*Following coverage by the Professor Watchlist team, Michael Park is no longer listed as an instructor at California State University-Long Beach.*
Michael Park is an instructor at California State University-Long Beach. He used a media law class to disparage Tea Partiers and conservatives as being birthers. In an assignment, he implied that opposition to President Obama is based on a belief that he is not a "true American". This is similar to a class taught by Christopher Knap, a fellow CSULB professor that assigned a homework assignment implying Trump is homophobic/sexist.

<a href="https://cla.csulb.edu/departments/africanastudies/faculty-and-staff/maulana-karenga/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Maulana Karenga</a> is Chair of <a href="https://cla.csulb.edu/departments/africanastudies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Africana Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.csulb.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California State University - Long Beach</a>. Dr. Karenga was a prominent black nationalist during the 1960s and 1970s, during which time he founded the holiday, “Kwanzaa.” Prone to extremity and paranoia, Dr. Karenga was convicted for the imprisonment and torture of two women he falsely suspected of poisoning him.

Born Ronald McKinley Everett, Dr. Karenga founded <a href="http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/45a/767.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kwanzaa as a pan-African holiday</a> in 1966. Despite that most American blacks are descended from West Africa, the name and traditions are based on East African Swahili. He would further <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/12/kwanzaa__a_madeup_holiday_.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">state the holiday’s proximity to Christmas was intentional, as otherwise it wouldn't be noticed</a> by the black community.

People think it’s African. But it’s not. I wanted to give black people a holiday of their own. So I came up with Kwanzaa. I said it was African because you know black people in this country wouldn’t celebrate it if they knew it was American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that’s when a lot of bloods [blacks] would be partying!

Dr. Kerenga intended for Kwanzaa to replace Christian and Jewish holidays. As he wrote in his book—Kawaida Theory—Western faith, “denies and diminishes human worth, capacity, potential and achievement." In Christian and Jewish mythology, humans are born in sin, cursed with mythical ancestors who've sinned and brought the wrath of an angry God on every generation's head.”

Dr. Karenga adopted his current name after embracing black nationalism while living on the West Coast in the 1960s. He would go on to found his own group—titled, <a href="https://www.us-organization.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Organization US</a>—as a more radical alternative to his rivals in the Black Panther Party.

<a href="http://web.stanford.edu/~ccarson/articles/am_left.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Black Panthers</a>—known officially as the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense—was a black-nationalist and Marxist organization that operated largely in California during the 1960s and 1970s. Known for their violent tactics and enforcement of party discipline, members would<a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/whitewashing-the-black-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> pour boiling water over suspected </a>police informants. Co-founder, Huey Newton, is <a href="https://www.salon.com/1999/12/13/betty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspected to have taken part in multiple murders</a> committed by the Panthers.

Dr. Karenga’s organization frequently clashed with the rival, Black Panthers. Following a dispute over who would lead the Afro-American Studies Center at UCLA, <a href="https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/600011/posts?page=7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Organization US members shot two Black Panthers to death on the campus in 1969</a> which set off a series of shootings across Los Angeles that summer. The incident caused Dr. Karenga to fall into paranoia and suspect his own followers of plotting to kill him.

On the evening of May 9th, 1970, Dr. Karenga and several of his followers confronted two women who were staying at his home. He accused both of placing poison “crystals” in his food and water. According to court testimony, the women were then stripped naked, bound, and ordered to confess. Dr. Karenga tortured both women over the next two days, beating each with an electrical cord, and then branded them with a soldering iron.

While awaiting trial, Dr. Karenga’s mental health continued to deteriorate. The court-appointed psychologist found him to be schizophrenic, and reportedly caught Dr. Karenga speaking to hallucinations in his jail cell:

“Since his admission here he has been isolated and has been exhibiting bizarre behavior, such as staring at the wall, talking to imaginary persons, claiming that he was attacked by dive-bombers and that his attorney was in the next cell. During part of the interview he would look around as if reacting to a hallucination and when the examiner walked away for a moment he began a conversation with a blanket located on his bed. This man now presents a picture which can be considered both paranoid and schizophrenic with hallucinations and elusions, inappropriate affect, disorganization, and impaired contact with the environment.” 

The court later sentenced him to one to ten years in jail for two counts of felonious assault, and one count of false imprisonment. However, he was granted parole in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kwanzaa-was-invented-insane-leftist-gangster-who-michael-j-knowles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1975 thanks to a letter-writing campaign by his followers.</a>

While in jail, Karenga converted his ideology from Black Nationalism to explicit Marxism. In 1978, just a few years after his release, Dr. Karenga was hired as the Chair of the African Studies department, where he now resides as of March 2022.

<a href="https://www.csulb.edu/college-of-education/teacher-education/page/noah-asher-golden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Noah Golden</a> is an Associate Professor of Teacher Education at California State University, Long Beach. According to his university profile, his work “engages socio-cultural and critical approaches to literacy education, and centers on issues of equity and opportunity.” When asked about his research interests, Golden writes:
“My scholarship investigates the social positioning of minoritized students as well as these students’ endeavors to (re)position themselves along desired storylines and life trajectories. This research agenda includes the factors and sets of conditions that support student (re)positioning, including critical literacy practice, justice-oriented teacher education and activism, and responsive, strength-based teaching and learning.” 
Golden wrote an <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09523987.2017.1391523" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Critical digital literacies across scales and beneath the screen” in which he claimed that computer software helps perpetuate “systems of privilege and oppression” against minority children. In this piece, Golden wrote:
“Software plays a central role in maintaining separate and unequal educational opportunities for marginalized youth.” 
He claims software “converts lived realities, learner strengths, and communal needs into a number, cluster grouping, or other data points,” which can “produce or reproduce systems of privilege and oppression.”

He further argues that when schools use this software, “educational access and deservingness is outsourced to algorithms” that help in “maintaining racial and class privilege and contributing to the oppression of marginalized learners.”

<a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/computer-software-perpetuates-systemic-racism-prof-finds/10006" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, reporting on the article, stated:
“To fight this, Golden argues that professors of digital literacy must further explore how algorithms and software can be used to perpetuate privilege and oppression, optimistically concluding that ‘there are possibilities for interrupting these hegemonic processes.’”

As The Federalist <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2021/03/12/kentuckys-berea-college-event-says-trumpism-is-terrorism-at-its-core/">reports</a>, in March of 2020, Brandzel spoke at an event called, “White Citizenship as Terrorism” as part of Berea College’s “<a href="https://www.berea.edu/wgs/gender-talk/">Gender Talk</a>” series. According to the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BereaCollegeWomensAndGenderStudies/photos/gm.283700139806240/3790021261044031/?type=3&amp;theater">event page’s description</a>, Brandzel details that her lecture will address the “mourning” of America for a time when the actions of white people, no matter how violent, would go “unquestioned.”

&nbsp;
The event page for “White Citizenship as Terrorism” goes on to <a href="https://www.berea.edu/wgs/gender-talk/">state</a> that the phrase, “Make America Great Again,” hearkens back to this “nostalgic” past of white impunity for which white America has been pining. Brandzel builds upon this theory, referring to it as “Trumpism” and a form of domestic terrorism.

After being introduced by Women and Gender Studies professor, Dr. Malaklou, Brandzel opens her lecture acknowledging that as a “white settler,” she is giving a lecture on colonized land taken from the Navajo, Pueblo, and Comanche Nations.
Throughout her lecture, Brandzel implies that America is an inherently racist country that codifies “whiteness” into its laws. Brandzel describes whiteness as a set of rights and privileges that only benefit white, European/American men, and ostracize non-white minorities. Brandzel then alleges that whiteness is synonymous with being an American citizen.
To justify her reasoning, Brandzel cites past Supreme Court cases such as <a href="https://www.britannica.com/event/Dred-Scott-decision">Dred Scott v Sandford</a>, in which the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution did not provide citizenship for black slaves, as well as contemporary immigration restrictions from President Donald Trump, to allege that our nation restricts rights to white citizens and inflicts terrorism on minority populations.
Brandzel goes on to state that many laws today, such as Voter ID laws, continue to be weaponized against African-Americans. She alleges that these and other laws serve to make people of color feel like they do not belong as citizens in the country.
Brandzel states that it is the job of white women like herself and white people in the audience to “unpack” their privilege inherent in citizenship before it’s possible to address the systemic racism in America.
Below is a video of Professor Brandzel’s speech at Gender Talk, highlighting her lecture at Berea.

