Frustrated by the role Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas played in overturning Roe v. Wade, progressively minded students at George Washington University (GW) launched a petition calling for a revoking of Thomas’s teaching position at the institution’s law school.
Thomas has lectured at GW since 2011. According to the university, he is set to teach this fall a constitutional law seminar aimed at helping students get “a more complete story” of famous Supreme Court cases by exploring “additional facts” that are lesser known about the social and political context surrounding the court’s decisions. The class is co-taught with Greg Maggs, a professor who clerked for Thomas and retired Justice Anthony Kennedy.
