Nobody's Defending Whoopi Either...

Whoopi Goldberg apologizes—nothing to see here, we all make mistakes Ilya Shapiro apologizes—he must be suspended and investigated

------------------

All men are created equal in the eyes of God. That's Catholic teaching 101. If Ilya believes that black women are lessers, he don't belong there. It wasn't how he phrased it; the man has a history of controversial, selective remarks like that. OF course, he is free to express them...

Georgetown Law need not make him the face of their program, as executive director though. The intimidation factor of all the white male law profs, and select pundits, making Ilya out to be the victim here is laughable.

Somebody else surely will hire him if the Catholics take a pass? In divisive times, you don't need to poison the discourse on campus by hiring somebody who puts his own career ahead of the institution. There are plenty of qualified black women who could more ably staff that administrative position. That's what the letter signers maybe miss, but Georgetown knows...
