<a href="https://www.grandviewcetl.org/cetl-staff/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Kevin Gannon</a> is a Professor at <a href="https://www.grandview.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grand View University</a> in Des Moines, Iowa. He additionally serves as the Director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching at the University.
In September of 2020, Dr. Gannon—along with University of Pennsylvania professor Dr. Anthea Butler—<a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?id=15566" target="_blank" rel="noopener">organized a general strike of university academics, lecturers, and professors in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement</a>.
According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–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>
In a letter posted on his personal Twitter account, Dr Gannon states the intent of the strike was to protest against what he characterized as <a href="https://twitter.com/TheTattooedProf/status/1298790551207251970" target="_blank" rel="noopener">our nation’s ongoing “racialized violence, racism, and white supremacy,</a>” The letter urges university staff to walk off of their jobs in order to engage in “anti-racism.”

In a joint statement posted on Academe Blog, both professors claimed <a href="https://academeblog.org/2020/09/02/scholar-strike/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">their summers were filled with stories of “those dying at the hands of police</a>.” They further claimed the “violence, murder, and racism” rendered them unable to complete their professorial duties.
As part of Dr. Gannon’s strike, professors were instructed to walk out of their jobs to highlight “racism, policing, and mass incarceration” and engage in some form of “antiracist” instruction instead. According to the publication Campus Reform, at least <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=15566" target="_blank" rel="noopener">800 professors across the country participated in the strike</a>.

Walker used a campus-wide campaign with fliers suggesting that if you’re white, heterosexual, able-bodied, Christian, or male, then you are privileged.

<a href="http://alignedleft.com/">Scott Murray</a> was an Associate Professor at the University of San Francisco. Murray was a part of a campus-wide campaign called “Check Your Privilege.” They handed out shirts and fliers that displayed different privilege-checking criteria. One flier said, "If you can expect time off from work to celebrate your religious holidays, you have Christian Privilege."

<a href="https://www.usfca.edu/faculty/sonja-poole">Dr. Sonja Poole</a> is an Associate Professor at the University of San Francisco. Poole, along with two other professors, created a “Check Your Privilege” campaign. The campaign involved passing out flyers with various ‘privileges’ such as being white, heterosexual, or Christian. One flyer said, “If you can comfortably walk down the street while holding your partner’s hand, you have the heterosexual privilege.”

Timothy Snediker

<a href="https://www.religion.ucsb.edu/people/student/timothy-snediker/">Timothy Snediker</a> works in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He first rose to notoriety for tweeting about his desire to assassinate Jesus Christ.
Snediker’s animosity towards Christ stems from his belief that the concepts of the individual and capitalism, both of which he opposes, arose out of Christianity during the enlightenment in Europe.
In the <a href="http://jcrt.org/religioustheory/2016/05/18/theodicy-of-money-the-scene-and-subject-of-forgiveness/">Theodicy of Money &#8211; The Scene of and Subject Forgiveness</a>, Snediker writes:
“Against the standard left critique of capitalism, which presupposes a certain secularism and a certain atheism, one must rather grapple with the peculiar verve of a comment made by Giorgio Agamben: “God did not die; he was transformed into money&#8230;To the identity of Christianity and capitalism corresponds the identity of God and money….Today, it is simply not enough to be an atheist, because, in the last instance, everyone believes in money.&#8221; 
As written in <a href="https://jcrt.org/archives/14.1/snediker.pdf">The Autonomy of the Now</a>, he further expands on his position:
“Our hypothesis is that, under the brutal conditions of global capitalist hegemony, resistance necessitates the affirmation of the intrinsic instability and artificiality of identity…”
“&#8230;resistance to power necessitates a two-fold refusal of the authority and sovereignty of both Christianity and Secularism…”
“Secularization is the strategic means by which the West (which is to say, Christendom, or European colonialism, or, simply, Christianity) effects its accumulations, its appropriations, and its dominations&#8230;..Christianity’s hegemony has not waned; it has metamorphosed and Metastasized.&#8221;
“Christianity is the identitarian religion par excellence: it ceaselessly works to individualize, legitimate and commoditize one’s identity&#8230;.this is how Christianity was constituted as a privileged instrument of power”
“Resistance to power necessitates, therefore, a restoration of the autonomy of the now, which in turn requires a two-fold counter-strategy: one the one hand, an acceptance of the instability of identity and the concurrent affirmation of our becoming-other; on the other hand, a refusal of power, which, in the era of global capitalism amounts to a critique of the secular, or, again, a critique of Christianity. “
&#8220;Our imperative is to join the struggle for subjectivity, to struggle to speak truthfully about ourselves, to discover that relation to the outside which allows us, in accordance with Nietzsche’s injunction, to become what we are—to become, in a word, anti-Christian.&#8221;
Snediker’s vitriol towards Christianity exploded when asked what he would do if he could travel 2000 years back in time, he <a href="https://twitter.com/realBenLeBlanc/status/1287809540373778434">tweeted</a>:
“Easy. I would find and assassinate Jesus of Nazareth.” 
He then proceeded to double-down, tweeting:
“Theologically speaking, it would be really important to get him before his calling and ministry begins, so that gives me roughly a decade to make it to Palestine, locate the man, and make my move. I don’t want to be the heroic Judas avant la lettre”

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

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

<a href="https://www.vanderbilt.edu/mhs/person/jonathan-m-metzl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Jonathan M. Metzl</a> is a Professor of Psychiatry, and Frederick B. Rentschler II Professor of Medicine, Health, and Society at <a href="https://www.vanderbilt.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vanderbilt University</a> in Nashville, Tennessee. He additionally serves as the Director of the University’s Department of Medicine, Health, and Society.
Dr. Metzl frequently writes about the intersection of race, class, and health with public policy. His main body of work is centered on his thesis that whites reject sound policy purely out of racial spite. He alleges that much of the dysfunction in conservative states is due to the adoption or rejection or policy based upon racial resentment.
His latest book—titled, “<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/its-time-to-talk-about-being-white-in-america/2019/04/29/20aed83a-6a9b-11e9-be3a-33217240a539_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America’s Heartland</a>”— alleges that much of what animated conservatives from the Tea-Party was the election of a black President—Barack Obama—in a move he describes as a, “white backlash.” He further states this was codified with the election of Donald Trump &#8211; of whom Dr. Metzl <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/its-time-to-talk-about-being-white-in-america/2019/04/29/20aed83a-6a9b-11e9-be3a-33217240a539_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describes as a skilled manipulator of “whiteness.”</a>
In an interview with the publication, VOX, Dr. Metzl alleges that <a href="https://www.vox.com/2019/3/19/18236247/dying-of-whiteness-trump-politics-jonathan-metzl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white anxiety to minorities causes them to reject policies to the detriment of their own health</a>. He specifically cites opposition to Obamacare, alleging that this cost GOP voters literal weeks off their lifespan.

