CRT and identity politics invade the court rooms

 John Solomon:

Alan Dershowitz, the famed law scholar and appellate lawyer, has a stark warning for judges, prosecutors and defense lawyers: America's justice system is being corrupted by identity politics and critical race theory.

In an interview with Just the News, Dershowitz deplored the growing trend in recent criminal cases toward political agendas supplanting the neutral consideration of evidence and law that has been the lifeblood of U.S. jurisprudence for more than two centuries.

"It's becoming much more responsive, unfortunately, to critical race theory, basically, everything's about race," Dershowitz told the John Solomon Reports podcast in an interview aired this week. "Everything's about race or politics.

"The justice system has stopped being about is this particular person innocent or guilty beyond a reasonable doubt based on the evidence and based on the law. People today are rooting, cheering for verdicts. They want verdicts to reflect their narrative. They want verdicts to prove their way of looking at the world. Trials and justice have ceased to be about individual justice. They're about identity politics."

Dershowitz said the aftermath of the George Floyd tragedy in Minneapolis created a tipping point where racial activists and woke ideologues have forced discussions ranging from education to business to be centered solely on race.

"Recently, a school in California posted a job for a theoretical physicist, and hardly mentioned anything about physics," he recounted. "But it talked about where do you stand on diversity? Where do you stand on everything relating to race?

The obsession with race is exposed by DEI and CRT jargon in job searches.   They are all wrapped up in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion instead of merit.  It should be noted that DEI is absent from most college sports teams.  There it is all merit-based and no one thinks you bringing in a small nerdy white guy as a defensive lineman or a basketball player.
