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

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

Dr. Taylor likewise alleges the United States is a brutally racist and oppressive society. In an article for the Marxist publication, Jacobin,<a href="https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/05/reparations-slavery-racism-united-states-foundation" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> she depicts racism as foundational to the United States</a>.

A frequent critic of policing, which she views as systemic racism embedded in the United States, Dr. Taylor lauds the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as a “liberation struggle.” With communist, vice-presidential candidate, and Black Panther Party member, <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angeladavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angela Davis</a>, writing the forward, Dr. Taylor’s book—<a href="https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1646-from-blacklivesmatter-to-black-liberation-expanded-second-edition">From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation</a>—she praises the movement for having “awakened a new generation of activists” that will fight for “black liberation.”
BLM was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder. After a jury acquitted Zimmerman in 2013, <a href="https://patrissecullors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrice Cullors</a> joined with <a href="https://aliciagarza.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alicia Garza</a> and <a href="https://www.opaltometi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Opal Tometi</a> to found an organization, <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as stated on its website</a>.
“&#8230;.whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes.” 
BLM came to further prominence following the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/gunshots-looting-after-grand-jury-in-ferguson-case-does-not-indict-officer-in-michael-brown-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">riots in Ferguson, Missouri</a> in reaction to the acquittal of police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of robbery suspect, Michael Brown.

Princeton University

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

<a href="http://www.calvin.edu/academic/social_work/faculty/kuilema/">Dr. Joe Kuilema</a>, an instructor at Calvin University, condemned all white people for being white supremacists after swastikas were found on campus. “As a white male, I benefit tremendously from institutions and systems that have been built by and for people like me. This is how the social sciences define racism, not as merely the product of prejudice, explicit or implicit bias, but a system of power based on the invention of the ‘white race’ by people in power.” According to Kuilema, any institution, including Congress and the college itself, that was founded by white people is inherently an example of white privilege.

Much of her scholarship focuses on the Koran and women&#8217;s rights under Islamic law. Dr. Delong-Bas is further known for her strident defenses of Islam as a religion of peace, even going so far as denying al-Qaeda&#8217;s role in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
A significant aspect of her research and her publications concentrate on Wahhabism, a conservative sect of Islam whose adherents are known for their strict interpretation of Koranic Law. In addition to claiming <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLWWopyMzxQ&amp;ab_channel=PulitzerCenter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">that Islam has no connection to religious violence and extremism</a>, she declares <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/10775/natana-delong-bas-american-professor-wahhabi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wahhabism—in its true form—has no connection to violent, Islamist extremism</a> when it occurs.
<a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/testimony/47.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wahhabism</a> emerged as a puritanical sect of Islam in the 18th century. Adherents—who are referred to as “Salafists”—seek to purify any sect or branch of Islam that does not adopt the 7-century practices and teaching of the Prophet Mohammed, including the practice of waging jihad.
Many jihadist movements adhere to and base their ideology on Wahhabism. In addition to serving as the official state religion of Saudi Arabia, Osama Bin Laden and the 9/11 hijackers were adherents to this extremist sect. Al-Qaeda, as well as its sister organizations like <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/21335" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas and ISIS, all base their ideology and practices on Wahhabism</a>.
Due to her strident defenses of Islam and Wahhabism, Dr. Delong-Bas is a frequent visitor and guest of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where she adorns a full burka out of “respect” for Saudi culture.
In an interview with a Saudi newspaper, she denied that any extremist movements in the Middle East had any connection to Islam, but instead argued <a href="https://www.memri.org/reports/american-professor-natana-delong-bas-%E2%80%98i-do-not-find-any-evidence-would-make-me-agree-osama" target="_blank" rel="noopener">that support of Israel is the root cause of terrorism against the West</a>,
“The political conditions in the Islamic world, like the Palestinian issue, which has lasted 60 years, [the issue of] Iraq, and the American government&#8217;s tying [the hands of] the U.N. [and preventing it] from adopting any resolution against Israel, have definitely added to the Muslim youth&#8217;s state of frustration, which then pushes them to &#8211; as they understand it &#8211; help their brothers do away with the aggression against them, in the various Islamic countries”
When the interviewer asked directly whether or not Osama Bin Laden was involved in the terrorist attacks on 9/11, she explicitly denied his involvement, stating that there was “no proof” that he participated in the attack.

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

Dr. <a href="https://www.northeastern.edu/graduate/bio/denis-sullivan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Denis Sullivan</a> is a Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at <a href="https://www.northeastern.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northeastern University</a> in Boston, Massachusetts.

Dr. Sullivan is known for including anti-Israel elements into his curriculum, and for his defense of the terrorist organization Hamas.
Founded as the offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Gaza Strip, Hamas is an Islamist terrorist organization. The organization’s <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charter explicitly calls for the destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews</a>.

The group has ruled the Gaza strip since 2005 and explicitly targets Israeli civilians while using its own <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/183750" target="_blank" rel="noopener">citizens as human shields during military operations</a>. <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/05/prelude-to-war-palestinian-terrorists-fire-hundreds-of-rockets-at-israel-from-and-to-civilian-areas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas regularly fires rockets</a> and <a href="https://palwatch.org/page/18217" target="_blank" rel="noopener">directs suicide bombers into crowded areas</a>. The organization is <a href="https://www.fdd.org/in_the_news/2021/05/26/faq-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responsible for the death of thousands of Israelis and at least 25 Americans</a>.
In a lecture dated to 2009, Denis Sullivan can be heard <a href="https://vimeo.com/127604352" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trivializing Hamas atrocities during a lecture about foreign relations with Israel</a>. In the clip, captured by the organization <a href="https://canarymission.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canary Mission</a>, Dr. Sullivan begrudgingly admits that Hamas is a terrorist organization, but proceeds to praise them for having “great healthcare and kindergartens.&#8221;

Further in the same lecture, while discussing peace negotiations, Dr. Sullivan claims that it’s irrelevant that Hamas will not recognize the right of Israel to exist.

