Joe Kuilema

<a href="http://www.calvin.edu/academic/social_work/faculty/kuilema/">Dr. Joe Kuilema</a>, an instructor at Calvin University, condemned all white people for being white supremacists after swastikas were found on campus. “As a white male, I benefit tremendously from institutions and systems that have been built by and for people like me. This is how the social sciences define racism, not as merely the product of prejudice, explicit or implicit bias, but a system of power based on the invention of the ‘white race’ by people in power.” According to Kuilema, any institution, including Congress and the college itself, that was founded by white people is inherently an example of white privilege.

<a href="https://art.appstate.edu/connect/directory/stephenson-john" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. John Stephenson</a> is an associate professor of Art History at <a href="https://www.appstate.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Appalachian State University</a> in Boone, North Carolina.
In an email provided exclusively to the Professor Watchlist team by an anonymous source, Dr. Stephenson pressured students who had not received the COVID-19 vaccine to drop his class.
During the Fall 2021 semester, Dr. Stephenson gave his students a questionnaire the day before the email was sent on August 18th. One question asked students if they were vaccinated against COVID-19. In the letter, Dr. Stephenson announced the findings of the survey, which allegedly indicated that 25% of the class had yet to be vaccinated.
“Hi Folks- We took the student questionnaire yesterday, and I appreciate the many who answered frankly about their vaccination status: just to report that at the least, 20% of our class is not vaccinated. Since some left that blank, we must guess that they too are unvaccinated, so likely~25% of our students are not vaccinated.” 
Dr. Stephenson then castigates students who elected not to receive the vaccine, describing their decision as “highly dubious” and “tragic.”
“Among those who frankly reported a reason, the several who reported they&#8217;ve already had covid {sic} and thus have antibodies presented a logical reason. For others who share that they “just don’t trust it,” “its too soon,” or yes- that, “their own families are begging them not to get vaccinated”- these are objectively highly dubious and frankly tragic reasons. Two numbers speak for themselves- approaching 700,000 Americans DEAD from covid SO FAR, nearly all without vaccines, and approx. ONE Billion, 200 THOUSAND vaccines given worldwide, almost ENTIRELY safely.”
Continuing, Dr. Stephenson stresses the danger of the “Delta” variant, alleging it to be far more virulent than past COVID strains. He further alleges that it is “incorrect” to assume young and asymptomatic people cannot spread the virus.
“The new, virulent Delta variant puts a new tragic urgency to this: more young people and children are getting sick, over 400 small children have died in the U.S. so far, Delta produces ONE THOUSAND TIMES more viruses in the nasal passages than before, those infected with Delta average FIVE others they infect, 40-60% more than before; and even if one imagines incorrectly that they’re ‘immune,’ due to youth, they will still spread Delta to about 5 other people even if they show no symptoms. Do the math in our class. On top of that, it is now shown that Delta is more virulent and produces worse and longer symptoms than before.”
Dr. Stephenson accuses his students’ parents of being “mired in the same lack of real facts” and thus contributing to the severity of the pandemic. He urges them to not rely on their parents, pastors, or other “right news sources.” Dr. Stephenson accuses the latter of lying repeatedly “without penalty” due to the “high bar of prosecution” in the US.
“Here’s one place the tragedy starts: you cannot be a responsible, informed American citizen if you only get ‘news’ in tailored, biased nuggets from Facebook and other private sources from Facebook and other private sources. You cannot offload your responsibility and knowledge to parents, esp since many, like mine own, are mired in the same lack of real facts. You cannot rely on right wing news sources: in the US, the bar is so high for prosecution that they can regularly lie about covid and the rest without penalty- and they do, And you can’t rely on traditional sources of authority such as your pastor if they are mired in the same loop of misinformation that spreads like a virus on social media and ‘news.’ You MUST learn and think, for yourself, and that starts with availing yourself of the best, real data and news. Laziness regarding our info sources and our responsibilities truth have led us to this point we are in today, in all of the political and medical outcomes.” 
Dr. Stephenson proceeds to laud the Washington Post and New York Times for their “extremely high standards for accuracy” and fact-checking staff. He encourages students to purchase a subscription in order to best inform themselves about the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It’s always been the case that our most trusted regular facts and news come from our largest, city based print based news organizations, like the Washington Post and the New York Times.The Washington Post offers students and faculty a daily digital newspaper at a mere $4.50 per month, and it’s the best deal on any product of any kind! These organizations have extremely high standards for accuracy, and employ very large staffs dedicated solely to checking a {sic] re-checking the facts on any issue, before they put their imprint on it and publish. Please consider a subscription if you haven’t already.”
Finally reaching the peak of his crescendo, Dr. Stephenson laments that herd immunity will never be reached and “we will likely suffer with this forever.” He requests unvaccinated students to withdraw from his class, claiming they could “wipe out” himself and the rest of the class.
“A reminder that if most Americans had gotten the vaccine long before this tragic date, we likely could have reached sufficient herd immunity &#8211; could have controlled or wiped out covid already &#8211; and we’d be sitting in our free and easy classrooms &#8211; without masks or worries. It’s now predicted that we can never reach herd immunity, and will likely suffer with this forever. So I ask finally, that those who are not vaccinated and have no factual health reason for that, consider dropping our course. Just the 20% who are unvaccinated could wipe out me and our class in “ideal” viral conditions. “ I can’t make you, and I certainly won’t call you out or punish you, but these are the FACTS.” 
*Reminder: in general I will not be offering any special zoom sessions for those who are ill. &#8220;