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

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

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Referencing an August 2020 incident, a <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/law-and-order/2021/04/20/graphic-video-columbus-police-release-bodycam-video-of-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbus, Ohio police officer was called over a domestic dispute involving Bryant</a>. When the officer arrived, Bryant was at the center of a fight with several other girls. Bryant then drew a knife and the responding officer ordered her to drop the weapon. Bryant then lunged at another girl with the knife, causing the officer to shoot and fatally wound her.
Despite <a href="https://twitter.com/shanermurph/status/1384703749046915074?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1384703749046915074%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.breitbart.com%2Flaw-and-order%2F2021%2F04%2F20%2Fgraphic-video-columbus-police-release-bodycam-video-of-shooting%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">evidence from the body-cam exonerating his actions</a>, Dr. Lindsay still alleges the incident is further proof of systemic racism and brutality directed specifically at black Americans. In an article for the site Truthout, she describes the officer’s actions—along with anyone who would defend them—<a href="https://truthout.org/articles/we-are-fighting-for-a-world-where-makhia-bryant-would-have-lived/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as the normalization of police violence and “erasing the long and inglorious history” of police violence against black people</a>. Dr. Lindsay further states that Bryant should still be alive while calling for the defunding and eventual abolishment of police.
“Police do not make us safer. Police do not make Black children safer. Not at school. Not on university campuses. Not at home. As the body camera footage shows, police escalate. The killing of Ma’Khia is yet another painful reminder of why a growing number of people are focusing their energies on building alternatives to policing and demanding that we defund the police. It’s a reminder why so many people are agitating to remove the police from our homes, communities, and schools — and eventually abolish policing altogether.”
Despite her defense of Byrant, Dr. Lindsay holds a paradoxical stance on the police shooting of Ashli Babbitt. In a separate article for Bitch Media, Dr. Lindsay <a href="https://www.bitchmedia.org/article/not-applying-say-her-name-to-white-supremacists" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defends the actions of the Capitol Officer who shot Babbitt</a>. Describing her as a white supremacist—and providing no evidence—who took part in an insurrection alongside a “lynch mob.”
Dr. Lindsay is referring to the January 6th Capitol Hill Riots, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/02/09/965472049/the-capitol-siege-the-arrested-and-their-stories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in which a number of protestors breached the Capitol’s Doors during certification of the 2020 Presidential Election</a>. Despite claims to the contrary, even the FBI has determined that <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/fbi-confirms-there-was-no-insurrection-on-january-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no evidence exists that any rioters coordinated to commit an “insurrection.</a>” Ashli Babbitt was shot by Officer Michael Byrd as she attempted to climb through the broken window of a closed door. A review by the DC Metropolitan Police<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/documents-ashli-babbitt-death-foia-capitol-police" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> confirmed that Babbitt was unarmed when shot</a>.

The Ohio State University

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

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

&nbsp;

In other lectures, Dr. Jeffries portrays America as a systemically racist nation. He thus defends critical race theory as necessary to understand oppression and the history of racism in the United States.

As <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro writes</a> for Breitbart News, critical race theory—also referred to as “critical theory”—is an intellectual branch of Marxism that views America and all of its institutions as being infected with white supremacy—to the point of some, including <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claiming</a> America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England.

In a speech for <a href="https://www.cityclub.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The City Club of Cleveland</a>, Dr. Jeffries <a href="https://www.cityclub.org/forums/2021/08/20/misunderstanding-critical-race-theory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lauds critical race theory as necessary to understand that racism is “systemic, deeply embedded, and produces racial inequality in our society</a>.” At one point while addressing the accusation that critical race theory brands all white people as racist, Dr. Jeffries retorts that while all white people are not born racist, all white people born in America are, in fact, racist.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Jeffries-White-people-born-in-America-are-racist.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

He further characterizes any opposition to critical race theory as a “racial reckoning” used to whip up conservative voters as “racism is the greatest organizing force” in American history. While denying that critical race theory is taught in American schools, he nonetheless advocates for students to learn it.

In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Dr. Jeffries conducts training for local school districts in Ohio. In one lesson plan for <a href="https://www.olentangy.k12.oh.us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Olentangy Local School District </a>obtained by the Professor Watchlist team, Dr. Jeffries advises teachers on how to teach critical theory and social justice movements to their students.

In Section One—titled, “Confronting Hard History: Teaching and Talking About Race and Racism in K-12 Classrooms,”—Dr. Jeffries addresses the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and instructs teachers to incorporate the movement’s tenets into their lesson plans.

According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Federalist</a> found, “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

Despite the destruction, Dr. Jeffries lauds the protests for seeking justice for systemic racism. He urges educators to incorporate this into their lesson plans when teaching about BLM. He further endorses explicitly discussing race and racial issues in the classroom as not doing so— or what Dr. Jeffries defines it as the “color-blind trap”— seeks to “erase” the experiences of people of color.

In part two of the training, Dr. Jeffries instructs teachers that America was founded in the year 1619 rather than 1776. He states that it is vital to understand the nation was founded on the double-helix of racism and capitalism.

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

Throughout each lecture, Dr. Jeffries stresses the importance of teaching about the lingering effects of racism to students today.

She additionally praises the BLM movement for its alleged efforts to combat systemic racism.

Black Lives Matter (BLM,) as an organization, was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder.

BLM’s mission is to “eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes.”

In an article for Complex, Dr. Lindsay praises BLM and its umbrella organization, the Movement for Black Lives, for their <a href="https://www.complex.com/life/2017/02/black-history-month-five-years-after-trayvon-martin-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">role in awakening Americans to the reality of “anti-black racism</a>.” In the same article, she alleges that “millions” of black Americans have been victims of systemic racism for hundreds of years, and still are today.

In a separate article for NBC News, Dr. Lindsay decries the  passage of Juneteenth, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/juneteenth-honors-black-emancipation-hope-equality-federal-holiday-doesn-t-ncna1271356" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describing it as trivial and merely a “symbolic gesture.</a>” A bill to make Juneteenth—a holiday <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/abolition-of-slavery-announced-in-texas-juneteenth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrating the announcement that slavery had ended in Texas</a>— a national holiday was passed with the <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-signs-bill-making-juneteenth-a-federal-holiday/ar-AAL92UE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bipartisan support of both houses</a> before it was signed into law in June of 2020.

Nonetheless, Dr. Lindsay writes that she can’t help but feel “contempt” towards white people for their support, critiquing the holiday as inadequate to combat “sanctioned white supremacy.”

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

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Referencing an August 2020 incident, a <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/law-and-order/2021/04/20/graphic-video-columbus-police-release-bodycam-video-of-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbus, Ohio police officer was called over a domestic dispute involving Bryant</a>. When the officer arrived, Bryant was at the center of a fight with several other girls. Bryant then drew a knife and the responding officer ordered her to drop the weapon. Bryant then lunged at another girl with the knife, causing the officer to shoot and fatally wound her.

Despite <a href="https://twitter.com/shanermurph/status/1384703749046915074?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1384703749046915074%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.breitbart.com%2Flaw-and-order%2F2021%2F04%2F20%2Fgraphic-video-columbus-police-release-bodycam-video-of-shooting%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">evidence from the body-cam exonerating his actions</a>, Dr. Lindsay still alleges the incident is further proof of systemic racism and brutality directed specifically at black Americans. In an article for the site Truthout, she describes the officer’s actions—along with anyone who would defend them—<a href="https://truthout.org/articles/we-are-fighting-for-a-world-where-makhia-bryant-would-have-lived/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as the normalization of police violence and “erasing the long and inglorious history” of police violence against black people</a>. Dr. Lindsay further states that Bryant should still be alive while calling for the defunding and eventual abolishment of police.

“Police do not make us safer. Police do not make Black children safer. Not at school. Not on university campuses. Not at home. As the body camera footage shows, police escalate. The killing of Ma’Khia is yet another painful reminder of why a growing number of people are focusing their energies on building alternatives to policing and demanding that we defund the police. It’s a reminder why so many people are agitating to remove the police from our homes, communities, and schools — and eventually abolish policing altogether.”

Despite her defense of Byrant, Dr. Lindsay holds a paradoxical stance on the police shooting of Ashli Babbitt. In a separate article for Bitch Media, Dr. Lindsay <a href="https://www.bitchmedia.org/article/not-applying-say-her-name-to-white-supremacists" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defends the actions of the Capitol Officer who shot Babbitt</a>. Describing her as a white supremacist—and providing no evidence—who took part in an insurrection alongside a “lynch mob.”

Dr. Lindsay is referring to the January 6th Capitol Hill Riots, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/02/09/965472049/the-capitol-siege-the-arrested-and-their-stories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in which a number of protestors breached the Capitol’s Doors during certification of the 2020 Presidential Election</a>. Despite claims to the contrary, even the FBI has determined that <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/fbi-confirms-there-was-no-insurrection-on-january-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no evidence exists that any rioters coordinated to commit an “insurrection.</a>” Ashli Babbitt was shot by Officer Michael Byrd as she attempted to climb through the broken window of a closed door. A review by the DC Metropolitan Police<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/documents-ashli-babbitt-death-foia-capitol-police" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> confirmed that Babbitt was unarmed when shot</a>.

<a href="https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/find-a-doctor/profiles/scott-f-leibowitz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Scott Leibowitz</a> is an <a href="https://medicine.osu.edu/departments/psychiatry-and-behavioral-health/our-people/our-faculty-h-n" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associate Professor</a> in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. Dr. Leibowitz is also the Medical Director for Behavioral Health at the THRIVE Gender and Sex Development Program at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

According to the THRIVE <a href="https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/specialties/thrive-program/gender-development" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, “Our behavioral health providers serve patients and families who are seeking gender affirming medical treatment or when gender identity development plays a significant role in their emotional and social wellbeing.”

In June 2021, Dr. Leibowitz and Co-Medical Director of the THRIVE Gender Development Program Dr. Gayathri Chelvakumar, wrote an op-ed for <a href="https://www.dispatch.com/story/opinion/columns/guest/2021/06/23/gayathri-chelvakumar-and-scott-leibowitz-bills-increase-stigma-isolation-many-transgender-youth-fee/5297432001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Columbus Dispatch</a> in response to the “national wave of anti-transgender legislation.”

They write, “As healers, we follow ethical guidelines to deliver evidence-informed treatment options that are acknowledged and well-recognized by the academic and professional societies we belong to.” They argue “the last thing that transgender youth need are lawmakers restricting their athletic participation or eliminating important beneficial medical options for them.”

Dr. Leibowitz and Dr. Chelvakumar conclude the article by saying, “We urge our lawmakers to listen to the voices of the transgender youth and families, and those who provide care to them every day and abandon this harmful attempt to further alienate LGBTQ youth.”

