Several college professors unleashed vulgarities at conservative Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas after they were offended by some of Scalia’s comments during oral arguments in the case of Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, which has to do with the constitutionality of affirmative action policies in college admissions.
The professors took umbrage with one of Scalia’s comments, in which the jurist asked the counsel for UT to respond to an argument made by opponents of affirmative action, pointing out that “there are those who contend that it does not benefit African ÂAmericans to–to get them into the University of Texas where they do not do well, as opposed to having them go to a less advanced school, a less  a slower Âtrack school where they do well. One of – one of the briefs pointed out that  that most of the — ÂÂmost of the black scientists in this country don’t come from schools like the University of Texas.”
Apparently believing Scalia’s comments to be offensive, several college professors took to Twitter to show their contempt for both Justice Scalia and Justice Thomas.
Ben Carrington, an assistant professor of Sociology at the University of Texas, called Justice Thomas a “dumb f***” for something he imagined Thomas doing.
I can imagine Clarence Thomas nodding as Scalia says blacks should stick to "slower track schools". He's talking about you, you dumb f***.

Jesse Goldberg, an assistant professor of Neurobiology and Behavior at Cornell University, simply tweeted “f*** you, Scalia.”
f*** you, Scalia. https://t.co/UqrrvWJK10

Alexander Ibe, a professor of Life Sciences at Weatherford College, called Scalia an “Ass Hole Racist.”
#SCOTUS Scalia is just an Ass Hole Racist

Angus Johnston, a professor at the City University of New York’s Hostos Community College, claimed Scalia was “reveling in being an asshole.”
Scalia reveling in being an asshole. He's getting worse, right? Feels like he's getting worse.

Despite his own vulgarity, Johnston has been an ardent defender of “trigger warnings” for college students.
...I wonder is Trump supporters realized over the weekend that their boy was channeling college professors, MSNBC, Mitch McConnell, the Chamber of Commerce.....?
Answer: Hell no they can’t see it. They won’t see it.
Of course they are channeling Trump, who recently brought this into the national conversation again. BLM hearts Trump.
If I could do one dictatorial thing to save America I would outlaw reality TV and start raising the intelligence level of Americans immediately.
Ping.
I guess this is the civility the whiners claim is missing in race relations and our society these days.
Trump supporters perhaps ? Fits the liberal narrative.
They never did hide their well know rethoric that Trump has broad appeal even among the liberals, actually they were giddy about it.
...you'd have to outlaw 98% of our colleges and universities too!!!
“were offended by some of Scaliaâs comments “
Truth hurts doesn’t it?
They don’t care
The only days I am ashamed of being a professor are the ones that end in Y, as in why do such vulgar nitwits get to be academicians.
Quoting you here, Doctor, to help put this misstep in perspective:
Trump on judges:
If you watched the Town Hall meeting yesterday in Aiken, S.C. you would have heard Trump say that Roberts was an embarrassment and a big disappointment and that Thomas was his favorite and that Scalia was also very high on his list of respected SC Justices. â VideoDoctor

Trump on Abortion [Dailymail at UK]
” ... and I happen to be pro-life. Okay? I’m pro-life.”
[He said that to a female pro-choice zealot.]

[And it’s common knowledge how much he hates the body part harvesting outrages.]
I wouldn’t outlaw the colleges but I would strip them of taxpayer funding.
While I defended Trump in Post 12, the truth is that owns this until he straightens it out.
“âF*** You, Scaliaâ”?
I say the same thing about Roberts
I believe that states should have the power to collectively appoint a debate planner who is each term limited to one year. Every professor, every politicians, and every judge should be mandated to debate [from a state government perspective] once a year.
With all of their education, this is best vocabulary they could find.
Higher education is the last field they should be working in.
LOL. There is not a rational thought in their heads. They can not “think” above the level of a pre-Dewey 3rd grader.
Actually, they can’t even “think” on a level of a pre-”school” 7 year old who grew up with illiterate parents in colonial America. Those children would have laughed at people who called males, females, and “believed” all the Marxists irrational theories that these useful idiots worship.
Trump did step in it here, but your accusation is a cheap shot:
“They never did hide their well know rethoric that Trump has broad appeal even among the liberals, actually they were giddy about it.”
Trump is on record supporting Scalia as well as Thomas and being very disappointed in Roberts. Heck Trump is even on record being pro-life. [See post 12]
