Georgetown Law Doesn’t Care About The Truth | The American Conservative
Here s the thing: What if what Prof. Sellers says is true? What if most of her black students are in the bottom of the class? Does truth not matter here? The BLSA says the Sellers statement reveals that she is a racist. How? Is it considered to be a metaphysical impossibility that black students are at the bottom of her class because they aren t keeping up with the rest?
Do low class grades by minority students prove that the professor is racist? Is it possible that those particular students can t do the work as well as the others? And if this is a persistent problem at Georgetown Law, is the school maybe allowing in students under diversity rules that open the door to students who aren t fully prepared to do the coursework at Georgetown Law? Could that be it? If what Sellers says is true, and if it s true across different classes (as the other professor s lack of challenging her statement might indicate), maybe that tells Georgetown Law something about its admission standards.
Those questions aren t even being considered here. Rather, the idea is to destroy Prof. Sellers career and reputation. And this is a warning to other professors when it comes to grading black students: if their scores place them near the bottom of the class, you might end up denounced publicly as a racist, and fired.