Dr. Leibowitz also shared his thoughts about the legislation on Twitter:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Even the mere introduction of these discriminatory legislative efforts- regardless of their ultimate success- sends a message to trans and gender diverse young people that they are “other”- and that is unacceptable.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

In March 2023, Dr. Leibowitz—along with dozens of other professors—signed a “<a href="https://www.gamcstatement.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement Regarding Laws Restricting Gender Affirming Medical Care</a>.” The statement focuses on two key points:
“First, there is consensus in the field, and amongst these signatories, that gender affirming medical care is important and beneficial for many transgender youth. Second, we do not support laws restricting access to gender affirmative care.” 
The signatories conclude their <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=21908" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>:
“We write this letter to make our position on this crystal clear: The signatories below all believe, based on the current evidence, that gender affirmative care is an important part of many transgender adolescents’ overall care, and that states and health systems should not restrict access to that care.” 
Dr. Leibowitz is also a <a href="https://www.wpath.org/member/514" target="_blank" rel="noopener">member</a> of the <a href="https://www.wpath.org/about/mission-and-vision" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH)</a>. The organization, which is funded primarily through its members, says its mission is “to promote evidence based care, education, research, public policy, and respect in transgender health.”

WPATH has a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement that reads, in part:
“WPATH affirms its commitment to diversity and inclusion as principles that enrich individuals, and society as a whole. We strive to learn from diverse perspectives, and through inclusivity, we pay homage to the fundamental principles of dignity, equality, equity, justice, and fairness.” 
In addition:
“WPATH encourages our members to champion these principles as well, and to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in their work, workplaces, and everyday lives.”

<a href="https://english.osu.edu/people/jani.4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pranav Jani</a> is an Assistant Professor of English at Ohio State University. According to his university profile, Jani is a “longtime social justice activist” who specializes in “South Asia and the South Asian diaspora, Marxist theories of nationalism and colonialism, and the intertwined legacies of colonialism, settler colonialism and slavery.”

After Hamas terrorists attacked Israel in October 2023, Jani wrote an article titled “<a href="https://pranavjani.medium.com/finding-the-courage-to-speak-93c4dbf94fb9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Finding the Courage to Speak</a>,” where he said:
“Today, political and social forces bear down on us and tell us not to speak against the genocidal war in Gaza - using the terrible death of Israeli civilians as a way to keep our mouths shut about Palestinian civilian deaths, expulsion, and starvation, today and for 75 years.” 
He then encouraged his readers to “stand up against injustice” and “speak out to the best of our ability.”

Jani acts as the faculty advisor for Ohio State’s chapter of <a href="https://activities.osu.edu/involvement/student_organizations/find_a_student_org?i=1422&amp;l=C&amp;page=6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Students for Justice in Palestine</a>. According to the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/its-not-just-students-meet-the-professors-leading-the-academic-embrace-of-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Free Beacon</a>, the group held a “day of resistance” rally where organizers defended Hamas terrorism and condemned Israel’s “apartheid system.” The group also issued a statement defending Hamas’s “right to resist” and denounced “Israel’s continued settler colonial violent murder of Palestinians.”

Jani has been a vocal supporter of the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement. In 2016, he penned an article titled, “<a href="https://mlaboycott.wordpress.com/2016/09/22/pranav-janis-statement-in-support-of-a-boycott-of-israeli-academic-institutions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement in Support of a Boycott of Israeli Academic Institutions</a>,” where he wrote:
“When you join the boycott of Israel you are responding to a call from Palestinian civil society and saying that no, we, as part of a global community that is committed to human rights, will not be silent while atrocities under a military colonial occupation go on month after month, year after year … If you refuse to see this line, you are also taking a stand: for the status quo. You are free to do so, of course. But then please don’t speak to me about your anti-racism.” 
Jani is also an <a href="https://medium.com/age-of-awareness/the-backlash-against-racial-justice-education-recent-talks-interviews-and-writing-faa2bac2f05c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advocate for critical race theory</a>. In an article titled “The Backlash Against Racial Justice Education: Recent Talks, Interviews, and Writing,” he alleges that CRT has become a “catch-all term for challenging racial justice and social justice education.” He writes:
“Under the cover of fighting ‘left-wing indoctrination,’ the White Right goes after all of the gains that educators have made in challenging curricula based on erasing racism, sexism, and oppression in U.S. history and society…”
“...Right-wing media and politicians have created a false narrative about Critical Race Theory, a field in legal studies, as their latest attempt to suppress honest dialogue and policy about diversity, equity, and inclusion in education - particularly as it relates to the topics of racism, slavery, and colonialism.” 
Jani has also called on people to “<a href="https://medium.com/age-of-awareness/organize-and-mobilize-fight-ohio-sb-83-524eac3048d0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">organize and mobilize</a>” against Ohio Senate Bill 83. According to <a href="https://www.dispatch.com/story/opinion/columns/2023/03/16/why-should-ohio-senate-bill-83-be-stopped-what-efforts-underway-ohio-state-university-free-speach/70014225007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Columbus Dispatch</a>, Senate Bill 83 would include, among other things, “an end to diversity training mandates, a ban on partnerships with Chinese universities, and mandatory American history courses.”

He believes the bill is an “attempt to roll back the changes in K-12 and higher education, and in society at large, that have taken place since the 1960s.” He attributes this to the “Donald Trump/Ron DeSantis era” which he claims is a “deep backlash against Black rebellion against police violence, trans visibility, growing unionization efforts, DEI programs, and other signs that many sections of U.S. society want to take on both structural oppression and its daily manifestations.”

Campus Reform explained how NYSUT delegates found that “‘King’s rushed implementation of the Common Core standards…[put] emphasis on testing and data than teaching and learning, and King’s failure to listen to classroom teachers on professional issues had evaporated all confidence in the commissioner’s policies and ability to lead.’”

<a href="https://www.mcw.edu/departments/pediatrics/divisions/endocrinology/people" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Susanne Cabrera</a> is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin. She is an active member of the McGee Center for Diabetes Research and the Gender Health Program Director at <a href="https://childrenswi.org/physician-directory/c/cabrera-susanne-m" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Children’s Wisconsin</a>.

According to the Children’s Wisconsin website, the <a href="https://childrenswi.org/medical-care/endocrine/gender-health-clinic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gender Health Clinic</a> is “committed to improving the lives of all children and youth in any facet of their health and well-being.” The clinic meets with children up to 16 years of age and “the most common care plans include ongoing psychological, emotional or social support.”

The website adds:
“In some cases, our services may include reversible puberty-suppressing hormone therapy, gender-affirming hormone therapy, surgical treatments, and speech/voice training.” 
However, health experts question the claim that puberty-suppressing hormone therapy is reversible.

A November 2022 <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230408212746/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/14/health/puberty-blockers-transgender.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a> article says, “There is emerging evidence of potential harm from using blockers, according to reviews of scientific papers and interviews with more than 50 doctors and academic experts around the world. The drugs suppress estrogen and testosterone, hormones that help develop the reproductive system but also affect the bones, the brain and other parts of the body.”

The article also says:
“When adolescents are using blockers, bone density growth flatlines, on average, according to an analysis commissioned by The Times of observational studies examining the effects.” 
Despite this, Children’s Wisconsin says pediatric endocrinologists with the Gender Health Clinic “may prescribe puberty-suppressing hormone therapy and gender-affirming hormone therapy (testosterone and estrogen).”

In March 2023, Cabrera—along with dozens of other professors—signed a “<a href="https://www.gamcstatement.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement Regarding Laws Restricting Gender Affirming Medical Care</a>.” The statement focuses on two key points:
“First, there is consensus in the field, and amongst these signatories, that gender affirming medical care is important and beneficial for many transgender youth. Second, we do not support laws restricting access to gender affirmative care.” 
The signatories conclude their <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=21908" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>:
“We write this letter to make our position on this crystal clear: The signatories below all believe, based on the current evidence, that gender affirmative care is an important part of many transgender adolescents’ overall care, and that states and health systems should not restrict access to that care.”

<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 &#8211; 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.&#8221;
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.

<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.

<a href="http://directory.csufresno.edu/detailsFacultyStaff.asp?ID=3249">Dr. Randa Jarrar</a> is an Associate Professor in the English Department at <a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/">Fresno State University.</a>

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.
As a Palestinian femme in 2021, I karaoke "Toxic" and flog asses and put the BDS in BDSM.

Her account berates white people as “privileged” and police as members of a “white militia”:

<a href="https://politics.princeton.edu/people/richard-falk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Richard Falk</a> is a Professor of International Law and Practice at Princeton University and a Research Associate at the Orfalea Center of Global Studies at the University of California &#8211; Santa Barbara. 
Dr. Falk has labeled Israel a racist, apartheid state that’s committing an ongoing genocide. 
The term “apartheid” refers to the legal system of <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/apartheid/Opposition-to-apartheid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racial discrimination and separation in South Africa</a> from the 1950s to 1994. He has further alleged the true identity of the 9/11 hijackers has been covered up and blamed Israel for terrorist attacks in America. 
In an article titled, “<a href="http://www.oldsite.transnational.org/Area_MiddleEast/2007/Falk_PalestineGenocide.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Slouching toward a Palestinian Holocaust</a>,” Falk compares Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians to the extermination of the Jews in the Holocaust. He claims that Israel’s actions are “morally far worse” than the genocides committed in Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur.
Further in the article, Falk defends the terrorist organization Hamas as the duly elected representative of the Palestinian people. He claims the group has renounced violence and is willing to make peace with Israel. 
During a separate interview with DemocracyNow!, Falk praised the group for its “spirit of resistance” and again claimed that Hamas seeks “peaceful, co-existence with Israel.”

