Professor <a href="https://www.grinnell.edu/user/ericksok">Karla Erickson</a>, Associate Dean and Professor of Sociology at Grinnell College in Iowa, is a “feminist ethnographer of labor,” a board member of the Grinnell Regional Medical Center, and as well as Grinnell College’s Day Care and Pre-School.

Beginning in 2015, Erickson <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/08/11/college-offers-cultural-dogs-and-american-whiteness-classes/">taught</a> a course titled “American Whiteness.” According to the Daily Caller, the original syllabus stated that “whiteness” is, “very bad idea,”

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

According to his <a href="https://www.marshall.usc.edu/personnel/shaun-harper" target="_blank" rel="noopener">university profile</a>, Shaun Harper is “University Professor of Business and Education, Provost Professor of Management and Organization, Clifford and Betty Allen Chair in Urban Leadership, [and] USC Race and Equity Center Executive Director” at the University of Southern California (USC) Marshall School of Business. Harper’s profile states that he “teaches MBA students and advises companies on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).”
In 2018, Harper authored a USC <a href="https://race.usc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Pub-2-Harper-Sports-Report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> titled, “BLACK MALE STUDENT-ATHLETES AND RACIAL INEQUITIES IN NCAA DIVISION I COLLEGE SPORTS”. 
For the study, Harper states that “Statistics are also furnished for each individual university in the Power Five conferences,” and mentions that “the report concludes with implications for college and university presidents, athletics directors, conference commissioners, the NCAA, journalists, and Black male student-athletes and their families.”
According to TheGrio, Harper wrote an <a href="https://thegrio.com/2021/01/18/martin-luther-king-inconvenient-truths-white-people/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “7 inconvenient truths white people must understand about Martin Luther King Jr.” Harper analyzes quotes by Martin Luther King Jr. which he believes are overlooked by white people in favor of the more popular quotes from the civil-rights figure. Moreover, he believes these quotes provide a call to action applicable to the current times. 
“King frequently called on white people to accept responsibility for the racial inequities they created, and to assume leadership for corrective action. Contemporary problems plaguing Black Americans are incontestable byproducts of slavery, Jim Crow, voter suppression, police brutality, and other acts of racial violence and exclusion. White people manufactured those. As King maintained, it continues to be their responsibility to right past and present wrongs.”
Harper claims “that the ways in which Donald Trump manipulated poor white people during his two campaigns and presidency undoubtedly would’ve frustrated King.” According to Harper, King “wanted whites and people of color to recognize how economic systems of oppression disadvantaged them both, and to understand that working together would significantly improve their chances of overthrowing engines of wealth inequity.”
Harper also claims that King “would want white Americans to know that the attack on the U.S. Capitol earlier this month [January 6, 2021] was an insurrection.”
Furthermore, regarding the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol in 2021, Harper says:
“It was a planned, organized, and violent rebellion. Disillusioned Trump supporters, most of them white, flew on airplanes and drove across states to attend. It isn’t the same as the mostly peaceful protests we saw in numerous cities last summer. The Capitol insurrection also isn’t the same as when frustrated Black people spontaneously (and at times unpeacefully) take to the streets following the miscarriage of justice.”
According to his <a href="https://www.shaunharper.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, “Foundations have invested more than $21 million into Professor Harper’s research and DEI initiatives. In addition, the center he founded and leads at USC has generated more than $13 million through its workplace climate assessments, pay equity analyses, and other expertly-developed DEI resources.”

<a href="https://dornsife.usc.edu/cf/faculty-and-staff/faculty.cfm?pid=1034060">Alicia Chavez</a> is an Assistant Professor of American Studies and Ethnicity at the University of Southern California. In her classes, Chavez forbids her students from using the term, “illegal immigrant.”

Censorship
As <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8518">reported</a> by Campus Reform, Chavez <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8518">taught </a>a course called, “America, the Frontier, and the New West.”  The course description <a href="https://classes.usc.edu/term-20163/classes/amst/">states</a> that the class is an “Introduction to an interdisciplinary study of American political, cultural and social life with a particular emphasis on the Western United States as a region.” According to USC’s course <a href="https://classes.usc.edu/term-20163/classes/amst/">description</a>, the course also qualifies the satisfaction of the core curriculum requirement for undergraduate students.

According to Campus Reform, Chavez sent an email to her class, via her teaching assistant Julia Chea, <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8518">ordering</a> students to refrain from using the term “illegal immigrant” on the course's final exam. The email reads as follows,

According to the Washington Examiner, Chea then <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/red-alert-politics/professor-bans-phrase-illegal-immigrant-threatens-students-exposed">discovered</a> that students who received her email were sharing it on their respective social media accounts. She then sent out an additional email to the students in her class that read as follows,

“Dear students, NONE of you have my permission to screenshot emails sent to the class so that you may post them on Facebook. Not only is it in bad taste, but you would do well to avoid violating classroom and university policies regarding confidentiality. Your friend has ratted you out.”

In a <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8518">statement </a>given to Campus Reform, an unnamed student who shared the initial email called the decree “just one of the many instances of anticonservative bias” at USC and represents an “attack on intellectual freedom and free speech.”

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Chavez for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

<a href="https://dornsife.usc.edu/cf/faculty-and-staff/faculty.cfm?pid=1008403">Darry Sragow</a>, a professor at the University of Southern California, attacked Republicans during a political science class. He angrily called them old, white, racist, “losers” and encouraged illegally suppressing Republican votes.

Charles H.F. Davis is an Assistant Professor at the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education at the University of Michigan. He previously taught at the University of Southern California. According to his university biography, Davis’s research and teaching focuses on, “race and racism, systems of oppression, and structures of domination in U.S. higher education and its social contexts.”

Davis previously rose to notoriety in 2017 for a series of <a href="https://twitter.com/hfdavis?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">racially inflammatory tweets</a>. As reported by <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/usc-professor-defends-tweet-promoting-violence-whiteness/">The College Fix</a>, he tweeted that “whiteness” must be destroyed and alluded to the necessity of violence in confronting it.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1308 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-04-21T135205.941-e1619038447297-1024x278.png" alt="" width="580" height="157" />

The background photo of his Twitter account at the time featured a black woman pointing a gun at a pig that clearly represents a caricature of a police officer. 

When contacted <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/usc-professor-defends-tweet-promoting-violence-whiteness/">The College Fix</a> over his remarks, Davis responded, “To be clear, I am decidedly against whiteness as a social and political ideology, which systematically marginalize and disenfranchise people of color from opportunities for societal advancement. In addition, I am against the institution of policing, which has historically and continuously enacted racial terror, sexual violence, and economic exploitation against racial minorities, women and LGBTQ communities, and economically disadvantaged working-class people.”

When asked if any of these tweets might make students uncomfortable, Davis <a href="http://hfdavis.com/blog/an-interview-with-a-conservative">responded</a> that any discomfort experienced by his white students is a result of their “white fragility.” 

