You take the Bar exam AFTER law school, the LSAT is a tool to help gauge if you have the type of intelligence that is well-suited for law school.

Yup, the Bar is a Bear.
And the book should be, “How THE LEFT Has Captured the Law School, the Judiciary and the Constitution.”

In the USA, the LSAT is opposed by one group in particular, which lacks the moral character, discipline and intelligence needed to pass it. No other reason.

“The LSAT (or any standardized test for that matter) is considered inherently biased”
Yes.
The LSAT is intended to eliminate bad students who will make bad lawyers.

Yes, “advances in learning theories” are irrelevant. The measure of utility of the LSAT is whether it is predictive of success in law school, as measured by performance on the bar exam after graduation. That was its original purpose, just as the SAT was designed to predict performance in college. All the rest is just politics.

The American Bar Association (ABA) that regulates our law-school industry ... If the 'ABA' is an acronym for the 'American BAR Association', what does the 'BAR' an acronym for?

They will give the questions out to certain individuals according to race, sex, and social attitude scores.

‘Bar’ was the Brit practice of separating courts into parts for lower level folks versus areas for actual barristers (lawyers). Weird terminology from a different time and place.
