Among the many childish reactions from the Left, one of the silliest is the notion that law professors are facing a crisis because of some recent Supreme Court decisions that they dislike. “Oh, how can we teach such cases?”
Professor Josh Blackman has a delightful piece on the Volokh Conspiracy where he tells them to grow up and act like adults.
Blackman writes, referring to his co-authored essay with professor Randy Barnett, “In our view, there is no crisis. But we can relate with professors who are having difficulty teaching decisions they disagree with. We’ve done it for the entirety of our careers. We suggests that our method of teaching may be useful for liberal and progressive professors who are having trouble coping with the current court.”
The lefty professors who whine about having to discuss opinions they disagree with have grown up in the “progressive” bubble where you don’t rationally argue with opponents but merely demonize them.
Teaching Supreme Court decisions doesn’t necessitate agreeing with the reasoning, just explaining to students how the majority reached its conclusion. Is that so hard? If professors such as Blackman and Barnett can deal calmly with rulings by the Warren Court, why can’t the lefties do the same with rulings by the Roberts Court? Maybe they just like to play the victim.
