*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 &#8220;true American&#8221;. This is similar to a class taught by Christopher Knap, a fellow CSULB professor that assigned a homework assignment implying Trump is homophobic/sexist.

California State University - Long Beach

<a href="https://www.csulb.edu/office-of-the-president/president/about">Dr. Jane Close Conoley</a>, is the current President of California State University - Long Beach. In an op-ed from 2014, Conoley stated that if you are “light-skinned” you have “significant unearned privilege.” Moreover, these privileged individuals show distrust and “lower expectations of behavior” of those with another skin color.

<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.’”

Fresno State University

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

Maischak called for the assassination of then-President Donald Trump via hanging in now-deleted tweets on his personal Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/LMaischak">account</a> in February of 2017.

<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170409043955if_/https://twitter.com/LarsMaischak/status/833443673220145152"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1313" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-22-at-3.00.24-PM.png" alt="" width="400" height="175" /></a>

According to a <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/04/07/professor-trump-must-hang-republicans-should-be-executed-for-each-immigrant-deported/">Daily Caller </a>report, Maischak additionally calls for an “ethnic cleansing” of Republicans.

“#TheResistance #ethniccleansing Justice = The execution of two Republicans for each deported immigrant.” - Lars Maischak

Once Maischak’s tweets were published by outlets like the <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/04/07/professor-trump-must-hang-republicans-should-be-executed-for-each-immigrant-deported/">Daily Caller</a> and <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/local/2017/04/13/fresno-state-fbi-secret-service-probing-history-instructor-over-trump-must-hang-tweet/">Breitbart</a>, Maischak offered an initial apology for his remarks. In a written statement to the <a href="https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article144293174.html">Fresno Bee</a>, Maischak asks for forgiveness and states, “It was never my intent to harm anyone, nor to encourage others to harm anyone.”

According to <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/08/07/after-anti-trump-tweets-fresno-state-removes-adjunct-professor-teaching-position">Inside Higher Ed</a>, Maischak’s classes were canceled by the university before he was later removed from his position following his remarks about President Trump. However, as of March 2021, Fresno State University still <a href="https://www.fresnostate.edu/socialsciences/historydept/faculty/faculty-lmaischak.html">lists</a> Maischak as a Lecturer in the History department. In addition, his personal Twitter account still <a href="https://twitter.com/LMaischak">contains</a> tweets calling for former president Donald Trump to be hanged, and tweets referring to conservatives as “fascists” that must face “repression” that have not been removed or recanted.

<a href="https://twitter.com/LMaischak/status/1346926703105359872"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1314" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-22-at-3.06.25-PM.png" alt="" width="450" height="248" /></a>

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

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.”

In one tweet about the former First Lady, she called Barbara Bush an “amazing racist” who “raised a war criminal.” In another tweet, she claimed to be “happy the witch is dead.”

After experiencing blowback for her remarks, Dr. Jarrar taunted her followers by claiming that she is a tenured professor who makes $100,000 a year and will never be fired.

When the university was asked to comment, <a href="http://www.fresnostatenews.com/2018/04/24/president-joseph-i-castro-letter-on-conclusion-of-review-regarding-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Castro stated</a>, “We share the deep concerns expressed by others over the personal comments made today by Professor Randa Jarrar, a professor in the English Department at Fresno State. Her statements were made as a private citizen, not as a representative of Fresno State.”

Dr. Jarrar faced no repercussions and returned to her teaching duties soon-there-after.

In the midst of the controversy, Dr. Jarrar wrote, “If you really wanna reach me, here’s my number ok?”, before <a href="https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/tempe/2018/04/19/fresno-state-professor-randa-jarrar-prank-floods-asu-hotline-barbara-bush/532486002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posting the landline of the ASU crisis line, causing the center to become inundated with calls</a>.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Jarrar for comment but has not received a reply by the time of publication.

<a href="https://barnard.edu/profiles/ben-philippe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Ben Philippe</a> is a term Assistant Professor in the Department of English and Film Studies at <a href="https://barnard.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barnard College</a>. In a broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Mr. Philippe described his fantasy in which he writes about enthusiastically participating in a race war.
Mr. Philippe was being interviewed about his latest book, <a href="http://benphilippe.com/books/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Sure I’ll Be Your Black Friend.</a>” During the segment, CBC host Ms. Talia Schlanger reads aloud a <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/barnard-college-instructor-discusses-blowing-up-and-gassing-whites-in-coming-race-war/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">portion of the book in which Mr. Philippe writes about gassing and blowing up his white friends</a>.
The clip begins with Ms. Schlanger describing how she was “shocked” and “disturbed” by Mr. Philippe’s book, before proceeding to read the following passage,
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-1603 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-21T164040.276-e1632267723408-1024x596.png" alt="" width="580" height="338" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-21T164040.276-e1632267723408-1024x596.png 1024w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-21T164040.276-e1632267723408-300x175.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-21T164040.276-e1632267723408-768x447.png 768w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-21T164040.276-e1632267723408-1200x698.png 1200w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-21T164040.276-e1632267723408.png 1299w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" />
&nbsp;
After finishing, Ms. Schlanger reveals to Mr. Philippe that she is Jewish and has grandparents that survived the Holocaust. Continuing, she offers an apology to Mr. Philippe, stating, “I’m so sorry that your experience with the world made you feel that way.”
Earlier in the interview, Mr. Philippe described the original passage as “so much longer” before it was cut by the book’s editor and was revised down to the portion now in the book. He then attributes his urge to write about a hypothetical race war to “advanced world-building” caused by his admiration of the game, “Dungeons and Dragons.”
Mr. Philippe states that a race war is inevitable and the book merely describes the only logical outcome to America’s political and social instability. Mr. Philippe then rushes to assure the host that he is “not a violent person” and “loves all his white friends.”

<a href="https://barnard.edu/profiles/maria-rivera-maulucci" target="_blank" rel="noopener">María Rivera Maulucci</a> is the Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Education, Chair of the Education Program, and Director of the Barnard Noyce Teacher Scholars Program at Barnard College. According to Maulucci’s university profile, “Her interdisciplinary scholarship focuses on how teachers learn to teach for social justice and the role of language, identity, and emotions in teacher development.”

In an article for Barnard Magazine titled “<a href="https://barnard.edu/magazine/fall-2018/laboratory-inclusion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Laboratory of Inclusion</a>,” Maulucci described how she incorporates inclusion into her teaching:
“We talk about class and ethnicity and gender and language and race, and how those things impact the learner, and how to draw on them as assets rather than seeing these things as deficiencies.”
Maulucci participated in a Columbia University and Barnard College <a href="https://bwog.com/2024/04/student-workers-and-faculty-hold-walkouts-to-demand-amnesty-for-students-and-faculty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faculty protest</a> titled “Rally to Support our Students and Reclaim our University” after student protesters took over the lawns of Columbia University in April 2024. 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.”

Maulucci <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/23/over-100-faculty-members-protest-in-rally-to-support-our-students-and-reclaim-our-university/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoke at the walkout</a>, as seen below, saying:
“From the beginning of this crisis, our educational leaders have failed to provide balanced and caring messaging that acknowledges the real grief of our students and faculty on all sides of this issue.” 
<img class="alignnone wp-image-3586 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Screen-Shot-2024-04-25-at-3.42.01-PM-1024x667.png" alt="" width="640" height="417" />

After assuring students that the faculty members “stand with you,” Maulucci demanded the university apologize to the students they suspended:
“We demand the following: an immediate apology and amnesty for all students that have been suspended. An immediate rollback of University and college rules that restrict the time, place, and manner of assembly and freedom of expression.”