&nbsp;
An Islamist terrorist group, Hamas’s charter calls for the <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews:</a>
“Israel will rise and will remain erect until Islam eliminates it as it had eliminated its predecessors.” &#8211; Hamas Charter
The organization is known to <a href="https://palwatch.org/page/18217" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deploy suicide bombers</a> and <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/05/prelude-to-war-palestinian-terrorists-fire-hundreds-of-rockets-at-israel-from-and-to-civilian-areas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fire rockets</a> that target civilian areas; Hamas is responsible for the deaths of <a href="https://www.fdd.org/in_the_news/2021/05/26/faq-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thousands of Israelis and at least 25 Americans</a>. 
Despite his views, Dr. Falk was chosen by the United Nations to serve as the Special Rapporteur on Palestinian Human Rights. From this position, he accused Israel of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in a report titled,”<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170316054753/https://www.unescwa.org/sites/www.unescwa.org/files/publications/files/israeli-practices-palestinian-people-apartheid-occupation-english.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Israeli Practices toward the Palestinian People and the Question of Apartheid.</a>” 
The report maligns Israel as a “racial state” that pursues “racial domination” and forcible displacement of the Palestinians. Falk recommends that Israel be investigated by the International Criminal Court and that international governments hold unilateral trials for Israeli officials. 
He urges businesses to boycott the state as part of the BDS campaign. BDS—short for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions—embraces the following three tenets as a feature of the campaign: 
&#8211; Boycotting all goods that originate from the state of Israel;
&#8211; Divesting all funds (private or public) that are allocated to Israel; and
&#8211; Placing sanctions exclusively on Israel. 
Following the publication of the document, Dr. Falk doubled down on his stance in an interview with The Forward, further calling for the <a href="https://forward.com/news/breaking-news/164986/richard-falk-calls-for-corporate-israel-boycott/#ixzz2APbfkSvl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boycott of any company</a> that does business in Israel:
“My main recommendation is that the businesses highlighted in the report – as well as the many other businesses that are profiting from the Israeli settlement enterprise – should be boycotted until they bring their operations into line with international human rights and humanitarian law and standards.” 
Elsewhere, Dr. Falk has <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2017/07/un-anti-israel-bias-richard-falk-pro-iran-9-11-truther-investigates-jewish-state/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disputed that Al-Qaeda is solely responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks</a>. In an interview on the site, Truth Jihad, he endorsed the idea the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/politics/special-rapporteur-for-911-truth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highjackings might have been a false-flag operation</a>. He further authored a blog post, “<a href="https://richardfalk.org/2013/04/19/a-commentary-on-the-marathon-murders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Commentary on the Marathon Murders</a>,” that blamed the Boston Bombings on the foreign policy of DC and Tel Aviv. 
Due to his views, Dr. Falk was <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2008/dec/19/israel-palestinian-territories-united-nations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned from Israel in 2008</a>. Although officially retired from teaching, he still holds the position of professor emeritus at Princeton.

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

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

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

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

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

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

In another post, she flagrantly alleges that Israel is engaged in the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and Gaza, despite the <a href="https://www.camera.org/article/methodist-staffer-demonizes-israel-reveals-ignorance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resident Arab population quadrupling since 1948</a>,
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
What we are witnessing is not the “eviction” of Palestinians from their homes. This is ethnic cleansing. This is the most basic expression of settler colonialism. This is the illegal and immoral expulsion of Palestinians with the expectation they are “accepted” elsewhere. <a href="https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8</a>
— Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor (@KeeangaYamahtta) <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta/status/1392286002950164480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May 12, 2021</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Dr. Taylor likewise alleges the United States is a brutally racist and oppressive society. In an article for the Marxist publication, Jacobin,<a href="https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/05/reparations-slavery-racism-united-states-foundation" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> she depicts racism as foundational to the United States</a>.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1846" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-19T122121.004-e1637349803441-1024x363.png" alt="" width="500" height="177" />

A frequent critic of policing, which she views as systemic racism embedded in the United States, Dr. Taylor lauds the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as a “liberation struggle.” With communist, vice-presidential candidate, and Black Panther Party member, <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angeladavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angela Davis</a>, writing the forward, Dr. Taylor’s book—<a href="https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1646-from-blacklivesmatter-to-black-liberation-expanded-second-edition">From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation</a>—she praises the movement for having “awakened a new generation of activists” that will fight for “black liberation.”

BLM was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder. After a jury acquitted Zimmerman in 2013, <a href="https://patrissecullors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrice Cullors</a> joined with <a href="https://aliciagarza.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alicia Garza</a> and <a href="https://www.opaltometi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Opal Tometi</a> to found an organization, <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as stated on its website</a>.

“....whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes.” 

BLM came to further prominence following the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/gunshots-looting-after-grand-jury-in-ferguson-case-does-not-indict-officer-in-michael-brown-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">riots in Ferguson, Missouri</a> in reaction to the acquittal of police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of robbery suspect, Michael Brown. Although later determined that Brown had attacked the officer, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hands-up-dont-shoot-makes-wapos-list-of-outlandish-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BLM was instrumental in spreading the lie</a> that Brown was shot at point-blank range with his hands raised.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Trump exposed all our fault lines due to systemic racism, class exploitation and greed. His initial election and very close re-election should act as a clarion call for us to enact sweeping and lasting social change…”

“Trump has no agenda, but his Puppet Masters do…This election exposed in a raw and unrelenting way, how many people in positions of power feel like people of color simply do not have the right to vote.”

Atchison goes on to identify herself as a “progressive [who finds] Joe Biden significantly inadequate for the task at hand.” She disagrees with any approach Biden may have to unite the nation and she believes the Democratic Party passed up “so many better qualified presidential candidates, with creative ideas…to elect a man whose platform is centrist and apolog[ist].”

<a href="https://history.princeton.edu/people/kevin-m-kruse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Kruse</a> is a Professor of History and the Director of the Center for Collaborative History at Princeton University. His faculty biography says Kruse “studies the political social, and urban/suburban history of 20th-century America.” He’s also “focused on conflicts over race, rights, and religion…[with] particular interests in segregation and the civil rights movement.”

Kruse has published several manuscripts including a 2005 book entitled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/White-Flight-Atlanta-Conservatism-Politics/dp/0691133867?asin=0691133867&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Flight: Atlanta and the Making of Modern Conservatism.</a>” Kruse introduces the novel by stating,

“This book explores the causes and course of white flight, with Atlanta serving as its vantage point…While many have assumed that white flight was little more than a literal movement of the white population, this book argues that it represented a much more important transformation in the political ideology of those involved.”

He continued,

“Because of their confrontation with the civil rights movement, white southern conservatives were forced to abandon their traditional, populist, and often starkly racist demagoguery and instead craft a new conservatism predicated on a language of rights, freedom, and individualism.”

In June 2022, <a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/double-standards-princeton-turns-blind-eye-to-plagiarism-from-woke-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Free Beacon</a> featured Kruse in an article titled “Double Standards: Princeton Turns Blind Eye to Plagiarism From Woke Professor.” According to the Beacon, “On December 6, the economic historian Phillip Magness emailed Princeton’s dean of faculty, Gene Jarrett, with evidence that [Kruse] plagiarized several passages of his 2015 book ‘One Nation Under God.’”

Magness cited passages of Kruse’s book as allegedly originating from a New York Times Article that was published in the mid-1960s. The Beacon said, “The university never replied to Magness’s email…and has not announced an investigation of Kruse.”

<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2022/08/kevin-kruse-plagiarism-allegations-academic-princeton-investigation-phillip-magness-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to the Daily Princetonian</a>, “Kruse expressed ‘surprise’ at the allegations and attributed the lack of citations in one instance to an inadvertent oversight.” Kruse also allegedly plagiarized a professor in his 2000 Cornell University doctoral thesis. The Princetonian quoted an email response from Kruse stating,

“‘While I indicated my intellectual debts to [author] Prof. Baylor else in the text, endnotes and bibliography of the dissertation, I was surprised to see that there was an instance in the introduction [where] I failed to do so properly.’”

<a href="https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2022/06/27/kevin-kruse-and-the-peak-political-plagiarism-scandal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Plagiarism Today said</a>, “Kruse is not your typical alleged plagiarist…Kruse has made a career for himself as an activist that corrects and criticizes right-wing talking points on history. He has over half a million followers on Twitter and a high-profile position at Princeton, both of which have given him clout.”

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

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

“Her research and teaching lie at the intersections of law, science, technology and society; women, gender and sexuality; reproduction, health and medicine; Islam and secularism; colonialism, postcolonialism and globality; historical anthropology and epistemology; political economy; and language, discourse and narrative.”
Larson <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/princeton-anti-capitalist-class-teaching-black-people-considered-handicapped-systemic-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made headlines</a> for reportedly teaching a course “that claims black people can be considered disabled due to the purported systemic racism they face.” Princeton’s Undergraduate Courses-Fall 2023 <a href="https://nes.princeton.edu/courses">schedule</a> lists Larson as the instructor for “The Healing Humanities: Decolonizing Trauma Studies from the Global South.” The course description says the course:
“Introduces the transdisciplinary field of trauma studies by examining visions of humanity…Reorienting healing as a decolonizing process enables students to re-politicize personal trauma as it intersects with global legacies of violence, war, racism, slavery, patriarchy, colonialism, orientalism, homophobia, ableism, capitalism and extractivism.”

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

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

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

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

Lurie spoke at the walkout in opposition to the disciplinary actions brought against student protesters:
“We demand that all Barnard College and Columbia University suspensions and charges be dismissed immediately and expunged from students’ records.”
Lurie told the <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/23/aaup-drafts-resolution-of-censure-against-shafik-administration-following-nypd-sweep/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbia Spectator</a> that the AAUP disapproved of Shafik’s response to the protesters and said:
“We want to be really clear that we are not calling for her resignation at this time. We want to work with her. We want her and her administration to turn back from the road that they’ve started down last week, and we’re really eager to partner with them in doing that.”

