The Dumbing Down of America

And now, law schools are dropping the LSAT, the law school admission test, as a requirement for admission. You know, the exam that tests reading comprehension and reasoning known to be directly correlate with academic success in law school. Sure, we need this. Like lawyers aren’t dumb enough already. The reason why, diversity, of course. Not enough women and people of color. The fact of the matter is “people of color,” and let’s not beat around the bush here, they mean black people, do not perform well on the LSAT, so obviously, it must be eliminated to achieve a guaranteed result. How insulting. Anyone who scores well on the exam and therefore possesses the ability to reason will see this for what it is: racism. Medical schools are eliminating the MCAT, and the airlines are handicapping admission scores to flight school, and now law schools are falling in line to achieve their bizarre definition of equity. Does anyone on the left see this as problematic?  How does one now distinguish between a truly competent pilot, physician, or lawyer when they are a person of color?  Were they accepted based on academic excellence or a quota?  And if a white person dares to pose that question, and when your life is on the line, it is certainly a reasonable question, you know the result will be accusations of racism. It’s not fair to the consumer of services, it’s not fair to white applicants, and it’s certainly not fair to people of color who were accepted to the programs on merit alone.
