The American Bar Association is poised to mandate diversity training and affirmative action at all of its accredited law schools, a move top legal scholars say could jeopardize academic freedom and force schools to violate federal law.

The association, which accredits nearly every law school in the United States, is mulling a plan that would require schools to "provide education to law students on bias, cross-cultural competency, and racism," including a mandatory ethics course instructing students that they have an obligation to fight "racism in the law." Schools would also be required to "take effective actions" to "diversify" their student bodies—even when doing so risks violating a law that "purports to prohibit consideration of" race or ethnicity.

When I was in college, a bachelors in econ was the best major for law school (I can't remember by what measure, but it was either college acceptance or LSAT scores), and I believe the large majority of applicants are English and Poli Sci majors.

I’d guess you’re “qualified” to teach these **** training requirements huh? I’d figure a paralegal can handle this level of tripe.