“President Shafik falsely claimed that the students who were arrested for protesting on April 18 posed a ‘clear and present danger to the substantial functioning of the University,’ when in fact they ‘were peaceful, offered no resistance whatsoever, and were saying what they wanted to say in a peaceful manner,’ according to the NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell. Her actions have endangered these students’ welfare, and her draconian and disproportionate punishments have endangered their futures.”
Lurie and the AAUP <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bnEhCa6mR7t_82QUf_qpGT7acudoOMIw/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">maintain</a> that Shafik’s termination is not what they desire in their latest press release:
“Unwarranted statements by members of Congress, including calls for President Shafik’s resignation, undermine the traditions of shared governance and academic freedom that have long ensured America’s educational greatness.”

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

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

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/nadra-hebouche.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nadra Hebouche</a> is an Associate Professor of Francophone Studies and French and Department Chair of French,Francophone Studies at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. Her university profile states that she researches “Francophone postcolonial literature, migrant literature, diasporic identities, [and] ecocriticism.”
Hebouche 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.”
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:”

<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'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.

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/stephanie-mcnulty.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephanie McNulty</a> is the Honorable and Mrs. John C.

McNulty’s university profile states she is a “Latin Americanist with expertise in participatory governance, gender, decentralization, and development.”

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.”\

Moss 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.”
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.”

<a href="https://uvahealth.com/findadoctor/profile/christine-m-burt-solorzano" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christine M. Burt Solorzano</a> is a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the <a href="https://www.virginia.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Virginia</a> (UVA), who described performing gender transitions on children as young as 9 years old in.
The UVA-affiliated hospital that employs Solorzano lists <a href="https://childrens.uvahealth.com/services/transgender-youth-health" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a range of procedures available to “trans, nonbinary, intersex, and asexual” children as young as 11 years old</a>. The “Transgender Youth Health Services” advertised include:
&#8211; Education about sex and contraception.
&#8211; Referrals for therapy to help manage anxiety, depression, and ongoing emotional issues.
&#8211; Puberty blockers that delay sex-related physical changes.
&#8211; Help in finding resources in the community.
&#8211; Referrals for gender-affirming surgeries and voice therapy.
The clinic requires an official diagnosis of gender dysphoria by a medical professional and consent from a parent or guardian to treat minors. However, the hospital’s definition of dysphoria is subjective; a diagnosis may only require that “a child’s sense of their gender differs from the sex assigned to them at birth.” Parents are not even required to attend initial appointments with their children.
In a lecture uncovered by The Daily Caller, <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2022/10/03/university-of-virginia-youth-gender-clinic-offers-puberty-blockers-chemical-castration-referrals-minors-undergo-breast-removal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Solorzano discusses performing “irreversible” surgeries</a> as a part of a gender transition. While claiming that many are only offered to those over 18, she states that children as young as 16 years old may receive double mastectomies. A masectomy–or “top surgery”—removes an otherwise healthy teenager&#8217;s breasts as part of the female-to-male transition.

&nbsp;
Further on, Dr. Solorzano discusses how she uses “cross-sex” hormones to block puberty in teens who transition. Acknowledging that while these drugs are not recommended for minors, she states that making a teen suffering from dysphoria undergo property is “cruel.” Dr. Solorzano believes that many teens are mature enough to make these “irreversible” decisions.

&nbsp;
Conceding that children must first begin puberty before treatment, Dr. Solorzano recalls consulting a 9-year-old girl on receiving hormones. She then claims that puberty blockers are temporary and puberty can be resumed at any time by stopping treatment.
<iframe class="wp-embedded-content" sandbox="allow-scripts" security="restricted" title="Dr. Christine Burt Solorzano" src="https://rumble.com/embed/v1jvypy/?pub=4#?secret=32N2RGvZRg" data-secret="32N2RGvZRg" width="1670" height="938" frameborder="0"></iframe>
&nbsp;
A common drug used to block puberty is called Lupron, which was <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designed to castrate sex offenders and is not approved by the FDA</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>
While available via Youtube for over eight years, the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzkf6OqNE2Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">university appears to have deleted Dr, Solorzano’s lecture following coverage by The Daily Caller as of publication.</a>

<a href="https://gened.as.virginia.edu/walsh">David Austin Walsh</a> is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia. His academic work centers on alleging active links between the far-right and conservatism over the past two centuries. Walsh <a href="https://gened.as.virginia.edu/egmt-1530-hateinnany-fascism-antifascism-and-global-far-right">teaches a course titled</a> Hateinnany: Fascism, Antifascism, and the Global Far Right.

In an attempt to tie far-right extremism to mainstream conservatism, Walsh has penned various articles attempting to connect mainstream conservatism with mass shootings. Writing for Arc Digital, he describes the <a href="https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/2019/08/05/el-paso-shooting-victim-list-names-identified-walmart-tx-texas/1918691001/">El Paso shooter’s</a> violent and bigoted ideology as <a href="https://arcdigital.media/the-el-paso-shooter-and-donald-trump-share-the-same-politics-so-why-doesnt-the-media-say-so-aff5062c26b1">identical to widely-held conservative stances</a>.

He then continued,

<a href="http://bostonreview.net/race-politics/david-walsh-fragile-patriotism-american-conservative">Expressing further disgust for conservatives</a>, he praised the 1619 Project—<a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/10/new-york-times-1619-project-distorts-history-of-slavery/">a demagogic and racially-laden</a> polemic published by the New York Times—in an article for the Boston Review. He described conservative opposition to the largely erroneous articles as being rooted in racial bigotry.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1045 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-3-e1611090371797-1024x560.png" alt="" width="580" height="317" />

David holds extreme contempt at even the idea of a conservative presidency. <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=16097">He has tweeted </a>calls to overthrow the President of the United States and to purge conservative voters in a hypothetical “de-Nazification,” similar to Germany post-WW2.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1004 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-30-at-3.29.45-PM.png" alt="" width="472" height="226" />

As a professor that has taken it upon himself to teach his students about politically right-of-center principles and individuals, it is concerning to see Walsh seamlessly intertwine conservatism with racial bigotry and extremism and then present it as mainstream amongst the right.

However, the hospital’s definition of dysphoria is subjective; a diagnosis may only require that “a child’s sense of their gender differs from the sex assigned to them at birth.” Parents are not even required to attend initial appointments with their children.

In a lecture uncovered by The Daily Caller, <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2022/10/03/university-of-virginia-youth-gender-clinic-offers-puberty-blockers-chemical-castration-referrals-minors-undergo-breast-removal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Solorzano discusses performing “irreversible” surgeries</a> as a part of a gender transition. While claiming that many are only offered to those over 18, she states that children as young as 16 years old may receive double mastectomies. A masectomy–or “top surgery”—removes an otherwise healthy teenager's breasts as part of the female-to-male transition.

&nbsp;

Further on, Dr. Solorzano discusses how she uses “cross-sex” hormones to block puberty in teens who transition. Acknowledging that while these drugs are not recommended for minors, she states that making a teen suffering from dysphoria undergo property is “cruel.” Dr. Solorzano believes that many teens are mature enough to make these “irreversible” decisions.

&nbsp;

Conceding that children must first begin puberty before treatment, Dr. Solorzano recalls consulting a 9-year-old girl on receiving hormones. She then claims that puberty blockers are temporary and puberty can be resumed at any time by stopping treatment.

A common drug used to block puberty is called Lupron, which was <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designed to castrate sex offenders and is not approved by the FDA</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>

While available via Youtube for over eight years, the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzkf6OqNE2Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">university appears to have deleted Dr, Solorzano’s lecture following coverage by The Daily Caller as of publication.</a>

Brennhofer’s personal Twitter account characterizes her as the “<a href="https://twitter.com/sbrennhofer?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anti-diet dietitian</a>.” 
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2910" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Screenshot-2023-03-27-at-2.14.15-PM.png" alt="" width="592" height="296" />
In exclusive audio obtained by Campus Reform, Stephanie Brennhofer <a href="https://twitter.com/sbrennhofer?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">urges students to stop using the word “fat”</a> as it is “inherently fatphobic” and “reinforces that thin is good.” 

Her comments were delivered during a guest lecture—titled, “Diet Culture &amp; Weight Stigma”—in an “Exercise and Nutrition Medicine” course:
“The word ‘fat’ is inherently fatphobic because it signals to fat people, and really everybody uses that, right? So if you don’t want to use it, and use it, it’s bad, and it reinforces that thin is good and that’s not what we want to do.    
Brennhofer claims the term “fat” only indicates somebody’s body shape and “it’s not a negative descriptor:” 
“All fat does is describe somebody’s body shape and it’s not a negative descriptor. And so the body positivity community has really tried to like reclaim [fat] as their own. And its generally preferred over the medical terms of ‘overweight’ and ‘obese’ because those carry medical connotations.” 
Continuing, she urges the class to stop labeling foods “good or bad” and “guilting people” who eat them. Brennhofer claims that a person’s weight is based on their genetics and there is nothing dietitians can do to get their patients to lose weight;   
“So, you know, [there’s] a lot of myths. You know, this whole idea that weight is mainly biological, right? Is, like, that’s going to change our weight. Our body is just kind of at this point based on genetic factors. I mean, other things do play a role, but it’s mainly genetics.” 
Brennhofer tells students that it's “unethical” to tell patients how to lose weight because they have very little control over their size. She even claims there are negative health effects for patients that do lose weight:
“And the data that we have show [sic] that when people gain and lose mass amounts of weight, that actually increases the risk of other very serious health outcomes like cancer and cardiovascular disease.”