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

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

Diana Sokol is a<a href="https://contacts.mesacc.edu/diana.sokol"> Dual Enrollment Instructor</a> at Mesa Community College. She also serves as an English teacher at<a href="https://rmhs.mpsaz.org/staff?page_no=5"> Red Mountain High School</a> within Mesa Public Schools. 
The Watchlist team intercepted an English Composition assignment (see below) that Sokol presented to students on the second day of class. The writing exercise asks students to consider ideas of “structural racism,” “white indifference,” and “reparations for black Americans.”
On<a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/my-drive"> pages 429-430</a>, the author Shelby Steele, asks, &#8220;The victims of the Nazi Holocaust have received monetary reparations from the German government. Should the United States government, in a similar fashion, pay monetary reparations to the descendants of slaves?&#8221;

<a href="http://humsci.auburn.edu/hdfs/grad/bios/d_corbitt-hall.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Darcy Corbitt-Hall</a> is a professor of Human Development &amp; Family Services at Auburn University. 
In exclusive audio provided to the Watchlist, Corbitt-Hall lectures that he opposes living in a “color-blind” society, asks students to not view the world through a “white lens,” and not to assume that black people can live up to “eurocentric” ideals. 
The student who approached the Watchlist with audio is required to take the course—<a href="https://ssbprod.auburn.edu/pls/PROD/bwckschd.p_disp_detail_sched?term_in=201310&amp;crn_in=12756" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marriage and Family in a Global Context</a>—to graduate from the College of Human Sciences. 
Corbitt-Hall—who identifies as a transgender woman—reportedly requires that his preferred pronouns be used in class and has students memorize a gamut of sexual identities. Despite the title of the course, many lectures are spent discussing race, white privilege, and issues affecting the transgender community. 
In one lecture dated August 29, 2022, Corbitt-Hall claims that our society separates people by race, sexuality, and body type in order to oppress them. Drawing parallels between racism experienced by black people, discrimination faced by Left-handed people, and his own obesity, Corbitt-Hall cites his struggle to fit into an airplane seat as proof that “this world was not designed for people like me.” 
“I will tell you that I am clinically obese and I don’t fit in an airplane seat. I don’t fit into these seats…My entire life is discomfort…because I live in a world that’s designed for thin people…But I can’t help my hand in this anymore than I can help my eye color. Or the color of my skin.&#8221; 
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video">
<video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-1" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-the-world-was-not-made-for-people-like-me.mp4?_=1" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-the-world-was-not-made-for-people-like-me.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-the-world-was-not-made-for-people-like-me.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
Continuing, he claims that black people have experienced 400 years of stolen wealth, racial prejudice, and structural inequality due to their race. 
“In the United States, 400 years of stolen generational wealth in the form of slavery means the majority of African Americans in this county live in poverty.” 
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-2" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-400-years-of-stolen-wealth.mp4?_=2" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-400-years-of-stolen-wealth.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-400-years-of-stolen-wealth.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
Corbitt-Hall later clarifies that as a white person, he has never faced problems in his life, but nonetheless continues to “hold white people to account” for their racism.  
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-3" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-I-hold-white-people-to-account.mp4?_=3" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-I-hold-white-people-to-account.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-I-hold-white-people-to-account.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
Beginning to cry, Corbitt-Hall claims that his ancestors owned slaves and impacted how “black families experienced their world.” 
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-4" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-My-family-owned-slaves-.mp4?_=4" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-My-family-owned-slaves-.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-My-family-owned-slaves-.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
He explains this is why he opposes living in a color-blind society, as focusing on race is the most effective way to determine how black people live. 
“And so we can’t abandon the study of race. We have to continue studying it because we have to understand how it’s still impacting people…We have to see color, we have to be able to see how (black people) are being treated.”     
&nbsp;
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-5" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-We-need-to-study-race.mp4?_=5" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-We-need-to-study-race.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-We-need-to-study-race.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
Corbitt-Hall then urges students not to use a “Euro or white-centric lens” when viewing the world. He explains that black people cannot fit into the “white conceptions” of a nuclear family and two-parent households, and therefore should not be judged by “eurocentric standards.” 
“And so one of the dangers we fall into, one of the traps we fall into if we focus too heavily on the family from a euro or white-centric lens is trying to force families of color into what we consider to be normal or healthy family environment which may or may not work for those groups.” 
&nbsp;
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-6" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-White_Euro-Centric-Lens-.mp4?_=6" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-White_Euro-Centric-Lens-.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-White_Euro-Centric-Lens-.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
Over the next series of lectures, Corbitt-Hall makes a variety of claims regarding sexuality, gender, and body dysphoria. In one, he claims same-sex attraction plays an important “evolutionary role,” and if not for heteronormativity “most would be pansexual.” 
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-7" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-Evolutionary-reason-for-gay-relationships.mp4?_=7" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-Evolutionary-reason-for-gay-relationships.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2-Corbitt-Hall-Evolutionary-reason-for-gay-relationships.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
In another lecture, Corbitt-Hall claims that chromosomes don’t determine your gender, but society still creates a binary that doesn’t match reality. 
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-8" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Corbitt-Hall-2-Society-creates-binary.mp4?_=8" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Corbitt-Hall-2-Society-creates-binary.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Corbitt-Hall-2-Society-creates-binary.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
Outside of class, Corbitt-Hall is <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ellievhall/alabama-transgender-drivers-license" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suing the state of Alabama</a> for refusing to issue a driver’s license identifying him as female. In an interview with Buzzfeed, Corbitt-Hall—who has not undergone any surgeries during his transition—described Alabama’s definitions of gender as “cruel.” 
‘To really expect someone to alter their bodies to conform to some very rigid, narrow perception of what gender should be is manipulative and cruel…Plenty of transgender people just take hormones, that’s enough for them. They got the characteristics they wanted. They don’t want to change their lower half and shouldn’t have to.”
The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Corbitt-Hall but has not received a response prior to publication.

<a href="https://cla.auburn.edu/english/people/lecturers-research-fellows/jesse-a-goldberg/">Jesse A. Goldberg</a> is a Visiting Research Fellow in the English Department at Auburn University.

Self-described as a “radical anti-racist white teacher”, he has repeatedly demonized police officers on his personal <a style="color: #000000;" href="https://twitter.com/KempoJesse">social media accounts</a>, <a style="color: #000000;" href="https://yellowhammernews.com/auburn-professor-f-every-single-cop/">tweeting</a>:

“F*ck every single cop. Every single one. The only ethical choice for any cop to make at this point is to refuse to do their job and quit. The police do not protect people. They protect capital. They are instruments of violence on behalf of capital.”

In a since-deleted Facebook post, Goldberg wrote “ACAB” which stands for “all cops are bastards.” The post reads:

“ACAB. Yes, all. Police do not protect people. They protect capital. Cops are instruments of violence on behalf of capital. Literally the only ethical decision for a cop in this moment is to refuse to do their job, to quit. The only good cop is a cop who quits.”

Goldberg had previously <a style="color: #000000;" href="https://yellowhammernews.com/incoming-auburn-professor-wont-say-war-eagle-because-it-contains-the-word-war/">tweeted</a> that he refuses to say “War Eagle,” Auburn University's battle cry, due to the presence of the word “war” in the phrase. The header photo on his Twitter account also indicates that he believes in the abolition of prisons and wages.

<a href="https://amed.sfsu.edu/content/rabab-abdulhadi-profile">Rabab Abdulhadi</a> is a professor of Arab &amp; Muslim Ethnicities &amp; Diasporas and  Race &amp; Resistance Studies at San Francisco State University.
Abdullah is <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Rabab_Abdulhadi">regarded</a> as a virulently anti-Israel activist. At a UCLA lecture, she equated support for Israel with <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=13849">white supremacy</a>, and reportedly asked Jewish Israel supporters to distance themselves from “white supremacy.”
In 2018, Abdullhadi declared that Zionists are not welcome at SFSU in a lengthy Facebook <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=13849">post.</a>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-940 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-03-at-12.59.47-PM.png" alt="" width="547" height="281" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-03-at-12.59.47-PM.png 547w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-03-at-12.59.47-PM-300x154.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 547px) 100vw, 547px" />

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/888543" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Katelyn Cooper</a> is an Assistant Professor and Program Director of Biology Education Research for Arizona State University’s  Center for Biology and Society Program . 
In 2019, Cooper founded the “<a href="https://katelyncooper1.wixsite.com/bioedlab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cooper Biology Education Research Lab</a>” because she, as a gay woman, was “worried about biology research not being inclusive enough of “LGBTQ+ people,” according to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/inclusive-lab-for-lgbt-students-created-by-arizona-state-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">College Fix. </a>
Cooper is “upset that heterosexual white [men] dominate the biological sciences.” She told <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/nbc-out-proud/professor-making-biology-education-inclusive-lgbtq-undergrads-rcna28813" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a> that “The goal isn’t just to make classrooms more inclusive, she explained, but to bring more diversity to a field that has traditionally been dominated by straight white men.” 
Cooper also told NBC News her hopes for collegiate science education: “Cooper said science educators can make their classrooms more inclusive by being openly supportive of LGBTQ students.” According to Cooper, “Educators can, for example, put an inclusivity statement on their syllabus or website, foster safe environments for students to reveal their LGBTQ identities and familiarize themselves with on-campus LGBTQ resources in case students come to them for support.”

