Dozens of professors from American University’s Washington College of Law signed on to a letter saying the phrase "all lives matter" is white supremacy.
Dozens of professors from American University’s Washington College of Law (WCL) openly condemned an unknown student as a white supremacist for posting a sign with the catchphrase “All Lives Matter” on a faculty member’s door.
“The ‘All Lives Matter’ sign might seem to be a benign message with no ill intent, but it has become a rallying cry for many who espouse ideas of white supremacy and overt racism, as well as those who do not believe the laws should equally protect those who have a different skin color or religion,” the professors wrote in a statement to the WCL community.
The handwritten sign was allegedly posted on the door of a faculty member’s office by a student who has not been identified. The professors, however, think the student clearly intended to promote a racist message.
“In context, the message appears intended by the messenger to be an attempt to silence and intimidate an opposing viewpoint, not an effort to communicate a different perspective,” they wrote.
They go on to argue that since the sign was placed in the vicinity of “a flyer for a training program on police violence” and “near flyers for other social justice and racial equality events,” it sent a racist message given the context.
The professors then offer some tips on how to respectfully “communicate a different perspective.”
“There is value in simply asking someone, ‘If you feel comfortable, I would like to talk to you sometime about X. I have been reading a lot about the topic, and I am interested in hearing your perspective,’” the professors wrote to their law students in a lesson on how to engage in arguments.
“Few would take offense at your non-confrontational invitation to have the conversation,” they added after defending the “Black Lives Matter” movement and its tactics.
And people actually pay money to go to these school today?
It is almost as if the Black lives matter people WANT RE-Segregation as long as THEY are in charge....
Well there ya have it. Settled law. We’re all racists.
Fire the lot of them.

Holy crackpot, that’s a LAW school?? And right off the top they are pushing racism in disguise of “tolerance”? Wow, any parent has a kid going to that school, get them they hell out ASAP.
No level of madness surprises me anymore in the least.
Stuff like this drives votes to Trump.
In the name of climate change, I call on these professors to voluntarily stop sucking oxygen out of the atmosphere as soon as possible. It’s only right.
I guess the Pledge of Allegiance needs to be updated so that the last line becomes:
“With liberty and justice for Blacks.”

Idiots. Pure and Simple. Freaking Idiots.
Can’t they see “Black Lives Matter” is nothing more than black racism?
I almost wish I had a student there. So I could withdraw them. Yesterday.
I am beginning to understand why my niece wants to give her very talented and intelligent graduating HS senior out of college for at least a year. It is most definitely not a $$ issue.
"Almost as-if"? No.
"Is"? Yes.
Bingo. Post of the day. I believe many want exactly that.

OK Mr. Profs, how about coming here and “discussing” this issue. I think a good place for this discussion would be at my shooting range where you could yell your position from the 25yd line while holding a target before you. You can hear my response: One report from me should be considered a no, two a stronger no and three or more an emphatic no.
