<a href="https://www.csuchico.edu/phha/people/faculty/briggs.shtml">Lindsay Briggs</a> is a tenured faculty member in the Department of Public Health at California State University &#8211; Chico. Briggs publicly identifies as an anarchist on her <a href="https://twitter.com/ChicoSexProf?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Twitter</a> profile and <a href="https://www.csuchico.edu/lgbtq/board/briggs.shtml">serves</a> as the Vice-Chair of the LGBTQ Faculty and Staff Association.

Already in opposition to the University Police Department, Briggs recently <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=15700">doxed a university police officer</a> over an alleged online feud by posting what appears to be the officer’s name, picture, number, and home address. She justified her actions by claiming (without evidence) that the officer was engaged in online harassment and encouraged her followers to share his address &#8220;widely with your networks.&#8221; Briggs stated that it was “poor taste” for the officer to pose with a pro-police, &#8220;Thin Blue Line&#8221; poster, and claimed that the university police were white supremacists who routinely harass activists like herself. In the same post, Briggs included the image of an 8 year-old girl (whose face has been blurred for her privacy) who had made the poster for the officer.

&nbsp;
In the past, Briggs has attracted attention for her vitriol towards students. She <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-publicly-slurs-student-shitty-questioning-alternative-gender-identities/">once lashed out at the author </a>of an op-ed in Chico&#8217;s student newspaper that <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170513155159/https://theorion.com/65496/opinion/debunking-gsec-myths/">attempted to counter to statistics</a> offered by the university’s Gender and Sexuality Equity Center (of which Briggs serves on the advisory board) on issues such as the prevalence of sexual assault on campus. Rather than addressing the points raised by the article, Briggs attacked the student who authored the piece, Roberto Fonseca, as “repugnant” and accused him of committing violence through hate speech. In a Facebook post, she continued to personally attack Fonseca and encouraged others to call the paper&#8217;s editor to protest to the piece.

Briggs has also <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=14103">referred to the conservative students</a> on Chico’s campus as “white supremacists” <a href="https://editor.des05.com/vo/?FileID=87f607ed-172e-479a-a992-ee3d0c9c9e64&amp;m=0def7e64-45d4-484b-bea3-4f89ce14357e&amp;MailID=38505689&amp;listid=109281&amp;RecipientID=18697486834&amp;fbclid=IwAR3HaLwB2jFo5dvD9TfWguivmQ3mmR58gJfp5K1gun4p6aiVMGbR1r68LHA">in a signed letter</a> from the local chapter of the California Faculty Association, of which she serves as a <a href="https://www.calfac.org/post/department-representatives-spring-2019">department representative. </a>

<a href="https://www.csuchico.edu/hist/faculty/biographies/schwaller.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Shawn Schwaller</a> is a History Professor at <a href="https://www.csuchico.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California State-Chico</a>. His notable courses cover topics including Chicanx and Latinx studies, US History, and American Indian studies. Dr. Schwaller has further served on the Ethnic Studies committee at the university and is thus tasked with determining which courses will fulfill California's ethnic studies requirement.

Passed in July of 2020, California’s state university systems now <a href="https://www.calstate.edu/csu-system/board-of-trustees/past-meetings/2020/Documents/July-21-22-ED-POL-Binder.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">require all enrollees to complete one ethnic studies or social justice course in order to graduate</a>. The requirement will affect all <a href="https://www.calstate.edu/csu-system/about-the-csu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">23 campuses and nearly 500,000 students</a> in the California state university system.

<a href="https://amchainitiative.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/90-Groups-to-Gov-Newsom-8.13.20.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">90 Jewish and Pro-Israel groups </a>publically opposed the new academic requirements in a letter to Newsom. The letter—addressed to Governor Newsom, accuses the legislation of inciting “hatred and harm against pro-Israel students,” as anti-zionism and BDS is an “intrinsic part of Critical Ethnic Studies.”

A <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/california-ethnic-studies-programs-merchants-of-revolution" target="_blank" rel="noopener">similar bill was passed for California high schools</a> in March of 2021. Students will now be prevented from graduating unless they take courses that include “land acknowledgments” and lessons on <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/california-ethnic-studies-programs-merchants-of-revolution" target="_blank" rel="noopener">”decolonizing” students from capitalism, the patriarchy, and settler colonialism.</a>

Dr. Schwaller praises California's mandate in an interview with a progressive radio station based in Redding, CA. At the 19-minute mark, he asserts the necessity <a href="http://apps.kcnr1460.com/media//podcasts//_2021-06-26.mp3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">for students to learn how our nation was founded on genocide and the constitution enshrined slavery</a>.

Further, in the same interview, Dr. Schwaller additionally details his use of the book, “<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52048467-how-the-south-won-the-civil-war" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How the South Won the Civil War</a>,” in-class lectures. The author—Heather Cox Richardson—argues that modern conservative icons like Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan embody the “ideology of the confederacy.”

Dr. Schwaller’s commentary is featured across various platforms—most notably as a contributor for the Northern California-based ANewsCafe—<a href="https://anewscafe.com/author/shawn-schwaller/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> to further disparage conservatives as bigoted, violent, and homophobic</a>.

Much of his ire is directed towards political activists and Christians based in Northern California. Beginning in 2021, Dr. Schwaller began work on what will eventually be a 4-part series on the State of Jefferson. In what would become the 51st state, the State of Jefferson is campaigning—primarily supported by conservatives—<a href="https://soj51.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to create a new state from primarily rural states in Northern California and Southern Oregon</a>.

Dr. Schwaller devotes much of his 3-part series to defame campaign operatives and conservatives at-large. In Part 1, he alleges that <a href="https://anewscafe.com/2021/04/14/redding/in-the-closet-of-jefferson-state-part-one-economic-social-realities-in-californias-pro-trump-successionist-far-north/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trump supporters covet a “white, patriarchal” America</a>.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1816" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-18T151203.289-e1637273560695-1024x493.png" alt="" width="500" height="241" />

In Part 2, he cites the tragic murder of two gay men in Redding by a pair of white supremacists in order to implicate that <a href="https://anewscafe.com/2021/04/28/redding/in-the-closet-of-jefferson-state-part-2-homophobic-and-white-christian-supremacist-hate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conservatives and Christians are animated violent and homophobic</a> malice. Continuing, Dr. Schwaller demonizes guns as a “key component” of conservatives’ “toxic masculinity.” He again references the prior incident as proof that gun owners pose a direct threat to the gay community.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1815" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-18T145615.587-e1637272612809-1024x442.png" alt="" width="500" height="216" />

Dr. Schwaller continues to level these pejoratives at Christians, particularly at individuals associated with the Bethel Church in Redding, California. In multiple instances, he even designates Christians as deserving of the violence inflicted upon them by the anarchist group ANTIFA.

As<a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/dhs-leaked-email-confirms-that-antifa-is-an-organized-group" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> reported</a> by The Post-Millennial, leaked emails from the Department of Homeland Security show that law enforcement agencies identify ANTIFA as an organization that engages in “organized” rather than sporadic violence. Many<a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/dhs-leaked-email-confirms-that-antifa-is-an-organized-group" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> members arm themselves with knives and firearms</a> to violently confront conservatives at events. In the Summer of 2021, <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/dhs-leaked-email-confirms-that-antifa-is-an-organized-group">members of ANTIFA brazenly attacked Senator Rand Paul and his wife</a> as they walked through Washington D.C.

In August of 2021, members of a Portland-based ANTIFA group forcefully shut down a Christian prayer rally, assaulting and macing attendees and their children in the process.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

In his article, Dr. Schwaller not only downplays the violence but seeks to <a href="https://anewscafe.com/2021/08/12/redding/sean-feuchts-new-brand-of-bethel-church-inspired-radical-militant-christianity-on-display-in-portland/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">justify the attack, describing it as a response to “intensely violent rhetoric</a>” 0f a "white Christian supremacist" in attendance.

Dr. Schwaller again defends ANTIFA members present at the “Let Us Pray,” event in Washington D.C, <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/dhs-leaked-email-confirms-that-antifa-is-an-organized-group" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describing their actions as “protesting” the “far-right, and white and Christian supremacist groups</a>.”

At the same rally, which attracted thousands of attendees and hosted numerous pastors, he <a href="https://anewscafe.com/2021/09/20/redding/sean-feucht-far-right-christians-descend-on-washington-d-c-for-september-11th-let-us-worship-event/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mocked one speaker's suggestion that North Korea persecuted Christians</a>. Responding to a statement by Pastor Che Ahn—a California- based pastor who was a featured speaker—Dr. Schwaller declares that it is a “myth” that North Korea persecutes members of the Christian Church.

Despite Dr. Schwaller’s denial, North Korea's persecution<a href="https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2020/december/north-korea-persecution-christians-human-rights-report-kfi.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> of Christians is well documented</a>.

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

In the same lecture, Dr. Peters discusses states’ attempts to pass legislation he views as “anti-trans”. He calls for people in the medical community to speak out against these bills and alleges that if some of these bills are passed, transgender people will die.
The bills that Dr. Peters refers to focus on banning biological boys from girls&#8217; sports and restricting or banning transition surgeries and hormones for minors.

In a June 2021 Twitter thread titled “Professionalism is a Trojan Horse”, Dr. Peters <a href="https://twitter.com/queersurgeon/status/1401660683754741765" target="_blank" rel="noopener">says that professionalism has long been used as a “trojan horse” to disguise homophobia, transphobia, racism, and sexism</a>. In an interview for OHSU’s oral histories, he goes on to say that professionalism is defined by those in power who are majority white, cisgender, heterosexual men.

In another part of the OHSU interview, Dr. Peters <a href="https://scholararchive.ohsu.edu/concern/etds/6w924c46s?locale=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states that queer people in the medical community aren’t always safe to speak up when they want to and have been oppressed by the “medical patriarchy”.</a> He goes on to say that he’s had to accept and acknowledge how much privilege he holds as a white person who is cisgender passing.
In an op-ed for MedPage, Dr. Peters <a href="https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/second-opinions/93186" target="_blank" rel="noopener">goes on to say that transgender women and queer people of color are some of the most oppressed members of our society.</a> He believes that the medical community has historically oppressed queer people and that being queer in medicine and surgery is an act of resistance.

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

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

&nbsp;

In the same lecture, Dr. Peters discusses states’ attempts to pass legislation he views as “anti-trans”. He calls for people in the medical community to speak out against these bills and alleges that if some of these bills are passed, transgender people will die.

The bills that Dr. Peters refers to focus on banning biological boys from girls' sports and restricting or banning transition surgeries and hormones for minors.