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

“Boyles established Drag Queen Story Hour-Arizona in 2019, a chapter of the national Drag Queen Story Hour organization…Boyles has been featured in several ‘The Art of Drag’ events alongside one of his drag queen storytellers…The most recent event occurred on Wednesday [September 20, 2023].  During the <a href="https://youtu.be/RN0Bou3wmxk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presentation</a>, Boyles said that the notion that drag shows are harmful to children was a ‘myth.’ He also said that drag queens have been long considered the leaders of LGBTQ+ communities.”

During “<a href="https://youtu.be/RN0Bou3wmxk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Art of Drag</a>” talk, Boyles claimed Drag Queen Story Hour-Arizona has been “targeted by acts of violence” and “neo-Nazis showing up to disrupt events.” He also presented what he believed to be the beginning of drag culture in America using the newspaper clip featured below:

In the “Queer Sex Ed” blog, Boyles also wrote that sex education has been traditionally racist since “black people and immigrants were typically viewed as being sexually promiscuous and aggressive and sex education was designed to keep good white kids from being ‘infected’ by them.”

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

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

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

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

&nbsp;

Dr. Salas additionally cites a study that claims teachers will call on boys more often than girls in their classrooms. She claims this as proof that teachers think boys answer questions correctly more often than girls.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Lorraine-Moya-Salas-Part-1_2.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Throughout the lecture, Dr. Salas alleges that numerous racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in society are a result of implicit bias. She urges her students, as future social workers, to confront their own implicit biases and assigns an “implicit bias test” for them to complete before the next class.

Dr. Salas additionally claims that institutional racism produces inequality and disparities, attributing it to the legacy of slavery in the Americas. Although acknowledging that all cultures practiced slavery, she claims that no slave trade was enforced along racial lines until the Europeans did so in order to specifically oppress people of color.

Citing slavery, the genocide of Native Americans and discriminatory, Jim Crow laws, Dr. Salas claims that  America was constructed as a “white supremacist culture” for the sole benefit of white people who have maintained their “white power structures” ever since.

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

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

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

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/291312" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rashad Shabazz</a> is an Associate Professor of African American Studies in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University (ASU). Shabazz’s university profile says his “academic expertise brings together human geography, black cultural studies, gender studies, and critical prison studies.” He also holds a Ph.D. in History of Consciousness from the University of California-Santa Cruz.

Shabazz teaches several race-based courses including “<a href="https://webapp4.asu.edu/bookstore/viewsyllabus/2227/88026">AFR301:</a> Race and Racism in the Black Diaspora.” The course description says, 

“Through slave rebellion in Haiti, black notions of freedom, black ideas of ‘being,’ and what on thinker calls ‘black reason,’ this class aims to show that race and racism is more than a tapestry of dominion, but…a reservoir of revolutionary ideas that…transform the world.”

In response to the killing of Tyre Nichols - a black man who was arrested and beaten and later died in the custody of black police officers - Shabazz <a href="https://theconversation.com/black-police-officers-arent-colorblind-theyre-infected-by-the-same-anti-black-bias-as-american-society-and-police-in-general-198721" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an article</a> in The Conversation entitled, “Black police officers aren’t colorblind–they’re infected by the same anti-black bias as American society and police in general.”

In the article, Shabazz argued, “Policing in the U.S. has, from its inception, treated Black people as domestic enemies. From slave patrols…to the murder of George Floyd, and now the death of Nichols, law enforcement officers often have viewed black people as what…W.E.B. Du Bois called a ‘problem.’”

He continued, “It’s hard to investigate the minds of the officers who beat Nichols so savagely and say for sure what motivated them. But there is ample research that suggests anti-blackness is a factor in American policing. And black officers, agents of an institutionally racist system, are affected by this.”

McCall’s biography says her research “centers on how race, class and culture impact educational equity in music learning and teaching.”

<a href="https://news.asu.edu/20210721-critical-race-theory-scholar-joins-asu-school-music-dance-and-theatre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ASU News</a> announced McCall’s position in 2021, stating that she was “one of the few scholars whose music education research focuses on race and racism through critical race theory [CRT] and double consciousness theory…”

The article goes on to say that McCall was the only African-American student to earn a doctorate in music education from ASU. McCall also reportedly said that she feels she can offer “an informed perspective based on experience and expertise” that can optimize K-12 learning experiences.

In July 2022, McCall was featured in a <a href="https://www.classicfm.com/discover-music/critical-race-theory-music-education/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Classic FM article</a> titled, “Music professor breaks down [CRT] and why it’s crucial for 21st-century music education.” McCall told the publication:

“‘[CRT] is a tool that was conceptualized and born out of critical legal studies as a means to analyze, critique and to help dismantle racism…Even though…we like to think of ourselves as being more progressive and more innovative…When you look at a university curriculum in America, it gives you a really nice snapshot of Western Europe.’”

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lober also serves as the director of ASU’s Academy of Lactation Programs and the clinical research director at Banner University Medical Center–Phoenix.

During an ASU presentation in March 2023, Lober pointed out that part of the Lactation Programs vision is to “normalize breastfeeding and human milk feeding as an act of social justice and health promotion.”

On August 30, 2024, Lober was featured in The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/u-s-hates-women-faces-future-of-cannibalism-forced-breeding-camps-asu-event/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> entitled “U.S. ‘hates women,’ faces future of cannibalism, ‘forced breeding campus’: ASU event.” Lober partnered with ASU Professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/jennyirish" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jenny Irish</a> who <a href="https://asuevents.asu.edu/event/jenny-irishs-hatch-speculative-future-reproductive-rights?eventDate=2024-08-28&amp;id=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">organized an event</a> to discuss abortion.

According to The Fix, “Lober opened the one-hour moderated discussion by stating she ‘got into this space because the United States hates women and everything the female body does.’” 

The School Board Watchlist did not uncover the original audio from the event. However, <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/cannibalism-forced-breeding-professors-fearmonger-abortion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Live Action </a>pointed out:
“Lober also argued that she is discouraging her children from having children, and said the decline in birth rates is a good thing—because the planet is overpopulated. Yet, ironically, the ASU <a href="https://asuevents.asu.edu/event/jenny-irishs-hatch-speculative-future-reproductive-rights?eventDate=2024-08-28&amp;id=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">events page</a> states that Lober’s ‘research is focused on establishing lactation and breastfeeding as a public health imperative’ and that she ‘is dedicated to working for a better world for families’...How, exactly does not create a better world for families or better health for children by encouraging abortion?”
Conservative lawyer and journalist, Jonathan Turley, <a href="https://jonathanturley.org/2024/09/01/the-united-states-hates-women-asu-event-offers-dystopian-anti-capitalist-vision-of-america/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mentioned</a> Lober in an article titled “‘The United States Hates Women’: ASU Event Offer Dystopian, Anti-Capitalist Vision of America.” Reflecting on Lober’s resolution for a future America without abortion, Turley said she called for the audience “to help ‘dismantle capitalism’ and ‘elect a female president.’”

Since the event, Lober has not commented publicly on her role in the conversation with Irish. Based on mainstream media reactions, both professors are committed to espousing anti-American and anti-family values.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<a href="https://fhssfaculty.byu.edu/directory/jane-lopez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Jane Lopez</a> is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at <a href="https://www.byu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brigham Young University</a> in Provo, Utah. According to her university biography, her research focuses on immigration, citizenship, law, race, and ethnicity.
In addition to teaching a class on immigration, Dr. Lopez is a sought-after speaker on the topic by the university. She was a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FNKG4m6FOg&amp;t=4041s&amp;ab_channel=BYUKennedyCenter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured guest in a Kennedy Center</a> event that condemned current immigration laws as oppressive and racist.
During her remarks, Dr. Lopez echoed her co-panelists praise of illegal immigration and encouragement to violate existing immigration laws. She further referred to the expectation of immigrants to learn English as a “privilege” of native-born Americans who will never face immigration laws.
Toward the end of her speech, Dr. Lopez stated that our ancestors were illegal immigrants. Americans have no right to deny immigrants, as this country “isn’t ours to begin with” and our ancestors caused &#8220;much greater destruction&#8221; than immigrants do today.

&nbsp;
Dr. Lopez’s classes further focus on race and “white privilege.” In leaked documents from her course, SOC-112, Dr. Lopez tasked students to identify and expose “whiteness” at BYU.

