<a href="https://uncw.edu/chhs/shahs/about/johnson.html">Dr. Dan Johnson</a> is an Associate Professor for the School of Health and Applied Human Sciences at the University of North Carolina &#8211; Wilmington (UNCW).
On May 17, 2021, Dr. Johnson wrote a Facebook post—obtained by the site Campus Reform—that stated, “<a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=17701">Blow up Republicans</a>.”
No further explanation was given by Dr. Johnson for his animosity towards conservatives. After his post began receiving scrutiny, Dr. Johnson later wrote on his personal profile, “Time for my summer break from Facebook.”
In a statement to Campus Reform, the University stated they had “appropriately addressed” Dr. Johnson’s post. They later confirmed to the site that Dr. Johnson would still be teaching in the Fall 2021 semester.
Haylie Davis—a former student of Dr. Johnson’s—provided the following statement to Campus Reform: 
“Putting away any personal political preference aside, I think this matter should be addressed and dealt [with] in the same manner that it would be if the word &#8216;Republican&#8217; was replaced with any other word. If the post stated &#8216;Blow up women,&#8217; &#8216;Blow up homosexuals,&#8217; &#8216;Blow up Catholics,&#8217; etc.” 
She continued, “He not only represents a major university in the state of North Carolina, but he also represents a program of the university that prides itself in inclusivity. That statement is not something that represents an inclusive and accepting environment. In his position, political preference should not be expressed in such an aggressive manner that lacks the &#8217;empathy&#8217; that is expected and valued in today’s society and on college campuses.&#8221;
UPDATE: Through UNVW&#8217;s Office of University Relations, <a href="https://www.starnewsonline.com/story/news/2021/06/30/uncw-professor-dan-johnson-apologizes-deleted-facebook-post/7811843002/">Dr. Dan Johnson has released an apology</a>, which is included below:
&#8220;I posted a poorly worded expression of political frustration on my now-deleted personal Facebook page. I profoundly regret it,&#8221; Johnson said in his statement. &#8220;This statement does not reflect my personal values or UNCW’s culture of civil and respectful discourse. My attempt to &#8216;blow off steam&#8217; understandably caused concern among many students, parents, alumni and other members of the UNCW community. I deeply care about the students, faculty and staff at UNCW, and I apologize to them and the university and Wilmington community.&#8221;

In one of the most notorious cases, <a href="https://twitter.com/asatarbair/status/1408952378691256320?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tens of thousands died building the White-Sea Canal</a>—in the middle of the Russian winter—only for it to be largely impassable.

<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 &#8211; Downtown Phoenix</a>.
During a lecture in one of her courses—titled, “Foundations of Social Work”—Dr. Lorraine can be heard describing the United States as a “white supremacist system,” that was founded for the benefit of white people at the expense of Native Americans and people of color.
In the class—recorded and provided exclusively to the Professor Watchlist team by an anonymous source—Dr. Salas urges her students to confront the “implicit biases” present in themselves and American society. Claiming that stereotypes and prejudices construct implicit bias, she warns that unconscious actions can cause serious harm.
Attempting to provide an example to bolster her claim, Dr. Salas states that implicit bias causes doctors to act as if their black patients are slaves. She proceeds to cite a study that claims doctors give less pain medication to black patients as compared to white ones.
Dr. Salas alleges this is the product of the legacy of slavery; slave owners viewed blacks as subhuman and able to withstand a large amount of pain, so therefore doctors continue to believe that blacks can withstand a large amount of pain. Doctors will therefore prescribe black patients less pain medication.

&nbsp;
Dr. Salas additionally cites a study that claims teachers will call on boys more often than girls in their classrooms. She claims this as proof that teachers think boys answer questions correctly more often than girls.

&nbsp;
Throughout the lecture, Dr. Salas alleges that numerous racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in society are a result of implicit bias. She urges her students, as future social workers, to confront their own implicit biases and assigns an “implicit bias test” for them to complete before the next class.
Dr. Salas additionally claims that institutional racism produces inequality and disparities, attributing it to the legacy of slavery in the Americas. Although acknowledging that all cultures practiced slavery, she claims that no slave trade was enforced along racial lines until the Europeans did so in order to specifically oppress people of color.
Citing slavery, the genocide of Native Americans and discriminatory, Jim Crow laws, Dr. Salas claims that  America was constructed as a “white supremacist culture” for the sole benefit of white people who have maintained their “white power structures” ever since.

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

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

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

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&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;

&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>.

Ms. <a href="https://crimjust.rutgers.edu/people/faculty-directory/details/30-faculty/faculty/620-erakat-noura">Noura Erakat</a> is an Assistant Professor of Africana Studies at Rutgers University. According to her university profile, Professor Erakat specializes in fields that include international law, humanitarian law, human rights law, national security law, refugee law, and critical race theory. A harsh critic of the state of Israel, the professor has repeatedly demonized and called for the destruction of the only Jewish state in the world.
Professor Erakat’s work frequently characterizes Israel as a racist state that is equivalent to the apartheid-era South African government.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<a href="https://africanastudies.rutgers.edu/people/core-faculty/people-list/30-faculty/140-brittney-cooper">Brittney Cooper</a> is an associate professor of Africana and Women’s and Gender Studies at Rutgers University. Much of her research and writing centers around the intersections of race, feminism, and gender. Cooper’s work has led her to develop a number of bizarre opinions:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">While Cooper claims that most American Christians worship a God of “white supremacy and patriarchy,” she chooses to<a href="https://www.salon.com/2015/04/01/the_rights_made_up_god_how_bigots_invented_a_white_supremacist_jesus/"> worship a Jesus that was “queer”</a> and “married to a prostitute."</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">White families, like Mitt Romney’s,<a href="https://www.salon.com/2014/01/07/white_supremacy_wins_again_melissa_harris_perry_and_the_racial_false_equivalence/"> can’t properly raise black children</a>.</li>

 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">A founding principle of our nation is that black people are inhuman, therefore<a href="https://www.salon.com/2015/04/29/black_americas_baltimore_schism_why_the_freddie_gray_tragedy_demands_serious_soul_searching/"> riots are really just resistance</a> against an unjust system.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">BREXIT was the result of<a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=7760"> white nationalism.</a></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">And obesity in the black community is<a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=13866"> caused by racism</a>.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Cooper has publicly attacked conservatives on multiple occasions, most recently during a Livestream commentary on the DNC. Before launching into a tirade accusing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for “demolishing the civil rights movement,”</li>
</ul>
Cooper explained<a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=15668"> why American exceptionalism is a myth;</a>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-953 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-03-at-3.46.46-PM-1024x447.png" alt="" width="580" height="253" />
Cooper has attributed most of the deaths from the pandemic to racism and conservatives, stating that, “I feel like most Black people are clear that this utterly absurd push to re-open the country is all about a gross necropolitical calculation that it is Black people who are dying disproportionately from COVID,” and <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/rutgers-university-prof-reopening-the-country-is-about-killing-black-people/">blaming Trump supporters for the hundreds of thousands of deaths</a> due to the coronavirus.

Cooper has previously stated that a conservative’s beliefs are “rooted in racism.” In an appearance on MSNBC, <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/duncan-schroeder/2020/08/30/deranged-msnbc-pundit-goes-hateful-rant-against-trump-voters">Cooper stated that conservatives have a desire for power</a> at the expense of black and brown Americans.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-954 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-03-at-3.48.15-PM-1024x606.png" alt="" width="580" height="343" />

&nbsp;

Cooper has denigrated conservatives throughout her career along racial lines. <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?444245-2/eloquent-rage&amp;playEvent">During a speech in Baltimore</a>, she stated that as white men lose their power, they will continue to “terrorize” black men and women. In a previous thread, she stated that the black community is being eaten alive by “capitalism, patriarchy, and racism,” and white people won’t feel any negative consequences of these systems so long as they can continue to displace white people through systems like gentrification.

Ms. <a href="https://crimjust.rutgers.edu/people/faculty-directory/details/30-faculty/faculty/620-erakat-noura">Noura Erakat</a> is an Assistant Professor of Africana Studies at Rutgers University. According to her university profile, Professor Erakat specializes in fields that include international law, humanitarian law, human rights law, national security law, refugee law, and critical race theory.