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Stephenson for comment prior to publication. In his response, Dr. Stephenson initially described our inquiry as “bullshit” and having quoted him out of context, but then proceeded to defend his remarks. Dr. Stephenson additionally claimed he received permission from a University Provost to ask about a student’s vaccination status.
He further referred to the author of the profile as a “wack job,” described Turning Point as a “Trump cult fake organization, ” and attached a screenshot of the author’s personal Twitter profile to the email. Dr. Stephenson additionally attached members of the Department of Art to his email.
The full text and screenshot of the email are included below.
“Dear &#8216;Team&#8217;- or Ben Larrabee that is- wack job with the Trump cult fake organization &#8220;Professor Watchlist&#8221; perhaps? I am a Faculty Senator &#8211; and in our Senate retreat of Saturday August 14, our Provost Heather Norris stated that we were permitted to inquire with students about their vaccination status. It&#8217;s on public record in the audio recording , so eat one. The rest of your claims are bullshit taken out of context, though yes, it&#8217;s true that if a pastor, or any other authority figure is mired in your looney conspiracy theories that put politics above their very life,  a young person would be much safer finding out for themselves. Keep your lunatic fringe crap to the swamp you come from or contact our admin. I&#8217;m busy doing my job.  But do put me on your smarmy &#8220;list,&#8221; I would be honored.  How&#8217;s that for a &#8216;speedy reply.&#8217;   Thank you! John Stephenson”

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

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

“Dear students, NONE of you have my permission to screenshot emails sent to the class so that you may post them on Facebook. Not only is it in bad taste, but you would do well to avoid violating classroom and university policies regarding confidentiality. Your friend has ratted you out.”

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

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

As a critical race scholar, Dr. Armour’s work focuses on police brutality, mass incarceration, and systemic and cultural racism. He freely admits that critical race theory is included in his curriculum.

<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Critical race theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism</a>—also referred to as critical theory—that alleges that <a href="https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white supremacy infects all political, legal, and cultural institutions</a> in America. Many prominent critical theorists, including professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones">Dr. Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even claim that the <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones">nation’s true founding year is 1619</a>—rather than 1776—when the first slave stepped foot in North America.

He’s further described his work—namely <a href="https://larbbooks.org/product/ngga-theory-print/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“N*gga Theory: Race, Language, Unequal Justice, and the Law</a>,” and, “<a href="https://nyupress.org/9780814706404/negrophobia-and-reasonable-racism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Negrophobia and Reasonable Racism</a>,”—as “steeped” in critical race theory and was invited to teach critical theory to public departments in Los Angeles County.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
My first book, “Negrophobia &amp; Reasonable Racism: The Hidden Costs of Being Black in America,” was also steeped in Critical Race Theory. The common theme: the formal equality produced by the Civil Rights Movement—“colorblind formalism”—cannot address systemic &amp; unconscious racism.

Dr. Armour is notable for his advocacy on behalf of District Attorneys (DAs) supported by George Soros while he served as a fellow of George Soros' Open Society Foundation.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/9-things-you-need-know-about-george-soros-aaron-bandler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Hungarian-born billionaire</a>, George Soros and The Open Society Foundation donate billions of dollars to progressive causes across the country, totaling <a href="https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/who-we-are/financials" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over $18 billion dollars over the past 35 years</a>. The Foundation’s operating budget for 2020 alone was 1.4 billion dollars.

The <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/12/16/how-george-soros-funded-progressive-das-behind-us-crime-surge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beneficiaries of Soros’s philanthropy are progressive District Attorneys who run on issues such as ending cash bail and “mass incarceration</a>.” Author, Matt Palumbo, has <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2021/11/08/matt_palumbo_how_george_soros_overhauled_the_us_justice_system.html#!" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documented tens of millions of dollars flowing from Soros and the Open Society Foundation</a> to campaigns of far-left DAs across the country.

Once elected, they immediately begin to decriminalize or refuse to prosecute certain “non-violent” crimes such as robbery, drug possession, and vandalism. This sometimes includes more serious offenses. The Soros-backed DA for Chicago, <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/10/decriminalizing_gang_bangers_soros_prosecutor_kim_foxx_declines_to_charge_five_arrested_in_fatal_gang_shootout_citing_mutual_combatants.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kim Foxx, cited “mutual combat” in her decision to decline prosecution of a fatal gang shooting</a>.

<a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/02/the-deadly-consequences-of-defund-the-police/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coupled with the nationwide defunding of police departments</a>, cities with Soros-funded DAs are witnessing record levels of crime. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/twelve-major-cities-with-new-homicide-records-in-2021-all-led-by-democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twelve major US cities broke homicide records in 2021.</a>

Officially titled the Soros Justice Senior Fellow of The Open Society Institute’s Center on Crime, Communities and Culture, Dr. Armour works not only to promote radical, criminal justice reform but uses his position within USC’s Law School to recruit Soros-backed, far-left DAs across the country.