Liz Cheney is a <a href="https://news.virginia.edu/content/liz-cheney-serve-professor-practice-uva-center-politics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of Practice</a> at the University of Virginia. She is also the daughter of former Vice-President Dick Cheney (2001-2008). 

Cheney’s most controversial moments have come as one of the members of the January 6th Select Committee. Formed to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/30/politics/republicans-january-6-select-committee-vote/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investigate the Capitol protests of January 2021</a>, Cheney and the committee sought to portray the mostly peaceful protests <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/06/09/liz-cheney-jan-6-committee-full-statement-00038730" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as a directed attack on the Capitol and even democracy itself</a>. 

As Vice-Chair, Cheney had exclusive access to over forty-thousand hours of footage and still photos from the riots and wielded immense subpoena power. 

When former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon defied the committee's subpoena, <a href="https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2021/1015/Bannon-defies-Jan.-6-subpoena-cites-Trump-executive-privilege" target="_blank" rel="noopener">citing executive privilege</a>, Cheney voted to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211026010223/https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/21/politics/house-republicans-vote-yes-steve-bannon-contempt-of-congress/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hold him in contempt of Congress</a>. While appeals are still ongoing, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/steve-bannons-prison-sentence-delayed-appeal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bannon could face four months in jail</a>. 

When Peter Navarro—Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy under President Trump—defied the committee's subpoenas, Cheney <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/04/06/house-votes-scavino-navarro-contempt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted to hold him in Contempt of Congress</a> and referred Navarro to the Department of Justice for prosecution. Navarro was allegedly <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/06/03/report-peter-navarro-handcuffed-at-airport-and-frogmarched-to-the-courthouse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dragged off a plane by FBI agents</a> at the time of his arrest and “frog marched” into a jail cell where he <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/courts/with-no-legal-representation-navarro-pleads-for-extension-in-contempt-of-congress-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spent 24 hours without legal counsel or communications</a>. 

After 41,000 hours of <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/media/3866648-mccarthy-gives-fox-news-tucker-carlson-access-to-jan-6-capitol-surveillance-footage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Capitol footage was released to Tucker Carlson</a>, Cheney and the other committee members were scrutinized for selectively editing and withholding key evidence. Upon review, Tucker Carlson’s team determined that <a href="https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2023/03/08/too-bad-to-check-did-the-j6-committee-add-sound-effects-to-surveillance-videos-n535600" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sound effects were added to the footage</a> to make the protest seem more chaotic and violent. 

In one brief clip released by Cheney and the January 6th Committee, Senator Josh Hawley appears to be <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9kUmwRDjyI&amp;ab_channel=NBCNews" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fleeing the protests that Committee members accused him of instigating</a>. The full footage <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2023/03/06/tucker_carlson_january_6th_committee_lied_about_josh_hawley_running_away.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">withheld by the Committee</a> reveals dozens of congressmen were evacuated by the capitol police, and Hawley was jogging behind. 

While prominent officials claimed that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was murdered by protestors, released footage shows Sicknick—whose death was later determined to be caused by stroke—<a href="https://nypost.com/2023/03/06/footage-shows-capitol-cop-brian-sicknick-uninjured-on-jan-6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unharmed and directing protestors in the Capitol</a>. Electric bookmarks indicate Vice-Chair Cheney’s and the Committee reviewed the footage but <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/tucker-carlson-releases-exclusive-jan-6-footage-says-politicians-media-lied-about-sicknick-qanon-shaman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chose not to release it. </a>

 As Vice-President of the Committee, Cheney had access to the exculpatory footage of Jacob Chansley—nicknamed the “Q-Shaman”— but refused to release it. Chansley was <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/17/qanon-shaman-jacob-chansley-sentence-522807" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested and pled guilty to obstructing an official proceeding</a>. He is currently serving up to 41 months in prison. The footage shows Chansley being <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/tucker-carlson-releases-exclusive-jan-6-footage-says-politicians-media-lied-about-sicknick-qanon-shaman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">led around the capitol by police, who even opened doors for him</a>. Chansley’s lawyer claims the footage was <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/former-lawyer-qanon-shaman-says-jan-6-footage-wasnt-shown-client-calls-prison-sentence-tragedy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">withheld from the defense</a>. He had not even seen the footage until it was released after the trial concluded. 

Despite Cheney’s relentless pursuit of defendants, critics have noted her reluctance to subpoena Ray Epps, who is infamous for telling <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S66NWcSccwE&amp;ab_channel=ForbesBreakingNews" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protestors to “go into Capitol”</a>, and was present among the rioters who first breached the barricades.  

Despite his actions, Cheney has vocally defended Epps. When pressed by a student at the University of Chicago why the “insurrectionist” Epps hadn’t been arrested, the Vice-Chair <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/congress/liz-cheney-asked-about-prosecuting-ray-epps-jan-6-role-says-doj-makes-decision" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denounced the inquiry as a “conspiracy theory.”</a> 

Epps has long been <a href="https://www.revolver.news/2021/10/meet-ray-epps-the-fed-protected-provocateur-who-appears-to-have-led-the-very-first-1-6-attack-on-the-u-s-capitol/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspected of being a federal informant</a>, in part for remaining free despite being filmed agitating protestors to commit violence at the Capitol. <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-tucker-carlson-reveals-ray-epps-lied-in-sworn-testimony-to-jan-6-committee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Epps lied under oath about his whereabouts on January 6th</a>, but Cheney and the Committee made no attempts to refer Epps for prosecution. 

Cheney’s initial foray into politics came in 2013 when she primaried Wyoming Senator Mike Enzi. She spent most of her childhood and adult life outside of the state and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220519222115/https://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/17/us/politics/liz-cheney-to-challenge-senator-michael-enzi-of-wyoming.html">only moved to Jackson Hole in 2012</a>. Media outlets deemed Cheney a “<a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/onpolitics/2013/07/22/cheney-senate-wyoming-enzi-carpetbagger/2575197/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">carpetbagger</a>” after her campaign announcement <a href="https://theintercept.com/2021/05/12/liz-cheney-republican-house-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">geotagged her location in Virginia</a>, her primary residence at the time.    

Although eventually withdrawing, Cheney <a href="https://rollcall.com/2016/11/08/liz-cheney-wins-wyoming-house-seat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">successfully ran for Wyoming’s Lone House Seat in 2016</a>, where she served from 2016-2022 before <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/16/wyoming-alaska-primary-results-2022-00052216" target="_blank" rel="noopener">losing the primary by nearly 40 points</a> to challenger Harriet Hageman. 

While in Congress, Cheney took no public salary. Despite this, her personal wealth<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/08/11/records-liz-cheneys-net-worth-ballooned-much-600-percent-during-her-time-office/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> ballooned by over 600%</a>. Entering office with roughly $7 million dollars in assets, Cheney left six years later with an estimated net worth of $44 million. 

Much of Cheney’s <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/personal-finances/liz-cheney/net-worth?cid=N00035504" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wealth is tied to her stake in the law firm Latham &amp; Watkins</a>. Her husband, <a href="https://www.lw.com/people/PhilipJPerry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philip J. Perry</a>, has served as a partner since she first took office. The firm advised and lobbied on behalf of technology companies with direct connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). 

The State Department declared one company, Tencent, a “tool of the Chinese government” <a href="https://qz.com/1708662/chinese-tech-giants-tools-of-the-communist-party-us-official" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over surveillance and security concerns</a>.  Latham &amp; Watkins further <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/firms/summary?cycle=2004&amp;id=D000000536&amp;t0-search=exe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lobbied on behalf of Exelon</a>, a corporation that <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052970204358004577031241071779010" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aids the Chinese government’s nuclear program. </a>

While her <a href="https://www.lw.com/en/news/2020/11/latham-advises-tencent-music-on-investment-in-wave" target="_blank" rel="noopener">husband’s firm advised CCP companies</a>, Cheney <a href="https://www.congress.gov/member/liz-cheney/C001109?q=%7B%22subject%22%3A%22Armed+Forces+and+National+Security%22%7D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">handled classified information</a> regarding national security while serving on the Armed Services Committee. 

Upon Cheney’s acceptance of her position as Professor of Practice at the University, Virginia President Jim Ryan <a href="https://news.virginia.edu/content/liz-cheney-serve-professor-practice-uva-center-politics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated that he was “delighted</a> [that] students will have an incredible opportunity to learn from Liz Cheney, who has fiercely defended democracy as part of a distinguished career.” Director of the Center for Politics, Larry Sabato, called Cheney a “model of political courage and leadership.” Cheney’s position will run through the end of the Fall 2023 semester, with an option to renew upon the conclusion of the academic year.

<a href="https://globalstudies.as.virginia.edu/people/profile/trf6k" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tessa Farmer</a> is an Associate Professor in the Global Studies Program and Anthropology Department at the University of Virginia.

After the terrorist group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, Farmer offered extra credit to students who attended a discussion about how to “stand in solidarity with Palestinians resisting occupation.”

According to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/college-professor-offers-extra-credit-rally-resisting-israeli-occupation-sparking-state-ag-probe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News Digital</a>, Farmer sent a message to students on October 12 to promote an event hosted by Students for Justice in Palestine. The event was advertised as a “[teach-in] and demonstration about the current situation in Gaza, the events and history that led to this moment, and a discussion about how we can [stand] in solidarity with Palestinians resisting occupation.”

Farmer said students could receive extra credit by attending “an applicable event” that “relates to class conversations/themes” and writing a 250-word reflection about the event in relation to a course reading.

