‘This gift innovatively targets the intersection of two areas of pressing social concern, environmental harm and racial inequity,’ dean says.
New York University law students will soon be able to learn how to fight for a “decarbonized future” and against “environmental racism.”
The university announced a new Environmental Justice Laboratory will begin this fall.
“This gift innovatively targets the intersection of two areas of pressing social concern, environmental harm and racial inequity,” Dean Troy McKenzie stated in a news release.
“Environmental justice has been an emerging area of focus here at the Law School and across the country,” McKenzie stated. “This funding will enable us to significantly expand that work and contribute meaningfully to the field. I’m grateful to the Napolis for their extraordinary generosity.”
The money comes from Paul and Marie Napoli, two attorneys who have a daughter at the law school.
The university announced:
The EJL will provide law students with a unique opportunity to engage in cutting-edge policy advocacy, litigation, and research in the field of environmental justice. It will aim to develop a critical mass of legal practitioners, academics, and clinicians dedicated to addressing environmental problems that disproportionately burden communities of color and low-income neighborhoods, and promoting environmental and social change.
The university said the lab will work with the school’s Center on Race, Inequality, and the Law and its Center on Environmental, Energy and Land Use Law.
The New York Civil Liberties Union says environmental racism can take different forms.
“Environmental racism refers to the institutional rules, regulations, policies, or government and/or corporate decisions that deliberately target Black and Brown communities for placement of major sources of pollution,” the group’s racial justice center’s director wrote.
“These communities are targeted for locally undesirable land uses based on the lax enforcement of zoning and environmental laws,” the article states. “As a result, communities of color are disproportionately exposed to hazardous toxins.”
It is possible the new initiative will organize people to protest, since the Center on Race, Inequality, and the Law gives tips on this topic. It appears to be left over from Black Lives Matter protests during COVID lockdowns.
Intersectionality. The marxist oppression olympics.
Look at all those white propagandized dummies.
How can lawyers make more money? That’s all it’s about.
Will it ever end?
Article 1. The Congress Shall:
Construct a thermostat to control the temperature of planet earth; and, every hour, adjust that thermostat;
Set the percentages of permissible human races, and thereby reduce the temperature of planet earth;
Set the size of, frequency of, and emissions limits from, volcanic eruptions;
Ban animal flatulence (cow farts, but also "for other purposes");
Plug every methane gas leak on the planet earth;
Set the rotational speed of the planet earth;
Set the maximum level of the oceans;
Set the size of The Ozone Hole;
Set the miles per Kilowatt;
Set the size of glaciers.
Insanity of display
This is one example of why there will always be rather severe racial tension in this country. Just when the wound starts to heal, some liberal group comes along and picks at the scab.
As long as my taxpayer money isn’t being used they can study all they want.
“Environmental justice has been an emerging area of focus here at the Law School and across the country...
Because, you know, KACHING, KACHING! JACKPOT!

A definition of a liberal can be one who is driven buy a sneaking suspicion that someone, somewhere, may disprove their propaganda that racism, as restricted to white supremacy, and or Climate Change is the cause of most every societal ills. A perpetual problem whereby they obtain power by promising to combat it, and thus the list of ills much be constantly reiterated and expanded, without debate.
weather is racis’!
The left’s next asinine claim: Exhaling is racist...
And the solution is always total power to regulate everything.
This is why you should not care if lib universities are occupied by red-guard students
Its trotsky vs. stalin
Why would “law and order” conservatives want to have police, or national guard, get involved in any way?
The Student Loan Deadbeats are doing more drugs now than the kiddies did back in the 60s. Real drug maggots.