The assignment, titled “Revealing Whiteness Activity,” asks teams of 3-4 students to explore the different aspects of “whiteness” built into the “physical and social environment” of BYU,

<a href="https://fhssfaculty.byu.edu/directory/rebecca-deschweinitz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Rebecca de Schweinitz</a> is an Associate Professor of History at <a href="https://www.byu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brigham Young University</a> (BYU) in Provo, Utah. According to her university biography, Dr. de Schweinitz teaches subjects such as American History, US Women’s History, and African American History.

Much of Dr. de Schweinitz’s work focuses on racism within the LDS Church and BYU. In one of her published papers—tilted <a href="https://www.dialoguejournal.com/articles/there-is-no-equality-william-e-berrett-byu-and-healing-the-wounds-of-racism-in-the-latter-day-saint-past-and-present/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“There is No Equity”</a>—Dr. de Schweinitz details the history of racism within the university.

Dr. de Schweinitz is frequently cited by BYU for her expertise on racism, or more specifically, “anti-racism.” In one discussion—hosted by the BYU Kennedy Center—she extolls anti-racist scholar, Ibram X Kendi’s Book, “<a href="https://www.ibramxkendi.com/how-to-be-an-antiracist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How to be an Antiracist</a>.”

Dr. Kendi’s book became a bestseller in 2020 during the height of the BLM riots. The premise targets systemic racism and claims that not it is not enough or to be “non-racist,” an individual must be anti racist, or take proactive actions or support policies that alleviate racism.

Readers may learn more about <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/ibramxkendi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Kendi by visiting his profile in the Professor Watchlist.</a>

During her comments on the panel, Dr. de Schweinitz <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RO0V1tQzMU&amp;ab_channel=BYUKennedyCenter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vehemently endorses Dr. Kendi’s work</a>. She even goes as far as to compare herself to Dr. Kendi, lauding the historical credentials of the latter. Furthermore, she openly admits that Dr. Kendi’s conception is taught in her classroom and centers her scholarships.

At one point, she calls racism a “metastatic cancer” that affects every single aspect of life in the United States. She admits that Dr. Kendi is right, and that white people are “nurtured” to be racist.

[video width="1920" height="1080" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Untitled.mp4"][/video]

Throughout the lecture, Dr. de Schweintz frequently references her LDS background as a pretext to cite the need to be “antiracist.” At one point, she compares God’s position on sin to her own—and by default, Dr. Keni’s as well—on racism; as one can either be for the world or for God, likewise you can either be racist or anti-racist.

This theme is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPCoxKtNvsg&amp;ab_channel=BYUKennedyCenter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">continued in part two of the lecture.</a> Dr. de Schweinitz wastes no time in not only praising critical race theory, but listing it as integral to fighting racism.

As <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro writes in Breitbart News</a>, critical race theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism that views America and all of its institutions as being infected with white supremacy—to the point of some, including <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/">claiming</a> America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England.

Dr. de Schweinitz states that anyone opposed to CRT is just viewing American history narrow-mindedly. She further states that an anti-racist America is “beautiful.” She articulates that critical theory is “one of many tools” that can be used by the church to alleviate racism.

<a href="https://fhssfaculty.byu.edu/directory/jane-lopez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Jane Lopez</a> is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at <a href="https://www.byu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brigham Young University</a> in Provo, Utah. According to her university biography, her research focuses on immigration, citizenship, law, race, and ethnicity.

In addition to teaching a class on immigration, Dr. Lopez is a sought-after speaker on the topic by the university. She was a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FNKG4m6FOg&amp;t=4041s&amp;ab_channel=BYUKennedyCenter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured guest in a Kennedy Center</a> event that condemned current immigration laws as oppressive and racist.

During her remarks, Dr. Lopez echoed her co-panelists praise of illegal immigration and encouragement to violate existing immigration laws. She further referred to the expectation of immigrants to learn English as a “privilege” of native-born Americans who will never face immigration laws.

Toward the end of her speech, Dr. Lopez stated that our ancestors were illegal immigrants. Americans have no right to deny immigrants, as this country “isn’t ours to begin with” and our ancestors caused "much greater destruction" than immigrants do today.

&nbsp;

Dr. Lopez’s classes further focus on race and “white privilege.” In leaked documents from her course, SOC-112, Dr. Lopez tasked students to identify and expose “whiteness” at BYU.

The assignment, titled “Revealing Whiteness Activity,” asks teams of 3-4 students to explore the different aspects of “whiteness” built into the “physical and social environment” of BYU,

“As a Predominantly White Institution (PWI), BYU not only has a disproportionate number of White students in its student body (compared to the US population as a whole), but it also has different aspects of “Whiteness” built into its physical and social environment.”

Updated - March 3rd, 2022

<a href="https://education.byu.edu/directory/view/bybee-eric" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Eric Ruiz Bybee</a> is an Assistant Professor of Teacher Education in the <a href="https://education.byu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David O. McKay School of Education</a> at <a href="https://www.byu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brigham Young University</a> in Provo, Utah.

In a message to the conservative, student-run publication, <a href="https://thecougarchronicle.godaddysites.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Cougar Chronicle</a>, Dr. Bybee threatened to report writers of the site and others for academic misconduct. The incident stemmed from a report by the paper in which a document from Dr. Jane Lopez’s course was published.

Her assignment—titled, “Revealing Whiteness Activity,”—asked students to identify and photograph three aspects of “whiteness” represented at BYU. The document further cited the author of “White Fragility”, Robin DeAngelo, to define “whiteness” as “specific dimensions of racism that serve to elevate white people over people of color.”

Several days after the story was posted, the site was inundated with comments accusing the author of posting private intellectual property.

<img class="size-full wp-image-1981 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screen-Shot-2022-02-28-at-10.55.17-AM.png" alt="" width="468" height="596" />

&nbsp;

Shortly after, Dr. Eric Bybee privately messaged the Chronicle and demanded the post be taken down. He likewise accused the authors of stealing Dr. Lopez’s intellectual property and engaging in “targeted harassment” before assuring that he is committed to pursuing “appropriate consequences” against those responsible.

He threatened to report several conservative students and activists on campus—including several who do not even write for the paper—to the university’s Honor Code office administration for disciplinary action (The names of the students have been blurred at their request).

<img class="wp-image-1985 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Untitled-5-×-11-in-1-3-465x1024.png" alt="" width="535" height="1177" />

&nbsp;

<a href="https://honorcode.byu.edu/about-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Honor Code Office</a> is tasked with enforcing the university’s code of conduct. Those found in violation may face academic discipline or—in extreme cases—expulsion from BYU.

Upon review of the Honor Code by the Professor Watchlist Team, t<a href="https://catalog.byu.edu/policy/academic-honesty">here appears to be no rule against the posting of an assignment</a>.

While the office ultimately chose to not investigate, the author of the story eventually edited the sections of the report that included Dr. Lopez’s course due to the nature of the threat. The <a href="https://thecougarchronicle.godaddysites.com/news-and-opinion/f/opinion-byu-teaching-antiracism---racism-repackaged" target="_blank" rel="noopener">updated piece can still be found on the Chronicle’s website</a> and a corresponding post on the site’s Instagram page—<a href="https://www.instagram.com/byuconservatives/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BYU Conservatives</a>—may be viewed below.

Dr. Bybee’s work has led him to <a href="https://education.byu.edu/directory/view/bybee-eric">author papers</a> on Latinx Education, Racial Identity, Social Justice Education, and even one paper titled <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/271217910_White_Supremacy_NeoColonial_Education_and_the_Struggle_for_Precious_Knowledge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“White Supremacy, Neo/Colonial Education and the Struggle for Precious Knowledge.”</a>

The Professor Watchlist team reached out to Dr. Bybee for comment but has not received a reply by the time of publication.

Update 
After publication, Dr. Bybee proceeded to publish 61-tweets defending teaching “whiteness” to his students and describing the Professor Watchlist as “something that sounds like it could have come out of Vladimir Putin’s Russia.” The full thread may be viewed below.

<a href="https://fhssfaculty.byu.edu/directory/jacob-rugh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jacob S. Rugh</a> is an Associate Professor in the College of Family, Home, &amp; Social Sciences department at Brigham Young University (BYU).

In August of 2020, Rugh <a href="https://www.sltrib.com/opinion/commentary/2020/08/09/jacob-s-rugh-an-open/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote a letter</a> to BYU’s Committee on Race, Equity, and Belonging. One of his aims for writing the letter was “to amplify the voices of Black BYU students, specifically <a href="https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2020/07/18/byus-black-student-union/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">their recent declaration</a> of grievances and letter on remembering and monuments to church, university and NAACP leaders.” 

