Thomas. In an email Tuesday, Provost Christopher Bracey and GW Law Dean Dayna Bowen Matthew, while disavowing Thomas’s views, wrote that the university honors “academic freedom and freedom of expression and inquiry.” They added that it’s not the university’s job to “shield” students from opinions they might find offensive, they said. Hear, hear.
For what it’s worth, I couldn’t disagree more with Thomas on some matters. But as a reporter first, I’m always interested in what other people think, say and do. As my late father-in-law Bratton Davis used to say, “I already know what I know. But if I’m talking, I won’t know what you know.”