Davis had previously advocated for the right of students to disrupt conservative speakers on campus. In the wake of <a href="https://badgerherald.com/news/2016/11/17/conservative-pundit-ben-shapiro-lectures-to-turbulent-crowd-on-safe-spaces-freedom-of-speech/">protesters heckling</a> Ben Shapiro’s lecture at the University of Wisconsin Madison, school regents approved a <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-university-of-wisconsin-protest-punishment-20171006-story.html">policy</a> to suspend or expel students that purposefully disrupt events. Davis’s subsequent <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-university-of-wisconsin-protest-punishment-20171006-story.html">op-ed</a> at Inside Higher Ed argued that this only reinforced white supremacy: “To be clear, it is a decision that reinforces institutionalized white supremacy -- and other oppressive forms of systemic power.” Davis argues that conservative speakers like Shapiro have hijacked the First Amendment to push “white supremacist agendas.”  

Davis’s website, which is listed by the University of Michigan on his biography, <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/51ab9fa0e4b06a38e604420a/t/5edaf71d1ab0434751b2e960/1591408468354/HF+Davis+%E2%80%93%C2%A0EPK.pdf">advertises </a>that he has taught the issues of “ race, racism, and systemic oppression in education and society” to over “7,000 students, educators and institutional leaders.” The <a href="http://hfdavis.com/">home page</a> of the site also features links to organizations that advocate for the Black Lives Matter movement, abolishing the police, and boycotting the nation of Israel.

Crocker Professor of Law at the <a href="https://www.usc.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Southern California</a>. According to his university biography, Dr. Armour studies the intersection of racial justice, criminal justice, and the rule of law.

As a critical race scholar, Dr. Armour’s work focuses on police brutality, mass incarceration, and systemic and cultural racism. He freely admits that critical race theory is included in his curriculum.

Dr. Armour is notable for his advocacy on behalf of District Attorneys (DAs) supported by George Soros while he served as a fellow of George Soros' Open Society Foundation.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/9-things-you-need-know-about-george-soros-aaron-bandler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Hungarian-born billionaire</a>, George Soros and The Open Society Foundation donate billions of dollars to progressive causes across the country, totaling <a href="https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/who-we-are/financials" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over $18 billion dollars over the past 35 years</a>. The Foundation’s operating budget for 2020 alone was 1.4 billion dollars.

The <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/12/16/how-george-soros-funded-progressive-das-behind-us-crime-surge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beneficiaries of Soros’s philanthropy are progressive District Attorneys who run on issues such as ending cash bail and “mass incarceration</a>.” Author, Matt Palumbo, has <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2021/11/08/matt_palumbo_how_george_soros_overhauled_the_us_justice_system.html#!" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documented tens of millions of dollars flowing from Soros and the Open Society Foundation</a> to campaigns of far-left DAs across the country.

Once elected, they immediately begin to decriminalize or refuse to prosecute certain “non-violent” crimes such as robbery, drug possession, and vandalism. This sometimes includes more serious offenses. The Soros-backed DA for Chicago, <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/10/decriminalizing_gang_bangers_soros_prosecutor_kim_foxx_declines_to_charge_five_arrested_in_fatal_gang_shootout_citing_mutual_combatants.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kim Foxx, cited “mutual combat” in her decision to decline prosecution of a fatal gang shooting</a>.

<a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/02/the-deadly-consequences-of-defund-the-police/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coupled with the nationwide defunding of police departments</a>, cities with Soros-funded DAs are witnessing record levels of crime. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/twelve-major-cities-with-new-homicide-records-in-2021-all-led-by-democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twelve major US cities broke homicide records in 2021.</a>

Officially titled the Soros Justice Senior Fellow of The Open Society Institute’s Center on Crime, Communities and Culture, Dr. Armour works not only to promote radical, criminal justice reform but uses his position within USC’s Law School to recruit Soros-backed, far-left DAs across the country.

Dr. Armour frequently hosts these DAs as part of his lecture series at the USC College of Law. One is Los Angeles County DA, George Gascon, who is known for his <a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/report/george-gascon-rogue-prosecutor-whose-extreme-policies-undermine-the-rule" target="_blank" rel="noopener">radical stances and failure to prosecute </a>serious offenses.

Gascon’s office has been criticized for <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2021/12/07/convict-arrested-for-murder-of-jacqueline-avant-as-l-a-faces-violent-crime-surge-in-wake-of-reforms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">releasing criminals who would later go on to commit violent crimes</a>.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aziluYm1Kbk&amp;ab_channel=USCGouldSchoolofLaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During their conversation</a>, Dr. Armour audibly agreed with Gascon as he claimed that the police originate from slave patrols in the antebellum south.

&nbsp;

During one point, Gascon compared the arrests of homeless people to confinement in a concentration camp, even stating that if a person is assaulted by a vagrant in front of their “million-dollar condo,” the solution is not to arrest or institutionalize them.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/My-Movie-1.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

A notable portion of Dr. Armour’s conversation with Gascon is when both described their efforts to elect progressive DAs in cities across the country. Gascon even bragged about how $50 million raised by George Soros and the ACLU was used to recruit and fund the campaigns of like-minded DAs across the country.

One DA singled out for praise in their conversation is the District attorney of Philadelphia, Larry Krasner, whom Dr. Armour hosted at USC’s Law School on two separate occasions. Dr. Armour has praised Krasner—who self-identifies as a “prison abolitionist”— <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfPSYQRHP9Y&amp;ab_channel=USCGouldSchoolofLaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as the most “transformational” politician in the last 50 years.</a>

Elected in 2017—<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyh5Il__MH0&amp;t=4s&amp;ab_channel=USCGouldSchoolofLaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">while running on ending cash bail and mass incarceration in the city</a>—Krasner has since overseen a record-breaking crime wave in Philadelphia, with the<a href="https://www.city-journal.org/philadelphia-breaks-homicide-record" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> city recording over 500 murders in 2021 alone</a>.

During a separate, Krasner bragged about his refusal to prosecute certain crimes in his jurisdiction—namely drug offenses—while in office. This decision has drawn criticism from prosecutors who accuse Krasner of failing to keep violent criminals off the street.

<a href="https://www.inquirer.com/news/us-attorney-william-mcswain-district-attorney-larry-krasner-police-shooting-cpl-james-oconnor-20200316.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US Attorney, William McSwain, attributed this policy to the death of James O’Connor, a Philadelphia police officer</a>. O’Conner was murdered by a career criminal, Hassan Elliot while serving an arrest warrant. Krasner’s office had previously released Elliot for drug possession, which was a violation of his parole, with no bail.

Dr. Armour further used the event to recruit for Krasner’s office. As part of his nationwide tour, Kranser used his platform to recruit Dr. Armour’s students to intern and eventually work in his office, which Dr. Armour enthusiastically supported.

According to his <a href="https://www.marshall.usc.edu/personnel/shaun-harper" target="_blank" rel="noopener">university profile</a>, Shaun Harper is “University Professor of Business and Education, Provost Professor of Management and Organization, Clifford and Betty Allen Chair in Urban Leadership, [and] USC Race and Equity Center Executive Director” at the University of Southern California (USC) Marshall School of Business. Harper’s profile states that he “teaches MBA students and advises companies on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).”

In 2018, Harper authored a USC <a href="https://race.usc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Pub-2-Harper-Sports-Report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> titled, “BLACK MALE STUDENT-ATHLETES AND RACIAL INEQUITIES IN NCAA DIVISION I COLLEGE SPORTS”. 

