Leftist racial slurs against conservatives tolerated in higher ed?

 Just the News:

In California public universities, professors who refused to grade on a racial curve or censor racial slurs from a germane class discussion got removed from the classroom. A student got punished twice for the same set of private racist comments.

By contrast, a diversity official who used a racial slur against Clarence Thomas and wished for the death of the hospitalized Supreme Court justice, and a dean who called justices "sexual predators" and "racists," received mild administrative criticism.

A Federal Reserve slot likely awaits a Michigan State University economist who tried to cancel a University of Chicago peer for criticizing the Black Lives Matter organization over its support for the "defund the police" movement.

The incidents throw a spotlight on the differential treatment of race-related speech in higher education, in which even redacted slurs can provoke official sanctions.

The U.S. Senate voted 50-49 Tuesday to discharge MSU's Lisa Cook from the Banking Committee, which had deadlocked on her Federal Reserve nomination. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) voted against her on the committee but was absent for the procedural vote, Bloomberg reported.

Cook publicly advocated for UChicago economist Harald Uhlig's removal from the Journal of Political Economy, which he edits, and called on UChicago to remove his "access to students."

Uhlig said racial justice protesters in summer 2020 took advantage of the slain George Floyd and his family, and compared them to "flat-earthers and creationists." Cook compared this to the "racial harassment" her mother faced integrating college faculty "in the Jim Crow South."

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley accused Cook of opposing "the most basic protections of free speech and academic freedom on campuses during her academic career."

Just the News asked Cook to respond to the criticism. An email auto-reply directed queries to the White House and MSU. White House deputy press secretary Chris Meager asked for clarification from Just the News but has not since responded.

UCLA Director of Race and Equity Johnathan Perkins referred to Justice Thomas as "Uncle Thomas," a repurposed racial slur wielded against conservative blacks, in a March 25 tweet thread.

"No one wants to openly admit" that they "hope Clarence Thomas dies," wrote the former in-house lawyer for Harvard, also claiming Thomas "WASN'T ACTUALLY SICK" but was rather pre-textually hospitalized "to distract from the Ginni Thomas revelations" about his wife's Jan. 6 texts.

Double standards in the liberal faculty lounge should be hard to ignore by liberals do.  I suspect it comes from their own misguided sense of intellectual superiority.