Dr. Armour frequently hosts these DAs as part of his lecture series at the USC College of Law. One is Los Angeles County DA, George Gascon, who is known for his <a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/report/george-gascon-rogue-prosecutor-whose-extreme-policies-undermine-the-rule" target="_blank" rel="noopener">radical stances and failure to prosecute </a>serious offenses.

Gascon’s office has been criticized for <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2021/12/07/convict-arrested-for-murder-of-jacqueline-avant-as-l-a-faces-violent-crime-surge-in-wake-of-reforms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">releasing criminals who would later go on to commit violent crimes</a>. In 2021, a <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/01/17/la-da-ripped-after-child-molester-faces-little-or-no-time/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transgender woman who raped a 10 year-old girl in a bathroom</a> received a substantially reduced sentence based on recommendations from Gascon’s office.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aziluYm1Kbk&amp;ab_channel=USCGouldSchoolofLaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During their conversation</a>, Dr. Armour audibly agreed with Gascon as he claimed that the police originate from slave patrols in the antebellum south.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Armour-George-Soros-Part-2.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

During one point, Gascon compared the arrests of homeless people to confinement in a concentration camp, even stating that if a person is assaulted by a vagrant in front of their “million-dollar condo,” the solution is not to arrest or institutionalize them.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/My-Movie-1.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

A notable portion of Dr. Armour’s conversation with Gascon is when both described their efforts to elect progressive DAs in cities across the country. Gascon even bragged about how $50 million raised by George Soros and the ACLU was used to recruit and fund the campaigns of like-minded DAs across the country.

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

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

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

<a href="https://paulcollege.unh.edu/person/robert-woodward">Robert Woodward</a> is a Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of New Hampshire. Professor Woodward, according to an online schedule, usually teaches Health Economics on Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, he spent that time driving students to the polls in a car decorated with Democratic campaign posters - paid for by the Ready for Hillary Super PAC.

<a href="https://cola.unh.edu/person/robin-hackett">Dr. Robin Hackett</a> is a Professor of English and also teaches in the Women Studies program at the University of New Hampshire. She called for an investigation and expulsion of two people (possibly students) who jokingly wore a Harambe and Richard Nixon costume outside an anti-Trump event.

<a href="https://physics.unh.edu/people/faculty/chanda-prescod-weinstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein</a> is an Assistant Professor in the <a href="https://physics.unh.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Physics and Astronomy</a> and a Core Faculty Member of the <a href="https://cola.unh.edu/womens-gender-studies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Women’s and Gender Studies</a> Department at the <a href="https://cola.unh.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of New Hampshire</a>.

As a member of the organization, <a href="https://www.particlesforjustice.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Particles for Justice</a>, Dr. Prescod-Weinstein was a primary organizer for the “Strike for Black Lives” in June of 2020.

Particles for Justice is a far-left organization composed of scientists and mathematicians who are <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/physicists-condemn-sexism-through-particles-for-justice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dedicated to ending what they allege as “rampant racism and sexism in STEM fields</a>.” The group was first organized in 2018 to protest a lecture by physicist Alessandro Strumia, in which he affirmed that biological differences exist between men and women.

In the Summer of 2020, Dr. Prescod-Weinstein—who identifies as a <a href="https://magazine.scienceforthepeople.org/web-extras/particles-for-justice-racial-justice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“black queer femme physicist”</a> and an “<a href="https://www.cprescodweinstein.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">activist for equality in science</a>”—and other scientists organized the strike among academics in solidarity with the <a href="https://m4bl.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Movement for Black Lives</a> (MBL), also referred to as the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.

According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Federalist</a> found, “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

According to an official letter for the group—co-authored by Dr. Prescod-Weinstein—the organizers allege black students feel unsafe on <a href="https://www.particlesforjustice.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“predominantly white campuses” and professors face “anti-blackness” in academia</a>. The organizers called for <a href="https://www.particlesforjustice.org/strike-details" target="_blank" rel="noopener">academics to cease their normal university duties and spend the day protesting or conducting “antiracist“ actions on behalf of BLM</a>. As of June 10th, 2020, the website listed 5,874 administrators and professors as having walked off their jobs during the strike.

In her own personal statement authored for the strike, Dr. Prescod-Weinstein describes her efforts organizing the strike and the ongoing national protests as <a href="https://www.particlesforjustice.org/note" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an attempt to “save her life" and “the lives of all black people.</a>” She further decries having to conform culturally and professionally to “whiteness,” and urges white people to take up anti-racist work in order to make black people feel more comfortable.

Dr. Prescod-Weinstein’s activism and views are further displayed on her <a href="https://twitter.com/IBJIYONGI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal Twitter account</a>. She consistently tweets condemnations of America and conservatives as racist, support for critical race theory, and accusations that Israel is committing genocide against Arabs:

In a separate paper for The University of Chicago—​​titled, “Making Black Women Scientists under White Empiricism: The Racialization of Epistemology in Physics”— Dr. Prescod-Weinstein <a href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/704991#_i5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decries the concept of objectivity under “European ideas of science”</a> dominating her field through “colonial force.” She defines “white empiricism” as serving “white supremacist traditions in science” at the expense of black scientists.

