"George Washington University has rejected calls from some of its students to fire Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas from his teaching position or to cancel any of his classes in the wake of the court’s recent abortion ruling. Students created an online petition over the weekend in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, citing the justice’s concurring opinion that said the court should reexamine its past rulings on contraception and same-sex marriage. However, the school responded to the petition and noted it would not fire Thomas because his comments do not violate the university’s academic freedom guidelines. The petition also cited Thomas’s wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, as a reason to be terminated for her “part in the attempted coup in January of 2021,” likely referring to her correspondence supporting efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election. More than 6,200 people have signed the petition since it was posted on Sunday, and organizers have urged students to send emails to the dean of the university to demand that Thomas be fired."
