Law Professor Speaks Out After Being Shamed for Writing Honest History of BLM

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe
Six months ago, William Jacobson, a professor at Cornell Law School and founder and publisher of Legal Insurrection, wrote two blog posts detailing the honest, but negative, history of Black Lives Matter. Students and faculty immediately called upon the school to take action against Jacobson for writing the posts. Jacobson joined the show on July 1 to explain why students and faculty were actively speaking out against him. He returns to the show today to share what transpired after more than a dozen student groups tried to mobilize a campus-wide boycott of his class and faculty quickly denounced him for his posts. We also cover these stories:
  • Attorney General William Barr says he believes Russia is behind last week’s hack into several federal agencies.
  • A massive spending bill, likely to be signed into law by President Trump soon, is poised to result in most Americans getting $600 from the federal government.
  • Trump’s campaign files a new petition with the Supreme Court asking that the court reverse several cases having to do with Pennsylvania’s mail-in ballots.
