During the Anita Hill hearings after a series of implausible witnesses all of whom were black Yale law school graduates, Juan Williams wrote in the Washington Post that he could now understand the wisdom of the saying that Yale law school had ruined more good black minds than crack. I have found that to be an accurate observation and have always been grateful to Juan for having brought that to my attention.
Obama's communist "green czar" lays out why this is so:
"I had a professor who encouraged me to apply to Harvard and Yale [for law school], which was almost unheard of for students coming from the kind of public schools that I was coming from in the rural South. I was accepted to both places, and decided to go to Yale because Yale didn't have any grades and was smaller than Harvard. I figured, once I enroll I'm guaranteed to graduate, so I can just go and be a radical hellraiser student, and they can't do anything about it. Which is pretty much what happened."
Quotas and him being a rabid lefty got him there.
Says it all, doesn't it?
She did however lose her affection for George W. Bush while at Yale, which troubled me at the time.
Let me know if you'd like to be on or off the ping list
Where’s the original source for the quote?
I really want to send to to a relative who’s a Yale law school alumni.
It appears that Jones has never passed a bar exam. Guess this explains why.

I doubt the ignoramus ever passed any class in his life.
Of course, Clarice could do herself a favor and begin her piece with a grammatically correct sentence.
ROFLMAO!!! Thanks for the chuckle. Could not have said it better.
He stated he went to Yale because they didn’t have grades, meaning there were pass or fail, kind of like getting “present” for just being in class, then handed a degree he did not earn. No wonder he had to work for rabble rouser non-profits, he would not have gotten hired anywhere else.
You're doing a great job at living up to negative stereotyping of blacks, but that's OK. Stereotypes always have a basis in reality. It's great to see your fall, you useless, unqualified affirmative action phoney.
That’s odd, considering the Bushes are like royalty at Yale. I believe there were, what 7 different Bush family members in Skull and Bones?
Guess that just goes to show you how completely left-wing that institution has become, hmmmm?
It’s affirmative action, my friend. I used to know some black graduates of prestigious law schools who didn’t know anything about law. Or, seemingly, much of anything else.
I should add, though, that I’ve known some black lawyers who were first rate.
If Van Jones wasn’t Black, you’d never have heard of him, just like Obama.
