Professor- “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a black student graduate in the top quarter"

[Godboy]

Every teacher in america thinks the same thing but is afraid to say it.

march 15 2018 PHILADELPHIA — A white University of Pennsylvania law school professor who said she has never seen a black student graduate in the top quarter of the class has been removed from teaching required first-year law courses.

Law school dean Ted Ruger said professor Amy Wax spoke “disparagingly and inaccurately” about the performance of black students during an interview with Brown University economics professor Glenn Loury on the “downside of affirmative action” last year.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a black student graduate in the top quarter of the class, and rarely, rarely in the top half,” Wax said at the time.

Wax also claimed that the University of Pennsylvania Law Review has a racial diversity mandate, suggesting that black students had not earned their places. Speaking about black law students at Penn and peer schools, she went on to say that some of them shouldn’t even be attending college.

Wax has tenure at the university and will retain her salary and her seniority. She will continue to teach a full course load of electives but will not be teaching a mandatory first-year law school course.

I've seen lots of black students graduate near the top of their class, at least in high school. And I'm talking about a high school where blacks are a minority with plenty of white students.

Yeah? That's funny, because I went to a majority black high school and there wasn't a single black student among the honor students, during the 4 years I was there. The honor students were all white and asian. It was a running joke among the black students; they thought it was funny.

So you are saying there were zero black honor students from a majority black high school 4 years straight. What is your definition of honor student?

 

[RetiredGySgt]

No one will challenge the only black guy in the law school. They’d be racist. Duh.
And none of Obama’s inflated and hidden credentials do anything to qualify his alleged intellect.
Your trump analogy is a non sequitor. And don’t forget that obama has no legacy with black American. His absentee father was an African National from east Africa which had very little involvement in the slave trade. Those who did were sellers and traders. So that would be the only logic to suggest obama had any superior intellect beyond REAL black Americans.

You didn't read the article, did you. Nope. You didn't read anything. You just regurgitated your normal talking points, which at the very least makes Obama smarter than you, and that's the real problem now, innit.

Sure, I read your talking points. They’ve been regurgitated incessantly and without challenge. Now it’s on you to rebut instead of propagate.

Yours are talking points. Mine are FACTS. You know facts? That which your president calls "fake news?"

It is to laugh.

You have no facts to speak of what you have are articles that do NOT show Obama's transcripts and do not refute the claim he was shown favoritism. Obama REFUSED to allow his transcripts to be released there is only one reason he would do that.

Exactly. He sure didn't have any problem locating and producing his birth certificate when challenged but he can't locate his college transcripts.

 

[TheParser]

IMHO, Professor Wax should NOT have publicly said those words.

I am astonished that a person in her position did not realize that saying those words would create a backlash.

She is either very courageous or unbelievably arrogant.

*****

I assume that that incident has destroyed her career.

Presumably, African American students will boycott any class that she teaches.

And students of other ethnicities will join the boycott to show solidarity.

 

[Tijn Von Ingersleben]

Obama.

Both of them.

I doubt that. Obama likely didn’t finish high school. He admitted he was skipping class and doing drugs. They graduated him because they were afraid of being called racist if they didn’t.
You must be the only one out there who saw obama transcripts. Many asked but were denied.

Good point. Have you asked for Trump's Wharton transcripts? .... No? .... Huh. Interesting.

Anyway, not actually a good point BECAUSE:

Obama Named New Law Review President | News | The Harvard Crimson

Receiving support and praise from students and professors, Barack H. Obama was named the 104th president of the Harvard Law Review, becoming the legal journal's first Black leader.

The election, which drew national media attention, puts Obama in charge of a staff of 80 which edits and publishes articles by legal authorities eight times per year.

While many said yesterday that they believed the election was of historical significance, Obama downplayed its importance.

"It's a significant change from the Harvard Law School of the past," said Obama. "[But] for every one of me, there are a whole bunch of young Black people who, because of drugs, poverty, or whatever, aren't getting the opportunities I have," he said.