For the study, Harper states that “Statistics are also furnished for each individual university in the Power Five conferences,” and mentions that “the report concludes with implications for college and university presidents, athletics directors, conference commissioners, the NCAA, journalists, and Black male student-athletes and their families.”

According to TheGrio, Harper wrote an <a href="https://thegrio.com/2021/01/18/martin-luther-king-inconvenient-truths-white-people/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “7 inconvenient truths white people must understand about Martin Luther King Jr.” Harper analyzes quotes by Martin Luther King Jr. which he believes are overlooked by white people in favor of the more popular quotes from the civil-rights figure. Moreover, he believes these quotes provide a call to action applicable to the current times. 
“King frequently called on white people to accept responsibility for the racial inequities they created, and to assume leadership for corrective action. Contemporary problems plaguing Black Americans are incontestable byproducts of slavery, Jim Crow, voter suppression, police brutality, and other acts of racial violence and exclusion. White people manufactured those. As King maintained, it continues to be their responsibility to right past and present wrongs.”
Harper claims “that the ways in which Donald Trump manipulated poor white people during his two campaigns and presidency undoubtedly would’ve frustrated King.” According to Harper, King “wanted whites and people of color to recognize how economic systems of oppression disadvantaged them both, and to understand that working together would significantly improve their chances of overthrowing engines of wealth inequity.”

Harper also claims that King “would want white Americans to know that the attack on the U.S. Capitol earlier this month [January 6, 2021] was an insurrection.”

Furthermore, regarding the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol in 2021, Harper says:
“It was a planned, organized, and violent rebellion. Disillusioned Trump supporters, most of them white, flew on airplanes and drove across states to attend. It isn’t the same as the mostly peaceful protests we saw in numerous cities last summer. The Capitol insurrection also isn’t the same as when frustrated Black people spontaneously (and at times unpeacefully) take to the streets following the miscarriage of justice.”
According to his <a href="https://www.shaunharper.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, “Foundations have invested more than $21 million into Professor Harper’s research and DEI initiatives. In addition, the center he founded and leads at USC has generated more than $13 million through its workplace climate assessments, pay equity analyses, and other expertly-developed DEI resources.”

Following national coverage, LA Tech President Les Guice <a href="https://www.latech.edu/coronavirus/messages/campus-update-136/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">distanced himself from the tweet</a>, stating that McKevitt’s comment does not represent the University.
“&#8230;this faculty member does not speak for our University. There are responsibilities associated with the right to free speech, and threatening, harassing, and bullying speech is never appropriate. It is not representative of our values and culture at Tech.”
In a subsequent op-ed, McKevitt <a href="https://lailluminator.com/2020/10/19/wheres-louisiana-tech-loyalty-to-professors-whose-opinions-provoke-death-threats/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attempted to justify himself</a>, writing that he wanted to see Donald Trump recover so he can be arrested for his “many documented crimes.” Then, he continued, Trump would “spend the remainder of his days—may they be healthy and long!—in prison.” He further condemned the media’s coverage, claiming it was part of an effort to fire him and “chill free speech on campus.”
In July 2021, McKevitt asked where he could donate to the hypothetical senate campaign of Rand Paul’s neighbor. The now-deleted tweet references Rene Boucher, who attacked the Senator while he was mowing his yard in November 2017. Paul <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/sen-rand-paul-awarded-over-580g-after-he-was-attacked-by-neighbor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suffered six broken ribs and internal bleeding</a> from the incident and was awarded $580,000 in damages.

<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.

&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.

<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.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Jane-Lopez-Clip-4.mp4"][/video]

&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.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1980 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Untitled-design-791x1024.png" alt="" width="580" height="751" />

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.” 

The document cites University of Washington professor and author of “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/White-Fragility-People-About-Racism/dp/0807047414" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Fragility</a>,” Robin DeAngelo, to define “whiteness” as the “specific dimensions of racism that serve to elevate White people over people of color.” She includes three additional definitions to further define the term as:
- A location of structural advantage, or “race privilege.”
- A “standpoint,” or a place from which White people look at themselves, at others, and at society.
- A set of cultural practices that are usually unmarked and unnamed.
To learn more about Robin DeAngelo,<a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/robindiangelo" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> please visit her profile on the Professor Watchlist</a>.

Students are tasked with identifying and photographing three separate manifestations of alleged whiteness on BYU’s campus before uploading the assignment for a final grade.

The document was originally published by the student-led publication, “<a href="https://thecougarchronicle.godaddysites.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Cougar Chronicle,</a>” and <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/at-byu-all-you-have-to-do-to-get-an-a-is-be-a-racist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highlighted by TPUSA’s Morgan Zegers</a>,

Upon the initial publication, a professor now identified as Dr. Eric Bybee, threatened to report all students affiliated with the story to BYU’s Honor Code Office. Dr. Bybee further called for the administration to investigate the students for possible conduct violations. (The names of the students cited by Dr. Bybee have been redacted at their request.) The author eventually altered the article out of concern for his academic standing.

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).

<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.”

<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&#8217; 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)&#8230;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.”

<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.”

<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.”

“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.”

<a href="http://comm.unc.edu/faculty-and-staff/faculty/michael-s-waltman/">Dr. Michael Waltman</a>, a Professor of Communications at University of North Carolina, teaches a course on hate speech that blames conservatives for hate speech. His course description reads that it is designed “to expose students to the nature of hate in American life . . . [that] is sustained through the imposition of racist, sexist, and heterosexist ideologies."

Dr. <a href="https://asianstudies.unc.edu/people/faculty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dwayne Dixon</a> is a Professor in the <a href="https://asianstudies.unc.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies</a> at the  <a href="https://www.unc.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill</a>.

Dr. Dixon is <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-01-15/redneck-revolt-and-the-hard-lefts-call-to-arms/9303758?nw=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a member</a> of the ANTIFA group known as <a href="https://www.redneckrevolt.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Redneck Revolt."</a> Describing itself as a <a href="https://www.redneckrevolt.org/principles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“revolutionary” organization</a>, Redneck Revolt advocates for training and using firearms to be used for “communal self-defense” and the “right of militant resistance.” The organization openly declares they “are not pacifists,” and support the abolition of prisons, national borders, police, private property, and capitalism.

Dr. Dixon advocates for the use of violence and justifies the destruction of private property. Speaking to ABC News, he makes the <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-01-15/dwayne-dixon-takes-care-of-his-gun-in-his-workshop/9321726?nw=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"distinction” between destroying “inanimate objects" and attacking people after stating that the left uses violence in the cases of “resistance</a>.”

&nbsp;

In a lecture delivered at Harvard University in 2018, Dr. Dixon <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0dgg9dXLm0&amp;ab_channel=HarvardCarrCenterforHumanRightsPolicy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describes slaveholders as “white-supremacist capitalists” and analogous to corporate bosses</a>. Arguing that neither would give up their property peacefully, he echoes the call for “active resistance” by Redneck Revolt to achieve liberation.

