<a href="https://africanastudies.rutgers.edu/people/core-faculty/people-list/30-faculty/140-brittney-cooper">Brittney Cooper</a> is an associate professor of Africana and Women’s and Gender Studies at Rutgers University.

Cooper has attributed most of the deaths from the pandemic to racism and conservatives, stating that, “I feel like most Black people are clear that this utterly absurd push to re-open the country is all about a gross necropolitical calculation that it is Black people who are dying disproportionately from COVID,” and <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/rutgers-university-prof-reopening-the-country-is-about-killing-black-people/">blaming Trump supporters for the hundreds of thousands of deaths</a> due to the coronavirus.
Cooper has previously stated that a conservative’s beliefs are “rooted in racism.” In an appearance on MSNBC, <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/duncan-schroeder/2020/08/30/deranged-msnbc-pundit-goes-hateful-rant-against-trump-voters">Cooper stated that conservatives have a desire for power</a> at the expense of black and brown Americans.

Cooper has denigrated conservatives throughout her career along racial lines. <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?444245-2/eloquent-rage&amp;playEvent">During a speech in Baltimore</a>, she stated that as white men lose their power, they will continue to “terrorize” black men and women. In a previous thread, she stated that the black community is being eaten alive by “capitalism, patriarchy, and racism,” and white people won’t feel any negative consequences of these systems so long as they can continue to displace white people through systems like gentrification.

Rutgers University

<a href="https://sociology.rutgers.edu/faculty/affliliated-graduate-faculty/541-kumar-deepa">Dr. Deepa Kumar</a> is a Professor of Media Studies as well as Middle Eastern Studies at Rutgers University. She argued on Twitter that the U.S. military is worse than ISIS. Kumar wrote on Twitter, "Yes ISIS is brutal, but US is more so, 1.3 million killed in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan."

<a href="http://womens-studies.rutgers.edu/faculty/core-faculty/143-jasbir-puar">Dr. Jasbir Puar</a>, a professor at Rutgers University, was invited to speak at Vassar. Her lecture was titled “Inhumanist Biopolitics: How Palestine Matters.” In her lecture, she accuses Israel of “stunting” growth of Palestinian bodies through scientific experiment as well as harvesting their organs.

<a href="http://www.kevin-allred.com/">Kevin Allred</a> was an adjunct instructor at Rutgers University. He underwent a psych evaluation after a series of questionable and possibly threatening tweets relating to Trump and the Second Amendment. He also went to Twitter after the election to complain that Rutgers had not publicly ensured the safety of students after Trump won. He also teaches a class called "Politicizing Beyonce". He was <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/11/21/rutgers-places-adjunct-leave-tweets-he-says-were-based-rhetoric-president-elect">placed</a> on administrative leave as of 2016

<a href="https://rcws10.rutgers.edu/faculty/Chikindas/">Professor Michael Chikindas</a>, Rutgers University, posted frequent anti-Semitic comments, at one point referring to Jewish people as “international fat Jewish pockets.” “These jewish [sic] motherf*****s do not control me. They can go f**k each other in their fat a***s - you see, I really do not have anything to loose [sic], hence nothing to be controlled,” he wrote in response to an article titled “The Globalists: Who Control Us!”.

<a href="http://history.rutgers.edu/faculty-directory/174-markowitz-norman">Dr. Norman Markowitz</a> is a Professor of History at Rutgers University. Dr. Markowitz is also an active member of the Communist Party USA since 1978.  He writes and teaches about communism using his “Marxist Perspective.” As a supporter of Obama, Markowitz said that it would be good if Obama’s policies were labeled socialist because it would bring socialism to the forefront and looked at more seriously as a viable option for Americans. He has been a longtime defender of the Communist spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, and has said he has “enormous respect” for Howard Zinn, a Marxist historian.

<a href="http://www.polisci.rutgers.edu/cb-profile/userprofile/whfield">Dr. William Field</a>, a professor at Rutgers University, sent out an email to all political science majors and minors to protest against Condoleeza Rice serving as their commencement speaker. He was also said to have congratulated one of the lead organizers of the protest who had damaged university property.

<a href="https://law.rutgers.edu/directory/view/mbk69" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Margo Kaplan</a> is a Professor of Law at <a href="https://law.rutgers.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rutgers University Law School</a> in Camden, New Jersey. According to her university biography, she teaches courses on “Criminal Law, Health Law and Policy, and Sex Crimes” and explores the “legal limitations on intimate decisions.”

Dr. Kaplan has spent her academic career attempting to normalize pedophilia. In a paper for the <a href="https://scholarlycommons.law.wlu.edu/wlulr/vol72/iss1/4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington and Lee Law Review</a>, she advocates for the reclassification of pedophilia as a mental disorder so that pedophiles may be awarded more civil rights:

“...we should not categorically deny pedophilia the civil rights protections afforded to other mental disorders without a convincing normative justification supported by cogent scientific evidence. Strengthening civil rights protections for those with pedophilia also increases access to treatment and support that helps prevent child abuse.”

In a similar piece for the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/opinion/pedophilia-a-disorder-not-a-crime.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York</a><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/opinion/pedophilia-a-disorder-not-a-crime.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Times</a>—titled, "Pedophilia: A Disorder, Not a Crime,"—Dr. Kaplan attempts a sickening effort to lure readers into sympathizing with pedophiles by characterizing pedophiles as adolescents with harmless, childhood crushes.

“THINK back to your first childhood crush. Maybe it was a classmate or a friend next door. Most likely, through school and into adulthood, your affections continued to focus on others in your approximate age group. But imagine if they did not. By some estimates, 1 percent of the male population continues, long after puberty, to find themselves attracted to prepubescent children. These people are living with pedophilia, a sexual attraction to prepubescents that often constitutes a mental illness. Unfortunately, our laws are failing them and, consequently, ignoring opportunities to prevent child abuse.”

Her intellectual sleight of hand is prevalent in both pieces. Kaplan blames the abuse of children partially on what she views as the severity in which society treats pedophilia, resulting in pedophiles abstaining from seeking treatment.

When later interviewed by <a href="https://www.phillymag.com/news/2014/10/06/pedophilia-not-a-crime-rutgers-margo-kaplan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia Magazine</a>, Dr. Kapland claimed to be “shocked” at the amount of support she had received, accusing critics she did have of not even reading her article.

<a href="https://history.rutgers.edu/people/faculty/details/1143-bray-mark">Mark Bray</a> is a part-time lecturer in the Department of History at Rutgers University.

Bray first gained notoriety in 2017 when he <a href="https://www.mhpbooks.com/books/antifa/">authored</a> "The Anti-Fascist Handbook," and offered to <a href="https://campusreform.org/?id=14972">donate</a> half of the proceeds to ANTIFA.

