This ABA rule would require law school "education on bias, crosscultural competency, and racism.” A few professors whine about this interfering with "academic freedom." Yet every business should want their attorneys to know this. Beats getting sued.

Here's some whining about the ABA rule on racism from Brian Leiter, the same professor who called Nikole Hannah-Jones an "imbecile" in a blog post and Tweeted that law school deans may not talk about racism and the killing of George Floyd.

Many law professors get paid more than the governor. We don't have the "academic freedom" to refuse students the education they need to practice law. The legal and social impact of racism is something lawyers need to know unless they want their clients to get sued.

The "academic freedom" argument boils down to this: I have a lifetime job (tenure) making a salary larger than almost any other public servant, but the law school I work for shouldn't ask someone (not necessarily me) to teach future lawyers about racism. Huh?

Fighting racism shouldn't be a left v. right issue. Almost all businesses at least say they take racism seriously and hire lots of lawyers to address bias issues. Whining about the ABA rule is from Team MAGA and a handful of narcissistic academics all over the political spectrum.

How many cases pending in federal and state court involving allegations of racism?
How many cases involving “Anglophone and Continental philosophy”? This guy should do his thing, but somebody needs to teach law students what they need to know to practice law.