In the same lecture, Dr. Dixon decries various conservatives who were extended the opportunity to speak at colleges around the country. He equates universities' embrace of free speech to the facilitation of the rise of fascism in America. Dr. Dixon further derides the “politics of passivity” of those who embrace the merits of debating all ideas within a university, stating the moral high ground is “for those who wish to drown in blood.”

In his remarks, Dr. Dixon is referring to a cadre of Marxist and ANTIFA activists that previously toppled a Confederate statue during a riot in Durham, North Carolina. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180907092632/https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/sep/6/dwayne-dixon-chapel-hill-instructor-accused-of-hit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Dixon has previously attended</a> and been<a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/unc-keeps-an-antifa-type-on-its-faculty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> arrested twice</a> for his actions at similar protests. His first arrest was related to illegally carrying a firearm during a march. His second arrest relates to his assault on a journalist covering the toppling of a Confederate statue.

<a href="https://www.mccormick.northwestern.edu/research-faculty/directory/profiles/butz-arthur.html">Arthur Butz</a> is an associate professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northwestern University. Butz is an open Holocaust denier and has authored a number of books and articles denying that millions of Jews perished in Nazi concentration camps.

In his book, The Hoax of the 20th-Century, Butz <a href="https://archive.org/details/HoaxOfTheTwentiethCentury/page/n231/mode/2up?q=23">claims</a> that there is no proof of any intent by the Nazis to exterminate Europe’s Jews. Butz <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Arthur_Butz">states</a>,

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1090 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-72-e1612455391943-1024x358.png" alt="" width="580" height="203" />Butz has <a href="https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/library/cyber/week/011097holocaust.html">used</a> his university-provided internet access to further publish his views. In an op-ed for the Daily Northwestern, he <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110608193504/http://www.codoh.com/butz/di/intro.html">claimed</a> that the Jews that did perish in the camps died from typhus, and there was no concerted effort by the Nazis to exterminate Jews. In the same article, Butz claimed that the Nuremberg Trials were needed to establish the “legend” of the holocaust, due to there being no physical proof of an extermination campaign by the Germans.

In a 1996 paper, Butz openly <a href="https://codoh.com/library/document/jewish-testimonies-in-the-postwar-era/en/">attacked</a> Holocaust victims, accusing them of “malicious lying,” and greatly exaggerating atrocities suffered by their families:

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

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

<a href="https://www.medill.northwestern.edu/directory/faculty/steven-thrasher.html">Dr. Steven Thrasher</a> is an Assistant Professor of Journalism and the Daniel H. Renberg Chair of Social Justice in Reporting at Northwestern University. His university biography details his role as having an “emphasis on issues relevant to the LGBTQ community.” 

Professor Thrasher is on record defending the riots and looting that occurred in response to George Floyd's death. In an interview with <a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/05/31/866306943/officials-have-condemned-violence-amid-george-floyd-protests-journalist-steven-t">NPR</a>, he described the rampant destruction burning of police stations by rioters as a "proportionate response."

Thrasher was previously the subject of controversy after his <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/05/nyu-graduation-speaker-calls-trump-a-fascist-praises-anti-israel-bds-movement/">commencement speech</a> at New York University, in which he called President Trump a Fascist and praised the BDS movement against Israel. It was later discovered that he had made numerous <a href="https://www.israellycool.com/2019/05/24/exposed-bds-professor-stephen-thrashers-antisemitic-tweets/">anti-Semitic remarks</a> on his <a href="https://twitter.com/thrasherxy">Twitter account</a>.

Dr. Sumanas Jordan is an <a href="https://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/faculty-profiles/az/profile.html?xid=41686#publications" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Assistant Professor of Plastic Surgery and the founding director of Northwestern Medicine’s Gender Pathways Program.</a> She has been performing gender-affirming surgeries at Northwestern Medicine since 2018.

The <a href="https://www.nm.org/conditions-and-care-areas/gender-pathways-program" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gender Pathways Program</a> is “committed to providing gender-affirming care to transgender and gender nonbinary patients.” A 2020 <a href="https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2020/06/gender-pathways-program-makes-trans-health-care-a-priority/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northwestern Now</a> article says the program “offers feminizing and masculinizing facial, top and bottom surgeries, as well as connections for hormone therapy, primary care, preventative health screenings and laser hair removal.”

Dr. Jordan was the lead author of a study released in September 2022, titled <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/article-abstract/2796426?resultClick=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Top Surgery and Chest Dysphoria Among Transmasculine and Nonbinary Adolescents and Young Adults.”</a> The study sought to answer the question: “Does gender-affirming top surgery improve chest dysphoria, gender congruence, and body image in transmasculine and nonbinary adolescents and young adults?”

The participants in the study ranged in age from 13 to 24, with an average age of 18. In a <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-surgery-transgender-teens-northwestern-study-20220926-2yrapzgitzatla6cnzv2xqhzvm-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chicago Tribune</a> article about the study, Dr. Jordan states:
“Our findings are that top surgery (to remove the breasts) benefits these teenagers and young adults.”
She adds that she does not believe all teens should be required to delay these life-altering surgeries until age 18:
“If you had any other medical conditions where you said, ‘I’m not going to treat your diabetes or high blood pressure until you’re 18’ or ‘I’m going to hold off on treating you for years,’ it’s not ethical to withhold care for that long.” 
In a <a href="https://news.nm.org/study-top-surgery-significantly-improves-quality-of-life-in-transmasculine-and-nonbinary-teens-and-young-adults/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northwestern Medicine press release</a>, Dr. Jordan states:
“Patients who choose gender-affirming top surgery feel better about their bodies, and it enhances their quality of life. Our hope is that this study will now be used as a resource for teens, young adults and for families who want to learn more about surgical transition options.” 
Dr. Jordan’s <a href="https://northwesternplasticsurgery.com/chicago-plastic-surgery/sumanas-jordan-md/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">biography</a> states that she “welcomes all gender identities and offers top surgery, vaginoplasty, and phalloplasty for transgender and non-binary individuals.”

Thomas Billard is an <a href="https://communication.northwestern.edu/faculty/thomas-billard.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Assistant Professor in the School of Communication</a> and, by courtesy, the Department of Sociology at Northwestern University. Billard goes by ‘TJ’ and uses ‘they/them’ and ‘he/him’ pronouns. He is the founding executive director of the <a href="https://www.appliedtransstudies.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Applied Transgender Studies</a> in Chicago and editor of the Center’s flagship journal, the <a href="https://bulletin.appliedtransstudies.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies.</a>

Professor Billard has been outspoken against legislation preventing children from receiving hormones and sex reassingment surgeries. After Arkansas became the first state to prohibit physicians from providing hormone treatments, puberty blockers, or surgeries to minors, Billard was quoted in a <a href="https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2021/04/whats-the-impact-on-transgender-youth-of-arkansas-ban-and-other-legislation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northwestern Now</a> article:
“What is happening in Arkansas is merely the latest instance of conservatives weaponizing health misinformation against transgender communities to justify discrimination. Arkansas legislators called their bill the Save Adolescents from Experimentation Act, but the fact is gender-affirming care for transgender youth is safe and necessary.” 
He continues:
“And outlawing that care will cost trans lives. Doctors know this. Trans people know this. Arkansas legislators know this. But conservatives exploit public unawareness of the intricacies of transgender medical care, peddle misinformation and then use that misinformation to justify prejudicial legislation.” 
After Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court, Billard was asked his thoughts on the <a href="https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2022/06/virtual-press-conference-on-roe-v-wade-reversal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">implications of the ruling</a> for issues such as trans rights, same-sex marriage and contraception access. He stated:
“When we look across the landscape of the conservative movement’s legislative efforts in different states, it’s part of a general program of attacking bodily autonomy and private rights to necessary health care.”

