Georgetown Law is loudly refusing to comply with racist demands to end DEI. And they're doing it for reasons rooted in their faith.
Last month, Trump's handpicked U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin, sent a threatening letter to Dean William Treanor of Georgetown Law -- a private, Jesuit, and Catholic university.
In it, Martin demanded that Treanor immediately eliminate all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) teaching from their curriculum. Georgetown's students would be locked out of fellowship, internship, or employment opportunities if Treaner did not obey.
Dean Treanor responded yesterday -- and he didn't hold back:
"Given the First Amendment's protection of a university's freedom to determine its own curriculum and how to deliver it, the constitutional violation behind this threat is clear, as is the attack on the University's mission as a Jesuit and Catholic institution."
It's important to show solidarity with those who stand up to Trump. Let's show Dean Treanor that grassroots Catholics and their ecumenical allies are deeply grateful for this bold witness. Add your name to our thank you letter now:
