PRINCETON — When Peter Singer heard a conservative group put out a new watchlist singling out college professors with “leftist” and “radical agendas,” the veteran Princeton University professor was not surprised to hear he was on it.

Singer, a professor of bioethics, has come under fire in the past for his controversial views on animal rights, euthanasia and the morals of killing disabled babies.

He is one of five professors from New Jersey universities listed on the Professor Watchlist released last week by Turning Point USA, a non-profit conservative group. The list of nearly 200 professors is designed to “expose and document college professors who discriminate against conservative students and advance leftist propaganda in the classroom,” according to the website.
