I see no hope for America's future. The Rule of Law will eventually be totally gone. Progressives have been ruthlessly taking over all aspects of our society. We may win some fights in the short-term, but they have the commanding heights of the major institutions of society. Such a pity. America has been a great experiment in individual freedom grounded in Judeo-Christian values.

The Rule of Law is gone now. It has been gone since the Clintons. If we had Rule of Law, the Clintons would be in prison.

[Luke21]

They have been enforcing diversity training and multicultural studies for years. Now it is genocide training against whites.

[Lurkinanloomin]

The Constitution is obviously racist if the founders tried to prevent the Kenyan from Indonesia from being President just because he was born with foreign nationality...../s

[Lurkinanloomin]

The rule of law is being killed by Assistant Democrats assisting the Democrats.

Not all progressives wear D jerseys.
Some of them wear R jerseys.

[blueunicorn6]

We are not a nation of laws.

We are a nation of lawyers.

[Mr. Mojo]

< they have the commanding heights of the major institutions of society. >>

Academia, big media, big tech, and now even the military. All dedicated to fighting a war on our culture, our traditions, our history, our Founders, biology, and white males. And they’re winning.

[cgbg]

We are all Zimbabwe now.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

How the hell did these commies infiltrate and infect so many universities today with their BS?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

“...duty as lawyers to “eliminate racism.”

Once again with the phantom bullcrap.

There is racism all over the place just take our word for it.

There is man made climate change all over the world just take our word for it.

Donald Trump has committed many crimes just take our word for it.

Donald Trump colluded with the Russians just take our word for it.

The 2020 election was legit, Joe Biden the moron of Washington actually did get more votes than any candidate in history, just take our word for it.

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

All you moron Republicans don't even understand "Critical Race Theory," so STOP criticizing it and start studying it and taking courses in it!

As far as I can tell, these are the fundamental precepts of Critical Race Theory:

1. The black family structure has collapsed (something like 75% of black children are born in one-parent households) which is a self-inflicted calamity of epic proportion.
2. Generally speaking, there is also a self-inflicted disrespect for education, teachers, law enforcement, and police officers in all major urban areas throughout the country.
3. In inner-city areas, too many people praise and revere anti-police rappers, drug dealers, gang-banging gangsters, criminals, etc., and want lesser (or no) sentences for the crimes they commit. And many eyewitnesses refuse to testify against criminals. Simultaneously, those same people constantly complain about inner-city violence and scream that "the government" isn't doing anything about it (almost all big-city mayors are miserably failed, leftist Democrats).
4. The above caused the nationwide, ongoing epidemic of violent urban crime. (SEE Chicago, violent Black Lives Matter wild thug rioters, all big-city urban areas, etc.)
5. Democrats/RINOs have blamed, currently blame, and will continue blaming all of that on "systemic racism," slavery, "institutional racism," whitey, etc., even though the big majority of American black families had stable, two-parent households about 3/4 century ago. The self-inflicted part happened after that period (e.g., the leftist Democrat President LBJ's War on Poverty and The Great Welfare State) ... could that have had anything to do with it? Way to go, Democrat politicians, nice job "helping out." I have a dream, that someday all black Americans will finally realize that Democrat politicians - black, white, purple, or green - couldn't care less about black Americans, they only care about getting re-elected. I also have a dream that someday, black Americans will start voting Republican (but not RINO). The vast majority of black Americans voted for the leftist, senile Sleepy Joe, so I realize it's a very far-fetched dream, but you never know.

So, Republicans, that's the "Critical Race Theory," as far as I'm aware of it. Why wouldn't you be for teaching that in law schools? Or maybe I have it all wrong. In that case, never mind.

Its roots are not recent, it’s an outgrowth of Critical Legal Theory.

The initial assault was to claim that principles of law such as “all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights” were just disingenuous falsehoods to mask the domination of one interest group over another.

The point of this assault was to clear the way for the dismantling of “equal justice under the law” in favor of more or less explicitly tribally-organized principles of law, designed to benefit tribal groupings such as blacks, jews, hispanics, gays, feminist lunatics and so on.

This is identity politics enshrined in the system of justice.

[Da Coyote]

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.

[guido911]

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.

[kublia khan]

Why must it end in violince. You have to ask?

[gathersnomoss]

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

Uh ohhhh.

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.
