Student activists who circulated an online petition calling for Justice Clarence Thomas to be fired are taking credit for his recent decision not to teach at the university.
“Guys. We did it. Clarence Thomas will no longer be teaching at George Washington University Law School. Despite the outward facade that Thomas was simply ‘unavailable’ to teach the class this Fall semester, the truth is that we are the reason he is not teaching at our school anymore,” wrote Jon Kay, who launched the online effort.
News broke Wednesday that Justice Thomas would not teach a law seminar at George Washington University following an uproar from students who object to the conservative justice’s rulings.
