   As Trump attacks students who dare speak up for basic justice for Palestine, a student at the University of Florida Law School named Preston Damsky wrote a paper arguing that the Constitution only applies to white people & Jews and non-whites should be “abolished by any means necessary.”

   A Trump-nominated judge named John L. Badalamenti who teaches the class gave Damsky the highest grade and awarded him the Book prize.

   University of Florida Law School defended the decision as “free speech.”

     @QasimRashid "... white people and Jews ..." is only a temporary measure. How long would Jews remain in the chosen category -

     The holocaust, pogroms, expulsions through the centuries tells the end of this story. We are only ever a temporary people.

     I wonder how much this inclusion is due to the murderous Israeli regime.

     @CuriousMagpie @QasimRashid The constitution seem already not to apply for trans people.

     @QasimRashid I wonder if the paper had said only applies to non-white people and Palestinians would it have been as equally brilliant.
     Maybe the problem is a constitution that allowed slavery?