<a href="https://psychology.northwestern.edu/people/faculty/core/profiles/sylvia-perry.html">Sylvia Perry</a> is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Northwestern University. 

She also serves as the Principle Investigator for the<a href="http://www.sciplab.com/people" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Social Cognition and Intergroup Processes</a> (SCIP) Laboratory, which studies the spread of inherent, racial bias in children, parents, and communities. 

Perry encourages parents to discuss race, police brutality, and white privilege with their children. During an interview with the campus's news site <a href="https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2022/02/experts-on-black-history-month/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northwestern Now</a>, Perry decries parents who take a “passive approach” in talking about race. She alleges that children absorb society's racial stances and even toddlers can understand race: 

“If your child can have a conversation with you, they are old enough to start having conversations about race. As early as preschool, children start showing racial group favoritism.” 

In a study titled, “<a href="https://psyarxiv.com/3xdg8/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Initial Evidence that Parent-Child Conversations about Race Reduce Racial Biases Among White US Children</a>,” Perry accuses children of harboring innate “pro-white/anti-black” biases. Dr. Perry concludes that parents can help their children become “race-conscious” by eschewing “color-blind” stances and fostering uncomfortable discussions about racism.  

Another study—“<a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57b346ade4fcb5df8e55a622/t/5fd970632ef1c91c7feb6ac2/1608085603904/George+et+al.+Child+Development+LOI.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Raising an Anti-Racist Child: Black Americans Parents’ Perceptions of and Recommendations for White Parents</a>,”—alleges racial conversations are needed to foster “anti-racism” within children successfully. 

In his paper, “<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9545064/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Racial Socialization Messages in White Parents’ Discussions of Current Events Involving Racism</a>,” Perry praises the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement for raising white Americans' consciousness about white privilege, police brutality, and systemic racism. 

While acknowledging that BLM is useful in facilitating “color-conscious conversations,” Dr. Perry is still dismayed by the majority of white Americans whom she claims still resist the idea they benefit from their race. She concludes that researchers must determine how to better direct white people to discuss the aforementioned issues—namely whiteness—so parents are equipped to discuss their racial privilege.

Snediker’s animosity towards Christ stems from his belief that the concepts of the individual and capitalism, both of which he opposes, arose out of Christianity during the enlightenment in Europe.

“Against the standard left critique of capitalism, which presupposes a certain secularism and a certain atheism, one must rather grapple with the peculiar verve of a comment made by Giorgio Agamben: “God did not die; he was transformed into money&#8230;To the identity of Christianity and capitalism corresponds the identity of God and money….Today, it is simply not enough to be an atheist, because, in the last instance, everyone believes in money.&#8221; 
As written in <a href="https://jcrt.org/archives/14.1/snediker.pdf">The Autonomy of the Now</a>, he further expands on his position:
“Our hypothesis is that, under the brutal conditions of global capitalist hegemony, resistance necessitates the affirmation of the intrinsic instability and artificiality of identity…”
“&#8230;resistance to power necessitates a two-fold refusal of the authority and sovereignty of both Christianity and Secularism…”
“Secularization is the strategic means by which the West (which is to say, Christendom, or European colonialism, or, simply, Christianity) effects its accumulations, its appropriations, and its dominations&#8230;..Christianity’s hegemony has not waned; it has metamorphosed and Metastasized.&#8221;
“Christianity is the identitarian religion par excellence: it ceaselessly works to individualize, legitimate and commoditize one’s identity&#8230;.this is how Christianity was constituted as a privileged instrument of power”
“Resistance to power necessitates, therefore, a restoration of the autonomy of the now, which in turn requires a two-fold counter-strategy: one the one hand, an acceptance of the instability of identity and the concurrent affirmation of our becoming-other; on the other hand, a refusal of power, which, in the era of global capitalism amounts to a critique of the secular, or, again, a critique of Christianity. “
&#8220;Our imperative is to join the struggle for subjectivity, to struggle to speak truthfully about ourselves, to discover that relation to the outside which allows us, in accordance with Nietzsche’s injunction, to become what we are—to become, in a word, anti-Christian.&#8221;

Updated - April 21st, 2022

Dr. <a href="https://www.csusb.edu/profile/dny" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Yaghoubian</a> is a Professor of History at <a href="https://www.csusb.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California State University - Santa Barbara</a>. 

In a series of articles and interviews reviewed by the Professor Watchlist team, Dr. Yaghoubian excuses despotic regimes around the world, demonizes the nation of Israel, and praises the terrorist group, Hezbollah. 

During <a href="https://en.mehrnews.com/news/175145/US-led-propaganda-targets-any-govt-that-opposes-US-hegemony" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one interview with Mehr News Agency</a>—an Iranian-based news station <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20061227215730/http://www.adl.org/PresRele/HolocaustDenial_83/4868_83.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">notorious for featuring segments that dispute the veracity of the Holocaust</a>—Dr. Yaghoubian offers high praise for Syrian autocrat, Bashar-al Assad. 

The professor describes him—along with Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro—as a “popularly elected leader” who is unfairly portrayed as a “thug, terrorist, criminal, and often murderer” and is just following his electoral mandate. According to Dr. Yaghoubian, Assad is vilified by Western media in part for his refusal to serve as “lapdogs” for Israeli Zionists.  

Since the Syrian Civil War erupted in 2011, Assad has been accused of <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/10-000-bodies-inside-syrian-president-bashar-al-assads-crackdown-1406315472" target="_blank" rel="noopener">torturing thousands of political dissidents and prisoners of war to death.</a>  Assad <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/27/AR2007052701117.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">further runs unopposed</a> during each election, ensuring victory.  

Dr. Yaghoubian further maligns Israel as an apartheid state that is committing ethnic cleansing of Arabs. Launching into a polemic during an interview for Tehran Times—another Iranian-owned TV station—he states that <a href="https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/460714/Selling-out-Palestine-will-not-result-in-regional-security-and" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gaza is undergoing a “murderous onslaught” by Israel</a>. 

Dr. Yaghoubian further states that Israel forces Gazans to drink poisoned water. He even goes so far as to allege the “Zionist jailers” are placing Gazans on a  caloric-restrictive diet in their “open-air prison.”

Dr. Yaghoubian maintains that Israel directs America’s foreign policy to benefit the “<a href="https://en.irna.ir/news/83255687/US-academic-Pompeo-is-a-Zionist-zealot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promotion of Zionist colonialism</a>” across the Middle East. The same article claims Israel is directing the United States’s foreign policy against the terror organization Hezbollah, whom he praises. 

