<a href="https://www.uab.edu/cas/anthropology/people/faculty-directory/122-sara-h-parcak">Sarah H. Parcak</a> is a Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Alabama-Birmingham (UAB). According to her university bio, Professor Parcak’s research and teaching interests include archaeology, archaeological science, and Egyptology.
Professor Parcak is known for her partisan use of her personal <a href="https://twitter.com/indyfromspace?lang=en">Twitter</a> account to attack conservatives and call for the tearing down of monuments.
As The Daily Caller documents, riots <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/08/25/list-of-cities-riots-three-months-george-floyd-death-looting-fires-police-seattle-portland-dc-atlanta/">broke out</a> in dozens of cities during the summer months of 2020. According to data from the Insurance Information Institute, the riots are the <a href="https://www.iii.org/fact-statistic/facts-statistics-civil-disorders">most destructive</a> in the history of the nation, resulting in $2 billion in estimated damages nationwide as of March 2021. According to The Federalist, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/">47 deaths</a> may be attributed to the riots.
On May 31, in the midst of the destruction, Professor Parcak tweeted instructions for protestors to follow when tearing down national monuments. Parcak <a href="https://twitter.com/indyfromspace/status/1267271817439346689">offers</a> her expertise as an Egyptologist to any rioters interested in pulling down statues.

Parcak then <a href="https://twitter.com/indyfromspace/status/1267273933746774022">tweets</a> a crudely drawn depiction of what appears to be the Washington Monument as an example of a “racist” monument to destroy.

On the day of the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Parcak <a href="https://twitter.com/indyfromspace/status/1307104389962838022">tweeted</a> praise for the Justice, describes her as an “icon.”
<a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ruth-Bader-Ginsburg">Ruth Bader Ginsburg</a> served as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, serving as only the second woman ever on the court. She died on September 18, 2020.

Conversely, on the day of Rush Limbaugh’s passing, Parcak immediately took to Twitter to celebrate his death. As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/here-are-the-professors-disparaging-rush-limbaughs-passing">reports</a>, Parcak refers to Limbaugh as a “piece of scum,” and expresses her hope that he “suffered until his last breath” in a now-deleted tweet.
“When a terrible piece of scum who caused immeasurable harm to millions dies, there is no sympathy. Only a desire that they suffered until their last breath.” 
<a href="https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/">Rush Limbaugh</a> was a popular radio personality known for his conservative views. He passed away in February 2021 at 70 years of age after battling lung cancer.  In an interview with Fox News after Limaugh’s passing, President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.air.tv/watch?v=hmCt0LrlSx6qndGAzaFjzw">described</a> him as a “great gentleman” and a “great man.”
In response to Parcak’s statement, <a href="https://www.al.com/news/2021/02/sarah-parcak-rush-limbaugh-controversy-alabama-gop-chief-calls-out-uab-professors-antics.html">AL.com</a> reports that President University of Alabama-Birmingham, Ray Watts, <a href="https://www.al.com/news/2021/02/sarah-parcak-rush-limbaugh-controversy-alabama-gop-chief-calls-out-uab-professors-antics.html">condemned</a> Parcak’s tweet about Limbaugh, stating that the university is “disgusted” of what Watt characterizes as “blindly inhumane and cruel.”
“UAB is disgusted and extremely troubled that Sarah Parcak would tweet something so unprofessional and blindly inhumane and cruel. Her poor judgment is completely counter to our shared values as an institution that include integrity and respect. She absolutely does not speak for our university, and we are reviewing the matter”
In response to an <a href="https://www.al.com/news/2021/02/sarah-parcak-rush-limbaugh-controversy-alabama-gop-chief-calls-out-uab-professors-antics.html">inquiry</a> by the site AL.com about Parcak’s statement condemning Limbaugh, UAB spokesperson Alicia Roberston describes the incident as a “personal matter.” and that the university is “continuing to review the matter.”
The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Parcak for comment, but have not received an answer by the time of publication.

<a href="https://education.uky.edu/profile/candice-crowell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Candice N. Hargons</a> (formerly Crowell) is an Associate Professor in the <a href="https://education.uky.edu/edp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Educational, School, and Counseling Psychology</a> at the <a href="https://education.uky.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Kentucky</a>. According to her university biography, Dr. Hargons teaches Diagnosis/Psychopathy, Ethics, Social Justice Consultation, and Practicum. She is additionally listed as a licensed psychologist who specializes in “sex therapy and healing racial trauma.”
Dr. Hargons is known for creating a meditation to allegedly heal her patient’s racial trauma. The 17-minute guided meditation—titled the “<a href="https://soundcloud.com/drcandicenicole/black-lives-matter-meditation-for-healing-racial-trauma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black Lives Matter Meditation for Healing Racial Trauma</a>”– was created to help black Americans cope with police shootings.
In an interview with the <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/this-blm-meditation-can-help-people-cope-with-the-tiring-cycle-of-oppression_n_59089aade4b0bb2d0871e5ac" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Huffington Post</a>, Dr. Hargons characterized her efforts as combating the narratives that “undercut black humanity” in the patients she treats. She further boasted that the audio had been used in colleges like UCLA, Emory University, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, the University of Iowa, among others.
When asked what inspired her to create the meditation, Dr. Hargons described the BLM movement as a “healing, affirming balm and a catalyst” for research and professorial duties. She further praised the “empowering and world-changing” courage of the movement’s founders, including professor Patrisse Cullors.
Dr. Patrisse Cullors openly identifies as a Marxist and <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/05/27/black-lives-matter-co-founder-patrisse-cullors-resigns-amid-controversy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">led the BLM movement until she resigned in 2021</a>. You can read more about <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/patrissecullors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Cullors on her profile on the Professor Watchlist</a>.
According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country in the Summer months of 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Federalist</a> found, “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>
Dr. Hargons also created a mediation specifically designed for white people. Titled the “<a href="https://www.drcandicenicole.com/blm-meditation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ally + Accomplice Meditation for Cultivating an Anti-Racist Mindset</a>.” The guided meditation encourages white listeners to “choose equity rather than oppression.” She bluntly characterizes white people as “accomplices” in racism who must work to understand “whiteness.”
Through the University of Kentucky, Dr. Hargons has authored a number of other BLM-themed materials that explicitly cite the movement and accuse the United States of being systematically racist. <a href="https://www.drcandicenicole.com/post/white-people-stress-me-out-all-the-time-black-students-define-racial-trauma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">One such study is titled, “White People Stress Me Out All the Time: Black Students Define Racial Trauma</a>.”
In the paper, Dr. Hargons and her co-authors state racism–or racial trauma—is a factor affecting black people “from cradle to grave” and label it a “public health crisis.” They further cite research that alleges that racism has similar adverse effects as “rape and domestic violence.” The authors then set out to find how black students define racial trauma and how it affects their daily lives.
The paper relies solely on participants to define what racial trauma is. One participant stated that “white people stress me out all the time.” Another cited seeing a “Trump-Pence” bumper sticker on her friend&#8217;s car as a source of trauma.
The paper admits that research was conducted through a “black feminist framework” in order to separate their research from the “white supremacist capitalist heteropatriarchy” which “oppresses and shackles” black men and women through “white patriarchal ideals.” The researchers eventually conclude that University counselors must direct attention and resources to further treat racial trauma in their students.
In another study—titled “Black Lives Matter, a call to action for Counseling and Psychology Leaders”—Dr. Hargons and her co-authors <a href="https://uknowledge.uky.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1034&amp;context=edp_facpub" target="_blank" rel="noopener">extol the movement as the “ultimate expression of a social justice movement.”</a> They urge fellow psychologists to not be “judgemental” of the “aggressive” tactics of activists, as the killing of black people “necessitates a strong, emotional response.”
“In seeking to support the Black Lives Matter movement, it is important that counseling psychologists not be judgmental or dismissive of, or apologists for, the emotional tone and“aggressive” tactics used by some  Black Lives Matters activists. The killings of Black people, many unarmed (Mapping Police Violence, 2016), understandably necessitate a strong emotional response. Cokley explained the all-consuming, raw and unbridled anger from Black people that results from a profound sense of alienation and helplessness in society. Although we do not suggest counseling psychologists must engage in the same tactics in order to support Black Lives Matter, we suggest that counseling psychologists should not be emotionally dispassionate observers.”
They conclude that fellow psychologists must not only be supportive of the BLM’s goals but even provide counseling to its activists in order to combat the “pervasive societal racism towards the Black Lives Matter movement.”
In addition to her professorial duties, Dr. Hargons regularly provides anti-racist training to the University of Kentucky. As the head of the <a href="https://education.uky.edu/psychophysiological-effects-of-racism-and-meditation/">Healing Racial Trauma Project</a>, she has regularly been <a href="https://uknow.uky.edu/research/uk-professor-uses-science-dive-conversations-about-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured for her work by the university</a>, despite <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/08/university_of_kentucky_paid_big_bucks_for_abusive_crt_seminar.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitting that she charges white audiences more for her services</a>.
In August of 2021, Dr. Hargons led a workshop in which she <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/universitys-anti-racism-workshop-teaches-deans-to-accept-white-inferiority/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told university deans to “accept their white inferiority”</a> and how to develop anti-racist plans of action in their own lives, including hiring more people of color.
Once the training was publicized by various media outlets, the President of the University of Kentucky sent out a campus-wide email <a href="https://uknow.uky.edu/campus-news/anti-racist-trainings-continue-across-campus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lauding Dr. Hargons and stating his intent to continue the anti-racist training</a>,
“But what is clear is that we will—and we must—stand with our faculty, staff and students who are engaged in these efforts….We will not be deterred in these efforts. We will not stand down in our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Implementation Plan, which involves faculty, staff and students across our campus.”

