I have read that the curriculum is revised at Harvard Law School every five years (I think); when she was the head, she had the opportunity to require either first year law students or as a condition for graduation, that a course in the US Constitution be mandated. She balked; put in courses in international law instead.
Basically, under Kagan’s direction the Freshman required courses were changed from Common Law—the basic legal principles coming down to us at least since the days of Magna Carta, and underlying our American Constitutional law—to what is called Positive Law.
Common Law is what has been thought to be just for centuries. Positive Law is the idea that you can pass any damn laws you want, and forget civilized tradition. The second appeals to those who hate traditional western civilization and what to change it to some sort of Communist ideal. Gay marriage is a typical example of this new sort of law. “Whatever I say, goes.”
In other words, she pulled the rug out from under a thousand years and more of legal tradition, and substituted game-changing political correctness instead.
This is especially disastrous since Harvard has often set the model for all the other law school curricula in the country.