&nbsp;
According to reports from the group <a href="https://www.peaceandtolerance.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Americans for Peace and Tolerance (APT)</a>, Dr. Sullivan <a href="https://www.peaceandtolerance.org/2014/02/26/northeastern-universitys-islamists/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">regularly assigns extreme anti-Israel materials in his class</a>. One text is, “<a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/233020/the-holocaust-industry-by-norman-g-finkelstein/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Holocaust Industry</a>,” by author and former professor, Norman Finkelstein. The book alleges that Israel uses the Holocaust to shield itself from criticism when committing war crimes on par with that of the Nazis.
“The Holocaust has proven to be an indispensable ideological weapon. Through its deployment, one of the world’s most formidable military powers, with a horrendous human rights record, has cast itself as a “victim” state, and the most successful ethnic group in the US has likewise acquired victim status.” &#8211; Norman Finkelstein, The Holocaust Industry
Another assigned text is titled, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ethnic-Cleansing-Palestine-Ilan-Pappe/dp/1851685553" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine</a>&#8221; by IIan Pappe. The book falsely charges Israel with committing mass genocide and ethnic cleansing of the region’s Arabs during the nation’s founding.
Dr. Sullivan has directed numerous university-sponsored trips to introduce students to meet Syrian and Egyptian officials. As APT has documented, his students met with at least one Egyptian minister <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9mmOilcDA4&amp;ab_channel=apeacet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who believes in the antisemitic conspiracy that Jews manipulate and control the world economy</a>.
In addition to his duties in the Middle East Center, his biography lists him as a member of the organization, “Human Rights Watch.” The group has been <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/04/experts-slam-human-rights-watch-for-biased-and-inaccurate-report-accusing-israel-of-apartheid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused by a number of watchdog organizations of publishing slanted and falsified information about Israel</a>. The organization has become so maligned, that its founder, Robert Bernstein, once lambasted his organization for <a href="https://archive.ph/b1E3q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">focusing its efforts solely on Israel while ignoring actual authoritarian regimes</a>.

According to reports from the group <a href="https://www.peaceandtolerance.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Americans for Peace and Tolerance (APT)</a>, Dr. Sullivan <a href="https://www.peaceandtolerance.org/2014/02/26/northeastern-universitys-islamists/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">regularly assigns extreme anti-Israel materials in his class</a>. One text is, “<a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/233020/the-holocaust-industry-by-norman-g-finkelstein/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Holocaust Industry</a>,” by author and former professor, Norman Finkelstein. The book alleges that Israel uses the Holocaust to shield itself from criticism when committing war crimes on par with that of the Nazis.

“The Holocaust has proven to be an indispensable ideological weapon. Through its deployment, one of the world’s most formidable military powers, with a horrendous human rights record, has cast itself as a “victim” state, and the most successful ethnic group in the US has likewise acquired victim status.” - Norman Finkelstein, The Holocaust Industry

Another assigned text is titled, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ethnic-Cleansing-Palestine-Ilan-Pappe/dp/1851685553" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine</a>'' by IIan Pappe. The book falsely charges Israel with committing mass genocide and ethnic cleansing of the region’s Arabs during the nation’s founding.

Dr. Sullivan has directed numerous university-sponsored trips to introduce students to meet Syrian and Egyptian officials. As APT has documented, his students met with at least one Egyptian minister <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9mmOilcDA4&amp;ab_channel=apeacet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who believes in the antisemitic conspiracy that Jews manipulate and control the world economy</a>.

In addition to his duties in the Middle East Center, his biography lists him as a member of the organization, “Human Rights Watch.” The group has been <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/04/experts-slam-human-rights-watch-for-biased-and-inaccurate-report-accusing-israel-of-apartheid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused by a number of watchdog organizations of publishing slanted and falsified information about Israel</a>. The organization has become so maligned, that its founder, Robert Bernstein, once lambasted his organization for <a href="https://archive.ph/b1E3q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">focusing its efforts solely on Israel while ignoring actual authoritarian regimes</a>.

Updated - November 30, 2021

<a href="https://cssh.northeastern.edu/faculty/shahid-alam/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Shahid Alam</a> is a professor of economics at <a href="https://www.northeastern.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northeastern University</a> in Boston, Massachusetts. After immigrating to the United States from Pakistan, Dr. Alam began working for Northeastern in 1988 where he serves as the academic advisor for the group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).

Infamous for sympathy towards Islamic terrorism in his work, Dr. Alam has authored pieces justifying suicide bombers, compared the 9/11 highjackers to America’s founding fathers, and repeated antisemitic libels while supporting the BDS movement.

BDS—which stands for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions—is an international movement with a singular focus on boycotting, divesting, and levying sanctions against the world’s sole Jewish state. The movement’s co-founder—Omar Barghouti has admitted that once <a href="https://www.israellycool.com/2020/06/02/watch-bds-co-founder-omar-barghouti-admits-their-goal-is-destruction-of-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">these planks are implemented, they will destroy Israel</a>.

In a piece for the site, CounterPunch, Dr. Alam pens a <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/07/29/the-academic-boycott-of-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">full-throated defense of BDS</a> as a necessary tactic to confront Israel. While characterizing the Jewish state as not a “normal country,” he falsely accuses Israel of constructing an “apartheid state” to commit genocide against Arabs.

Dr. Alam uses his accusation as justification for <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/07/29/the-academic-boycott-of-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">then-ongoing waves of suicide bombers in Israel</a>, writing, “dispossession is implemented by force-unless this project is aided by pathogens; and, it follows, that resistance to the colonizer must be violent.”

An “intifada”—Arabic for “uprising”—refers to a series of Palestinian insurrections within Israel. From 2000-2005, the Second Intifada—known as the <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/background-and-overview-of-al-aqsa-intifada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Al-Aqsa Intifada</a>,”—claimed over 1,100 lives. During this period, terrorist groups like Hamas deployed <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/comprehensive-listing-of-terrorism-victims-in-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suicide bombers and gunmen to target civilians in crowded areas to maximize casualties</a>.

In a separate piece, Dr. Alam again praises suicide bombers, <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/04/03/thomas-friedman-s-lies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">writing that they seek to become martyrs in order to bring “honor” to their nation:</a>

“The Oxford English dictionary defines a suicide as “one who dies by his own hand.” This definition is clearly inadequate. In the absence of a motive, we cannot distinguish between (i) a person who takes his life because he wants to die and (ii) a person who takes his life because this will save her soul-or her honor, her family, her friends, her community, or her country. The first suggests suicide; the latter is ordinarily regarded as a martyr. Judge for yourself then whether the Palestinians are suicides or martyrs.” 

This is not a solitary instance of which Dr. Alam has sought to justify Islamic terrorism. In an article from 2004, he <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2004/12/29/seeking-parallels/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">compared the 9/11 hijackers to America’s Founding Fathers</a>. 

“The colonists had a dream worth pursuing. They were prepared to die for this dream ­and to kill. They did: and they won…On September 11, 2001, nineteen Arab hijackers too demonstrated their willingness to die — and to kill — for what they believed was their dream. They died — so they thought — because they wanted their people to live, free and in dignity.” 

The prior year, Dr. Alam wrote that <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2003/01/02/why-9-11-and-why-now/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the attacks themselves were not in any way unique, and in fact, paled in comparison to the atrocities committed by the United States</a>.

“[The 9/11]  attacks pales into insignificance when compared to the worst terrorist acts perpetrated by states, not excluding United States, over the past five-hundred years.”

In further articles, Dr. Alam depicts Jews in explicit, antisemitic terms. He accuses Jews of using their religion to justify genocide, manipulating the media, possessing dual loyalty, citing the Holocaust for sympathy, and directing America to launch foreign wars on Israel’s behalf:

- One article for CounterPunch decries <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2003/04/05/israelization-of-the-united-states/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Jewish money” swaying elections on behalf of Israel.</a>

- Another piece <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2009/08/21/zionism-an-quot-abnormal-quot-nationalism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accuses Jews of seeking to “compensate” for the absence of a messiah</a> by launching a colonial, genocidal project in Palestine with the assistance of American Christians.

