What anti-government viewpoints are being funded and taught at our Universities today, and how does and will it impact security clearance eligibility?

It looks like her website is mostly about improving the lives of Native Americans, not the violent overthrow of our government, it is in the news because of her statements related to Gaza. I think she is Navaho by the way and of course, they have a history of contributing to the US, for example, the Navaho Code Talkers in World War 2.
We have more than 80 million anti- government people, who want to destroy the United States, hate democracy and embrace extreme Fascisim. I am not worried about a professor in Minnesota who wants equality.
“It looks like her website is mostly about improving the lives of Native Americans, not the violent overthrow of our government…”
Then how do you interpret this statement?:
"And so, it's our responsibility as people who are within the United States to go as hard as possible to decolonization this place," she added. "Because that will reverberate all across the world. Because the U.S. is the greatest predator empire that has ever existed. So we want U.S. out of everywhere ... and the goal is to dismantle the settler project that is the United States."
Given that investigators may have been educated in an environment conducive to anti-government point of view, clearances may not be affected by such views.
10:25 -- I think decolonize has a "redefined" meaning here -- it isn't really about overseas territories, foreign bases, or foreign policy. The US is not a colonial power in my opinion, in fact it was formed in resistance to colonialism, and has resisted colonialism in the Western Hemisphere due to the Monroe doctrine, of course, there were some territories such as the Philippines which are now independent, or the Panama Canal which was returned:

And Puerto Rico, Guam, and a few other places are currently territories I doubt this is a reference to that however.
We also fought Japan to resist their colonization and oppression and release their colonies in the Greater East Asian Co-prosperity Sphere from bondage, and to the extent that Cuba was a Soviet colony we resisted that. We freed the Warsaw pact countries which were in some ways, Soviet colonies and puppet states, and so on, and Germany was reunified in October 1990.
And of course, Hitler's Reich was an effort to subjugate populations throughout Europe and create Lebensraum to resettle Germans, killing or enslaving natives, and appropriating resources -- in effect, a case of colonialism, which the US put an end to.
So it must be, she is talking more about rights for native americans, giving them more autonomy and respect, diversity initiatives and so on, and perhaps more land returned to them, along with money from natural resources, so they can have better lives.
10:25 that statement can only be treated as though it came from a traitor to these United States.
Treason has a very narrow definition under the US constitution:

I'm not sure those statements reach these very narrow criteria, the statements might be reprehensible however, I am not sure what it even represents, or what she envisions as part of her agenda. It doesn't seem specific, there are no actions attached, and she has no real followers. This also isn't a focus of her beliefs at all, she is an advocate (or claims to be) for native americans and not some foreign government.
I'd admit you would get a better education by avoiding such teachings, maybe watch the History Channel, or find professors with a less ideological focus, someone better grounded in reality might also be better suited to advance the interest of the native americans I would expect. These kind of "radical ideas" and emotional appeals could be co-opted by people who wish to avoid addressing real problems after all, various elites or special interest groups who wish to exploit various issues to benefit themselves.
That is, while she seems to be an anti-establishment figure she is probably not, she became a professor for a reason despite her lack of evident qualifications, as she serves the establishment.
The website of the event host:
https://therednation.org/10-point-program/
Listen, I can't take this seriously as their 10 point program only has 6 points listed! I can't believe these people are some sort of threat, unless you can point to something very specific they have done or planned to do.
Of course, native americans are US citizens, and also because of their special history and status, should deserve good treatment. Why is that controversial?
