UPenn law professor removed for calling black students inferior(Fake News)
NY Post ^ | 03/15/2018

A white University of Pennsylvania law school professor who said she has never seen a black student graduate in the top quarter of the class has been removed from teaching required first-year law courses.

Law school dean Ted Ruger said professor Amy Wax spoke “disparagingly and inaccurately” about the performance of black students during an interview with Brown University economics professor Glenn Loury on the “downside of affirmative action” last year.

This professor wrote an article last year suggesting some 1950's "bourgeois" values are more beneficial to society than the modern day single parent culture. Her biggest sin was questioning the performance of affirmative action students. Naturally the social vengeance warriors are out for her scalp and anything she says from now on will be spun to make her look like a racist.
Of course the university won't supply any data to repudiate or support her claims.

“Law school dean Ted Ruger said professor Amy Wax spoke “disparagingly and inaccurately” about the performance of black students”

Easy way to find that out. Pull the class rankings and see. I’m betting she’s right.

The statistics are there, if they haven’t been tampered with, and Glenn will open them for inspection.

Suppose some did rank in the top quarter. You know they were not required to play by the same rules and yardstick as their white counterparts. Throughout their academic careers, protected groups are cut slack and measured by a different standard.

This would be hard to prove. It’s probably against skool policy to give blacks poor grades that would hurt their class ranking.

So Ted, what you're really saying is that she committed the crime of noticing.

Let's have a look at the data Ted.....or are you afraid that it will confirm what the professor has said, and what we already know?

Soooooo, did any of the melanin enhanced students actually graduate in the top quarter? If not, her worst sin was simply telling the truth.

Nothing pisses of a liberal like the truth!

I know a retired high school teacher. She told me she was ordered by her principal to not fail students even though they were failing.

If black students were poor performing, affirmative action sealed the deal in allowing them to do politics instead of studying and terminally dooming them to dumbed down status

There is a reason Jamaican students do not consider themselves black and want nothing to do with black Americans they consider losers

Even Haitians considers them losers

If Jamaicans can say it, so can she

So how are those commie liberal “perfessers” doing who are writing all these farticles we’ve been seeing that claim schools are white supremacists because their courses like math and science are too hard for minorities to learn. I’ve seen a numbers of these over the past couple of years.

“She told me she was ordered by her principal to not fail students even though they were failing.”

This is the basis of the recent “graduation” scandals currently being twittered about here in DC and neighboring Prince George’s County. A few administrators have been released from duties, but nothing will come of it, except the graduation rate for some schools will drop from almost 80% to around 40% until this blows over.

In contrast, other academics all over our elite universities routinely make actual racist and threatening anti-white remarks (including calls for white genocide), and are rewarded for it with tenure and promotions.

You know that will never happen. "Academics" often hate to discuss facts.

Baltimore is going through this now. Everyone was surprised when a new school superintendent suddenly got graduation rates to rise by 30%. How did he do it??

Their claims are more along the lines of "most math and science was invented by white men. Therefore, math and science as we know it are racist and sexist, and need to be done away with and replaced by racial and gender-inclusive new[pseudo] science and math."