<a href="https://www.vanderbilt.edu/mhs/person/jonathan-m-metzl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Jonathan M. Metzl</a> is a Professor of Psychiatry, and Frederick B. Rentschler II Professor of Medicine, Health, and Society at <a href="https://www.vanderbilt.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vanderbilt University</a> in Nashville, Tennessee. He additionally serves as the Director of the University’s Department of Medicine, Health, and Society.

Dr. Metzl frequently writes about the intersection of race, class, and health with public policy. His main body of work is centered on his thesis that whites reject sound policy purely out of racial spite. He alleges that much of the dysfunction in conservative states is due to the adoption or rejection or policy based upon racial resentment.

His latest book—titled, “<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/its-time-to-talk-about-being-white-in-america/2019/04/29/20aed83a-6a9b-11e9-be3a-33217240a539_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America’s Heartland</a>”— alleges that much of what animated conservatives from the Tea-Party was the election of a black President—Barack Obama—in a move he describes as a, “white backlash.” He further states this was codified with the election of Donald Trump - of whom Dr. Metzl <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/its-time-to-talk-about-being-white-in-america/2019/04/29/20aed83a-6a9b-11e9-be3a-33217240a539_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describes as a skilled manipulator of “whiteness.”</a>

In an interview with the publication, VOX, Dr. Metzl alleges that <a href="https://www.vox.com/2019/3/19/18236247/dying-of-whiteness-trump-politics-jonathan-metzl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white anxiety to minorities causes them to reject policies to the detriment of their own health</a>. He specifically cites opposition to Obamacare, alleging that this cost GOP voters literal weeks off their lifespan. When asked why white voters do not align with their economic counterparts in the minority community, Dr. Metzl responded that whites feel a “psychological benefit” and sense of prestige for obtaining whiteness, or privilege over minorities.

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

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

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

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

<a href="https://www.phil.uga.edu/directory/people/irami-osei-frimpong" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Irami Osei-Frimpong</a> is a Teaching Assistant at the University of Georgia. He’s called for the death of white people and claimed that racial violence is the only way to achieve social justice.
In a now-deleted Medium article, Irami announced <a href="https://archive.ph/TCbjw#selection-127.0-134.0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he was banned from Facebook</a> for stating that killing “some” white people isn’t genocide. The article is a repost of Irami’s original post, in which he defended a Texas A&amp;M professor—Tommy Curry—who called for killing white people:
“I guess I am going to post once more on Curry’s situation. We are too easy on white people. The Washington Examiner posted an article with the lead: “Curry called for white genocide, saying in a 2012 podcast ‘in order to be equal, in order to be liberated, some white people may have to die.“ <a href="https://archive.ph/o/TCbjw/www.washingtonexaminer.com/texas-am-wont-fire-professor-who-called-for-killing-white-people/article/2622810">http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/texas-am-wont-fire-professor-who-called-for-killing-white-people/article/2622810</a>
“First of all, killing some white people isn’t genocide; it’s killing some white people. We had to kill some white people to get out of slavery. Maybe if we’d killed more during the 20th century we still wouldn’t talk about racialized voter disenfranchisement and housing, education, and employment discrimination.”
Irami goes on to say he hopes the media will prepare white people “for the hit they are going to have to take” so that racial justice may be achieved without “killing too many of them.”
“If we want racial justice without having to kill them, then all of our educational and media institutions should be preparing white people for the hit they are going to have to take, so that we get racial justice without killing too many of them.”
Further posts on Twitter—many of which are still live—disparage white people as “autistic sociopaths” and claim they are “not people.”

<a href="https://people.coe.uga.edu/bettina-love/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bettina L. Love</a> is a Professor of Education at the <a href="https://www.uga.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Georgia</a>. A prominent critical race theorist, Dr. Love is responsible for the anti-racist curriculum that schools across the country use to teach students. Her work has been described as the <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/abolishing-america-biden-and-bettina-love/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“single most comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the ideology of the CRT movement in education.</a>”

<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 <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.

Dr. Love describes herself as an <a href="https://bettinalove.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abolitionist and anti-racist activist educator</a> who works to understand and critique “systemic and structural racism in education.”<a href="https://thefederalist.com/2021/08/12/meet-bettina-l-love-a-critical-race-theorist-coming-to-a-school-near-you/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> She further details her beliefs</a> in her book, “<a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/622408/we-want-to-do-more-than-survive-by-bettina-love/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">We Want to Do More Than Survive.</a>”

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2026 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2022-03-30T152022.966-e1648679086557-1024x353.png" alt="" width="580" height="200" />

Dr. Love is the founder of the Abolitionist Teaching Network (ATN) whose goal is to provide educators with the resources for abolitionist teaching, which Dr. Love characterizes <a href="https://www.sesp.northwestern.edu/news-center/news/2021/01/abolitionist-teaching-a-conversation-with-bettina-l-love.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as “calling out” fellow teachers who are racist, homophobic, or Islamophobic.”</a>

ATN’s own documents encourage abolitionist teachers to promote the “liberation” of people of color and “embody the spirit” of the Black Lives Matter movement.

<img class="size-full wp-image-2028 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screen-Shot-2022-03-30-at-3.32.03-PM-1.png" alt="" width="570" height="716" />

&nbsp;

The page is found in ATN’s “<a href="https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/8d4b8aa7-b12e-4df8-9836-081a29841523/downloads/ATN%20Guide%20to%20Racial%20and%20Restorative%20Justice%20in.pdf?ver=1639147237108" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Guide to Racial and Restorative Justice.</a>” Dr. Love’s organization distributes the document to school districts across the country as a resource for teachers. The resource instructs educators to demand the following from their school districts:

- Hire more black, brown, and indigenous teachers,

- Hire abolitionist teachers,

- Free anti-racist therapy for white educators,

- Reduce class sizes for the benefit of black, brown, and indigenous children,

- Remove any and all police officers from schools,

- Reparations for minority children,

- Teaching standards that promote “Black, Brown, and Indigenous liberation.”