Bray fully endorses ANTIFA’s embrace of violence as a tactic, and often describes it as “self-defense”. He has <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9616">stated</a> that in order to “preemptively” shut down far-right events and gatherings,  “physical violence against white supremacists is both ethically justifiable and strategically effective.”

Soon after publication, he appeared on NBC to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/antifa-violence-ethical-author-explains-why-n796106">defend</a> the use of force against opposing protestors. He claimed that as an illiberal organization, ANTIFA has and will continue to shut down the free speech of the far right.

Bray recently penned an op-ed in the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/06/01/trump-antifa-terrorist-organization/">Washington Post</a> in the midst of mass-rioting following the death of George Floyd. After expressing sympathy with the looters, Bray claims that police officers are, in fact, deadlier than ANTIFA.  He wrote, “...and in the United States, ANTIFA have never killed anyone, unlike their enemies in Klan hoods and squad cars.” 

After his views were <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/red-alert-politics/dartmouth-president-disavows-professor-justified-antifa-violence-self-defense">condemned</a> by Dartmouth University - his employer at the time - Bray soon began lecturing at Rutgers, where his university biography describes him as a “historian of human rights, terrorism, and politics in Modern Europe.”

Ms. <a href="https://crimjust.rutgers.edu/people/faculty-directory/details/30-faculty/faculty/620-erakat-noura">Noura Erakat</a> is an Assistant Professor of Africana Studies at Rutgers University. According to her university profile, Professor Erakat specializes in fields that include international law, humanitarian law, human rights law, national security law, refugee law, and critical race theory. A harsh critic of the state of Israel, the professor has repeatedly demonized and called for the destruction of the only Jewish state in the world.

Professor Erakat’s work frequently characterizes Israel as a racist state that is equivalent to the apartheid-era South African government. In a November 2019 interview with DemocracyNow, she stated, ”<a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2019/11/19/noura_erakat_israeli_settlements_trump_announcement">we are witnessing the entrenchment of an apartheid regime</a>, and the U.S. [is] at the helm of that process.”

Professor Erakat repeats this false claim to justify her support of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. In a November 2020 video panel discussion with the Middle East Institute, Professor Erakat calls on the world <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S7ZkKMFUuU&amp;t=3956s">to resist and alienate Israel via adherence to a BDS platform</a>.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Noura-Erakat-Adhere-to-a-BDS-Platform.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

BDS—short for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions—supporters embrace the following three tenets as a feature of the campaign:

- Boycotting all goods that originate from the state of Israel;

- Divesting all funds (private or public) that are allocated to Israel; and

- Placing sanctions exclusively on Israel.

Mr. Omar Barghouti, a co-founder of the BDS movement, admits that the ultimate outcome of these steps is the <a href="https://twitter.com/StandWithUs/status/1267561561565958144">dismantlement of the state of Israel</a>.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
WATCH: The video BDS doesn't want you to see!<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BDS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BDS</a> co-founder Omar Barghouti admits that their goal means the end of Israel. <a href="https://t.co/wulUA5hqdE">pic.twitter.com/wulUA5hqdE</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Professor Erakat likewise calls for Israel to be destroyed and replaced by an Arab-majority Palestinian state. As reported by The Spectator in July 2019, Ms. Erakat spoke at an event in Washington, DC, where she <a href="https://spectator.org/noura-erakat-recounts-her-anxiety-over-israels-existence/">advocated for Arabs to “help indigenize” Jews in Israel </a>in order to achieve a sole Palestinian state or a “one-state solution.”

Professor Erakat is far more brazen in calling for the outright destruction of Israel when speaking at anti-Israel protests around the country. During one march in May 2021—captured by News2Share—she called for the <a href="https://twitter.com/FordFischer/status/1393739882825195521/">liberation of Palestine, “from the river to the sea.</a>”

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Noura-Erakat-From-the-River-to-the-Sea-.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

According to the Israeli newspaper Arutz Sheva, the chant, “from the river to the sea,” was <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/291203">popularized by terrorist groups such as the Palestinian Liberation Organization</a> (PLO). The phrase alludes to the destruction of Israel—and thus the genocide of the nation’s Jews—between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1948/08/02/archives/aim-to-oust-jews-pledged-by-sheikh-head-of-moslem-brotherhood-says.html">The chant is thought to originate from the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan el-Banna</a>, who was qouted by The New York Times stating, "If the Jewish state becomes a fact, and this is realized by the Arab peoples, they will drive the Jews who live in their midst into the sea."

Even though Professor Erakat can be heard calling for the “denuclearization of Israel” in the same speech, she had in 2013 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I20HOx5zfv0&amp;ab_channel=JFhsfohhMN">condemned efforts to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program as “racist</a>.”

&nbsp;

She further <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tv/CMzhsZtBfgg/?igshid=5p918cganhq1">defended this position</a> in a video uploaded to her Instagram in March of 2021, arguing there is no contradiction in opposing sanctions for Iran while supporting sanctions on Israel.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Noura-Erakat-Instagram-Edited-.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

During a separate march in May of 2021,  Ms. Erakat can be heard chanting “By spirit and by blood, we redeem you, Palestine!” in front of the Israeli Embassy.

&nbsp;

[video width="854" height="480" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Noura-Erakat.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

In April of 2020, Noura Erakat’s cousin, Mr. Ahmed Erakat, was killed after <a href="https://www.algemeiner.com/2020/06/29/palestinian-rams-a-checkpoint-death-lies-and-videotape/">ramming his car into an Israeli checkpoint during a failed terrorist attack</a>. Despite the publication of footage verifying the incident and a pipe bomb later being found in the van by investigators, Ms. Erakat continues to claim that he was murdered by Israeli forces.

Dr. James Livingston is <a href="https://history.rutgers.edu/faculty-directory/172-livingston-james" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a tenured Professor of History</a> at Rutgers University. His specialty is listed as Modern US: Intellectual and Economic History. He considers himself an “economic historian” and professionally writes many publications about politics, economics, and working in the United States.

In his personal time, Dr. Livingston often takes to Facebook to discuss similar topics, but in a less professional manner. <a href="https://pen.org/press-clip/white-professor-accused-of-antiwhite-racism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a Facebook post from May 31, 2018</a>, Dr. Livingston denounces the white race and belligerently asserts he “hates white people.” Later in the post, he calls white Americans “little caucasian assholes who know their parents will approve of anything they do” and “little shitheads.”

When Facebook flagged the post and took it down, rather than apologize for his racist rant, he posted the following:

Shortly after his anti-white tirade, Rutgers launched an investigation into his posts. The university stated that they received several anonymous complaints about the posts, calling them to take action against the Professor. Dr. Livingston claimed he was making a statement about gentrification and told university officials that white supremacists were sending him threatening messages.

