Students at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School are calling for the suspension of a law professor who they say has repeatedly expressed racist beliefs about Black and Asian populations.
"As descendants of enslaved ancestors, immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers and persons holding multiple identities among these, we reject Amy Wax's hateful rhetoric that we in our communities are dangerous, inferior, do not belong have made fewer contributions and are inherently less able to utilize a law because of our skin colors or heritage," their statement read.
On Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Today" earlier this month, Wax spoke about her views against people criticizing racism in America.
"There is just a tremendous amount of resentment and shame of nonwestern peoples against Western peoples for Western people's outsized achievements and contributions," she said.
