At the University of Florida, the story of the book award took a dramatic turn soon after Ms. McAlister defended the decision to honor Mr. Damsky with it. It was then, in February, that Mr. Damsky opened an account on X and began posting racist and antisemitic messages.

After he wrote in late March that Jews must be “abolished by any means necessary,” the university suspended him, barred him from campus and stepped up police patrols around the law school. He is now challenging the punishment, which could result in his expulsion.

Mr. Damsky’s hateful posts drew shock and fear in some corners of the university. According to Hillel International, the university has the largest number of Jewish undergraduate students in the country.

Its student body is 48 percent white, 22 percent Hispanic, 10 percent Asian and 5 percent Black, according to school data.

Mr. Damsky said his ideas were well formed before he started law school, shaped by reading authors like Sam Francis, a white nationalist, and Richard Lynn, who argued for white racial superiority and eugenics.

He grew up around Los Angeles and studied history at the University of California, Santa Barbara; he wanted to become a prosecutor, he said, after watching progressive-minded California prosecutors adopt policies that he believed were soft on crime.

Another buried lede is that the dude proceeded to say a bunch of *very* antisemitic shit on X, further demonstrating that this admin does not give a single solitary fuck about antisemitism.

If - IF - Democrats are allowed to win elections after this, there need to be impeachments, firings, shunnings, and prosecutions.

Guess who doesn’t have the stomach for that?

Truly incredible the way they sneak that one in, when it should be a juggernaut scandal. That's just the NYT for you!

The anrticle includes photos of two professors commenting (or not) on the paper which argues non-whites are not citizens. It does not, however, include one of Preston Damsky, who wrote the paper, or of John L. Badalamenti, the professor and federal judge who gave the paper an award. Why is that?