In a June 2021 Twitter thread titled “Professionalism is a Trojan Horse”, Dr. Peters <a href="https://twitter.com/queersurgeon/status/1401660683754741765" target="_blank" rel="noopener">says that professionalism has long been used as a “trojan horse” to disguise homophobia, transphobia, racism, and sexism</a>. In an interview for OHSU’s oral histories, he goes on to say that professionalism is defined by those in power who are majority white, cisgender, heterosexual men.

Cornell University

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

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

<a href="https://history.cornell.edu/russell-rickford">Dr. Russell Rickford</a> is an associate professor of history at Cornell University. According to his university biography, Dr. Rickford “specializes in African-American political culture after World War II, the Black Radical Tradition, and transnational social movements.” In his various writings and teaching materials, Dr. Rickford frequently condemns the nation of Israel and alleges that the United States was founded on slavery and white supremacy.

In a book titled <a href="https://books.google.co.il/books?id=SEAeCwAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA276&amp;lpg=PA276&amp;dq=Russell+Rickford+israel&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=vIzqNlUKjC&amp;sig=KRxT1-8CHqm0mHE_Fr8k_PI9bFQ&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiqg_3_t-DTAhUDIVAKHUUCDtMQ6AEIRDAG#v=onepage&amp;q=Russell%20Rickford%20israel&amp;f=false">Beyond Boundaries: The Manning Marable Reader</a>, Dr. Rickford alleges that Israel bears ultimate responsibility for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. On page 276, Dr. Rickford states: “The US media and opinion makers repeatedly went out of their way to twist the facts and distort the political realities of the Middle East by insisting that Osama bin Laden’s group’s murderous assaults had nothing to do with Israel’s policies towards the Palestinians. Nobody else in the world, with the possible exception of the Israeli’s, really believes that.”

<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"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1403" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Screen-Shot-2021-05-28-at-12.41.11-PM.png" alt="" width="500" height="467" /></a>

In a paper for The New Labor Forum (a labor journal published by the <a href="https://slu.cuny.edu/about/murphy-institute/">Murphy Institute</a> at the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies) titled <a href="https://newlaborforum.cuny.edu/2015/12/28/black-lives-matter-practice-of-mass-struggle/">Black Lives Matter: Toward a Modern Practice of Mass Struggle</a>, Dr. Rickford praises the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as having “reinvigorated confrontation politics.” He describes the tactics of BLM as a commitment to “militancy,” referencing their history of “occupying highways, intersections, sporting events, retail stores, malls, campaign events, police stations, and municipal buildings.”

According to a <a href="https://acleddata.com/2020/09/03/demonstrations-political-violence-in-america-new-data-for-summer-2020/">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to  95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/">The Federalist</a> found that “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion.">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

Dr. Rickford believes the motivations behind BLM riots are “police aggression and racist violence” instigated by law enforcement.  Dr. Rickford claims that white supremacy serves as the framework of our criminal justice system—causing law enforcement agencies to view BLM protestors as “enemy combatants.”

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

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

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

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

<a href="https://www.sia.psu.edu/faculty/hatemi">Dr. Peter Hatemi</a>, a Professor of Political Science at Penn State, stated that conservatives express more issues of psychoticism, which he defined as " uncooperative, hostile, troublesome, and socially withdrawn, but lack feelings of inferiority and have an absence of anxiety. At the extremes, those scoring high on P are manipulative, tough-minded, and practical." He also claims that the counterparts of these conservatives [the left] is more likely to be altruistic, well socialized, empathic, and conventional. However upon review he accidentally switched data points around and should have labeled liberals with the adjectives he labeled conservatives with. Presented with this information, he claimed that it did not change his conclusion.

<a href="https://sociology.la.psu.edu/people/smr8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Sam Richards</a> is a Teaching Professor of Sociology at <a href="https://www.psu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pennsylvania State University</a>. He is known for his racially laden diatribes delivered to students during his lectures.

Dr. Richards is most prominently known for teaching SOC119, or “Race and Ethnic Relations”. The class is <a href="https://www.soc119.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allegedly the “largest race and cultural relations course in the United States,</a>” according to the official site. Dr. Richards also streams his lectures live, with over 57,000 subscribers on Youtube as of August 2021.

The course addresses relevant racial, political, and cross-cultural issues amongst young adults. Classes consist of Dr. Richards facilitating discussions for students to confront and examine viewpoints contrary to their own.

However, lectures typically devolve into racial and politically biased tirades. Dr. Richards frequently accuses white students of harboring racial animus, alleges that white supremacy is embedded in American culture, and accuses American Christians of seeking to overthrow the government.

In one lecture, titled “White Discomfort,” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKTUG02kTTg&amp;ab_channel=SOC119" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Richards selects a black and white student and asks them to stand in front of the class</a>. Claiming that racial equality does not exist, he proceeds to position both students abreast of one another before yelling, “They are not f****** equal!”

In another class, titled “Christian Sharia,” Dr. Richards spends over an hour <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmzDnulSV_g&amp;ab_channel=SOC119" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lecturing on the threat he perceives Christians pose to the country.</a> At one point, when displaying a picture of a Muslim man holding a sign that reads, “Behead Those That Insult Islam,” he proceeds to claim, “You can’t find that anywhere in the Koran….I know that you can find it in the Bible.”

Later in the same lecture, he accuses Vice President Mike Pence of being a religious extremist on par with that of the Taliban.

In a lecture delivered in <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=17832" target="_blank" rel="noopener">March of 2021 and captured by Campus Reform</a>, Dr. Richards selects a white student, Brian, from the audience for a class exercise. He proceeds to ask Brian who he oppressed that day. After the student replied that he hadn’t oppressed anybody, Dr. Richards retorts that since Brian has “left his house” and “is breathing”, that, as a white person, he must have oppressed somebody that day. The full interaction may be viewed below.

As of August 2021, Dr. Richards has disabled comments or unlisted many of his videos following publicity of his lectures.

The main site for SOC119 mandates that regardless of vaccination status, students will have to wear masks while attending class.

Fuller</a> is an Assistant Professor of Education at <a href="https://www.psu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pennsylvania State University</a>.

The Tweet was a response to school-choice activist <a href="https://twitter.com/DeAngelisCorey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Corey A. DeAngelis's</a> opposition to mandatory masking in schools. In his reply, Dr. Fuller asked why parents have the right to endanger children by refusing to enforce mandatory masking. He then appeared to suggest that people with masks should drive while under the influence and run over “pro-covid” parents who oppose mask restrictions, as it is their freedom to do so.

Her areas of interest include race and ethnicity in literature and film as well as indigenous and other ethnic literature. Alvarez teaches freshman-level courses, including English Composition, where she requires all students to read a publication by Professor Watchlist identified <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/ibramxkendi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ibram X. Kendi</a> titled, “When Free Speech Becomes Unfree Speech.”
<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1762" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-1.16.41-PM.png" alt="" width="456" height="211" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-1.16.41-PM.png 456w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-1.16.41-PM-300x139.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px" />
When Alvarez isn’t teaching first-year composition courses, she is <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/07/classroom-censorship-comes-to-the-university-of-oklahoma/">leading workshops</a> for fellow teachers and professors on “anti-racist rhetoric &amp; pedagogies.” Over the summer of 2021, Alvarez led a classroom censorship workshop discussing how to “set an anti-racist tone” in the classroom and ultimately silence certain students. During the workshop, she discussed how particular students are emboldened to be overly racist in the classroom, both in-person and through their writing. She said that while some teachers may be afraid to tell students they can’t say something in class, teachers absolutely have the right to tell students to be quiet and stop talking.

&nbsp;
Alvarez goes on to claim that the Supreme Court ruled that hate speech is not protected by the U.S. Constitution. She states, “the Supreme Court has actually upheld that hate speech, derogatory speech, any of the -isms do not apply in the classroom because they do not foster a productive learning environment.”
According to <a href="https://www.freedomforuminstitute.org/about/faq/what-rights-to-freedom-of-expression-do-students-have/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Freedom Forum Institute</a>, The Supreme Court ruled in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969) that students “do not shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech and expression at the schoolhouse gate.”
Later in the lecture, Alvarez discusses a concept called “white institutional defensiveness,” which she describes as conditions that force non-white students to conform and assimilate to whiteness or else risk consequences. Alvarez asserts that not allowing non-white students to write in ABE style (Adult Basic Education) is racist and perpetuating white supremacy.
According to the Division of Adult and Career Education, ABE style is meant for native English-speakers with limited literacy, below a 9th grade level. The video of the entire workshop can be viewed <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byxl61VDYp8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.

<a href="https://www.law.ou.edu/directory/steven-j-cleveland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Steven J Cleveland</a> is the Alfred P. Murrah Professor of Law and Thomas P. Hester Presidential Professor at the<a href="https://law.ou.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> College of Law at the University of Oklahoma (OU</a>).

During the 2022 Spring Semester, the University of Oklahoma implemented strict mandates on students and faculty to limit the spread of COVID-19. Dr. Cleveland is currently enforcing these policies in his classroom to such an extreme extent that students are threatened with being removed from class and reported to the Dean of the school for not wearing a mask.

Upon returning for the Spring 2022 semester, students were informed by <a href="https://www.normantranscript.com/news/ou-requiring-masks-for-first-two-weeks-of-classes/article_704a7026-723a-11ec-aa7b-139ccc6f40da.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the university’s administration they will be forced to wear face masks</a> in classroom settings until February 1 when masks will then become<a href="https://www.ou.edu/together/campus-protocols/spring-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> strongly recommended.</a>

This mandate is in direct contradiction with Oklahoma state law. In May of 2021, Governor Kevin Stitt <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/05/29/oklahoma-gov-kevin-stitt-bars-agencies-mask-vaccination-mandates/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned any state agency or building–including public universities–from requiring either a mask or vaccination status for entry</a>.

Nevertheless, professors at OU are still enforcing mask mandates and threatening to penalize students who do not comply with the restrictions. In communications reviewed by the Professor Watchlist team, professors are removing maskless students from class and threatening their grades due to the forced absences. Others refuse to even meet with students who are unvaccinated and will report unmasked students to their respective Dean.

One student, Alyssa Amundsen, vowed to defy the university mandates. She emailed each of her professors in the law school explaining that she would not wear a mask in class under any circumstance. While some professors were accommodating, many were not, and refused to allow her to attend in person.

Dr Cleveland was the most resistant to grant any exemptions. Amundsen was barred from attending class despite obtaining a medical exemption from wearing a mask last year from her doctor.

