I'm of two minds on this. In principle I obviously agree with you and I also agree the letter was extremely clumsily written. The number one concern for the government should be the elimination of enforced DEI codes and standards within institutions, not whether it is taught as a theory of justice or philosphy. That's the one mind. My other mind reminds me that schools generally don't teach these leftist theories as something interesting to be discussed, compared and critiqued but as something mandatory to indoctrinate students with. I do not think it appropriate for a law school to teach students that critical theory (which is what DEI is)is liberal just and mandatory. This is what leads to struggle sessions and all those other goodies. So there is a place to ensure that American accredited schools, whether law, or otherwise, not indoctrinate the future leaders of the country with a noxious Marxist theory designed to undermine and ultimately destroy our system and our society. Any theory that departs from common liberalism as that is understood should be taught only in a comparative course with ample criticism of it included. It is a near certainty that these Marxist theories are being taught as truth with little or no dissent allowed. This has to stop.