- One accuses <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2010/12/07/unvarnished-truths-about-the-us-and-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jewish organizations of policing and directing the media to proliferate “Israeli lies.”</a>

- Dr. Alam’s book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0230614841/thewisdomfund?pldnSite=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israeli Exceptionalism</a>, accuses <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/zionisms-destabilizing-force-israeli-exceptionalism-reviewed/3569" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jews and Zionists of partnering with the Nazis</a> prior to World War 2.

- The same book describes <a href="http://www.twf.org/News/Y2010/0623-Review.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">neoconservatives as a “mostly Jewish elite” who shape America’s institutions for Israel’s benefit</a>.

- Yet another article accuses <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2003/02/19/israel-s-proxy-war/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Jews and Israel of directing the United States to invade Iraq</a> to distract the world from their alleged genocide of the Palestinians.

- Dr. Alam goes so far as to accuse <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/04/18/a-colonizing-project-built-on-lies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jews of weaponizing the Holocaust</a> to elicit sympathy and distract the world from their own human rights abuses.

- In an op-ed for the Egyptian state-owned newspaper Al-Ahram, Dr. Alam <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070601183749/http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2007/846/op5.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accuses Jews of using their Judaism—or what he mocks as their “chosenness” by God—to excuse racism and ethnically cleanse Palestine</a>.

Rather than hide or justify his views, Dr. Alam seems delighted by accusations of antisemitism. In a leaked lecture, Dr. Alam can be heard advising students to wear allegations of antisemitism “as a badge of honor.”

Under his direction, the Students for Justice in Palestine chapter at Northeastern is notorious on campus for demonizing Israel and glorifying terrorism.

Professor <a href="https://theology.mercer.edu/faculty-and-staff/walker-barnes/">Chanequa Walker-Barnes</a> is an associate professor of practical theology at <a href="https://www.mercer.edu/">Mercer University</a> in Georgia. According to her university <a href="https://theology.mercer.edu/faculty-and-staff/walker-barnes/">profile</a>, Professor Walker-Barnes teaches courses in pastoral care and counseling, spiritual formation, and reconciliation studies.
Professor Walker-Barnes describes herself as a clinical psychologist, public theologian, and ecumenical minister on her personal <a href="https://www.drchanequa.com/">website</a>. She states <a href="https://www.drchanequa.com/about">in her biography</a> that her work focuses on healing the legacies of racial and gender oppression. Walker-Barnes is also the author of, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1620320665/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1620320665&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=drchan-20&amp;linkId=3ae5c05e9427e9c2f5696c179e772f6a">Too Heavy a Yoke</a>, and, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0802877206/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0802877206&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=drchan-20&amp;linkId=511642e6dd4b20da33d6671cff2ff43e">I Bring the Voices of My People: A Womanist for Racial Reconciliation</a>.
In the book <a href="https://www.sarahbessey.com/books/rhythm-of-prayer">A Rhythm of Prayer: A Collection of Meditations for Renewal</a> (edited by Sarah Bessey), there is a chapter authored by Walker-Barnes. Titled <a href="https://www.drchanequa.com/blog">Prayer of a Weary Black Woman</a>, Professor Walker-Barnes uses this chapter to write a letter to God in which she:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Asks God to “help me hate White people”;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Asks God to help her to “stop caring about [White people], individually and collectively”;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Claims she wants to “stop believing that [White people] can be better, that then can stop being racist”; and</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Prays that God will “harden my heart” so that she can “imagine [White people] … as white-hooded robes standing in front of burning crosses”.</li>
</ul>

One example she <a href="https://www.scribd.com/read/399736984/Too-Heavy-a-Yoke-Black-Women-and-the-Burden-of-Strength">lists</a> is the expectation for her to be a “StrongBlackWoman,” a concept she claims is rooted in a late nineteenth-century “racial uplift movement” and “developed as a racialized version of the cult of true womanhood—a White, middle-class ideal characterized by piety, purity, domesticity, and submissiveness.”

In an interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A-gadEfYag&amp;t=79s">WIPF and Stock Publishers</a> about her book, Dr. Walker-Barnes states that stereotypes are imposed on Black women because Christian doctrine has been constructed by “white, European, and US men.”

Later in the same video, Dr. Walker-Barnes absolves Black women of alleviating racism in America. She states that “White identity” oppresses women of color and it is therefore incumbent upon only White Christians to interrogate their own “whiteness”.

Dr. Walker-Barnes further details her beliefs about “whiteness” in a lecture titled, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc5VzRLgK_4">Pathological Whiteness</a>, stating its purpose is the maintenance of white supremacy. She contends the 2016 election of President Donald J. Trump is proof that America is afflicted with the problem of “whiteness.” After claiming this problem exists in the “bodies” of white people, Dr. Walker-Barnes proceeds to ask the white members of the audience “How does it feel to be a problem?”

Professor <a href="https://theology.mercer.edu/faculty-and-staff/walker-barnes/">Chanequa Walker-Barnes</a> is an associate professor of practical theology at <a href="https://www.mercer.edu/">Mercer University</a> in Georgia. According to her university <a href="https://theology.mercer.edu/faculty-and-staff/walker-barnes/">profile</a>, Professor Walker-Barnes teaches courses in pastoral care and counseling, spiritual formation, and reconciliation studies.

Professor Walker-Barnes describes herself as a clinical psychologist, public theologian, and ecumenical minister on her personal <a href="https://www.drchanequa.com/">website</a>. She states <a href="https://www.drchanequa.com/about">in her biography</a> that her work focuses on healing the legacies of racial and gender oppression. Walker-Barnes is also the author of, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1620320665/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1620320665&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=drchan-20&amp;linkId=3ae5c05e9427e9c2f5696c179e772f6a">Too Heavy a Yoke</a>, and, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0802877206/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0802877206&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=drchan-20&amp;linkId=511642e6dd4b20da33d6671cff2ff43e">I Bring the Voices of My People: A Womanist for Racial Reconciliation</a>.

In the book <a href="https://www.sarahbessey.com/books/rhythm-of-prayer">A Rhythm of Prayer: A Collection of Meditations for Renewal</a> (edited by Sarah Bessey), there is a chapter authored by Walker-Barnes. Titled <a href="https://www.drchanequa.com/blog">Prayer of a Weary Black Woman</a>, Professor Walker-Barnes uses this chapter to write a letter to God in which she:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Asks God to “help me hate White people”;</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Asks God to help her to “stop caring about [White people], individually and collectively”;</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Claims she wants to “stop believing that [White people] can be better, that then can stop being racist”; and</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Prays that God will “harden my heart” so that she can “imagine [White people] … as white-hooded robes standing in front of burning crosses”.</li>
</ul>

One example she <a href="https://www.scribd.com/read/399736984/Too-Heavy-a-Yoke-Black-Women-and-the-Burden-of-Strength">lists</a> is the expectation for her to be a “StrongBlackWoman,” a concept she claims is rooted in a late nineteenth-century “racial uplift movement” and “developed as a racialized version of the cult of true womanhood—a White, middle-class ideal characterized by piety, purity, domesticity, and submissiveness.”