The 17-minute guided meditation—titled the “<a href="https://soundcloud.com/drcandicenicole/black-lives-matter-meditation-for-healing-racial-trauma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black Lives Matter Meditation for Healing Racial Trauma</a>”– was created to help black Americans cope with police shootings.

In an interview with the <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/this-blm-meditation-can-help-people-cope-with-the-tiring-cycle-of-oppression_n_59089aade4b0bb2d0871e5ac" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Huffington Post</a>, Dr. Hargons characterized her efforts as combating the narratives that “undercut black humanity” in the patients she treats. She further boasted that the audio had been used in colleges like UCLA, Emory University, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, the University of Iowa, among others.

When asked what inspired her to create the meditation, Dr. Hargons described the BLM movement as a “healing, affirming balm and a catalyst” for research and professorial duties. She further praised the “empowering and world-changing” courage of the movement’s founders, including professor Patrisse Cullors.

Dr. Patrisse Cullors openly identifies as a Marxist and <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/05/27/black-lives-matter-co-founder-patrisse-cullors-resigns-amid-controversy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">led the BLM movement until she resigned in 2021</a>. You can read more about <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/patrissecullors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Cullors on her profile on the Professor Watchlist</a>.

According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country in the Summer months of 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Federalist</a> found, “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

Dr. Hargons also created a mediation specifically designed for white people. Titled the “<a href="https://www.drcandicenicole.com/blm-meditation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ally + Accomplice Meditation for Cultivating an Anti-Racist Mindset</a>.” The guided meditation encourages white listeners to “choose equity rather than oppression.” She bluntly characterizes white people as “accomplices” in racism who must work to understand “whiteness.”

Through the University of Kentucky, Dr. Hargons has authored a number of other BLM-themed materials that explicitly cite the movement and accuse the United States of being systematically racist. <a href="https://www.drcandicenicole.com/post/white-people-stress-me-out-all-the-time-black-students-define-racial-trauma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">One such study is titled, “White People Stress Me Out All the Time: Black Students Define Racial Trauma</a>.”

In the paper, Dr. Hargons and her co-authors state racism–or racial trauma—is a factor affecting black people “from cradle to grave” and label it a “public health crisis.” They further cite research that alleges that racism has similar adverse effects as “rape and domestic violence.” The authors then set out to find how black students define racial trauma and how it affects their daily lives.

The paper relies solely on participants to define what racial trauma is. One participant stated that “white people stress me out all the time.” Another cited seeing a “Trump-Pence” bumper sticker on her friend's car as a source of trauma.

The paper admits that research was conducted through a “black feminist framework” in order to separate their research from the “white supremacist capitalist heteropatriarchy” which “oppresses and shackles” black men and women through “white patriarchal ideals.” The researchers eventually conclude that University counselors must direct attention and resources to further treat racial trauma in their students.

In another study—titled “Black Lives Matter, a call to action for Counseling and Psychology Leaders”—Dr. Hargons and her co-authors <a href="https://uknowledge.uky.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1034&amp;context=edp_facpub" target="_blank" rel="noopener">extol the movement as the “ultimate expression of a social justice movement.”</a> They urge fellow psychologists to not be “judgemental” of the “aggressive” tactics of activists, as the killing of black people “necessitates a strong, emotional response.”

“In seeking to support the Black Lives Matter movement, it is important that counseling psychologists not be judgmental or dismissive of, or apologists for, the emotional tone and“aggressive” tactics used by some  Black Lives Matters activists. The killings of Black people, many unarmed (Mapping Police Violence, 2016), understandably necessitate a strong emotional response. Cokley explained the all-consuming, raw and unbridled anger from Black people that results from a profound sense of alienation and helplessness in society. Although we do not suggest counseling psychologists must engage in the same tactics in order to support Black Lives Matter, we suggest that counseling psychologists should not be emotionally dispassionate observers.”

They conclude that fellow psychologists must not only be supportive of the BLM’s goals but even provide counseling to its activists in order to combat the “pervasive societal racism towards the Black Lives Matter movement.”

In addition to her professorial duties, Dr. Hargons regularly provides anti-racist training to the University of Kentucky. As the head of the <a href="https://education.uky.edu/psychophysiological-effects-of-racism-and-meditation/">Healing Racial Trauma Project</a>, she has regularly been <a href="https://uknow.uky.edu/research/uk-professor-uses-science-dive-conversations-about-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured for her work by the university</a>, despite <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/08/university_of_kentucky_paid_big_bucks_for_abusive_crt_seminar.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitting that she charges white audiences more for her services</a>.

In August of 2021, Dr. Hargons led a workshop in which she <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/universitys-anti-racism-workshop-teaches-deans-to-accept-white-inferiority/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told university deans to “accept their white inferiority”</a> and how to develop anti-racist plans of action in their own lives, including hiring more people of color.

Once the training was publicized by various media outlets, the President of the University of Kentucky sent out a campus-wide email <a href="https://uknow.uky.edu/campus-news/anti-racist-trainings-continue-across-campus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lauding Dr. Hargons and stating his intent to continue the anti-racist training</a>,

“But what is clear is that we will—and we must—stand with our faculty, staff and students who are engaged in these efforts….We will not be deterred in these efforts. We will not stand down in our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Implementation Plan, which involves faculty, staff and students across our campus.”

China is the greatest existential threat that the United States currently faces. Through military, governmental, and financial fronts, the authoritarian Chinese government seeks to supplant the United States as the world’s sole superpower. None of their tactics may be more perfidious than the placement of Confucius Institutes on campuses across the country. Currently, 64 Institutes operate at American universities, high schools, and even elementary schools, serving as focal points of China’s espionage against our country. China has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to indoctrinate students with state-sponsored, communist propaganda, matched by university funds that are enabled by your hard-earned tax dollars.
Turning Point USA is standing up to the Chinese Communist Party. Through our China on Campus initiative, Turning Point USA is highlighting the infiltration of our educational institutions and halting the Chinese government in its tracks. We will locate, identify, and expose every school and professor that receives funding from the Chinese government. Through our efforts, Turning Point USA aims to close every Confucius Institute on American campuses for good.

<a href="https://www.wm.edu/sites/dhp/faculty/ciccariello-maher-george.php">Dr. George Ciccariello-Maher</a> is a Visiting Scholar of Decolonizing Humanities and Modern Languages and Literatures at the College of William and Mary. He previously taught in the Department of History and Politics at Drexel University.

