IRAPgw and “Justice” Clarence Thomas ~ That foul animal shouldn’t be around humans let alone teaching young people “The law according to Ginni 101” Terrible class, terrible reputation, everyone’s talking about it!

Good. “Calls to fire” 🙄 Wild idea here, no one sign up for the class!! Pretty simple

Somebody gets it. Someone's paying attention.. finally

Shameful to even expect them to. I have never seen more sorry, bad losers than in the last few days. I don’t know who hates to lose more, democrats or trump, but I do know who HAS lost more lol.

I wish his students could ask him if his fatwa on religious abominations (marriage equality for example) will include a ban on interracial marriage

Perhaps a good way to end his gig there is for students not to attend his classes and exercise their rights to an opinion either outside his classroom, or demonstrate inside during his lecture

While GW nobly espouses 'academic freedom' & 'the robust exchange of ideas & deliberation', what Thomas did was more than 'opinion and discourse'. He took real freedoms away from women that will harm them profoundly. It's an unfair equivalence; I'd xfer before GW got another dime

Yeah well he ain’t allowed at the cookouts so.. that’s something.

Now its up to the students who wants admissions in that college.

Give it time.

I agree with the university. You can’t go firing teaches for their opinions, even opinions as evil as his. I wish they would entice him to teach full time and leave us alone

It's not the University he needs to be removed from.

GW is trash, always has been
