I agree that we should do something in response to Turning Point USA's recently formed  "professor watchlist."  But we might want to think a little bit more before we decide on the best way to trip up this watchlist.  Turning Point USA seems to be quite a bizarre and scary group.  (They also sponsor student trips to Israel and retreats that fuel up students with neoconservative ideology and pamphlets.) Perhaps if lots of us signed up for the list, this would trip them up; however, as Ladelle noted, we would probably need a lot of people (and perhaps some well-known people?) to make this effective.  As another possibility, do you think the APA would make a statement in response to the watchlist?

I checked with George. He likes the idea. But we need a lot of people to do it to be effective. Might take longer than by tomorrow to organize.

i went to their site.  it's quite a bizarre list.
also not clear how to sign oneself up other than "submit a tip" -- there's no "comments" or "contact us" section in which to do it for oneself.

Those of us who are comfortable doing this and on board with it should probably identify a "launch time," maybe tomorrow afternoon, so we all start sending in these emails at once.

I had the same thoughts as Alison.
(I have two young girls ((7 months and 4 years)) I won't stop teaching
the way I do (which probably would warrant me a spot on the list if I
were more important) but I won't call attention to me explicitly.

That doesn't mean the strategy of asking to be included is not worth
of reflection. I just wanted to voice my support for Alison's worry.