From the College of William and Mary's website, his work at the Decolonizing Humanities Project is <a href="https://www.wm.edu/sites/dhp/decoloniality/index.php">described</a> as exploring, “how colonization, modernity, capitalism, and, most recently, neoliberalism has displaced an array of modes of living, thinking and being.  Decoloniality reveals “the dark side of modernity” and how it is built “on the backs” of “others.”

Ciccarello first came to notoriety for his racially inflammatory statements on twitter. On Christmas of 2016, he <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/Drexel-officials-Professor-George-Ciccariello-Mahers-White-Genocide-tweet-was-utterly-reprehensible.html">tweeted</a> out,

“All I want for Christmas is White Genocide,”

and,

“To clarify: when the whites were massacred during the Haitian Revolution, that was a  good thing indeed.”

He also tweeted out,

“Some guy gave up his first-class seat for a uniformed soldier. People are thanking him. I’m trying not to vomit or yell about Mosul.”

When Ciccariello was confronted by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndkvgmGIQHQ">Tucker Carlson</a> over his tweets, he only proceeded to double-down. In the following exchange, he defended the academic veracity of his tweets by claiming, “performance art is scholarship.”

Ciccariello doesn’t shy away from utilizing violence to accomplish his radical beliefs. In an op-ed for <a href="https://www.salon.com/2015/05/04/riots_work_wolf_blitzer_and_the_washington_post_completely_missed_the_real_lesson_from_baltimore/">Salon</a>, he praised the riots that had engulfed Baltimore in 2015 in an article titled “Riots Work.” He wrote, “without the threat of insurgency in the streets, no charges would ever have been brought in the murder of Freddie Gray.” Obviously not a proponent of police, Ciccariello openly <a href="https://www.salon.com/2015/04/24/we_must_disband_the_police_body_cameras_arent_enough_only_radical_change_will_stop_cops_who_kill/">advocates</a> for the abolishment of police forces, describing them as, “originally slavecatchers.”

When not calling for the disbandment of our law enforcement, Ciccariello is an ardent defender of the socialist regime in Venezuela. He regularly <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2013/04/12/thatcher-is-dead-long-live-chavez/">praises</a> Hugo Chavez and has bizarrely <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhYz1owM-uA&amp;feature=youtu.be">claimed</a> that Venezuela does not have corrupt elections.

Ciccariello doesn’t shy away from violent groups as well. In order to fight white-nationalism, Ciccarello called on Americans to embrace the radical group ANTIFA in an interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTv_hqjrmi8&amp;feature=youtu.be">Democracy Now</a> following the El Paso mass shooting. Although committed by a stated white nationalist, in the same interview Ciccariello placed the blame on Donald Trump for the deaths, claiming that his rhetoric on immigrants inspired the shooter’s rampage.  Ciccariello made similar accusations in a prior <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTv_hqjrmi8&amp;feature=youtu.be">interview</a> about the Texas Church Massacre, alluding that “whiteness” and Trump’s stoking of white victimhood was to blame for the murders.

<a href="https://cronkite.asu.edu/about/faculty-and-leadership/faculty/gilgerbio">Kristin Gilger</a> is the Reynolds Professor of Business Journalism and the interim dean at the Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University (ASU). She is the author of the book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Theres-No-Crying-Newsrooms-Learned/dp/1538121492">“There’s No Crying in Newsrooms”</a> and has served in various roles at ASU since 2002.
Gilger has been mired in controversy since assuming her role as dean this past summer. The previous candidate, Sonya Forte Duhe, was replaced by Gilger after <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/after-tweet-supporting-good-police-officers-arizona-state-revokes-journalism-dean-offer/">her offer was rescinded by the university</a>. After tweeting an image that was considered too positive towards police officers, Duhe was condemned by university faculty for showing “poor judgment.”
Gilger has come under fire after pressuring Rae’Lee Klein, a senior journalism major, and station manager for ASU’s Blaze radio, to resign from her position after <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/28/this-is-why-jacob-blake-had-a-warrant-out-for-his-arrest/?preview_id=16209831">tweeting and soon deleting a New York Post article</a> detailing the warrant issued for Jacob Blake’s arrest;
“Always more to the story, folks. Please read this article to get to the background of Jacob Blake’s warrant. You’ll be quite disgusted“ 
Blake—who was wanted for sexually assaulting his ex-girlfriend—was shot in the back by police after resisting arrest and allegedly reaching for a knife on the floor of his car.
Facing immediate backlash for her tweet, the Board of Directors at the station <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/09/18/arizona-student-journalist-cancelled-over-jacob-blake-tweet/">voted unanimously to remove her from her position</a>. Later releasing a statement, the board announced that “Blaze Radio firmly believes that Black Lives Matter.”
“The board gave Klein an opportunity to step down under her own will. As of the time of this statement, Klein has not made the decision to resign…In light of this, we do not recognize Rae&#8217;Lee Klein as the station manager of Blaze Radio.”  
Gilger has claimed that the University is not moving to remove Klein. In a statement to the New York Post, Gilger stated that Klein is not being targeted by the university for her views.
“Any actions that are unfolding are not punishment for a tweet. I have been clear with Rae’Lee that she would not be removed as station manager of Blaze Radio, a student internet radio station, because of the views she expressed,”  
However, in email exchanges between Klein and Gilger, she did in fact act to pressure Klein to resign, contrary to her statement.
In their exchange (pictured below) Gilger clearly states that Klein remaining in her position, “is not an option,” as she had lost the confidence of the board.
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-909" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.18.44-PM.png" alt="" width="500" height="366" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.18.44-PM.png 830w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.18.44-PM-300x220.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.18.44-PM-768x563.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />
&nbsp;
Although suggesting new roles that Klein may assume, Gilger cites the &#8220;Media Guidelines for Student Journalists&#8221; to warn her to refrain in the future from posting information “that could call into question your ability to act independently as a journalist.” This seems to contradict Gilger’s claim that Klein was not being targeted by the university for her views.

&nbsp;
At this time, Klein has refused to step down from her role, and officially remains the station’s manager.
Update: In February of 2021, Klein announced that she <a href="https://www.westernjournal.com/college-pays-settlement-conservative-student-ousted-manager-role/">has reached a settlement with Gilger</a> over a lawsuit she had filed against ASU several months prior.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
UPDATE: I am happy to announce we&#8217;ve reached a resolution with Arizona State University for events that took place in September. With the support of my attorney, Jack Wilenchik, and countless other individuals, I am proud to have stood up, fought back and eventually, won.
— Rae&#8217;Lee Klein (@RaeLeeKlein) <a href="https://twitter.com/RaeLeeKlein/status/1365067995052085254?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 25, 2021</a></blockquote>

According to a <a href="https://newsroom.asu.edu/press/statement-latest-update-asu-and-klein-story-0">statement released by ASU</a>, the University agreed to pay Klein a total of $7,040 for &#8220;reimbursement of her school fees.&#8221;

<a href="https://cronkite.asu.edu/about/faculty-and-leadership/faculty/gilgerbio">Kristin Gilger</a> is the Reynolds Professor of Business Journalism and the interim dean at the Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University (ASU). She is the author of the book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Theres-No-Crying-Newsrooms-Learned/dp/1538121492">“There’s No Crying in Newsrooms”</a> and has served in various roles at ASU since 2002.

Gilger has been mired in controversy since assuming her role as dean this past summer. The previous candidate, Sonya Forte Duhe, was replaced by Gilger after <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/after-tweet-supporting-good-police-officers-arizona-state-revokes-journalism-dean-offer/">her offer was rescinded by the university</a>. After tweeting an image that was considered too positive towards police officers, Duhe was condemned by university faculty for showing “poor judgment.”

Gilger has come under fire after pressuring Rae’Lee Klein, a senior journalism major, and station manager for ASU’s Blaze radio, to resign from her position after <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/28/this-is-why-jacob-blake-had-a-warrant-out-for-his-arrest/?preview_id=16209831">tweeting and soon deleting a New York Post article</a> detailing the warrant issued for Jacob Blake’s arrest;

“Always more to the story, folks. Please read this article to get to the background of Jacob Blake’s warrant. You’ll be quite disgusted“ 

Blake—who was wanted for sexually assaulting his ex-girlfriend—was shot in the back by police after resisting arrest and allegedly reaching for a knife on the floor of his car.