"To the degree that he's been chosen suggests that talent can be recognized regardless of race," said Randall Kennedy, professor of law. "The fact that it's a first, however, is a reflection on some very unfortunate aspects of American society."

Fact check: Eight years of trolling Obama

^^^ A really good article for people not done playing Whack-a-Troll with Obamaniacs.

The only reason I bring this barely relevant history up is to show what a stud of a law student Barack Obama was. He graduated Harvard magna cum laude. This was one honor you unquestionably had to earn. It's a very impressive feat. Back in Obama's days at Harvard, more than 50 percent of the class graduated cum laude, a fact that made graduating "with honors" a meaningless accomplishment. But graduating magna was a different kettle of fish. Barack Obama graduated right near the top of his law school class.

That fact, along with his presidency of the Law Review, makes his uniform popularity all the more impressive. Law schools are intensely competitive places. People who thrive to an unseemly extent, as Obama did, are usually subject to an array of resentments. After all, the lawyers of tomorrow populate law schools; pettiness and insecurity reign supreme.

The people that Obama so thoroughly charmed generally weren't the charm-prone types. I say the following as a well known Republican partisan--the fact that his classmates so universally held him in the highest regard suggests that Barack Obama may truly be a special person.

The Real Obama

I have to go to work in about an hour, so don't go bitching that I have "mysteriously gone missing" when "things got too hot around here."

Where does it state that he was in the top 25 percent?

 

[Tijn Von Ingersleben]

Oh, you're gonna continue with the gay mystique?

Don't make me drag out every picture known to man of Barack and Michelle making googly eyes at each other.

And please, PLEASE: I am begging you. Explain this picture of young Michelle in elementary school, and how she is obviously a male child.

1. You are lying

2. By near top of the class, you men top 30%

3. All blacks get the benefit of affirmative action grading.

 

[ShootSpeeders]

Yeah? That's funny, because I went to a majority black high school and there wasn't a single black student among the honor students, during the 4 years I was there. The honor students were all white and asian. It was a running joke among the black students; they thought it was funny.

It's that way at all schools. All the smarties are whites and asians. Blacks don't care since they know that thanks to black privilege they can either get a useless govt job thru affirmative action or go on welfare.

Because it's a picture of Michelle. The odds don't say shit. The odd though, people who aren't quite right in the head? Yeah. THEY say she is.

She's not.

She's 5'11" and who knows what she weighs. When a man is that height, that weight is logical. But this thread isn't actually about what sick minds think of black women, it's about the allegation of stupidity.

As for Mr. Trump, he already has moved on to questioning — with clear implications of racial preference — how Mr. Obama, who he charged had a poor record as an undergraduate, got into Harvard Law School. Mr. Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law, was the editor of the Law Review and later taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago. That’s not bad for a guy who didn’t deserve to get in to law school in the first place.

There are only limited ways to quell sleazy rumor-mongering when it gains traction. It would be nice if we could still rely on figures like the conservative legend William F. Buckley, or the dominant television interrogator Timothy J. Russert, both deceased. Taking a decidedly non-Cantor-esque approach in the 1960s, Mr. Buckley denounced the right-wing John Birch Society and ran it out of the conservative movement. A half-hour of informed and incisive questioning by Mr. Russert would have demolished Mr. Trump.

A Lie Is Born, and We All Know Where

Returning from Kenya with a sense of renewal, Obama entered Harvard Law School in 1988. The next year, he met with constitutional law professor Laurence Tribe and their discussion so impressed Tribe, that when Obama asked to join his team as a research assistant, the professor agreed. “The better he did at Harvard Law School and the more he impressed people, the more obvious it became that he could have had anything, said Professor Tribe in a 2012 interview with Frontline, “but it was clear that he wanted to make a difference to people, to communities.” That same year Obama joined the Chicago law firm of Sidley Austin as a summer associate and it was there he met Michelle Robinson, a young lawyer who was assigned to be his adviser. Not long after, the couple began dating. In February 1990, Obama was elected the first African-American editor of the Harvard Law Review. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law in 1991.