The document further accuses schools of the “spirit murder” of minority studies via disciplinary practices. Dr. Love uses this phrase in a separate article <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210106043843/https://www.edweek.org/leadership/opinion-how-schools-are-spirit-murdering-black-and-brown-students/2019/05" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to accuse white educators of levying racist punishments to humiliate and “destroy” their students of color.</a>

The article appeared in EducationWeekly where Dr. Love contributes articles that are full of racial invectives and diatribes. One claims that <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211011180846/https://www.edweek.org/leadership/opinion-grit-is-in-our-dna-why-teaching-grit-is-inherently-anti-black/2019/02" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teaching students to work hard is racist.</a> Her article—<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210722025254/https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/opinion-dear-white-teachers-you-cant-love-your-black-students-if-you-dont-know-them/2019/03" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dear White Teachers: You Can’t Love Your Black Students If You Don’t Know them</a>—accuses white teachers of being incapable of teaching black students.

Dr. Love's work is promoted and incorporated into school districts across the country. <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/critical-race-theory-activist-education-department-connections" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Department of Education under the Biden administration once listed ATN and Dr. Love’s work as resources</a>. She was invited to address the Virginia Department of Education’s Equity Summit where she called to dismantle capitalism and systemic racism in schools.

Dr. Love was also invited to the San Diego Unified School District, where she <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/radicals-in-the-classroom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly told attendees that white teachers are responsible for the suffering of “dark children.”</a>  Slides presented during her lecture stated, “Whiteness reproduces poverty, failing schools, high unemployment, school closings, and trauma for people of color.”
The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Love for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

While arguing with the counter-protesters, Canin tripped over a bike rack; the college republicans began to laugh at him. An enraged Canin lunged at the laughing students and <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2017/02/08/college-republican-makes-citizen-arrest-fullerton-professor-assaults-student/">ripped</a> a protest sign out of the hands of College Republican, Bryce Ignalls.

In a statement regarding the assault, the University Chief Communications Officer, Jefferey Cook, <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/feb/9/eric-canin-cal-state-lecturer-accused-of-hitting-c/">condemned</a> Canin on Twitter stating, “#CSUF prizes and promotes free and open expression.

In a statement regarding the assault, the University Chief Communications Officer, Jefferey Cook, <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/feb/9/eric-canin-cal-state-lecturer-accused-of-hitting-c/">condemned</a> Canin on Twitter stating, “#CSUF prizes and promotes free and open expression. Any violent incident, however, cannot be tolerated and is unacceptable.” After an internal investigation led by the University of Fullerton <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/07/19/cal-state-fullerton-reinstates-lecturer-after-arbitrator-finds-no-evidence-most">determining</a> that Bryce was physically struck, Canin was terminated.

Canin appealed the decision, and Jan Stiglitz was <a href="https://dailytitan.com/news/campus/lecturer-eric-canin-to-return-to-csuf-following-investigation-into-misconduct/article_59b55b35-3dcc-5f9f-bce0-97cf4c678dd5.html">assigned</a> as a legal arbitrator to the dispute.

Stiglitz recommended that the University of Fullerton reinstate Canin with a 2-month suspension. Upon accepting her recommendation, Canin returned to the University where he still teaches today.

Dr. Timothy Schorn is a <a href="https://www.usd.edu/faculty-and-staff/Timothy-Schorn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Director of International Studies and Associate Professor</a> of Political Science at the University of South Dakota. His research and teaching interests include International Human Rights and Middle Eastern Politics. Dr. Schorn has been published in several research journals, such as Marine Corps Journal and Journal of Politics.
Dr. Schorn is openly pro-critical race theory in both the media and in his personal life. <a href="https://www.sdpb.org/blogs/kevinwoster/in-defense-of-critical-race-theory-what-it-is-and-what-it-isnt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In an article for South Dakota Public Broadcasting</a>, Dr. Schorn vehemently supports critical race theory in the classroom. According to Dr. Schorn, “you have to look at the institutionalization of slavery; you look at the laws and policies on voting requirements and moves to restrict voting access; you look at mandatory sentencing and which classes of people that affects the most — certainly poor, generally minority communities are affected more than the white middle class.”
Dr. Schorn goes on to say that he educates his students about critical race theory in all of his classrooms. He also states that critical race theory teaches that we created a legal system in the United States that is inherently racist, as it affects minorities more negatively than white Americans. Dr. Schorn also accuses America of being racist against minorities because of voting requirements and voting access restrictions.

&nbsp;
Censorship
As <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8518">reported</a> by Campus Reform, Chavez <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8518">taught </a>a course called, “America, the Frontier, and the New West.”  The course description <a href="https://classes.usc.edu/term-20163/classes/amst/">states</a> that the class is an “Introduction to an interdisciplinary study of American political, cultural and social life with a particular emphasis on the Western United States as a region.” According to USC’s course <a href="https://classes.usc.edu/term-20163/classes/amst/">description</a>, the course also qualifies the satisfaction of the core curriculum requirement for undergraduate students.

According to Campus Reform, Chavez sent an email to her class, via her teaching assistant Julia Chea, <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8518">ordering</a> students to refrain from using the term “illegal immigrant” on the course's final exam. The email reads as follows,

According to the Washington Examiner, Chea then <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/red-alert-politics/professor-bans-phrase-illegal-immigrant-threatens-students-exposed">discovered</a> that students who received her email were sharing it on their respective social media accounts. She then sent out an additional email to the students in her class that read as follows,

“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.”

In a <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8518">statement </a>given to Campus Reform, an unnamed student who shared the initial email called the decree “just one of the many instances of anticonservative bias” at USC and represents an “attack on intellectual freedom and free speech.”

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Chavez for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

<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.

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>.

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>.

<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.

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>

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.

During one of his online classes, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrOzY86YcEM&amp;ab_channel=BarryMehler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Mehler recorded himself cursing at the university administration and castigating his students as “vectors of disease.”</a>
The class itself was uploaded by Barry Mehler to his personal Youtube account. When the video begins, Dr. Mehler is seen wearing a face shield and face mask while recording in an empty room.
Dr. Mehler begins his lecture by warning that the air we breathe is dangerous, claiming that this is why “experts” continue to advise wearing masks at all times. Continuing, he states that our civilization is collapsing and that our species is going extinct.
After welcoming students to the class, Dr. Mehler launches into a profanity-laced polemic describing how he is “beholden to no c*ck-sucker” and no one in the university administration will tell him how to teach his class. He proceeds to describe his students as “vectors of disease” and states that he “no longer gives a flying f*ck,” as he is retiring at the end of the year.
Dr. Mehler further adds that students have no control over their grades in class—no matter how hard they work—admitting he assigns grades on the first day at random.
Toward the end of the lecture, Dr. Mehler berates his students, again referring to them as diseased. Beginning to yell, Dr. Mehler accuses his class of being “selfish kids” who “don’t give a sh*t” if grandpa lives or dies.” He urges students not to attend class as they risk infecting him and spreading COVID-19.
The full lecture—which has garnered upwards of half-a-million views as of publication—is available to view in full below:

Ms. <a href="https://www.etown.edu/offices/diversity/staff.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nichole Gonzalez</a> serves as the Dean of Students and Executive Director for the College for Diversity, Equity, and Belonging, as well as the Title IX Coordinator for <a href="https://www.etown.edu/index.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elizabethtown College</a> in Pennsylvania.
On September 23rd, 2021, Ms. Gonzalez and other Elizabethtown College administrators requested to meet with the college’s TPUSA chapter president—Alexander Russo—regarding an upcoming event on September 27th. The chapter was set to host TPUSA Ambassador, Mr. Joe Basrawi, who planned to speak about Critical Race Theory in academia.
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”.
In the meeting on the 23rd, Ms. Gonzalez informed Russo and other members present that the event would be canceled. Chapter members that have spoken with and provided corresponding emails to the Professor Watchlist Team have confirmed that Dr.Gonzalez canceled the event. She reportedly described Mr. Basrawi as “intentionally disruptive” and that his speech would be harmful to the campus due to the fact that he is not officially a “Critical Race Theorist.” Ms. Gonzalez stated that the college did not have time to put protections in place for marginalized groups and allowing the event to proceed would only further marginalize Elizabethtown’s minority students.
During the same meeting, Ms. Gonzalez allegedly pressured the chapter to disband and form a new group at the college. She stated that a conservative group aside from Turning Point USA would help facilitate a better community on campus.
As Mr. <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeBasrawi/status/1441401107809325063" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Basrawi has pointed out on Twitter</a>, Elizabethtown will be sponsoring a series of racially derogatory events during the fall semester, titled, the “Forum on White Supremacy and Global Colonization.” One training that will be <a href="https://etown.edu/centers/global/calendar.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hosted on October 12th, 21th, and November 2nd is titled, “Mediocre + Multimedia Content.*&#8221;</a>
Upon completion of the training, participants will receive a copy of the book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mediocre-Dangerous-Legacy-White-America/dp/1580059511" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America”.</a> The book endorses a “new white male identity” to counteract “the devastating consequences of white male supremacy on women, people of color, and white men themselves.” The training is described as a “space for people who identify as people of color,” and bars white people from attending.

When Russo highlighted the divisive nature of this and other events during the meeting, Ms. Gonzalez indicated her enthusiastic support for each one.
In a statement provided to the Professor Watchlist team, Mr. Baswari wrote, “It’s appalling to see that this is happening on American campuses these days. Gonzalez should be ashamed of herself being part of the problem of spreading tyranny on college campuses across the nation.”
In a separate statement provided to the Professor Watchlist team, Alexander Russo wrote, “I have been on this campus for almost 3 and a half years. Over the course of my education, the college has always supported freedom of thought and always strove to make sure everyone felt like they belong, no matter who they are. Now I am ashamed at the school I see before me that actively attempts to indoctrinate students and makes every attempt to divide us on race, COVID-19, and anything else they can.

Dr. Andrews alleges conservatives “cry CRT” any time an educator teaches something from America’s history that puts them in a “bad light,” even if it’s true. She goes on to insinuate that conservatives don’t want educators teaching black history at all.

Dr. Andrews has lectured all over the nation about critical race theory. In the video below from June 2021, she identifies as a critical race theorist:

In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOrgf3wTUbo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TED Talk given in 2014</a>, Dr. Andrews discussed racial inequity in the education system. She argues that the education system was founded in white supremacy,  making it nearly impossible for students of color to get ahead. She claims that students of color and poor students are already behind the curve before they even step foot into the classroom, and it’s unfair to expect the same levels of success for them compared to white students.

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

<a href="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.

Loomis recently authored his support for the murder of a Trump supporter in Portland, Oregon. <a href="https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2020/09/why-was-michael-reinoehl-killed">In a piece on a blog titled “Lawyers, Guns, and Money,”</a> Loomis seemed to be more distraught over ANTIFA member Michael Reinhol’s death following a shootout with police, rather than the death of the man he killed, Aaron Danielson. Reinoehl, who was wanted by police for killing Danielson during a Trump rally in Portland, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/suspect-in-portland-fatal-shooting-has-been-killed-reports">was killed</a> after drawing a gun on law enforcement agents serving a warrant for his arrest.

In his blog post, Loomis wondered whether or not the cops were working with “fascists” to murder Reinoehl.

&nbsp;

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 June of 2021, Dr. Walker <a href="https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520306363/a-long-dark-shadow">wrote a book titled</a>, A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity.

The book, which Dr. Walker describes as interview-based research, discusses non-offending pedophiles (or Minor-Attracted Persons, as Dr. Walker calls them). According to Dr. Walker, the book highlights people who are attracted to minors who don’t don’t commit violent crimes in order to challenge the “widespread assumption that those who are ‘preferentially attracted to minors’ are always predators and sex offenders.” The book details how those who don’t commit violent crimes against children navigate their feelings and attraction to minors.

On November 11, 2021<a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1458985538334068740?s=21" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> a series of videos on Twitter of Dr. Walker came to light</a>. In these videos, Dr. Walker tries to normalize the term “Minor-Attracted Person” (MAP) and destigmatize pedophilia. In the video, Dr. Walker claims that it is important to call a group by a name in which they want to be called. Dr. Walker states that groups are advocating for MAP as their name because it’s less stigmatized than the term pedophile, and they are doing nothing wrong if they aren’t committing violent crimes against children. Dr. Walker goes on to say that who a person is attracted to (in this case children) isn’t indicative of the morality of that person or that attraction. The video series can be viewed below:

Dr. Walker goes on to say that who a person is attracted to (in this case children) isn’t indicative of the morality of that person or that attraction. The video series can be viewed below:

After the video received a significant amount of backlash, <a href="https://www.wtkr.com/news/odu-releases-statement-after-assistant-professor-gives-controversial-interview-defending-people-attracted-to-children">Old Dominion University—Dr. Walker’s employer at the time—released a statement</a>, asserting that, as an academic community, it’s vital to be “willing to consider scientific and other empirical data that may involve controversial issues and perspectives.” They went on to claim that they don’t endorse or promote any crimes against children or any form of criminal activity.

Old Dominion University would later announce that Dr. Allyn Walker would <a href="https://www.odu.edu/news/2021/11/a_statement_from_old_dominion_university#.Yn343qjMI2w">resign at the expiration of his contract</a> in May 2022.

