Clarence Thomas is one of the least likely people you’d expect to teach civil rights.
For decades, he has used his Supreme Court weight to oppose affirmative action, challenge federal voting rights protections and reject certain legal resolutions designed to address racial discrimination.
Yet the University of Texas School of Civic Leadership has tapped the U.S. Supreme Court justice to help teach a course on civil rights and the meaning of equality next spring. The university’s recent announcement raises the obvious question: Just what civil rights story will the students be getting?
Thomas will teach a seminar called “Equality and the New Birth of Freedom.” It will focus on the work of civil rights activists including Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. He will be on campus for two hours every morning for one week in February.
Clarence “Uncle” Thomas?
How many luxury RVs are they paying him?
What a joke, he’s an enemy of human rights.
Lol. And Trump will teach a course on ethics.
I would like to refer to the ancient adage of “Skinfolk ain’t always kinfolk”. I would like to submit this picture in particular as the photograph in its dictionary entry. All in favor?
He has his so screw yours black folk.
No matter your race, colour of skin you can be corrupt and be safe from any repercussions. What is more DEI than that.
I fully expect his lesson plan to include calling MLK Jr. the n-word along with a song and dance number about how segregation was “Kinda based actually.”
What next? Netanyahu lecturing on equality? Trump lecturing at MENSA?
Wouldn’t he be better suited for courses like “Civil Wrongs” or “Corruption 101”?
Is he going to talk about the friends he turned in to the FBI when he pretended he was fighting for Civil Rights?
or about the civil rights hes tried so hard to take away from people in exchange for an RV
how to put your pubes on your coke can, to Sexually harrass one of your interns no doubt. and also to hate people of your own race/demographic/“left” for not supporting your poor career path or lack therof.
Maybe he could just die instead.
I have another question, is being on SCOTUS a part time job?
The conservative supreme court has continuously reduced its caseload. It has become a pretty fake job under the current court who only seems engaged in rubber stamping for their political party.
It’s more like a hobby it seems.
A lucrative side-hustle.
Always has been
or recieving multimillion dollar gifts from HARLAN crow a nazi for “favors”
I get it, but it sounds like the “teaching” gig is more of a junket
He will be on campus for two hours every morning for one week in February.
I’d like like to get an all-expense-paid trip somewhere warm and only have to work 2 hours a day…
Yeah, it is just part of the “more free money and stuff for the wealthy”-program.
It is amazing how much money and free stuff the wealthy gets thrown at them just for being wealthy.
Being rich is so affordable. And being poor is so expensive.

sure… but Texas? no thanks
Hey! We’re a blue state now!
Maybe old Clarence is going to head to Hippie Hollow for a dip!
Austin is awesome
Aren’t they always denying cases because they don’t have time ?
The caseload alone justifies expanding the court.
