Welp. What About ANY Of This Could POSSIBLY Be Surprising To Paul, In Any Manner? He Nurtured It!

Paulie Mirengoff is so precious. He and Hinderaker and Johnson largely invented the claim that somehow whyte boys were the ones primarily being discriminated against — at elite law schools.

They went on to fund strike suits alleging just that. Those suits have all largely… failed.

In fact, the Supremes recently reaffirmed that considering the “whole person” was, and is an appropriate way to decide on admissions.

And yet, due in no small part to Hineraker / Mirengoff lies, Tangerine 2.0 has made lawless attacks on academic institutions a centerpiece of his new “policies”. So much so, that his DoJ “attack chihuahua“, Mr. Martin, has taken to threatening law school deans with DoJ investigations. Charming.

And yet, only now does Paul clutch his pearls — fretting that Trump and Martin are on exactly the kind of Ketamine we long warned him about. Hilarious.

Sit down Paul.

I’ll quote only the Dean’s excellent reply, in part:

As a Catholic and Jesuit institution, Georgetown University was founded on the principle that serious and sustained discourse among people of different faiths, cultures, and beliefs promotes intellectual, ethical, and spiritual understanding. For us at Georgetown, this principle is a moral and educational imperative.

It is a principle that defines our mission as a Catholic and Jesuit institution. Georgetown University also prohibits discrimination and harassment in its programs and activities and takes seriously its obligation to comply with all federal and local laws….

Your letter challenges Georgetown’s ability to define our mission as an educational institution. It inquires about Georgetown Law’s curriculum, and asserts that your office will not hire individuals from schools where you find the curriculum “unacceptable.” The First Amendment, however, guarantees that the government cannot direct what Georgetown and its faculty teach and how we teach it. The Supreme Court has continually affirmed that among the freedoms central to a university’s First Amendment rights are its abilities to determine, on academic grounds, who may teach, what to teach, and how to teach it.

This is a bedrock principle of constitutional law — recognized not only by the courts, but by the administration in which you serve. The Department of Education confirmed law week that it cannot restrict First Amendment rights and that it is statutorily prohibited from “exercising control over the content of school curricula.”

Your letter informs me that your office will deny our students and graduates government employment opportunities until you, as Interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, approve our curriculum. Given the First Amendment’s protection of a university’s freedom to determine its own curriculum and how to deliver it, the constitutional violation behind this threat is clear, as is the attack on the University’s mission as a Jesuit and Catholic institution.

….We look forward to your confirming that any Georgetown-affiliated candidates for employment with your office will receive full and fair consideration….

Paul — seriously. Do f#ck right off. YOU. Are. The. Crux. Of. The. Problem.

Not. The. Solution.
