Washington Post op-ed argues Georgetown right to fire Ilya Shapiro over 'racist' tweet

Washington Post contributor Paul Butler argued that Georgetown Law School was right to fire Ilya Shapiro over his tweet about the Supreme Court.

On Jan. 26, Shapiro, a Georgetown lecturer, published what he later admitted was a "poorly worded" tweet regarding President Biden's pledge to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court. While he pushed Biden to select progressive, Obama-appointed Judge Sri Srinivasan, an Indian-American, Shapiro lamented that Biden’s pledge would force him to choose a "lesser black woman."