Facing immediate backlash for her tweet, the Board of Directors at the station <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/09/18/arizona-student-journalist-cancelled-over-jacob-blake-tweet/">voted unanimously to remove her from her position</a>. Later releasing a statement, the board announced that “Blaze Radio firmly believes that Black Lives Matter.”

“The board gave Klein an opportunity to step down under her own will. As of the time of this statement, Klein has not made the decision to resign…In light of this, we do not recognize Rae'Lee Klein as the station manager of Blaze Radio.”  

Gilger has claimed that the University is not moving to remove Klein. In a statement to the New York Post, Gilger stated that Klein is not being targeted by the university for her views.

“Any actions that are unfolding are not punishment for a tweet. I have been clear with Rae’Lee that she would not be removed as station manager of Blaze Radio, a student internet radio station, because of the views she expressed,”  

However, in email exchanges between Klein and Gilger, she did in fact act to pressure Klein to resign, contrary to her statement.

In their exchange (pictured below) Gilger clearly states that Klein remaining in her position, “is not an option,” as she had lost the confidence of the board.

&nbsp;

Although suggesting new roles that Klein may assume, Gilger cites the "Media Guidelines for Student Journalists" to warn her to refrain in the future from posting information “that could call into question your ability to act independently as a journalist.” This seems to contradict Gilger’s claim that Klein was not being targeted by the university for her views.

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-910" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.24.32-PM.png" alt="" width="317" height="500" /><img class="aligncenter wp-image-911 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-4.51.32-PM-1-e1601512111513.png" alt="" width="339" height="642" /><img class="aligncenter wp-image-912 size-full" src="http://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.27.15-PM.png" alt="" width="342" height="540" />

&nbsp;

At this time, Klein has refused to step down from her role, and officially remains the station’s manager.

Update: In February of 2021, Klein announced that she <a href="https://www.westernjournal.com/college-pays-settlement-conservative-student-ousted-manager-role/">has reached a settlement with Gilger</a> over a lawsuit she had filed against ASU several months prior.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
UPDATE: I am happy to announce we've reached a resolution with Arizona State University for events that took place in September. With the support of my attorney, Jack Wilenchik, and countless other individuals, I am proud to have stood up, fought back and eventually, won.

&nbsp;

According to a <a href="https://newsroom.asu.edu/press/statement-latest-update-asu-and-klein-story-0">statement released by ASU</a>, the University agreed to pay Klein a total of $7,040 for "reimbursement of her school fees."

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

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

<a href="https://isearch.asu.edu/profile/597528" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lorraine Moya Salas</a> is an Instructor in the <a href="https://socialwork.asu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">School of Social Work</a> at <a href="https://campus.asu.edu/dohttps://campus.asu.edu/downtown-phoenixwntown-phoenix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arizona State University - Downtown Phoenix</a>.

During a lecture in one of her courses—titled, “Foundations of Social Work”—Dr. Lorraine can be heard describing the United States as a “white supremacist system,” that was founded for the benefit of white people at the expense of Native Americans and people of color.

In the class—recorded and provided exclusively to the Professor Watchlist team by an anonymous source—Dr. Salas urges her students to confront the “implicit biases” present in themselves and American society. Claiming that stereotypes and prejudices construct implicit bias, she warns that unconscious actions can cause serious harm.

Attempting to provide an example to bolster her claim, Dr. Salas states that implicit bias causes doctors to act as if their black patients are slaves. She proceeds to cite a study that claims doctors give less pain medication to black patients as compared to white ones.

Dr. Salas alleges this is the product of the legacy of slavery; slave owners viewed blacks as subhuman and able to withstand a large amount of pain, so therefore doctors continue to believe that blacks can withstand a large amount of pain. Doctors will therefore prescribe black patients less pain medication.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Lorraine-Moya-Salas-Part-1_updated.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Dr. Salas additionally cites a study that claims teachers will call on boys more often than girls in their classrooms. She claims this as proof that teachers think boys answer questions correctly more often than girls.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Lorraine-Moya-Salas-Part-1_2.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Throughout the lecture, Dr. Salas alleges that numerous racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in society are a result of implicit bias. She urges her students, as future social workers, to confront their own implicit biases and assigns an “implicit bias test” for them to complete before the next class.

Dr. Salas additionally claims that institutional racism produces inequality and disparities, attributing it to the legacy of slavery in the Americas. Although acknowledging that all cultures practiced slavery, she claims that no slave trade was enforced along racial lines until the Europeans did so in order to specifically oppress people of color.

Citing slavery, the genocide of Native Americans and discriminatory, Jim Crow laws, Dr. Salas claims that  America was constructed as a “white supremacist culture” for the sole benefit of white people who have maintained their “white power structures” ever since.

&nbsp;

In the accompanying slides, Dr. Salas cites Critical Race Theory to define white supremacy as a, “political or socio-economic system where white people enjoy structural advantage and rights that other racial and ethnic groups do not, both at a collective and an individual level”.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1692 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/3b-SelfAwarenessAndRaceEthnitiy-student-copy.pptx-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="326" />

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

She currently teaches feminist studies and calls her teaching philosophy “revolutionary praxis.” The goal of this style is to subvert the traditional “male-centered” teaching methodology and replace it with a “woman-centered perspective.”

<a href="https://humanities.ucsc.edu/academics/faculty/index.php?uid=aydavis">Angela Davis</a> is a professor emeritus at the University of California at Santa Cruz, and previously taught Women's and Feminist Studies at San Francisco State University. A 20th-century icon for the Left, Davis’s profile has seen a resurgence after her speech at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSGPGNJpaE0&amp;ab_channel=DemocracyNow%21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the 2017 Women's March</a>, in which she was an honorary co-chair.

Throughout her career, there was seemingly no cause or desport too radical for Davis, who regularly toured Communist nations and embraced brutal dictatorships. Davis appeared twice on the ballot as the <a href="https://cms.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2020/07/biden-bags-angela-davis-endorsement-lloyd-billingsley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Communist Party’s candidate for Vice-President</a> and has spent her career since advocating for abolishing prisons and the police.

<a href="https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/angela-davis">Davis</a> grew up between Birmingham, Alabama and New York City, and spent her early academic career being <a href="https://spectator.org/womens-marchers-unite/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mentored by Frankfurt School academic Herbert Marcuse</a>. In the 1960’s she became a member of the Black Panthers and Communist Parties. <a href="http://web.stanford.edu/~ccarson/articles/am_left.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Black Panthers</a> were a Marxist-Leninist organization co-led by Huey Newton, whose involvement is <a href="https://www.salon.com/1999/12/13/betty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspected in multiple murders</a> allegedly committed by the Panthers. Davis has described the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WRDrkBZYA4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black Lives Matter movement</a> as the “contemporary Black Panther Party.”

One of the most notorious crimes the Black Panthers or Davis were ever associated with was the Marin County Civic Center Attack. On August 7th, 1970, Jonathan Jackson stormed the Marin County courtroom and took hostages in an attempt to negotiate the release of his brother, George, who was on trial for murdering a prison guard. In the ensuing shootout, 4 were killed including Judge Harold Haley. <a href="https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/hollywoods-undying-love-communist-angela-davis-arnold-ahlert/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Davis had bought the weapons</a> used by Jonathan in the shoot-out and was later discovered to be in a relationship with George Jackson. Despite numerous witnesses who implicated Davis in the kidnapping plot to free Jackson, she was acquitted by a sympathetic jury.

Following her acquittal, Davis went on a prolific tour of Communist nations. One of her first stops was a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veqcoxk3keo&amp;ab_channel=AfroMarxist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Havana rally</a> with <a href="https://www.cato.org/blog/fidel-castro-worst-worst" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dictator Fidel Castro</a> of whom <a href="https://www.cato.org/blog/fidel-castro-worst-worst" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Davis has praised</a> throughout her career.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-948 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-03-at-3.24.29-PM-e1604442456116-1024x363.png" alt="" width="580" height="206" />

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/veqcoxk3keo" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

During her trial, the Soviet Union had begun vocally and financially supporting Davis. Eastern bloc nations <a href="https://www.cato.org/blog/fidel-castro-worst-worst" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ordered its citizens to send letters of support to Davis</a> and to protest Ronald Reagan, who was then serving as Governor of California, for her prosecution. It is estimated that 5% of the Soviet propaganda budget was spent just on boosting Angela Davis’s image around the world. She soon visited the USSR, where she <a href="https://www.cato.org/blog/fidel-castro-worst-worst" target="_blank" rel="noopener">received the Lenin Peace Prize</a> in Moscow.

