When American Lawyers Are Taught to Hate America
By Eileen F. Toplansky
It is no longer a surprise why so many American students have come to despise their own country. The latest example of deliberate misinformation comes from the New Jersey State Bar Foundation (NJSBF). Claiming that "informed citizens are better citizens," the NJSBF issued a May 20, 2020 article titled "Explaining the Roots of Institutional Racism."
Institutional racism was baked into the U.S. Constitution, dating back to when the Founding Fathers were determining how to calculate the number of seats each state would have in the House of Representatives. Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution states: '...shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons ... three fifths of all other Persons.' Those three-fifths persons were slaves.
In fact, the "words 'slave' [and] 'slavery' do not exist in the Constitution. Thus, as escaped slave abolitionist, Frederick Douglass stated '[a]bolish slavery tomorrow, and not a sentence or syllable of the Constitution need be altered.' Thus, Douglass steadfastly believed that the government created by the Constitution 'was never, in its essence, anything but an anti-slavery government.'"
In the "1776 Report" now scrubbed by the Biden administration but available here, one learns that Douglass "initially condemned the Constitution, but after studying its history came to insist that it was a 'glorious liberty document.'"