The investigation was headed by Carolyn Dellatore, the associate director of the Office of Employment Equity. <a href="https://www.thefire.org/rutgers-investigation-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Her investigation found that</a> “given Professor Livingston’s insistence on making disparaging racial comments, a reasonable student may have concerns that he or she would be stigmatized in his classes because of his or her race. As such, Professor Livingston’s comments have violated university policy.” He argued, however, that his posts were not racist because white people cannot be discriminated against. He also argued that the first amendment gave him the right to freedom of speech.

The university initially decided to sanction Dr. Livingston, but they <a href="https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/2018/11/15/no-punishment-rutgers-university-professor-over-white-people-comments-facebook/2016377002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ultimately reversed their decision</a> in November 2018, clearing him of all charges. Dr. Livingston is still teaching at Rutgers University today.

Dr. Kumanyika traveled to Ferguson, MO multiple times to protest the non-indictment of the white police officer who shot Michael Brown. He was also a signatory on a letter supporting the demands from the Coalition of Concerned Students who believe in prosecuting what they call “predatory behaviors and defamatory speech,” even from social media sources. The letter also calls for building a new multi-cultural center, more support for “underrepresented groups,” increasing the number of minority faculty members, and for Clemson employees to go through diversity training. Chenjerai also orchestrated a campaign against a student senate candidate and accused a candidate of racism for posing with a gun and American flag for his campaign poster.

Dr. <a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carol Anderson</a> is the <a href="http://aas.emory.edu/home/people/bios/anderson-carol.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charles Howard Candler Professor and Chair of African American Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.emory.edu/home/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emory University</a> in Atlanta, Georgia. She has ascribed the passage of the Second Amendment to white supremacy, and accused conservatives of trying to make America a “whites only” nation.

Dr. Anderson is the author of, “<a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/the-second" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America</a>.” The book alleges the true purpose of the Second Amendment is the denial of rights to African Americans.

In a subsequent interview with CNN, Dr. Anderson claims the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/30/us/second-amendment-guns-anti-black-anderson-blake/index.html?utm_term=link&amp;utm_source=twCNN&amp;utm_content=2021-06-01T03%3A42%3A56&amp;utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">intention of the right to keep and bear arms was ultimately to empower militias to keep black Americans, “under the boot” of white supremacy</a>. At one point, she claims the second amendment is about “anti-blackness”, or antithetical to the well-being and rights of African-Americans:

<img class="size-large wp-image-1574 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-14T175033.334-e1631667053699-1024x356.png" alt="" width="580" height="202" />

She further states that America’s gun culture is fueled by a “fear” of black people and that “anti-blackness” courses through our nation's history.

Dr. Anderson first rose to national prominence in 2014 for her Washington Post article attributing the Ferguson Riots to “white rage.”

The unrest stemmed from an altercation involving Michael Brown and police officer Darren Wilson. Brown had been pulled over by Wilson over suspicion of his involvement in a strong-arm robbery in a nearby convenience store. During the stop, witnesses testified that <a href="https://nypost.com/2014/08/19/witnesses-say-ferguson-teen-attacked-cop-before-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brown attempted to grab Officer Wilson’s gun</a> before turning and running away. When ordered to halt, Brown turned and charged Officer Wilson, who then fatally shot Brown in self-defense.

Although Wilson was later exonerated for his actions,<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hands-up-dont-shoot-makes-wapos-list-of-outlandish-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Black Lives Matter activists promoted the false narrative that Brown was shot with his hands up while attempting to surrender.</a> After a grand jury declined to indict Officer Wilson, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2850383/A-town-ravaged-anger-pictures-extent-damage-buildings-Ferguson.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rioters and looters burned stores and restaurants across the city of Ferguson</a>, Missouri.

In the piece, Dr. Anderson <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ferguson-wasnt-black-rage-against-copsit-was-white-rage-against-progress/2014/08/29/3055e3f4-2d75-11e4-bb9b-997ae96fad33_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">insinuates that riots are effective as the only method that residents of Ferguson can utilize to make their voices be heard.</a> Stating the “real rage” is represented in the attempts by conservative movements and police to disenfranchise African-Americans. She dismisses the destruction as not a product of “black rage”, but rather the “latest outbreak of “white rage.”

The article was later expanded into the book, “<a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/white-rage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Rage, The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide</a>.” When Emory University featured the book on their website, Dr. Anderson further defined white rage as, “<a href="https://news.emory.edu/stories/2016/05/upress_white_rage_anderson/campus.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">policymakers and a series of courts systematically undercut the advancement of African Americans</a>.” Dr. Anderson would go on to author an article for Time Magazine accusing “patriots” who are afflicted with "white rage" 0f <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170421064019/https://time.com/4573307/donald-trump-white-rage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trying to make America a “whites only” county</a> and attempting to revive a “Jim Crow nation.”

Dr. Anderson regularly lectures at colleges and universities across the country. In 2021, it was discovered that Dr. Anderson’s work had been <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/gop-army-vet-congressman-seeks-answers-critical-race-theory-west-point" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in a lecture by the Army Cyber Institute at West Point University</a>.

In July of 2021, she made national headlines for her vocal support for teaching critical race theory in the military.
Ben Shapiro defines critical race theory—also referred to as critical theory—in an article for Breitbart, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as an “intellectual branch of Marxism that alleges American society and all of its founding institutions are infected with white supremacy</a>”. Proponents of critical race theory believe that people should take proactive steps to dismantle these institutions in the name of equity, which is also referred to as being “anti-racist.”
Authoring a piece in the Washington Post, Dr. Garcia boasts—<a href="https://taskandpurpose.com/news/defense-secretary-austin-matt-gaetz-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in apparent defiance of the United States Military’s announcement that critical race theory is not taught in academies</a>—that she does, in fact, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/07/06/military-academies-should-teach-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teach critical race theory to cadets</a>. She further describes her efforts as “vital” to understanding systemic racism.