Amundsen emailed Dr. Cleveland to ask if she could attend class without a mask. Dr. Cleveland immediately refused her request and threatened to report her to the Dean of the Law School if she made a maskless appearance.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1939" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IMG_9808-1-680x1024.png" alt="" width="450" height="678" />

&nbsp;

Amundsen then offered to take the class remotely via ZOOM since the course is already recorded for students who are absent due to COVID. Despite this, Dr. Cleveland again refused, stating that “taking a stand for her beliefs has consequences.”

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1942" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IMG_9810-2-707x1024.png" alt="" width="450" height="652" />

&nbsp;

n a follow-up conversation with two Deans of the law school—Dr. Steven Gensler and Dr. Kathleene Guzman—Amundsen was still adamant to reach a compromise. Both told her there is no recourse she and can only attend in-person classes while wearing a mask per university rules. She was eventually forced to drop the class or risk having her grade reduced due to her absences.

While an injunction has been placed on Governor Stitt’s executive order, the Judge <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/oklahoma-school-mask-mandate-ban-blocked-exemptions-79769836" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruled that schools must include an “opt-out.” So far, OU has provided no such opt-out</a> for students and staff.

The Professor Watchlist team has reached out to Dr. Cleveland but has not received a reply by the time of publication.

&nbsp;
UPDATE
Following publication, the Professor Watchlist team has received the following statement from Mackenzie Scheer, Director of Media Relations at the University of Oklahoma, in regards to our inquiry.

"Since the onset of the pandemic, OU has sought to implement protocols that will protect our community, while also allowing for our in-person experience to continue. Given the transmission rate of Omicron and supply chain issues around testing, OU instituted a temporary addendum to its existing masking policy, requiring masking in all classrooms through Jan. 31. Beginning Feb. 1, the university reverted to its Fall 2021 masking guidance that expects masking in the classroom and requires masking for a two-week quarantine period when a confirmed positive COVID-19 case in the class is identified. While the university does not grant exemptions, it does evaluate requests for accommodations in certain cases. Students in need of accommodations due to health or religious reasons were instructed by law school administrators to contact the <a href="mailto:OU%20Accessibility%20and%20Disability%20Resource%20Center" target="_blank" rel="noopener">OU Accessibility and Disability Resource Center</a> at <a href="mailto:adrc@ou.edu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">adrc@ou.edu</a> or (405) 325-3852. All accommodation decisions are made on a case-by-case basis after considering each individual’s circumstance and in accordance with all applicable laws. Once a request has been approved, instructors are responsible for providing a student’s reasonable accommodation."

O’Mara was briefly a candidate in the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210309010539/https://www.liamomara.org/">2022</a> midterm election.  Upon the release of a <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/500960730/Letter-From-Liam-O-Mara-s-Staffers">letter</a> of condemnation signed by current and former campaign staff, O’Mara <a href="https://twitter.com/LiamOMaraIV/status/1375188858598400001?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1375188858598400001%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thepanthernewspaper.org%2Fpolitics%2Fchapman-professor-quits-congressional-race-following-kkk-tweet-home-invasions">announced</a> that he would no longer seek higher office.
O’Mara describes himself as a scholar on the fascist movement. In a lecture hosted on his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXGTTNnAaffGVo5TZMXhd8g/featured">Youtube</a> page titled <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojR5EVhar0Y&amp;ab_channel=LiamO%27MaraLiamO%27Mara">Neofascist Dogwhistles, </a>O’Mara accuses prominent conservative figures of racist overtures–stating that mainstream conservatives are increasingly embracing white nationalist positions and Nazi-style symbolism.
O’Mara alleges that conservatives utilize “racist dog whistles&#8221; to appeal to racist voters–which he defines as “grievance culture.” O’Mara claims the argument that Americans are equal is a tactic used by neo-fascists and demagogues.  O’Mara also states that the “Trumpist&#8221; movement is “neofascist.”

He applies this characterization to other conservative commentators, including Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, and Jordan Peterson–accusing many of antisemitism.

<a href="https://ethnicstudies.berkeley.edu/people/ramon-grosfoguel-1/">Ramon Grosfoguel</a> is an associate professor of Chicano and Latino Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. According to his university biography, Grosfoguel also specializes in decoloniality and the study of Islamophobia.
Grosfoguel is notable for his vocal opposition to the state of Israel and support for BDS. In an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu1PCTNGgB8&amp;ab_channel=IHRCtv">interview</a> with the Islamic Human Rights Commission during Al-Quds Day (an <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/on-quds-day-irans-leader-says-zionism-a-virus-that-must-be-eliminated/">Iranian holiday</a> dedicated to the destruction of Israel) not only did he claim that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians, but that Israel is a threat to peace across the world. Grosfoguel claimed that Israel is infiltrating nations and aligning itself with openly fascist organizations in order to strangle freedom of speech.
Grosfoguel also claims that Jews <a href="https://www.okcir.com/Articles%20VII%202/Grosfoguel-FM.pdf">cynically use the Holocaust</a> to elicit sympathy from the world in order to commit atrocities against Arabs;
“The simplistic identity politics of the Holocaust hegemonic narrative that essentialized Jewish identity as homogenous eternal victims and always intentionally innocent ended with Gaza.”   
“These simplistic and reductionist narratives about the Holocaust and Jewish identity were exploited by the Zionists for the last 60 years to legitimate their fundamentalist Jewish state built upon the practices and methods of settler colonialism against the Palestinians.”                  
“Hitlerism as a continuation of colonial racist ideology came back to hunt Palestinians this time at the hands of European Jews who ironically were escaping from the Nazi Holocaust.” 
“&#8230;the Holocaust was always manipulated, abused, and institutionalized by the Israeli settler colonialist state from its foundation in 1948 until today to justify its colonial domination, expansion, and terror.”

Grosfoguel specializes in anti-colonial rhetoric. Rather than a past vestige, Grosfoguel maintains that colonialism is an ongoing attempt by Western nations—particularly Israel and the United States, to maintain dominance throughout the world. Grosfoguel lectures that the capitalistic, Christian-centered West is able to bleed poorer nations dry to maintain their wealth. He claims that Christianity itself has given rise to genocides around the world, as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z8ISZolAMw&amp;ab_channel=IHRCtv=2m4s">“pre-modern” societies were far more peaceful</a> than modern, Western nations.
To Grosfoguel, the concept of human rights is a Western farce that is used to justify foreign invasions. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7jFaJf-aVE&amp;ab_channel=IHRCtv=9m46s">He has claimed</a> that America is a “rogue state” that has murdered upwards of 70 million people.
“Here comes the quintessential rogue state in the world, USA, calling other nations rogue states….This is really amazing, because this country, the last 60 years, has killed more than 70 million people.”  
In the same lecture, he held nothing back when grotesquely claiming that former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7jFaJf-aVE&amp;ab_channel=IHRCtv=7m0s">should have been put to death</a> alongside Sadam Hussein for his crimes as an imperialist:
“So Donald Rumsfield should have been sitting alongside Sadam Hussein and been judged, ok? And been hanged together with him.”  
Grosfoguel travels frequently to speak about his views on decolonization and is renowned among the Left for his views on the subject.

University of California-Berkeley

<a href="https://ethnicstudies.berkeley.edu/people/hatem-bazian/">Hatem Bazian</a> is a professor of Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the <a href="https://zaytuna.edu/academics/faculty/hatem-bazian">co-founder and assistant professor </a>at Zaytuna College, which is the only accredited American college in which the curriculum is based on Islamic fundamentals. Bazian’s resume is littered with antisemitic and pro-terror incidents, both on and off-campus.

When attending San Francisco State University, Bazian accused the student newspaper of being <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/19590/profiles-in-hate-hatem-bazian">infiltrated by “Jewish spies</a>,” and allegedly denied Jewish students jobs while serving as Student Body President, claiming their support of Israel exhibited their racism.

Bazian’s activism grew more militant with time. At an Islamic conference in 1999, he was quoted by the Detroit Free Press reciting an Islamic Hadith <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/8865/hatem-bazian-personal-story">calling for the slaughter of Jews</a>.
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2093" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-05-27T110304.469-e1653674626458-1024x506.png" alt="" width="450" height="223" />
After 79 members of Students for Justice in Palestine were arrested for disrupting a Holocaust memorial, Bazian asserted that the university's actions were racially motivated. During the subsequently organized protests, Bazain <a href="https://www.jweekly.com/2018/10/22/berkeley-city-councils-shameful-tolerance-of-anti-semitism/">insinuated that powerful Jews controlled the University and orchestrated the arrests</a>.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-986" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-25-e1606771551100-1024x312.png" alt="" width="450" height="137" />

Bazian’s thinly veiled antisemitism is seamlessly <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Hatem_Bazian">interlaced with his anti-Israel demagoguery</a>. A proponent of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement,  Bazian has called for the dismantlement of the state of Israel and has praised the terrorist group Hamas. Bazian <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mfv5yaKxNgo&amp;ab_channel=HamasOnCampus">openly called for a domestic insurrection</a> within America. Calling the crowd to arms at a 2003 anti-war rally, Bazian called for an “Intifada” to start in America.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2094" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-05-27T110636.459-e1653674828851-1024x532.png" alt="" width="450" height="234" />

The Intifada was then in the midst of its third year of blood-soaked carnage in Israel. Before it abated in 2006, <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/comprehensive-listing-of-terrorism-victims-in-israel">over one thousand men, women, and children would perish</a> from sniper fire and suicide attacks on buses, markets, and restaurants. The most gruesome attacks included the <a href="https://www.algemeiner.com/2020/10/26/what-the-ramallah-lynchings-taught-us-about-palestinian-incitement/">public lynching and disembowelment of two Israeli soldiers</a>, and the <a href="https://www.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/18-years-after-sbarro-suicide-attack-pa-has-paid-910823-to-the-culprits-598106">bombing of a Sbarro pizzeria</a>, killing 15 civilians, including 7 children and a pregnant woman.

Extending to the classroom and beyond, Bazian has co-founded two anti-Israel groups: <a href="https://canarymission.org/organization/SJP">Students for Justice in Palestine</a> (SJP), and American Muslims for Palestine (AMP).

