Justice Thomas reveals this elite institution is ‘off limits’ to him: ‘That's the world we're in’

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas recently claimed that certain law schools and colleges were completely "off limits" for him and other conservatives to visit.

"You know, I have never been to Stanford Law School ," Thomas told Peter Robinson during an on-stage discussion hosted by the Hoover Institute.

He went on to say that current conservative thought leaders, like himself, are largely unwelcome from high education institutions like Stanford Law School .

"That's the reality," Thomas said.

"That's the world we're in, because there’s certain places that are just presumptively off limits.

This is the way it works.

And that's true.

I mean, I've been to Yale Law School, but that's the way it works.

And to say it isn't, is to lie." CLARENCE THOMAS WARNS AMERICA: LIBERTY DIES WHEN WE CHOOSE COMFORT OVER COURAGE The comments from the high court justice came amid ongoing criticism from conservative pundits that college campuses have become intolerant to right-wing ideas and that students are being indoctrinated by liberal professors.

Thomas alleged that, if not for YouTube, the ideas and works of American economist Thomas Sowell, who profoundly shaped his political views, would be lost to the younger generation of students because some people's views are "unpalatable" to the student body.

"And so what these kids are getting is all that stuff [that] is not there," Thomas said, referring to colleges.

"It's just on YouTube.

It's available to everybody, and they get to make up their own mind." A Stanford spokesperson rejected Thomas' notion that the law school was "off-limits" for him to visit.

"We would be honored to host Justice Thomas at Stanford Law School," a spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