Founded in 1982, Hezbollah is an Iranian-funded and directed terror organization based in Lebanon that funds itself through drug smuggling <a href="https://centerforsecuritypolicy.org/hezbollah-the-worlds-leading-narco-terrorist-organization/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">with Latin-American cartels and cells in North America</a>. The group is known for<a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/profile/131/hizballah" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> launching terror attacks across the world</a> that have claimed American lives.  

Dr. Yaghoubian urges the United States to recognize Hezbollah as a “natural ally” for stabilizing the Levant. He further lauds the group for its broad domestic support and social services. 

This is not the sole time Dr. Yaghoubian has praised Islamic fundamentalists. While condemning the <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/irans-gen-soleimani-killed-in-airstrike-at-baghdad-airport" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killing of Qasem Soleimani by an American drone strike in January 2020</a>, a subsequent article by the professor praised him as an Iranian hero. 

Soleimani was a General in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)—composed of Iran’s elite military units—until his death. The group was <a href="https://2017-2021.state.gov/u-s-designates-islamic-revolutionary-guard-corps-as-a-foreign-terrorist-organization/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designated as a foreign terrorist organization in 2019</a>.  

As commander of the Quds Force, he was <a href="https://centerforsecuritypolicy.org/qassem-soleimani-ran-ied-program-to-kill-and-maim-us-coalition-troops/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responsible for Iran’s international subversive and terrorist operations</a>. It is estimated that <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/iran-responsible-for-deaths-of-more-than-600-american-troops-in-iraq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the deaths of over 600 Americans in Iraq through roadside bombs</a> may be traced back to Soleimani and the IRGC. 

In an interview following the strike, Dr. Yaghoubian <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220122014610/https://en.abna24.com/news/gen-soleimani-assassination-motivates-axis-of-resistance-to-continue-his-path-us-academic_1215378.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alleges that Soleimani was murdered at the direction of America’s “Zionist pied pipers.”</a> He claims the attack was carried out on behalf of Israel so that Zionists may continue to conduct ethnic cleansing in Palestine. He vows the “craven murder” will only motivate an “axis of resistance” against the United States and urges other nations to follow the “heroic” path of Soleimani and Muhandes, the other IRGC general killed in the strike.    

<a href="https://www.csusb.edu/profile/dny" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to his university profile,</a> his research includes work on Modern-Iran, Iran-US relations, national identity, and minorities in the Middle East. 

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Yaghoubian for comment but has not received a reply by publication.

<a href="https://www.polsci.ucsb.edu/people/christopher-sebastian-parker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christopher Sebastian Parker P.h.D</a>. is a Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara. According to his university profile, his academic specialties are “American Politics, Identity, Race, Ethnicity, [and] Public Opinion.”

In 2013, Parker published a book about the American Tea Party movement called <a href="https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691151830/change-they-cant-believe-in" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Change They Can't Believe In: The Tea Party and Reactionary Politics in America </a>

In the book, Parker draws “connections between the Tea Party and right-wing reactionary movements of the past, including the Know Nothing Party, the Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s, and the John Birch Society,” according to the Princeton University Press overview.

In 2016, Parker <a href="https://prospect.org/power/trump-s-racist-appeals-silver-lining/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote an article</a> for The American Prospect entitled “Do Trump’s Racist Appeals Have a Silver Lining?” Parker cites his claim that Trump is racist on the former President’s <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2015/07/08/donald-trumps-false-comments-connecting-mexican-immigrants-and-crime/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement about immigrants</a> during his 2016 campaign, in which Trump said:​​“They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” 

Parker claims a new racism has emerged to replace the racism of segregation and Jim Crow:  
“With the civil-rights laws that made segregation illegal, and the death of Jim Crow in the South, this old-fashioned racism gave way to a "new racism" built not on laws but on racial stereotypes.”
He also argues ,“Certain code words often accompan[y] this new racism. In the beginning, the term "equal opportunity" was often paired with such code words and phrases as “law and order" and "welfare queen.” 

In a 2020 article called <a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/check-your-patriotism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Check your Patriotism”</a>, Parker states that the African-Americans killed by police officers, such as Sandra Bland and George Floyd,  “were effectively lynched.”

Regarding the Fourth of July, Parker wrote, “this holiday is a sham, a fraud to the 13% of the population whose forebears were slaves. By any metric, Black people remain second-class citizens. Whether it’s life <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4984780/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expectancy</a>, <a href="https://www.abebooks.com/Black-Wealth-White-New-Perspective-Racial/30080054029/bd?cm_mmc=ggl-_-US_Shopp_Trade-_-used-_-naa&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwudb3BRC9ARIsAEa-vUtyzocLl5j6TVm8N2-Jl80c8sU2x6MN9ReTaS5blYnVIvE8Uz5OLygaAg4xEALw_wcB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wealth</a> or achieving a <a href="https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/education-postsecondary/reports/2018/05/23/451186/neglected-college-race-gap-racial-disparities-among-college-completers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">college education</a>, Black people lag behind whites. (I can easily identify other criteria, but space limits recommend otherwise.)”

Yet, in the following paragraph of the article, he claims that the solution “to get the country on the right track”, is patriotism, which requires sacrifice and “commitment to the values on which the country is founded: freedom, equality, tolerance.” He claims patriotism was the motivation behind previous American progressive movements like “the women’s movement, labor movement and the civil rights movement.”

<a href="https://liberalarts.iupui.edu/departments/journalismPR/directory/chris-lamb/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Lamb</a> is a Professor of Journalism and Chair of the Journalism and Public Relations Department at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). His university profile says that he has written extensively on sports, race, and media.

Professor Lamb has been very outspoken about his dislike of former President Trump and conservatives in general. In an article written for <a href="https://theconversation.com/texas-voting-law-builds-on-long-legacy-of-racism-from-gop-leaders-166807" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Conversation</a>, he states, “For several decades, the GOP has depended on racism to keep white people in power and nonwhites on the outside.” He says:
“When Trump ran for president in 2016, he used racially divisive rhetoric, calling Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists, proposing a ban on all Muslims entering the U.S. and suggesting a judge should recuse himself from a case solely because of the judge’s Mexican heritage.” 
He also claims:
“His campaign used the slogan “Make America Great Again,” which had been widely criticized for being a dog whistle to white people who felt that minorities were encroaching on their country.” 
Professor Lamb is very outspoken on his <a href="https://twitter.com/16campaignbites" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter account</a>, which features posts such as:

He stated:
“My take on media literacy will be based heavily on what President Donald Trump has called “fake news.” … his objective was to discredit the news media and therefore discredit any criticism of him and, in doing so, seize power in the way authoritarian despots have long done.”

In April 2021, Halverson wrote an article for The Conversation titled, <a href="https://theconversation.com/declaring-racism-a-public-health-crisis-brings-more-attention-to-solving-long-ignored-racial-gaps-in-health-143330" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Declaring racism a public health crisis brings more attention to solving long-ignored racial gaps in health.”</a> The article was written shortly after CDC Director Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0408-racism-health.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called racism an epidemic</a> that affects “the entire health of our nation.”

Halverson agrees with Walensky and writes that “drawing attention to the racial gaps in health care is an important step in addressing them.” He claims acknowledging racism as a public health threat “may require all health-related professional training programs to include structural racism identification, implied bias and anti-racism strategies within the curriculum.”