Bazian co-founded SJP with fellow professor <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/snehalshingavi">Snehal Shingavi</a> in 2001 in solidarity with Palestinian groups, as the Intifada raged in Israel. The group is known for its belligerent tactics and hostility towards Jewish and pro-Israel students on campus. SJP openly calls for the destruction of Israel and has never been shy about their support for Hamas. <a href="https://canarymission.org/individual/Azka_Fayyaz">A student senator and member of SJP</a> at UC Davis <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/new-film-depicts-jewish-students-growing-insecurity-on-campus/">welcomed “Hamas and sharia law"</a> to campus.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SF2qAJl65k&amp;ab_channel=CanaryMission">American Muslims for Palestine</a>, of which Bazian serves as Chairman, is rooted in the now-defunct Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP). Facing scrutiny by the federal government over its ties to overseas jihadist groups, IAP ceased operations in 2003 to avoid prosecution. Many of the staff then <a href="https://docs.house.gov/meetings/FA/FA18/20160419/104817/HHRG-114-FA18-Wstate-SchanzerJ-20160419.pdf">reconstituted under the new banner of AMP with Bazian as Chairman</a>. Screenshots from IAP’s former website show that the group openly encouraged Islamic terrorism and what can only be described as ethnic cleansing of Jews.

Bazian is a tenured professor at one of the world’s most prestigious colleges. Tens of thousands of students have passed through his classroom while accruing many thousands more in debt, over his many decades in academia. His radicalism isn’t hidden—Bazian has openly embraced and preached the most radical, violent, and bigoted positions imaginable and sought to inspire future leaders with those same values.

UPDATE - May 27, 2022
A previous edition that attributed a quote to Hatem Bazian has been corrected and attributed to an article hosted on the IAP website in December, 2000

<a href="https://www.law.berkeley.edu/our-faculty/faculty-profiles/john-powell/">John A. Powell</a> is a Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley. During a<a href="http://www.whiteprivilegeconference.com/"> White Privilege Conference</a>, Powell was caught on film saying that the Bush Administration deliberately took money away from strengthening the levees during Hurricane Katrina because the levees were protecting black people.

<a href="https://vcresearch.berkeley.edu/faculty/nancy-scheper-hughes">Nancy Scheper-Hughes</a> is the Chancellor’s Professor Emerita in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkely. Her university biography <a href="https://vcresearch.berkeley.edu/faculty/nancy-scheper-hughes">states</a> that Scheper-Hughes approaches her work through a “politically engaged perspective” to examine “structural and political violence.”

&nbsp;
Anti-Second Amendment 
Immediately following the Pulse nightclub shooting, in which a Muslim man who pledged allegiance to ISIS <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/multiple-injuries-shooting-orlando-nightclub-police/story?id=39789552">entered Pulse, a gay nightclub, and opened fire, killing 50 individuals</a>, Scheper-Hughes <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160621134259/http://blogs.berkeley.edu/2016/06/19/radical-evil-a-reflection-on-the-orlando-massacre/">published</a> an article on the Berkeley Blog, a university website, to reflect on the events of the previous evening, titled, Radical evil: A reflection on the Orlando massacre.

In her article, Hughes <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160621134259/http://blogs.berkeley.edu/2016/06/19/radical-evil-a-reflection-on-the-orlando-massacre/">describes</a> the Pulse nightclub as a “sacred space” that was attacked by a man she describes as “radically evil.” However, she then blames the killings on hate speech of the “trumpers'' and the <a href="https://home.nra.org/">National Rifle Association</a>.

Referring to the Second Amendment in the post, Scheper-Hughes <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160621134259/http://blogs.berkeley.edu/2016/06/19/radical-evil-a-reflection-on-the-orlando-massacre/">states</a> that we have “failed as a democracy” to let “one amendment trump” all other amendments, leading to killings like the one in Orlando. She alleges that massacres throughout American history are typically committed by “orthodox conservatives” that suffer from a "perversity of heart."

Censorship
In mid-2017, the Berkely College Republicans <a href="https://twitter.com/BerkeleyCRs/status/884816647546064896">announced</a> on the group's Twitter account that they would host popular commentator Ben Shapiro. In an article for the website, CounterPunch, Scheper-Hughes <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/09/13/the-great-wall-of-uc-berkeley-vs-baby-face-shapiro/">decries</a> the decision to host Shapiro at the university, describing him as a “smart aleck, wisecracking, racist, sexist, misogynist, Islamophobic jerk.” She goes on to describe Shapiro as a “very dangerous, extremely controversial, physical threat” to Berkeley’s student body.

Scheper-Hughes further <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/09/13/the-great-wall-of-uc-berkeley-vs-baby-face-shapiro/">describes</a> Ben Shapiro in her article as a member of the “alt-light” that engages in hate speech. Hughes states that the First Amendment is a “work in progress” and that the amendment is “ignorant” and inadequately able to combat “hate speech.”

<img class="wp-image-1274 size-large aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-04-09T095657.035-e1617987455517-1024x299.png" alt="" width="580" height="169" />

While acknowledging that the university is “stuck” with the protections that the First Amendment affords Ben Shapiro, Scheper-Hughes implies that free speech can be regulated to ban hate speech.

The Professor Watchlist team reached out to Scheper-Hughes for comment but has not received a reply by the time of publication.

<a href="https://jewishstudies.berkeley.edu/people/ron-hendel/">Dr. Ronald Hendel</a> is a Professor of the Hebrew Bible and Jewish Studies at the University of California-Berkeley. At the beginning of Hendel’s class, titled “Jewish Civilization I: The Biblical Period,” he told students not to take his class if they think the Bible is infallible.

<a href="http://rhetoric.berkeley.edu/faculty-profile/james-i-porter-1">Dr. James Porter</a>, a Professor of Rhetoric at the University of California, Berkely and formerly of the University of California, Irvine, was one of 60 professors who supported the ban of the American flag from an "inclusive" area at UC Irvine. He signed a letter claiming that the American flag is a symbol of nationalism and racism.

<a href="https://ethnicstudies.berkeley.edu/people/ramon-grosfoguel-1/">Ramon Grosfoguel</a> is an associate professor of Chicano and Latino Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. According to his university biography, Grosfoguel also specializes in decoloniality and the study of Islamophobia.

Grosfoguel is notable for his vocal opposition to the state of Israel and support for BDS. In an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu1PCTNGgB8&amp;ab_channel=IHRCtv">interview</a> with the Islamic Human Rights Commission during Al-Quds Day (an <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/on-quds-day-irans-leader-says-zionism-a-virus-that-must-be-eliminated/">Iranian holiday</a> dedicated to the destruction of Israel) not only did he claim that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians, but that Israel is a threat to peace across the world. Grosfoguel claimed that Israel is infiltrating nations and aligning itself with openly fascist organizations in order to strangle freedom of speech.

Grosfoguel also claims that Jews <a href="https://www.okcir.com/Articles%20VII%202/Grosfoguel-FM.pdf">cynically use the Holocaust</a> to elicit sympathy from the world in order to commit atrocities against Arabs;

“The simplistic identity politics of the Holocaust hegemonic narrative that essentialized Jewish identity as homogenous eternal victims and always intentionally innocent ended with Gaza.”   

“These simplistic and reductionist narratives about the Holocaust and Jewish identity were exploited by the Zionists for the last 60 years to legitimate their fundamentalist Jewish state built upon the practices and methods of settler colonialism against the Palestinians.”                  

“Hitlerism as a continuation of colonial racist ideology came back to hunt Palestinians this time at the hands of European Jews who ironically were escaping from the Nazi Holocaust.” 

“...the Holocaust was always manipulated, abused, and institutionalized by the Israeli settler colonialist state from its foundation in 1948 until today to justify its colonial domination, expansion, and terror.”

Grosfoguel specializes in anti-colonial rhetoric. Rather than a past vestige, Grosfoguel maintains that colonialism is an ongoing attempt by Western nations—particularly Israel and the United States, to maintain dominance throughout the world. Grosfoguel lectures that the capitalistic, Christian-centered West is able to bleed poorer nations dry to maintain their wealth. He claims that Christianity itself has given rise to genocides around the world, as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z8ISZolAMw&amp;ab_channel=IHRCtv=2m4s">“pre-modern” societies were far more peaceful</a> than modern, Western nations.

To Grosfoguel, the concept of human rights is a Western farce that is used to justify foreign invasions. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7jFaJf-aVE&amp;ab_channel=IHRCtv=9m46s">He has claimed</a> that America is a “rogue state” that has murdered upwards of 70 million people.

“Here comes the quintessential rogue state in the world, USA, calling other nations rogue states….This is really amazing, because this country, the last 60 years, has killed more than 70 million people.”  

In the same lecture, he held nothing back when grotesquely claiming that former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7jFaJf-aVE&amp;ab_channel=IHRCtv=7m0s">should have been put to death</a> alongside Sadam Hussein for his crimes as an imperialist:

“So Donald Rumsfield should have been sitting alongside Sadam Hussein and been judged, ok? And been hanged together with him.”  

Grosfoguel travels frequently to speak about his views on decolonization and is renowned among the Left for his views on the subject. In 2018, he was invited to deliver <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pwX2ZQl0C0&amp;t=3173s&amp;ab_channel=LuiginoBracciRoa-Situaci%C3%B3nenVenezuela">opening remarks</a> addressing this topic at a Caracas-based conference hosted by Nicholas Maduro. Grosfoguel was well received at the conference and can be seen warmly greeting the dictator below.

<a href="https://ethnicstudies.berkeley.edu/people/keith-feldman-1/">Keith Feldman</a> is a head graduate advisor and an associate professor of Comparative Ethnic Studies at the University of California-Berkeley.

Speaking before the Berkeley-based conference Critical Discourses on Islamophobia, Feldman reserved most of his speech to criticize Barack Obama for killing jihadists. Labeling the administration’s <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/20132/uc-berkeley-and-the-islamophobia-lobby">use of drones to eliminate terrorists as Islamaphobic</a>—or what he termed as “racialization from above—he asked, “What happens when Islamophobia takes to the skies?”

Feldman compared the death of Osama bin Laden to a Jim Crow-era lynching. As he was describing his killing as the “residue of late nineteenth-century colonial settler violence,” Feldman <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/20132/uc-berkeley-and-the-islamophobia-lobby">displayed a black lynching victim in the background to serve as an analogy to his death.</a>

In 2015 while discussing his book, <a href="https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/a-shadow-over-palestine">A Shadow Over Palestine</a>, he claimed that <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/22864/berkeley-prof-race-in-america-is-like-occupation">American ghettos are akin to the Warsaw ghetto</a> during the Holocaust, which itself is akin to modern-day Palestinian refugee camps.