Continuing, Dr. Garcia insinuates that racism is embedded in the Constitution and that critical race theory is vital to understanding this and the inequality that is, “endemic in American society.”
“Critical race theory provides an academic framework to understand these nuances and contradictions [in the Constitution]. It helps students identify the structural racism and inequality that has been endemic in American society. And it provides methods for deconstructing and oppressive beliefs, policies, and practices to find solutions that will lead to justice.” 
Dr. Garcia further cites several reports in an attempt to demonstrate that discrimination is embedded into branches of the military. Dr. Garcia endorses critical race theory to combat the “threat of white supremacy” amongst its ranks.
“In other words, racism was ingrained in the system from the beginning, and the military still struggles with these issues. As a recent inspector general’s report on disparities in the Air Force and Space Force pointed out, black {sic} service members lag behind their white peers in promotion rates but are over-represented in disciplinary actions. Further, a recent Defense Department report documented the threat of white supremacy within the ranks.” 
Dr. Garcia’s remarks drew a fierce reaction from lawmakers upon publication. <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cotton-rips-us-air-force-academy-prof-for-teaching-critical-race-theory-shes-trying-to-indoctrinate-cadets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a statement to Fox News</a>, Arkansas Senator, Tom Cotton, wrote, “We should not be teaching and indoctrinating our cadets to believe that our military is a fundamentally racist institution.”

In a congressional hearing, Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, stated, “we do not teach critical race theory&#8230;we don’t embrace critical race theory and I think that’s a spurious conversation.”
As noted by the Washington Free Beacon, <a href="https://freebeacon.com/national-security/navy-reading-list-includes-anti-racism-book-for-sailors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the military has begun subscribing critical race theorists to enlistees</a>, including Boston University’s Ibram X Kendi’s book, “How to be an Anti-Racist.” A battalion commander reportedly said to his troops, “i<a href="https://humanevents.com/2021/06/09/behind-the-beret-battalion-commander-reportedly-tells-troops-white-people-are-part-of-the-problem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">f you’re a white male, you are part of the problem.</a>”

As noted by the Washington Free Beacon, <a href="https://freebeacon.com/national-security/navy-reading-list-includes-anti-racism-book-for-sailors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the military has begun subscribing critical race theorists to enlistees</a>, including Boston University’s Ibram X Kendi’s book, “How to be an Anti-Racist.” A battalion commander reportedly said to his troops, “i<a href="https://humanevents.com/2021/06/09/behind-the-beret-battalion-commander-reportedly-tells-troops-white-people-are-part-of-the-problem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">f you’re a white male, you are part of the problem.</a>”

<a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Rush-Limbaugh">Rush Limbaugh</a> was a popular radio personality known for his conservative views. He passed away in February 2020 at 70 years of age after battling lung cancer.
On the same <a href="https://www.whitehodgepodcasts.com/profane-faith/]">podcast</a>, in the wake of Rush Limbaugh’s death, Hodge states that Limbaugh was “evil” and for “3 decades he spewed lies and hate.” He alleges that Limbaugh is the reason for all the “racists” that existed in the White House under President Donald Trump saying that they were “created by Limbaugh.”
Rhetorically addressing listeners that might rebuke Hodge for celebrating Limbaugh’s death, Hodge again states that he is “glad that Mother***** is dead.” In keeping with his characterization of Limbaugh as a racist, Hodge then expresses his hope that Rush will meet a “black God” when he reaches heaven.

<a href="https://weissman.baruch.cuny.edu/weissman-academic-departments/the-department-of-history/department-of-history-faculty/">Johanna Fernandez</a> is an Associate Professor of History at <a href="https://www.baruch.cuny.edu/">Baruch College</a> in New York City. According to her <a href="https://www.johannafernandez.net/">personal website</a>, Fernandez teaches US history as well as the history of social movements.
Riots and Violence 
Fernadez dedicates much of her professional life to teaching students about convicted cop-killer, Mumia Abu-Jamal. A founding member of the Philadelphia Black Panther Party, Abu-Jamal is currently <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/dec/22/the-never-ending-saga-of-cop-killer-mumia-abu-jama/">serving</a> a life sentence without the possibility of parole for the murder of Philadelphia Police Officer, Daniel Faulkner, in December of 1981.
Despite his conviction, Fernandez maintains that Abu-Jamal is innocent. In an article titled, “Mumia Abu-Jamal: A Black Radical Who Matters For Our Time” for HuffPost, Fernandez <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mumia-abujamal-a-black-ra_b_6621946">alleges</a> that Abu-Jamal’s trial was “railroaded” by the <a href="https://www.fop.net/">Fraternal Order of Police</a> (FOP) and that Abu-Jamal is innocent of murdering Faulkner. Fernandez further claims that Abu-Jamal’s sentence is proof that the police are attempting to silence Abu-Jamal, as the FOP views him as a threat to their power.
Describing him as a “black prophetic voice,” Fernandez also <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mumia-abujamal-a-black-ra_b_6621946">states</a> in the same article that Abu-Jamal can serve as an inspiration for today’s social justice activists and young black men. Fernandez predicts that Abu-Jamal’s work will eventually enact a “revolution.”

According to the organization&#8217;s website, the group seeks to “mobilize educators” and to educate students about Abu-Jamal’s life and activism.
In a 2014 appearance on Fox News, Fernandez further <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQwqxJ1YL0s&amp;ab_channel=eagfoundation">details</a> her efforts to teach about Abu-Jamal in schools. The segment may be watched below.

According to the news site, <a href="https://www.sfgate.com/education/article/Oakland-schools-to-reinstate-curriculum-about-5902037.php">SFGATE</a>, the group successfully lobbied Oakland Schools to adopt a curriculum that teaches students about Abu-Jamal. The <a href="http://urbandreams.ousd.k12.ca.us/lessonplans/mlk2/additional3.html">lessons</a> taught by Oakland Unified School District compare Abu-Jamal to civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. The lesson plan, titled Hidden in Plain Sight, <a href="http://urbandreams.ousd.k12.ca.us/lessonplans/mlk2/additional3.html">states</a> that assigning students to read about Abu-Jamal will “humanize someone who is only known as a “convicted cop killer.”

Fernadez is also known to organize letter-writing campaigns among elementary school students to Jamal. As the New Jersey-based online newspaper NJ.com <a href="https://www.nj.com/essex/2015/04/nj_teacher_suspended_over_third-graders_get_well_l.html">reports</a>, Fernandez and Marylin Zuniga, a former 3rd-grade elementary school teacher in Orange, NJ and now the Educational Director of the <a href="https://www.myceliumyouthnetwork.org/meet-our-staff">Mycelium Youth Network,</a> assigned students to write “get-well” letters to Abu-Jamal. Fernandez would later write that she personally handed the letters to Abu-Jamal in jail, where Fernandez states that she “shared a touching moment with Abu-Jamal in an effort to raise his spirits.” The Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3083563/New-Jersey-teacher-Marylin-Zuniga-fired-letting-students-write-letters-imprisoned-cop-killer.html">reports</a> that Zuniga was suspended and later fired from her position as a teacher by the Orange Board of Education for not seeking approval before having her students write the letters to Abu-Jamal.

