“used the law following the 2022 Supreme Court reversal of Roe v. Wade to prosecute pro-life dads, some of whom had already been cleared of charges”
This is a reminder that higher education is where Democrats go when they’re between government jobs.

Biden official who targeted pro-life dads teaches civil rights class at Penn
A former Biden Department of Justice official who prosecuted pro-life dads is teaching a “civil rights boot camp” at the University of Pennsylvania.
Former Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke’s class “will offer an overview of landmark federal civil rights statutes including those enacted by Congress in the wake of the Civil Rights Movement.”
These include “the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act,” and other more recent laws, according to a University of Pennsylvania news release.
“Our federal civil rights laws have played a central role in our democracy—creating opportunities, addressing historical challenges, and helping to ensure equal justice under law for all,” Clarke (pictured) stated in the news release.
This is not her only academic gig, as she will also “conduct research and engage with the Howard Law community on racial justice and civil rights, particularly around intersections with technologies such as artificial intelligence.”
However, she has faced criticism from Republican politicians and pro-life leaders for what they argue is selective targeting under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.
Texas Congressman Chip Roy said there is an “apparent disparity between prosecutions targeting pro-life protestors and pro-abortion attacks on places of worship and pregnancy resource centers.” He criticized Clarke in Feb. 2024 for not releasing data on prosecutions.
Clarke, and the Biden DOJ, used the law following the 2022 Supreme Court reversal of Roe v. Wade to prosecute pro-life dads, some of whom had already been cleared of charges.
For example, Philadelphia prosecutor Larry Krasner declined to charge Mark Houck following a confrontation with an aggressive pro-abortion activist. A judge also threw out a civil lawsuit from the aggressive escort, who reportedly told Houck’s 12-year-old that he was “a fag.”
But then Clarke and the DOJ picked up the charge and launched an early-morning armed raid on Houck and his family before ultimately failing to secure a conviction. Houck had pushed the aggressive abortion activist who was harassing the pro-lifer’s son.

Of course she is. She is obviously stupid, If she was smart she would have gotten Biden to nominate her for a judgeship.
Defund. As Prof. Jacobson has said, the universities are unfixable.