Rugh said he has focused his BYU “citizenship efforts” to “the ongoing redesign of general education at BYU to include a new, focused diversity and inclusion requirement.” He also aims to establish “a new campus center for racial equality that would (among other tasks) spur the diversification of faculty now and enrich the pipeline of future faculty.” 

According to the letter, another priority of Rugh’s is for BYU to establish “a long-term process of institutional repentance,” on campus. 

In October of 2022, Rugh “quoted an anti-white article favorably in a tweet,” <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=20488" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Campus Reform</a>. The article, written by Perry Bacon Jr. for <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/10/13/america-has-white-voter-problem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a>, was titled “America’s problem is White people keep backing the Republican Party.” Bacon Jr. claims that there is an alliance between white Americans and the Republican party, which he considers to be the “most important and problematic dynamic in American politics today.” (see tweet below). 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
"It’s no accident that Republicans are winning the majority of White voters...result of a successful strategy.

<a href="https://ph.byu.edu/directory/stephanie-lutz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephanie Lutz</a> is an Internship Coordinator and Professor in the Department of Public Health at Brigham Young University (BYU). 

According to <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=20946" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, in a “<a href="https://catalog.byu.edu/life-sciences/public-health/womens-health-issues" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HLTH 450: Women’s Health</a> course,” course, Lutz promoted “the concept of ‘interspace’ in pregnancy, the idea that perhaps someone isn't truly pregnant if they don't ‘know’ whether they're pregnant yet.”

Lutz also went further with her claim that pregancy is ambiguous, and suggested use of a pill taken by a woman who is unsure if she is pregnant or not:
“If she had unprotected intercourse before she takes a positive pregnancy test. There's a pill she can take to just ensure. Like in this interspace, like I don’t want to take a pregnancy test and I kind of don't want to know if I actually conceived. This pill will just take care of it if I did, and if I didn't.”
Campus Reform spoke with Ashleigh Watts, a former student of Lutz, who shared her experiences in the professor’s class:

“I just found it ironic that she pretty much worshipped Margaret Sanger who founded planned parenthood and essentially led the mass genocide of black children by means of abortion…while also teaching us CRT, about microaggressions, white guilt, and how to be an ‘anti-racist,’” Watts said. 

In October of 2022, Lutz told <a href="https://universe.byu.edu/2022/10/11/female-empowerment-how-byu-is-uplifting-women/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Universe</a> (a BYU publication) her approach to covering the subject of woman in her class:
 “In my class, while we cover the lifespan of the woman, we also discuss body image, self-esteem, nutrition, social media’s portrayal of women, women being marketed to sell products, eating disorders and more.” 
In her course, Lutz also tries “to infuse more of the social context of what’s going on in that, looking at marginalized groups such as LGBTQ+, BIPOC, disabled women, etc.”

Nikole Hannah-Jones is the inaugural Knight Chair of Race and Reporting at Howard University in Washington D.C.
Hannah-Jones is best known as one of the primary authors of The 1619 Project. <a href="https://archive.org/details/1619project/full_issue_of_the_1619_project">Published in July of 2019 by The New York Times Magazine</a>, The 1619 Project is a series of reports and essays that purport to document the origins of and lingering effects of racism in America. The stated intent for the project is to establish 1619–the first year that slaves were brought to the British Colonies in America–as the true founding of the United States, rather than 1776. The project’s central thesis alleges that slavery and racism are the basis out of which the United States was created.<a href="https://pulitzercenter.org/blog/nikole-hannah-jones-wins-pulitzer-prize-1619-project"> Hannah-Jones was awarded The Pulitzer Prize</a> for her work on the project. Since its publication, The 1619 Project and its authors have faced a myriad of problems, including accusations of controversial hiring tactics, false claims, and shoddy research.
Hannah-Jones elicited controversy for the publication and retraction of false information in her articles and unearthed racially incendiary remarks.
&#8211; Shortly after the publication of the report, Hannah-Jones admitted that <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/18/reader-center/1619-project-slavery-jamestown.html">hiring almost exclusively black staff was a “non-negotiable”</a> aspect when beginning to work on the 1619 issue of The New York Times Magazine.
&#8211; One of Hannah-Jones’ central claims—“that one of the primary reasons the colonists decided to declare their independence from Britain was because they wanted to protect the institution of slavery”—<a href="https://nypost.com/2020/03/14/new-york-times-corrects-the-1619-project-but-its-still-a-giant-lie/">was retracted by the paper in early 2020</a>.
&#8211; In January 2020, <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/01/inclusive-case-1776-not-1619/604435/">numerous historians, scholars, and commentators—both conservatives and socialists</a>— as cited by The Atlantic criticized The New York Times and The 1619 Project for publishing false information about American history and slavery.
&#8211; In October 2020, <a href="https://www.nas.org/blogs/article/pulitzer-board-must-revoke-nikole-hannah-jones-prize">accomplished professors and intellectuals penned an open letter</a> calling on “the Pulitzer Prize Board to rescind the 2020 Prize for Commentary awarded to Nikole Hannah-Jones for her lead essay in The 1619 Project” because “&#8230; the article itself was false when written, making a large claim that protecting the institution of slavery was a primary motive for the American Revolution, a claim for which there is simply no evidence.”
Bret Stephens, a columnist for The New York Times and colleague of Hannah-Jones,<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201105003122/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/09/opinion/nyt-1619-project-criticisms.html"> rebuffed the 1619 Project,</a> writing in October 2020 that “Journalists are, most often, in the business of writing the first rough draft of history, not trying to have the last word on it. We are best when we try to tell truths with a lowercase t, following evidence in directions unseen, not the capital-T truth of a pre-established narrative in which inconvenient facts get discarded.”
By late 2020, both Hannah-Jones’ claims and The 1619 Project as a whole began receiving scrutiny–<a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/01/inclusive-case-1776-not-1619/604435/">from both the Left and Right</a>–on a near-daily occurrence. Hannah-Jones then falsely <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/">stated that The 1619 Project never claimed that 1619 was America’s true founding</a>, despite the fact that the allegation was printed on the front pages of the issue and was repeated numerous times in televised and print interviews.

Hannah-Jones attracted further scrutiny over a racially explicit op-ed that she had written as a student at Notre Dame University in 1996. <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/06/25/in-racist-screed-nyts-1619-project-founder-calls-white-race-barbaric-devils-bloodsuckers-no-different-than-hitler/">As reported by The Federalist</a>, Mrs. Hannah-Jones described white people as “bloodsuckers” and accused the white race of being the “biggest murderer, rapist, pillager, and thief, of the modern world.” She alleges in the same article that Africans arrived in the Americas “long before Columbus or any Europeans,” and that Christopher Columbus was “no different than Hitler.”

Joy Reid–host of The Reid Out on MSNBC– is a Hearst Visiting Professor at Howard University in Washington DC. Reid is known to launch into partisan diatribes during broadcasts and regularly uses her platform to berate conservatives.

During the riots in the summer of 2020 following the death of George Floyd, Reid has claimed there is “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzPloMpG2EM&amp;ab_channel=MSNBC">zero evidence</a>” that any of the destruction was connected to the movement. She has claimed that when there was any violence, it was inflicted by “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzPloMpG2EM&amp;ab_channel=MSNBC">white supremacists</a>” and Trump supporters.

It is reported that there was 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/">significant presence</a> by BLM activists at over 95% of the riots during the summer of 2020, resulting in at least 47 deaths and over <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.">2 billion</a> in damages.

Reid has <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/msnbc-joy-reid-labels-justice-150310965.html">referred to Justice Clarence Thomas as “Uncle Clarence,”</a> a reference to the racial epithet “Uncle Tom” when discussing his court rulings.

Following the <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/james-hodgkinson-shooting-republicans-baseball-game">2017 congressional baseball shooting</a>, Reid and her guest <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGQEdDySUVI&amp;ab_channel=MSNBC">mocked the victims for holding insufficiently liberal positions</a>. She accused Louisiana Congressman Steve Scalise of racism while he was fighting for his life after the attack.

In 2018, blog posts were unearthed from Reid’s old website that contained inflammatory language, bigoted statements, and<a href="https://nypost.com/2018/05/31/joy-reid-reportedly-once-touted-notorious-9-11-conspiracy-film/"> links to conspiracies that accused the United States government of plotting the 9/11 terror attacks</a>. <a href="https://nypost.com/2018/04/24/msnbc-stars-lame-excuse-after-homophobic-remarks-surface/?_ga=2.40761378.1834013034.1527547273-216432594.1517259352">Reid alleged that many members of Congress were secretly gay</a>, and <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/msnbc-host-joy-reid-criticized-jews-ariel-sharon-in-old-blog-posts/">openly mocked Jews</a>.