Fernadez is also known to organize letter-writing campaigns among elementary school students to Jamal. As the New Jersey-based online newspaper NJ.com <a href="https://www.nj.com/essex/2015/04/nj_teacher_suspended_over_third-graders_get_well_l.html">reports</a>, Fernandez and Marylin Zuniga, a former 3rd-grade elementary school teacher in Orange, NJ and now the Educational Director of the <a href="https://www.myceliumyouthnetwork.org/meet-our-staff">Mycelium Youth Network,</a> assigned students to write “get-well” letters to Abu-Jamal. Fernandez would later write that she personally handed the letters to Abu-Jamal in jail, where Fernandez states that she “shared a touching moment with Abu-Jamal in an effort to raise his spirits.” The Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3083563/New-Jersey-teacher-Marylin-Zuniga-fired-letting-students-write-letters-imprisoned-cop-killer.html">reports</a> that Zuniga was suspended and later fired from her position as a teacher by the Orange Board of Education for not seeking approval before having her students write the letters to Abu-Jamal.

In a recording obtained by a confidential source, a distraught Mairs can be heard telling students that conservative senators will have to answer for their actions for having objected to the presidential election results of 2020, and that Black Lives Matter (BLM) rioters are actually peaceful.
The day after the riots on Capitol Hill, Mairs takes time out of her class to address the events of January 6th, 2021. In the audio, Mairs can be heard accusing Senator Ted Cruz and “a couple other people” of lying to the American people by <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2021/politics/congress-electoral-college-count-tracker/">objecting to the results</a> of the 2020 election, and “sticking with this charade” that election integrity was compromised.
Under the Electoral Count Act of 1887, members of Congress may <a href="https://history.house.gov/Blog/2020/November/11-17-Faithless-Electors/">object</a> to the certification of the Electoral College votes. Following the victory of George W. Bush in the 2004 Presidential election, Ohio Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones and California Senator Barbara Boxer <a href="https://www.cleveland.com/open/2020/12/ohios-stephanie-tubbs-jones-lodged-the-nations-last-electoral-vote-protest-in-congress.html">challenged</a> the certification of the electoral count for Ohio. In 2017, eleven separate Democrats objected to the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2017/01/06/politics/electoral-college-vote-count-objections/index.html">certification</a> of the votes for President Donald Trump. Both the 2004 and 2017 objections were ultimately unsuccessful, and the respective votes were officially certified.
After pausing to allow students to ask questions, Mairs continues by addressing the students that think she is “left-wing,” explaining that she watched 8 different news channels during the riot to ensure that she wasn’t receiving biased information. These stations include: Fox and MSNBC (both of whom she describes as radical), CNN, USA Today, Politico, Reuters, PBS, ABC News.  Mairs tells her students to ‘turn off’ the T.V. if their news sources are not describing the riots as an insurrection the way she does.

Mairs states that if “even Fox News describes what happened yesterday as an insurrection” then, “I don’t know what more you need to hear.” Robin warns her students about listening to “radicalized news sources.”
Mairs then juxtaposes the capitol rioters and Black Lives Matter (BLM). She says that BLM is “93% peaceful” before contrasting the heavy police presence at BLM rallies, and the lax response of law enforcement towards the rioters on Capitol Hill.

BLM has been <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/">implicated in a number of riots</a> around the country following the death of George Floyd. A report by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project stated that 95% of riots over the summer of 2020 were linked to BLM activism or had BLM activists present. The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion.">causing an estimated $2 Billion in damages</a> and 47 deaths.

Mairs asks her students to pause and reflect upon how this nation could be so “broken,” and wonders about what has changed over the past four years for the nation to be this divided. She then urges her students to give President Joe Biden a chance.

<a href="https://www.religion.ucsb.edu/people/faculty/rudy-busto/">Rudy Busto </a>is an Associate Professor at the University of California - Santa Barbara. His work is described as examining how “race structures state and civil society” and how the concept of race structures religion. 

As reported by <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=14987">Campus Reform</a>, Busto recently gave a lengthy presentation to one of his classes at the end of the semester in which he explained in detail why he believes that America is not an exceptional nation. He declared that “history has dispelled the notion of American Exceptionalism,” Busto listed off the reasons why he believed that America was no longer exceptional, including losing the Vietnam War and the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

<a href="https://www.religion.ucsb.edu/people/student/timothy-snediker/">Timothy Snediker</a> works in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He first rose to notoriety for tweeting about his desire to assassinate Jesus Christ.

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.

In the <a href="http://jcrt.org/religioustheory/2016/05/18/theodicy-of-money-the-scene-and-subject-of-forgiveness/">Theodicy of Money - The Scene of and Subject Forgiveness</a>, Snediker writes:

“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...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." 

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…”

“...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.....Christianity’s hegemony has not waned; it has metamorphosed and Metastasized."

“Christianity is the identitarian religion par excellence: it ceaselessly works to individualize, legitimate and commoditize one’s identity....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. “

"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."

Snediker’s vitriol towards Christianity exploded when asked what he would do if he could travel 2000 years back in time, he <a href="https://twitter.com/realBenLeBlanc/status/1287809540373778434">tweeted</a>:

“Easy. I would find and assassinate Jesus of Nazareth.” 

He then proceeded to double-down, tweeting:

“Theologically speaking, it would be really important to get him before his calling and ministry begins, so that gives me roughly a decade to make it to Palestine, locate the man, and make my move. I don’t want to be the heroic Judas avant la lettre”

Dr. Bucholtz ended her portion of the lecture by arguing that white students devalue inclusivity because they are uncomfortable with losing their place of privilege. She told teachers that they will need to be ready to “push back against their pushback”.

<a href="http://president.wayne.edu/cabinet.php">Ned Staebler</a>, vice-president of economic development at Wayne State, uses his social media to compare Trump and Republicans to Nazis, using the hashtag #NaziInTheWhiteHouse. After House Republicans considered reducing the power of an ethics office, Staebler said that Trump was fostering fascism. After someone pointed out to Staebler that Trump opposed the ethics change, and thus agreed with Staebler, he shifted the discussion to calling Trump supporters bigots.

