    A University of Florida student won an academic honor after he argued in a school paper that the Constitution applies only to white people. The student also made statements against Jews.

    The granting of the award set off months of turmoil on the law school campus.

          Of fucking course it's a Trump appointed judge who taught the class and gave out the reward.

          Students need to riot until the reward is rescinded and, preferably, the Judge who taught the class is removed from the position. Make both of those motherfuckers terrified to show their faces on campus. Nazi pieces of shit.

          Fuck the weak ass interim dean for trying to defend this on the grounds of "we have to remain neutral. He has the right to free speech". Fuck that "we must tolerate the intolerant" bullshit.

          Thankfully, good news, the student was exposed for espousing Nazi rhetoric on Twitter and was subsequently suspended and is barred from campus. He is trying to challenge the suspension which is putting him at risk of expulsion. I fucking hope they throw the book at this Nazi fuck.

            Spain helped put clothes on the backs and guns in thehands of the soilders to ensure they won the revolution against the British. While John Adams grabbed much of his influence on the laws being created from Spanish influence. Things like Taxation without representation Adams and Locke directly source the Spanish. "Life Liberty and Property".. was sourced from Spanish rightings/law.

            Throw in that Spain owned what became the Louisiana Purchase from 1762 to 1801 (in which the American Revolution occurred) I doubt they were looked upon as not people. France, Spain, American Revolutionaries vs Great Britain was the over arcing war at the time.

            We only bought it from France because it was traded right before back to France for Tuscany, a treaty with Napoleon where the king of Spain wanted to give Tuscany to his daughter.

                  "I'm not like an ax murderer or anything." No, you're worse. You might face consequences if you kill a couple of racial minorities in that manner. Instead, you're going to try and kill or ruin the lives of all racial minorities in this country. My race, being white people, stole and murdered to get this land. That doesn't make it ours. To pretend that it is, even worse, that it's wrong for people to peacefully come here doing none of the things of our ancestors, is unbelievably wrong. The fact that are grown ass men that haven't developed basic empathy or moral compasses, baffles me.

                        Where is the paper?

                        If this is indeed a high quality legal paper then it'll highlight the weaknesses in the legal foundation of us which enables such positions. If it legally possible, somebody will do it.

                          I mean, it's an honest start, but then goes on to ignore the progress of history that's occured from that point. Doing so to push a "traditionalist" racist agenda.

                            I say these type of traditionalists aren't really living their ideologies until they die at 25, in a cave with no electricity, from a disease that's long since been cured.

                              That's not how the right views the education system.

                              Some view it as a source of leftist indoctrination, and this as a rare win for 'their' side, in a sea of socialist brainwashing and woke DEI genocidal messages.

                              Those individuals will in turn see it as a way to push 'their' ideological culture war messages.

                                I studied law in college. I interned in a high- powered legal defense office. I've met countless lawyers over the years. There are many, MANY wonderful lawyers out there working incredibly hard to better the world and protect disenfranchised people.

                                    @Davriellelouna I've seen this legal framework before. It's called Originalism, and Originalism is voodoo bullshit. It's basically, "Because Washington enslaved people, literally anything that doesn't explicitly say otherwise must mean the same thing." It's pre-determined, self-fulfilling, completion-backwards legal forensics, and I say again, IT IS BULLSHIT.

                                    How do I know? Not just on its own obvious terms, but because the very same people will say the opposite when it suits them. They lie.

                                        Of fucking course it's a Trump appointed judge who taught the class and gave out the reward.

                                        Students need to riot until the reward is rescinded and, preferably, the Judge who taught the class is removed from the position. Make both of those motherfuckers terrified to show their faces on campus. Nazi pieces of shit.

                                        Fuck the weak ass interim dean for trying to defend this on the grounds of "we have to remain neutral. He has the right to free speech". Fuck that "we must tolerate the intolerant" bullshit.

                                        Thankfully, good news, the student was exposed for espousing Nazi rhetoric on Twitter and was subsequently suspended and is barred from campus. He is trying to challenge the suspension which is putting him at risk of expulsion. I fucking hope they throw the book at this Nazi fuck.

                                        I honestly think those people think that dissent is a sign that they are doing what’s right. That’s why they invented the term “social justice warrior,” when in most places that’s just how society works: by holding people accountable.

                                          In his capstone paper for the class, Mr. Damsky argued that the framers had intended for the phrase “We the People,” in the Constitution’s preamble, to refer exclusively to white people. From there, he argued for the...

                                          I mean, it's an honest start, but then goes on to ignore the progress of history that's occured from that point. Doing so to push a "traditionalist" racist agenda.

                                          If only those framers provided a way to update the Constitution in case things change.