Once the blog was unearthed and began receiving media attention, Reid initially acknowledged that she had written the posts and apologized for her “bigoted remarks.” However, once additional posts surfaced, Reid reversed her position and claimed that she had never written the blog posts to begin with. Reid claimed on national television that <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/am-joy/watch/watch-msnbc-s-joy-reid-address-offensive-blog-posts-1221485635964">she “genuinely does not believe that“ she wrote the posts</a> and alleged that her blog was hacked. After her statement, cyber-security experts confirmed that there <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/04/the-evidence-is-not-with-joy-reid/558935/">was little evidence of Reid’s blog ever being breached</a>.

Reid<a href="https://newsroom.howard.edu/newsroom/article/13601/award-winning-msnbc-news-anchor-joy-reid-joins-howard-university-2021-hearst"> currently teaches a journalism class titled “Covering Race, Gender, and Politics in the Digital Age”</a>. Reid plans to teach journalism students how to navigate “partisanship and political division.”
“Particularly in this era of virtual media, and deep partisanship and political division, it’s never been more important that journalists incorporate a thorough and honest historical context in our coverage. I can’t wait to interact with the brilliant students at Howard and share ideas with them on how we as an industry can be better and do better.”

When the University finally bowed to the pressure and <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/07/06/nikole-hannah-jones-denies-tenure-at-unc-accepts-howard-role/">offered to meet her demands, Jones refused and accepted a similar position at Howard University.</a>

<a href="https://thedig.howard.edu/all-stories/two-iconic-american-writers-join-howard-create-center-help-educate-next-generation-black-journalists" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ta-Nehisi Coates</a> is an incoming professor in the College of Arts and Sciences at Howard University. He currently serves as a <a href="https://journalism.nyu.edu/about-us/news-post/2017/01/30/author-ta-nehisi-coates-join-faculty-nyus-carter-journalism-institute/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faculty member</a> in the NYU Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University. 

Coates spent much of his professional career writing for The Atlantic as a national correspondent. In 2014, he penned the 16,000-word essay, “<a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/06/the-case-for-reparations/361631/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Case for Reparations</a>.” The polemic brands America as a “slave society” that was founded on white supremacy:
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2791 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Copy-of-Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-4-e1674086331183-1024x374.png" alt="" width="640" height="234" />
No American is spared from this indictment, Coates argues, as the legacy of racism extends to each white citizen: 
“The crime indicts the American people themselves, at every level, and in nearly every configuration. A crime that implicates the entire American people deserves its hearing in the legislative body that represents them.” 
Coates has further <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-atlantic-writer-says-trump-presidency-paul-bois" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disparaged whites</a>, calling their votes an “indispensable” effort in promoting white supremacy each election cycle: 

“When you ask yourself why majorities of white people across socioeconomic demographics, across gender lines, across education lines, would endorse someone who only had whiteness to offer and all you come to is tribalism. That’s all that’s left.”

Coates is most <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/ta-nehisi-coates-who-called-9-11-responders-menaces-of-nature-to-speak-at-west-point" target="_blank" rel="noopener">infamously</a> known for his 2001 book, <a href="https://ta-nehisicoates.com/books/between-the-world-and-me/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Between the World and Me</a>, where he describes 9/11 first responders as sub-human and “menaces of nature:” 

“They were not human to me…Black, white, or whatever, they were menaces of nature; they were the fire, the comet, the storm, which could – with no justification – shatter my body.”

While producing a series of Captain America comics, Coates allegedly depicted popular academic <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/apr/6/jordan-b-peterson-stunned-by-red-skull-hit-job-in-/">Jordan Peterson as the demagogic, fascist Red Skull</a>. 

Widely acclaimed on the left for his work, Coates was awarded a <a href="https://www.macfound.org/fellows/class-of-2015/ta-nehisi-coates#searchresults" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MacArthur Genius Grant</a> in 2015. The “no-strings-attached” program gifted <a href="https://www.macfound.org/programs/fellows/strategy">$800,000</a> to Coates for “Interpreting complex and challenging issues around race and racism through the lens of personal experience and nuanced historical analysis.

One commenter said, “Shame on JK Rowling for protecting women’s sex based spaces and keeping them female only?

In the introduction, he declared:
“Over the past century, racists have used the medium of film to perpetuate harmful stereotypes and offer warped narratives, or they have portrayed white reality as though it were the only reality that mattered … The task of this book is to interrogate [the] six phases of Hollywood treatment of race, moving from our undoubtedly racist past to our still-troubled but perhaps slightly more hopeful present.”
Regarding the second and third of Garrett’s “six phases,” he said, “[W]hite filmmakers of conscience recognized the propensity for racism and sought to make incremental changes in the stories they told. Other white storytellers launched a third phase, attempting to portray the lives of people of color in a more significant and representative way.”
Garrett doesn’t dedicate any significant thoughts to the fact that African Americans have had an influence on filmmaking <a href="https://blogs.loc.gov/now-see-hear/2022/10/looking-and-looking-again-at-black-film-history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">for more than a century</a>.
In 2023, Garrett was <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1--5CXQAero0PUJmybzGPui7JAIIIY8y9/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in an article</a> titled “Authors find common ground in truth on facing racism, to speak at Baylor.” The publication highlighted Garrett’s<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gospel-according-James-Baldwin-Americas/dp/1626985391/ref=asc_df_1626985391/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=693433656677&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=2774342427297229342&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9061155&amp;hvtargid=pla-2192349392532&amp;psc=1&amp;mcid=cd5198ceef083541bf44a86a85a4e3d5&amp;gad_source=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> book</a>, “The Gospel According to James Baldwin: What America’s Great Prophet Can Teach Us about Life, Love, and Identity.” Regarding Garrett’s authorship, the source said:
“Garrett spent six years on the book, traveling to Baldwin’s home in France, Switzerland and Harlem, New York, and reading deeply in his work. He distills Baldwin’s views into chapters on culture, faith, race, justice, and identity, concluding that the American writer points a way through America’s troubled past and present with racism.”
The article’s author and Garrett both failed to seriously consider that much of Baldwin’s struggles <a href="https://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/james-baldwin-about-the-author/59/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">occurred before Civil Rights legislation</a> was passed to grant black people equal rights and protections under the law.

In 2023, Garrett was <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1--5CXQAero0PUJmybzGPui7JAIIIY8y9/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in an article</a> titled “Authors find common ground in truth on facing racism, to speak at Baylor.” The publication highlighted Garrett’s<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gospel-according-James-Baldwin-Americas/dp/1626985391/ref=asc_df_1626985391/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=693433656677&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=2774342427297229342&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9061155&amp;hvtargid=pla-2192349392532&amp;psc=1&amp;mcid=cd5198ceef083541bf44a86a85a4e3d5&amp;gad_source=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> book</a>, “The Gospel According to James Baldwin: What America’s Great Prophet Can Teach Us about Life, Love, and Identity.” Regarding Garrett’s authorship, the source said:

“Garrett spent six years on the book, traveling to Baldwin’s home in France, Switzerland and Harlem, New York, and reading deeply in his work. He distills Baldwin’s views into chapters on culture, faith, race, justice, and identity, concluding that the American writer points a way through America’s troubled past and present with racism.”

The article’s author and Garrett both failed to seriously consider that much of Baldwin’s struggles <a href="https://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/james-baldwin-about-the-author/59/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">occurred before Civil Rights legislation</a> was passed to grant black people equal rights and protections under the law.