In an interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A-gadEfYag&amp;t=79s">WIPF and Stock Publishers</a> about her book, Dr. Walker-Barnes states that stereotypes are imposed on Black women because Christian doctrine has been constructed by “white, European, and US men.”

<a href="https://www.sociology.northwestern.edu/people/faculty/core/laura-beth-nielsen.html">Dr. Laura Beth Nielsen</a> is a Professor of Sociology at Northwestern University. She wrote in an op-ed that there are good arguments for restricting free speech rights. She said that racist hate speech has been linked to higher rates of smoking and obesity, for example. Supporting her argument for restricting speech, she pointed out that recently the Supreme Court ruled that a music group (&#8220;The Slants&#8221;, a band made up of Asian-Americans) was allowed to use a derogatory name as their band name, although she did not point out the band was using the name to mock people who use the name in a derogatory fashion.

Butz is an open Holocaust denier and has authored a number of books and articles denying that millions of Jews perished in Nazi concentration camps.

In his book, The Hoax of the 20th-Century, Butz <a href="https://archive.org/details/HoaxOfTheTwentiethCentury/page/n231/mode/2up?q=23">claims</a> that there is no proof of any intent by the Nazis to exterminate Europe’s Jews.

In an op-ed for the Daily Northwestern, he <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110608193504/http://www.codoh.com/butz/di/intro.html">claimed</a> that the Jews that did perish in the camps died from typhus, and there was no concerted effort by the Nazis to exterminate Jews. In the same article, Butz claimed that the Nuremberg Trials were needed to establish the “legend” of the holocaust, due to there being no physical proof of an extermination campaign by the Germans.

In a 1996 paper, Butz openly <a href="https://codoh.com/library/document/jewish-testimonies-in-the-postwar-era/en/">attacked</a> Holocaust victims, accusing them of “malicious lying,” and greatly exaggerating atrocities suffered by their families:

In an interview with an Iranian news station, Butz stated that <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2006-02-04-0602040129-story.html">he agreed</a> with Iranian Prime Minister Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that the Holocaust was a “myth.” He went on to state that the Holocaust was a “deliberately conceived falsehood” in order to create the state of Israel and congratulated the Prime Minister for denying its existence:

“I congratulate him on becoming the first head of state to speak out clearly on [the Holocaust] and regret only that it was not a Western head of state”

Despite his beliefs, Northwestern University <a href="https://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2006/02/bienen.html">continues</a> to employ Butz. University President Henry S. Bienen stated that while his opinions are “reprehensible,” no action can be taken as Butz’s views are personal and expressed outside of the classroom.

<a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/socialsciences/historydept/faculty/faculty-lmaischak.html">Lars Maischak</a> is a lecturer in the Department of History at <a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/">California State University, Fresno</a>. According to his university <a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/socialsciences/historydept/faculty/faculty-lmaischak.html">biography</a>, Maischak teaches the courses, Colonial Americas, American History to 1877, England and Empire, United States 1789-1865, and Topics in History - Marx and Hegel for Historians. Maischak uses his personal Twitter account to call for the execution of the 45th President, Donald Trump, and refers to conservatives as fascists.

Maischak claims that fascism is the eventual result of capitalism in a paper titled, <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h6fiDilfQWGpUrKEh2zzCrBo_iOUHA8C/view">There can be no Democracy without Socialism</a>, shared on Google Drive. Describing fascism as the “creature of capitalism,” Maischak claims that capitalism facilitates the exploitation of workers, or what he describes as the establishment of a “dictatorship of capital over labor."

Maischak further <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h6fiDilfQWGpUrKEh2zzCrBo_iOUHA8C/view">cites</a> the territorial expansion, slave labor, and the outlawing of unions in Nazi Germany as examples of capitalism’s logical end. He later describes the liberties inherent in capitalism as the freedom to commit mass murder and barbarism.

Maischak called for the assassination of then-President Donald Trump via hanging in now-deleted tweets on his personal Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/LMaischak">account</a> in February of 2017.

According to a <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/04/07/professor-trump-must-hang-republicans-should-be-executed-for-each-immigrant-deported/">Daily Caller </a>report, Maischak additionally calls for an “ethnic cleansing” of Republicans.

“#TheResistance #ethniccleansing Justice = The execution of two Republicans for each deported immigrant.” - Lars Maischak

Once Maischak’s tweets were published by outlets like the <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/04/07/professor-trump-must-hang-republicans-should-be-executed-for-each-immigrant-deported/">Daily Caller</a> and <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/local/2017/04/13/fresno-state-fbi-secret-service-probing-history-instructor-over-trump-must-hang-tweet/">Breitbart</a>, Maischak offered an initial apology for his remarks. In a written statement to the <a href="https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article144293174.html">Fresno Bee</a>, Maischak asks for forgiveness and states, “It was never my intent to harm anyone, nor to encourage others to harm anyone.”

According to <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/08/07/after-anti-trump-tweets-fresno-state-removes-adjunct-professor-teaching-position">Inside Higher Ed</a>, Maischak’s classes were canceled by the university before he was later removed from his position following his remarks about President Trump. However, as of March 2021, Fresno State University still <a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/socialsciences/historydept/faculty/faculty-lmaischak.html">lists</a> Maischak as a Lecturer in the History department. In addition, his personal Twitter account still <a href="https://twitter.com/LMaischak">contains</a> tweets calling for former president Donald Trump to be hanged, and tweets referring to conservatives as “fascists” that must face “repression” that have not been removed or recanted.

Following initial coverage of Maischak’s remarks in 2017, the Fresno Bee <a href="https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article144293174.html">reports</a> that University President, Joseph Castro, stated in a conference call with reporters that he was cooperating with an investigation of Maischak by the Secret Service, Homeland Security, and the FBI. Following this statement, Fresno Bee also <a href="https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article144293174.html">reported</a> that Maischak then accused President Castro of allowing himself to be used by a “right-wing smear machine” for cooperating with the investigation.

The Professor Watchlist team reached out to Maischak for comment but has not received a reply by the time of publication.

<a href="http://fresnostate.edu/chhs/public-health/faculty-staff/faculty/thatcher.html">Dr. William Thatcher </a>is a Professor of Public Health at Fresno State University. Recently, a pro-life group caught him on camera erasing pro-life messages written in chalk around campus. Thatcher also ordered his students to erase the messages, even though the group had permission to write the messages on the sidewalks.

