A Look at Professor Watchlist

I apologize for not posting for the last forever, but I got bored and I decided to look at back at some old articles(as in like a year) and that led me to reading about Turning Point USA, which led to me to Professor Watchlist, and look into their "featured" professors.

So without much more, let me look into each of the professors on their page as of 3-29-2017, 8:42 PM, PST.

So lets just provide what they say they are for, "Welcome to Professor Watchlist, a project of Turning Point USA.

This watchlist is an aggregated list of pre-existing news stories that were published by a variety of news organizations. While we accept tips for new additions on our website, we only publish profiles on incidents that have already been reported by a credible source.

TPUSA will continue to fight for free speech and the right for​​ professors to say whatever they wish​;​ however students, parents, and alumni deserve to know the specific incidents and names of professors that advance a radical agenda in lecture halls." - Front Page, as of aforementioned time.

John Wiens

Entry : John Wiens is a professor at the University of Arizona. A scholar of extinction and evolutionary biology, Wiens joked that Donald Trump should kill himself over his climate and environmental policies.

My Response :  He joked that Donald Trump, should kill himself. And this is after he was asked what he would say to DJT if he met him, due to DJT's denial of scientific fact and the implications his refusal to take action on this issue could have on the future. Now I don't condone DJT killing himself, but is jokingly saying it somehow showing you pushing some kind of radical agenda, it's really noot.

Oh and I like how a professor of extinction and evolutionairy biology saying DJT should kill himself, is some kind of scandal. Because you know, his views on DJT are really going to influence him teaching students, about how life evolved and how dna and shit works. But, it's hacky, to mention that Jeff Sessions made a joke about how he liked the KKK until he found out some of them smoked weed. I personally, don't give a fuck about it since, it's a joke and he probably doesn't actually mean it, but if we just consider jokes and actual views into people's ideology, then why the hell is he the attorney general, you know the person who's supposed to crackdown on shit like hate-crimes, well I guess he will cuz you know good people don't smoke marujuana. I would go on with critizing Sessions, but I kind of want to finish this.

Danielle Allen

Entry : Allen, a professor at Harvard, said that the rise of Donald Trump is just like the rise of Hitler, in perhaps the least original academia arguments.  Her argument echoes that of many professors on this list, who resort to Hitler references when they lack a cogent argument.

My Response : Literally, in the first section of her oped or whatever they linked to in the Washington Post,she states that she "Leave aside whether a direct comparison of Trump to Hitler is accurate. That is not my point. My point rather is about how a demagogic opportunist can exploit a divided country". And while, the rest of the article does kind of have an anti-Trump message, and by that I mean it legit, has a really large anti-Trump message. It's not some kind of radical agenda, American's of both parties need to come together when common interest/desire emerges. I know radical! How radical, work with people in other parties if you agree with them, yup this is one nasty profesora.

Kelly Train

Entry : Train is a sociology instructor at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada. When a student wanted to write a paper discussing the problems with the wage gap, Train said she could not challenge the wage gap. Even worse, this is not an isolated incident; Train's essay instructions prohibited using government data, newspaper articles, or business sources (they are part of the patriarchy according to Train). Instead, "feminist sources" are to be utilized.

My Response : Well at first glance of thier description, I get why they put her up their you know, her banning a student from challenging something and using only "feminist sources". However upon further reading of the articles provided, the source for the "email" correspondence reaches the twitter page of an anti-pc/feminism youtuber as the primary source. Hmmm, I wonder if there's something fishy about an anti-pc/feminism personality just happening to have a twin-sister who happened to have this kind of bigoted teacher. I don't think a snapshot of the email is enough to certify whether it's legitimate or not in my opinion, we simply don't know whether that's an actual email from her or staged.