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/24iCqYQPePA" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

Davis frequently praised and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu9QbgUHnK8&amp;ab_channel=AfroMarxist">defended the Soviet Union</a> for the rest of her career.

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Vu9QbgUHnK8" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Despite her advocacy on behalf of prisoners, when confronted with the grim reality of the millions of dissidents in Soviet gulags, <a href="https://www.cato.org/blog/fidel-castro-worst-worst" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she refused to so much as lift a finger</a>;

  <img class="aligncenter wp-image-949 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-03-at-3.27.06-PM-e1604442534729-1024x361.png" alt="" width="580" height="204" />

When asked to assist <a href="https://www.cato.org/blog/fidel-castro-worst-worst" target="_blank" rel="noopener">persecuted Jews in the Soviet Union</a>, Davis refused to help with the same sentiments;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-950 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-03-at-3.29.51-PM-1024x385.png" alt="" width="580" height="218" />

Davis has met with and offered support to radicals throughout her career. In 2009, she headlined a <a href="https://www.cato.org/blog/fidel-castro-worst-worst" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dinner honoring Jeremiah Wright</a>, the pastor of former President Obama who delivered <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=4443788">sermons blaming America for 9/11 and asking God to damn America</a>.

An associate to Jim Jones, Davis addressed his followers at Jonestown and <a href="https://www.cato.org/blog/fidel-castro-worst-worst" target="_blank" rel="noopener">praised the cult leader</a>, who would later <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/crime/jonestown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">direct a mass suicide</a> of hundreds at his compound, for his “struggle” against racism.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-951 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-03-at-3.36.28-PM-1024x459.png" alt="" width="580" height="260" />

Davis describes the country and free markets as replete with racism. In an <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/crime/jonestown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appearance at the Qatari-owned Al-Jazeera</a>, Davis stated that racism is embedded into the fabric of our nation and that there is a “genealogical relationship” between policing and slavery. This is a <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/crime/jonestown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">central plank to Davis’s work</a> on “abolition,” which includes the abolition of prisons, police, and capitalism at-large.

Davis has lent support for convicted cop killers <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/crime/jonestown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Assata Shakur</a> and <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/crime/jonestown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mumia Abu-Jamal</a>. She has <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/crime/jonestown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">described Assata Shakur</a> as a “political refugee” and a victim of FBI repression. She <a href="https://old.post-gazette.com/regionstate/19991013davis5.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">met with Abu-Jamal numerous times</a> to advocate for his release, despite his <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20071221080800/http://www.justice4danielfaulkner.com/Days/6-24-82.html">confession</a> to murdering officer Daniel Faulkner.

Davis has also advocated for the <a href="https://old.post-gazette.com/regionstate/19991013davis5.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">release of Marwan Barghouti</a>. As the leader of the Al-Aqsa brigades, Barghouti was responsible for directing the suicide bombers that resulted in the <a href="https://old.post-gazette.com/regionstate/19991013davis5.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">murder of dozens of Israelis</a>.

Opposed even to the existence of the state of Israel, Davis is a <a href="https://old.post-gazette.com/regionstate/19991013davis5.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vocal advocate of BDS</a> (the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement) to dismantle the state of Israel and has falsely accused Israel of numerous human rights violations. In a speech at the University of Houston, she accused <a href="https://old.post-gazette.com/regionstate/19991013davis5.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israelis of funding police brutality</a> and racism in America.

Despite being officially retired from teaching, Davis still maintains an active schedule of lectures, speaking tours, and media appearances on and off American campuses.

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

<a href="https://english.arizona.edu/people/sylvia-chan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ms. Sylvia Chan</a> is a lecturer in the Department of English at the University of Arizona. In the Fall 2021 semester, Ms. Chan will be teaching a Black Lives Matter(BLM)-inspired course that counts towards an English requirement for graduation.

<img class="wp-image-1511 size-full aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Screen-Shot-2021-08-19-at-3.38.45-PM-e1629412801120.png" alt="" width="399" height="389" />

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

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

<a href="https://www.ohsu.edu/providers/blair-peters-md" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Blair Peters</a> is an Assistant Professor of Surgery in the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Oregon Health &amp; Science University School of Medicine.
Dr. Peters — who states his pronouns as he/they — advocates for gender-affirming care in medicine. He was one of the first two fellows in gender-affirming surgery at the Oregon Health &amp; Science University (OHSU) and is supportive of increased emphasis on LGBTQ and transgender care in the medical community.
In an April 2022 tweet, Dr. Peters announced that he had <a href="https://twitter.com/queersurgeon/status/1511866232802189312?s=11&amp;t=rtPkuHLvqcV2XMWHog1VrQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">performed mastectomies on 3 young adults and adolescents</a>. A gender-affirming mastectomy (also known as top surgery) is when a female’s breasts are removed to create a masculine-appearing chest.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I performed gender affirming mastectomies (top surgeries) for 3 young adults and adolescents today.
All had supportive parents present. You could see the family relief the second we wheeled back to the OR.
I could sense the shift.

Dr. Peters advocates for more LGBTQ representation in the academic community. In a talk with Tulane University’s Master’s of Science in Bioethics and Humanities program, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLPf5BpqjII" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he describes the current state of representation in academia as tokenism.</a> His lecture defines tokenism as diversity without meaningful inclusion. He believes that LGBTQ individuals feel that they must assimilate to succeed and that there’s a dominant narrative of heterosexuality and a gender binary throughout medical school. He believes that true inclusion doesn’t just increase the number of LGBTQ individuals but changes the overall culture of the organization.

Daniel F. Liefwalker is a<a href="https://ohsu.pure.elsevier.com/en/persons/daniel-liefwalker" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> research assistant professor</a> at Oregon Health &amp; Science University. His areas of interest include molecular and medical genetics. He has penned a few publications related to DNA and genetic coding.

When he isn’t teaching or in the lab researching genetics, he can be found rioting with ANTIFA. In August of 2020, Liefwalker was <a href="https://rosterhome.blogspot.com/2020/08/daniel-leafwalker-arrested-in-multnomah.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested around 3am</a> for trespassing in Portland, which is a class C misdemeanor. He was arrested alongside 23 other ANTIFA rioters. The “protest” turned violent when a man was spotted trying to light the city hall building on fire, and other ANTIFA rioters were throwing items at police officers. He was released on his own recognizance, and additional information regarding the court case is not currently available.

As reported by <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/dhs-leaked-email-confirms-that-antifa-is-an-organized-group" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Post-Millennial</a>, leaked emails from the Department of Homeland Security show that law enforcement agencies identify ANTIFA as an organization that engages in “organized” rather than sporadic violence. Many<a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/guns-knives-and-other-weapons-confiscated-from-suspects-at-portland-antifa-riot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> members arm themselves with knives and firearms</a> to violently confront conservatives at events. In the Summer of 2021,<a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/us-attorneys-office-in-dc-refuses-to-investigate-attack-on-rand-paul/"> members of ANTIFA attacked Senator Rand Paul</a> and his wife as they walked through Washington D.C.

<a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/07/30/24-people-killed-george-floyd-riots-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to The Daily Caller</a>, at least 24 people died during ANTIFA riots in the two-month span after George Floyd’s death. Countless others were injured during these riots as well.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1791" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-17-at-12.50.30-PM.png" alt="" width="451" height="293" />

The arrest in August 2020 was not Liefwalker’s first run-in with the law, however. According to <a href="https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1297744227384737792" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American conservative journalist Andy Ngo</a>, Liefwalker was arrested in 2008 at Oregon State University for “drunken, belligerent, and aggressive behavior.”

Oregon Health &amp; Science University has remained silent in regards to Liefwalker’s ANTIFA-related arrest. As of Fall 2021, he is still teaching at the university.