The Professor Watchlist team reached out to Dr. Prescod-Weinstein for comment but did not receive a reply by the time of publication.

<a href="https://cola.unh.edu/person/david-finkelhor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. David Finkelhor</a> is a Professor of sociology at the University of New Hampshire. <a href="https://www.unh.edu/ccrc/person/david-finkelhor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to his university profile</a>, he is the Director of the Crimes against Children Research Center and co-Director of the Family Research Laboratory. Dr. Finkelhor is known for his research into child sexual abuse and related topics.

Dr. Finkelhor lectures on a wide variety of subjects such as “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpangX4UaO4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sexual Abuse Prevention</a>,” “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsoYh5WF2Yc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Developmental Victimology</a>,” and more. He also participates in a variety of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-fViw7Uuxs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">child sexual abuse conferences</a>.

On March 23, 2022 Dr. Finkelhor participated in a webinar discussing the “<a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1515916310814859264" target="_blank" rel="noopener">elements of voluntary participation</a>” by juveniles involved in sex crimes; saying that when trying to prevent sex crimes against children, it is key to realize that in some cases, it is the children themselves that are “initiating sexual activities with adults.” Dr. Finkelhor also suggested that he believes it is not “effective” to assume that a pedophilic relationship escalates because of a “predatory or criminally inclined adult.”

On June 25, 2020 in a webinar called “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpangX4UaO4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Let's Talk About Prevention</a>,” Finkelhor stated that “Another thing about diversity that is very important to recognize is that in spite of the stereotype, most of the adult offenders are not “pedophiles”... Many are opportunistic and situational and acting on relationships that develop, or opportunities that are made available to them.”  Dr. Finkelhor refers to “offenders” as ambivalent and stresses the importance of differentiating the labels between a pedophile and an offender.

&nbsp;

Recently, there have been articles questioning Dr. Finkelhor's motives on the subject. <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/professor-says-minors-can-be-enthusiastically-involved-in-initiating-sexual-activities-with-adults" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Post Millennial</a> reports his statements, “There's not good enough research on issues related to maturity with regard to sexual behavior that allows a clear demarcation here.”  He noted that there can be elements of voluntary participation in statutory sex crimes wherein juveniles engage in sex with adults who are at least five years older than they are. Statutory rape, he said, is “much narrower than statutory sex crimes in general.”

Dr. Finkelhor’s rating on Rate My Professor is a <a href="https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=142310" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2.1 out of 5</a> with a number of reviews mentioning his teaching methods as “lecture heavy” and so on.

<a href="https://apps.weber.edu/wsuimages/Communication/Faculty%20Photos/Bios/Wash%20Web%20Bio.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Ryan Wash</a> is the Communication Instructor, Director of Debate, and Director of Forensics at Weber State University.
According to his university profile, Mr. Wash is the only two-time, National Debate Tournament and Cross-Examination Debate Association Champion, both as a player and coach. Mr. Wash additionally facilitates workshops in “social justice, deliberative democracy, and debate” on behalf of the university. During one such retreat during the 2019 Fall semester, Walsh was accused of being “racist” and “anti-white” by a student in attendance, Michael Moreno.
In audio captured by Moreno, Mr. Wash accuses white people of fabricating the existence of space and facilitates a conversation where students discuss forcibly launching all white people into space.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjvmIFrX1xQ&amp;t=1687s&amp;ab_channel=MichaelMoreno" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The recording is interspersed with video commentary from Moreno</a>. The event in question took place during an “<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/university-investigating-black-debate-instructor-who-argued-space-isnt-real-created-by-whites/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">optional, pre-season retreat for students</a>”, according to the university.
According to Moreno, attendees were supposed to be debating the topic, “Should the US government work with Russia and China to reach space?” Instead of coaching students during the exercise, Mr. Wash launched into a racially tinged tirade, alleging that space is not real. He further characterizes concepts like “science and technology” as merely the projection of “white fantasies;” since neither he nor anyone else in the room has been to space, it can’t be real.
“Our argument will be that space is not real. It’s not real. Science, technology, it’s all fake. It’s a projection of white fantasies that has worked to control our interpretation of how the world works….None of us have had the privilege of going to space to verify that there’s these stars and these galaxies and these planets.” 
In the published video, Moreno can then be heard pointing out the absurdity of the argument, citing the existence of black astronauts. This is quickly dismissed, as Mr. Wash alleges that black people collaborate with whiteness, in this case, to lie about the existence of outer space.
Mr. Wash would later claim the purpose of the exercise is for the <a href="https://kutv.com/news/local/weber-state-debate-under-microscope-after-secret-recordings-go-viral" target="_blank" rel="noopener">instructor to adopt purposefully extreme positions to test students’ ability to debate and formulate arguments</a>. The remainder of the audio, however, demonstrates that Mr. Wash aligned with other students against Moreno, rather than challenging their arguments.
Around the 12 minute mark, the exercise escalated as several students began suggesting that all white people be removed from the earth. One student is heard advocating for launching all white people into space in order to create a safer planet for black people. Instead of dissecting the argument as directed, others soon chimed in to ask if doing so would only allow white people to colonize other worlds and enslave other forms of life.
Rather than point out the absurdity of their argument, Mr. Wash states that it&#8217;s more of a matter of practicality of getting white people into space.
Attempting to challenge both arguments, Moreno is rebuffed by other students, who claim he cannot ask questions to black students’ questions as a white man. Mr. Wash would further imply that Moreno’s objections were on par with that of sexual assault.
“So you being like if they’re women debaters and they’re like “this is what space means” and you’re like “no actually space means this way” – this is like a form of linguistic violence. I’m not going to go so far as to say the “R” word in there [implying “rape”], but it’s a form of linguistic assault.” 
Prior to the release of the video, Moreno reported the incident to Mr. Wash’s department supervisors. Following scrutiny by the media, the university vowed to look into the incident, but still sided with Mr. Wash,<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20191105161610/https://www.theepochtimes.com/college-debate-professor-science-is-a-projection-of-white-fantasies_3137028.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> stating that his views are protected under academic freedom</a>.
“At the heart of this complex debate are three fundamental values: American higher education’s unwavering commitment to academic freedom, an individual’s right to freedom of expression, and Weber State’s dedication to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment.”
As of November 2021, Mr. Wash is still teaching at the university. <a href="https://deadline.com/2017/08/debate-champion-ryan-wash-plan-b-annapurna-macro-daniel-barnz-movie-deal-1202140093/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">He will also be the subject of an upcoming, Brad Pitt-financed movie about his life</a>, of which Mr. Wash will serve as executive producer.