On her personal <a href="https://twitter.com/randajarrar">Twitter account</a>, Dr. Jarrar castigates white people, praises terrorists, and even calls for the destruction of Israel.

One tweet calls to free Palestine from Israel by stating, “From the river to the sea,”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

The phrase, “from the river to the sea”, was <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/291203" target="_blank" rel="noopener">popularized by terrorist groups such as the Palestinian Liberation Organization</a> (PLO) and alludes to the destruction of Israel—and thus the genocide of the nation’s Jews—between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1948/08/02/archives/aim-to-oust-jews-pledged-by-sheikh-head-of-moslem-brotherhood-says.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The chant is thought to originate from the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan el-Banna</a>, who was quoted by The New York Times stating, "If the Jewish state becomes a fact, and this is realized by the Arab peoples, they will drive the Jews who live in their midst into the sea."

Dr. Jarrar—<a href="https://randajarrar.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who grew up in Egypt and Kuwait</a>—would later reveal that she attended PLO “after-school programs” to learn “resistance songs.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
As a Palestinian child in the '80s I attended PLO-sponsored after school programs, learned about my history, and sang resistance songs.

Her account berates white people as “privileged” and police as members of a “white militia”:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

After experiencing blowback for her remarks, Dr. Jarrar taunted her followers by claiming that she is a tenured professor who makes $100,000 a year and will never be fired.

Dr. Jarrar faced no repercussions and returned to her teaching duties soon-there-after.

In the midst of the controversy, Dr. Jarrar wrote, “If you really wanna reach me, here’s my number ok?”, before <a href="https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/tempe/2018/04/19/fresno-state-professor-randa-jarrar-prank-floods-asu-hotline-barbara-bush/532486002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posting the landline of the ASU crisis line, causing the center to become inundated with calls</a>.

September 11 Attacks
Speaking at MIT following the aftermath of the <a href="https://twitter.com/TPUSA/status/1171500948964818944">September 11 terrorist attacks</a> against the United States, Chomsky <a href="http://tech.mit.edu/V121/N52/52chomsky.52n.html">asserted</a> that 9/11 represented, “the guns having been directed the other way.” The Tech, MIT’s oldest newspaper, also reports Chomsky blaming US citizens for the attacks on 9/11, and that Osama bin Laden, leader of al Qaeda, might be innocent.

Chomsky also <a href="https://www.salon.com/2001/09/26/treason_2/">stated</a> that the US casualties were far less devastating than the effects of US foreign policy around the world. Chomsky <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/noam-chomsky/">stated</a> that the United States was attempting to murder “3-4 million people” in Afganistan and that the strike against Osama bin Laden was “some sort of silent genocide.”
In an article published in 2020, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/how-many-people-died-911-thousands-perishing-september-11-related-illnesses-1531058">Newsweek found that</a> “In New York, 2,750 people were killed, at the Pentagon 184 died, and a further 40 people were killed in Pennsylvania.” Newsweek also reported that 400 first responders were killed and that 18,000 survivors have been diagnosed with “9/11-related cancer.”

<a href="https://www.geo.arizona.edu/person/jessica-kapp">Dr. Jess Kapp</a> is a lecturer at the University of Arizona. She wrote a blog post called "The Rape of America" where she compared the election of Donald Trump to rape. "He whispers promises of protection with crossed fingers behind his back, and while we prepare to give him a chance, turning our heads from his proven history of lies, he will attack us bareback and ride us until we tear...

September 11 Attacks
Speaking at MIT following the aftermath of the <a href="https://twitter.com/TPUSA/status/1171500948964818944">September 11 terrorist attacks</a> against the United States, Chomsky <a href="http://tech.mit.edu/V121/N52/52chomsky.52n.html">asserted</a> that 9/11 represented, “the guns having been directed the other way.” The Tech, MIT’s oldest newspaper, also reports Chomsky blaming US citizens for the attacks on 9/11, and that Osama bin Laden, leader of al Qaeda, might be innocent.
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1127 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-94-e1614388858415-1024x197.png" alt="" width="580" height="112" />
Chomsky also <a href="https://www.salon.com/2001/09/26/treason_2/">stated</a> that the US casualties were far less devastating than the effects of US foreign policy around the world. Chomsky <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/noam-chomsky/">stated</a> that the United States was attempting to murder “3-4 million people” in Afganistan and that the strike against Osama bin Laden was “some sort of silent genocide.”

In an article published in 2020, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/how-many-people-died-911-thousands-perishing-september-11-related-illnesses-1531058">Newsweek found that</a> “In New York, 2,750 people were killed, at the Pentagon 184 died, and a further 40 people were killed in Pennsylvania.” Newsweek also reported that 400 first responders were killed and that 18,000 survivors have been diagnosed with “9/11-related cancer.”

<a href="https://english.arizona.edu/people/sylvia-chan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ms. Sylvia Chan</a> is a lecturer in the Department of English at the University of Arizona. In the Fall 2021 semester, Ms. Chan will be teaching a Black Lives Matter(BLM)-inspired course that counts towards an English requirement for graduation.

<img class="wp-image-1511 size-full aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Screen-Shot-2021-08-19-at-3.38.45-PM-e1629412801120.png" alt="" width="399" height="389" />
<a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/ENGL101A-BLM_Flyer_Fall-2021_Final-2-2.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ENGL101A BLM_Flyer_Fall 2021_Final (2) (2)</a>
Despite describing themselves as an inclusive, civil-rights organization, BLM embraces radically left-wing policies and tactics. Some of which include the following:

-<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/blm-pressures-democrats-breathe-act-prison-abolition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abolishing prisons</a>

- <a href="https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2020/07/17/black-lives-matter-activist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abolishing police forces</a>

- <a href="https://fee.org/articles/black-lives-matter-s-goal-to-disrupt-the-nuclear-family-fits-a-marxist-aim-that-goes-back-a-century-and-a-half/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dismantling the nuclear family</a>

- <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/05/30/blm-co-founder-called-to-end-imperialist-project-of-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Destroying the nation of Israel</a>

- <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/06/25/blm-co-founder-describes-herself-as-trained-marxist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Drawing inspiration from Marxism</a>

- <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/13/blm-organizer-who-called-looting-reparations-doubles-down/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Endorsing riots and looting</a>

According to a <a href="https://acleddata.com/2020/09/03/demonstrations-political-violence-in-america-new-data-for-summer-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Federalist </a>found that “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the most destructive in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

The course is officially titled, “ENGL 101A: #SayTheirNames, a Black Lives Matter Literacy.” Students will be asked to study how American values are connected to “blackness,” and “whiteness.” Ms. Chan will then ask the following:

- How does social media allow for critiques of race, gender, sexuality, and violence?

- What does it mean to say their names as an elegy, an anthem, and a language to give space for talking about Black Lives?