Dr. <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/people/core-faculty/jennifer-ho">Jennifer Ho</a> is a Professor of Asian American Studies and Director of the Center for Humanities &amp; the Arts at the University of Colorado-Boulder. According to her university <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/people/core-faculty/jennifer-ho">biography</a>, Professor Ho’s research interests include cultural studies, intersectionality, critical race studies, anti-racist theory, and critical mixed race studies.
Critical Theory, or Critical Race Theory, is an intellectual branch of Marxism that alleges American society and all of its founding institutions are infected with white supremacy. Furthermore, proponents of Critical Race Theory believe that people should take proactive steps to dismantle these institutions in the name of equity, which is also referred to as being “anti-racist.” Some Critical Race Theorists, such as Nikole Hannah-Jones, also <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/">claim</a> that America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England.
In an <a href="https://theconversation.com/white-supremacy-is-the-root-of-all-race-related-violence-in-the-us-157566">article</a> for The Conversation, titled, “White Supremacy is the Root of all race-related violence in the US,” Professor Ho alleges that all hate crimes committed in the United States are the result of white supremacy. The article is her response to the March 16th, 2021 <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/3-dead-shooting-georgia-massage-parlor-suspect-loose-n1261262">mass shooting</a> of massage parlors in Atlanta, George, that killed eight people, six of them being Asian-Americans.
Professor Ho attributes not just the March 2021 Atlanta shootings to white supremacy, but she actually attributes all hate crimes to white supremacy, regardless of whether or not they were committed by a white person. In the same <a href="https://theconversation.com/white-supremacy-is-the-root-of-all-race-related-violence-in-the-us-157566">article</a>, Professor Ho lists a series of anti-Asian hate crimes perpetrated by black men before stating that white supremacy is the cause for all of them.

Professor Ho further <a href="https://theconversation.com/white-supremacy-is-the-root-of-all-race-related-violence-in-the-us-157566">describes</a> white supremacy as an ideology “ingrained” into American institutions and the driving force behind the dehumanizing of Asian-Americans as well Black Americans.
The University of Colorado-Boulder features Professor Ho’s work on the College of Arts and Science’s website, in a <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/asmagazine/2020/04/08/anti-asian-racism-and-covid-19">web page</a> titled, “Anti-Asian Racism and Covid-19”. In addition to claiming that “millions” of unarmed black men have been killed by police, Professor Ho also alleges that it is also racist to state that COVID-19 originated in China.

<a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/people/core-faculty/reiland-rabaka" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Reiland Rabaka</a> is a Professor of Africana Studies as well as Critical Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality Studies in the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Ethnic Studies</a> at the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Colorado at Boulder</a>. He also serves as <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/humanities/reiland-rabaka" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of Humanities</a> in the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/artsandsciences/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">College of Arts and Sciences</a>.
Dr. Rabaka identifies publicly as a “democratic socialist” and a scholar of fields such as “black radical politics,” decolonial theory, and critical race theory. His lectures depict the United States as an inherently white-supremacist nation and herald the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as a necessary counter to systematic racism.
In a video sponsored by the university, Dr. Rabaka describes American society as having <a href="https://www.coursera.org/lecture/antiracism-2/dr-reiland-rabaka-interventions-in-racist-terminologies-qp12a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">culminated in the “social, economic, spiritual, and cultural” death of black people</a>. He attributes this to our nation&#8217;s alleged addiction to “black death.”
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video">
<video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-1" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-America-is-addicted-to-Black-Death.mp4?_=1" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-America-is-addicted-to-Black-Death.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-America-is-addicted-to-Black-Death.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
He repeated this accusation during a lecture for Florida Gulf Coast University’s <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/ccres/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Critical Race and Ethnic Studies</a>. During the event—hosted by professor and the Center Director, <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/directory/tthornhill">Dr. Ted Thornill</a>—Dr. Rabaka <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsS6RAfiesI&amp;ab_channel=FGCUUniversityMarketingCommunications" target="_blank" rel="noopener">characterizes the nation as a “colonial project” that was built on racial and economic enslavement</a>.
To learn more about Dr. Thornhill, readers can view his <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/tedthornhill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profile on TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist</a>.
Dr. Rabaka addresses BLM at length during the Q&amp;A section, characterizing the movement as a response to the nation’s “deeply entrenched racism.” At one point, a member of the audience asks Dr. Rabaka how he would respond if BLM was characterized as a terrorist organization; Rather than answer the question, he proceeds to deflect and counter that Christopher Columbus should be considered a terrorist for committing a “holocaust” against Native Americans. He denounces both the Founding Fathers and Pilgrims in his tirade, accusing each of participating in “racial terrorism.”
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-2" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-the-Pilgrims-are-terrorists.mp4?_=2" /><a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-the-Pilgrims-are-terrorists.mp4">https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-the-Pilgrims-are-terrorists.mp4</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
Continuing, he urges “white administrators” to invest in BLM-themed curriculums and workshops in order to raise consciousness about the movement. Dr. Rabaka <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/asmagazine/2021/03/02/black-lives-matter-course-aims-foster-campus-transformation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personally teaches a BLM-themed course at UC-Boulder</a>.
BLM was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the acquittal of George Zimmerman for his murder. Although purporting to be a civil-rights organization, the movement has been tied to violent confrontations and riots across the country.
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>
Throughout his lecture, Dr. Rabaka praises Angela Davis and Assata Shakur, whose work he considers instrumental to the BLM movement. Shakur is a former <a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/black-lives-matter-praising-terrorist-assata-shakur/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">member of the Black Liberation Army and convicted cop killer</a>. She currently resides in Cuba as a guest of the communist government; authorities have offered 2 million dollars for her capture.
Angela Davis is a former vice-presidential candidate for the Communist Party and early member of the Black Panther Party. Davis is notoriously known for <a href="https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/hollywoods-undying-love-communist-angela-davis-arnold-ahlert/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">her role in the Marin County Civic Center Attack, which left 4 dead</a>.
To learn more about Angela Davis, users can view her <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angeladavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profile on TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist</a>.
Another individual Dr. Rabaka praises in his lecture is scholar W.E.B Du Bois. A prominent author at the turn of the 20th century, Du Bois was a life-long adherent to communism, going <a href="https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/biographies/1953/03/16.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">so far as to eulogize Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin after his death in 1953</a>.
In a separate lecture at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Reiland+Rabaka+" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Rabaka lauds Du Bois specifically for his contributions to socialism</a>. At one point, the professor displays pictures of Du Bois meeting with Nikita Khrushchev and Mao Zedong, hailing both as proof of Du Bois international standing.

