Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas decided not to teach a law seminar at George Washington University following an uproar from students who object to the conservative justice’s rulings.
Justice Thomas’ co-teacher Gregory Maggs reportedly sent an email announcing the decision, according to Fox News Digital.
“Unfortunately, I am writing with some sad news: Justice Thomas has informed me that he is unavailable to co-teach the seminar this fall,” Mr. Maggs wrote. “I know that this is disappointing.”
The two have taught the class together for roughly a decade, according to reports.
It’s unclear why Justice Thomas decided not to continue teaching, though he has been targeted by left-wing activists protesting outside his home in the aftermath of the high court reversing the national right to abortion.