The phrase “Say Their Names” is frequently chanted at BLM protests. The slogan is an attempt, by activists, to draw attention to black men and women who have allegedly been murdered by police. <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/08/28/sen-rand-paul-surrounded-as-diverse-group-of-cops-defends-from-mob/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senator Rand Paul was assaulted in August of 2020 by a mob yelling “[Brianna Taylor] Say Her Name!</a>”

&nbsp;

Taylor, whose name is depicted in the banner of the course’s announcement, was reportedly dealing narcotics with her boyfriend–Kenneth Walker—at the time of her death. <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/09/the_truth_finally_emerges_about_breonna_taylors_death.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Walker opened fire on cops executing a search warrant on his apartment</a>, resulting in Breonna (who was present) dying in the crossfire.

Listed alongside the announcement banner are the course’s assigned texts. Those enrolled are required to read the following:

- Beyonce’s “Formation.” <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2016/02/08/2970258/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The song is a tribute to the Marxist, Black Panther Party</a>.

- Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright.” <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kendrick-lamar-alright-2016-10?op=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The song is frequently sung at BLM protests</a>.

- Ta-Nehisi Coates’s “A Letter to My Son.” Coates authors a hypothetical letter to inform his son that he will grow up in a country that will <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/07/tanehisi-coates-between-the-world-and-me/397619/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">oppress him because of his skin color</a>. Coates himself once described <a href="https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/07/the-toxic-world-view-of-ta-nehisi-coates-120512/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">9/11 first responders as “menaces of nature</a>.”

The course further promises to help students improve their writing skills by crafting a social narrative based on their “own social justice.” The class itself <a href="https://catalog.arizona.edu/policy/foundations-writing-requirement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fulfills a Foundations Writing Requirement</a> for the University, which students are required to complete in order to graduate.

Dr. <a href="https://www.brandeis.edu/gsas/admissions/contact.html">Kate Slater</a> is the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs at Brandeis University. On her personal website, Dr. Slater <a href="https://kateaslater.com/about">describes herself as a “white anti-racist scholar and educator.</a>” In this capacity, Dr. Slater writes that she studies how “white racial identity formation and how racism operates individually, organizationally, and systemically.”
In a now-highly-publicized post on her private Instagram page—obtained by The College Fix—Dr. Slater launched into a<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/brandeis-university-dean-yes-all-white-people-are-racist/"> racially inflammatory attack on white people and defended the teaching of Critical Race Theory</a>. Writing that, “all white people are racist,” she claims that American society conditions white people—including herself—to be racist, which justifies the need for critical theory in education.

Critical Theory, or Critical Race Theory, is an <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/">intellectual branch of Marxism that alleges American society and all of its founding institutions are infected with and perpetuate white supremacy</a>. Furthermore, proponents of Critical Race Theory believe that people should take proactive steps to dismantle these institutions in the name of equity, which is also referred to as being “anti-racist.”
Dr. Slater’s website also <a href="https://kateaslater.com/trainings">offers anti-racism training and courses on Critical Race Theory for universities and K-12 institutions</a>. On the promotional page for one such lecture titled 4 Steps to Begin an Antiracist Education—<a href="https://www.unh.edu/unhtoday/2020/07/world-shaped-race">sponsored and promoted by the University of New Hampshire</a>—skin color is described as the determining factor for how successful one&#8217;s life will be.

In the lecture itself, Dr. Slater states that an antiracist worldview begins with the understanding that a <a href="https://media.unh.edu/media/In-Depth+on+InclusionA+4+Steps+to+Begin+An+Anti-Racist+Education/1_8lg7eccx">white person is never NOT racist in American society</a>. She further divides individuals into two categories: Those with a racist worldview, and those who take antiracist actions.

&nbsp;
Dr. Slater urges her white students to personally engage in antiracism throughout the lecture. She even encourages a teacher who was present at the lecture to discuss her stances on antiracism with her own students. At one point, Dr. Slater states that all white people are the “oppressors” and therefore cannot have opinions about racism.

In addition to teaching, Dr. <a href="https://www.today.com/tmrw/how-be-anti-racist-what-new-steps-you-should-take-t208711">Slater frequently contributes articles to NBC</a> on topics such as antiracism, <a href="https://www.today.com/tmrw/defund-police-protests-call-abolish-reform-allyship-t183808">defunding the police</a>, and what she claims is <a href="https://www.today.com/tmrw/what-systemic-racism-t207878">systemic racism</a> in the country.

Dr. Slater urges her white students to personally engage in antiracism throughout the lecture. She even encourages a teacher who was present at the lecture to discuss her stances on antiracism with her own students. At one point, Dr. Slater states that all white people are the “oppressors” and therefore cannot have opinions about racism.

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

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

Besides “racist”, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJadc6GEfyA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lowndes also labels</a> conservatives as “conspiracy theorists” (particularly around COVID-19, election integrity, and BLM), “dangerous”, and “self-appointed vigilantes.”  He claims the “foe of those on the right” are opponents defined by race, religion, nationality, and immigrants from the outside. He accuses conservatives as demonizing anyone against their ideals.

<a href="https://www.heritage.org/conservatism/commentary/defining-the-principles-conservatism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conservative principles </a>are founded in the belief that the government should have limited involvement in the everyday life of American citizens. The federal government’s power should be restricted to what is outlined in the constitution. American individuals and families should have the right to decide what is best for their religion, health, and welfare without government involvement. Taxes should be limited only to what is necessary to fund constitutionally appropriate functions. None of these principles have any bearing on someone’s race, religion, or nationality.

<a href="http://sts.cornell.edu/people/sbp65.cfm">Dr. Sara Pritchard</a> , a professor at Cornell University, has said that student evaluations of female professors are “pervasively slanted by gender bias” and thus prevents them from being more successful.

<a href="https://history.cornell.edu/russell-rickford">Dr. Russell Rickford</a> is an associate professor of history at Cornell University. According to his university biography, Dr. Rickford “specializes in African-American political culture after World War II, the Black Radical Tradition, and transnational social movements.” In his various writings and teaching materials, Dr. Rickford frequently condemns the nation of Israel and alleges that the United States was founded on slavery and white supremacy.

In a book titled <a href="https://books.google.co.il/books?id=SEAeCwAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA276&amp;lpg=PA276&amp;dq=Russell+Rickford+israel&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=vIzqNlUKjC&amp;sig=KRxT1-8CHqm0mHE_Fr8k_PI9bFQ&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiqg_3_t-DTAhUDIVAKHUUCDtMQ6AEIRDAG#v=onepage&amp;q=Russell%20Rickford%20israel&amp;f=false">Beyond Boundaries: The Manning Marable Reader</a>, Dr. Rickford alleges that Israel bears ultimate responsibility for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. On page 276, Dr. Rickford states: “The US media and opinion makers repeatedly went out of their way to twist the facts and distort the political realities of the Middle East by insisting that Osama bin Laden’s group’s murderous assaults had nothing to do with Israel’s policies towards the Palestinians. Nobody else in the world, with the possible exception of the Israeli’s, really believes that.”

