"A rational judge would order these lawyers to write "My Client Does Not Have A RIGHT To A Recommendation Letter" one thousand times."

You missed the point. In order to get into medical school, such a letter is required. I'd say, a good student actually DOES have a right to a letter of recommendation. Otherwise, the rules for entering medical school need to be changed so that such things are not required.

The requirements of a given medical school are not binding on Texas Tech, nor on its' professors, as it has NO POLICY on recommendation letters. With no school policy on such, professors may recommend, or not, as they choose.

If you want a certain job, and don't meet the job requirements, is that Discrimination ? No. The professor laid out what he requires if you want him to write you a letter of recommendation. Is he the only biology professor at Texas Tech ? Likely not, as his page mentions an entire biology DEPARTMENT. Was he required to give ANYONE a recommendation letter ? Nope. But if you want a letter from him, which requires effort above and beyond his norm, you have to jump through his hoops. What part of that isn't clear ?