Feldman’s book praises the <a href="https://www.meforum.org/7244/a-radical-romance-with-the-palestinians">United World Conference Against Racism</a> held in Durban, South Africa. <a href="https://www.jpost.com/opinion/op-ed-contributors/durban-and-911-ten-years-later">The gathering is notorious for its antisemitism</a>, with vendors <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/durban-i-un-conference-against-racism-2001">selling the conspiratorial</a> ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zion’ and displaying banners that read ‘What if Hitler Had Won?’ Feldman praises this conference for uniting “hundreds” of NGOs to declare that “Zionism is racism.”

According to his university profile, Dr. Leonardo’s courses include: “Race, Whiteness Studies, and Education” and “Proseminar: Social Critique of Education.” Much of Dr. Leonardo’s work utilizes critical race theory to analyze areas such as race, class, culture, and gender in education.

Dr. Leonardo is also listed as an Affiliated Faculty Member of the Critical Theory Designated Emphasis at UC Berkeley. As part of the Graduate School of Education, the program explores the “<a href="https://gse.berkeley.edu/academics/ma-and-phd-programs/critical-studies-race-class-and-gender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">root causes and effects of white supremacy and settler colonialism in education</a>,” according to the official website.

Upon completion, those enrolled will earn a certification of “Designated Emphasis and Specialization in Critical Theory.” The university flaunts critical theory’s association with the Frankfurt School of Economics on its website. The Frankfurt School of Economics was <a href="https://www.heritage.org/sites/default/files/2020-12/BG3567.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">composed of openly Marxist economists whose writings eventually formed the basis for critical race theory</a>.

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. Leonardo has additionally published a number of other articles on critical race theory, race, and education. These include titles such as, “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/23793406.2016.1167111?journalCode=rree20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tropics of Whiteness</a>,” “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01596306.2013.822624" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Story of Schooling: Critical Theory and the Educational Racial Contract</a>,” and, “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13613320120117180" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Souls of White Folk</a>.” Another is titled, “<a href="https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9780203880371/race-whiteness-education-zeus-leonardo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race, Whiteness, and Education</a>,” in which he affirms the “central role” racism plays in society.

Dr. Leonardo declares racism to be systematic rather than based on individuals and must be addressed as such. He outlines the paper’s intent to interrupt this “dangerous” assertion in order to confront “whiteness” and racism in education. Further, in the same paper, Dr. Leonardo advocates the blending of Marxism and whiteness studies to understand racism. He then addresses the “myth” that whites do not think of themselves exclusively along with racial terms and that capitalism has spread “whiteness” across the globe.

In a separate lecture, Dr. Leonardo lauds critical race theory in even more explicit terms. In a lecture titled, “Who is afraid of CRT?” hosted at George Washington University, the event was <a href="https://gwtoday.gwu.edu/who%E2%80%99s-afraid-critical-race-theory-and-what-exactly-it-anyway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">marketed as an examination of “critical race theory, marxism, and whiteness studies</a>”.

In the lecture, Dr. Leonardo states the intent of his work in whiteness studies is to solve the problem of “whiteness” itself.

“In whiteness studies, whiteness is  the problem to be posed, if not solved.”

In another clip–captured by the Twitter user, <a href="https://twitter.com/MythinformedMKE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mythinformed MYKE</a>—Dr. Leonardo states, “whites are not born white,” rather, they are “abused’ by their white parents and raised that way.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<a href="https://www.law.berkeley.edu/our-faculty/faculty-profiles/khiara-bridges/#tab_profile" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Khiara Bridges</a> is a <a href="https://www.law.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of California-Berkeley Law Professor</a>, critical race theorist, and an advocate for abortion. She has further claimed that men can give birth and has refused to say whether unborn babies are worthy of dignity.

Dr. Bridges condemned the Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.—<a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/19-1392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dobbs V. Jackson Women’s Health Organization</a>—as an <a href="https://news.berkeley.edu/2022/06/24/khiara-m-bridges-court-abortion-ruling-is-an-assault-on-women-and-democracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“assault” against both women and democracy.</a> Dr. Bridges further alleged that <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/video/californians-express-outrage-over-roe-163817289.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banning abortion is a form of racism</a>:

“When you have a law that makes abortion unavailable, you have a law that makes unavailable a service upon which Black people disproportionately rely, so there’s a specific racial impact.”

Since the 1973 ruling, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/since-roe-abortion-has-killed-more-black-babies-than-the-entire-black-population-of-the-u-s-in-1960" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an estimated 20 million black children have been murdered via abortion</a>.

Speaking before a <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?521318-1/senate-judiciary-committee-hearing-abortion-access-law" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate hearing</a> regarding abortion policy, Dr. Bridges refused to address John Cornyn’s (R-Texas) question regarding disproportionate rates of black abortion. She again refused to answer when asked if an unborn baby has any value.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Cornyn: "Do you think a baby delivered alive has value?"

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

During her testimony, Dr. Bridges referenced “persons with the capacity for pregnancy” when speaking about individuals who sought abortions. When questioned by Senator Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) if she was referring to pregnant women, Dr. Bridges replied that she was referring to all “cis-women, trans-men, and non-binary people.”

When further pressed if abortion is a women’s rights issue, Dr. Bridges accused Hawley of asking questions that exposed “trans people to violence.”

Dr. Bridges then asked Hawley if he believes that men can become pregnant. Astonished, Hawley replied, “No, I don’t think men can get pregnant,” she further accused him of denying that trans people exist.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Hawley: Why are you using the term "person with a capacity for pregnancy" instead of "woman?"
Bridges: "Your line of questioning is transphobic and opens trans people to violence."

Hawley: "You're saying I'm opening up people to violence by saying women can have pregnancies?" <a href="https://t.co/eYaOYumYSJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pic.twitter.com/Yi46NlQCr0</a>

He wrote an editorial in the New York Times supporting the suppression of free speech on college campuses. He claimed &#8220;The idea of freedom of speech does not mean a blanket permission to say anything anybody thinks.

new-york-university-2

New York University

<a href="https://med.nyu.edu/faculty/arthur-l-caplan">Arthur Caplan</a> is the Dr. William F. and Virginia Connolly Mitty Professor of Bioethics at New York University (NYU) and Director of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU.

&nbsp;
Censorship
As <a href="http://www.campusreform.org/?ID=6690">reported</a> by Campus Reform, Caplan compares Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign to the rise of Adolf Hitler.

In the weeks following Donald Trump’s <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trump-announces-2016-presidential-campaign-make-country/story?id=31799741">announcement</a> that he would seek the 2016 Republican nomination, Caplan writes in <a href="https://www.poynter.org/reporting-editing/2015/commentary-the-danger-of-laughing-at-donald-trump/">Poynter, </a> a non-profit journalism and research center, that news organizations must hold Trump and the Republican party accountable “for the damage [Trump] does.” Caplan characterizes Trump’s views as racist and legitimizing of those American citizens who fear changing demographics.

While acknowledging that he views Trump’s chances as winning the nomination for the presidency unlikely, Kaplan draws parallels between Trump's campaign and the unexpected rise of Hitler in Germany.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1176 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-11T135453.240-e1615496377900-1024x345.png" alt="" width="580" height="195" />

Caplan further states in the same article that Trump is dangerous and that his speech is a classic ploy to generate fear and sow divisiveness.  Caplan urges journalists to treat more seriously the “danger” that Trump poses. Caplan accuses Trump of characterizing Mexicans as being criminals, rapists, and carrying diseases. Caplan says that these characterizations are similar to the rhetorical tactics used by the Nazi party against the Jews.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1177 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-11T140031.352-e1615496458532-1024x276.png" alt="" width="580" height="156" />

Despite his comparisons of Trump to Hitler, Caplan <a href="http://www.bioethics.net/2005/07/misusing-the-nazi-analogy/">argued</a> against the use of Nazi analogies to describe other people or political movements. In an article for bioethics.net, Caplan <a href="http://www.bioethics.net/2005/07/misusing-the-nazi-analogy/">states</a> that often those who draw analogies in arguments to Nazis, “do not know what they are talking about.”

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1178 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-11T140208.462-e1615496552778-1024x440.png" alt="" width="580" height="249" />

In the same article, Kaplan states that it is “ethically incumbent” on those who use these analogies to understand the history behind the Nazis, and not to diminish the horror of their atrocities. Kaplan describes the “cavalier” use of these analogies as “unethical.”

<a href="http://gallatin.nyu.edu/people/faculty/flr207.html">Dr. Frank Roberts</a>, a professor at New York University, warned of “Jewish elites” controlling the media, a favorite trope of anti-Semites.  He tweeted “Its crucial for the public to realize that NBC/MSNBC,The NYTimes,US News &amp; World Report, &amp; the NY Daily News are all owned by Jewish elites” and “Speaking out against Israel's massacre &amp; Jewish elites' monopoly of the American free press is not anti-Semitic. #Gaza, #Flotilla, #OilSpill.”

<a href="http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/faculty/Mark_Crispin_Miller">Dr. Mark Crispin Miller</a>, a professor at New York University warned that President Bush was spreading propaganda in order to form a theocracy in the United States. He also compared Bush to Hitler, saying “All the major war-drives in modern history... in Germany, in the Soviet Union, and in the Middle East -- have been impelled by people who believed that they were at risk, that they were being persecuted, that they faced annihilation. Hitler actually believed that 'world Jewry' threatened Germany, and that his bloody enterprise was a means of self-defense against the Jews. We know all too well that al-Qaeda's people universally regard the Jews and Christians as plotting to wipe out Islam. And the Christo-fascist types now in control of the United States believe that they're the victims of non-Christians."

<a href="https://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/faculty/ulrich-c-baer.html">Dr. Ulrich Baer</a> is a Professor of Comparative Literature at New York University. He wrote an editorial in the New York Times supporting the suppression of free speech on college campuses.

It means balancing the inherent value of a given view with the obligation to ensure that other members of a given community can participate in discourse as fully recognized members of that community."

<a href="https://gallatin.nyu.edu/people/faculty/amh20.html">Amin Husain</a> is a part-time faculty member at New York University and the Pratt Institute. According to the university’s website, Husain’s work focuses on “resistance and liberation, movement generated theory and practice.”

Husain is also confounded and directs the NYC-based activist group, “<a href="https://decolonizethisplace.org/">Decolonize This Place</a>” (DTP).  According to their website, DTP events center around “Indigenous Struggle, Black Liberation, Free Palestine, Global Wage Workers, and De-Gentrification.”

Husain and DTP are known for their extreme rhetoric and aggressive confrontations with law enforcement. Husain and DTP utilize ANTIFA style-tactics during protests. The <a href="https://decolonizethisplace.org/">homepage</a> of DTP regularly features videos of burning police vehicles.