In a paper for The New Labor Forum (a labor journal published by the <a href="https://slu.cuny.edu/about/murphy-institute/">Murphy Institute</a> at the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies) titled <a href="https://newlaborforum.cuny.edu/2015/12/28/black-lives-matter-practice-of-mass-struggle/">Black Lives Matter: Toward a Modern Practice of Mass Struggle</a>, Dr. Rickford praises the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as having “reinvigorated confrontation politics.” He describes the tactics of BLM as a commitment to “militancy,” referencing their history of “occupying highways, intersections, sporting events, retail stores, malls, campaign events, police stations, and municipal buildings.”

According to a <a href="https://acleddata.com/2020/09/03/demonstrations-political-violence-in-america-new-data-for-summer-2020/">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to  95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/">The Federalist</a> found that “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion.">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

Dr. Rickford believes the motivations behind BLM riots are “police aggression and racist violence” instigated by law enforcement.  Dr. Rickford claims that white supremacy serves as the framework of our criminal justice system—causing law enforcement agencies to view BLM protestors as “enemy combatants.”

Also in a 2014 lecture captured by The Cornell Review, Dr. Rickford urged his students to find white people that are “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsTQQQmYc88&amp;ab_channel=CornellReview">ready to commit race suicide</a>” on behalf of BLM and other racial justice movements.

In a video captured at a BLM protest in 2016, Dr. Rickford tells a crowd of students and activists that a segment of white America is “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63J7oUdTQOE&amp;ab_channel=JoelBlizzard">overtly, irredeemably racist.</a>”

Dr. Monger further uses his classroom to intimidate and bully students if they fail to adhere to Cornell’s COVID-19 policies. In a letter from October of 2021, the professor asks for help in identifying a “hook-nosed” student. He threatens to flunk him, as well as another student who allegedly did not wear their mask in class.

In July of 2021, the university <a href="https://covid.cornell.edu/updates/20210730-indoor-masks.cfm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mandated masks to be worn indoors at all times, regardless of vaccination status</a>. Cornell additionally <a href="https://covid.cornell.edu/vaccines/vaccination-cornell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">requires students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to attend classes</a>.

“I wanted to ask for your help in identifying two oceans students who were photographed with their masks off during the oceans class last Friday.”

Dr. Monger proceeds to detail the physical appearance of both students, stating that one had “a fairly prominent hooked nose.” He threatens to fail both students once they are identified by himself or another student.

“If/when I identify the students, I will be failing both of them for the semester as promised I would in class last Wednesday.”

In response to an address made by Jeff Sessions at Georgetown University, Bradley wrote an op-ed titled "Civil Debate is Fine. Protest is Better." where he argues protesting and "shutting down speeches" are the only way to promote change.

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

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Dr. Miller then instructs a student to read an article linked in the same tweet. The URL leads to the web page, “Pronouns Matter.” The site itself lists resources that specifically <a href="https://www.mypronouns.org/inclusivelanguage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">instruct users on how to use activists' preferred pronouns</a>.

Under the, “<a href="https://www.mypronouns.org/what-and-why" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What and Why</a>,” section, the page explicitly describes the failure to use preferred pronouns as harmful and harassing to trans and non-binary persons.

“The act of making an assumption (even if correct) sends a potentially harmful message...it can be offensive or harassing to guess at someone’s pronouns and refer to them using those pronouns if that is not how that person wants to be known.”  

The web page<a href="https://www.mypronouns.org/inclusivelanguage" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> further urges students to use more “inclusive” language by refraining from using terms like, “ladies and gentlemen,” or, “boys and girls.”</a>

According to Dr. Miller's biography, his classes include, “Foundations of Yoga Studies”, “History of Modern Yoga” and, “Hinduism, Jainism, and Yoga.”

Faryha Salim was, until May 2021, a professor at the <a href="https://www.cypresscollege.edu/">Cypress College</a> in California. She was suspended by the college after a video emerged of her disparaging police officers in an exchange with a student following his presentation to the class.
In a video originally <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-professor-berates-student-for-calling-police-heroes">published</a> by the Daily Wire, Cypress freshman Braden Ellis can be seen presenting in a communications class taught by Professor Salim via video conference on why he believes “cancel culture” is so destructive. As part of his speech, Braden cited the attempt to “<a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2020/06/rioters-now-targeting-paw-patrol/">cancel</a>” the cartoon “Paw Patrol” by left-wing activists for its positive depiction of law enforcement.
As Ellis enters into the Q&amp;A portion of his presentation, Professor Salim repeatedly interrupts and badgers him about his stance on the police. Professor Salim begins her remarks by falsely claiming that police departments first originated out of efforts by Civil War southerners to capture runaway slaves. When Ellis responds that a good majority of officers are heroes due to the difficult nature of their work, Professor Salim claims that many police officers commit “atrocious crimes” and are not prosecuted for them.

Ellis then proceeds to ask Professor Salim what she would do if someone broke into her home and threatened her with a weapon. The professor responds that she wouldn’t call the police at all because she thinks her life would actually be in greater danger if placed in the hands of a police officer rather than those of a gun-wielding criminal.

<a href="https://ethnicstudies.berkeley.edu/people/hatem-bazian/">Hatem Bazian</a> is a professor of Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the <a href="https://zaytuna.edu/academics/faculty/hatem-bazian">co-founder and assistant professor </a>at Zaytuna College, which is the only accredited American college in which the curriculum is based on Islamic fundamentals. Bazian’s resume is littered with antisemitic and pro-terror incidents, both on and off-campus.
When attending San Francisco State University, Bazian accused the student newspaper of being <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/19590/profiles-in-hate-hatem-bazian">infiltrated by “Jewish spies</a>,” and allegedly denied Jewish students jobs while serving as Student Body President, claiming their support of Israel exhibited their racism.
Bazian’s activism grew more militant with time. At an Islamic conference in 1999, he was quoted by the Detroit Free Press reciting an Islamic Hadith <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/8865/hatem-bazian-personal-story">calling for the slaughter of Jews</a>.

After 79 members of Students for Justice in Palestine were arrested for disrupting a Holocaust memorial, Bazian asserted that the university&#8217;s actions were racially motivated. During the subsequently organized protests, Bazain <a href="https://www.jweekly.com/2018/10/22/berkeley-city-councils-shameful-tolerance-of-anti-semitism/">insinuated that powerful Jews controlled the University and orchestrated the arrests</a>.

Bazian’s thinly veiled antisemitism is seamlessly <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Hatem_Bazian">interlaced with his anti-Israel demagoguery</a>. A proponent of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement,  Bazian has called for the dismantlement of the state of Israel and has praised the terrorist group Hamas. Bazian <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mfv5yaKxNgo&amp;ab_channel=HamasOnCampus">openly called for a domestic insurrection</a> within America. Calling the crowd to arms at a 2003 anti-war rally, Bazian called for an “Intifada” to start in America.