<a href="https://www.ohsu.edu/providers/blair-peters-md" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Blair Peters</a> is an Assistant Professor of Surgery in the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Oregon Health &amp; Science University School of Medicine.

Dr. Peters — who states his pronouns as he/they — advocates for gender-affirming care in medicine. He was one of the first two fellows in gender-affirming surgery at the Oregon Health &amp; Science University (OHSU) and is supportive of increased emphasis on LGBTQ and transgender care in the medical community.

In an April 2022 tweet, Dr. Peters announced that he had <a href="https://twitter.com/queersurgeon/status/1511866232802189312?s=11&amp;t=rtPkuHLvqcV2XMWHog1VrQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">performed mastectomies on 3 young adults and adolescents</a>. A gender-affirming mastectomy (also known as top surgery) is when a female’s breasts are removed to create a masculine-appearing chest.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I performed gender affirming mastectomies (top surgeries) for 3 young adults and adolescents today.
All had supportive parents present. You could see the family relief the second we wheeled back to the OR.

I could sense the shift.

“We made it. We have a chance.”

Beth Younger <a href="https://www.drake.edu/english/faculty/bethyounger/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">is an Associate Professor</a> at Drake University in the English Department. Her areas of interest include popular culture, young adult literature, feminist theory, and women&#8217;s studies. She has written many publications relating to these topics, including “<a href="https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9780203802137-12/lesbian-lens-girls-femininity-sexuality-reading-spectrum-beth-younger" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Through a Lesbian Lens: Girls, Femininity, and Sexuality on a Reading Spectrum</a>,” “<a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/4316970" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pleasure, Pain, and the Power of Being Thin: Female Sexuality in Young Adult Literature</a>,” and “<a href="https://eric.ed.gov/?q=abortion&amp;pg=7&amp;id=ED517069" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Learning Curves: Body Image and Female Sexuality in Young Adult Literature</a>.”
In her free time, she chooses to write on a different subject: conservatives. In January 2021, Dr. Younger was the center of controversy when her Twitter was discovered to be full of anti-conservative rhetoric. She discussed her hate of all “republican assholes” who “need to suffer.” She also tweeted about how she thinks “men are trash.” She even tweeted hateful and inappropriate words to Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA founder and CEO. Her Twitter has since been deleted, but some of these tweets are included below:

After the tweets emerged in the media, Professor Younger <a href="https://timesdelphic.com/2021/02/statement-from-professor-beth-younger/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made a public apology</a>. In her apology, she states: “Recently some of the comments I have made on Twitter were copied and publicized without my knowledge. I understand that some of these comments have been upsetting to students and others.” She goes on to blame the Drake University Turning Point chapter, alleging “These students did not contact me or reach out to ask questions–their targeted harassment is a common tactic used by Turning Point USA to harass “liberal” educators and create conflict. While I do regret the harm this has caused, I think the students involved are misguided.”
Drake University President Marty Martin <a href="https://theiowastandard.com/breaking-drake-university-president-emails-campus-about-professor-who-said-she-hates-republicans-and-they-need-to-suffer-among-other-things/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued a statement</a> to students, staff, and faculty via email following these events condoning the tweets. He said language like that would not be tolerated at Drake University. As of October 2021, Professor Younger still appears to be teaching at the university. She has since deleted her Twitter account.

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

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

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

&nbsp;
Dr. Slater urges her white students to personally engage in antiracism throughout the lecture. She even encourages a teacher who was present at the lecture to discuss her stances on antiracism with her own students.

<a href="http://www.brandeis.edu/facultyguide/person.html?emplid=ab457d288c632f1a02cc93401ab15946ca2e2dbb">Dr. Donald Hindley</a>, a Political Science Professor Emeritus at Brandeis University, quit after being triggered by the alleged abundance of conservatives at the school. He said, “I just could not tolerate anymore,” the conservative-direction the political science department had taken, referring subtly to the pro-Israel stance of the university.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1438 " src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-06-11T141554.988-e1623446309629-1024x268.png" alt="" width="649" height="170" />
Dr. <a href="https://www.brandeis.edu/gsas/admissions/contact.html">Kate Slater</a> is the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs at Brandeis University. On her personal website, Dr. Slater <a href="https://kateaslater.com/about">describes herself as a “white anti-racist scholar and educator.</a>” In this capacity, Dr. Slater writes that she studies how “white racial identity formation and how racism operates individually, organizationally, and systemically.”

In a now-highly-publicized post on her private Instagram page—obtained by The College Fix—Dr. Slater launched into a<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/brandeis-university-dean-yes-all-white-people-are-racist/"> racially inflammatory attack on white people and defended the teaching of Critical Race Theory</a>. Writing that, “all white people are racist,” she claims that American society conditions white people—including herself—to be racist, which justifies the need for critical theory in education.

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

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

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

Dr. Vincent was Vice-President for Diversity and Community Engagement at the University of Texas-Austin. On two separate occasions, he condemned an affirmative action bake sale as "demeaning" and "deplorable". Leaving to assume the role of President of Hobart and William Smith Colleges, he later <a href="https://www.jbhe.com/2018/04/gregory-vincent-resigns-as-president-of-hobart-and-william-smith-colleges/">resigned</a> after allegations arose that he plagiarized his doctoral dissertation.

<a href="https://education.utexas.edu/faculty/jennifer_adair">Dr. Jennifer Adair</a> is an Associate Professor at the University of Texas, Austin. Dr. Adair proposed indoctrinating children as young as kindergarten in racial issues, in order to ‘prevent another Ferguson.' One proposed project involved having the students make protest signs about racial injustice or other art projects about school integration or bus boycotts. Adair and the other professors working with her drew heavily from the philosophy of radical historian Howard Zinn in their effort.

In an essay on a social justice website, Jensen argued that rape is part of the larger violent, patriarchy. He told Campus Reform that, “I don’t believe there will be any serious progress toward eliminating men’s violence against women if we do not address the toxic notions about masculinity in patriarchy—masculinity understood as rooted in control, conquest, aggression.” Jensen also attacked a major anti-sexual assault group for blaming the perpetrators for rape, instead of focusing on the patriarchal culture as the main cause.

While teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, Shingavi co-founded the anti-Israel group <a href="https://canarymission.org/organization/sjp">Students for Justice in Palestine</a> (SJP) with Professor Hatem Bazian.  SJP is known for its vitriolic campaigns and aggressively confronting Jewish and pro-Israel students on campus. They are also known for their active role in Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaigns on university campuses.

Snehal first generated controversy at UC Berkeley in 2002 for his <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/7789/hardball-interview-with-snehal-shingavi">course</a>, "The Politics and Poetics of Palestinian Resistance." The course description alleged that Israel has “systematically displaced, killed and maimed millions of Palestinian people.”

Now teaching at UT Austin, <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Snehal_Shingavi">Shehal</a> is a regular at protests and events committed to demonizing Israel.

Thomas K. Hubbard was the James R. Dougherty Jr. Centennial Professor of Classics, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190905194331/https://minio.la.utexas.edu/colaweb-prod/person_files/0/354/thomas_k_hubbard_curriculum_vitae.pdf">who taught at the University of Texas-Austin from 1988 t0 2021</a>. Hubbard’s body of research included ancient pederasty – adult male sexual relations with underage boys  – which Hubbard calls the “<a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2019/12/17/ut-students-protest-professors-house-over-his-writings-on-sexual-relations-between-men-and-boys/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">romantic courtship</a>” of teenage boys by older men.

Writing in the peer-reviewed Thymos Journal of Boyhood Studies, Hubbard detailed this position in an article titled, <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/276216200_Sexual_Consent_and_the_Adolescent_Male_or_What_Can_We_Learn_from_the_Greeks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sexual Consent and the Adolescent Male, or What Can We Learn From the Greeks</a>.

John O. Brennan is a <a href="https://intelligencestudies.utexas.edu/about/leadership" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Distinguished Scholar</a> and <a href="https://www.strausscenter.org/person/john-o-brennan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senior Advisor to the Intelligence Studies Project</a> at the <a href="https://www.utexas.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Texas-Austin</a>. Brennan also serves as a <a href="https://www.centeronnationalsecurity.org/fellows#john-o-brennan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Distinguished Fellow for Global Security</a> for the Center on National Security at <a href="https://www.fordham.edu/site/index.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fordham University</a>.