Prior to the Museum of Natural History’s decision to remove their statue of Theodore Roosevelt, Husain joined a chorus of activists demanding that the statue be removed. DTP itself <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5e0c57d86cc9226827c754/t/5ee7ad184833d0007a2078fd/1592241433767/How+To+Take+Down+A+Monument_Poster.jpg">posted</a> a detailed graphic with instructions on toppling statues.

In January, DTP posted the following graphic for an upcoming <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=14391">protest</a> against the NYP. The damage from the protests led by Husain resulted in 13 arrests and over $100,000 in <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/02/15/nyu-professor-founded-anarchist-group-that-attacked-subways-last-month/">damages</a> to the NYC subway system.

As a member of NYC Solidarity With Palestine, Husain is known for using his position to entwine his anti-police and anti-Israel views. Husain projected his radicalism at the June “No To Annexation” rally, hosted by the anti-Israel group <a href="https://www.wolpalestine.com/about">Within Our Lifetimes</a>. Husain can be seen telling the crowd that police "are our enemy" in a video captured by the Middle-East watchdog the <a href="https://www.memri.org/tv/no-to-annexation-anti-israel-rally-abolish-police-israel-american-government-death-to-america">Middle East Research Institute</a>.

Her <a href="https://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/faculty/ruth-ben-ghiat.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">professional biography lists her as an expert on fascism, authoritarianism, war, propaganda, and Donald Trump.</a> She is the author of the book, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Strongmen-Mussolini-Present-Ruth-Ben-Ghiat/dp/1324001542" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Strongman: From Mussolini to the Present</a>,” and frequently makes appearances on CNN and MSNBC.

Dr. Ben-Ghiat frequently criticizes conservatives, characterizing them as violent and an outright threat to democracy. She additionally alleges that supporters of the second-amendment birthed a culture that directly resulted in the January 6th “insurrection.”

In an article for CNN—titled, “Parental control is a smokescreen tactic for right-wing activists”—Dr. Ben-Ghiat <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/14/opinions/parental-control-smoke-screen-right-wing-activists-ben-ghiat/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denounces parents who object to COVID-19 restrictions in schools</a>.

Dr. Ben-Ghiat describes these parents as elements of the “authoritarian culture” that is eroding democracy. She specifically cites their opposition to mandatory masking and vaccination of children, alleging it stems from a “Q-Anon” belief.

She states that “anti-vaccine militants” and “white-christian evangelicals” are using “parental rights” as a smokescreen to abolish private education. She decries parents allegedly “censoring” books that would teach children about the “centrality of racism and slavery” to this country’s founding. She further criticizes calls for parental control in education, describing it as the installation of “authoritarian culture” in towns and local school boards.

In a separate article for the Washington Post—titled,”<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/10/26/gun-violence-authoritarianism-normalization/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">America’s Gun Culture is Priming Us for Authoritarianism</a>,”—Dr. Ben-Ghiat alleges the Capitol Riots are the inevitable result of an armed citizenry.

She is referring to the incident surrounding January 6, 2021 at the Capital <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/02/09/965472049/the-capitol-siege-the-arrested-and-their-stories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in which a number of protestors breached the Capitol’s Doors during certification of the 2020 Presidential Election</a>, some violently so.

Dr. Ben-Ghiat alleges that general access to lethal weapons enables “mass death” and a “democratic decline” in America. She bizarrely connects the January 6th “insurrection” to civilian ownership of firearms, alleging the later enables “mass death” and desensitizes others to human life.

Dr. Ben-Ghiat further alleges that gun owners are willing to harm others in exchange for their freedoms, alleging that no loss of life seems to deter them:

She then connects gun ownership to a rise of fascism in America, alleging that dictators controlled masses through a climate of fear and mass death. She states that gun owners are using this same formula to encourage “fundamentalist and cult ideologies'':

<a href="http://www.cla.csulb.edu/departments/journalism/people/faculty/chris-knap/">Christopher Knap</a>, a Communications Professor at CSULB, assigned a homework assignment which mocked Trump as sexist and homophobic. The assignment involved an employee named "Ronald Plump" that harassed women and used homophobic slurs.

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

Michael Park is an instructor at California State University-Long Beach. He used a media law class to disparage Tea Partiers and conservatives as being birthers. In an assignment, he implied that opposition to President Obama is based on a belief that he is not a "true American". This is similar to a class taught by Christopher Knap, a fellow CSULB professor that assigned a homework assignment implying Trump is homophobic/sexist.

<a href="https://cla.csulb.edu/departments/africanastudies/events/2021-07/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Maulana Karenga</a> is Chair of <a href="https://cla.csulb.edu/departments/africanastudies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Africana Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.csulb.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California State University - Long Beach</a>. Dr. Karenga was a prominent black nationalist during the 1960s and 1970s, during which time he founded the holiday, “Kwanzaa.” Prone to extremity and paranoia, Dr. Karenga was convicted for the imprisonment and torture of two women he falsely suspected of poisoning him.

Born Ronald McKinley Everett, Dr. Karenga founded <a href="http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/45a/767.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kwanzaa as a pan-African holiday</a> in 1966. Despite that most American blacks are descended from West Africa, the name and traditions are based on East African Swahili. He would further <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/12/kwanzaa__a_madeup_holiday_.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">state the holiday’s proximity to Christmas was intentional, as otherwise it wouldn't be noticed</a> by the black community.

People think it’s African. But it’s not. I wanted to give black people a holiday of their own. So I came up with Kwanzaa. I said it was African because you know black people in this country wouldn’t celebrate it if they knew it was American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that’s when a lot of bloods [blacks] would be partying!

Dr. Kerenga intended for Kwanzaa to replace Christian and Jewish holidays. As he wrote in his book—Kawaida Theory—Western faith, “denies and diminishes human worth, capacity, potential and achievement." In Christian and Jewish mythology, humans are born in sin, cursed with mythical ancestors who've sinned and brought the wrath of an angry God on every generation's head.”

Dr. Karenga adopted his current name after embracing black nationalism while living on the West Coast in the 1960s. He would go on to found his own group—titled, <a href="https://www.us-organization.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Organization US</a>—as a more radical alternative to his rivals in the Black Panther Party.

<a href="http://web.stanford.edu/~ccarson/articles/am_left.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Black Panthers</a>—known officially as the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense—was a black-nationalist and Marxist organization that operated largely in California during the 1960s and 1970s. Known for their violent tactics and enforcement of party discipline, members would<a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/whitewashing-the-black-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> pour boiling water over suspected </a>police informants. Co-founder, Huey Newton, is <a href="https://www.salon.com/1999/12/13/betty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspected to have taken part in multiple murders</a> committed by the Panthers.

Dr. Karenga’s organization frequently clashed with the rival, Black Panthers. Following a dispute over who would lead the Afro-American Studies Center at UCLA, <a href="https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/600011/posts?page=7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Organization US members shot two Black Panthers to death on the campus in 1969</a> which set off a series of shootings across Los Angeles that summer. The incident caused Dr. Karenga to fall into paranoia and suspect his own followers of plotting to kill him.

On the evening of May 9th, 1970, Dr. Karenga and several of his followers confronted two women who were staying at his home. He accused both of placing poison “crystals” in his food and water. According to court testimony, the women were then stripped naked, bound, and ordered to confess. Dr. Karenga tortured both women over the next two days, beating each with an electrical cord, and then branded them with a soldering iron.

While awaiting trial, Dr. Karenga’s mental health continued to deteriorate. The court-appointed psychologist found him to be schizophrenic, and reportedly caught Dr. Karenga speaking to hallucinations in his jail cell:

“Since his admission here he has been isolated and has been exhibiting bizarre behavior, such as staring at the wall, talking to imaginary persons, claiming that he was attacked by dive-bombers and that his attorney was in the next cell. During part of the interview he would look around as if reacting to a hallucination and when the examiner walked away for a moment he began a conversation with a blanket located on his bed. This man now presents a picture which can be considered both paranoid and schizophrenic with hallucinations and elusions, inappropriate affect, disorganization, and impaired contact with the environment.” 

The court later sentenced him to one to ten years in jail for two counts of felonious assault, and one count of false imprisonment. However, he was granted parole in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kwanzaa-was-invented-insane-leftist-gangster-who-michael-j-knowles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1975 thanks to a letter-writing campaign by his followers.</a>

While in jail, Karenga converted his ideology from Black Nationalism to explicit Marxism. In 1978, just a few years after his release, Dr. Karenga was hired as the Chair of the African Studies department, where he now resides as of March 2022.

Daniel F. Liefwalker is a<a href="https://ohsu.pure.elsevier.com/en/persons/daniel-liefwalker" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> research assistant professor</a> at Oregon Health &amp; Science University. His areas of interest include molecular and medical genetics. He has penned a few publications related to DNA and genetic coding.
When he isn’t teaching or in the lab researching genetics, he can be found rioting with ANTIFA. In August of 2020, Liefwalker was <a href="https://rosterhome.blogspot.com/2020/08/daniel-leafwalker-arrested-in-multnomah.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested around 3am</a> for trespassing in Portland, which is a class C misdemeanor. He was arrested alongside 23 other ANTIFA rioters. The “protest” turned violent when a man was spotted trying to light the city hall building on fire, and other ANTIFA rioters were throwing items at police officers. He was released on his own recognizance, and additional information regarding the court case is not currently available.
As reported by <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/dhs-leaked-email-confirms-that-antifa-is-an-organized-group" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Post-Millennial</a>, leaked emails from the Department of Homeland Security show that law enforcement agencies identify ANTIFA as an organization that engages in “organized” rather than sporadic violence.

The arrest in August 2020 was not Liefwalker’s first run-in with the law, however. According to <a href="https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1297744227384737792" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American conservative journalist Andy Ngo</a>, Liefwalker was arrested in 2008 at Oregon State University for “drunken, belligerent, and aggressive behavior.”
Oregon Health &amp; Science University has remained silent in regards to Liefwalker’s ANTIFA-related arrest. As of Fall 2021, he is still teaching at the university.

Dr. Omar Suleiman is an adjunct professor of Islamic Studies and a member of the <a href="https://www.smu.edu/Provost/Ethics/AboutUs/AdvisoryBoard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ethics Center Advisory Board</a> at <a href="https://www.smu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Southern Methodist University</a> in Dallas, Texas. A prominent interfaith activist, he serves as <a href="https://yaqeeninstitute.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President for the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research</a>, resident scholar for the Valley Ranch Islamic Center, and a member of the leadership council of <a href="https://www.faithforwarddallas.org/leadership" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Faith Forward Dallas at Thanksgiving Square</a>.