The Intifada was then in the midst of its third year of blood-soaked carnage in Israel. Before it abated in 2006, <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/comprehensive-listing-of-terrorism-victims-in-israel">over one thousand men, women, and children would perish</a> from sniper fire and suicide attacks on buses, markets, and restaurants. The most gruesome attacks included the <a href="https://www.algemeiner.com/2020/10/26/what-the-ramallah-lynchings-taught-us-about-palestinian-incitement/">public lynching and disembowelment of two Israeli soldiers</a>, and the <a href="https://www.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/18-years-after-sbarro-suicide-attack-pa-has-paid-910823-to-the-culprits-598106">bombing of a Sbarro pizzeria</a>, killing 15 civilians, including 7 children and a pregnant woman.
Extending to the classroom and beyond, Bazian has co-founded two anti-Israel groups: <a href="https://canarymission.org/organization/SJP">Students for Justice in Palestine</a> (SJP), and American Muslims for Palestine (AMP).
Bazian co-founded SJP with fellow professor <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/snehalshingavi">Snehal Shingavi</a> in 2001 in solidarity with Palestinian groups, as the Intifada raged in Israel. The group is known for its belligerent tactics and hostility towards Jewish and pro-Israel students on campus. SJP openly calls for the destruction of Israel and has never been shy about their support for Hamas. <a href="https://canarymission.org/individual/Azka_Fayyaz">A student senator and member of SJP</a> at UC Davis <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/new-film-depicts-jewish-students-growing-insecurity-on-campus/">welcomed “Hamas and sharia law&#8221;</a> to campus.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SF2qAJl65k&amp;ab_channel=CanaryMission">American Muslims for Palestine</a>, of which Bazian serves as Chairman, is rooted in the now-defunct Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP). Facing scrutiny by the federal government over its ties to overseas jihadist groups, IAP ceased operations in 2003 to avoid prosecution.

Bazian is a tenured professor at one of the world’s most prestigious colleges. Tens of thousands of students have passed through his classroom while accruing many thousands more in debt, over his many decades in academia. His radicalism isn’t hidden—Bazian has openly embraced and preached the most radical, violent, and bigoted positions imaginable and sought to inspire future leaders with those same values.
&nbsp;
UPDATE &#8211; May 27, 2022
A previous edition that attributed a quote to Hatem Bazian has been corrected and attributed to an article hosted on the IAP website in December, 2000

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

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

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

<a href="https://ethnicstudies.berkeley.edu/people/ramon-grosfoguel-1/">Ramon Grosfoguel</a> is an associate professor of Chicano and Latino Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. According to his university biography, Grosfoguel also specializes in decoloniality and the study of Islamophobia.
Grosfoguel is notable for his vocal opposition to the state of Israel and support for BDS. In an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu1PCTNGgB8&amp;ab_channel=IHRCtv">interview</a> with the Islamic Human Rights Commission during Al-Quds Day (an <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/on-quds-day-irans-leader-says-zionism-a-virus-that-must-be-eliminated/">Iranian holiday</a> dedicated to the destruction of Israel) not only did he claim that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians, but that Israel is a threat to peace across the world. Grosfoguel claimed that Israel is infiltrating nations and aligning itself with openly fascist organizations in order to strangle freedom of speech.
Grosfoguel also claims that Jews <a href="https://www.okcir.com/Articles%20VII%202/Grosfoguel-FM.pdf">cynically use the Holocaust</a> to elicit sympathy from the world in order to commit atrocities against Arabs;
“The simplistic identity politics of the Holocaust hegemonic narrative that essentialized Jewish identity as homogenous eternal victims and always intentionally innocent ended with Gaza.”   
“These simplistic and reductionist narratives about the Holocaust and Jewish identity were exploited by the Zionists for the last 60 years to legitimate their fundamentalist Jewish state built upon the practices and methods of settler colonialism against the Palestinians.”                  
“Hitlerism as a continuation of colonial racist ideology came back to hunt Palestinians this time at the hands of European Jews who ironically were escaping from the Nazi Holocaust.” 
“&#8230;the Holocaust was always manipulated, abused, and institutionalized by the Israeli settler colonialist state from its foundation in 1948 until today to justify its colonial domination, expansion, and terror.”

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

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

During her testimony, Dr. Bridges referenced “persons with the capacity for pregnancy” when speaking about individuals who sought abortions. When questioned by Senator Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) if she was referring to pregnant women, Dr. Bridges replied that she was referring to all “cis-women, trans-men, and non-binary people.”
When further pressed if abortion is a women’s rights issue, Dr. Bridges accused Hawley of asking questions that exposed “trans people to violence.”
Dr. Bridges then asked Hawley if he believes that men can become pregnant. Astonished, Hawley replied, “No, I don’t think men can get pregnant,” she further accused him of denying that trans people exist.

Yvette Felarca is a <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvette-felarca-bb5671214" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teacher at Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School</a> in the Berkeley Unified School District in California. She has been teaching at the middle school for over 14 years.
When she isn’t molding young minds in the classroom, Felarca can be found <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/militant-left-wing-leader-arrested-for-allegedly-inciting-violence-at-2016-sacramento-melee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inciting Antifa riots</a> with her leftist group, BAMN. Felarca is one of the leaders of BAMN, which stands for “By Any Means Necessary.” <a href="https://www.bamn.com/about-bamn-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to their website</a>, BAMN is a democratic youth-led civil rights and immigrant rights organization that is “fighting to put the oppressed in power.”

In 2016, Felarca was arrested twice on charges of inciting riots and violence in California. She was also arrested on a felony charge of assault. Felarca asked the judge to dismiss the charges on the grounds that she was the victim of a “political witch hunt,” but the<a href="https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2018/05/10/judge-refuses-dismiss-charges-antifa-leader-yvette-felarca-n257842" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> judge ruled the felony case against her could proceed</a>.

After the arrests, conservative outlet Judicial Watch filed a request to the Berkeley Unified School District to release any emails related to Felarca and her Antifa group, BAMN. Felarca then sued the district, claiming that releasing the emails would violate her rights to free speech and freedom of expression. The judge, however, <a href="https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2018/11/01/judge-orders-release-yvette-felarcas-emails-n264708" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruled that releasing the documents</a> did not violate any rights. The judge also ruled that Felarca was required to pay Judicial Watch $22,000 for their legal fees for filing a frivolous lawsuit against them.
Over 150 pages of emails were released to Judicial Watch. One email even mentioned how Felarca requires her students to participate in political activities, <a href="https://www.berkeleyside.org/2018/10/30/berkeley-unified-flooded-with-angry-calls-threats-over-felarca-records-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">including having students make anti-Trump stickers</a>, in class.
Felarca went on Tucker Carlson to discuss how violent leftist protesters were justified in their actions to shut down right-wing speech. The interview in its entirety can be viewed below:

In 2016, Felarca was arrested twice on charges of inciting riots and violence in California. She was also arrested on a felony charge of assault.
