Only in America: Georgetown professor accused of 'traumatizing' conservative students after criticizing Antonin Scalia
Two Georgetown University law professors accused a fellow faculty member of "traumatizing" conservative students by criticizing Antonin Scalia. Professor Gary Peller objected to the university's "unmitigated praise" of the late Supreme Court justice, and called Scalia a blatantly partisan voice of "intolerance." Professors Randy Barnett and Nick Rosenkranz said the criticism had left young admirers of Scalia feeling "traumatized, hurt, shaken, and angry."