Dr. Suleiman has praised Islamic terrorism and is a fierce opponent of the existence of Israel. Furthermore, he remains an active affiliate for Islamist organizations with connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and radicals convicted of terrorism.

The controversy surrounding Dr. Suleiman’s work first arose when he was invited to give the opening invocation for the House of Representatives in May 2019. In response, New York Representative, Lee Zeldin, condemned the decision over what he described as Dr. Suleiman’s support of the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic terrorism.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Totally unacceptable that <a href="https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SpeakerPelosi</a> had Omar Suleiman give the opening prayer yesterday in the House. He compares Israel to the Nazis &amp; calls them terrorists, supports Muslim Brotherhood, incites violence calling for a Palestinian antifada &amp; the end of zionism, etc. Bad call <a href="https://t.co/bZakjQVwsJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pic.twitter.com/bZakjQVwsJ</a>

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)<a href="https://www.cair.com/press_releases/cair-dallas-calls-on-people-of-conscience-to-stand-with-imam-omar-suleiman-condemn-smear-campaign-launched-after-his-prayer-in-congress/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> leapt to Dr. Suleiman’s defense</a>, stating,

“These attacks are in bad faith and meant to again send a message to the American Muslim community that we are not welcome to assert ourselves in any meaningful space or way.“

Dr. Suleiman further described the accusations to The Middle-East Monitor as a “<a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/omar-sulaiman-attacked" target="_blank" rel="noopener">coordinated smear campaign” to “erase Muslim leaders from public life</a>,” by “antisemitic” news outlets.

His public statements and denials stand in contradiction to past social media posts in which Dr. Suleiman called for a third Intifada, compared Israel to Nazi Germany, and described Zionists as, “enemies of God.”

In now-deleted tweets from 2014, Dr. Suleiman celebrates what he hopes will become the “Third Intifada.”

<a href="https://archive.ph/X7PTs" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-2013" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screen-Shot-2022-03-23-at-12.35.42-PM.png" alt="" width="500" height="555" /></a>

An intifada—Arabic for “uprising”—refers to a series of Palestinian insurrections within Israel. From 2000-2005, the Second Intifada—known as the <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/background-and-overview-of-al-aqsa-intifada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Al-Aqsa Intifada</a>,”—claimed over 1,100 Israeli lives. During this time period, terrorist groups deployed <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/comprehensive-listing-of-terrorism-victims-in-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suicide bombers and gunmen to target civilians in crowded areas to maximize casualties</a>.

Dr. Suileman tweeted his support for a Third Intifada during  “Operation Protective Edge” in which Israel took military action to destroy weapons and bases in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. The operation was launched after the<a href="https://www.memri.org/tv/hamas-leadership-acknowledges-responsibility-kidnapping-three-israeli-teens" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers by the terror group Hamas</a>.

Other Facebook posts compare Israel’s treatment of Palestinians to the Nazi treatment of Jews during the Holocaust.

Another post describes supporters of Israel as enemies of God and “humanity as a whole.”

&nbsp;

In a now-deleted Facebook post from 2013, Dr. Suleiman posted the “Rabaa” hand gesture which is universally understood in the Middle East as a <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/09/what-this-hand-gesture-means-for-egypts-future/279730/">signal of support for the Muslim Brotherhood</a>.

&nbsp;

The <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/135.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Muslim Brotherhood is a Sunni Islamist movement founded in Egypt</a> whose adherents seek to implement Sharia (Islamic) Law in public life. The motto of the Brotherhood is a reflection of this exact ambition,

“God is our goal, the Quran is our Constitution, the Prophet is our leader, struggle [jihad] is our way, and death in the service of God is the loftiest of our wishes. God is great. God is great.”  

Many organizations supported by Dr. Suleiman maintain active connections to the Brotherhood. He <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/58573/omar-suleiman-and-the-vile-propaganda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raises money for the anti-Israel group American Muslims for Palestine</a> (AMP) and has <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJwSwk7Nsbo&amp;ab_channel=BluePeace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoken at the conferences of the Islamic Society of North America</a> (ISNA). Dr. Suleiman <a href="https://www.cair.com/press_releases/dr-omar-suleiman-to-offer-address-for-dec-4-cair-annual-gala/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has further associations with the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR)</a>.

CAIR, ISNA, and AMP are regarded to be front groups for the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States. ISNA and the predecessor to AMP (the Islamic Association for Palestine) are identified in <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/20.pdf#page=21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Muslim Brotherhood documents as organizations to further the group’s goals in North America</a>. Members of CAIR were recorded by the FBI in a <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/282/cair-executive-director-placed-at-hamas-meeting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1993 meeting in Philadephia discussing how to assist the terrorist group Hamas </a>in derailing the then-ongoing peace negotiations in Israel. The latter was submitted as evidence in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial in which CAIR and ISNA were implicated by the Justice Department.

Once the largest Muslim charitable organization in the United States, the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) and five of its leaders were <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/federal-judge-hands-downs-sentences-holy-land-foundation-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">convicted in 2008 for funneling over $12 million dollars to Hamas</a>. CAIR and ISNA were <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2010/10/unindicted-coconspirators-andrew-c-mccarthy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">both labeled as unindicted co-conspirators in the terror-financing trial</a>.

Despite the evidence, Dr. Suleiman continues to align with CAIR and alleges that the convicted HLF members are innocent. In an article for <a href="https://religionnews.com/2021/10/11/3932775/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Religion News Service,</a>  Dr. Suleiman describes those convicted as “political prisoners'' and innocent of any crimes. He further decries their conviction and the war on terror at-large as a campaign of “perpetrated bigotry” against Muslims.

Dr. Suleiman has additionally defended Aafia Siddiqui, also known as “lady Al-Qaeda.” Siddiqui is currently <a href="https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/newyork/press-releases/2010/nyfo092310.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">serving an 86-year sentence for attempting to murder US soldiers in Afghanistan</a>.

<a href="https://politicalscience.sonoma.edu/faculty-staff/barry-preisler">Barry Preisler</a> is a Lecturer in the Political Science Department at Sonoma State University.  According to his university biography, Preisler has taught at Sonoma for over 15 years and his area of expertise is the Middle East. Preisler’s courses include International Political Economy, Modern Political Ideologies, Ideas and Institutions, and American Political Institutions. 

As revealed by a confidential source who recorded the lecture in full, Preisler accused conservatives of being “under the grasp of fascism” in Preisler’s introductory class, Modern Political Ideologies.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1097 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-78-e1612889473708-1024x374.png" alt="" width="580" height="212" />

In the same recorded lecture, Preisler stated that present-day conditions  “overlap” with fascist movements just prior to World War II. He explained that the class would be studying the rise of fascism, especially as the nation is currently witnessing the “re-emergence” of the same fascist powers.

Preisler asserted that prominent leftist academics and authors would be mandatory reading in the course, such as Naomi Klein’s, Shock Doctrine - Disaster Capitalism, Chris Hedges’, American Fascists, and selections from Noam Chomsky.

The recorded lecture continued with Preisler disparaging his students who identified as libertarians.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1098 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-79-e1612889584974-1024x271.png" alt="" width="580" height="153" />

Explaining the course’s topics, Preisler praised the constitution written during the French Revolution, stating that it was even “more extensive” than our own Bill of Rights.

The recorded lecture continued with Preisler praising Marx stating that, while he possessed “mistaken insights”, he was “dead on target” that capitalism would destroy itself. Preisler then insinuated that the alleged self-destruction of capitalism was only corrected with the New Deal’s “spectacularly successful” effort in restraining the free market.

In the same lecture sent by TPUSA’s confidential source, Preisler also insinuated that “a former president” could be easily assassinated.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1099 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-80-e1612889979753-1024x445.png" alt="" width="580" height="252" />

Preisler’s insinuation that bullets are democratic is that bullets are indiscriminate about who they kill.

The Professor Watchlist team reached out to Preisler for comment, but have not received an answer by the time of publication.

Kelli Alvarez is an <a href="https://www.ou.edu/cas/fyc/people/faculty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Assistant Teaching Professor</a> at the University of Oklahoma. Her areas of interest include race and ethnicity in literature and film as well as indigenous and other ethnic literature. Alvarez teaches freshman-level courses, including English Composition, where she requires all students to read a publication by Professor Watchlist identified <a href="https://professorwatchlist.org/professor/ibramxkendi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ibram X. Kendi</a> titled, “When Free Speech Becomes Unfree Speech.”
<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1762" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-1.16.41-PM.png" alt="" width="456" height="211" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-1.16.41-PM.png 456w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-1.16.41-PM-300x139.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px" />
When Alvarez isn’t teaching first-year composition courses, she is <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/07/classroom-censorship-comes-to-the-university-of-oklahoma/">leading workshops</a> for fellow teachers and professors on “anti-racist rhetoric &amp; pedagogies.” Over the summer of 2021, Alvarez led a classroom censorship workshop discussing how to “set an anti-racist tone” in the classroom and ultimately silence certain students. During the workshop, she discussed how particular students are emboldened to be overly racist in the classroom, both in-person and through their writing. She said that while some teachers may be afraid to tell students they can’t say something in class, teachers absolutely have the right to tell students to be quiet and stop talking.

&nbsp;
Alvarez goes on to claim that the Supreme Court ruled that hate speech is not protected by the U.S. Constitution. She states, “the Supreme Court has actually upheld that hate speech, derogatory speech, any of the -isms do not apply in the classroom because they do not foster a productive learning environment.”
According to <a href="https://www.freedomforuminstitute.org/about/faq/what-rights-to-freedom-of-expression-do-students-have/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Freedom Forum Institute</a>, The Supreme Court ruled in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969) that students “do not shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech and expression at the schoolhouse gate.”
Later in the lecture, Alvarez discusses a concept called “white institutional defensiveness,” which she describes as conditions that force non-white students to conform and assimilate to whiteness or else risk consequences. Alvarez asserts that not allowing non-white students to write in ABE style (Adult Basic Education) is racist and perpetuating white supremacy.
According to the Division of Adult and Career Education, ABE style is meant for native English-speakers with limited literacy, below a 9th grade level. The video of the entire workshop can be viewed <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byxl61VDYp8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.

