A George Washington University professor who provoked outrage after admitting that she pretended to be Black has quit her job, school officials said Wednesday. Jessica Krug, a 38-year-old African history professor at GWU, was pulled from teaching duties amid calls for her to step down after she admitted to lying about her race in a blog post.

Jessica Krug, who is actually White and Jewish, said she had over the course of her adult life, “assumed identities within a Blackness that I had no right to claim: first North African Blackness, then US rooted Blackness, then Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness.”

Sportswriter Jason Whitlock talked about Krug and denounced white liberals as bigots in an interview with FOX News host Tucker Carlson on Wednesday.