Ok now let me look at the material the teacher supposedly provided, thanks to the Daily Caller article, we have a little note or rubric or whatever the fuck you call it, the thing with all the requirements and tips and shit. Well, she states that thinks like Newspaper articles an encyclopedia references don't count as scholarly sources, well no fucking shit, wow it turns out that scholarly sources have to be from scholars. She wanted scholarly sources and 5 of them, and said that non-scholarly sources don't count as scholarly sources. WOW! Here I was thinking that my dog counted as a cat, I'm #Triggered.

Eric Canin

Entry : Canin, an adjunct at Cal-State Fullerton assaulted a member of College Republicans during two protests on campus; one organized by Students for Justice in Palestine and a counter-protest by College Republicans. According to The Daily Titan, "“(Canin) came up, tried to grab (my) sign and pushed our way … Then he went after (Ingalls) and started swinging at him,".

My Response : Ok, well the link isn't working for me, however if they are right about him trying to grab 'em by the sign, and swing at people, then yeah fuck him. Freedom of speech goes both ways, and as long as they aren't attacking you, you have no right to grab their shit or punch them.

Areej Zufari

Entry : Zufari, a professor at Rollins College, successfully lobbied to have a Christian student suspended for challenging the professor on Christianity and Islam. Zufari claimed that the crucifixion of Jesus was not true, which lead to a student, Marshall Polston, to challenge the student. Zufari, however, had no problem with a student that said gays and adulterers should rightly be punished in accordance with Sharia law.

My Response : My opinion on this is kind of split, mostly however pissed that the student in question was suspended for what appears based on what I know to be a disagreement w/ the professor. However, at the same time I think private universities have the right to get rid of student's they don't want in their universities. And at the same time, the entry is mainly focused on how Zufri claimed that the crucifixion of Jesus is not real, but that she was fine with a student that said gays and adulterers should be punished. Well, the difference is that one of these is something that can be disproven, while the other one is a shitty opinion. The difference being is that there is very little evidence outside of the Bible of Jesus's existence. While the historian makes the case that even if someone was making up a messiah they would make them powerful and shit and not tortured. Which do you think elicits a more complicit population, battle and fight I am Jesus and I will fuck up anyone trying to opress me or my people(You know like Israel under Roman Occupation), pretty much fight back with me on your side. Or, do you think they would invent a chill dude, love everyone and give unto Caeser what is his. I think the answer if fairly obvious if I do say so myself. So pretty much fuck the student getting suspended, though I do believe that under the current law the uni. probably has the right to do so. And that I agree with her that Jesus most likely wan't hung on a cross, because the guy probably wasn't even real. 

Rashid Khalidi

Entry : Khalidi, a professor at Columbia, laced a criticism of Trump's foreign policy with not-so-subtle anti-semitism. Discussing Trump's position on Israel, Khalidi said "They have a vision whereby there is no such thing as the Palestinians. They have a vision whereby international law doesn’t exist. They have a vision whereby the United States can unilaterally cancel a decision of the United Nations. And unfortunately these people infest the Trump transition team, these people are going to infest our government as of January 20th. And they are hand in glove with a similar group of people in the Israeli government and in Israeli political life who think that whatever they think can be imposed on reality."

My Response : Wow, it's anti-semitic to state the fact that a lot of people in the Trump administration and Israel(cough cough Nethanyahu if that 's the right way to spell his name, I'm too lazy to check) think that the Palestinians don't exist and that occupying their land(illegal under international law btw) is anti-semitic. Then I think that Russia annexing Crimea, is totally good and you know what, in fact anyone who says anything against it is a Ruso-phobe. BTW, I'm not one of those retarded dems, screaming about how Russia hacked the DNC, like I'm sorry but how the fuck is that suprising to you, wow foreign powers want to influence politics shocking. Not to mention, all they did was tell us about the shitty shit the Democrats were doing against Bernie Sanders, I mean frankly they should have done it to the GOP too, but hey some transparency is better than no transparency. And frankly, this professor might just be my favorite professor atm, I mean the smear job against him by these dumb-asses makes me frankly extremely sympathetic to him.
