Kansas judge suspended for frequent F-bombs, sexism; called Black men 'boy' in court
Dion Lefler, The Wichita Eagle
Feb. 26—A Kansas judge has been suspended from his duties for a year, after court workers and defendants complained of multiple incidents of obscenity-laced harassment and use of derogatory terms for women and African Americans.
The Kansas Supreme Court took that action Friday against Montgomery County Judge F. William Cullins. Although the suspension is for a year, he could be back on the bench in 60 days if he enters a training and counseling program approved by the Office of Judicial Administration.
Evidence shows Cullins frequently and abusively dropped F-bombs in his conversations with court staff and others and referred to females by vulgarities. He also created a perception of race bias in his court in his handling of criminal charges against African-American student athletes, the Supreme Court ruled.
