“History is ugly, and you can’t filter it,” explains attorney and Emory Law adjunct professor Robert Saunooke of his use of the N-word in-class.
Critics, including some Emory University students, say Saunooke was insensitive and out of line when he used the word as part of a descriptor in a recent class.
It was one of two mentions if the word on the same day by an Emory adjunct. And that’s bringing the school a lot of attention. Unwarranted attention, says Saunooke.
