⭕️ Black philosophy professor sues Texas State after firing over off-campus Palestine talk Idris Robinson, a tenure-track philosophy professor and the only Black philosophy professor at Texas State University, has sued university officials alleging his constitutional rights were violated after the school terminated his contract. The termination followed a social media campaign by pro-Israel activists over a talk he gave at a North Carolina anarchist book fair in June 2024, the Guardian reported Wednesday. Robinson did not identify himself as affiliated with Texas State during the talk. Robinson's lawsuit alleges violations of his First and Fourteenth Amendment rights, and he is seeking a temporary restraining order to halt his firing in May.