<a href="https://www.lsu.edu/hss/religious-studies/people/finley.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Stephen Finley</a> is an Associate Professor of Religious Studies &amp; African and African American Studies—in addition to serving as the Director for the latter department—at <a href="https://lsu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Louisiana State University</a>.
Dr. Finley is a scholar and contributes positive articles about the Nation of Islam (NOI). He has <a href="https://laist.com/news/nation-of-islam-leader-hails-nipsey-hussle-as-a-prophetic-voice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">further praised Louis Farrakhan,</a> the organization’s leader, for allegedly brokering peace between gangs in an article for LAist.
A <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/louis-farrakhan-what-to-know-controversial-nation-of-islam-leader" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prominent black nationalist</a> that has led the NOI for decades, <a href="https://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2018/03/24/the-20-worst-quotes-from-louis-farrakhan-liberal-americas-favorite-racist-n2463869" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Farrakhan is known for virulent anti-white and antisemitic statements.</a> He has called for the formation of black militias, stating that “white people need to die,” and even praised Adolf Hitler as a “very great man” in a speech comparing himself to the Nazi dictator.
As a critical race scholar, the bulk of Finley&#8217;s work is concentrated on “whiteness studies,” itself a branch of critical race theory.
<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Critical race theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism</a>—also referred to as critical theory—that alleges that <a href="https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white supremacy infects all political, legal, and cultural institutions</a> in America. Many prominent critical theorists, including professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even claim that the <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nation’s true founding year is 1619</a>—rather than 1776—when the first slave stepped foot in North America.
<a href="https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-whiteness-studies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Whiteness studies</a>, itself a branch of critical race theory, examines the place of white people in modern society. The theory argues that white people—whether aware or unaware of their privilege—contribute and benefit from racialized systems of oppression. Therefore, critical theorists work to dismantle “whiteness” and the structures that underline it.  Another facet of whiteness studies—one that Dr. Finley subscribes to—notes that when people of color attempt to replace these systems, white people will oppose the efforts to achieve racial equity—oftentimes violently—in order to preserve their own racial privilege.
As the author of <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.5325/jafrireli.3.4.0443" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“God IS a White Supremacist</a>,” Dr. Finley, defines “God” as the current state that manifests as white supremacy in everyday life, particularly in the lives of black Americans. This state inflicts racial violence towards black Americans through institutions like the police There is no recourse for this carnage as this God-like state is “divine and above reproach” to many white Americans.
Dr. Finley is also a contributing author of the book, “<a href="https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.12657/46538/external_content.pdf?sequence=1&amp;isAllowed=y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Religion of White Rage</a>,” which alleges how white people go to great lengths to preserve their own racial privilege. Over the course of his chapters, Dr. Finley develops his own concept, positing that whiteness—and thus, “white rage”—is a religion to most white people.
Dr. Finley defines religion as a mechanism for people to comprehend their place and purpose in the world. In this context, whiteness is the framework for white Americans to position themselves apart from people of color in order to maximize the benefits of racial privilege that our society confers. This is done through a series of institutions that explicitly benefit white Americans—such as the police—at the expense of black Americans.
Dr. Finley posits that all whites benefit from and work to uphold these racist structures. Whenever they are challenged by the social progress of African Americans, white Americans will often respond violently.
The term that Dr. Finley uses to define this phenomenon is “white rage;” Whiteness causes white Americans to react violently whenever their privilege is challenged by social or racial progress.

The specific instances that Dr. Finley cites are the white supporters of Donald Trump and the “MAGA Movement” at large. He alleges that the rise of Donald Trump is a backlash to the racial progress brought on by a black president (Barack Obama).

He writes further that Donald Trump draws upon the “myth of the white worker”—or a nostalgic return to a mythical era—to “activate the white populace” to protect their privilege.
Rather than a fringe scholar, Dr. Finley’s work is openly promoted by the university.

Fair was the subject of a <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7dAQe1s5ZVka3hXLURodG1WQkU/view">complaint</a> filed by a colleague for “harassment, abuse, hate, and cyberbullying.”  After <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4069936/Georgetown-prof-C-Christine-Fair-went-meltdown-Muslim-ex-colleague-Asra-Q-Nomani-admitted-voting-Donald-Trump.html">Asra Nomani</a>, who is Muslim, said she voted for Trump because of her problems with Obamacare, Fair went on a month-long rant against Nomani, including calling her various insulting names in her native Urdu, claiming Nomani had “pimped” herself out, as well as saying "F*** you".

Fair is also known for her vulgar and carnal tweets directed at conservatives. During the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the fall of 2018, Fair <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=11369">launched</a> into a racially tinged tirade on her <a href="https://twitter.com/CChristineFair?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Twitter</a> account, accusing Republicans of enabling a rapist and calling for their castration in a series of tweets,

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

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

<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.

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.

"He whispers promises of protection with crossed fingers behind his back, and while we prepare to give him a chance, turning our heads from his proven history of lies, he will attack us bareback and ride us until we tear...

In an interview with C.J. Polychroniou, Chomsky <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/trump-in-the-white-house-an-interview-with-noam-chomsky/">states</a> that the Republican party is the “most dangerous organization in human history.” The New Yorker also reports Chomsky's claims that <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/noam-chomsky-believes-trump-is-the-worst-criminal-in-human-history">Donald Trump is a worse criminal than Adolf Hitler</a>.

&nbsp;
Socialism
According to the New Criterion, Chomsky frequently <a href="https://newcriterion.com/issues/2003/5/the-hypocrisy-of-noam-chomsky">praised</a> the left-wing government of the Khmer Rouge and has publically disputed the credibility and existence of the Cambodian Genocide. Committed by the Khmer Rouge and its dictatorial head Pol Pot, it is <a href="https://cla.umn.edu/chgs/holocaust-genocide-education/resource-guides/cambodia#:~:text=Lasting%20for%20four%20years%20(between,following%20the%20Cambodian%20Civil%20War.">estimated</a> that at least 1.5 and 3 million people died between 1976 and 1979. Despite <a href="https://gsp.yale.edu/case-studies/cambodian-genocide-program">detailed reports</a> of starvation and systematic executions, Chomsky denied that any widespread killings had taken place and accused reporters of repeating right-wing propaganda and sensationalizing their stories. Chomsky attributes the deaths to US imperialism and executions of subversive elements to the communist government

&nbsp;
Antisemitism
Chomsky publically defends individuals who engage in Holocaust denial. As documented in Robert F.

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

Despite describing themselves as an inclusive, civil-rights organization, BLM embraces radically left-wing policies and tactics. Some of which include the following:

-<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/blm-pressures-democrats-breathe-act-prison-abolition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abolishing prisons</a>

- <a href="https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2020/07/17/black-lives-matter-activist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abolishing police forces</a>

According to a <a href="https://acleddata.com/2020/09/03/demonstrations-political-violence-in-america-new-data-for-summer-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Federalist </a>found that “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the most destructive in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

The course is officially titled, “ENGL 101A: #SayTheirNames, a Black Lives Matter Literacy.” Students will be asked to study how American values are connected to “blackness,” and “whiteness.” Ms. Chan will then ask the following:

- How does social media allow for critiques of race, gender, sexuality, and violence?

- What does it mean to say their names as an elegy, an anthem, and a language to give space for talking about Black Lives?

