Thank you for your post!

No student has a right, under law, to a personal, positive, recommendation from a professor.

I understand what you are saying, however a recommendation is required for medical school.

Between the civil rights movement and the establishment cause of the Constitution, the court may issue a ruling that many professors will not like.

The only effect would be that letters of recommendation would become worthless.
