About the "Professor" .... Loretta Ross.
>Ross was born in Temple, Texas on August 16, 1953, the sixth of eight children in a blended family.[1] Her father, who immigrated from Jamaica,[2] was an Army weapons specialist and drill sergeant. He retired from the military in 1963, worked for the Post Office, and held odd jobs to support his family [1] Ross' mother worked as a domestic worker and owned a music store, though worked as a housewife while Ross was growing up.[1]
From 2017-2018, Ross was a visiting Associate Professor in the Women’s Studies department at Hampshire College, teaching the course “White Supremacy in the Age of Trump” for the current academic year. For her primary education, Ross attended integrated schools: Army schools through second grade, then public schools. She was double-promoted in elementary grades and was an honors student in high school.[1] She went to Army school through second grade and transferred to public schools afterwards. Ross' grades were high and she received honors during her school years.[1] In 1964, at age 11, Ross became a survivor of sexual assault,[3] where she was beaten and raped by a stranger. In 1968, at the age of 15, Ross was raped by her distant cousin, became pregnant, and gave birth to her son, Howard.[1][3] Ross lost her scholarship from Radcliffe College of Harvard University when she decided to keep her son instead of sending him away for adoption.[1]
In 1970, Ross attended Howard University for her tertiary education. During her undergraduate career there, she became actively involved in black nationalist politics,[3] civil rights movements such as black women feminism ideologies and racial issues,[4] and tenant organizing.[1] Ross joined a Marxist-Leninist discussion group called the D.C. Study Group, and the South Africa Support Project.[1]
It would be unfortunate if someone sent to her current employers her comments about those with whom she merely politically disagrees, given that she advocates for political trials and political executions of innocent people.
Either she’d be sanctioned in some way, or else she wouldn’t. Either way, the information gained would be valuable.