<a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/people/core-faculty/reiland-rabaka" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Reiland Rabaka</a> is a Professor of Africana Studies as well as Critical Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality Studies in the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Ethnic Studies</a> at the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Colorado at Boulder</a>. He also serves as <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/humanities/reiland-rabaka" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of Humanities</a> in the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/artsandsciences/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">College of Arts and Sciences</a>.

Dr. Rabaka identifies publicly as a “democratic socialist” and a scholar of fields such as “black radical politics,” decolonial theory, and critical race theory. His lectures depict the United States as an inherently white-supremacist nation and herald the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as a necessary counter to systematic racism.

In a video sponsored by the university, Dr. Rabaka describes American society as having <a href="https://www.coursera.org/lecture/antiracism-2/dr-reiland-rabaka-interventions-in-racist-terminologies-qp12a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">culminated in the “social, economic, spiritual, and cultural” death of black people</a>. He attributes this to our nation's alleged addiction to “black death.”

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-America-is-addicted-to-Black-Death.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

He repeated this accusation during a lecture for Florida Gulf Coast University’s <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/ccres/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Critical Race and Ethnic Studies</a>. During the event—hosted by professor and the Center Director, <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/directory/tthornhill">Dr. Ted Thornill</a>—Dr. Rabaka <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsS6RAfiesI&amp;ab_channel=FGCUUniversityMarketingCommunications" target="_blank" rel="noopener">characterizes the nation as a “colonial project” that was built on racial and economic enslavement</a>.

Dr. Rabaka addresses BLM at length during the Q&amp;A section, characterizing the movement as a response to the nation’s “deeply entrenched racism.” At one point, a member of the audience asks Dr. Rabaka how he would respond if BLM was characterized as a terrorist organization; Rather than answer the question, he proceeds to deflect and counter that Christopher Columbus should be considered a terrorist for committing a “holocaust” against Native Americans. He denounces both the Founding Fathers and Pilgrims in his tirade, accusing each of participating in “racial terrorism.”

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-the-Pilgrims-are-terrorists.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Continuing, he urges “white administrators” to invest in BLM-themed curriculums and workshops in order to raise consciousness about the movement. Dr. Rabaka <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/asmagazine/2021/03/02/black-lives-matter-course-aims-foster-campus-transformation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personally teaches a BLM-themed course at UC-Boulder</a>.

BLM was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the acquittal of George Zimmerman for his murder. Although purporting to be a civil-rights organization, the movement has been tied to violent confrontations and riots across the country.

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>

Throughout his lecture, Dr. Rabaka praises Angela Davis and Assata Shakur, whose work he considers instrumental to the BLM movement. Shakur is a former <a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/black-lives-matter-praising-terrorist-assata-shakur/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">member of the Black Liberation Army and convicted cop killer</a>. She currently resides in Cuba as a guest of the communist government; authorities have offered 2 million dollars for her capture.

Angela Davis is a former vice-presidential candidate for the Communist Party and early member of the Black Panther Party. Davis is notoriously known for <a href="https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/hollywoods-undying-love-communist-angela-davis-arnold-ahlert/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">her role in the Marin County Civic Center Attack, which left 4 dead</a>.

To learn more about Angela Davis, users can view her <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angeladavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profile on TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist</a>.

Another individual Dr. Rabaka praises in his lecture is scholar W.E.B Du Bois. A prominent author at the turn of the 20th century, Du Bois was a life-long adherent to communism, going <a href="https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/biographies/1953/03/16.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">so far as to eulogize Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin after his death in 1953</a>.

In a separate lecture at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Reiland+Rabaka+" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Rabaka lauds Du Bois specifically for his contributions to socialism</a>. At one point, the professor displays pictures of Du Bois meeting with Nikita Khrushchev and Mao Zedong, hailing both as proof of Du Bois international standing.

<a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Mao-Zedong">Mao</a>—who chaired the Chinese Communist Party from 1935 until his death in 1976—is widely considered one of the deadliest heads of state in history–<a href="https://www.heritage.org/asia/commentary/the-legacy-mao-zedong-mass-murder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an estimated 65 million Chinese perished from his regime</a>.

<a href="https://www.uwb.edu/education/faculty-staff/wayneau" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Wayne Au</a> is a Professor in the <a href="https://www.uwb.edu/education" target="_blank" rel="noopener">School of Educational Studies</a> at the <a href="https://www.uwb.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Washington-Bothell</a>. His role exerts direct influence over future teachers and educators that graduate from the program. According to his University bio, Dr. Au’s courses and scholarship is centered around, “educational policy studies, critical education theory, and teaching for social justice.” His professional duties further showcase his commitment to insert social justice and left-wing topics into curriculums that are used in classrooms across the country.
Dr. Au is currently listed as an educator and board member for Rethinking Schools. The organization is dedicated to <a href="https://rethinkingschools.org/about-rethinking-schools/our-history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promoting “equity and racial justice” in classrooms and strengthening education through “social justice activism.”</a> It was founded in 1986 after a group of activists deemed educational curriculums “too conservative” and racially biased. The organization is a staunch opponent of school choice, and they openly boast of, “sounding the alarm on private/charter school vouchers.”
Rethinking Schools’ <a href="https://rethinkingschools.org/books/a-peoples-history-for-the-classroom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most well-known initiative is “The Zinn Education Project.</a>” Through free History lessons, classroom exercises, and publicly available teaching manuals, the project <a href="https://www.zinnedproject.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seeks to provide an alternative, left-leaning approach to education for teachers to provide to students</a>.
Howard Zinn was a left-leaning historian and author who was <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/html/fbi-history-howard-zinn-10752.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspected of belonging to a number of Communist and Soviet-front groups during the 1950s</a>. His most recognized work, “<a href="https://www.zinnedproject.org/materials/peoples-history-of-the-united-states" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A People’s History of the United States</a>,” has sold millions of copies and is a frequently assigned reading in college classrooms. The book—which depicts America as a society founded on slavery and genocide and the aftermath of both reverberating to the present day—<a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/02/08/debunking-left-wing-historian-howard-zinn-is-like-shooting-fish-in-a-barrel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has been lambasted for its slanted and inaccurate portrayal of American society</a>.
The Howard Zinn Project grounds its activist approach to history and teaching on Howard Zinn’s work, specifically “A People’s History of the United States.” The website for the project <a href="https://www.zinnedproject.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boasts a network of 130,000 teachers and a growth of 10,000 new teachers</a> per year.
Dr. Au creates, writes, and helps distribute materials and lesson plans to teachers on behalf of the Zinn Education Project. Many of these resources direct teachers to introduce far-left topics and racially-laden curriculum into the classroom. Several documents produced by Dr. Au include lesson plans that <a href="https://www.zinnedproject.org/materials/black-panthers-ten-point-program/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">extol the Marxist Black Panther Party</a>, manuals on educating students about “<a href="https://www.zinnedproject.org/materials/teachers-vs-climate-change-teachers-work-for-climate-justice-portland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">climate justice,”</a> and teaching “<a href="https://www.zinnedproject.org/materials/rethinking-multicultural-education/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racial and cultural justice</a>.”
A paper co-edited by Dr. Au is titled, “<a href="https://www.zinnedproject.org/materials/teaching-black-lives/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Teaching for Black Lives</a>.” The document is over 300 pages long and consists of lesson plans on the Black Lives Matter movement, Black Liberation, and “teaching blackness.” According to a summary listed on the official site, the guide is to be used for educators to make their classrooms sites of “resistance” to “white supremacy and anti-blackness.”
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.