<a href="https://www.law.ou.edu/directory/steven-j-cleveland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Steven J Cleveland</a> is the Alfred P. Murrah Professor of Law and Thomas P. Hester Presidential Professor at the<a href="https://law.ou.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> College of Law at the University of Oklahoma (OU</a>).
During the 2022 Spring Semester, the University of Oklahoma implemented strict mandates on students and faculty to limit the spread of COVID-19. Dr. Cleveland is currently enforcing these policies in his classroom to such an extreme extent that students are threatened with being removed from class and reported to the Dean of the school for not wearing a mask.
Upon returning for the Spring 2022 semester, students were informed by <a href="https://www.normantranscript.com/news/ou-requiring-masks-for-first-two-weeks-of-classes/article_704a7026-723a-11ec-aa7b-139ccc6f40da.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the university’s administration they will be forced to wear face masks</a> in classroom settings until February 1 when masks will then become<a href="https://www.ou.edu/together/campus-protocols/spring-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> strongly recommended.</a>
This mandate is in direct contradiction with Oklahoma state law. In May of 2021, Governor Kevin Stitt <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/05/29/oklahoma-gov-kevin-stitt-bars-agencies-mask-vaccination-mandates/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned any state agency or building–including public universities–from requiring either a mask or vaccination status for entry</a>.
Nevertheless, professors at OU are still enforcing mask mandates and threatening to penalize students who do not comply with the restrictions. In communications reviewed by the Professor Watchlist team, professors are removing maskless students from class and threatening their grades due to the forced absences. Others refuse to even meet with students who are unvaccinated and will report unmasked students to their respective Dean.
One student, Alyssa Amundsen, vowed to defy the university mandates. She emailed each of her professors in the law school explaining that she would not wear a mask in class under any circumstance. While some professors were accommodating, many were not, and refused to allow her to attend in person.
Dr Cleveland was the most resistant to grant any exemptions. Amundsen was barred from attending class despite obtaining a medical exemption from wearing a mask last year from her doctor.
Amundsen emailed Dr. Cleveland to ask if she could attend class without a mask. Dr. Cleveland immediately refused her request and threatened to report her to the Dean of the Law School if she made a maskless appearance.

&nbsp;
Amundsen then offered to take the class remotely via ZOOM since the course is already recorded for students who are absent due to COVID. Despite this, Dr. Cleveland again refused, stating that “taking a stand for her beliefs has consequences.”
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-1942" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IMG_9810-2-707x1024.png" alt="" width="450" height="652" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IMG_9810-2-707x1024.png 707w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IMG_9810-2-207x300.png 207w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IMG_9810-2-768x1112.png 768w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IMG_9810-2-1061x1536.png 1061w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IMG_9810-2.png 1122w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" />
&nbsp;
n a follow-up conversation with two Deans of the law school—Dr. Steven Gensler and Dr. Kathleene Guzman—Amundsen was still adamant to reach a compromise. Both told her there is no recourse she and can only attend in-person classes while wearing a mask per university rules. She was eventually forced to drop the class or risk having her grade reduced due to her absences.
While an injunction has been placed on Governor Stitt’s executive order, the Judge <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/oklahoma-school-mask-mandate-ban-blocked-exemptions-79769836" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruled that schools must include an “opt-out.” So far, OU has provided no such opt-out</a> for students and staff.
The Professor Watchlist team has reached out to Dr. Cleveland but has not received a reply by the time of publication.
&nbsp;
UPDATE
Following publication, the Professor Watchlist team has received the following statement from Mackenzie Scheer, Director of Media Relations at the University of Oklahoma, in regards to our inquiry.
&#8220;Since the onset of the pandemic, OU has sought to implement protocols that will protect our community, while also allowing for our in-person experience to continue. Given the transmission rate of Omicron and supply chain issues around testing, OU instituted a temporary addendum to its existing masking policy, requiring masking in all classrooms through Jan. 31. Beginning Feb. 1, the university reverted to its Fall 2021 masking guidance that expects masking in the classroom and requires masking for a two-week quarantine period when a confirmed positive COVID-19 case in the class is identified. While the university does not grant exemptions, it does evaluate requests for accommodations in certain cases. Students in need of accommodations due to health or religious reasons were instructed by law school administrators to contact the <a href="mailto:OU%20Accessibility%20and%20Disability%20Resource%20Center" target="_blank" rel="noopener">OU Accessibility and Disability Resource Center</a> at <a href="mailto:adrc@ou.edu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">adrc@ou.edu</a> or (405) 325-3852. All accommodation decisions are made on a case-by-case basis after considering each individual’s circumstance and in accordance with all applicable laws. Once a request has been approved, instructors are responsible for providing a student’s reasonable accommodation.&#8220;

In April of 2020, <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/157505/morbid-ideology-behind-drive-reopen-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lowndes published an article</a> in the New Republic bashing conservative officials and citizens alike for their “dangerous views” on COVID-19. In the article, he accuses conservatives in the U.S. House of Representatives of being “pathological” for their refusal to wear masks when voting on the coronavirus relief bill. He also claims conservatives only want the country to remain open to “keep the current wealth stratifications in place and protect the rich from economic harm.”
Many articles and research publications written during lockdowns detailed how <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/13/business/small-businesses-coronavirus.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">small businesses would simply not be able to survive</a> if they continued to be locked down. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/covid-19s-toll-on-u-s-business-200-000-extra-closures-in-pandemics-first-year-11618580619" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal</a> noted that roughly 200,000 businesses permanently closed because of the pandemic. Lockdowns also caused many people in the United States to lose their jobs &#8211; approximately 9.6 million Americans were let go in 2020 due to COVID-19.

Joy Reid–host of The Reid Out on MSNBC– is a Hearst Visiting Professor at Howard University in Washington DC. Reid is known to launch into partisan diatribes during broadcasts and regularly uses her platform to berate conservatives.
During the riots in the summer of 2020 following the death of George Floyd, Reid has claimed there is “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzPloMpG2EM&amp;ab_channel=MSNBC">zero evidence</a>” that any of the destruction was connected to the movement. She has claimed that when there was any violence, it was inflicted by “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzPloMpG2EM&amp;ab_channel=MSNBC">white supremacists</a>” and Trump supporters.
It is reported that there was a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/">significant presence</a> by BLM activists at over 95% of the riots during the summer of 2020, resulting in at least 47 deaths and over <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion.">2 billion</a> in damages.
Reid has <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/msnbc-joy-reid-labels-justice-150310965.html">referred to Justice Clarence Thomas as “Uncle Clarence,”</a> a reference to the racial epithet “Uncle Tom” when discussing his court rulings.
Following the <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/james-hodgkinson-shooting-republicans-baseball-game">2017 congressional baseball shooting</a>, Reid and her guest <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGQEdDySUVI&amp;ab_channel=MSNBC">mocked the victims for holding insufficiently liberal positions</a>. She accused Louisiana Congressman Steve Scalise of racism while he was fighting for his life after the attack.
In 2018, blog posts were unearthed from Reid’s old website that contained inflammatory language, bigoted statements, and<a href="https://nypost.com/2018/05/31/joy-reid-reportedly-once-touted-notorious-9-11-conspiracy-film/"> links to conspiracies that accused the United States government of plotting the 9/11 terror attacks</a>. <a href="https://nypost.com/2018/04/24/msnbc-stars-lame-excuse-after-homophobic-remarks-surface/?_ga=2.40761378.1834013034.1527547273-216432594.1517259352">Reid alleged that many members of Congress were secretly gay</a>, and <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/msnbc-host-joy-reid-criticized-jews-ariel-sharon-in-old-blog-posts/">openly mocked Jews</a>.
Once the blog was unearthed and began receiving media attention, Reid initially acknowledged that she had written the posts and apologized for her “bigoted remarks.” However, once additional posts surfaced, Reid reversed her position and claimed that she had never written the blog posts to begin with. Reid claimed on national television that <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/am-joy/watch/watch-msnbc-s-joy-reid-address-offensive-blog-posts-1221485635964">she “genuinely does not believe that“ she wrote the posts</a> and alleged that her blog was hacked. After her statement, cyber-security experts confirmed that there <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/04/the-evidence-is-not-with-joy-reid/558935/">was little evidence of Reid’s blog ever being breached</a>.
Reid<a href="https://newsroom.howard.edu/newsroom/article/13601/award-winning-msnbc-news-anchor-joy-reid-joins-howard-university-2021-hearst"> currently teaches a journalism class titled “Covering Race, Gender, and Politics in the Digital Age”</a>. Reid plans to teach journalism students how to navigate “partisanship and political division.”
“Particularly in this era of virtual media, and deep partisanship and political division, it’s never been more important that journalists incorporate a thorough and honest historical context in our coverage. I can’t wait to interact with the brilliant students at Howard and share ideas with them on how we as an industry can be better and do better.”

She accused Louisiana Congressman Steve Scalise of racism while he was fighting for his life after the attack.

In 2018, blog posts were unearthed from Reid’s old website that contained inflammatory language, bigoted statements, and<a href="https://nypost.com/2018/05/31/joy-reid-reportedly-once-touted-notorious-9-11-conspiracy-film/"> links to conspiracies that accused the United States government of plotting the 9/11 terror attacks</a>. <a href="https://nypost.com/2018/04/24/msnbc-stars-lame-excuse-after-homophobic-remarks-surface/?_ga=2.40761378.1834013034.1527547273-216432594.1517259352">Reid alleged that many members of Congress were secretly gay</a>, and <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/msnbc-host-joy-reid-criticized-jews-ariel-sharon-in-old-blog-posts/">openly mocked Jews</a>.

Once the blog was unearthed and began receiving media attention, Reid initially acknowledged that she had written the posts and apologized for her “bigoted remarks.” However, once additional posts surfaced, Reid reversed her position and claimed that she had never written the blog posts to begin with. Reid claimed on national television that <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/am-joy/watch/watch-msnbc-s-joy-reid-address-offensive-blog-posts-1221485635964">she “genuinely does not believe that“ she wrote the posts</a> and alleged that her blog was hacked. After her statement, cyber-security experts confirmed that there <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/04/the-evidence-is-not-with-joy-reid/558935/">was little evidence of Reid’s blog ever being breached</a>.

Reid<a href="https://newsroom.howard.edu/newsroom/article/13601/award-winning-msnbc-news-anchor-joy-reid-joins-howard-university-2021-hearst"> currently teaches a journalism class titled “Covering Race, Gender, and Politics in the Digital Age”</a>. Reid plans to teach journalism students how to navigate “partisanship and political division.”
“Particularly in this era of virtual media, and deep partisanship and political division, it’s never been more important that journalists incorporate a thorough and honest historical context in our coverage. I can’t wait to interact with the brilliant students at Howard and share ideas with them on how we as an industry can be better and do better.”