The phrase “Say Their Names” is frequently chanted at BLM protests. The slogan is an attempt, by activists, to draw attention to black men and women who have allegedly been murdered by police. <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/08/28/sen-rand-paul-surrounded-as-diverse-group-of-cops-defends-from-mob/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senator Rand Paul was assaulted in August of 2020 by a mob yelling “[Brianna Taylor] Say Her Name!</a>”

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

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

Ellis then proceeds to ask Professor Salim what she would do if someone broke into her home and threatened her with a weapon. The professor responds that she wouldn’t call the police at all because she thinks her life would actually be in greater danger if placed in the hands of a police officer rather than those of a gun-wielding criminal.

<img class="wp-image-1354 size-large aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-05-14T142746.943-e1621027707788-1024x286.png" alt="" width="580" height="162" />

After the publication of the video by the Daily Wire, Cypress College <a href="https://www.cypresscollege.edu/2021/04/30/campus-statement/">released</a> a statement announcing that Salim would immediately take a leave of absence from teaching out of concern for her safety. Proceeding to release her own statement, Professor Salim alleges that the Q&amp;A segment was “taken out of context and distorted.” She further accused the community college district of allowing “racialized and gendered attacks” against her. Her full response is pictured below.

Cornell University

<a href="http://english.cornell.edu/kenneth-mcclane">Kenneth McClane</a>, a Professor Emeritus at Cornell University, believes that Republican faculty lowers the intellectual environment on campus, stating “--faculty at Cornell find the anti-scientific rhetoric of many in the Republican Party to be troublesome,” and “Many of us here are scientists -- we believe in global warming".

<a href="http://sts.cornell.edu/people/sbp65.cfm">Dr. Sara Pritchard</a> , a professor at Cornell University, has said that student evaluations of female professors are “pervasively slanted by gender bias” and thus prevents them from being more successful. Pritchard then goes on to say that because of blatant gender bias, female professors should be given bonus points in order to level the playing field.

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

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

Throughout his career, Dr. Rickford has delivered racially charged speeches and lectures. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU8G_neFEOY&amp;ab_channel=CornellReview">During a September 2014 protest at Cornell University, Dr. Rickford can be heard telling students</a> that each of them benefits from white supremacy.

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

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

&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/07/12/lights-of-liberty-vigal-remarks/">In an article for CounterPunch</a>, Dr. Rickford states bluntly that America was founded on genocide and slavery. He made a similar claim in a 2019 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl2deMaznt8&amp;t=240s&amp;ab_channel=TheColumbusDispatchTheColumbusDispatchVerified">speech</a> at the Vigil to End Human Concentration Camps in Ithaca, NY.

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

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

Jason McCormick is an <a href="https://www.unl.edu/english/docs/cv-mccormick.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">adjunct professor</a> at Southeast Community College &#8211; Milford and a lecturer at the University of Nebraska &#8211; Lincoln. His areas of interest include issues of identity, college composition, and developmental composition course structures. He is currently completing his PhD at the University of Nebraska &#8211; Lincoln studying rhetoric and composition. He also enjoys writing fiction and has written contributor pieces for publications such as the Huffington Post.<img loading="lazy" class="size-large wp-image-1688 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-26-at-1.14.57-PM.png" alt="" width="502" height="176" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-26-at-1.14.57-PM.png 502w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-26-at-1.14.57-PM-300x105.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px" />
In 2016, McCormick <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/im-a-liberal-professor-and-my-conservative-students_b_5842031de4b0b93e10f8e201" target="_blank" rel="noopener">penned an article for the Huffington Post</a> titled, “I’m A Liberal Professor And My Conservative Students Terrify Me.” In the article, McCormick outlines how his conservative students terrify him as an adjunct professor because “when they fail, it’s always personal.” He writes that he isn’t worried about his liberal students because they can have open discussions and work through triggers or disagreements together.
<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-1687 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-26-at-1.16.19-PM.png" alt="" width="438" height="193" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-26-at-1.16.19-PM.png 438w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-26-at-1.16.19-PM-300x132.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 438px) 100vw, 438px" />
His conservative students, however, are a different story. He accuses them of throwing out fake arguments with no validity or proof and being hostile towards anyone who disagrees.

He alleges that conservative students put their personal egos above respect for others in the classroom or factual arguments.

Besides writing opinion pieces on how “terrifying” conservative students are, he also often takes to Twitter to discuss his disdain for conservatives and his approval of critical race theory. In a tweet from July 2021, McCormick <a href="https://twitter.com/JasonBMcCormick/status/1413471823761592326" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commented on a tweet </a>regarding the University of Nebraska voting to oppose Critical Race Theory. He commented that the regents should “apologize to every student trying to get a job” because the opposition of CRT “makes us all look bad.”

Jason McCormick is an <a href="https://www.unl.edu/english/docs/cv-mccormick.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">adjunct professor</a> at Southeast Community College - Milford and a lecturer at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. His areas of interest include issues of identity, college composition, and developmental composition course structures. He is currently completing his PhD at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln studying rhetoric and composition. He also enjoys writing fiction and has written contributor pieces for publications such as the Huffington Post.<img class="size-large wp-image-1688 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-26-at-1.14.57-PM.png" alt="" width="502" height="176" />

In 2016, McCormick <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/im-a-liberal-professor-and-my-conservative-students_b_5842031de4b0b93e10f8e201" target="_blank" rel="noopener">penned an article for the Huffington Post</a> titled, “I’m A Liberal Professor And My Conservative Students Terrify Me.” In the article, McCormick outlines how his conservative students terrify him as an adjunct professor because “when they fail, it’s always personal.” He writes that he isn’t worried about his liberal students because they can have open discussions and work through triggers or disagreements together.

His conservative students, however, are a different story. He accuses them of throwing out fake arguments with no validity or proof and being hostile towards anyone who disagrees. He claims he was “terrified not to” give their ideas equal space in the classroom. He alleges that conservative students put their personal egos above respect for others in the classroom or factual arguments.