Professor Erakat’s work frequently characterizes Israel as a racist state that is equivalent to the apartheid-era South African government. In a November 2019 interview with DemocracyNow, she stated, ”<a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2019/11/19/noura_erakat_israeli_settlements_trump_announcement">we are witnessing the entrenchment of an apartheid regime</a>, and the U.S. [is] at the helm of that process.”

In his personal time, Dr. Livingston often takes to Facebook to discuss similar topics, but in a less professional manner. <a href="https://pen.org/press-clip/white-professor-accused-of-antiwhite-racism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a Facebook post from May 31, 2018</a>, Dr. Livingston denounces the white race and belligerently asserts he “hates white people.” Later in the post, he calls white Americans “little caucasian assholes who know their parents will approve of anything they do” and “little shitheads.”

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

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

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

Identity Politics
Butler advocates for professors to strike on the job in order to promote social justice causes. First tweeting her support for an NBA-style <a href="https://www.sportsnet.ca/nba/article/emotional-frustrated-raptors-discussed-boycott-wake-jacob-blake-shooting/">strike</a> to protest “police violence,” Butler then created her own strike aimed at school and university staff called “Scholar Strike.”  <a href="https://www.scholarstrike.com/">Instructing</a> professors and faculty members of colleges and universities to walk out of their positions and teaching duties for two days, Scholar Strike intends to “call awareness to the racial climate in America, and the rash [sic] of police shootings and racialized violence.” As a result, hundreds of academics <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2020/08/28/professors-plan-strike-racial-justice">pledged</a> to join the strike.

In a 2020 Twitter thread, Butler also <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=15673">describes</a> conservatives as “craven and evil.” She levels <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/ivy-league-professor-award-carson-coon-of-the-year">attacks</a> against Dr. Ben Carson as the  “the coon of the year” over comments he made regarding the confederate flag. <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ben-Carson">Dr. Ben Carson</a> is a renowned neurosurgeon who served as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under the Trump Administration.

Butler believes that conservative candidates continue to receive support en masse from evangelicals due to fear. <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/white-evangelicals-love-trump-aren-t-confused-about-why-no-ncna1046826">Writing</a> for NBC News, Butler accuses conservatives of voting in order to preserve what political power they still have. Historically a dominant force, Butler states, evangelicals turn to authoritarians like Trump in order to protect themselves from societal change. She continues, stating that this is not a unique phenomenon, as Evangelicals have a long history of supporting racist movements and institutions.

The core of Butler’s popular authorship is her allegations of the overlap between evangelicalism and white supremacy, having written a book entitled, <a href="https://uncpress.org/book/9781469661179/white-evangelical-racism/">White Evangelical Racism</a> explaining this indictment. Interviewing on “Act. tv,” she <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMZpsrYGLeA&amp;ab_channel=act.tv">claims</a> that the history of Christianity in the United States is interwoven with the institution of slavery and support of the Ku Klux Klan.

During the same interview, Butler claims that evangelicals believe that that police are “ordained” by God to kill black people;

In a <a href="https://twitter.com/AntheaButler/status/1351922696989380609">tweet</a> from January of 2021, Butler repeated a claim from the same book that racism is inherent in evangelicals.

In 2013, Butler went as far as to claim that a “white-racist” is the god <a href="https://antheabutler.com/americas-racist-god/">worshipped</a> by this country.

Despite describing themselves as an inclusive, civil-rights organization, BLM embraces radically left-wing policies and tactics. Some of which include the following:

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:
&#8211; How does social media allow for critiques of race, gender, sexuality, and violence?
&#8211; 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>”

<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://eeb.arizona.edu/person/john-wiens">Dr. John Wiens</a> is a Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona. A scholar of extinction and evolutionary biology, Wiens joked that Donald Trump should kill himself over his climate and environmental policies.

<a href="https://linguistics.arizona.edu/user/noam-chomsky">Noam Chomsky</a> is a professor of Linguistics at the University of Arizona and, according to MIT, one of the most <a href="https://news.mit.edu/1992/citation-0415#:~:text=From%201972%20to%201992%2C%20Professor,in%20the%20Science%20Citation%20Index.">cited academics in human history</a>.

In an interview with C.J. Polychroniou, Chomsky <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/trump-in-the-white-house-an-interview-with-noam-chomsky/">states</a> that the Republican party is the “most dangerous organization in human history.” The New Yorker also reports Chomsky's claims that <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/noam-chomsky-believes-trump-is-the-worst-criminal-in-human-history">Donald Trump is a worse criminal than Adolf Hitler</a>.

Socialism
According to the New Criterion, Chomsky frequently <a href="https://newcriterion.com/issues/2003/5/the-hypocrisy-of-noam-chomsky">praised</a> the left-wing government of the Khmer Rouge and has publically disputed the credibility and existence of the Cambodian Genocide. Committed by the Khmer Rouge and its dictatorial head Pol Pot, it is <a href="https://cla.umn.edu/chgs/holocaust-genocide-education/resource-guides/cambodia#:~:text=Lasting%20for%20four%20years%20(between,following%20the%20Cambodian%20Civil%20War.">estimated</a> that at least 1.5 and 3 million people died between 1976 and 1979. Despite <a href="https://gsp.yale.edu/case-studies/cambodian-genocide-program">detailed reports</a> of starvation and systematic executions, Chomsky denied that any widespread killings had taken place and accused reporters of repeating right-wing propaganda and sensationalizing their stories. Chomsky attributes the deaths to US imperialism and executions of subversive elements to the communist government

&nbsp;
Antisemitism
Chomsky publically defends individuals who engage in Holocaust denial. As documented in Robert F. Barskey’s book, “Noam Chomsky: A Life of Dissent,” Chomsky was a <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=RKUbyYPG4mcC&amp;pg=PA180&amp;lpg=PA180&amp;dq=Dr.+Faurisson+has+served+as+a+respected+professor+of+twentieth-century+French+literature+and+document+criticism+for+over+four+years+at+the+University+of+Lyon+2+in+France.+Since+1974+he+has+been+conducting+extensive+independent+historical+research+into+the+%22Holocaust%22+question.+Since+he+began+making+his+findings+public,+Professor+Faurisson+has+been+subject+to+a+vicious+campaign+of+harassment,+intimidation,+slander,+and+physical+violence+in+a+crude+attempt+to+silence+him.+Fearful+officials+have+even+tried+to+stop+him+from+further+research+by+denying+him+access+to+public+libraries+and+archives.&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=_HNm25wsQ8&amp;sig=ACfU3U1uUzJGs8SMymEsOD-QnXHD08zr8A&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiT1NHe6IPvAhXGpZ4KHfKoCqoQ6AEwAHoECAMQAw#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false">signatory</a> to a petition in defense of the academic freedom of prominent Holocaust denier Robert Faurisson. <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=_TIrDwAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA59&amp;lpg=PA59&amp;dq=noam+chomsky+I+see+no+anti-Semitic+implications+in+denial+of+the+existence+of+gas+chambers,+or+even+denial+of+the+Holocaust&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=-ebdpQUkkR&amp;sig=ACfU3U0wrRkRwN-uGLqdPow6gCDxXd56ug&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiS-bPWuOXuAhWEBKYKHY_pAYI4FBDoATAAegQIBhAC#v=onepage&amp;q=noam%20chomsky%20I%20see%20no%20anti-Semitic%20implications%20in%20denial%20of%20the%20existence%20of%20gas%20chambers%2C%20or%20even%20denial%20of%20the%20Holocaust&amp;f=false">Stating</a> that he sees nothing antisemitic about Faurisson's work, Chomsky would even author the forward to Faurisson's next book.

