We read:
"Widener University School of Law is attempting to fire longtime criminal law professor Lawrence Connell by charging him with dubious violations of the school's harassment code, such as using the term "black folks" in class and using the names of law school Dean Linda L. Ammons and other law school colleagues as characters in class hypotheticals.
Although a faculty panel has already recommended that Widener drop its "dismissal for cause" proceedings against Connell, administrators have reportedly induced students to issue further complaints under a new process that forces Connell to keep the details of the proceedings secret. Connell, who is represented by attorney Thomas S. Neuberger, also requested help from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE).
"Not only do the charges against Professor Connell appear to be either unsubstantiated or totally meritless, but even after the faculty refused to assent to his firing Widener has found a new, 'confidential' procedure to use against him," FIRE President Greg Lukianoff said. "Professor Connell has already addressed the charges, but now he cannot publicly discuss the details of his prosecution out of fear of punishment for 'retaliatory action' if he reveals them."
Widener originally charged Connell with a long list of supposed violations, many of which were redundant. Among them was his use of the term "black folks" to describe African-Americans, which Widener apparently sees as necessarily racist despite the fact that it is widely used by people including President Barack Obama.

It sounds like he is a bit of a joker and the humorless Leftists have got it in for him as a result. He has tenure so they cannot just fire him willy nilly

Aren't blacks, black folks? And if "White folks" is ok, then why not black folks. BTW, has anyone seen a report coming from the Congressional White Caucus?
How about we start with the black community setting an example by not calling each other "nigger".
"Black Folks" is extremely innocuous, and could only be considered racist or insensitive if you are looking for a scapegoat.
@White-On, you are 100% correct. Or a National Association for the Advancement of White People? Or the celebration of White History Month? or the United Caucasian College Fund?
The fact is that racism is extremely one-sided rife double-standards. But those double-standards will never be eliminated because it's what gives a vocal minority power.
I guess "tenure" doesn't apply here. I'm not surprised.

So-called racism has become big business for many blacks. Where would professional race pimps like Al $harptongue and Je$$e Jackass be without it? Broke, that's where. Then there are the jewish lawyers who fill their pockets thanks to alleged racism. It sure beats working!