<a href="https://polisci.unl.edu/ari-kohen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Ari Kohen</a> is the Schlesinger Professor of Social Justice in the <a href="https://polisci.unl.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Political Science</a> at the <a href="https://www.unl.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Nebraska at Lincoln</a>. According to his University biography, his current research interests include social justice education, technology and racism, and “extremist challenges to liberalism.”
In May of 2019, Dr. Kohen accused members of various TPUSA chapters in the state of Nebraska of being white supremacists. In a post on his personal Twitter account, Dr. Kohen asks why the students and former TPUSA staff pictured are flashing “the same white power symbol” as the Christchurch shooter.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
This is a serious question for <a href="https://twitter.com/RepDonBacon?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RepDonBacon</a>: why are some of your former staffers and interns the kind of people who take photos in which they are flashing the same White Power symbol as the New Zealand mass murderer? <a href="https://t.co/cz214DaMJD">pic.twitter.com/cz214DaMJD</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Dr. Kohen is referencing a mass shooting that occurred in Christchurch, New Zealand just a few weeks prior to his tweet. During the March 2019 rampage, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-53861456" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a terrorist killed 51 and injured 41 Muslim members of two separate mosques across the city</a>.
In the left-most photo of the tweet, members of TPUSA chapters can be seen posing for a photo at an event while making an “ok” sign with their hands. Dr. Kohen juxtaposes the photo with a photo of the gunman making a similar gesture.
Many regard the “ok” sign as a euphemism for signaling the phrase “white power.” Despite persistence by members of the media, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2017/12/29/fake-news-daily-mail-uses-4chan-hoax-to-accuse-white-house-intern-of-being-white-supremacist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the “ok” signal’s connection to white supremacy is a myth</a>. The connection is thought to have originated as a prank from the site 4-chan in 2017.
Dubbed “operation o-kkk,” anonymous users were instructed to spam liberal media outlets and social media platforms to claim the “ok” sign is a symbol for “white power.” Users were then instructed to create anonymous, left-leaning accounts to retweet the prank, simulate outrage at the gesture, and further amplify the campaign.

After he was contacted by various media outlets over his comments, Dr. Kohen only proceeded to double down on his accusations. In a series of tweets, he accuses TPUSA and Breitbart News of “weaponizing the internet” over his remarks and again falsely accuses the students of flashing a “white power” sign.

In the same post, he furthers describes the same conservatives as “proto-fascists”:

He again insinuates that anyone voting for Donald Trump is a white nationalist in a tweet just before the 2020 general election.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

In a 2019 post on his personal blog, <a href="https://kohenari.net/post/181589676770#notes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he refers to conservative supporters of President Donald Trump as a “cancer.”</a>

<img class="size-large wp-image-1820 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-18T164917.831-e1637279374636-1024x325.png" alt="" width="580" height="184" />

In the same post, he furthers describes the same conservatives as “proto-fascists”:

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1821" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-18T165040.644-e1637279509781-1024x504.png" alt="" width="500" height="246" />

He again insinuates that anyone voting for Donald Trump is a white nationalist in a tweet just before the 2020 general election.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
In November, white nationalism is on the ballot. You can vote for it or you can vote against it. I’m going to spend the next 5 months reminding you, every time Trump winks at his Nazi supporters like he did today and the Nebraska Republicans have nothing negative to say about it.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In a separate tweet, Dr. Kohen expressed his disbelief that conservatives would consider a university campus hostile to their political views.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Turns out you shouldn’t believe the hype from right-wing state senators about the University of Nebraska. Conservative students feel just fine here, according to a Gallup poll we had to commission when higher education got politicized here last year: <a href="https://t.co/UWvwAK6LI1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/UWvwAK6LI1</a>

John S. Huntington is a <a href="https://learning.hccs.edu/faculty/john.huntington" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of History</a> at Houston Community College. He teaches several courses ranging from American History to Western Civilization, and he <a href="https://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/16253.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recently wrote a book titled</a>, “Far-Right Vanguard The Radical Roots of Modern Conservatism.” He has also written publications for The Washington Post.

In a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/01/25/how-conservatives-learned-love-big-government/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">perspective piece</a> for The Washington Post, Huntington claims conservatives are “ideologically inconsistent” and flip-flop between hating big government when Democrats are in office while loving big government when Republicans are in the White House. He asserts that conservatives abuse their power and state authority and that those abusive practices are “woven into the very fabric of modern conservatism.”

In <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/10/13/manipulating-elections-is-conservative-tradition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another perspective piece</a> for The Washington Post, Huntington accuses conservatives of manipulating elections, claiming it’s “conservative tradition.” He claims that engineering elections is part of conservatives’ political heritage, and the idea that Democrats stole the 2020 election is a “central pillar” of conservative politics. He argues that conservatives “game the rules to gain power despite being in the minority.” Huntington believes that the 2020 election wasn’t the first time conservatives disagreed with an election outcome or tried to steal an election.
When Huntington isn’t writing books or articles about conservatives, he often takes to Twitter to show his hostility towards the political right. <a href="https://twitter.com/johnshuntington/status/1352670676302311425" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a series of tweets</a> from January 2021, Huntington accuses Texas of targeting liberal professors. He also tweeted that conservatives “belly-ache” about ‘cancel culture’ which he believes is just them receiving criticism. The full tweet can be viewed below:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

Dr. <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/directory/tthornhill#CoursesOffered" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Thornhill</a> is an <a href="https://fgcu.academia.edu/TedThornhill/CurriculumVitae" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associate Professor of Sociology</a> at <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Florida Gulf Coast University</a> (FGCU). In addition to his teaching duties, Thornhill serves as the Director of the University’s Center for <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/ccres/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Critical Race and Ethnic Studies</a>.
Beginning in the Spring 2018 Semester, Dr. Thornhill began teaching a class titled “White Racism” at FGCU. According to the course’s description, <a href="https://gulfline.fgcu.edu/pls/fgpo/szkschd.p_showdetail?termcode=201801&amp;crn=12999" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Thornhill promises to examine the “racist ideologies, laws, policies, and practices that have operated for hundreds of years to maintain white racial domination over those racialized as non-white.</a>”
Following public backlash, Thornhill penned an op-ed in The Conversation to <a href="https://theconversation.com/why-i-teach-a-course-called-white-racism-90093" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decry the allegedly “far-right” news sites and “racist” blogs attacking the course</a>. He proceeds to defend his intentions to teach the class by alleging that racism is an “intractable feature” of American society.

Posing the question as to why the course is not addressing the problem of “black racism,” Dr. Thornhill states plainly that there is no such thing. He posits that since blacks do not benefit from institutional racism of the current power structures, black people, therefore, cannot be racist.
In a separate article authored for The Grio the same month, Dr. Thornhill alleges that white people, on the other hand, are <a href="https://thegrio.com/2018/02/16/white-americans-and-their-never-ending-relationship-to-white-racist-hate-groups/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">universally racist and benefit from white supremacist groups</a>.
In fact, he states that explicit evidence is not even needed to determine if a white person is racist.

The following semester, Dr. Thornhill taught a class titled, “Racism and Law Enforcement.” The course description states the class will examine, “the ways in which race, racism, and white supremacy relate to U.S law enforcement policies and practices historically and contemporarily.” Pictured on the front page for the course syllabus is a “Blue-Lives Matter” flag prominently crossed out.