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

<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://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>”

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://gca.columbia.edu/people/flores-forbes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Flores Forbes</a> is an Associate Vice President for Community Affairs at Columbia University. Mr. Flores is a convicted murderer who served as Huey Newton’s enforcer in the Black Panther Party.
The organization was<a href="https://www.history.com/topics/civil-rights-movement/black-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> formed by black nationalists, Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, in 1966 as the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense.</a> The group’s early activities included monitoring police and social programs for urban communities.
<a href="http://web.stanford.edu/~ccarson/articles/am_left.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The party was explicitly organized along</a> Marxist-Leninist lines. Members were <a href="https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/reflections-panthers-john-perazzo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">required to read communist texts such as Mao Zedong’s, Red Book and Che Guevara</a>. Bobby Seale was known to <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/whitewashing-the-black-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fondly quote Soviet Dictator, Joseph Stalin</a>.
Despite their alleged philanthropy, the Panthers used their community programs–dubbed survival programs—as a front for criminal activity. David Horowitz—who worked for the Panthers at the time—observed the Panthers&#8217; <a href="https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/pbs-propaganda-machine-black-panther-killers-frontpagemagcom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">embezzling and illegal trafficking operations based out of the Oakland Community Center.</a>
The Panthers were feared for their mob-like enforcement and brutality. Members were <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/whitewashing-the-black-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">known to pour boiling water over suspected </a>police informants and fire-bomb the cars of journalists. Co-founder, Huey Newton, was convicted—which was later overturned by an appellate court—and spent time in prison for the murder of police officer, John Frey. He is further <a href="https://www.salon.com/1999/12/13/betty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspected to have taken part in multiple murders</a> committed by the Panthers.
Known as Newton’s “internal enforcer”, Mr. Forbes carried out at least one execution on behalf of his boss. <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2020/12/radical-son-frontpagemagcom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Flores was ordered to perform a hit against Crystal Gray</a>, who had witnessed Newton murder a prostitute—Kathleen Smith—and was set to testify in his trial.
However, Mr. Forbes and the other assassins mistakenly arrived at the address of a fellow Panther, who returned fire and injured Mr. Forbes before he was killed. Following a nationwide manhunt, Mr. Forbes turned himself in, where he was convicted and spent 5 years in prison for second-degree murder.
Mr. Forbes is also suspected in the murder of Betty Van Patter. As a book-maker for the Panthers, Patter <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160110093526/http://www.insidebayarea.com/ci_5016589" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was a first-hand witness to the organization’s criminal activity and threatened to expose the Panthers to the press</a>. After missing for five weeks, her body was recovered in the San Francisco Bay.
Although Mr. Forbes is believed by Patter’s daughter and the <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2020/12/radical-son-frontpagemagcom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI to be responsible for her killing</a>, no arrests were made. Furthermore, the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180330211353/http://fbidocs.com/betty-van-patter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI destroyed all files relating to Patter in 2009</a>, so the apparent murder will remain unsolved. The Black Panther party dissolved in 1984 and Huey Newton was murdered in 1989. Mr. Forbes went on to author a book about his time in the Panthers—titled, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Will-You-Die-Me-Panther/dp/0743482689" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Will You Die with Me?</a>— and <a href="https://news.columbia.edu/news/cu-people-flores-forbes-urban-planner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has worked at Columbia since 2007</a>.

Columbia University

<a href="https://journalism.columbia.edu/faculty/dale-maharidge">Dale Maharidge</a> is a Journalism Professor at Columbia University who ironically does not take well to criticism. After finding out he was under investigation on Project Veritas' "To Catch A Journalist" he reacted with a series of explicit and sophomoric rants on social media.

<a href="http://socialwork.columbia.edu/faculty/adjunct/kathy-boudin/">Dr. Kathy Boudin</a> teaches social work classes at Columbia University, despite having a lengthy criminal record. Boudin, a convicted murderer and a member of Bill Ayers' domestic terrorism group the Weather Underground, had no problem finding a job teaching at Columbia. According to The Daily Beast "In 1984, Boudin, a member of the Weather Underground, a violent, oafish association of upper-class “revolutionaries,” pled guilty to second-degree murder in association with the infamous 1981 Brinks armored car robbery in Nyack, New York. Babbling in the language of anti-racism and anti-imperialism, Boudin assisted in ending the life of three people, including Waverly Brown, the first black police officer on the Nyack police force, and left nine children fatherless. She was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. In 2003, Boudin was released; by 2008 she had landed a coveted teaching position at an Ivy League university."

<a href="http://www.law.columbia.edu/faculty/kayum-ahmed">Professor Kayum Ahmed</a>, Columbia University Law School, filed a “discrimination and harassment complaint” against the College Republicans after they invited Tommy Robinson to speak on campus, arguing that the invitation itself was an “act of violence” against him.

<a href="https://www.northeastern.edu/law/faculty/directory/williams-p.html">Patricia Williams </a>is a Professor of Law and Humanities at Northeastern University. Williams, in an editorial for The Nation, wrote " the history of the right to bear arms is shaped by exclusionary privilege based on race and gender. It is almost exclusively white men who may “reasonably” carry firearms to protests outside Target or political conventions", although still 20% of Hispanic and African-American homes own guns according to Pew research.

<a href="https://history.columbia.edu/faculty/khalidi-rashid/">Dr. Rashid Khalidi</a>, a Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University, laced criticism of Trump's foreign policy with Anti-Semitism. Discussing Trump's position on Israel, Khalidi said "They have a vision whereby there is no such thing as the Palestinians. They have a vision whereby international law doesn’t exist. They have a vision whereby the United States can unilaterally cancel a decision of the United Nations. And unfortunately, these people infest the Trump transition team, these people are going to infest our government as of January 20th. And they are hand in glove with a similar group of people in the Israeli government and in Israeli political life who think that whatever they think can be imposed on reality."

<a href="https://palestine.mei.columbia.edu/people/hamid-dabashi">Hamid Dabashi</a> is the Hagop Kevorkian Professor of Iranian Studies and Comparative Literature at Columbia University. 

As a board member of the U.S. Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, Dabashi is ferociously <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Hamid_Dabashi">anti-Israel</a>, going so far as <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/18/education/mideast-tensions-are-getting-personal-on-campus-at-columbia.html">cancelling classes</a> so that his students can attend anti-Israel rallies.

When Iranian dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke at Columbia, Dabashi was one of his most vocal defenders against fellow professors. <a href="https://www.nysun.com/new-york/columbia-professor-calls-bollinger-white/">Writing</a> for an Egyptian newspaper, Dabashi accused Ahmadinejad’s critics of racism, claiming “the most ridiculous clichés of the neocon propaganda machinery, wrapped in the missionary position of a white racist supremacist carrying the heavy burden of civilizing the world.”

In 2018, Dabashi received criticism for a now-deleted <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=10484">Facebook post</a> in which he accused the Women’s March of being “deeply infiltrated” by “Zionists”, who want to hijack the organization to benefit Israel.

“The Woman’s (sic) March has now emerged as a major movement in the US and of course the Zionists have deeply infiltrated it the way they infiltrated the Civil rights Movement of the 1960s and sought to twist it to the advantage of Israel,”

<a href="https://polisci.columbia.edu/content/jeffrey-r-lax">Jeffery Lax</a> is a professor of Political Science at Columbia University. He also serves as Deputy Chair of Columbia's Political Science Department.

<a href="https://campusreform.org/?id=14870">In an online dispute</a> over the President of the United States, Lax publicly accosted a Columbia student online. After accusing the President of murdering Americans, Lax then attacked Gabriel Montalvo, a conservative, referring to him as “stupid” and “evil,” in posts provided by Montalvo on his <a href="https://twitter.com/Baron_Montalvo/status/1247164493748146178">twitter account</a>.

Further on, he referred to Montalvo, who is Hispanic, as a “neo-nazi” after telling him to “drop dead”. Lax called Montalvo a neo-Nazi multiple times in the exchange and even insinuated that he brandishes a swastika.

<a href="https://directory.columbia.edu/people/uni?code=jbc2167">James Comey</a>–the former FBI director best known for directing the Russia investigation against President Trump– is now a lecturer at Columbia University <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/12/02/ex-fbi-director-james-comey-to-teach-at-columbia-law-school/">for the Spring 2021 semester</a>. Comey’s course is titled “Lawyers and Leaders.”  The <a href="https://reuben-mark.law.columbia.edu/content/reuben-mark-initiative-announces-spring-2021-leaders-residence">university’s website</a> writes that Comey’s experiences as a federal prosecutor and FBI director “represents a broadening of the Mark Initiative’s focus to include leadership of major public institutions, complementing existing offerings relating to corporations and law firms.”

