A University of Florida student won an academic honor after he argued in a school paper that the Constitution applies only to white people. The student also made statements against Jews.
The granting of the award set off months of turmoil on the law school campus.

Every lawyer I’ve ever interacted with has been a total piece of feces
I studied law in college. I interned in a high- powered legal defense office. I’ve met countless lawyers over the years. There are many, MANY wonderful lawyers out there working incredibly hard to better the world and protect disenfranchised people.
I only said I have never met a lawyer who is a good person. I’m glad you have
I know a public defender who’s pretty good.
Good for you. Anyone involved with family law in Georgia (the state in the US) seems to be garbage
The profession tends to select for sociopathy.
Sociopathy doesn’t exist, psychology does not know such diagnosis.
Edit: I guess y’all really want to continue spreading cool sounding words and staying ignorant.
I bet you’re a blast at parties.
Sometimes.
Ugh. I guess you’re very barely on the fringe of being technically correct, which makes your “staying ignorant” comment all the more frustrating, because I’m certain you won’t appreciate or understand your ironic arrogance.
In the DSM-5, the term “sociopath” is not an official diagnosis. Instead, it is often used interchangeably with Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD). ASPD is a mental health condition characterized by a persistent disregard for the rights and feelings of others, often involving deceitfulness, impulsivity, and a lack of remorse.
I know what people mean when they say it, just wanted people to know that it’s incorrect.
What kind of arrogance is that? I honestly don’t know. Or are you saying that using correct diagnosis doesn’t matter?
I honestly did not expect that kind of reaction, I thought I was just helping others learn. So yeah, my staying ignorant comment is very apt and not ironically arrogant.
And your “barely on the fringe of being technically correct” is ridiculous because I’m not only technically correct, sociopath simply isn’t a diagnosis. If you tell that word to a psychologist, they’ll internally roll their eyes, because that term doesn’t exist in psychology.
I spotted the lawyer!
Nah, my partner is a psychologist.
@PattyMcB EVERY one? That seems statistically unlikely. Are you sure there isn’t some other relevant factor involved?
That I’ve interacted with? YES.
This is my experience. You’re a lawyer, aren’t you?
@PattyMcB No, I’m not. But I am a fucking grown up. And apparently, you’re not.
There’s a saying: If you meet an asshole, then you’ve met an asshole. If everyone you meet is an asshole, then YOU’RE the asshole.
A lot of people are assholes. A lot of lawyers are assholes. But not ALL lawyers are assholes. But it might seem that way, if you are.
Anyway, I don’t imagine you’ll ever have anything to say worth reading, so see ya. Hope your life gets better.
Same here, I’ve yet to meet someone who studied law or business administration who doesn’t have some weird energy about them.
The ones I’ve met have all been selfish and/or narcissistic