Dr. Au is the author of a separate book titled, “<a href="https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1153-a-marxist-education" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Marxist Education.</a>” In it, he states his intention to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=10969" target="_blank" rel="noopener">assist teachers in resisting “capitalism” and the “patriarchy” in their respective classrooms</a>.
In an interview for The Progressive about the book, Dr. Au <a href="https://progressive.org/latest/deeper-critical-consciousness-in-education-Wayne-Au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">urges teachers to be “anti-racist” and urges them to use their positions to fight “settler colonialism.</a>”

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

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

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

<a href="https://www.adl.org/blog/how-the-ok-symbol-became-a-popular-trolling-gesture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Even the left-leaning Anti-Defamation League has declared the campaign a “hoax.</a>” Despite being widely regarded as fake, Dr. Kohen still maintains that anyone who flashes the sign is a “white nationalist.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
After he was contacted by various media outlets over his comments, Dr. Kohen only proceeded to double down on his accusations. In a series of tweets, he accuses TPUSA and Breitbart News of “weaponizing the internet” over his remarks and again falsely accuses the students of flashing a “white power” sign.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
In an hour or two, I’m going to be attacked by a right-wing mob. It’s source will be Turning Point USA and Breitbart. If you’re interested in seeing how these folks weaponize the internet against college professors, here’s some information:

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> 
In the past, Dr. Kohen has repeatedly accused conservatives of harboring white nationalist sentiments and of supporting fascism. In a 2019 post on his personal blog, <a href="https://kohenari.net/post/181589676770#notes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he refers to conservative supporters of President Donald Trump as a “cancer.”</a>

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

He again insinuates that anyone voting for Donald Trump is a white nationalist in a tweet just before the 2020 general election.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
In November, white nationalism is on the ballot. You can vote for it or you can vote against it. I’m going to spend the next 5 months reminding you, every time Trump winks at his Nazi supporters like he did today and the Nebraska Republicans have nothing negative to say about it.

If you're a well-known white nationalist, and you do this 👌in a photo, then I think it's a pretty clear sign of your white nationalism.
— Ari Kohen (@kohenari) <a href="https://twitter.com/kohenari/status/858401353080733697?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">April 29, 2017</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

After he was contacted by various media outlets over his comments, Dr. Kohen only proceeded to double down on his accusations. In a series of tweets, he accuses TPUSA and Breitbart News of “weaponizing the internet” over his remarks and again falsely accuses the students of flashing a “white power” sign.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
In an hour or two, I’m going to be attacked by a right-wing mob. It’s source will be Turning Point USA and Breitbart. If you’re interested in seeing how these folks weaponize the internet against college professors, here’s some information:

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In the past, Dr. Kohen has repeatedly accused conservatives of harboring white nationalist sentiments and of supporting fascism. In a 2019 post on his personal blog, <a href="https://kohenari.net/post/181589676770#notes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he refers to conservative supporters of President Donald Trump as a “cancer.”</a>

<img class="size-large wp-image-1820 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-18T164917.831-e1637279374636-1024x325.png" alt="" width="580" height="184" />

In the same post, he furthers describes the same conservatives as “proto-fascists”:

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1821" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-18T165040.644-e1637279509781-1024x504.png" alt="" width="500" height="246" />

He again insinuates that anyone voting for Donald Trump is a white nationalist in a tweet just before the 2020 general election.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
In November, white nationalism is on the ballot. You can vote for it or you can vote against it. I’m going to spend the next 5 months reminding you, every time Trump winks at his Nazi supporters like he did today and the Nebraska Republicans have nothing negative to say about it.
— Ari Kohen (@kohenari) <a href="https://twitter.com/kohenari/status/1263644387394891776?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May 22, 2020</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In a separate tweet, Dr. Kohen expressed his disbelief that conservatives would consider a university campus hostile to their political views.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Turns out you shouldn’t believe the hype from right-wing state senators about the University of Nebraska. Conservative students feel just fine here, according to a Gallup poll we had to commission when higher education got politicized here last year: <a href="https://t.co/UWvwAK6LI1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/UWvwAK6LI1</a>

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. “

In a recording obtained by a confidential source, a distraught Mairs can be heard telling students that conservative senators will have to answer for their actions for having objected to the presidential election results of 2020, and that Black Lives Matter (BLM) rioters are actually peaceful.
The day after the riots on Capitol Hill, Mairs takes time out of her class to address the events of January 6th, 2021. In the audio, Mairs can be heard accusing Senator Ted Cruz and “a couple other people” of lying to the American people by <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2021/politics/congress-electoral-college-count-tracker/">objecting to the results</a> of the 2020 election, and “sticking with this charade” that election integrity was compromised.
Under the Electoral Count Act of 1887, members of Congress may <a href="https://history.house.gov/Blog/2020/November/11-17-Faithless-Electors/">object</a> to the certification of the Electoral College votes. Following the victory of George W. Bush in the 2004 Presidential election, Ohio Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones and California Senator Barbara Boxer <a href="https://www.cleveland.com/open/2020/12/ohios-stephanie-tubbs-jones-lodged-the-nations-last-electoral-vote-protest-in-congress.html">challenged</a> the certification of the electoral count for Ohio. In 2017, eleven separate Democrats objected to the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2017/01/06/politics/electoral-college-vote-count-objections/index.html">certification</a> of the votes for President Donald Trump. Both the 2004 and 2017 objections were ultimately unsuccessful, and the respective votes were officially certified.
After pausing to allow students to ask questions, Mairs continues by addressing the students that think she is “left-wing,” explaining that she watched 8 different news channels during the riot to ensure that she wasn’t receiving biased information. These stations include: Fox and MSNBC (both of whom she describes as radical), CNN, USA Today, Politico, Reuters, PBS, ABC News.  Mairs tells her students to ‘turn off’ the T.V. if their news sources are not describing the riots as an insurrection the way she does.
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-1195 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-19T123431.818-e1616182491909-1024x350.png" alt="" width="580" height="198" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-19T123431.818-e1616182491909-1024x350.png 1024w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-19T123431.818-e1616182491909-300x103.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-19T123431.818-e1616182491909-768x263.png 768w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-19T123431.818-e1616182491909-1200x410.png 1200w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-03-19T123431.818-e1616182491909.png 1299w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" />
Mairs states that if “even Fox News describes what happened yesterday as an insurrection” then, “I don’t know what more you need to hear.” Robin warns her students about listening to “radicalized news sources.”
Mairs then juxtaposes the capitol rioters and Black Lives Matter (BLM). She says that BLM is “93% peaceful” before contrasting the heavy police presence at BLM rallies, and the lax response of law enforcement towards the rioters on Capitol Hill.

