Student activists who circulated an online petition calling for Justice Clarence Thomas to be fired are taking credit for his recent decision not to teach at the university.
Some had urged the university to remove the Supreme Court justice after he was among a majority of the court that overturned the constitutional right to an abortion.
You might think that students would be thrilled to have a Supreme Court Justice as an adjunct law professor, and maybe that would be true in a sane world.
In response to an online petition calling for the removal of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as a professor at George Washington Law School, the school put out a statement both defending Thomas’s place on campus and affirming the school’s academic values.
George Washington University Law School has rejected students' demand to fire Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas from his teaching position at the school. According to the students, Thomas has "has stripped the right to bodily autonomy of people with wombs," and planned "to further strip the rights of queer people and remove the ability for people to practice safe sex without fear of pregnancy."