“We are writers who unequivocally stand with Palestine and its fight for liberation against the illegal occupation of Israel and the violent settler colonial apartheid state. We strongly condemn the response of [W]estern media and political actors at all levels of government in their dissemination of misinformation and propaganda, intended to manufacture consent for the genocide of Palestinian people.”
The statement goes on to say:
“Islamophobic, genocidal, anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian rhetoric are all rooted in the languages we use. It is our responsibility to lay bare how language has been used to obscure and preserve the ongoing settler colonial project outside Gaza…”

<a href="https://as.tufts.edu/people/faculty/thomas-abowd">Thomas Abowd</a> is a lecturer in the American and Colonialism Studies Departments at Tufts University. Abowd is the author of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Colonial-Jerusalem-Construction-Difference-Contemporary/dp/0815634692">“Colonial Jerusalem - The Spatial Construction of Identity and Difference in a City of Myth 1948-2012.”</a> He has also served as an <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Thomas_Abowd">advisory board member</a> of the group Jewish Voice for Peace in Boston and regularly collaborates with the antisemitic group, <a href="https://www.nationalsjp.org/">Students for Justice in Palestine.</a>

Abowd frequently refers to Israel as a colonial state, in which European Jews stole the land from the Arabs who were living in what is now Israel and launched a campaign of ethnic cleansing that continues to this day. In a 2016 speech at the <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?418402-3/palestine-center-conference-panel-2">Jerusalem Fund’s Annual Conference</a>, Abowd repeated this claim, alleging that Israel’s capital Jerusalem is being actively purged of the Arabs that live in the city.

Abowd’s view that Israel is an apartheid state forms the basis for his support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. BDS is weaponized as a means for those who wish to economically and politically isolate, strangle, and dismantle the state of Israel by attacking any companies and nations that have ties with it. As a featured speaker at a <a href="https://jvp-boston.org/hundreds-march-boston-condemn-israeli-violence-corporate-complicity/">2014 protest</a> hosted by Jewish Voice for Peace Boston, Abowd condemned Israel and other companies that he alleged were complicit in the murder of civilians:

“As we all witnessed Israeli jets bombing civilian areas this week, Israeli troops storming Palestinian refugee camps and cities, and the killing of Palestinian civilians, I am reminded how complicit the US government, US corporations, and the American taxpayers are in the human rights abuses committed by Israel.” 

With his prior statements and actions in mind, many in the <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=13577">Tuft’s community were alarmed</a> when Abowd began offering a course titled “Colonizing Palestine.”  According to the <a href="https://as.tufts.edu/colonialismstudies/documents/coursesFall2019.pdf">course description</a>, students will examine Palestine and Israel through the “lens of colonialism studies” and answer important questions regarding issues like “gender and sexuality.”

In an <a href="https://tuftsdaily.com/opinion/2018/09/20/op-ed-professor-thomas-abowd-class-colonizing-palestine/">op-ed defending the course</a>, Abowd describes Israel’s historical claims in the Middle East as “biblical myths.” He even admits that the accounts of historians that have accused Israel of ethnic cleansing are the inspiration for the course:

“(Baruch Kimmerling) wrote in detail about the various ways in which Israel was built overwhelmingly upon the land and even within homes stolen from those Palestinians made refugees. These two scholars, like thousands of others fighting for justice and equality in Israel and Palestine, have inspired my own intellectual pursuits and, indeed, the course I am teaching this semester at Tufts.“

Professor Kareem Khubchandan is an <a href="https://as.tufts.edu/wgss/people/faculty/kareem-khubchandani" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associate Professor in Tufts University’s School of Arts and Sciences</a> department. He specializes in Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies, as well as Studies in Race, Colonialism, and Diaspora. Khubchandan has written multiple books, journal essays, and encyclopedia entries mostly promoting the history of drag and queer performances in South Asia.

Khubchandan also performs on college campuses under a persona named LaWhore Vagistan. According to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=18353" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform,</a> “The Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics [hosted the] Tufts professor under his drag alter ego at a meeting for the Politics of Race &amp; Ethnicity program.” Students and faculty were invited via email which included an advertisement of Khubchandan posing in a library.

Additionally, in 2019, <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=13808" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform said</a> Khubchandan "lectur[ed] in drag at various universities in order to teach students about ‘queer nightlife’ and to bring ‘the nightclub to the classroom.” His performance themes continue to range from queer feminism to globalization to Islamophobia.

Khubchandan refers to himself as an “aunty” to his students and mentees on campus. He also teaches Critical Aunty Studies, which is part of Tufts’ Mellon Bridge program. In an <a href="https://www.criticalauntystudies.com/01-welcome" target="_blank" rel="noopener">online introduction to the aunty symposium</a>, he discussed the “mutual nature of aunty work across all generations [which includes] aging as a transgender person, fashion, drag, and body size.”

<a href="https://as.tufts.edu/art-architecture/people/faculty/kelli-morgan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kelli Morgan</a> is a Professor of the Practice in both Curatorial Studies and the History of Art and Architecture at Tufts University. She’s also the Director of Curatorial Studies. Her research interests include African-American visual culture, visual literacy, and anti-racist approaches to museum curative practice.

Morgan received her appointment as Professor of the Practice in September 2022. In November, Morgan <a href="https://tuftsdaily.com/news/2022/11/07/professor-kelli-morgan-founds-anti-racist-curatorial-practice-in-effort-to-diversify-museums/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared in an article</a> from The Tufts Daily titled “Professor Kelli Morgan founds Anti-Racist Curatorial Practice in effort to diversify museums.” 

The column says, “[Morgan] founded a new graduate certificate program this year, the Anti-Racist Curatorial Practice. Morgan developed the program…to counter systemic racism often found in museum curation.”

Tufts Daily continues, “Morgan decided to establish the program after experiencing years of discrimination as an art museum curator, most recently as an associate curate of American art at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.”

Morgan told Tufts Daily she resigned from her position due to experiencing issues with “class discrimination, gender discrimination, and racial discrimination” that she says is “really rampant in our museum culture, especially in traditional art institutions.”

<a href="https://asegrad.tufts.edu/program/anti-racist-curatorial-practice-certificate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Curriculum focus areas</a> for Morgan’s Anti-Racist Curatorial Practice program consist of the following:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Counter-Hegemonic Approaches: learn how to identify traditional museum practices that are rooted in racist principles</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Connection to Practice: allows students to learn from experienced anti-racist curatorial practitioners</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Community Impact: curatorial approaches that position collective care within frameworks of social and racial equity </li>
</ul>

Morgan’s speaking engagement, “<a href="https://kam.illinois.edu/event/postponed-kelli-morgan-art-whiteness-and-empire-how-we-all-got-here" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Art, Whiteness, and Empire: How We All Got Here</a>” — which is hosted by the University of Illinois-Urban Campaign — has been postponed until further notice. The lecture is scheduled to run from October to December and will cover “how and why art museums are currently struggling so badly with diversity, repatriation, restitution, and attempts to create genuine cultures of institutional equity.”

<a href="https://as.tufts.edu/education/people/faculty/cynthia-robinson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cynthia Robinson</a> is a Senior Lecturer in the areas of Museum Studies, History, and Education at Tufts University. She also serves as the Director of Museum Studies and a faculty member for the <a href="https://asegrad.tufts.edu/program/anti-racist-curatorial-practice-certificate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racist Curatorial Practice program</a> — a certification program that trains students in “effective methods of divesting traditional museum practices that are rooted in white colonialist and imperialist histories.”

In March 2022, Robinson took her class to an exhibit through the Tufts University Art Galleries. According to an article titled “<a href="https://now.tufts.edu/2022/03/01/hacking-diversity-and-representation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hacking for Diversity and Representation</a>,” Tufts Now said it was the Galleries' first “Art Datathon to examine how gender, race, and artistic mediums are represented in the university’s collection.”

The presentation was inspired by the director and chief curator for Tufts Galleries who conducted a public audit of campus art by “white males.” Tufts Now reported, “From that analysis (conducted as part of the Tufts as an Anti-Racist Institution initiative)...the Public Art working group concluded that while the university’s imagery wasn’t overtly racist, it was exclusionary because it did not include any people of color.”

<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-2544" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/PWL-QUOTES-25-e1668102711807-1024x371.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="232" />

<a href="https://sites.tufts.edu/cynthiarobinson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robinson’s personal website</a> links to a selected publications list that includes a piece called “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/10598650.2017.1310485?needAccess=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Editorial about critical race theory.</a>” In the article Robinson declares,

“Many museum professionals — who are, in this country, overwhelmingly white — have subsumed direct discussion of racism by using the language of diversity and inclusivity. For several decades, the field has sought ways to diversify museum audiences to reach non-white, non-Anglo visitors through changes in programming, exhibition topics, and marketing.”

She also stated,

“Race is a social, not a biological construct…’Racism’ is a term that came into use less than a century ago, and its definition and underlying ideology [have] changed over time…CRT…argues that [the idea of] racism-free [people] is not a possible condition when we operate within racialized systems. Moreover, racism often emanates from experiences, rather than theories.”