In 2016 under Comey’s leadership, the FBI opened an investigation to determine whether the Trump campaign had colluded with the Russian government to defeat his opposing  Presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton. It is important to note that Special Counsel Robert Muller <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/no-collusion-attorney-general-william-barr-emily-zanotti">later determined that there was no evidence against President Trump.</a>

Much of the underlying information that formed the basis of the investigation was provided by a former-British spy, Christopher Steele– known as the “Steele Dossier.” <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/09/steeles-dossier-source-was-a-suspected-russian-spy/">Steele relied on a series of rumors from a sole source that was later determined to be a suspected Russian spy</a>. Members of Comey’s own <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/442944-fbis-steele-story-falls-apart-false-intel-and-media-contacts-were-flagged">FBI flagged the allegations in the dossier as false and were</a> ignored. This information was eventually used to obtain surveillance warrants for individuals involved with the Trump campaign. Despite being fired by the FBI for misconduct, <a href="https://thehill.com/hilltv/rising/400810-opinion-how-a-senior-justice-official-helped-dems-on-trump-russia-case">Steele was still used as a source–with Bruce Ohr serving as his conduit to ferry information to the Bureau</a>.

Once Trump assumed office, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/05/11/why-did-obama-tell-the-fbi-to-hide-its-activities-from-the-trump-administration/">Comey withheld evidence from the Trump Administration</a> about his investigation. The FBI had briefed President Trump’s campaign regarding Russian interference into the election, but failed to disclose that members of the campaign were the subject of the investigation itself.

Comey played a pivotal role in the perjury trap that resulted in the firing and prosecution of General Michael Flynn. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates testified that <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/08/05/sally-yates-comey-went-rogue-in-launching-perjury-trap-on-flynn/">Comey “went rogue” in his pursuit to prosecute Flynn</a>. Sources claim that the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-official-on-mueller-team-says-flynn-prosecution-was-used-to-get-trump-says-collusion-probe-was-not-there">FBI zealously pursued the investigation of Flynn in order to get him to flip and inform on any potential crimes committed by Trump.</a>

An Inspector General’s Report later <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/02/latest-inspector-general-report-slams-comeys-fbi-for-massive-failures-to-document-fisa-claims/">excoriated Comey for the abuses that were committed under his leadership</a>. When questioned in a congressional hearing, Comey claimed that he<a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/30/comey-its-not-my-job-to-make-sure-fisa-applications-are-accurate/"> bore no responsibility to ensure whether or not the information in the warrants were accurate</a> and could <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/01/supercut-james-comey-doesnt-recall-anything-about-anything/">remember little else about the investigation that he oversaw</a>.

Comey was also cited by the Department of Justice for <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-trump-russia-comey/doj-declines-to-prosecute-comey-despite-finding-that-he-leaked-info-idUSKCN1VJ1UO">improperly leaking sensitive information to the press</a>.

<a href="https://law.ucla.edu/faculty/faculty-profiles/kimberle-w-crenshaw">Dr. Kimberlé Crenshaw</a> is a Professor of Law and the Promise Institute Chair in Human Rights at the <a href="https://www.ucla.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA)</a>. She also teaches law as a professor at the <a href="https://www.law.columbia.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbia School of Law</a>.

Dr. Crenshaw is best recognized as a founding scholar of critical race theory and intersectionality. She has continued to make significant contributions to each field throughout her career. Both concepts have been widely adopted by the radical left as the basis for their activism and movements.

Dr. Crenshaw <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/1229039?read-now=1&amp;refreqid=excelsior%3Ad80f43d375e3f40179924f768317a237&amp;seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first defined intersectionality in a landmark paper published for the Stanford Law Review, titled, “Mapping the Margins.</a>” In it, she praises identity politics as necessary to the lived experiences of American minorities.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1601 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-21T154303.317-e1632264218191-1024x378.png" alt="" width="580" height="214" />

However, Dr. Crenshaw then comments that identity politics does not go nearly far enough, countering that intersectionality is needed to successfully combat what she alleges is the systemic oppression minorities face in America.

Intersectionality is used by activists and academics to depict racial and sexual oppression as interconnected amongst various minority groups. For example in “Mapping the Margins,” Dr. Crenshaw claims that a black woman would suffer from both systemic racism and sexism in America. She further characterizes the theory as the link between <a href="https://newdiscourses.com/2021/03/forging-woke-one-ring-kimberle-crenshaws-mapping-margins/">contemporary politics and postmodernism</a>. Academic James Lindsay describes <a href="https://newdiscourses.com/2021/03/forging-woke-one-ring-kimberle-crenshaws-mapping-margins/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">intersectionality as the “birthplace of wokeness.”</a>

Much of intersectionality’s academic framework was used by Dr. Crenshaw to develop concepts of critical race theory. She drew additional inspiration from <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/nov/12/kimberle-crenshaw-the-woman-who-revolutionised-feminism-and-landed-at-the-heart-of-the-culture-wars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">critical legal studies, which, like critical race theory, posits that no American law can truly be neutral or impartial.</a>

Ben Shapiro defines critical race theory—also referred to as critical theory—in an article for Breitbart <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as an intellectual branch of Marxism that alleges American society and all of its founding institutions are infected with white supremacy</a>. 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. Crenshaw herself further defined the concept in an appearance on MSNBC in July of 2021, She characterized her theory as a method to understand how racial inequality is produced—or acts as a “conduit”—from laws, institutions, and historical oppression, all of which are referenced interchangeably with white supremacy. The full video may be viewed below.

&nbsp;

One such institution that Dr. Crenshaw targets are police departments and policing as a whole. In a <a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/sandylocks/status/1306271685625049089?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweet from September 2020</a>, she demanded that all police departments be defunded, a move deemed necessary for the full dismantlement of “white nationalism.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
The call to <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DefundThePolice?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#DefundThePolice</a> should be a mandate to dismantle the hyper-militaristic, racist functions of the police as the coercive power of white nationalism.
Defunding the police needs to be a call for the de-weaponizing of white supremacy. <a href="https://t.co/rg0bdzImQn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/rg0bdzImQn</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Crenshaw’s work and activism have been instrumental to school districts adopting critical race theory into their curriculums. One district in Illinois allegedly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawsuit-illinois-school-district-forced-students-on-privilege-walks-compared-whiteness-to-the-devil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">segregated students by race during a “privilege walk</a>” and compared “whiteness” to the devil during class lessons. Another school district in Buffalo, New York taught students that<a href="https://www.city-journal.org/buffalo-public-schools-critical-race-theory-curriculum" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> America is, “built on racism,” and all Americans, “have an implicit racial bias.</a>”

Dr. Crensaw’s work has spawned other prominent critical race theorists like Dr. Nikole Hannah-Jones, author of the 1619 Project. She has described <a href="https://news.columbia.edu/news/what-does-intersectionality-mean-2021-kimberle-crenshaws-podcast-must-listen-way-learn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Jones work as “phenomenal” to the rethinking of the American founding</a>.

Dr. Jones <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims</a> that America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England. <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/03/14/new-york-times-corrects-the-1619-project-but-its-still-a-giant-lie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Though now retracted for numerous false claims</a>, the documents have now been <a href="https://dc.medill.northwestern.edu/blog/2020/07/21/the-1619-project-curriculum-taught-in-over-4500-schools-frederick-county-public-schools-has-the-option/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added to the curriculum of 4,500 schools across the country</a>.

Despite evidence to the contrary, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/7-lying-media-outlets-claiming-crt-isnt-being-taught-in-public-schools" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a number of pundits on the left claim that critical race theory isn’t being taught in schools</a>. However, Dr. Crenshaw herself has written that the theory may serve as a <a href="https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1417313212207271936?s=27" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“catch-all” for race-based scholarship</a>.

Dr. Kendall Thomas is a <a href="https://www.law.columbia.edu/faculty/kendall-thomas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nash Professor of Law</a> at Columbia University. His areas of study include Family, Gender, &amp; Sexuality and Social Justice &amp; Human Rights. Dr. Thomas is the co-founder and director of the Center for the Study of Law and Culture at Columbia University, and he is co-editor of <a href="https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/books/101/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Critical Race Theory: The Key Writings That Founded the Movement</a> with fellow Professor Watchlist professors Dr. <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/crenshaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kimberlé Crenshaw</a> and Dr. <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/garypellar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gary Pellar</a>. In his free time, he is a professional jazz vocalist.

