So then what? They will be getting their JD from "Fill-In-The-Blank School Of Law"? Maybe they just need to go to a different school?
Their resumes should report that they got their degree from some No Name school.

If I said I wanted to beat the living #### out of one of those kids, would I get banned for a week or so here?
I’d rather not. Love the board.
That’s why I asked IF.
File petitioners appropriately.
If I am ever in a position to hire someone, remind me never to hire a recent Washington & Lee JD.
Maybe they can change the portraits to Dinah Washington and Spike Lee.
The school should charge extra ($500)for the customized diploma and take orders.
I can't wait to hear.

Right. Perhaps Snowflake Technology Foundations University would have been a better choice for the whole lot of them.
So will they rename the school now?
At the undergraduate level its a pretty conservative school at least it was when I took my daughter to have a look at it back in 2008.
The Beware of hiring Snowflake University List must be getting pretty long these days.No wonder the current recruiting process takes 6 months for new hires.
By attacking two symbols of the Early USA, they are showing their hatred for the USA and the concept of a free USA. They would turn this country into a totalitarian dictatorship, like the soviet union.
More evidence the Commonwealth of Virginia has tipped over the edge.
Let me guess, they want them replaced with Che and Fidel
Maybe they need to go to another country. Permanently.

In particular, we dealt with women’s wrestling. We were able to argue that a 245 pound transgendered female should be allowed to compete against the other women. The judge agreed and ruled in our favor.”