And Lawrence Tribe, who was so impressed by Obama? Here's his pedigree.

Laurence H. Tribe, the Carl M. Loeb University Professor and Professor of Constitutional Law at Harvard, has taught at its Law School since 1968 and was voted the best professor by the graduating class of 2000. The title “University Professor” is Harvard’s highest academic honor, awarded to just a handful of professors at any given time and to just 68 professors in all of Harvard University’s history. Born in China to Russian Jewish parents, Tribe entered Harvard in 1958 at 16; graduated summa cum laude in Mathematics (1962) and magna cum laude in Law (1966); clerked for the California and U.S. Supreme Courts(1966-68); received tenure at 30; was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences at 38 and to the American Philosophical Society in 2010; helped write the constitutions of South Africa, the Czech Republic, and the Marshall Islands; has received eleven honorary degrees, most recently a degree honoris causa from the Government of Mexico in March 2011 that was never before awarded to an American and an honorary D. Litt. From Columbia University; has prevailed in three-fifths of the many appellate cases he has argued (including 35 in the U.S. Supreme Court); was appointed in 2010 by President Obama and Attorney General Holder to serve as the first Senior Counselor for Access to Justice; and has written 115 books and articles, including his treatise, American Constitutional Law, cited more than any other legal text since 1950. Former Solicitor General Erwin Griswold wrote: “[N]o book, and no lawyer not on the [Supreme] Court, has ever had a greater influence on the development of American constitutional law,” and the Northwestern Law Review opined that no-one else “in American history has… simultaneously achieved Tribe’s preeminence… as a practitioner and… scholar of constitutional law.”

A few comments:

Facts cannot be racist. The offending Prof merely stated her observations. The rebuttal from the law school Dean was a carefully crafted non-denial. Yes, some "Blacks" do well, but the Bell Curve doesn't lie, and the Blacks who finished near the top of the class were extreme outliers.

Grading in law school is generally anonymous. The teacher does not know whose paper s/he is grading, absent some shenaningans.

Law Review is an honor in law school, and is usually based entirely on grades. If Blacks are well represented on Penn's Law Review, something is "up."

FYI, Barry Soetoro ' s college and law school grades remain under cover because they are not good, and because he got into Columbia and Harvard Law as a phony foreigner with a foreign passport.

Right, never happens: my high school had a third blacks, but there were no black honor students, and only one in the college prep class. There needs to be some truth-telling about the intelligence problem, not just the pretence that goes on forever. The leftists want to pretend every race is exactly the same, but all the races, black, white, and oriental, all know perfectly well what is really true, I would guess.

You can't deal with a problem by lying about it.

Nearly every american went to schools with some blacks and noticed that very very few of them were smart. Then there is also these faccts

1. Black-americans come in last in all standardized tests. Asian-americans do fine on all the tests so it's not due to cultural bias in the tests.

2. Africa is by far the poorest and most backward continent on the planet. All of black africa is now controlled by blacks and has been for decades so it's not due to racism.

3. No black has ever won a Science Nobel Prize unless you count one in 1979 for the semi-science of economics. They have won many nobels in non-brain fields like Peace and also in Literature so it is not due to racism.

4. Out of 1552 chess grandmasters in the world, only THREE are black.

They should have been at the graduation at the University of Alabama School of Engineering when my son graduated. 2 black students in the top 25. 1 of them was #3 in the class.

I don't think a single professor at one university is proof of much. And I doubt the professor in question could hold a candle to the intellectual capability of Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Hey tranny. Tyson is an affirmative action fraud. A very mediocre physicist, which means he's still fairly smart, but in no way a great physicist. All he does is write those silly "physics for poets" books.
