CSUSB professor quoted in article about simplifying one’s life

Kelly Campbell, CSUSB professor of psychology and human development and a nationally recognized expert in relationships, was one of the experts quoted for an article about simplifying one’s life to get the most out of it.

Under the article’s heading “Abandon toxic relationships,” Campbell said, “A toxic relationship is one that adversely impacts a person’s health and well-being.” The article cited her interview with the website, Brides, in which she said, “Because we spend so much of our time and energy on a romantic partner, these relationships are especially influential on our well-being. When they are going well, we are usually doing well. But when they are not going well, our health and happiness will likely be negatively affected.”

State education official tied to ‘wild conspiracy theories’ and claims should disqualify him from his job, CSUSB professor says

Brian Levin, director of CSUSB’s Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism, commented on California schools chief Tony Thurmond’s reinstatement of a state education official, Craig Heimbichner, who has been linked to anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and claims that the 9/11 terrorist attack was an inside job.

Experts in hate groups and extremism, including Levin, said that Heimbichner’s web of conspiracy theories about Freemasons, government cover-ups and a “cryptocracy” should disqualify him from his job in California education.

“There is no way that someone who promotes wild conspiracy theories that are often tinged with bigotry should be in any place of adjudicating the propriety of school curriculum,” said Levin.