When Dr. Thomas isn’t teaching in the law classroom or singing jazz music, he can be found vehemently supporting critical race theory. <a href="https://www.hawaiipublicradio.org/local-news/2021-06-01/critical-race-theory-for-k-12-graders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a radio clip for Hawaii Public Radio</a>, Dr. Thomas discussed his beliefs about critical race theory in the classroom. In his opinion, critical race theory should be taught to children, including K-12 classrooms. He claims that the American Revolution of 1776 isn’t comprehensive of our country’s history, and we need to be teaching about the slavery that occured in 1619 to really understand this country.

During <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/what-critical-race-theory-why-do-some-want-ban-1587389" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a conversation with a journalist at Newsweek</a>, Dr. Thomas discusses critical race theory and why some are against it. Dr. Thomas alleges that conservatives and others are “over-the-top attacking” critical race theory despite having no idea what CRT actually is. He asserts that conservatives want to shut down critical race theory so they won’t “lose the national debate… about institutional racism.”

He argues that if you care about the future of our democratic republic, you need to support the teachings and learning that CRT stands for. Dr. Thomas states that critical race theory is a body of writing and method of research about the meaning of race both today and historically.

Dr. Thomas often takes to Twitter to discuss critical race theory, politics, and his disdain for conservatives. <a href="https://twitter.com/Ill_Legitimacy/status/1326013415178039302" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In one tweet</a>, he accused conservatives of weaponizing the government in attempts to undo the 2020 presidential election results.

<a href="https://gca.columbia.edu/people/flores-forbes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Flores Forbes</a> is an Associate Vice President for Community Affairs at Columbia University. Mr. Flores is a convicted murderer who served as Huey Newton’s enforcer in the Black Panther Party.

The organization was<a href="https://www.history.com/topics/civil-rights-movement/black-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> formed by black nationalists, Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, in 1966 as the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense.</a> The group’s early activities included monitoring police and social programs for urban communities.

<a href="http://web.stanford.edu/~ccarson/articles/am_left.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The party was explicitly organized along</a> Marxist-Leninist lines. Members were <a href="https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/reflections-panthers-john-perazzo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">required to read communist texts such as Mao Zedong’s, Red Book and Che Guevara</a>. Bobby Seale was known to <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/whitewashing-the-black-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fondly quote Soviet Dictator, Joseph Stalin</a>.

Despite their alleged philanthropy, the Panthers used their community programs–dubbed survival programs—as a front for criminal activity. David Horowitz—who worked for the Panthers at the time—observed the Panthers' <a href="https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/pbs-propaganda-machine-black-panther-killers-frontpagemagcom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">embezzling and illegal trafficking operations based out of the Oakland Community Center.</a>

The Panthers were feared for their mob-like enforcement and brutality. Members were <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/whitewashing-the-black-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">known to pour boiling water over suspected </a>police informants and fire-bomb the cars of journalists. Co-founder, Huey Newton, was convicted—which was later overturned by an appellate court—and spent time in prison for the murder of police officer, John Frey. He is further <a href="https://www.salon.com/1999/12/13/betty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspected to have taken part in multiple murders</a> committed by the Panthers.

Known as Newton’s “internal enforcer”, Mr. Forbes carried out at least one execution on behalf of his boss. <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2020/12/radical-son-frontpagemagcom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Flores was ordered to perform a hit against Crystal Gray</a>, who had witnessed Newton murder a prostitute—Kathleen Smith—and was set to testify in his trial.

However, Mr. Forbes and the other assassins mistakenly arrived at the address of a fellow Panther, who returned fire and injured Mr. Forbes before he was killed. Following a nationwide manhunt, Mr. Forbes turned himself in, where he was convicted and spent 5 years in prison for second-degree murder.

Mr. Forbes is also suspected in the murder of Betty Van Patter. As a book-maker for the Panthers, Patter <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160110093526/http://www.insidebayarea.com/ci_5016589" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was a first-hand witness to the organization’s criminal activity and threatened to expose the Panthers to the press</a>. After missing for five weeks, her body was recovered in the San Francisco Bay.

Although Mr. Forbes is believed by Patter’s daughter and the <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2020/12/radical-son-frontpagemagcom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI to be responsible for her killing</a>, no arrests were made. Furthermore, the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180330211353/http://fbidocs.com/betty-van-patter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI destroyed all files relating to Patter in 2009</a>, so the apparent murder will remain unsolved. The Black Panther party dissolved in 1984 and Huey Newton was murdered in 1989. Mr. Forbes went on to author a book about his time in the Panthers—titled, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Will-You-Die-Me-Panther/dp/0743482689" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Will You Die with Me?</a>— and <a href="https://news.columbia.edu/news/cu-people-flores-forbes-urban-planner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has worked at Columbia since 2007</a>.

<a href="https://www.tc.columbia.edu/faculty/kf2119/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Karen Froud</a> is an Associate Professor of Neuroscience and Education at the Teachers College of Columbia University in New York City.

In a letter to colleagues, Dr. Froud urged them to boycott Israel and its universities, accusing both of contributing to apartheid-like conditions in the Palestinian territories.

Her remarks were spurred by the comments of another colleague, Gerry Leisman, who asked fellow scientists to continue their reviews for his research. Dr. Talisman is a neuroscientist at the University of Haifa in Israel.

“Hi, 

I am the guest editor of a special issue of the Journal Brain Sciences and we are producing a special issue of the journal entitled, “The Brain Goes to School, details for which can be found at the following link:

https://www.mdpi.com/.../brai.../special_issues/brain_school

We are recruiting both reviews and results of experimental studies that related to human learning, its difficulties, remediation strategies, models, cognitive science, cognitive neuropsychology all essentially attempting to translate 150 years of cognitive neuroscience into classroom Applications [sic].” 

&nbsp;

In her reply, Dr. Froud urges her colleagues to refuse the request <a href="https://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2022/03/columbia-bds-professor-little-unclear.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on the grounds that the University of Haifa is an “apartheid institution,” and adhere to the demands of the “Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement</a>.”

“Dear colleagues - 

I urge you to consider this request in light of the Boycotts, Divestments, and Sanctions Movement for freedom and justice in Palestine. Like many/most academic institutions in Israel, Haifa University is an apartheid institution. 

<a href="https://bdsmovement.net/tags/haifa-university" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://bdsmovement.net/tags/haifa-university</a>

I recognize that many of you work within this institution and hope you are also doing your part for academic freedom.

Warm wishes for a peaceful and just world - which after all is where educational neuroscience as a field points us.

&nbsp;

BDS—short for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions—supporters embrace the following three tenets as a feature of the campaign:

- Boycotting all goods that originate from the state of Israel;

- Divesting all funds (private or public) that are allocated to Israel; and

- Placing sanctions exclusively on Israel.

Mr. Omar Barghouti, a co-founder of the BDS movement, admits that the ultimate outcome of these steps is the <a href="https://twitter.com/StandWithUs/status/1267561561565958144" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dismantlement of the state of Israel</a>.

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 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.

In a class prior to Thanksgiving 2016, Lamar taught students how to argue with conservative relatives about issues such as illegal immigration, refugees, and the Dakota Access Pipeline. Lamar also mocked Christians for not supporting taking in Middle Eastern refugees and said conservatives often come to their views through fear.

<a href="http://www.english.msu.edu/people/faculty/william-penn/">William Penn</a> teaches in the Creative Writing Program at Michigan State University. Penn was recorded complaining in one of his creative writing classes about “dead white Republicans” who “raped his country.” As a student videotaped his rant, Penn antagonized students and asked, “You look like you’re frowning. Are you frowning?”.