Mr. <a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/0031Q00002Ad6npQAB/josh-ruebner">Josh Ruebner</a> is an adjunct faculty member in the <a href="https://justiceandpeace.georgetown.edu/">Program on Justice and Peace</a> at Georgetown University. According to Georgetown&#8217;s website, the goal of the Justice and Peace Program is to produce “practically useful scholarships on how to create a more just and peaceful world.” In addition to his teaching roles, Ruebner is a Managing Director for the organization <a href="https://www.ampalestine.org/about-amp/staff">American Muslims for Palestine (AMP)</a>.
Mr. Ruebner has served in the Congressional Research Service (CRS), which provides policy analysis on behalf of committees in both the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. As a member of the CRS, Mr. Ruebner co-authored <a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs1535/m1/1/high_res_d/RL30713_2001Jan05.pdf">The Current Palestinian Uprising: Al-Aqsa Intifadah</a>, in which he accuses Israel of disproportionate use of force against Palestinians. Ruebner has also <a href="https://joshruebner.com/jewish-anti-occupation-group-lobbies-u-s/">sponsored</a> congressional staff members on a trip to the West Bank to advocate cutting off economic aid to Israel.
In 2018, Mr. Ruebner authored a book titled <a href="https://www.interlinkbooks.com/product/israel/">Israel: Democracy or Apartheid State?</a> In an event for the book’s release hosted by <a href="https://thejerusalemfund.org/category/pc">The Palestine Center</a>—a Palestinian advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C.—Mr. Ruebner <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqvfPNDwF70&amp;ab_channel=TheJerusalemFund%26PalestineCenter">accuses</a> Israel of enacting policies similar to apartheid-era South Africa.

&nbsp;
Mr. Ruebner previously slandered Israel as an apartheid state in his 2013 book titled <a href="https://joshruebner.com/books/shattered-hopes/order-the-book/">Shattered Hopes: Obama’s Failure to Broker an Israeli-Palestinian Peace</a>. In a promotional interview with the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVcp4FkHcV-YGI7F-MsY-YQ">Portland Media Center</a>, Mr. Ruebner further <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU1fqAQBozo&amp;ab_channel=PortlandMediaCenter">accuses the United States of complicity in Israel&#8217;s human rights violations</a>.
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-11" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Ruebner-We-are-complicit-in-Israels-human-rights-abuses-.mp4?_=11" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Ruebner-We-are-complicit-in-Israels-human-rights-abuses-.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Ruebner-We-are-complicit-in-Israels-human-rights-abuses-.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
Mr. Ruebner alleges that terrorist attacks committed against America are directly linked to ties with Israel. In a December 2002 article titled <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/12/10/striking-with-impunity/">Striking with Impunity</a>, he states that America is guilty of war crimes for providing military aid to Israel—claiming Israel uses this equipment to commit human rights abuses. Mr. Ruebner asks the readers in the same article, how many more “towers need to fall?”—in reference to the horrific September 11th terrorist attacks—before America stops supporting Israel.

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

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

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

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

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

Mr. <a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/0031Q00002Ad6npQAB/josh-ruebner">Josh Ruebner</a> is an adjunct faculty member in the <a href="https://justiceandpeace.georgetown.edu/">Program on Justice and Peace</a> at Georgetown University. According to Georgetown's website, the goal of the Justice and Peace Program is to produce “practically useful scholarships on how to create a more just and peaceful world.” In addition to his teaching roles, Ruebner is a Managing Director for the organization <a href="https://www.ampalestine.org/about-amp/staff">American Muslims for Palestine (AMP)</a>.

Mr. Ruebner has served in the Congressional Research Service (CRS), which provides policy analysis on behalf of committees in both the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. As a member of the CRS, Mr. Ruebner co-authored <a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs1535/m1/1/high_res_d/RL30713_2001Jan05.pdf">The Current Palestinian Uprising: Al-Aqsa Intifadah</a>, in which he accuses Israel of disproportionate use of force against Palestinians. Ruebner has also <a href="https://joshruebner.com/jewish-anti-occupation-group-lobbies-u-s/">sponsored</a> congressional staff members on a trip to the West Bank to advocate cutting off economic aid to Israel.

In 2018, Mr. Ruebner authored a book titled <a href="https://www.interlinkbooks.com/product/israel/">Israel: Democracy or Apartheid State?</a> In an event for the book’s release hosted by <a href="https://thejerusalemfund.org/category/pc">The Palestine Center</a>—a Palestinian advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C.—Mr. Ruebner <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqvfPNDwF70&amp;ab_channel=TheJerusalemFund%26PalestineCenter">accuses</a> Israel of enacting policies similar to apartheid-era South Africa.

&nbsp;

Mr. Ruebner alleges that terrorist attacks committed against America are directly linked to ties with Israel. In a December 2002 article titled <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/12/10/striking-with-impunity/">Striking with Impunity</a>, he states that America is guilty of war crimes for providing military aid to Israel—claiming Israel uses this equipment to commit human rights abuses.

<a href="https://pediatrics.georgetown.edu/reitman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. David Reitman</a> is a doctor and Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at <a href="https://www.georgetown.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Georgetown University</a>. In a leaked lecture, Dr. Reitman advocates for administering puberty-blocking drugs to transition gender-dysphoric minors.

Slides from the lecture delivered to incoming medical students by Dr. Reitman—<a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/georgetown-catholic-medical-school-hormone-therapy-minors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which were obtained by The Spectator</a>—warn that gender dysphoria is a life-threatening condition that often results in suicide.

&nbsp;

Dr. Reitman notes that it's optimal to identify gender dysphoria before puberty to begin cross-sex hormone treatment. He states this will prevent “unwanted secondary sex characteristics” and the minor will not have to undergo gender-transition surgeries later in life.

&nbsp;

Dr. Reitman then claims the effects of the drugs are fully reversible and puberty can be resumed at any time. While acknowledging these treatments have serious side effects such as loss of bone density, liver damage, and infertility, he still states there is a net benefit.

&nbsp;

A common drug used in gender transitions is Lupron, which was <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designed to castrate sex offenders</a>. Even if the dosage is <a href="https://www.commonsense.news/p/top-trans-doctors-blow-the-whistle?s=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">halted mid-transition, children are still unable to undergo puberty.</a> 

The Spectator further reports that <a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/georgetown-catholic-medical-school-hormone-therapy-minors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Reitman then displayed explicit images of “top” and “bottom” surgeries.</a> This refers to either a double mastectomy (top surgery) or the surgical removal/altering of genitalia (bottom surgery) as part of the transition process.

<a href="https://www.law.georgetown.edu/faculty/dorothy-brown/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dorothy A. Brown</a> is a Professor at Georgetown University. <a href="https://www.law.georgetown.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Brown_CV_June_2022.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to her CV</a>, Brown teaches courses on federal income tax, critical race theory, corporate tax

As the author of “<a href="https://www.harvard.com/book/whiteness_of_wealth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Whiteness of Wealth</a>,” Brown alleges the American tax code was created to prevent black Americans from achieving financial success. As a result, Brown claims that wealth creation was sequestered for white families. 

In 2021, Brown was <a href="https://www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Professor%20Dorothy%20Brown%20Testimony.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">invited by the Senate Finance Committee</a> to deliver testimony regarding her research. She stated that America still suffers from systemic racism and the tax law only perpetuates racial inequity. She further alleged that Americans bring their racial identities into their tax codes, as the tax law was written alongside Jim Crow laws to benefit whites. 

“What my research has revealed is that because systemic racism is very real, all American taxpayers bring our racial identities onto our tax returns.”

During an interview with the Rockafeller Foundation, Brown further claimed that only “white wealth” can be built in America. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
“Our American system of building wealth is designed to build white wealth.” <a href="https://twitter.com/DorothyABrown?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@DorothyABrown</a>, author of "The Whiteness of Wealth," sat down w/ RF’s <a href="https://twitter.com/DanielleSGoonan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DanielleSGoonan</a> to discuss the inequities in the US tax system for Black Americans.

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

Professor Jeff Bernstein, Georgetown University, was a Master of Foreign Service advisory board member. Bernstein made the list after he responded to a Tweet sent out by Allie Stuckey that stated: "The #metoo movement is a symptom of a broken world." Bernstein chose to respond to this Tweet with his own, saying, "Wishing you a #metoo moment. Maybe then you won't be so insensitive." Bernstein has since apologized for the Tweet and has resigned from his position with Georgetown University.

The open letter—drafted two weeks after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack against Israel—starts by acknowledging the loss of life on both sides of the conflict. However, the statement of solidarity with Gaza goes on to say:
