Cornell campus climate “so far beyond political correctness”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 12, 2020 49 Comments

I appeared last night on the Laura Ingraham show to talk about my post, There’s an effort to get me fired at Cornell for criticizing the Black Lives Matter Movement. Much of the conversation turned on a Statement issued late yesterday afternoon by Cornell Law School Dean Eduardo M. Peñalver defending my academic freedom and stating that no disciplinary action would be taken, but otherwise condemning me.

NYPD Lieutenant Apologizes For Taking A Knee To Protesters: “I know I made the wrong decision”

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on June 11, 2020 68 Comments

The decision of police officers to take a knee based on heckling from the woke mobs is obviously an individual one. We've seen New York City's top uniformed cop take a knee, and most of us cringed. We've seen cops washing the feet of black "faith leaders," and most of us cringed. Likewise, we cheer when a police officer asserts that he kneels for no one but God.

There’s an effort to get me fired at Cornell for criticizing the Black Lives Matter Movement

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 11, 2020 330 Comments

There is an effort underway to get me fired at Cornell Law School, where I've worked since November 2007, or if not fired, at least denounced publicly by the school. Ever since I started Legal Insurrection in October 2008, it's been an awkward relationship given the overwhelmingly liberal faculty and atmosphere. Living as a conservative on a liberal campus is like being the mouse waiting for the cat to pounce.