Halverson concludes his article by stating,
“Treating racism like the disease that the CDC says it is suggests boosting our investment in public health funding would be money well spent.”

“Our words and actions have power. By not calling out racism, we become complicit in allowing a culture of racism to continue.”
He continues:
“Having white privilege doesn’t mean that your life isn’t difficult. But it does mean that you aren’t targeted because of the color of your skin.”

<a href="https://pediatrics.georgetown.edu/reitman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. David Reitman</a> is a doctor and Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at <a href="https://www.georgetown.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Georgetown University</a>. In a leaked lecture, Dr. Reitman advocates for administering puberty-blocking drugs to transition gender-dysphoric minors.
Slides from the lecture delivered to incoming medical students by Dr. Reitman—<a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/georgetown-catholic-medical-school-hormone-therapy-minors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which were obtained by The Spectator</a>—warn that gender dysphoria is a life-threatening condition that often results in suicide. He maintains the only way to treat the depression of transgender minors is through surgery or hormone replacement to “fix” their bodies.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-2469 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.56.54-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.56.54-PM.png 534w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.56.54-PM-300x179.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" />
&nbsp;
Further, Dr. Reitman claims that even infants can understand their true gender identity. He instructs students to determine if their patients may be transgender by asking the child if he/she wants to grow their hair a certain length or play dress-up. 
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-2465 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.52.29-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.52.29-PM.png 534w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.52.29-PM-300x179.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" />

&nbsp;
Dr. Reitman notes that it&#8217;s optimal to identify gender dysphoria before puberty to begin cross-sex hormone treatment. He states this will prevent “unwanted secondary sex characteristics” and the minor will not have to undergo gender-transition surgeries later in life. 
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-2467 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.48-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.48-PM.png 534w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.53.48-PM-300x179.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" />
&nbsp;
Dr. Reitman then claims the effects of the drugs are fully reversible and puberty can be resumed at any time. While acknowledging these treatments have serious side effects such as loss of bone density, liver damage, and infertility, he still states there is a net benefit.  
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-2468 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.55.04-PM.png" alt="" width="534" height="319" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.55.04-PM.png 534w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-31-at-1.55.04-PM-300x179.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" />
&nbsp;
A common drug used in gender transitions is Lupron, which was <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designed to castrate sex offenders</a>. Even if the dosage is <a href="https://www.commonsense.news/p/top-trans-doctors-blow-the-whistle?s=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">halted mid-transition, children are still unable to undergo puberty.</a> 
The Spectator further reports that <a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/georgetown-catholic-medical-school-hormone-therapy-minors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Reitman then displayed explicit images of “top” and “bottom” surgeries.</a> This refers to either a double mastectomy (top surgery) or the surgical removal/altering of genitalia (bottom surgery) as part of the transition process.

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. 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.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1418 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-06-01T161707.390-e1622589488707-1024x376.png" alt="" width="580" height="213" />Many of Mr. Ruebner’s articles contain antisemitic tropes directed at Jews and pro-Israel Americans. <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/foreign-policy/285991-israel-lobby-to-push-for-aid-despite-sequestration-cuts">In his March 2013 op-ed for The Hill, Mr. Ruebner accuses</a>  attendees of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) of being “Israel-first lobbyists.” In a CounterPunch.com article titled “<a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2003/03/14/an-open-letter-to-paul-wolfowitz/">An Open Letter to Paul Wolfowitz</a>,” Ruebner claims that a “cabal of extremist Jews” planned the Iraq War.

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

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

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.

<a href="https://www.sas.rochester.edu/eng/people/faculty/mccune-jeffrey/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeffrey McCune, Jr.</a> is the Frederick Douglass Associate Professor of African-American Literature and Culture at the University of Rochester. He also serves as Director of the Frederick Douglass Institute for African and African-American Studies. A list of courses taught by McCune includes:

McCune taught the first two classes of “Politics of Kanye West” at Washington University. The <a href="https://www.coursicle.com/wustl/courses/AMCS/3016/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course description</a> says, “Coupling his controversial moments, with his corpus of musical texts…this course illuminates ‘Mr. West’ as a case studey [sic] for interrogating the interplay between fame, gender, sexuality, and race.

NBC News said, pending approval by the University of Rochester’s college curriculum committee, McCune plans to start teaching Politics of Kanye West by the spring or fall of 2023.
In his book “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sexual-Discretion-Masculinity-Politics-Passing/dp/022609653X?asin=022609653X&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sexual Discretion: Black Masculinity and the Politics of Passing</a>,” McCune discusses sex between black men who maintain heterosexual lifestyles and allegedly spread HIV/AIDs to black women. McCune writes in the Preface,
“Having been in conversations with HIV/AIDS epidemic researchers and practitioners…I knew that this discourse had all the ingredients of not only creating moral/cultural panic, but irresponsibly marking black DL [“down-low”] men as sexual suspects who are the new vectors of contagion. Furthermore, the manipulation of black female representation had all the telltale signs of another moment of painting these women as victims without sexual agency.”
He continues,
“[M]y prophetic vision took hold of my academic trajectory — conjuring a desire not to prove wrong or challenge the discursive constructs of these men, but to gain a richer understanding of the complexity of their lives in the midst of public scrutiny. And in doing so, I was called out of my own position of discretion.”

All of that is robust and deserves to be studied seriously.”

<a href="https://www.sas.rochester.edu/eng/people/faculty/mccune-jeffrey/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeffrey McCune, Jr.</a> is the Frederick Douglass Associate Professor of African-American Literature and Culture at the University of Rochester. He also serves as Director of the Frederick Douglass Institute for African and African-American Studies. A list of courses taught by McCune includes:
<ul>

On October 19, 2022, McCune made headlines as <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/controversies-one-college-professor-says-s-value-teaching-students-kan-rcna52592" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News reported</a> his “hopes to launch his third class on Ye [Kanye West] focusing on the rapper’s artistry, influence and political views as a way to teach complex topics to college students.” The source also said McCune “sees Ye’s erratic behavior as an entry point into exploring white evangelical Christianity in Black culture and how it can foster anti-Blackness.”

McCune taught the first two classes of “Politics of Kanye West” at Washington University. The <a href="https://www.coursicle.com/wustl/courses/AMCS/3016/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course description</a> says, “Coupling his controversial moments, with his corpus of musical texts…this course illuminates ‘Mr. West’ as a case studey [sic] for interrogating the interplay between fame, gender, sexuality, and race. Mostly, we explore how racialized ways of doing iconography…creates a reductive frame through which we see the black and famous.”

