Georgetown Law has fired one white professor and placed another on administrative leave after a video of their discussion about a black student was condemned on social media.

Dean Bill Treanor announced on Thursday that the school had ended its relationship with Professor Sandra Sellers, 62, after the video showed her complaining on Zoom that black students were predominantly at the bottom of her class.

I think it’s best to just end this discussion by saying that I’m glad you take the time to learn to properly pronounce your students’ names, regardless of their skin color, and that they like you. That has nothing to do with the topic of this thread, however. Have a good evening.

Can you spell A-F-F-I-R-M-A-T-I-V-E A-C-T-I-O-N ???

Students who, but for the color of their skin, wouldn’t otherwise be there....don’t belong there.

The entire “systemic racism” charade is nothing more than a diversion to try to explain the failures of the “black community”,
without holding the black community to account for its own actions.
A culture that values ignorance over education, degeneracy over dignity, and violence over civility will continue to fail until the end of time, no matter what “white people” do.

It’s as simple as that.

AMEN!

Your position is, "The fault lies with the lazy, lousy teachers". I understand.

And I assume you mean at all levels of education, not just at the university level. And if what you say is true, it's a bit ironic these institutions are mostly run and controlled by by leftist/Communist.

What are the special needs that their skin color causes? These law students are college graduates, not middle schoolers but grown adults in their 20s with 16 years of schooling behind them. Is there some point at which they can be expected to share some responsibility for their own learning?

Wouldn’t it have made more sense first to find out if this was true and then next to try and fix the problem?

Telling the truth earned Socrates a drink of hemlock.

This has always struck me as simplistic if not revisionist. I suggest we (re)read Plato's Apology. I'll need to dust off my copy of Hamilton and Cairns.

As I recall one of the charges was for "corrupting youth". If one looks at how Socrates famous students turned out, there may be considerable truth to the charge.

He was an old, drunken profligate (see the Symposium).

“eh...? every private conversation has to have some distinctive insight ...”

You make good points. But it wasn’t exactly a private conversation.

I’ve wasted words and said offensive things in private conversations. I’m more careful these days.

To be sure, the firing was not justified. Her gutless bosses fired her to protect their asses.

The will never admit any findings.

I’ve seen some SJW’s commenting that she probably intentionally gave blacks worse grades or judge them harder because she is a RACIST. See? No accountability ever.

I wonder what she meant by it causes her anxiety to think about it? Wonder if it’s a known issue and professors just like most of school from elementary on up just passes them on regardless?
