Controversial Penn Law Professor Amy Wax appears next on cancel culture chopping block | The College Fix
An administrative sanctions probe into controversial University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School Professor Amy Wax reaches its six-month mark as June arrives, and some observers speculate the tenured scholar may soon be fired.
Wax, who has taught at Penn for two-plus decades, has made several comments that have prompted numerous calls for her termination.
It started with an op-ed in 2017 in which she praised bourgeois values.
Next, she stated black law student performance at Penn is mediocre. In 2018, Wax was removed from teaching mandatory courses for first-year students after she said I don t think I ve ever seen a black student graduate in the top quarter of the [law school] class, and rarely, rarely in the top half.
Her warnings about America s Asian elite and her comment that the country would be better off with more whites and fewer nonwhites also led to more controversy.
In an interview with Tucker Carlson in January of this year she said there is just a tremendous amount of resentment and shame of non-western peoples against western peoples for western peoples outsized achievements and contributions.
Amy seems to have decided to hell with it, and I can’t say I blame her. Presumably she has what is known as F-you money in the bank and/or has decided to become a full-time culture warrior. I disagree with what she reportedly has said, some of it, but will defend to the death her right to say it. Well, not to the death. But to the point of some inconvenience, anyway.
