[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Studying laws and structures before law school doesn't make for a particular rigorous curriculum.[/quote]

The notion that only those who go to law school would learn about civic and societal structures, including governance structures, is frightening. And I'm one of pp's who spoke out about how terrible these consultants are! [/quote]
Sigh, no one said anything about not teaching civics before law school.

CRT is usually taught as an elective in the 2L or 3L year, after students have grasped certain concepts from Criminal Law, Property, and Constitutional Law (and read/briefed/analyzed the seminal cases). You think someone in middle school or high school without these foundational building blocks is in a position to learn about CRT in a meaningful way?

Of course it's appropriate to teach basic civics and important legal concepts from U.S. history at a 40,000 foot level before college. But expecting the kind of deep, critical analysis from kids to understand the underpinnings of CRT cogently (or Law and Economics, or any other theory of legal scholarship, for that matter) is not realistic.[/quote]

I went to law school. My sibling is literally a law professor at a top law school and is a "crit." Your very narrow definitions around this and very narrow opinion of this is, let's just say, not the only one reasonable and informed minds could have. [/quote]
