christopher fountain– Black law students demand “Diversity Monitors” in all classrooms. Professor Reynolds suggests that the proper term is “Zampolit” (Russian term for the political commissar present in every Soviet classroom, factory and army units), and he’s right.
The Black Law Students Association at the University of San Diego School of Law is calling for campus administrators to train and post diversity officers in classrooms to observe and report bias and other “disparaging” actions against students of color.
According to an open letter from the USD Black Law Students Association, these diversity officers would be charged with watching classrooms and reporting incidents or conduct they consider questionable or discriminatory.
“As Black law students we are privileged with the opportunity to pursue a legal education and seek membership to the legal profession, however, we are not immune to the oppression that is inextricably linked to our Blackness,” the group states in their six-page letter to USD law faculty and students.
In addition to monitoring duties, the diversity officers would meet annually with professors and deans to go over how they could better promote diversity in the school’s instruction, the letter states.
In the letter, BLSA claims many students of color at USD’s law school are subjected to racist behavior and comments in the classroom and feel “uncomfortable ‘calling out’ the student or professor for fear of retaliation or because they second guess whether the experience qualifies as a microaggression.”
The addition of diversity monitors to classrooms would balance academic freedom with “the need to promote an inclusive learning environment.”

Good gravy! What’s next?
Cuba and Venezuela are just a short hop to the hell they
want to live within. Get a move on, shitheads.
How about just cameras? Even some of the most staunch libertarian privacy people like Greg Gutfield advocate for cameras everywhere because their claims are BS and hell no on biased monitors.
Oh, yes indeedy! Protection from bias and microaggression in the law school classeroom will superbly prepare them for success in the courtroom, especially one with a hard-ass judge.
The law is colorblind. Ever notice how the justice statue, holding the scales, is BLINDFOLDED? 🙄
You ALL just flunked OUT of law school. 😳
I highly recommend occasionally looking in on Christopher Fountain’s site. Although Christopher Fountain is primarily observing and writing on Greenwich, Connecticut real estate, he has plenty of interesting items about the current political scene with many great comments from his followers regarding the things he pulls off the Internet. This is typical of the inane pieces he locates and illuminates. And, the prices people are paying for homes in that neighborhood are beyond belief!
Remember, math is racist. So I guess you don’t need to know any arithmetic to get into law school.
I think that they should have dogs for their diversity monitors. Dogs love people indiscriminately, except for cruel people. That kind of diversity isn’t needed.
Of course, if they really wanted to be exclusive, cats should be the diversity monitors.
Could they demonstrate what part of the founding documents has that request?
Expel them all.
YES! And let’s have white civil lawyers protecting against Critical Race Theory and “White Privilege” theories!
Holy crap, diversity takes care of itself when common sense is in charge.
I.E. toss ‘affirmative action’.
If people can’t cut the mustard, they’re outta here.
The natural progression of such a policy implementation would be all white USD law students saying, “f*ck this shit I’m outta here” (I know I would). And voila you have an all black law school – just the kind of diversity that blacks really want.
Many blacks know they are only there because of affirmative action. It shames them to know they can’t compete so they take it out on other good students.
The one thing I don’t think these Affirmative Action Warriors realize is that if they’re successful then employers (of all law firms big and small) will avoid black graduates from the San Diego Law Faculty like the plague. Nobody wants to hire a lawyer that needed a Zampolit (perfect word Professer Reynolds) to help them pass and also who wants an employee that will fall back on his or her color and cries of “Racism!” when their shortcomings are exposed.
Wow – and that’s a private, Catholic University.
What a tender little pussy.
OK how about this: Cancel the course, return the money.
Everybody OUT!
Just like how the casinos in Vegas do it. Sick of SEIU and culinary demanding shit every other week? Shut down the restaurant. Bye!
