California is easing its bar exam score which critics argue fails to measure ability

Bar exams are useless if no one passes them due to having suffered through a lousy education.

Just a wild guess without reading the article!

Mike Judge is a prophet.

“Forty percent of California’s population is white”

And in 1960 that number was 90%.

So when did the population of California vote to become a discriminated minority in their own state?

The Left loves to lower standards... in countries it wants to destroy.

Get cheap surgeries provided by BLM.

lower the passing score for the exam, a victory for law school deans who have long hoped the change would raise the number of Black and Latino people practicing law

Not much more need to comment.

That Time Joe Biden Lied About His Academic Credentials

The presidential candidate bragged about graduating in the top half of his class at law school. He was 76th in a class of 85.

Everybody gets a medal!

Remember when we admired ability and strived for excellence? That was us, right?

California judges are not really expected to know the law any way, just rely on their personal feelings so long as they agree with the left-wing agenda.

>>>Will Hillary! (Smartest Woman In The World!) FINALLY pass the bar?<<<

Come on, really? Have you ever known Hillary Clinton to pass a bar?

Traditional grammatically correct English is racist. Get rid of it.
Traditional math is colonialism and racist. Get rid of it.
The bar exam is racist and needs to lower standards so minorities can pass.
SATs are no longer required because minorities can't pass it because it's racist. Get rid of it.

I'm sure everyone is seeing the pattern here.

I have a neighbor who is a lawyer and CPA. When I asked which exam was more difficult, he replied that the CPA exam was much more difficult.

[Tai_Chung]

Why not? They already make a mockery of the law.

Someone needs to clarify that that much higher percentage of ‘people of color’ includes the over 11 MILLION ILLEGAL INVADERS who are in California.

Lawyers were stupid before this change.

Now, there will be a clear documented point for the plunge into really stupid.

"There is absolutely no evidence that shows having a higher score makes for better lawyers," said UCLA School of Law Dean Jennifer L. Mnookin, a longtime supporter of lowering the passing score. "There is significant evidence that it reduces the diversity of the bar."

So then why have a test at all?
Also, she is claiming that minorities can't perform at the same level as white people - an outright racist remark.

Yep, I know. And I know he lied. But like Valarie Jarret says, that was years ago. Did you know 150,000,000 Americans have died from guns since the repeal of the ‘Assault Weapons Ban? Joe said that during a dem debate, but, hey, that was months ago. And his brilliant tax plan would bring 720,000,000 women into the work force—but that was 10 month ago.

Kind of like lowering the standards in medical school. You want a doctor who barely passed or someone in the top of the class?

[SamAdams76]

Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer may agree with the new standards. For the old Bar Exam could be extremely confounding.