She sent a subsequent message to students which was shared with Fox News Digital by a University of Virginia spokesperson. Farmer said the goal “is for students to attend events around grounds that are applicable to the global studies course topics, recognizing that important issues will have a diversity of perspectives.”
“By posting the information provided by the organizers about the event that is happening today, I did not intend to imply that there is a link between endorsing the viewpoint of the organization and receiving extra credit for the course. In attending any event, I encourage you to critically engage with the content presented and to form your own opinion.” 
However, this is not the first time Farmer has <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Tessa_Farmer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shown support</a> for Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). In 2016, Fordham University blocked the formation of a Fordham SJP chapter “based on the reported behavior of other [SJP] chapters on other campuses.” Fordham decided, “the establishment of a local branch could be ‘polarizing’ and pose a safety concern to students and faculty.”

Farmer signed a letter authored by <a href="https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jewish Voice for Peace</a>—the “largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionest organization in the world”—that condemned the university’s decision to block the establishment of an SJP chapter. The <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/548748b1e4b083fc03ebf70e/t/58c1994ba5790ae223fbbf81/1489082707248/JVP+letter+to+Fordham+University.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signatories wrote</a>,
“We demand that you immediately rescind the rejection of SJP as a student group on campus, apologize to the students affected by this harmful decision, and reaffirm Fordham’s commitment to free speech and academic freedom.” 
In April 2017, four students sued Fordham University and a New York court annulled the university’s decision and required Fordham to recognize SJP as a club in August 2019.

Farmer has also shown support for the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement. In 2014, she <a href="https://anthroboycott.wordpress.com/the-statement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed a resolution</a> encouraging the American Anthropological Association (AAA) to boycott Israeli academic institutions. The resolution accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing, colonization, discrimination, and military occupation” and the signatories stated:
“We pledge not to collaborate on projects and events involving Israeli academic institutions, not to teach at or attend conferences and other events at such institutions, and not to publish in academic journals based in Israel.”

Quoting Carson, The Fix said: 
“‘Given today’s bitter partisan divide and extremist culture wars, it comes as no surprise that Shapiro’s track quickly found a devoted following. But his racist, anti-rap rap lyrics ultimately repeat the same tired charges right-wing politicians have used against hip-hop since its birth over 50 years ago.’”
Carson was also quoted as saying, “‘I would love to believe that racist, sexist, white male grievance rap isn’t where the zeitgeist is in America. But Ben Shapiro and his conservative followers are betting that it is — at least for a brief moment.’”

Professor Kenneth L. Storey is a former professor of Sociology at the University of Tampa. Professor Storey made headlines after tweeting out a number of hateful tweets indicating that the devastating Hurricane Harvey in Florida was perhaps "karma" for those that voted for President Donald Trump. The full quote reads, "I don't believe in instant Karma but this kinda feels like it for Texas. Hopefully this will help them realize the GOP doesn't care about them." After his Tweets received media attention, Professor Storey was fired by the University of Tampa.

<a href="https://www.ut.edu/directory/deneault-ethan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of Physics Ethan Deneault</a> is currently on administrative leave. As of publication, he is still listed as an employee on The University of Tampa website.

On February 1, 2024, <a href="https://www.wfla.com/news/hillsborough-county/university-of-tampa-professor-charged-with-recording-sex-acts-while-watching-child-porn-affidavit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Channel 8 News reported</a>, “[Deneault] was arrested and charged last month after detectives found videos of him watching and pleasuring himself to child pornography, according to an affidavit. Several videos were discovered of Deneault alongside his partner at the time, standing at the edge of a bed with a pair of young girl’s underwear [where the two] set up a camera to film themselves performing sex acts while watching the videos.”

Channel 8 News continued, “The affidavit said Deneault was viewing the child sex abuse material on his laptop, as a woman in the video was abusing a 9-year-old girl. As the couple watched the video, Deneault’s partner would direct him on what to do with the underwear.”

A report from <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/ut-professor-accused-child-sex-215142914.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAL9CRP9QWtQ6fUdmMVkUDCDsmACTiJZfsvKEn7tM3EElpPVg2ujZ0jWf6e2EdQ8PjVmF0QkjRW9xCpgHVu9dXctOEugxBwZhjYAlcVIkkPs_qYkGc-TDRJXnnYfvV5O0iEMmM76sP69dr1S17TXMOtPilBt_LeSXBAJEaM1h9eiw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yahoo! News</a> revealed that Deneault fled the state of Georgia and is now fighting extradition to avoid sex crime charges in the state. The source said, “The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office was alerted to a fugitive warrant from Georgia’s Bureau of Investigations and made the arrest on January 12, just four days before the start of the semester.”

An investigation into Deneault started in May 2023 after an anonymous tip was received by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. WSB-TV 2 said, “A forensic search of electronic devices showed Deneault had been in Butts County, Georgia, in January 2023 when the offenses occurred.” The source published a statement from an unnamed university spokesperson:
“The University is aware that Ethan Deneault … was taken into custody by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. Deneault has been placed on administrative leave pending additional information about his arrest. As such he is not teaching for the spring term and is not present on campus.” 
Deneault is set to appear before a Florida judge on April 16, 2024. He could potentially be released from Hillsborough County custody if the judge fails to sign the fugitive warrant.

<a href="https://www.umb.edu/academics/cla/faculty/ester_shapiro">Ester Shapiro</a> is an associate professor of Psychology in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Massachusetts - Boston. <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=15874">Shapiro launched into a tirade against conservatives</a> during a guest lecture, accusing them of being Nazis and stating that America “baked white supremacy into the Constitution.” She stated that conservatives witnessed everything from a rebirth of fascism, to armed conservatives showing up at polls to intimidate voters.

Objecting to the professor’s remarks about children being held in cages at the border, a student tried to interject that human trafficking was a major issue that no one was talking about. Shapiro immediately cut her off and accused President Donald Trump of bragging about having sex with his daughter Ivanka.

<a href="https://www.umb.edu/directory/chrisbobel/" rel="noopener">Chris Bobel</a> is a Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Massachusetts-Boston. Her areas of expertise include “Critical Menstruation Studies,” “Body Studies” and “Critical Trauma Studies.”

Bobel’s profile says she spent nearly 20 years in the field of critical menstruation studies. In 2020, she edited and co-authored “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Palgrave-Handbook-Critical-Menstruation-Studies-ebook/dp/B08DMKGDK7/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+palgrave+handbook+of+critical+menstruation+studies&amp;qid=1687980465&amp;sprefix=the+palgrave%2Caps%2C219&amp;sr=8-1" rel="noopener">The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Menstruation Studies</a>.” In her chapter titled, “Introduction: Menstruation as Lens—Menstruation as Opportunity,” Bobel wrote:

“Similar to critical race studies or critical gender studies, critical menstruation studies is premised upon menstruation as a category of analysis: asking how systems of power and knowledge are built upon its understanding, and furthermore, who benefits from these social constructions.”

In February 2023, Bobel was featured in the <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=21348" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a> article “‘Menstrual Equity Summit’ held at Northeastern University.” According to the Reform, Bobel said she was “neither advocating nor discouraging free bleeding. The change I promote is [a] movement toward self-determination…I use ‘menstruating in public’ symbolically, actually. The message here is one of challenging menstrual stigma.”

The <a href="https://youtu.be/-SXC7LTn5tg" rel="noopener">recording</a> of the Summit can be viewed online.

During the Summit, Bobel asked the audience, “In our movement work, are we too concerned with respectability politics?”

She also said she wondered if the “menstrual activism movement” was “pursuing a Band-Aid approach” and (sarcastically) asked the audience to imagine Black Lives Matter holding workshops to train people of color to politely interact with the police.

<a href="https://www.duq.edu/academics/faculty/derek-hook" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Derek Hook</a> is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at <a href="https://www.duq.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Duquesne University</a> in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. During a lecture for the <a href="https://www.aapcsw.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Association for Psychoanalysis in Clinical Social Work</a> (AAPCSW), Dr. Hook <a href="https://twitter.com/MythinformedMKE/status/1430623830226186242" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> that it’s ethical for white people to die in order to atone for apartheid in South Africa.
<a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/apartheid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apartheid rule consisted of a series of discriminatory laws </a>enforced along racial lines against black South Africans by the ruling white minority. It is widely considered to have ended with the election of dissident Nelson Mandela as President of South Africa in 1994. The <a href="https://spectator.org/south-africa-covid-lockdowns-civil-unrest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nation has since been plagued with economic crises, endemic poverty, and social unrest</a>.
Many white South Africans, also known as “Boers,” have suffered what are known as “farm attacks.” Victims believe <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/how-a-survivor-of-a-south-african-white-farm-murder-is-fighting-back" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the attacks are conducted with prejudice and that assailants are overlooked by the South African government</a>. This suspicion is seemingly validated by a recent report demonstrating that <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5534449/South-Africas-white-farmers-likely-killed-police.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white farmers are the victims of murders at far higher rates than the rest of the country’s population.</a> The violence is so pronounced that nations like the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210107020520/https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1032454567152246785" target="_blank" rel="noopener">United States</a> and <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-43403408" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Australia</a> have offered aid to farmers suffering from the violence.
Despite denials of ongoing persecution, the ruling government continues to exacerbate the crises in the country. In 2018, the <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/south-african-government-begins-seizing-land-white-farmers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">South African government amended its constitution to allow for the forcible confiscation of property from white farmers without compensation</a>. Members of parliament have lauded the government’s policy as “<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5534449/South-Africas-white-farmers-likely-killed-police.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cutting the throat of whiteness</a>.”
In a video lecture for the AAPCSW—and captured by Twitter user, Mythinformed MKE—Dr. Hook can be heard <a href="https://twitter.com/MythinformedMKE/status/1430623830226186242" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advocating for the end of whiteness in South Africa</a> in a similar fashion. The video begins with Dr. Hook reading a quote questioning whether white people can ever be integrated into the country’s black majority. He states, “the only way for white people to become part of Africa is to not exist as white people anymore”.
He continues, “the goal has to be to dismantle white culture and ultimately white people themselves.” Dr. Hook further states the “death of white people” is necessary for integration to be successful;

