America, it’s time to take a hard look at our legal education system. The rot from within is not just an academic concern; it’s a national crisis. Our elite law schools—harbingers of the rule of law and traditional conservatism—have devolved into echo chambers for radical left ideologies. They’ve sacrificed empirical standards at the altar of political correctness and foreign influence, leading us to question the very quality of the graduates being produced.
Once the crown jewels of American education, schools like Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, have lowered their admission standards to accommodate a new breed of activist students. As Victor Davis Hanson points out, these students and their ideologies are “retaliatory,” seeking to warp and manipulate narratives to suit radical agendas, even in the public repositories like Wikipedia. Instead of focusing on excellence in jurisprudence, these institutions seem more interested in political theater, backed by foreign powers like Qatar that make generous donations to their coffers.
For years, the Ivy Leagues ranked supreme, but they’re falling. Harvard has famously tumbled out of the top five in national rankings. Why? Because these universities have prioritized diversity, equity, and inclusion over merit, eroding the very backbone of what education in America is supposed to stand for—excellence and preparation for real-world challenges.
And let’s talk about the talent pool. These law schools admit students who would have been sidelined for their lack of preparedness in the past. They are bypassing critical merit-based assessments like the LSATs and GPA benchmarks, replacing them with a quota-driven approach. This lack of accountability results in graduates who can’t pass the bar exam on their first try, leaving law firms disappointed and underwhelmed.
Consider Stanford Law, which up until recently had a first-time bar passage rate of only 84%, even as it held the No. 2 slot in national law school rankings. In response to these numbers, alarm bells went off. The institution had to pivot—revising admissions policies and cracking down on student activism. The result? A passage rate now at 95%. It’s a case study in how conservative course correction can yield tangible results.
But this is not just about numbers or rankings—this is about what kind of leaders and thinkers we are handing over the keys to our nation’s future. Law firms are beginning to gravitate toward graduates who’ve had to earn their place in more rigorous settings, valuing real skill over prestigious affiliations. Vanderbilt and other non-Ivy institutions are ascending in prestige and preference because they have remained steadfast in their educational integrity.
This is a clarion call for America to reclaim the ideals of our educational institutions. If law schools continue this trajectory of politicization, they will further disconnect from the empirical subjects they purport to teach. Our future lawyers will enter the professional world ill-equipped to serve their primary role: upholding the law impartially and justly. We must demand law schools that educate, not indoctrinate, and graduates who are equipped to handle the complexities of our modern legal systems without bias or influence from radical ideologies and foreign benefactors.
Imagine a system where hiring is based strictly on objective assessments and real-world capabilities, rather than a blind concession to brand names tainted by politicization. That’s the America we should strive for—a merit-based society where excellence prevails and education bolsters foundational national values rather than erodes them.
Let’s restore the sanctity of our law schools and demand accountability from these supposed centers of higher learning before they stray too far off course. America deserves graduates who are not only impressive by name but inspiring in action and integrity. It’s time to get serious—before it’s too late.
