What Happens When You Criticize BLM on Campus




The title of this posting my seem strange because criticism of Black Lives Matter (BLM) is almost unheard of on a college campus. I'll buy a beer for any reader who can produce an article from a campus newspaper saying anything negative about BLM, the organization.

Cornell University law professor William Jacobson, who runs the conservative blog, Legal Insurrection, has learned the hard way what happens when you criticism BLM. I have written about his plight before, and I am cross-posting his most recent article in Real Clear Politics recounting his ordeal.

What happened to Dr Jacobson is an outrage, and it may be that only a strong letter writing campaign kept the university and the law school from driving him from his job. There are other William Jacobsons (though not many) out there, and they need the support of the public.
