 Judge tosses out lawsuit against Duke U. by student who refused to take LSAT
College Fix Staff •December 29, 2018
 

Remember Edward Thomas Kennedy, the student who refused to take the Law School Admittance Test because he deems it “junk science” … and then sued Duke University after being denied admittance to its law school?

Well, his case now has been heard, and it’s not good — for him: Judge Richard Andrews of the U.S. District Court of Delaware dismissed the lawsuit in late November.

According to The Chronicle, Andrews pointed to Kennedy’s “failure to state a federal claim” and noted “there was no factual basis to believe that Kennedy could amend the suit to make a federal claim.”

The prospective "law student" epitomizes the new breed, "Post-modernists," Social Justice Warrior.

To them the established society, culture, laws, are based on "Unfair," prejudiced precepts."

So just reject it, tear it all down.

Where it all falls apart, is it is itself based on nothing.


Things like "indigenous" science, law, etc.

The left believes all standards under The Patriarchy are unfair to certain demographics.
That is why the left works assiduously to get unqualified minorities into institutions where they are destined to fail instead of not quite as prestigious schools where they could succeed.
The left actually  harms  the people they claim to help. But they refuse to acknowledge that fact.
