The radical yet prestigious University of California Berkeley School of Law appears to confirm the correlation between leftist politics and mental illness. Via College Fix:
Recent UC Berkeley Law graduate Andrew Testerman notes in a James G. Martin Center article that 37.5 percent of UC Berkeley Law students get some sort of disability accommodation, a figure greater than the total number of male students at the school.
The supposed disabilities are overwhelmingly of the mental variety:
Ninety-eight percent of those “have a primary or secondary diagnosis of ‘ADD/ADHD,’ ‘anxiety,’ or (somewhat less commonly) ‘depression.’”
As Testerman observes,
“Simply put, it is highly improbable that so many elite law students have ‘impairments’ that ‘substantially limit major life activities’ in ways that just happen to dramatically and negatively affect their ability to take tests.”
The little people at community colleges claim disability at a 3%–4% rate. If they aren’t smart enough to game the system by pretending to be deficient, they aren’t smart enough to run the system — unlike UC Berkeley grads.
