-"Undergraduate schools are already treating the SAT and ACT as optional, and the ‘big’ law schools have been ignoring the LSAT for a while now."-

All these exams (SAT, ACT, LSAT, etc.) should remain as options. These tests are equalizers. People who never went to school can use the SAT and ACT for college admission.

But, anyone who did go to school has an academic record of grades. Anyone applying to law school already has a college degree and a GPA (correct?). So, maybe less emphasis should be placed on the LSAT score.

How do you distinguish someone with an undergraduate degree from MIT from someone with a degree from Bubba's College of Beer and Taxidermy? What if the MIT graduate has a 3.5 GPA and the Bubba's College graduate has a 4.0 GPA?

The LSAT evaluates your capacity to think logically, to think critically and to think out of the box. It really does not involve knowledge of the law at all. However, today, kids are not being taught critical thinking at any level of education. They are indoctrinated by the fascist left instead to listen and accept whatever the tyrants in charge say they have to. Hence, the movement to lose the LSAT because they cannot score decently or at all on the test

In an environment where a professor who gives a bad grade to a black student risks professional "consequences".