Dr. Dorinda Carter Andrews is a <a href="https://education.msu.edu/people/carter-andrews-dorinda/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chairperson and Professor</a> at Michigan State University in the College of Education. Her research interests include racial justice and educational equity. Dr. Andrews has published articles for many media outlets and journals and has given two <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3N23MXsow8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TED Talks</a> in relation to critical race theory and racial gaps in education.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1720" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.42.13-AM.png" alt="" width="482" height="186" />

In an <a href="https://www.hourdetroit.com/education-schools/a-critical-race-theory-expert-on-how-something-benign-became-toxic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article for Hour Detroit</a>, Dr. Andrews accuses conservatives of “gaslighting” by being against critical race theory. Dr. Andrews alleges conservatives “cry CRT” any time an educator teaches something from America’s history that puts them in a “bad light,” even if it’s true. She goes on to insinuate that conservatives don’t want educators teaching black history at all.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1721" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.43.29-AM.png" alt="" width="554" height="183" />

Dr. Andrews has lectured all over the nation about critical race theory. In the video below from June 2021, she identifies as a critical race theorist:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cIOWFdt-Os

In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOrgf3wTUbo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TED Talk given in 2014</a>, Dr. Andrews discussed racial inequity in the education system. She argues that the education system was founded in white supremacy,  making it nearly impossible for students of color to get ahead. She claims that students of color and poor students are already behind the curve before they even step foot into the classroom, and it’s unfair to expect the same levels of success for them compared to white students.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1723" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-09-at-9.44.57-AM.png" alt="" width="440" height="183" />

When Dr. Andrews isn’t teaching, lecturing, or writing publications, she often takes to Twitter to discuss CRT, racial equity, and anti-white rhetoric. Some examples are below:

https://twitter.com/DrDorindaCA/status/694285220351217664

https://twitter.com/DrDorindaCA/status/1367512182443954178

Dr. Andrews is a critical race theorist who pushes anti-white rhetoric in the classroom. In her opinion, racism is so deeply embedded into our education system that students of color have no chance of getting ahead if critical race theory isn’t taught in the classroom. In her eyes, conservatives are only against critical race theory because they fear it paints them in a negative light.

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

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

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

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

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

<a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/07/12/lights-of-liberty-vigal-remarks/">In an article for CounterPunch</a>, Dr. Rickford states bluntly that America was founded on genocide and slavery.

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

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

<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&#8217;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&#8217;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.

<a href="https://humanities.ucsc.edu/academics/faculty/index.php?uid=bettinaf">Dr. Bettina Aptheker</a> is a Distinguished Professor of Feminist Studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Aptheker was raised by well-known members of the Communist party and then continued membership into her adult life, including being a leader of Leftist groups at her college as a student in the 1960s.

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.

<a href="https://cardozo.yu.edu/directory/ekow-n-yankah" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Ekow N. Yankah</a> is a Professor of Law within the <a href="https://cardozo.yu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cardozo Law School</a> at <a href="https://www.yu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yeshiva University</a> in New York City. According to his university profile, Dr. Yankah specializes in criminal law, criminal procedure, election law, and torts. He also serves as a member of the New York Democratic Lawyers Council, the Voting Rights Arm of the New York Democratic Party, and the Coordinating Arm of the DNC.
Dr. Yankah is best known for his article, “<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/11/opinion/sunday/interracial-friendship-donald-trump.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Can My Children Be Friends With White People</a>?” In the piece, the professor encourages his children to shun any close friendships with white people.
The piece first appeared in the New York Times in 2017. With the first year of President Donald Trump’s administration as the backdrop, Dr. Yankah accused the president’s supporters of ignoring and even participating in Trump’s racial bigotry.
Dr. Yankah further writes that friendship across racial lines asks black people to ignore their own safety. He states bluntly that you cannot ignore someone who voted for Trump, and states that he simply cannot trust white people.

After expressing his utter contempt for white Trump voters who hide behind “everyday decency as a shield,” Dr. Yankah declares friendships with whites “impossible”. Due to their racial privilege—or what Dr. Yankah describes as, “due to conditions of dominance”—he further writes that history has provided little reason for people of color to trust white people.
Citing instances of brutality during the civil rights era, Dr. Yankah writes that as a father, his first priority is to keep his black sons safe. Therefore, he will teach them a “profound” friendship is impossible with white people due to their “rending, violent, and often fatal betrayal” by voting for Trump.
Dr. Yankah concludes that for these reasons and more, he teaches his children to have profound doubts as to whether or not friendship with white people is possible. He would subsequently appear on Tucker Carlson&#8217;s show in defense of his remarks.

<a href="https://cardozo.yu.edu/directory/ekow-n-yankah" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Ekow N. Yankah</a> is a Professor of Law within the <a href="https://cardozo.yu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cardozo Law School</a> at <a href="https://www.yu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yeshiva University</a> in New York City. According to his university profile, Dr. Yankah specializes in criminal law, criminal procedure, election law, and torts. He also serves as a member of the New York Democratic Lawyers Council, the Voting Rights Arm of the New York Democratic Party, and the Coordinating Arm of the DNC.

Dr. Yankah is best known for his article, “<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/11/opinion/sunday/interracial-friendship-donald-trump.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Can My Children Be Friends With White People</a>?” In the piece, the professor encourages his children to shun any close friendships with white people.

The piece first appeared in the New York Times in 2017. With the first year of President Donald Trump’s administration as the backdrop, Dr. Yankah accused the president’s supporters of ignoring and even participating in Trump’s racial bigotry.

Dr. Yankah further writes that friendship across racial lines asks black people to ignore their own safety. He states bluntly that you cannot ignore someone who voted for Trump, and states that he simply cannot trust white people.

<a href="https://education.uw.edu/people/rjd">Robin DiAngelo</a> is an Affiliate Associate Professor in the College of Education at the University of Washington. She is best known for her New York Times bestselling book titled “<a href="https://www.robindiangelo.com/publications/">White Fragility</a>,” which examines DiAngelo’s belief that all white people have embraced and internalized bigotry in order to protect institutional racism in every aspect of American life.
Robin previously described her all-encompassing view on systemic racism in her article <a href="https://www.robindiangelo.com/publications/">“Nothing to Add,”</a> noting that systematic racism results in the unequal distribution of resources amongst racial groups, essentially defining racism as any and all racial disparities.
She writes, “&#8230;whiteness scholars define racism as encompassing economic, political, social, and cultural structures, actions, and beliefs that systematize and perpetuate an unequal distribution of privileges, resources, and power among white people and people of color.”
DiAngelo states that the unequal distribution of resources is what makes racism an inexorable part of the free market.
“Capitalism is so bound up with racism&#8230;Capitalism is dependent on inequality, on an underclass. If the model is profit over everything else, you’re not going to look at your policies to see what is most racially equitable.” 
During her appearance on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZfiSjTHVqA&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;ab_channel=TheTonightShowStarringJimmyFallon">Jimmy Fallon</a>, DiAngelo explained that individuals are not immune to racism, as it&#8217;s a foundational aspect of our nation. Racism is not an individual act or offense, but rather a system that disproportionately discriminates against people of color and automatically benefits whites. During an appearance on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dteOQPzc_so">CBS News</a>, she stated that white privilege is automatically bestowed upon white people whether they consider themselves racist or not. During a later interview with the <a href="https://youtu.be/neV_GlvUGn4?t=439">Family Action Network</a>, DiAneglo will go to her “last breath” believing that all white people are racist;
“I will hold to my last breath that all white people that live in a society whose foundation is white superiority internalize the message of white superiority…”
During an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45ey4jgoxeU">appearance</a> at the Seattle Public Library, she went further, declaring that all white people have a “deeply internalized” sense of white supremacy.  According to DiAngelo, white people are born and bred into racism and “internalize” their bigotry. She uses this basis to define “white fragility” is the inability of white Americans to come to terms with their inherent racism and resultant defensive reaction to being accused of harboring racist beliefs. Through this, white Americans maintain a racist system that they benefit from.
DiAngelo uses the individual as an example of the presence of racism in American society. She explains that racism is structural rather than individual, thus attributing any disparities to individual acts, such as behavior or values, is emblematic of “white fragility” and how white Americans protect racist institutions from systematic change.
DiAngelo <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/15/magazine/white-fragility-robin-diangelo.html?referringSource=articleShare">travels extensively</a> to promote her work, regularly speaking before <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrOFpaB-PQI">city governments</a> and major corporations like Levi’s. She recently faced blowback at the University of Connecticut for <a href="https://campusreform.org/?ID=15430">charging</a> $20,000 for a three and a half-hour lecture before only 44 administrators. She also received criticism from Missouri Senator Josh Hawley when it was discovered that her work is <a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/senator-hawley-requests-smithsonian-explain-controversial-talking-about-race-initiative">featured prominently</a> in diversity trainings hosted by government institutions.