<a href="https://www.engineering.cornell.edu/faculty-directory/bruce-monger" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Bruce Monger</a> is the Director of Undergraduate Studies for <a href="https://www.eas.cornell.edu/eas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Earth and Atmospheric Sciences</a> at <a href="https://www.cornell.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cornell University</a> in Ithaca, New York. According to his University profile, Dr. Monger teaches Introductory Oceanography, Physical Oceanography, and Satellite Remote Sensing.
In an interview, Dr. Monger—who describes himself as a socialist—admits his classes are taught for the purpose of creating revolutionaries.

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

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

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.

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

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

<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.

<a href="https://www.engineering.cornell.edu/faculty-directory/bruce-monger" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Bruce Monger</a> is the Director of Undergraduate Studies for <a href="https://www.eas.cornell.edu/eas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Earth and Atmospheric Sciences</a> at <a href="https://www.cornell.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cornell University</a> in Ithaca, New York. According to his University profile, Dr. Monger teaches Introductory Oceanography, Physical Oceanography, and Satellite Remote Sensing.

In an interview, Dr. Monger—who describes himself as a socialist—admits his classes are taught for the purpose of creating revolutionaries.

Dr. Monger further uses his classroom to intimidate and bully students if they fail to adhere to Cornell’s COVID-19 policies. In a letter from October of 2021, the professor asks for help in identifying a “hook-nosed” student. He threatens to flunk him, as well as another student who allegedly did not wear their mask in class.

In July of 2021, the university <a href="https://covid.cornell.edu/updates/20210730-indoor-masks.cfm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mandated masks to be worn indoors at all times, regardless of vaccination status</a>. Cornell additionally <a href="https://covid.cornell.edu/vaccines/vaccination-cornell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">requires students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to attend classes</a>.

In the course-wide email—obtained by the Twitter handle “<a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1455022824620376066?s=21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Libs of Tik-Tok</a>”—Dr. Monger asks for help identifying two students who did not wear masks during the previous class period:

“I wanted to ask for your help in identifying two oceans students who were photographed with their masks off during the oceans class last Friday.”

Dr. Monger proceeds to detail the physical appearance of both students, stating that one had “a fairly prominent hooked nose.” He threatens to fail both students once they are identified by himself or another student.

“If/when I identify the students, I will be failing both of them for the semester as promised I would in class last Wednesday.”

<a href="https://www.uwp.edu/learn/instructorprofiles/facultystaffdetail.cfm?uid=dana">Seif Da’na</a> is a professor and Associate Dean at the University of Wisconsin &#8211; Parkside.  Da’na has lectured that <a href="https://dailynorthwestern.com/2015/05/15/campus/university-of-wisconsin-parkside-professor-discusses-israeli-colonialism-zionism-on-eve-of-nakba-day/">Israel is a racist, colonial state conducting ethnic genocides in the Middle East</a>. He regularly makes media appearances on outlets like NowThisNews–often <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44_TMreiuF8&amp;ab_channel=TheRealNewsNetwork">running cover for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt</a>.
While <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/wisconsin-professor-claims-western-economics-deadlier-than-coronavirus">appearing on the Lebanese-based Manar TV</a>, Da’na supported the Chinese government&#8217;s claim that the Coronavirus in fact originated in the United States and was deliberately released.
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-1008 size-large" src="http://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-42-e1606778343297-1024x537.png" alt="" width="580" height="304" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-42-e1606778343297-1024x537.png 1024w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-42-e1606778343297-300x157.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-42-e1606778343297-768x403.png 768w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-42-e1606778343297-1200x629.png 1200w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-42-e1606778343297.png 1299w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" />
During the same appearance, Da’na downplayed the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic—describing them as inconsequential to the damage that Western nations inflict on the rest of the world.

