are black. 

During the Q&amp;A section of the interview, Brown laments that she cannot adopt an explicitly “pro-black” tax policy, as the Supreme Court would not uphold it. Rather, she admits that her initial proposals will have to target income levels rather than cater to specific races.