Prior to both roles, Brennan served as the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/John-Brennan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Director of The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) </a>from 2013 to 2017. His service and post-CIA career have been marred with controversies, including allegations of spying on political opponents, overseas clandestine operations, and incendiary comments towards conservatives and libertarians.

In 2014, the CIA was <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2014/03/11/289085076/feinsteins-cia-outrage-splits-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused by California Senator Dianne Feinstein of illegally accessing the computers of Senate staffers</a> investigating the use of “enhanced interrogation” against detainees. <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2014/03/brennan-denies-claims-cia-hacked-senate-computers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brennan initially denied the allegations</a>, stating that, “Nothing could be further from the truth.” Brennan was later forced to apologize when an Inspector General report found that <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/213933-cia-admits-to-wrongly-hacking-into-senate-computers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate computers were in fact “hacked” by CIA officials</a>.

Brennan has been accused of arming radical Islamists during the Syrian Civil War. As The American Conservative documents, <a href="https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/how-america-armed-terrorists-in-syria/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The CIA—under Brennan's direction—played a significant role in supplying deadly weapons to al-Qaeda affiliates</a> in an attempt to topple the Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad.

In his final years as CIA director, Brennan played a prominent role in what later became known as “Russiagate.” During the 2016 general election, intelligence agencies attempted to determine whether or not then-presidential candidate Donald Trump coordinated with the Russian Government to <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/288883-wikileaks-posts-20000-dnc-emails" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hack and release sensitive emails from the Democratic National Committee</a>. Special Counsel Robert Mueller later found that there was <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/mueller-report-found-no-evidence-of-trump-russia-collusion-justice-dept/a-48046468" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no evidence of any coordination between the Trump Campaign and the Russian Government</a>.

While investigating Trump, John Brennan relied on allegations in what became known as the “Steele Dossier”— <a href="https://www.npr.org/2017/08/23/545289362/researcher-behind-unverified-trump-dossier-meets-senate-investigators" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a series of salacious allegations and potentially compromising information against Donald Trump</a> — compiled by British Intelligence agent Christopher Steele. The <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/09/steeles-dossier-source-was-a-suspected-russian-spy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">source for the dossier was later found to be a suspected Russian Spy,</a> who likely <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/453384-fbis-spreadsheet-puts-a-stake-through-the-heart-of-steeles-dossier" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exaggerated or falsified his information</a>.

Despite <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/442944-fbis-steele-story-falls-apart-false-intel-and-media-contacts-were-flagged" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agents flagging the information as false</a>, the Steele Dossier was later used as the basis to <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2019/12/09/ig-report-confirms-no-fisa-warrant-on-carter-page-without-steele-dossier/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">obtain warrants to surveil members of the Trump campaign</a>. Initially pushing to include the information, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2019/12/09/brennan-lied-about-not-including-steele-dossier-in-intelligence-community-assessment-on-2016-russian-election-interference/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brennan later lied under congressional oath, stating he did not include the Steele Dossier in intelligence briefings</a>.

Declassified, handwritten notes from Brennan further show that he assisted in <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/dni-releases-cia-documents-hillary-204337457.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">efforts to tie the Trump campaign to Russia</a> to benefit the Hillary Clinton campaign. This is consistent with testimony accusing <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2020/05/12/fox-news-john-brennan-russia-hillary-clinton/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brennan of suppressing intelligence that the Russian Government wanted Hillary Clinton to win</a> the 2016 presidential election.

Brennan continued to publically attack President Trump after the 2016 election, accusing <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/08/19/brennan_on_sunday_i_stand_by_accusing_president_trump_of_treason.html#!" target="_blank" rel="noopener">him of “treason” against the United States on behalf of Russia</a>.

On his personal Twitter account, Brennan demands that conservatives need to publically recant their support of Donald Trump and admit that it was wrong to support the President of the United States.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Anyone now seeking national redemption by claiming to no longer support Trump must acknowledge how wrong it was to ignore &amp; enable his corrupt, dishonest, &amp; divisive agenda.
Total denunciation of a despot’s legacy is necessary to eradicate any remaining malignancy.

Brennan has admitted in the past that he voted for the Communist Party in past elections. According to CNN, Brennan <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2016/09/15/politics/john-brennan-cia-communist-vote/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recounts</a> that he admitted to voting for the Communist Party Candidate, Gus Hall, in the 1976 general election. Brennan is reported <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2016/09/15/politics/john-brennan-cia-communist-vote/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stating</a> that voting for Hall was his way of “signaling his unhappiness of the system.”

As The Spectator <a href="https://spectator.org/john-brennans-president-remembering-comrade-gus-hall/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documents</a>, Gus Hall was a four-time presidential candidate and leader of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). Throughout his career, Hall defended atrocities committed by the Soviet Union while secretly receiving tens of millions of dollars from the Kremlin.

Dr. Kevin Cokley is the <a href="https://education.utexas.edu/faculty/kevin_cokley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department Chair of the Department of Educational Psychology</a> as well as a Professor of African American Diaspora Studies and Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas - Austin. He is a Distinguished Teaching Professor and is published in many outlets, including Journal of Black Psychology, The Huffington Post, and The Hill. Dr. Cokley has taught many courses, some of which are Psychology of African American Experience and Multicultural Counseling.

Dr. Cokley is very openly pro-critical race theory. <a href="https://www.courierpress.com/story/opinion/2021/07/15/viewpoint-teaching-critical-race-theory-patriotic-not-anti-american/7982099002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In an opinion piece for Courier &amp; Press</a>, Dr. Cokley claims that critical race theory is actually patriotic. He accuses conservatives of pushing a false narrative about critical race theory by claiming it’s “divisive, hostile, and anti-American… and teaches kids to hate each other” which is a “politicized misrepresentation.”

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1841" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-19-at-9.24.38-AM.png" alt="" width="453" height="144" />

Later in the article, Dr. Cokley makes the claim that the first line of the U.S. Constitution, “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union…” suggests that even our founders believed America is a work-in progress. According to him, critical race theory reminds us that this is still very true.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1842" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-19-at-9.25.31-AM.png" alt="" width="494" height="177" />

Dr. Cokley <a href="https://redstate.com/alexparker/2021/07/09/usa-today-runs-pro-critical-race-theory-piece-professor-says-crts-not-divisive-or-anti-american-n408847" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defines critical race theory</a> as an idea “which posits that racism is not simply acts of individual bias or prejudice, but rather is embedded in institutions, policies and legal systems.” While he states he has never explicitly taught critical race theory, he does teach ideas consistent with critical race theory by providing students with examples of how Black inferiority and racism are deeply woven into modern school practices. He asserts that conservatives who are against critical race theory are wanting to prevent any type of discussion around racism or putting America in a negative light. Dr. Cokley argues that there is nothing anti-American about acknowledging the fact that racism is woven into the fabric of the United States.

In June of 2021, Dr. Cokley appeared on a <a href="https://www.fox7austin.com/video/690219" target="_blank" rel="noopener">segment for Fox 7 News Austin</a> discussing racial injustices. The video shows violent riots after the death of George Floyd while Dr. Cokley justifies this behavior because of racial injustice in America. The clip can be viewed <a href="https://www.fox7austin.com/video/690219" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.

Yvette Felarca is a <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvette-felarca-bb5671214" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teacher at Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School</a> in the Berkeley Unified School District in California. She has been teaching at the middle school for over 14 years.

When she isn’t molding young minds in the classroom, Felarca can be found <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/militant-left-wing-leader-arrested-for-allegedly-inciting-violence-at-2016-sacramento-melee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inciting Antifa riots</a> with her leftist group, BAMN. Felarca is one of the leaders of BAMN, which stands for “By Any Means Necessary.” <a href="https://www.bamn.com/about-bamn-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to their website</a>, BAMN is a democratic youth-led civil rights and immigrant rights organization that is “fighting to put the oppressed in power.”

