'A University of Texas psychology professor is apologizing to her students after including a question on a quiz that stated "wealthy white men" are "most likely to repeatedly violate the rights of others."

The quiz was a part of Professor Kirsten Bradbury’s Personality Psychology course and asked students which demographic is most likely to be diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder.

Bradbury was the recipient in 2017 of the University of Texas Board of Regents’s highest teaching honor, which comes with a $25,000 cash prize. Her biography on the university’s website indicates that her academic interests include "parenting stress," "firearms and firearm safety," and "firearm-related parenting."'