<a href="https://www.uh.edu/class/ccs/people/nicholas-de-genova/">Dr. Nicholas De Genova</a> is a professor and the Chair of the Department of Comparative Cultural Studies at the University of Houston. His university biography describes him as a scholar of migration, borders, citizenship, labor, critical race, postcolonial, and ethnic studies. Dr. De Genova is an ardent advocate for abolishing national borders and has called for the death of American soldiers.
In an interview for the <a href="https://lnu.se/en/research/searchresearch/linnaeus-university-centre-for-concurrences-in-colonial-and-postcolonial-studies/">Centre for Concurrences in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies</a>, Dr. De Genova <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkF0I1Z9eGo">describes his work in postcolonial studies</a> as taking the free movement of people across borders as a “natural element of the human condition.&#8221; At one point in the interview, Dr. De Genova implies that national borders should be abolished.
&nbsp;
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-11" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Nicholas-De-Genova-If-there-were-no-borders......mp4?_=11" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Nicholas-De-Genova-If-there-were-no-borders......mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Nicholas-De-Genova-If-there-were-no-borders......mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
Continuing, Dr. De Genova states that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkF0I1Z9eGo">national borders are the most violent divisions that humanity has constructed</a>.
&nbsp;
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-12" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/De-Genova-Borders-are-the-most-violent.....mp4?_=12" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/De-Genova-Borders-are-the-most-violent.....mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/De-Genova-Borders-are-the-most-violent.....mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
Throughout his work, Dr. De Genova claims that borders are used to elicit racial strife. In a piece written for the Journal of the American Anthropological Association, Dr. De Genova alleges there are <a href="http://www.americananthropologist.org/2020/03/23/everything-is-permitted-trump-white-supremacy-fascism/">parallels between Trump’s policies on the US-Mexico border and a “brutal and bellicose racial nativism” of conservative support for restrictive immigration policies. </a>
In the same paper, Dr. De Genova describes conservatives as fascists who are fomenting a racial civil war against people of color and illegal immigrants through the enforcement of immigration laws. He states:
“We must interrogate the synergies between, on the one hand, the variety of ways that Trump’s supporters are induced to endorse or emulate this brutal and bellicose racial nativism and, on the other hand, the outright cruelty and sadism, of the Trump administration’s border-enforcement tactics and the racist violence that they have institutionalized.” 
Dr. De Genova describes the United States as a nation that embodies white nationalism. Quoting author Wahneema Lubiano, Dr. De Genova states that <a href="http://www.americananthropologist.org/2020/03/23/everything-is-permitted-trump-white-supremacy-fascism/">American history has always “been some form” of white nationalism</a>.

&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/2003/03/31/letters-editorprofessor-qualifies-quotation-article-and-addresses-criticism/">In an open letter published by The Columbia Spectator,</a> Dr. De Genova described the United States as an emblem of white nationalism. Alleging the formation of the United States constituted racism and imperialism, Dr. De Genova called on Americans to “repudiate all forms of patriotism.”
The letter is a response to the public outcry to his teach-in at Columbia University, where Dr. De Genova called for “<a href="https://nypost.com/2003/03/31/prof-pilloried-columbia-community-condemns-words-of-hate/">a million Mogadishus” to be inflicted against American troops in Iraq</a>.

The professor is referring to the Black Hawk Down incident that occurred in Somalia during the <a href="https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/ambush/etc/cron.html">Battle of Mogadishu in 1993</a>,  where 18 American soldiers were killed and over 70 were wounded. Pictures later emerged of <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/legacy-black-hawk-down-180971000/">the bodies of the servicemen being dragged through the streets</a> by Somalian militia groups. The demoralizing aftermath is considered to have contributed to the decision of then-President Bill Clinton to withdraw America’s humanitarian mission from the country.
In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Dr. De Genova serves as the chair of the Special Committee on Race and Social Justice at the University of Houston. <a href="https://uh.edu/class/about-us/race-and-social-justice-committee/">According to the university’s official website</a>, the committee organizes events to educate students about topics such as the “racial formation of modern capitalism, mass incarceration, racism in academia, and the “racial underpinnings for contemporary immigration policy and border policing.” according to the University’s official site.
The Professor Watchlist Team has reached Dr. De Genova for comment but has not received a reply by the time of publication.

In an interview for the <a href="https://lnu.se/en/research/searchresearch/linnaeus-university-centre-for-concurrences-in-colonial-and-postcolonial-studies/">Centre for Concurrences in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies</a>, Dr. De Genova <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkF0I1Z9eGo">describes his work in postcolonial studies</a> as taking the free movement of people across borders as a “natural element of the human condition." At one point in the interview, Dr. De Genova implies that national borders should be abolished.

&nbsp;

Continuing, Dr. De Genova states that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkF0I1Z9eGo">national borders are the most violent divisions that humanity has constructed</a>.

&nbsp;

Throughout his work, Dr. De Genova claims that borders are used to elicit racial strife. In a piece written for the Journal of the American Anthropological Association, Dr. De Genova alleges there are <a href="http://www.americananthropologist.org/2020/03/23/everything-is-permitted-trump-white-supremacy-fascism/">parallels between Trump’s policies on the US-Mexico border and a “brutal and bellicose racial nativism” of conservative support for restrictive immigration policies. </a>

In the same paper, Dr. De Genova describes conservatives as fascists who are fomenting a racial civil war against people of color and illegal immigrants through the enforcement of immigration laws. He states:

“We must interrogate the synergies between, on the one hand, the variety of ways that Trump’s supporters are induced to endorse or emulate this brutal and bellicose racial nativism and, on the other hand, the outright cruelty and sadism, of the Trump administration’s border-enforcement tactics and the racist violence that they have institutionalized.” 

Dr. De Genova describes the United States as a nation that embodies white nationalism. Quoting author Wahneema Lubiano, Dr. De Genova states that <a href="http://www.americananthropologist.org/2020/03/23/everything-is-permitted-trump-white-supremacy-fascism/">American history has always “been some form” of white nationalism</a>.

&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/2003/03/31/letters-editorprofessor-qualifies-quotation-article-and-addresses-criticism/">In an open letter published by The Columbia Spectator,</a> Dr. De Genova described the United States as an emblem of white nationalism. Alleging the formation of the United States constituted racism and imperialism, Dr. De Genova called on Americans to “repudiate all forms of patriotism.”

The letter is a response to the public outcry to his teach-in at Columbia University, where Dr. De Genova called for “<a href="https://nypost.com/2003/03/31/prof-pilloried-columbia-community-condemns-words-of-hate/">a million Mogadishus” to be inflicted against American troops in Iraq</a>.

The professor is referring to the Black Hawk Down incident that occurred in Somalia during the <a href="https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/ambush/etc/cron.html">Battle of Mogadishu in 1993</a>,  where 18 American soldiers were killed and over 70 were wounded. Pictures later emerged of <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/legacy-black-hawk-down-180971000/">the bodies of the servicemen being dragged through the streets</a> by Somalian militia groups. The demoralizing aftermath is considered to have contributed to the decision of then-President Bill Clinton to withdraw America’s humanitarian mission from the country.

In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Dr. De Genova serves as the chair of the Special Committee on Race and Social Justice at the University of Houston. <a href="https://uh.edu/class/about-us/race-and-social-justice-committee/">According to the university’s official website</a>, the committee organizes events to educate students about topics such as the “racial formation of modern capitalism, mass incarceration, racism in academia, and the “racial underpinnings for contemporary immigration policy and border policing.” according to the University’s official site.

The Professor Watchlist Team has reached Dr. De Genova for comment but has not received a reply by the time of publication.

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.”

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.

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:

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.

