David Blackman, a native of Plano, Texas, was thrilled to be starting law school at Penn State in the fall of 2025.
A former 911 call operator and a veteran of the Texas State Guard, Blackman, 26, loved the university’s football team and its location in the Appalachian Mountains.
“I’ve been a fan of Penn State since I was a teenager,” Blackman told the Washington Free Beacon. He arrived on campus in August 2025, a 50 percent merit scholarship in hand, excited for game nights in Beaver Stadium and a three-year reprieve from the Texas heat.
Then he sat through his first anti-racism class.
On the first day of “Race and the Equal Protection of the Laws,” a required course for all first-year law students, Blackman listened as a transgender faculty member, Emily Spottswood, explained why the course was mandatory.
“It’s not optional,” Spottswood said, because “being a lawyer is about recognizing and combating injustice.”
In audio of the session obtained by the Free Beacon, Spottswood said that this “institutional message” was “baked into” the law school’s “DNA,” adding that, as a “trans woman,” the course’s focus on “combatting oppression … is meaningful to me.”

This only proves without a shadow of a doubt that leftism ruins everything it touches.
When "Emily" looks down, he spots wood.
“anti-Racism course” = anti-white male propaganda course.
Dickinson School of law was once loosely affiliated with Dickinson College before becoming completely independent of it in 1917. It remained an independent law school until being swallowed by Penn State in 2000. Even before that, its instructors had a far left bias, including one in your face butch lesbian who enjoyed walking around with her hairy legs on display. It’s only gotten worse since it merged with Penn State.
Lol!
““anti-Racism course” = anti-white male propaganda course.”
What else would it be, right?
That’s pretty tough for David, but “inclusion” doesn’t mean everyone...
Well as they say, racism, sexism, oppression are in the eyes of the victims. The Texan needs to inform the Dean that he is being oppressed by his lecture!
David Blackman....Irony.....
This is a public university (PA government school). Makes it more egregious, IMO.
There is an old saying, “Those who can’t do, teach.” It explains why most law school professors (along with most medical school professors) are far left-wing liberals.
Penn State must take Federal money in some form. Didn’t the Trump administration force colleges to remove all DEI crap, or else lose funding?
He’s like the military guys that refused the shot. How many go along to get along? Think of the Milgram expirement. Intimidation works.
This guy refused to play the chump and paid the price while the military guys got their justice with the next exection, something we can’t always count on.
“being a lawyer is about recognizing and combating injustice.”
Silly me thought it had something to do with the law. But what do I know? I’m not a lawyer.
But what price did he pay?
There was no price to pay for being brave.
He left the clutches of a low IQ law school.
Law combats injustice.
His best laid plans went astray.
No, he bailed from a low IQ system.