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

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

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">

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.”

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>.

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.”

Dr. LaGarrett King is an <a href="https://education.missouri.edu/person/lagarrett-king/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associate Professor</a> at the University of Missouri in the College of Education &amp; Human Development. Dr. King is the founding Director of the University’s Carter Center for K-12 Black History Education in the Department of Learning, Teaching, &amp; Curriculum. In the video below, Dr. King discusses his areas of research and his interest in critical race theory:

His areas of expertise are listed as African American History Education, Race Critical Theories and Knowledge, and Critical Multicultural Teacher Education. He has also written various publications for outlets including Deseret News, Journal of Negro Education, and Journal of Social Studies Research.

When he isn’t writing peer-reviewed essays or teaching at the University of Missouri, Dr. King can often be found lecturing on the subject of education in various Missouri school districts as a <a href="https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/lawmakers-hear-testimony-in-favor-of-banning-critical-race-theory-in-missouri-schools/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“curriculum consultant.”</a> In the summer of 2021, Dr. King led a workshop for Missouri school districts on how to <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2021/07/27/missouri-teachers-crt-advocate-caught-discussing-deceive-parents/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sneak teaching of ‘white privilege’ past conservative parents</a>. In the workshop, Dr. King suggested that teachers should use different verbiage in order to get away with teaching critical race theory in the classroom.

<a href="https://www.umt.edu/academics/faculty/tobin-shearer.php">Dr. Tobin Shearer</a> is a Professor of African-American Studies at the University of Montana. He argues all statistics showing differences between races (such as economic differences, health differences, etc.) are traceable to systemic racism. In a Youtube video, Shearer says “To be white in America is to claim an identity that attempts to be de-racialized and is predicated upon the receipt of power and privilege simply on one’s appearance: a racialized appearance from the fundamental equations that whiteness equals access to power and privilege based on one’s racial identity.”

<a href="https://socanth.olemiss.edu/james-thomas/">James M. Thomas</a> is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Mississippi.

According to his university biography, his efforts are concentrated around researching “race, racism, their histories, and contemporary practices.”

During the 2018 Senate confirmation hearings of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, James Thomas <a href="https://www.wlox.com/2018/10/18/put-fingers-their-salads-ole-miss-professor-urges-harassment-senators/">tweeted</a>,

“Don’t Interrupt a Senator’s meal, y’all. Put your whole damn finders in their salads. Take their apps and distribute them to other diners. Bring boxes and take their food home with you on the way out.  They don’t deserve your civility.” 

Thomas’s tweet came in response to a viral video of <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ted-cruz-heckled-by-radical-protesters-in-dc-restaurant-video">Senator Ted Cruz</a> and his wife being heckled out of a Virginia restaurant by aggressive protestors.

Following receiving tenure from Ole Miss, James proceeded to refer to conservative teens as akin to the Hitler Youth:

“MAGA teens are modern day Hitlerjugend. Got a uniform and everything.” 

“When I said MAGA teens are the modern day Hitlerjugend, I meant it. What we’re watching at this rally is the aesthetics of fascism.” 

Ironically enough, Thomas <a href="https://olemiss.edu/aboutum/standingcommittees/commdetail.php?id=10858662&amp;n=Acad.%20Freedom%20%26%20Faculty%20Responsibility">serves</a> on the Standing Committee for Academic Freedom and Faculty Responsibility, which is charged with determining if a professor’s or academic’s academic freedom was interfered with. Thomas’s tweets pose a serious question as to whether he can remain neutral on the committee when he is asked to hold hearings on other colleagues' work or dismissal from the University.

 &#8211; Thank you for reaching out. I am not sure what you are asking me to do, but if it is about being featured on your list, please go ahead and add me; I&#8217;d be honored to join all the other fabulous scholars on it. Can my husband join too? 
Also, your organization is currently campaigning to have me fired from TTU, so I am not sure that your request is timely and/or reasonable.
Best,

The Professor Watchlist Team later received an additional reply from Professor Gruber, which is featured below.
 &#8211; PS: My subversive dog Fauci and my ungovernable cat Mrs. Maisel would like to be featured on a list as well. Does TPUSA also keep a list for liberal pets?

Long story short: the far right&#8211;in concert with the soulless, amoral administration of Midwestern State University&#8211;has succeeded in destroying my academic career and, frankly, my life. “

Erik Loomis

<a href="https://web.uri.edu/history/meet/erik-loomis/">Erik Loomis</a> is an associate History professor and the Director of Graduate Studies at the University of Rhode Island. His university biography states that his research interests include labor and environmental history, global capitalism, and the U.S. West. Loomis is known for his defense of the terrorist group ANTIFA, calling for the execution of NRA Vice-President Wayne LaPierre, and voracious opposition to law enforcement.
Loomis first attracted attention in 2012—following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting—for his condemnation of the NRA. In a series of tweets, <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=4544">he called for</a> Wayne LaPierre’s “head on a stick” and dubbed the NRA a “terrorist organization” that murders children.

