Clarence Thomas is one of the least likely people you’d expect to teach civil rights.
For decades, he has used his Supreme Court weight to oppose affirmative action, challenge federal voting rights protections and reject certain legal resolutions designed to address racial discrimination.
Yet the University of Texas School of Civic Leadership has tapped the U.S. Supreme Court justice to help teach a course on civil rights and the meaning of equality next spring. The university’s recent announcement raises the obvious question: Just what civil rights story will the students be getting?
Thomas will teach a seminar called “Equality and the New Birth of Freedom.” It will focus on the work of civil rights activists including Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. He will be on campus for two hours every morning for one week in February.
Lol. And Trump will teach a course on ethics.
And Hegseth will teach axe throwing.
What a joke, he’s an enemy of human rights.
Clarence “Uncle” Thomas?
I fully expect his lesson plan to include calling MLK Jr. the n-word along with a song and dance number about how segregation was “Kinda based actually.”
I have another question, is being on SCOTUS a part time job?
The conservative supreme court has continuously reduced its caseload. It has become a pretty fake job under the current court who only seems engaged in rubber stamping for their political party.
It’s more like a hobby it seems.
A lucrative side-hustle.
Always has been
I get it, but it sounds like the “teaching” gig is more of a junket
He will be on campus for two hours every morning for one week in February.
I’d like like to get an all-expense-paid trip somewhere warm and only have to work 2 hours a day…
Yeah, it is just part of the “more free money and stuff for the wealthy”-program.
It is amazing how much money and free stuff the wealthy gets thrown at them just for being wealthy.
Being rich is so affordable. And being poor is so expensive.
I’d like like to get an all-expense-paid trip somewhere warm and only have to work 2 hours a day…
sure… but Texas? no thanks
Hey! We’re a blue state now!
Maybe old Clarence is going to head to Hippie Hollow for a dip!
Austin is awesome
Aren’t they always denying cases because they don’t have time ?
The caseload alone justifies expanding the court.
or recieving multimillion dollar gifts from HARLAN crow a nazi for “favors”
How many luxury RVs are they paying him?
I would like to refer to the ancient adage of “Skinfolk ain’t always kinfolk”. I would like to submit this picture in particular as the photograph in its dictionary entry. All in favor?
Bill Clinton to teach about Monogamy at University of Arkansas
Donald Trump to teach ethics
Floyd Mayweather to teach literature
RFK Jr and Kid Rock will be hosting AA and Narcotics Annon meetings.
Elon will be teaching economics.
Steven and Katie Miller start teaching compassion and empathy classes
Pete Hegseth will teach leadership classes (haha this one is probably already real)
Kash Patel will teach a course in standing up to authoritarian figures who you admire to an alarmingly sychophantic degree
Alex Jones becomes a professor in unbiased critical thinking
Hegseth will teach axe throwing and skateboarding.
Why do you hate drummers?
Eat my axe!
Steven Seagal to teach martial arts
I mean he was teaching Aikido the way they commonly do, it may smell like bullshido but it’s still a recognized martial art AFAIK, he just looks ridiculous doing it for the last 20 years because of how lazy, sloppy, and out of shape everything about him is.
A better Steven Seagal example would be: Steven Seagal successfully being a badass in front of beloved old championship judo instructor (and then pooping himself)
But a better overall example is Jake Paul becoming a true WBA boxer, in Anthony Joshua’s weight class.
Jesus, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this picture, just read descriptions of it. Looking at it now, it’s like one of his eyes is looking in fear and the other eye is confusedly looking for the source of that ringing sound.
I also heard that he got his jaw broken. Looking at that defensive stance, head position, and open mouth, I’m gonna guess this picture is .5 seconds before mouth go crack?
Yeah Anthony Joshua fucked him up really good, really gave him what he deserved, and the Paul brothers did not handle this beating or the viral memes that came from it very well, huge bonus.
A legitimate study would be hilarious. Slap fight techniques, avoiding stairs, waddling fatly around corners, flinch shooting, the importance of mid plot stripper breaks, etc.
Wouldn’t he be better suited for courses like “Civil Wrongs” or “Corruption 101”?
I can already teach his class for him. Here is how civil rights work, courtesy of Clarence Thomas:
- Get invited to the supreme court.
- You get to decide what civil rights are, and what they aren’t.
- Make them up as you go, however you please.
That’s clearly what he’s learned from his own experiences, it would be dishonest for him to teach anything else.
You forgot “Receive bribes”.
They are gratuities!
They only actually get into details like that that at the post-graduate level, but if you read between the lines carefully enough it’s already implied by “however you please”.
Is he going to talk about the friends he turned in to the FBI when he pretended he was fighting for Civil Rights?
or about the civil rights hes tried so hard to take away from people in exchange for an RV
What next? Netanyahu lecturing on equality? Trump lecturing at MENSA?
He has his so screw yours black folk.
No matter your race, colour of skin you can be corrupt and be safe from any repercussions. What is more DEI than that.
