Critical race theory has gone from minority view to mandatory view at many law schools

CRT is a sure guarantee that the law school’s standards existeth not.

For students of marginal ability, it’s an ideal place.
For students interested in real law, avoid at all costs.

And, of course, avoid grads of that place. In practice, and in politics. (Unless, one is interested in corrupt, venal, self-centered, illogical, and probably unlawful “law”.

Hopefully, we’ll have an approved disposal method for these types of lawyers.

Don’t fret this nonsense. I’ve been a lawyer for a long time. Nothing about CRT is going to infect the profession. Remember, for every side pushing an issue touching on CRT, there is the other side. Hell, I bet only 10% of law students ever takes a course with CRT front and center.

Ask the Asians that are trying to get into said law schools if they are being discriminated against!!

Uh ohhhh.

Lawyers are a dime a dozen. We should pass an amendment that forbids them from running for political office.

[sport]

It has my vote.

Maybe so.

But:

<>At Boston College Law School this semester, a constitutional law professor asked students: “Who does not think we should scrap the constitution?” According to a student in the class, not a single person raised their hand.<>

As I see it, law students are so much as taught the law isn't the law.

Equal Justice Before Law

These may be deeper waters than the author realizes. CRT is one of the offshoots of overall Critical Theory, most definitely Marxian in origin and popularized by such Frankfurt School luminaries as Marcuse and Horkheimer. Critical Legal Theory is actually quite a bit older than CRT and its popularization in major law schools is responsible for the ability of social activists such as George Soros to find candidates with whom to infest the prosecutorial system, candidates who view law as a weapon of class struggle. The fundamental assumption of Critical Law is that law itself is a form of class oppression, and it is interpreted two ways: one might say for the underclassmen it is a form of fighting oppression with oppression, the net result being a sort of stasis in social justice. More advanced (or critical, in the old sense) students realize that it is, in fact, an embracement of oppression that does not result in any equity, but merely shifts the oppressor and oppressed around. That act of manipulation is itself a nearly ultimate expression of political power and is the basis of an authoritarian state.

This becomes CRT when the classes are identified, as racist activists have insisted in the United States, with race, specifically black and white. That is not necessarily the case in Critical Legal Theory, whose Marxian roots are in economic classes rather than racial, but any class signifier will suffice. One popular example is the class of non-smokers and the class of smokers: legislation here has resulted in a formerly oppressive class, the smokers (recall being trapped in an office full of them), having their privileges revoked by the non-smokers and relegated to practicing their class signifier first in the hallways and later out in the rain. What resulted from that legislative overturn is not equity at all. Where the class signifier is sex, the formerly oppressive Male class has had that privilege overturned in law by a newly oppressive Female class - again, equity is not the result, nor was it intended to be.

What results is not in any normal interpretation justice, it is an artificial order posed on a potentially restive society to keep it in line with the programs and intentions of the authoritarian class which exists quite outside of the strictures of the theory that gives it that control.
