Excellent point by Greg Lukianoff, CEO, Foundation for Individual Rights in Education
"We kid ourselves if we believe our legal freedoms will survive if our free speech culture is undermined by the institutions entrusted to educate future citizens, leaders, lawyers, and judges."
With Woke ideology dominating our educational institutions we are well on the way there which is why dismantling their power base is so important. Being a lawyer by training I am well acquainted with the de-evolution of law schools into social justice factories where the right result, as defined by Progressive ideology, is more important than the neutral application of legal principles I learned. Part of that package is a devaluation of rights of free speech, free conscience and access to equal protection under the laws if they are claimed by the "wrong" people. It is why the philosophy of the "living constitution" is so attractive to identitarians, because it unmoors the document from any attempt to connect it to the political thought of the late 18th century men who wrote and ratified it and makes judges into just another legislative branch in which they rule based upon policy preferences.
The current four liberal Supreme Court justices look like moderates compared to the wave of lower Federal Court judges installed during the Obama Administration who've been marinated in the identitarian Progressive philosophy of law and who do not support the free speech culture we operated under for much of the 20th century,
