Amy Wax
Life has a couple constants: Taxes, big wheels keep on turning, and Amy Wax is gonna use her tenure to share scholarship she likely picked up from a Klan rally. That said, the Bat Signal has been shone upon the latest goofy-ass aside she gave on national television, and a Dark Knight must rise to the occasion.
Putting up the @atlblog signal but, really, NONE OF THIS WILL STOP until students of color stop matriculating to @pennlaw and donors stop giving money to help fund this professor who has been openly racist for decades. https://t.co/l73ITnSAGF

How The Law Office Of Stephen L. Thomas Jr. Reclaimed Valuable Hours And Strengthened Client Care With 8am
Founded in 2017, the Baltimore-based Law Office of Stephen L. Thomas Jr. unified case management, communication, and payments with 8am—saving 10–20 hours a week for clients, trials, and growth.
Noted. Penn Law’s Professor Umbridge umbridged it up again with the guy who thinks LSAT scores are an accurate Learned Hand O’ Meter™️.
Now can we stop talking about her? I’m serious — I can no longer bear typing anything resembling “Breaking News: Amy Wax is the aunt David Duke has to give a disclaimer for at Thanksgiving dinner.” I’m tired of hearing what she has to say and I’m sure you’re tired of reading it. Amy is the Tony the Tiger of virulent racism but instead of “They’re Grrrrrreat!” you just get two minutes of her complaining about Blacks and Asians. I’m pretty sure you could ask her about the weather and you’d get something along the lines of “Oh, the day is nice. At least it would be if not for the wind. Must be those Blacks in Chicago up to no good.” If I had to choose between singing Robert Kelly’s greatest hits at my boss’s child’s 13th birthday party or listening to Amy Wax poetic about how broken minorities are, cue Honey Love on the karaoke machine. I am declaring a moratorium on any more hot takes from anyone named Amy from here on out about anything. I don’t even want to hear your opinion on the show Narcos if you share your namesake with the professor. Where are the Beths or the Kathys? Is there a Dolly in the house? Parton preferably but at this point I’m just desperate for someone else to have the microphone.
She’s not changing and Penn likely won’t either unless people start putting their money where their politics are and stop attending one of the main schools that got their financial start from slavery or US News ties law school rankings to how many of the staff are quoted by actual Nazis. And it has to be a negative correlation, by the way.