In addition to authoring an <a href="https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2018/08/mccain">insulting eulogy</a> following the death of the late Senator John McCain, Loomis uses his online platform to denigrate prominent conservatives while visiting their grave-sites. He <a href="https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2015/10/erik-visits-an-american-grave-iv">described William F.

In addition to authoring an <a href="https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2018/08/mccain">insulting eulogy</a> following the death of the late Senator John McCain, Loomis uses his online platform to denigrate prominent conservatives while visiting their grave-sites. He <a href="https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2015/10/erik-visits-an-american-grave-iv">described William F. Buckley</a> as a “rotting putrescent corpse of one of the worst human beings to ever foul the land of this fine nation,” and <a href="https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2019/04/erik-visits-an-american-grave-part-463">referred to Navy Seal Chris Kyle</a> as a “professional murderer.”

Mary K. Gayne is an <a href="https://www.jmu.edu/history/people/all-people/gayne-mary.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associate Professor of History</a> at James Madison University. Her areas of interest include World History, European History, French History, and Integrative General Education. She has written scholarly publications for outlets such as the Journal of Women’s History, Eighteenth-Century Studies, and Presses Universitaires de Paris-Sorbonne.
When Dr. Gayne isn’t teaching or writing for various journals, she can be found on Twitter <a href="https://www.breezejmu.org/news/jmu-history-professor-publicly-claims-republican-party-can-die-for-all-i-care/article_ddf2bb30-0e25-11eb-a4fc-57151a21b524.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bashing conservatives</a>. In a controversial tweet from 2020, Dr. Gayne says she wouldn’t care if conservatives died. She claimed conservatives didn’t care about the US Constitution, and “f#&amp;k ‘em all.” The tweet can be viewed below:
<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1769" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-2.04.26-PM.png" alt="" width="665" height="381" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-2.04.26-PM.png 665w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-2.04.26-PM-300x172.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px" />
After the tweet emerged, there was significant public outcry from students at James Madison University. Dr. Gayne quickly deleted the tweet, claiming that it was because of the “f-bomb.” In a statement, Dr. Gayne wrote, “I did choose to delete yesterday&#8217;s tweet. It became clear that the sensibilities of twitterites &amp; robots, that publicly identify themselves as MAGA adherents, were upset by my dropping of the ‘F-bomb’ in a political tweet on my personal twitter feed.” She also tried to claim she didn’t mean the people in the party, but the U.S. political party itself.
<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1768" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-1.50.26-PM.png" alt="" width="355" height="210" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-1.50.26-PM.png 355w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-12-at-1.50.26-PM-300x177.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px" />
Dr. Gayne went on to say she is not concerned about her students finding and viewing her personal Twitter feed. She writes, “I am no more worried about my students seeing my personal Twitter feed and discovering that I am a person who has dogs and political opinions, than I am about stumbling across their social media posts and discovering that they are people who play sports and have political opinions.” Contrary to this statement, however, her Twitter profile has become private.
When a Republican group on campus asked the University to look into the tweet, University spokesperson, Caitlyn Read, made a statement asserting that the University encourages individuals to have their own thoughts and opinions, but they do not condone or reflect the values expressed in the tweet. The University, however, did not give Dr. Gayne any consequences. As of Fall 2021, Dr. Gayne is still teaching at James Madison University.

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

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

This in turn drew a “violent response of white communities” over their perceived loss of racial entitlements.

He writes further that Donald Trump draws upon the “myth of the white worker”—or a nostalgic return to a mythical era—to “activate the white populace” to protect their privilege.
Rather than a fringe scholar, Dr. Finley’s work is openly promoted by the university. At his most <a href="https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/theadvocate.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/2/ae/2aed5752-7568-11eb-8871-4f0d6325ef45/6034426fa5d8a.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent event</a>, the communications department hosted Dr. Finley to discuss his book alongside other whiteness and critical race scholars.

In a press release preceding the event, Dr. Finley characterizes the <a href="https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/theadvocate.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/2/ae/2aed5752-7568-11eb-8871-4f0d6325ef45/6034426fa5d8a.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">religion of the white people as the “motivating factor” for the rise in white supremacist </a>sentiment, which in turn resulted in the “Capitol Insurrection.”
The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Finley for comment, but he declined to respond prior to publication.

The specific instances that Dr. Finley cites are the white supporters of Donald Trump and the “MAGA Movement” at large. He alleges that the rise of Donald Trump is a backlash to the racial progress brought on by a black president (Barack Obama).

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2032 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-03-30T171427.426-e1648685691615-1024x243.png" alt="" width="580" height="138" />

This in turn drew a “violent response of white communities” over their perceived loss of racial entitlements.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2033 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-03-30T171601.515-e1648685790456-1024x307.png" alt="" width="580" height="174" />

He writes further that Donald Trump draws upon the “myth of the white worker”—or a nostalgic return to a mythical era—to “activate the white populace” to protect their privilege.