<a href="https://www.marymountcalifornia.edu/people/duncan-earle-ph-d/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Duncan Earle</a> is a Cultural Anthropologist and Professor of Global Studies at Marymount California University in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. He is further described in a university interview as a trained “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq0p6l23aNo&amp;ab_channel=MarymountCaliforniaUniversity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mayan Shaman.</a>”

During lectures, Dr. Earle advocates further national lockdowns, praises Chinese-style authoritarianism, and even blames the COVID-19 pandemic on environmental damage. The class in question—slides of which were provided exclusively to the Professor Watchlist team by an anonymous source—is Dr. Earle's Cross-Cultural Leadership Seminar which is currently being taught in the Spring 2022 semester.

The introductory PowerPoint berates Americans for refusing to follow the “science” behind COVID-19 and greatly inflates the danger of the pandemic. In the second slide—titled “Nothing is Normal Now”—Dr. Earle erroneously claims that the Covid death count is worse than reported and predicts, with no evidence, that the next variant maybe “as deadly as Ebola”.

*Emphasis has been added to slides by the author of the profile.*

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1948 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screen-Shot-2022-02-08-at-4.32.42-PM-1024x583.png" alt="" width="580" height="330" />

&nbsp;

In further slides, he inflates the COVID-19 death total to “1-5%” of those infected.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1950" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screen-Shot-2022-02-08-at-5.13.46-PM.png" alt="" width="600" height="362" />

&nbsp;

According to John Hopkins, the United States <a href="https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has a mortality rate of 1.2% of those infected</a>. According to the CDC,<a href="https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#demographics" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 93% of these deaths were individuals 50 and older</a>; the fatality rate is .8% for people aged 18 to 29 and virtually 0% for those under 18.

Furthermore, the <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/health_policy/covid19-comorbidity-expanded-12092020-508.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CDC has noted that only 6% of deaths list COVID as the only cause.</a> Over 75% of COVID deaths occur in patients <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/cdc-director-says-75-of-covid-19-deaths-had-four-or-more-comorbidities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">with 4 or more comorbidities</a>.

Dr. Earle nonetheless attempts to justify lockdowns, writing, “you cannot defeat the virus without closing the economy.”

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1951 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screen-Shot-2022-02-08-at-5.16.23-PM-1024x576.png" alt="" width="580" height="326" />

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1952 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screen-Shot-2022-02-08-at-5.19.12-PM-1024x576.png" alt="" width="580" height="326" />

&nbsp;

Dr. Earle offers praise to China’s authoritarian lockdowns and further condemns Sweden for allowing its economy to remain open during the pandemic.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1953 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screen-Shot-2022-02-08-at-5.24.14-PM-1024x632.png" alt="" width="580" height="358" />

&nbsp;

A meta-analysis by Johns Hopkins found that <a href="https://sites.krieger.jhu.edu/iae/files/2022/01/A-Literature-Review-and-Meta-Analysis-of-the-Effects-of-Lockdowns-on-COVID-19-Mortality.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lockdowns may have only reduced COVID deaths by .2%</a> while causing spikes in <a href="https://fee.org/articles/domestic-violence-more-than-doubled-under-lockdowns-new-study-finds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">domestic abuse, drug overdoses,</a> and <a href="https://fee.org/articles/youth-depression-suicide-increasing-during-pandemic-response/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youth suicides</a>.

In other slides, Dr. Earle depicts Americans as “selfish” and “unpatriotic” individuals who adhere to “conspiracy theories” rather than COVID-19 guidelines.  He further lauds Dr. Fauci and condemns Americans who believe in “conspiracy theories” about him.

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1955 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screen-Shot-2022-02-08-at-5.30.45-PM-1024x576.png" alt="" width="580" height="326" />

&nbsp;

Dr. Earle is referring to allegations that <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rand-paul-wuhan-documents-fauci-lied" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Fauci funded research at the Wuhan-based lab where COVID is suspected to have originated</a>. Documents obtained by <a href="https://theintercept.com/2021/09/06/new-details-emerge-about-coronavirus-research-at-chinese-lab/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Intercept</a> appear to contradict Dr. Fauci’s sworn testimony that the lab was never funded by the NIH under his direction.

Further slides blame the release of COVID on planetary abuse and that it is amplified by systemic racism.

&nbsp;

<img class="size-large wp-image-1959 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screen-Shot-2022-02-08-at-5.42.31-PM-1024x588.png" alt="" width="580" height="333" />

&nbsp;

After stating that America must achieve an 80% immunization rate to stop the pandemic—while everyone wears masks the entire duration—Dr. Earle claims natural immunity is inferior to the immunity provided via vaccination.

&nbsp;

<img class="size-large wp-image-1961 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screen-Shot-2022-02-08-at-5.45.41-PM-1024x606.png" alt="" width="580" height="343" />

<img class="size-large wp-image-1962 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screen-Shot-2022-02-08-at-5.45.41-PM-1-1024x606.png" alt="" width="580" height="343" />

&nbsp;

Despite his claims to the contrary, an Israeli study determined those with <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/312637">natural immunity were 27 times less likely to develop symptomatic COVID and 8 times less likely to be hospitalized with COVID than those who were vaccinated.</a>

During a follow-up exercise, Dr. Earle writes that following the pandemic, there is “no going back to normal.” Instead of going back to pre-Covid conditions, he advocates using the pandemic to combat white supremacy, climate change, and rampant consumerism.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1963 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screen-Shot-2022-02-08-at-5.50.10-PM-1024x547.png" alt="" width="580" height="310" />

&nbsp;

Additional assignments are just as partisan as Dr. Earle’s lectures. A portion of one praises the Black Lives Matter movement and condemns conservative states that pass voter integrity laws as “Jim Crow 2.0.”

Prior to publication, the Professor Watchlist team reached out to Dr. Earle for comment. In his response, Dr. Earle asked for our professional qualifications, claimed it would be illegal to share information about his classroom, and accused the profile's author of being a “thief.” He declined to answer any of our questions, other than to claim that his materials are “highly documented” by “people who are experts in their fields.” His full response is included below.

“In a world where people are professional, the first thing they do is present themselves, their qualifications, and their interest in the enquiry [sic], and second explain where they have acquired proprietary information (which belongs to a private institution and is not free to the public, and so illegal to be shared), before attempting to interrogate me or anyone else on our expertise.  For the record, all my material, now dated, was highly documented by people who are expert in their fields, and if you were, you would not have to ask me.  So what are your qualifications, other than thief?”

Mosher <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2020/09/18/marshall-u-prof-jennifer-mosher-says-she-hopes-trump-supporters-die-before-election/">was recently suspended by Marshall University</a> after she expressed her hope that all Trump supporters would die from COVID before the election during a lecture.

“Yesterday he held one inside. Nobody wore a mask. And I’ve become the type of person where I hope they all get it and die. You can’t argue with them, you can’t talk sense into them. I said to somebody yesterday, I hope they all die before the election. That’s the only saving hope I have right now. Definitely bootlikers.”

As <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/08/14/duke-university-economist-calls-for-12-trillion-in-slavery-reparations/">Breitbart</a> reports, Darity and his wife, Kirsten Mullen, co-authored a paper for the <a href="https://rooseveltinstitute.org/">Roosevelt Institute</a> in which they advocated for $12 Trillion in reparations for slavery. This amounts to roughly $800,000 to be paid per each African-American household in the country.
In the <a href="https://rooseveltinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/RI_Report_ResurrectingthePromiseof40Acres_202005.pdf">document</a>, titled, “Resurrecting the Promise of 40 acres: The Imperative of Reparations for Black Americans,” Darity describes the federal government as a “culpable party” that should pay reparations to black Americans for the nation’s history of slavery.

Darity <a href="https://rooseveltinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/RI_Report_ResurrectingthePromiseof40Acres_202005.pdf">states</a> that reparations are necessary so that white Americans do not continue to benefit from the profits of enslaved black Americans. In the same report, Darity <a href="https://rooseveltinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/RI_Report_ResurrectingthePromiseof40Acres_202005.pdf">alleges</a> that it is just as necessary for America to pay black Americans reparations as it was for Germany to pay reparations to survivors of the Holocaust.

In the conclusion of “Resurrecting the Promise,” Darity <a href="https://rooseveltinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/RI_Report_ResurrectingthePromiseof40Acres_202005.pdf">describes</a> reparations as the monetary centerpiece of all other forms of reparations and is required to eliminate the wealth gap, which is the “most glaring economic indicator” of racial injustice.
