Law Professor Shuts Down ‘All Lives Matter’ With An Epic Response To Her Racist Students
Never underestimate the wit of a good (law) professor. Especially when trying to outplay them on something they know the rules of all too well.
Back in 2016, the Whittier Law School professor named Patricia Leary was surprised by an unexpected letter of complaint from her students who berated her for wearing a Black Lives Matter shirt. She was scolded for making the students “subjected to indoctrination” and “extremely inflammatory” behavior when according to the letter, “to someone who is charged to teach criminal law, it should be abundantly clear that all lives matter.”
But the professor was more than glad to respond, point by point, ripping every single argument apart. In a series of her skillful refutes to the student’s premises, Prof. Leary demonstrated just how easy it is to debunk those weak arguments.
This viral letter of complaint from concerned students on their law professor resurfaced from back in 2016
Prof. Leary issued an epic response ripping their arguments apart point after point
The professor’s viral response to the students’ letter appeared on Imgur back on April 26, 2016. The Insider Higher Ed has identified the law professor as Patricia Leary, a veteran teacher with 20+ years of experience at Whittier Law School.
According to her biography, Prof. Leary is “a Distinguished Teaching Professor. She sees her life’s work as student-centered, both inside and outside of the classroom.”
It also states that she is “deeply committed to teaching students to think clearly and critically about law, to helping students to refine the art of legal reasoning and analysis,” and in what we’ve seen so far, she has clearly given us a masterclass of thinking in this.
And this is what people had to say
I am a former competitive debater. Reading this is like porn for me. You go, professor Leary!
Haha, me too! But less like porn and more like a gourmet buffet. Finally, something to chew on! Nom nom nom. Am content now.

So are you saying that people should just shut up about police brutality? Also, have you not noticed that there are many races participating in the BLM protests? Maybe the other races have legitimate negative experiences with police and are, indeed, protesting. Then you commented below that you are black, yet you say "we" don't need t-shirts. Who's 'we?'
Ignoring Bonzed Daddy is probably best. A basement dweller at best.
Load More Replies...That student letter, whenever written, proves only one thing: The fastest way to find a secretly racist person is to tell them another race *matters*. Any bets the author(s) would have said, "We're not racists BUT..." ?
At no point did I specify the race. You have drawn your own conclusions on what I meant. The logic holds. The fact you dislike the logic speaks to your thought process, not mine. Peace.