<img class="alignnone wp-image-1784" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-15-at-1.11.22-PM.png" alt="" width="245" height="349" />

In 2016, Felarca was arrested twice on charges of inciting riots and violence in California. She was also arrested on a felony charge of assault. Felarca asked the judge to dismiss the charges on the grounds that she was the victim of a “political witch hunt,” but the<a href="https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2018/05/10/judge-refuses-dismiss-charges-antifa-leader-yvette-felarca-n257842" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> judge ruled the felony case against her could proceed</a>. She ultimately pled “No Contest” to the charges and was only required to serve 90 hours of community service.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1782" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-15-at-1.01.26-PM.png" alt="" width="527" height="176" />

After the arrests, conservative outlet Judicial Watch filed a request to the Berkeley Unified School District to release any emails related to Felarca and her Antifa group, BAMN. Felarca then sued the district, claiming that releasing the emails would violate her rights to free speech and freedom of expression. The judge, however, <a href="https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2018/11/01/judge-orders-release-yvette-felarcas-emails-n264708" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruled that releasing the documents</a> did not violate any rights. The judge also ruled that Felarca was required to pay Judicial Watch $22,000 for their legal fees for filing a frivolous lawsuit against them.

Over 150 pages of emails were released to Judicial Watch. One email even mentioned how Felarca requires her students to participate in political activities, <a href="https://www.berkeleyside.org/2018/10/30/berkeley-unified-flooded-with-angry-calls-threats-over-felarca-records-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">including having students make anti-Trump stickers</a>, in class.

Felarca went on Tucker Carlson to discuss how violent leftist protesters were justified in their actions to shut down right-wing speech. The interview in its entirety can be viewed below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_CGO2TjYIM

After the felony charges were brought against Felarca, she was placed on administrative leave by the district. However, she was back teaching in the classroom only six weeks later. As of Fall 2021, Felarca is still teaching at Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School.

Self-described as a “radical anti-racist white teacher”, he has repeatedly demonized police officers on his personal <a style="color: #000000;" href="https://twitter.com/KempoJesse">social media accounts</a>, <a style="color: #000000;" href="https://yellowhammernews.com/auburn-professor-f-every-single-cop/">tweeting</a>:

<a href="https://www.snc.edu/academics/faculty/craig.ford.html">Craig A. Ford Jr</a>. is an assistant professor of Theology and Religious Studies at St. Norbert College in Wisconsin.
During the 2021 riot at the US Capitol, Ford tweeted that white people could storm the Capitol without concern for any repercussions.
<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-1128 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-01-at-9.07.49-AM.png" alt="" width="483" height="158" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-01-at-9.07.49-AM.png 483w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-01-at-9.07.49-AM-300x98.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px" />
Ford repeatedly levels <a href="https://twitter.com/cfordjr/status/1087011407948926978">attacks</a> on Catholics and the students at the Covington High School (referred here as the Convington Kids). At the center of a media firestorm during the 2019 March for Life, the students were initially <a href="https://reason.com/2019/01/20/covington-catholic-nathan-phillips-video/">accused</a> of confronting and harassing Native American and Black activists. However, the confrontation’s <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/01/21/case-of-the-covington-kids-is-a-perfect-example-of-media-bias/">full video</a> exonerates the students, showing that they were in fact the ones approached and berated by members of the Black Hebrew Israelite activist group. The activists are seen yelling, “Christ is coming back to kick your cracker asses,” at the students.
Despite the mounting evidence, Ford accuses the students and the Catholic Church at large emblematic of institutional racism,
<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-1117 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Screen-Shot-2021-02-26-at-5.38.58-PM.png" alt="" width="496" height="244" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Screen-Shot-2021-02-26-at-5.38.58-PM.png 496w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Screen-Shot-2021-02-26-at-5.38.58-PM-300x148.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 496px) 100vw, 496px" />
The next day, Ford, Jr. <a href="https://twitter.com/cfordjr/status/1087501018080907264">defends</a> the Black Hebrew Israelites and describes the racial epithets they leveled at the Covington Students as “calling out settler colonialism.”

As the full details of the confrontation increasingly exonerated the Convington Kids from any wrongdoing, and further indicted the Black Hebrew Israelites, Craig A Ford, Jr., only proceeds to double down on his claim that the encounter was emblematic of white supremacy.
<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-1119 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Screen-Shot-2021-02-26-at-5.41.52-PM.png" alt="" width="496" height="243" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Screen-Shot-2021-02-26-at-5.41.52-PM.png 496w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Screen-Shot-2021-02-26-at-5.41.52-PM-300x147.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 496px) 100vw, 496px" />
Ford is a vocal opponent of the 1776 Commission. Members of the commission were appointed by Donald Trump in order to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210120010103/https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/1776-commission-takes-historic-scholarly-step-restore-understanding-greatness-american-founding/">promote</a> American history and values in schools. Critiquing what he refers to as the “enlightened patriotism,”  Ford refers to this as the “<a href="https://www.ncronline.org/news/opinion/we-must-reject-white-racist-god-1776-report">white racist god</a>” of the 1776 Commission.

In a separate article entitled, LGBT Catholics Are a Reality, published in Commonweal Magazine, Ford, Jr. <a href="https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/lgbt-catholics-are-reality">decried</a> the Trump administration&#8217;s redefinition of Title IX that recognized that there are only two genders. Ford, Jr. says that upholding the Title IX policy “would impact nearly 1.4 million Americans who do not identify with the gender indicated on their birth certificates, prompting transgender and gender-queer persons (and those who stand with them) to characterize the proposal as transphobic and anti-LGBTQ+.” Ford, Jr. concludes that longstanding views of gender do not align “with the world in which we actually live.”

<a href="https://www.snc.edu/academics/faculty/craig.ford.html">Craig A. Ford Jr</a>. is an assistant professor of Theology and Religious Studies at St. Norbert College in Wisconsin.

During the 2021 riot at the US Capitol, Ford tweeted that white people could storm the Capitol without concern for any repercussions.

<img class="size-full wp-image-1128 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-01-at-9.07.49-AM.png" alt="" width="483" height="158" />

Ford repeatedly levels <a href="https://twitter.com/cfordjr/status/1087011407948926978">attacks</a> on Catholics and the students at the Covington High School (referred here as the Convington Kids). At the center of a media firestorm during the 2019 March for Life, the students were initially <a href="https://reason.com/2019/01/20/covington-catholic-nathan-phillips-video/">accused</a> of confronting and harassing Native American and Black activists. However, the confrontation’s <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/01/21/case-of-the-covington-kids-is-a-perfect-example-of-media-bias/">full video</a> exonerates the students, showing that they were in fact the ones approached and berated by members of the Black Hebrew Israelite activist group. The activists are seen yelling, “Christ is coming back to kick your cracker asses,” at the students.

Despite the mounting evidence, Ford accuses the students and the Catholic Church at large emblematic of institutional racism,

The next day, Ford, Jr. <a href="https://twitter.com/cfordjr/status/1087501018080907264">defends</a> the Black Hebrew Israelites and describes the racial epithets they leveled at the Covington Students as “calling out settler colonialism.”

As the full details of the confrontation increasingly exonerated the Convington Kids from any wrongdoing, and further indicted the Black Hebrew Israelites, Craig A Ford, Jr., only proceeds to double down on his claim that the encounter was emblematic of white supremacy.

<img class="size-full wp-image-1119 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Screen-Shot-2021-02-26-at-5.41.52-PM.png" alt="" width="496" height="243" />

Ford is a vocal opponent of the 1776 Commission. Members of the commission were appointed by Donald Trump in order to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210120010103/https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/1776-commission-takes-historic-scholarly-step-restore-understanding-greatness-american-founding/">promote</a> American history and values in schools. Critiquing what he refers to as the “enlightened patriotism,”  Ford refers to this as the “<a href="https://www.ncronline.org/news/opinion/we-must-reject-white-racist-god-1776-report">white racist god</a>” of the 1776 Commission.

Faced with the choice of being terminated or resigning, I ultimately opted for the latter.
Long story short: the far right&#8211;in concert with the soulless, amoral administration of Midwestern State University&#8211;has succeeded in destroying my academic career and, frankly, my life. “