Rather than a fringe scholar, Dr. Finley’s work is openly promoted by the university. At his most <a href="https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/theadvocate.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/2/ae/2aed5752-7568-11eb-8871-4f0d6325ef45/6034426fa5d8a.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent event</a>, the communications department hosted Dr. Finley to discuss his book alongside other whiteness and critical race scholars.

In a press release preceding the event, Dr. Finley characterizes the <a href="https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/theadvocate.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/2/ae/2aed5752-7568-11eb-8871-4f0d6325ef45/6034426fa5d8a.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">religion of the white people as the “motivating factor” for the rise in white supremacist </a>sentiment, which in turn resulted in the “Capitol Insurrection.”

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Finley for comment, but he declined to respond prior to publication.

In 2018, Dr. Tao was <a href="https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article234237337.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">federally indicted</a> with seven counts of wire fraud and three counts of false statements/ program fraud. <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/university-kansas-researcher-indicted-fraud-failing-disclose-conflict-interest-chinese" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In the indictment</a>, it is listed that Dr. Tao signed a five-year contract with Fuzhou University in China as a distinguished professor. He was listed as a full-time employee. While fully employed by the Chinese university, Dr. Tao was also receiving two federal grants from the U.S. government for research he was in charge of at the University of Kansas.

It was alleged that he did not disclose his contract with Fuzhou University to the University of Kansas. It was also alleged that Dr. Tao was trying to recruit research students from the University of Kansas to work with Fuzhou University. KU requires all employees to disclose any conflicts of interest yearly, which Dr. Feng claimed he had none.

His attorney is arguing that his actions were not crimes, as withholding information is not fraud unless it is done to obtain money or property. Dr. Tao’s attorney filed a motion to dismiss all charges, stating that Dr. Tao never actually accepted a position at Fuzhou University. According to Dr. Tao’s attorney, there was never a signed contract.
As of Fall of 2021, Dr. Tao’s faculty profile is still up on the University of Kansas’ website. According to an article in The Washington Post, Dr. Tao was placed on paid leave during an investigation. It is unclear if he is still on paid leave or is back in the classroom.

<a href="https://socanth.olemiss.edu/james-thomas/">James M. Thomas</a> is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Mississippi.
According to his university biography, his efforts are concentrated around researching “race, racism, their histories, and contemporary practices.”
During the 2018 Senate confirmation hearings of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, James Thomas <a href="https://www.wlox.com/2018/10/18/put-fingers-their-salads-ole-miss-professor-urges-harassment-senators/">tweeted</a>,
“Don’t Interrupt a Senator’s meal, y’all. Put your whole damn finders in their salads. Take their apps and distribute them to other diners. Bring boxes and take their food home with you on the way out.  They don’t deserve your civility.” 
Thomas’s tweet came in response to a viral video of <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ted-cruz-heckled-by-radical-protesters-in-dc-restaurant-video">Senator Ted Cruz</a> and his wife being heckled out of a Virginia restaurant by aggressive protestors.
Following receiving tenure from Ole Miss, James proceeded to refer to conservative teens as akin to the Hitler Youth:
“MAGA teens are modern day Hitlerjugend. Got a uniform and everything.” 
“When I said MAGA teens are the modern day Hitlerjugend, I meant it. What we’re watching at this rally is the aesthetics of fascism.” 
Ironically enough, Thomas <a href="https://olemiss.edu/aboutum/standingcommittees/commdetail.php?id=10858662&amp;n=Acad.%20Freedom%20%26%20Faculty%20Responsibility">serves</a> on the Standing Committee for Academic Freedom and Faculty Responsibility, which is charged with determining if a professor’s or academic’s academic freedom was interfered with. Thomas’s tweets pose a serious question as to whether he can remain neutral on the committee when he is asked to hold hearings on other colleagues&#8217; work or dismissal from the University.

Squire <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180318080144/https://www.wired.com/story/free-speech-issue-antifa-data-mining/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">distributes her research to multiple ANTIFA organizations across the country</a>. Her connection to ANTIFA is documented in an article for Wired Magazine, titled Meet Antifa’s Secret Weapon Against Far-Right Extremism. Squire is “sympathetic” to ANTIFA’s goals and refuses to condemn the group’s violent tactics according to the article. Wired further states that Squire uses her connections with ANTIFA to send data to groups like Redneck Revolt.

Redneck Revolt describes itself as a “national network community defense organization” that focuses on “class liberation” according to the group’s <a href="https://www.redneckrevolt.org/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>. The organization states that it is  an “above-ground, militant organization” as an organizing principle and states openly that “we are not pacifists.”<img class="wp-image-1907 size-large aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-30T150704.380-e1638310062186-1024x381.png" alt="" width="580" height="216" />

Squire additionally <a href="https://www.radicalrightanalysis.com/carr-research-units/carrs-technology-research-unit-tru/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">provides her research to large technology companies in addition to ANTIFA groups </a>as the head of CARR’s Technological Research Unit. In her role, Squire documents how the radical right “exploits technology and online platforms”, according to the organization’s website. The site also describes Squire’s role as building relationships with stakeholders at social media companies in order to assist them with content moderation regarding far-right groups.

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&#8217;s campaign and the unexpected rise of Hitler in Germany.

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.

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.”
