The recent Yale law school censorship of LPE and the Paul Weiss farce disrupt the assumption that elitism naturally leads to societal responsibilities. No, elitism without principle is the worst form of cowardice. They are so afraid of helping anybody, including themselves.

Seeing how quickly law firms are folding to Trump's will makes me believe even more fervently in my latest now forthcoming Minnesota Law Review Headnotes. Critical Curriculum Design explores why law schools are producing lawyers so willing to thwart democracy. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

I can’t say America has reached its lowest as it went lower before. But as a millennial American, I’m convinced this is the worst America in my life time. It’s cruel, ugly, vile, stupid and tacky. Look at her. A dog killer with a golden Rolex, talks/wears trash at the same time.

This is a sad day for many reasons. This might be The LPE Project’s turning point to demise. Its problem is not about lacking a theoretical core; it’s lacking courage. It’s pure mind gymnastics, and we already have too many mind gymnasts at the law academy.

Yup. It’s the natural fruit of the decades long “running schools like a business” neoliberalism in the education system. The elimination of DOE is also inevitable- why would the business industry want to have a regulator?

This is a year of many disappointments from American higher Ed and I sometimes feel truly depressed about the reality. Then something like this happens and I feel re-empowered again. My students are the reasons why I do what I do.Thank you SMU APALSA! I’m glad to be your lantern!

This was written 10 years ago: The Slow Death of the University. It’s incredibly well written - with the English style snakiness - but also sad. He was right. michel-foucault.com/2015/04/17/ter…

Today was my last class at SMU Dedman School of Law. Civil Rights. I enjoyed every moment I spent with my students. They are why I do what I do. SMU was where my American dream started. I’ll always be a Mustang, but I’m also excited about my next academic chapter at UMass Law. Pony Up! 🐎🦄

Just published my new paper at the Texas A&M Law Review. It’s about the revival of the alien land laws, this New Cold War with China, and what does it mean for POC, especially the Chinese. scholarship.law.tamu.edu/cgi/viewconten…

I regained some hope for democracy tonight. It’s not just about who has most money in their super PACs. It’s people. People can do it. They just need their politicians to really listen to them.

My latest. Part I of a 2-part series on US fascism. "I argue that fascism is attendant to the fall of imperialism, which is produced by intractable crises of capital. Thus, domination is not the defining feature of fascism...." cunylawreview.org/the-architectu…
