An Ivy League professor is under fire for suggesting Texas police didn’t respond sooner to last week’s school shooting in Uvalde because they “didn’t give a damn” about children who were largely Latino.

Anthea Butler, an associate professor of Religious Studies and Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, and an MSNBC contributor, made the shocking claim in a tweet that she later deleted. The charge came amid damning new information about the delayed response of local police, who reportedly waited more than an hour to storm a Robb Elementary School classroom where the shooter was slaughtering children.
