Just as we do not re-host the SPLC's "anti-Muslim list" because it's inappropriate for us to create lists of people targeted by one interest group or another, we should not be a party to re-hosting this purported "watchlist." As Doug Weller noted, I believe at minimum before we include any discussion of individual people, there needs to either be first-person discussion of the claim, such as Anthea Butler's, or multiple indisputable reliable sources such as the NYT, Chronicle of Higher Education, etc. discussing that person's inclusion on the list.

This article mentions hardly anything else than criticism. Re-naming it to 'Criticism of Professor Watchlist' would be more informative. Regorsash (talk) 17:03, 11 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

The article is loaded with critical responses and (unless I'm scanning it too hastily) no favorable mentions. I'm planning to add a few sentences or a heading to indicate this state of affairs. Also, the point that the list's purpose is to help students avoid pro-leftist bias should be mentioned in the lead paragraph. Uncle Ed (talk) 17:59, 8 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
Considering what's going on in US political culture these days, I'd advise being cautious about taking "purpose is to help students" and "pro-leftist bias" on face value. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:44, 8 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
Yes, thank you. I should have said "stated purpose" and "perceived bias." It's the POV of TurningPoint that academia is filled with pro-leftist bias, and I wouldn't want to state this as a 'fact.' I appreciate the caution. --Uncle Ed (talk) 04:26, 9 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
