Addressing students who voted for President Donald Trump, a Louisiana State University law professor told his class that black students do not feel “comfortable” or “welcome here,” according to a video on Gov. Jeff Landry’s Instagram page.
“This professor has defied the 76 million Americans who voted for President [Trump] – to silence and belittle those in his class who voted for our next president. This is not the kind of behavior we want at @LSU and our universities,” the Republican governor wrote in the Sunday post.
The video, dated Nov. 6, identifies the professor as Nicholas Bryner, (pictured) who teaches in the public university’s law school. He appears to be addressing students at the start of a class.
“If you voted for Trump and your rationale for voting for Trump [was] that you don’t like him personally but that you like his policies, I’ll just say this: [It’s] on you to prove that by the way you conduct yourself and the way you treat other people around you,” Bryner says in the video.
