Black student activists demand Columbia fire law lecturer who prosecuted ‘Central Park Five’
College Fix ^ | June 10, 2019 | Greg Piper

It looks like Harvard University isn’t the only Ivy League school where student activists believe that working in the criminal justice system is grounds for exclusion from campus life.

Less than a month after Harvard removed Ronald Sullivan as faculty dean of Winthrop House – for representing disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein in his criminal trial – Columbia University’s black student activists are trying to remove another law faculty member for prosecuting defendants.

A Change.org petition by the Black Students’ Organization has more than 8,000 signatures. It was prompted by the new Netflix documentary When They See Us, which tells the story of four black and one Hispanic teenagers who were prosecuted for the rape and attempted murder of a white woman in New York City in 1989.

These people are not in Columbia based on merit (intelligence). Affirmative Action strikes again!

Columbia is obviously a racist institution, named for a racist, which should be torn down and turned into affordable public housing.

Those thugs would have done the same to all the people defending them. Does the SJW crowd ever find anyone worthy to advocate for?

Exactly. They’re used to getting so much handed to them they have no problems not being able to get in on their own merit.

If you see, Howard University or Morehouse College on a degree, you can plan on someone else doing all the work while they do all the running of the mouth. Those degrees are okay in the PC world but I wouldn’t expect anyone with a degree from there to have learned anything. Other than maybe some African studies bs lies.

The Central Park 5 Were Murderous Thugs Despite the Left’s attempt to make them martyrs.

Here’s what this is really about. From the College Fix article:

The case is back in the headlines for another reason: President Donald Trump’s outsized role in demanding the execution of the teenagers when he was still a real estate developer.

Does anybody know if Trump’s “role” is portrayed in the “documentary”?

Yes, of course. It’s always been about Trump. This story was buried for years until creepy Ken Burns decided to make a doc on it, followed up by this Netflix piece of schlock.

In the above noted WSJ Oped piece, Ms Fairstein rips apart the filmaker Ava DuVernay for her Netflix miniseries falsley portraying the Central Park Five as “innocent teens” wrongly accussed. Ms Fairstein was lead prosecutor on the case. The Columbia law lecturer some are protesting worked for Ms Fairstein.