After finishing, Dr. Hook argues there is something “ethical” about the passage he just read.
Dr. Hook further advocates for a “symbolic extinction” of white people to be achieved by the “castration of whiteness.”
The full remarks may be listened to below.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Professor of Psychology at Duquesne University Derek Hook, defends the quote “white people should commit suicide as an ethical act” as an “opportunity” to “castrate whiteness”.
This is part of an “anti-racist” discussion on “nice white therapists” held by AAPCSW. <a href="https://t.co/IL839IjUCV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pic.twitter.com/IL839IjUCV</a>
— Mythinformed MKE (@MythinformedMKE) <a href="https://twitter.com/MythinformedMKE/status/1430623830226186242?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">August 25, 2021</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
Much of Dr. Hook’s work surrounds the study of the term “whiteness.” In one paper, <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/s41282-020-00178-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he comments that professor Robin DiAngelo’s concept of “white fragility&#8221; does not go far enough</a>, as it is insufficiently “destabilizing” to whiteness in post-apartheid South Africa.
Dr. DiAngelo’s concept of white fragility accuses all white Americans of internalizing white supremacy. White Americans—according to DiAngelo—will therefore work to maintain their racism and preserve racist structures and the benefits they confer. Dr. DiAngelo’s full profile <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/robindiangelo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">may be viewed on TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist</a>.
The clip is a portion of Dr. Hook’s lecture in the “anti-racist” discussion on “nice white therapists”  that occurred during an AAPCSW conference. Following the publication of Dr. Hook’s remarks, the <a href="https://twitter.com/MythinformedMKE/status/1430946358287024129" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AAPCSW proceeded to remove all videos of the conference </a>from their Youtube page.
The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Hook for comment but have not received a response by the time of publication.
Students and Parents may contact the <a href="https://www.duq.edu/academics/schools/liberal-arts/academics/departments-and-centers/psychology" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Psychology at Duquesne University</a> at (412) 396-6520 or at <a href="mailto:psychology@duq.edu">psychology@duq.edu</a>.
&nbsp;
Update &#8211; The Professor Watchlist Team has received a response to our inquiry from Gabriel Welsch, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Duquesne. In a statement, the University has described our documentation of Dr. Hook’s statements as “ridiculous” and “reckless.” They further claim that Dr. Hook is a “highly respected expert” who does not advocate for violence. The University then accuses the Professor Watchlist team of taking Dr. Hook’s lecture out of context—despite the full context of the audio clip being included in the profile—to, “falsely illustrate advocacy for extreme behavior.”
The full text of the University’s response is provided below:
“The statement attributed to Professor Hook is ridiculous and reckless. He did not make a statement advocating anything like what was suggested. In fact, he said that the statement in question was &#8220;crazy.&#8221;   
Professor Hook also said that the provocateur who used this example was wrong in suggesting any such radical action. The words being circulated were simply lifted out of context to distort the actual comments. Saying that Professor Hook called for anything like the words in question is false.   
Duquesne University is a Catholic institution that condemns any suggestion that suicide is to be advocated or endorsed in any form.   
Professor Hook&#8217;s presentation was part of an invited online talk Professor Hook gave to the Baltimore-based American Association for Psychoanalysis in Clinical Social Work (AAPCSW), an international association for psychoanalytic social workers. It happened in June. While some of the content in the recording certainly contained troubling elements if taken alone, the full discussion only references the work of another person (Terblanche Delport, as the slides indicate) and the extreme proposition in the context of post-Apartheid South Africa.   
Professor Hook did not advocate taking the extreme measures Delport described. Professor Hook is not advocating, nor does he advocate violence. His effort to understand how extreme thought is developed is the point of the presentation.   
Professor Hook&#8217;s expertise is in psychoanalysis, and his work considers psychoanalytic dimensions of racism in America and South Africa. He is a highly respected expert, and it is disappointing that his efforts to understand and challenge ideas that are admittedly extreme are being shared out of context to falsely illustrate an advocacy for extreme behavior.  
Thank you for your inquiry.
Gabe”

<a href="https://www.duq.edu/academics/faculty/derek-hook" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Derek Hook</a> is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at <a href="https://www.duq.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Duquesne University</a> in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. During a lecture for the <a href="https://www.aapcsw.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Association for Psychoanalysis in Clinical Social Work</a> (AAPCSW), Dr. Hook <a href="https://twitter.com/MythinformedMKE/status/1430623830226186242" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> that it’s ethical for white people to die in order to atone for apartheid in South Africa.

<a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/apartheid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apartheid rule consisted of a series of discriminatory laws </a>enforced along racial lines against black South Africans by the ruling white minority. It is widely considered to have ended with the election of dissident Nelson Mandela as President of South Africa in 1994. The <a href="https://spectator.org/south-africa-covid-lockdowns-civil-unrest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nation has since been plagued with economic crises, endemic poverty, and social unrest</a>.

Many white South Africans, also known as “Boers,” have suffered what are known as “farm attacks.” Victims believe <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/how-a-survivor-of-a-south-african-white-farm-murder-is-fighting-back" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the attacks are conducted with prejudice and that assailants are overlooked by the South African government</a>. This suspicion is seemingly validated by a recent report demonstrating that <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5534449/South-Africas-white-farmers-likely-killed-police.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white farmers are the victims of murders at far higher rates than the rest of the country’s population.</a> The violence is so pronounced that nations like the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210107020520/https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1032454567152246785" target="_blank" rel="noopener">United States</a> and <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-43403408" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Australia</a> have offered aid to farmers suffering from the violence.

Despite denials of ongoing persecution, the ruling government continues to exacerbate the crises in the country. In 2018, the <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/south-african-government-begins-seizing-land-white-farmers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">South African government amended its constitution to allow for the forcible confiscation of property from white farmers without compensation</a>. Members of parliament have lauded the government’s policy as “<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5534449/South-Africas-white-farmers-likely-killed-police.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cutting the throat of whiteness</a>.”

In a video lecture for the AAPCSW—and captured by Twitter user, Mythinformed MKE—Dr. Hook can be heard <a href="https://twitter.com/MythinformedMKE/status/1430623830226186242" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advocating for the end of whiteness in South Africa</a> in a similar fashion. The video begins with Dr. Hook reading a quote questioning whether white people can ever be integrated into the country’s black majority. He states, “the only way for white people to become part of Africa is to not exist as white people anymore”.

He continues, “the goal has to be to dismantle white culture and ultimately white people themselves.” Dr. Hook further states the “death of white people” is necessary for integration to be successful;

After finishing, Dr. Hook argues there is something “ethical” about the passage he just read.

Dr. Hook further advocates for a “symbolic extinction” of white people to be achieved by the “castration of whiteness.”

Much of Dr. Hook’s work surrounds the study of the term “whiteness.” In one paper, <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/s41282-020-00178-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he comments that professor Robin DiAngelo’s concept of “white fragility'' does not go far enough</a>, as it is insufficiently “destabilizing” to whiteness in post-apartheid South Africa.

Dr. DiAngelo’s concept of white fragility accuses all white Americans of internalizing white supremacy. White Americans—according to DiAngelo—will therefore work to maintain their racism and preserve racist structures and the benefits they confer. Dr. DiAngelo’s full profile <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/robindiangelo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">may be viewed on TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist</a>.

The clip is a portion of Dr. Hook’s lecture in the “anti-racist” discussion on “nice white therapists”  that occurred during an AAPCSW conference. Following the publication of Dr. Hook’s remarks, the <a href="https://twitter.com/MythinformedMKE/status/1430946358287024129" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AAPCSW proceeded to remove all videos of the conference </a>from their Youtube page.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Hook for comment but have not received a response by the time of publication.

Update - The Professor Watchlist Team has received a response to our inquiry from Gabriel Welsch, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Duquesne. In a statement, the University has described our documentation of Dr. Hook’s statements as “ridiculous” and “reckless.” They further claim that Dr. Hook is a “highly respected expert” who does not advocate for violence. The University then accuses the Professor Watchlist team of taking Dr. Hook’s lecture out of context—despite the full context of the audio clip being included in the profile—to, “falsely illustrate advocacy for extreme behavior.”

The full text of the University’s response is provided below:

“The statement attributed to Professor Hook is ridiculous and reckless. He did not make a statement advocating anything like what was suggested. In fact, he said that the statement in question was "crazy."   

Professor Hook also said that the provocateur who used this example was wrong in suggesting any such radical action. The words being circulated were simply lifted out of context to distort the actual comments. Saying that Professor Hook called for anything like the words in question is false.   

Duquesne University is a Catholic institution that condemns any suggestion that suicide is to be advocated or endorsed in any form.   

Professor Hook's presentation was part of an invited online talk Professor Hook gave to the Baltimore-based American Association for Psychoanalysis in Clinical Social Work (AAPCSW), an international association for psychoanalytic social workers. It happened in June. While some of the content in the recording certainly contained troubling elements if taken alone, the full discussion only references the work of another person (Terblanche Delport, as the slides indicate) and the extreme proposition in the context of post-Apartheid South Africa.   

Professor Hook did not advocate taking the extreme measures Delport described. Professor Hook is not advocating, nor does he advocate violence. His effort to understand how extreme thought is developed is the point of the presentation.   

Professor Hook's expertise is in psychoanalysis, and his work considers psychoanalytic dimensions of racism in America and South Africa. He is a highly respected expert, and it is disappointing that his efforts to understand and challenge ideas that are admittedly extreme are being shared out of context to falsely illustrate an advocacy for extreme behavior.  

Thank you for your inquiry.

Gabe”