<a href="http://gilian.tenbergen.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Gilian Tenbergen</a> is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the State University of New York (SUNY) &#8211; Oswego. She further directs the Sexual Neuroendocrinology (SENEU) Lab and serves on the <a href="https://prostasia.org/our-team/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advisory Council of the Prostasia Foundation</a>. Through both organizations, Dr. Tenbergen provides support and resources to what she refers to as Minor Attracted Persons (MAP). 
The term, “MAP,” is considered to be less stigmatizing as Dr. Tenbergen believes that pedophiles face too much stigmatization, and seeks to differentiate between pedophiles who act on their impulses and those who do not. She believes this distinction can be used to prevent the sexual exploitation of children if a pedophile is not stigmatized. 
In an article for Protasia, she details her approach to <a href="https://prostasia.org/blog/how-maps-can-obtain-help-not-to-offend/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">treating pedophiles so they may lead “law-abiding, offense-free, fulfilling lives.&#8221;</a> Dr. Tenbergen writes the common belief that “all pedophiles/MAPs will eventually offend” is not true, but ensures her readers that many “MAPs” are dedicated to preventing sexual abuse. She cites a number of organizations, including the Virtuous Pedophiles, the Prevention Project, and Troubled Desire, as evidence that not all pedophiles offend.  
In the same article, Dr. Tenbergen appears to blame the scrutiny of pedophilia for driving people to commit child sexual abuse (CSA) and consume child sexual exploitation material (CSEM). She writes that many are victims of society’s stigma, which prevents them from seeking help before they offend.  
“But for those in the middle, who may be just looking for information about pedophilia/minor attraction, or who may be actually considering engaging in CSA/CSEM use, we pretend they don’t exist. We actually go so far as a society as to prevent them from seeking help, from obtaining information, from living good lives. What should we do in this circumstance? How can we together improve CSA/CSEM prevention and protect children?”

She later writes this would include teaching children chronophilias, or the attraction to a person in a separate age range, as part of a “comprehensive, intersectional sex education.” 
The organization further hosts articles advocating <a href="https://prostasia.org/blog/how-the-registry-harms-families/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">against sex offender registry laws</a> and detailing how to avoid detection by law enforcement when engaging in “<a href="https://prostasia.org/blog/online-ageplay-safety-tips/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ageplay</a>.”

<a href="https://www.uwp.edu/learn/instructorprofiles/facultystaffdetail.cfm?uid=dana">Seif Da’na</a> is a professor and Associate Dean at the University of Wisconsin &#8211; Parkside.  Da’na has lectured that <a href="https://dailynorthwestern.com/2015/05/15/campus/university-of-wisconsin-parkside-professor-discusses-israeli-colonialism-zionism-on-eve-of-nakba-day/">Israel is a racist, colonial state conducting ethnic genocides in the Middle East</a>. He regularly makes media appearances on outlets like NowThisNews–often <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44_TMreiuF8&amp;ab_channel=TheRealNewsNetwork">running cover for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt</a>.
While <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/wisconsin-professor-claims-western-economics-deadlier-than-coronavirus">appearing on the Lebanese-based Manar TV</a>, Da’na supported the Chinese government&#8217;s claim that the Coronavirus in fact originated in the United States and was deliberately released.

During the same appearance, Da’na downplayed the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic—describing them as inconsequential to the damage that Western nations inflict on the rest of the world.

Da’na also bizarrely claimed that “Hitler did not do anything out of the ordinary,” minimizing his atrocities when compared to other Western nations.

When contacted by various outlets, Da’na defended his comments, claiming with hubris that he had always stood against bigotry, including “Nazism and Fascism.” It should be noted that the station on which Da’na made his controversial remarks is aligned with <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/profile/131/hizballah">Hezbollah</a>, whose founder <a href="https://www.camera.org/article/hassan-nasrallah-in-his-own-words/">Hassan Nasrallah</a> is often quoted by the media expressing his desire to kill as many Jews as possible.

<a href="https://profiles.ucsf.edu/jack.turban" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Jack Turban</a> is an Assistant Professor in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at The University of California, San Francisco. 
In addition to his teaching and commentary, Turban is the author of the textbook, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pediatric-Gender-Identity-Gender-affirming-Transgender/dp/3030389081" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pediatric Gender identity: Gender-Affirming Care for Transgender &amp; Gender Diverse Youth</a>.” According to the description, Turban outlines methods for gender-affirming care for pediatrics to follow. As stated on his <a href="https://www.jackturban.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal site</a>, Turban is a sought-after commentator and regularly appears in the New York Times and The Washington Post, amongst other publications.  
Dr. Turban’s biography describes his research as focused on the mental health of “transgender and gender diverse youth.” He’s advocated for gender transitions and puberty blockers for minors. He urges trans-men to compete in women’s sporting leagues, and accused his critics of being “anti-science.” 
In an article for the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220422201159/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/08/opinion/sunday/hannah-is-a-girl-doctors-finally-treat-her-like-one.html?searchResultPosition=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a>, Dr. Turban celebrates the transition of a 14-year-old boy named “Hannah.” Although acknowledging the teenager was born as a biological male, Dr. Turban claims that he is now living as his “true self.” 
Labeling puberty a “dangerous time for transgender youth,” Dr. Turban praises the use of cross-sex hormones. He claims that these drugs are easily reversible and Hannah may resume puberty whenever he wishes. 
“The puberty blocker is the first step. In the unlikely event that a child were to change her mind about being transgender, we could remove the implant, and she would then go through male puberty.
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> Despite this, Dr. Turban advocates beginning cross-sex hormones on children as young as 14 to spare them the “stigma” of puberty.
In a tweet on his personal account, Turban claims that it is far more dangerous to allow teenagers to undergo puberty than to allow them to take hormones to halt it. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Puberty blockers (temporary, reversible) are more benign than going through a puberty that can’t be undone.
If you can’t see that, then you really need to reflect on your biases and whether you consider <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/trans?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#trans</a> people *at all* when you form your opinions.
— Jack Turban MD 🏳️‍⚧️🧠🏳️‍🌈 (@jack_turban) <a href="https://twitter.com/jack_turban/status/1514694985261617169?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">April 14, 2022</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
Turban believes that parents who object to their child’s transition are reacting out of fear of “<a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23281683/trans-kids-transition-medicine-surgery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gender nonconformity.</a>” He goes so far as to accuse other critics of denying science due to their transphobia.
In an op-ed for CNN, titled, “<a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23281683/trans-kids-transition-medicine-surgery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Attacks on Trans People Are Also Attacks on Science Itself,” </a>Turban claims that trans people prove the science behind gender transition by “virtue of existing.” He writes that trans people are “natural manifestations of human diversity” whose expertise is invaluable to his field. 
Turban further claims there is little to no evidence that gender identity is determined by one’s genitalia or chromosomes. Rather, he writes that “our conscious brains” determine our gender and that is where our gender identity ultimately lies: 
As any trans person could tell you, we don’t need these [SIC] biological data to justify our humanity, but they do empirically defang anti-trans ideology. 
In an article for <a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23281683/trans-kids-transition-medicine-surgery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scientific American</a>, Turban continues to dismiss scientific evidence and advocates for trans-men to have the freedom to compete on female teams. Turban accuses critics of driving transgender athletes to anxiety, depression, and homelessness by excluding them from women’s teams. 
“(Transgender athletes) suffer from higher rates of bullying, anxiety and depression—all of which make it more difficult for them to train and compete. They also have high rights of homelessness and poverty because of common experiences of family rejection.”
In 2022, <a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23281683/trans-kids-transition-medicine-surgery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Review</a> reported that Turban’s work is indirectly funded by pharmaceutical companies that manufacture puberty blockers.
