Melissa Click fired; Missouri prof called for 'muscle' to remove student reporter

I can see how someone is soft sunshine of a spotless mind regarding the subject. Others, however, are darkly contentious.

One law school graduate in a best selling autobiography wrote that while at school he carefully chose his circle of comrades from among the "structural feminists and Marxist professors." If a place is lousy with sufficient structural feminists and Marxist professors for a close drum circle of shared cigarettes, calling that "full" depends on what the meaning of the word "full" is.

It is widely understood the last generation saw a leftist revolution in all of academia. Law schools were no exception. This rising tide of political correctness and cultural Marxism transformed scholarship, teaching and legal curriculum. This revolution birthed young leftist legal professionals always at angry odds with the conservative holdouts in the judiciary. The legal revolution mirrored society. Law schools lurched left as the rest or academia reverted to radically revisionist institutions.

Some argue the Critical Legal Studies and the Law and Economics movements was behind it. Some say feminist law and literature served as the vanguard of softcore sexual Marxism. This rebirth of applied law as a left-leaning political philosophy manifested in courses including core curriculum. Remember, Marxist mentored Obama glided through politics guided on groves greased by Constitutional Law and membership in the Socialist Party of America, both of which served as the training ground for his infamous community activism. Now, social justice warrior types go into law school to study Torts, Contracts, and Criminal Law hoping to muck up the system by overwhelming the courts.

Racially required recruitment rapidly altered demographic enrollment patterns. This and apocalyptic affirmative action for faculty hiring produced in a generation far more diverse and radically mixed while drawing a more ideologically pure student and law faculty. Thus law school evolved into advocacy teaching while pushing free counseling in civil disobedience, mandated negotiation, community activism, urban agitation and other political programs that changed nature of the life of the law.

Proletarian in practice, the legal profession now pushes for a law in the model of more socially responsible social justice lawyers. At each level of law schools, law teaching, and legal scholarship, this creates lawyers and leftist legal scholars who use legal scholarship and practical advocacy in the courts to identify and exploit critical social issues to guide society in ways more fitting the current doctrine.
