Well, everything is racist according to the left, so really, are you surprised?
The Washington Supreme Court issued two orders on Monday endorsing "alternative pathways" for individuals to pursue a legal career, effectively eliminating the requirement of passing the bar exam. Justifying its decision, the court claimed that the traditional bar exam “blocks marginalized groups from entering the practice of law” and even went so far as to accuse the bar exam of having “racism and classism written into the test itself.”
The Bar Licensure Task Force, chaired by Washington Supreme Court Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis and Seattle University Law School Dean Anthony Varona, studied options to the traditional bar exam following a year of pandemic-related bar exam modifications.
The Task Force concluded in their analysis that the traditional bar exam “disproportionately and unnecessarily blocks marginalized groups from entering the practice of law, and the traditional bar exam is at best minimally effective for ensuring competent lawyers.”
As well, the task force's portion in the filing claimed, “In the 1960s, while the Civil Rights movement phased out formal racism, a ‘veiled or nonformal racism came in—racism under the guise of excellence, fairness, equal opportunity, all the things that make up the constellation of attitudes and standards we call merit.'" [sic] for the bar exam.
Justice Montoya-Lewis said in a statement of the case, “With these alternative pathways, we recognize that there are multiple ways to ensure a competent, licensed body of new attorneys who are so desperately needed around the state.”

Yeah. Get your degree at Costco. Idiocracy is a documentary!
Very true.
Can medical school requirements be far behind? Scary.
Honestly, it wasn’t that long ago that neither law school nor a bar exam was required to practice law. Harry Truman practiced law without either, because he “read law” in an existing practice for a number of years and became experienced.
“Can medical school requirements be far behind?”
Some medical schools have already implemented DEI/CRT requirements, and not just in hiring but in operations as well.
In a recent case in Baltimore a 14 year veteran supervising nurse, wih an outstanding record, was fired based on comments she made on her personal Facebook account, disparaging the CRT/DEI indoctrination sessions employees at her hospital are rquoired to take.
Grover Washington, Jr.
Man that guy could play the sax!
Washington state needs more lawyers like progressivism needs more corruption.
Maybe even a Wal Mart doctorate?
Which means they have to dumb it down for the colored people
Insanity.
I took the examination to become a pharmacist in Texas. Those that passed were given a license to practice pharmacy. Those that did not were not. Oddly the highest pass rate was by orientals, whites, and then other minorities. The fail rate was very low with all races. After six years of hard science most were well prepared for the test.
Yes, King County was named after the VP(?) at the time of statehood - Rufus King or something. Thy emblem on all of the signs and stationary was a crown. I forget how many millions of dollars they spent to change those.
I nominate Booker T. Washington as the state’s namesake. Although he was a Republican so....
(It’s a brave new world!)
