If that's the full extent of his comments, then HR & the school president have a legal problem that could become an accreditation problem.

you can, but things you say do have consequence... i just don't think that what he had to say rose to the level of the State of Louisiana basically censuring his speech...
should he have said it? probably not... i wouldn't go on a tirade about poiltics in a public forum like that, but that's me..

Why does the judge use “certain” in this comment?

I don’t think I have seen it phrased like this before.

Exactly. Given the diatribe this guy just went on, can you really say that a conservative Republican law student would feel comfortable having an honest dialogue in his class? I’d say those students now have their speech suppressed.
I go to Loyola law School in New Orleans and this guy would fit right in over here. As a conservative, middle aged, white male, I feel like I am in enemy territory every day at school.

Well, I’d make 2 arguments in that regard:
1) The threshold isn’t (and shouldn’t be) that their grades felt threatened. It should be whether their free speech is threatened or not. I would say common sense tells you that if a professor just proclaimed himself to be a staunch democrat followed by “eff the president and the governor,” I’m not chomping at the bit to announce any Republican viewpoints in that class;
2) good luck getting students to come testify against a professor who’s teaching a class they are enrolled in. I mean, come on….who in their right mind is going to do that? The professor holds all the cards here.

Why is there an expectation that you have no consequences for your speech?
I could never say that kind of vulgar language at work and not see repercussions. Most of you would have consequences to deal with.
Why is this guy different? Why is academia different from the rest of the professional world where vulgarity and emotional outbursts are allowed?

and see that's pretty open to discussion... promoting a political agenda, the way i'd interpret that, is stumping for a particular candidate/ideology, trying to sway students/staff in a certain direction, campaigning/advocating for a particular person/ideology, etc...
not just voicing an opinion, even if political in nature...

He said governor with a hard R sound. If he had said govna everyone would know he was joking

if "middle aged", what's the gameplan for the rest of life, after taking 3/4 years of intensive study and a couple hundred grand to get a JD? And recouping the cost of the degree as well as enough money on top of that to make the switch worthwhile?

Wtf? Is that really one of his exam hypos?
Posted on 2/12/25 at 6:01 pm to Columbus
That’s about par for the course on his exam hypos - and not atypical of law school test questions, in general. Long rambling bullshite (just like his lectures).
Torts is probably the most straightforward subject in 1L and he couldn’t teach it for shite when I had him almost 15 years ago.
Nice guy. Awful educator.

I am lucky to have studied engineering and stem topics where I can count on exactly 3 fingers the number of times I heard political commentary across undergrad and grad school.
Posted on 2/12/25 at 6:24 pm to Columbus
The only person who’s ever sat for a criminal law exam in law school and thinks that hypo is abnormal is Jeff Landry.
That should tell you he’s trying to turn it into culture war red meat.
