Summary

Early this month, Harvard Law School students participated in a “Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon” workshop. Students were asked to "gather data to edit the Wikipedia pages of Big Law firms to reflect cases they have recently argued," according to The Washington Free Beacon. What actually happened? Several students singled out and warped the Wikipedia pages of big law firms who previously that they would cut back recruitment from universities that did not curb the spread of anti-Semitism on-campus following the Oct. 7 Hama terror attacks. What are we getting at? For decades, America’s elite law schools have degraded their standards in the pursuit of social justice and have become wholly dependent on foreign money. Now, it’s finally catching up to them, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