BLM has been <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/">implicated in a number of riots</a> around the country following the death of George Floyd. A report by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project stated that 95% of riots over the summer of 2020 were linked to BLM activism or had BLM activists present. The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion.">causing an estimated $2 Billion in damages</a> and 47 deaths. In an incident in August of 2020, BLM activists <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/28/rand-paul-assaulted-by-black-lives-matter-protesters-after-rnc/">attacked</a> Senator Rand Paul and his wife while walking back to their hotel in Washington D.C.
Mairs asks her students to pause and reflect upon how this nation could be so “broken,” and wonders about what has changed over the past four years for the nation to be this divided. She then urges her students to give President Joe Biden a chance.
Mair&#8217;s comments can be listened to below:

Bush in the 2004 Presidential election, Ohio Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones and California Senator Barbara Boxer <a href="https://www.cleveland.com/open/2020/12/ohios-stephanie-tubbs-jones-lodged-the-nations-last-electoral-vote-protest-in-congress.html">challenged</a> the certification of the electoral count for Ohio. In 2017, eleven separate Democrats objected to the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2017/01/06/politics/electoral-college-vote-count-objections/index.html">certification</a> of the votes for President Donald Trump. Both the 2004 and 2017 objections were ultimately unsuccessful, and the respective votes were officially certified.

After pausing to allow students to ask questions, Mairs continues by addressing the students that think she is “left-wing,” explaining that she watched 8 different news channels during the riot to ensure that she wasn’t receiving biased information. These stations include: Fox and MSNBC (both of whom she describes as radical), CNN, USA Today, Politico, Reuters, PBS, ABC News.  Mairs tells her students to ‘turn off’ the T.V. if their news sources are not describing the riots as an insurrection the way she does.

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

BLM has been <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/">implicated in a number of riots</a> around the country following the death of George Floyd. A report by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project stated that 95% of riots over the summer of 2020 were linked to BLM activism or had BLM activists present. The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion.">causing an estimated $2 Billion in damages</a> and 47 deaths. In an incident in August of 2020, BLM activists <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/28/rand-paul-assaulted-by-black-lives-matter-protesters-after-rnc/">attacked</a> Senator Rand Paul and his wife while walking back to their hotel in Washington D.C.

Mairs asks her students to pause and reflect upon how this nation could be so “broken,” and wonders about what has changed over the past four years for the nation to be this divided. She then urges her students to give President Joe Biden a chance.

During a district-wide summit, Mrs. Watkins threatened to fire teachers who refuse to adopt “antiracist” teaching methods.

The term “antiracist” is a phrase frequently used by Critical Race Theorists. Critical Theory, or Critical Race Theory, is an <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/">intellectual branch of Marxism that alleges American society and all of its founding institutions are infected with and perpetuate white supremacy</a>. Furthermore, proponents of Critical Race Theory believe that people should take proactive steps to dismantle these institutions in the name of equity, which is also referred to as being “anti-racist.” Some Critical Race Theorists, such as Nikole Hannah-Jones,<a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/"> claim</a> that America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave arrived in North America, rather than 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from Britain.
In a Zoom meeting captured by Parents Defending Education (PDE), Mrs. Watkins <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_PIlGgJSXI&amp;t=2s&amp;ab_channel=ParentsDefendingEducation">warned that other teachers</a> present on the call will become obsolete in their respective jobs if they do not become antiracist educators.
“I’m going to something that is not nice and not sweet, but it’s true. If you’re not evolving into an antiracist educator, you’re making yourself obsolete in this field of profession. Our district is only getting browner and browner with our children. Obviously, you can’t change your melanin, alright, but you can change your mind so that you can actually function in a district that is full of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) children.”
Mrs. Watkins suggests that teachers who do not become antiracists must be fired for causing “trauma” to their students.
“So if you’re being resistant, I understand that, but eventually you’re going to have to come to the light. Because if you’re going to come with those old views of colonialism, it&#8217;s going to lead to being fired, because you’re going to be doing damage to our children—trauma.”
Mrs. Watkins even compares teachers who refuse to adopt her prescribed tactics to sexual predators.
“So, as we fire the teachers who sexually abuse our children, we will be firing the teachers who do racist things to our children and traumatize them. And, while our district might not be completely on there, OEA (Oregon Educators Association) is working on it, alright? NEA (National Education Association) It’s just a matter of time, You either evolve or dissolve.”
Mrs. Watkins made these remarks at the Beaverton School District’s Equity ABAR Summit. ABAR stands for “anti-bias, anti-racism.” In the slides acquired by PDE, summit organizers seek to train Beaverton teachers to “<a href="https://defendinged.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Beavertonpresentation.pdf">unearth issues of racism, decentering whiteness in the classroom, decolonizing academic curriculum, exploring intersectionalities, and disrupting deficit thinking narratives</a>.” Sessions include “Going Beneath Your Whiteness,” “Ableism 101,” “Demystifying Black Lives Matter at School,” and, “How to Support DACAmented &amp; Undocumented Students.”

In a statement provided to Newsweek, the School District is <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/twitter-outraged-over-teacher-telling-educators-embrace-anti-racist-thinking-fired-1596012">continuing to stand by both Mrs. Watkins and the summit</a>:
“In the comments, we hear Ms. Watkins expressing her expectation that all our educators authentically engage in anti-bias, antiracist work for the benefit of our students. The Beaverton School District serves a diverse population of students. More than half of our students identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color. Our goal as educators is to make sure that every child, staff member, and community member in our district feels welcomed, supported, and encouraged. As part of that commitment, we&#8217;re engaged in ongoing and critically important equity work which includes providing professional development to our staff.”
