In the past, students were vetted for being members of the Communist Party. Now we find UCLA students need to be vetted for being members of the Klan in Tan—the KKK without with robes, but with microphones demanding racism and bigotry at UCLA.
“University of California Los Angeles law students protested against a professor who opposes race-based college admissions, describing his position as “racist repression” at a rally Thursday on campus.
The protest targeted law Professor Richard Sander who, along with a group of students and parents, recently filed a lawsuit alleging the University of California is discriminating against white and Asian American students in its admissions process, the Daily Bruin reports.
“What we’re doing is essentially rejecting Richard Sander and his position on campus as well as all that stands behind that – all of the racist repression,” law student Noah Massillon told the student newspaper.
You read that right, these aren’t naive freshman. These are law students. If I was the Bar, I would never allow a Klansman to be an attorney. Do you have to be a bigot to be a UCLA law student, is it one of the qualifications? Would you hire a known bigot as your attorney? Should the DA’s office or a private firm? The DOJ is already investigating UCLA for its open antisemitic values, now it racism needs to be investigated.

In lawsuit, professor alleges University of California is discriminating against white and Asian American students
University of California Los Angeles law students protested against a professor who opposes race-based college admissions, describing his position as “racist repression” at a rally Thursday on campus.
The protest targeted law Professor Richard Sander who, along with a group of students and parents, recently filed a lawsuit alleging the University of California is discriminating against white and Asian American students in its admissions process, the Daily Bruin reports.
“What we’re doing is essentially rejecting Richard Sander and his position on campus as well as all that stands behind that – all of the racist repression,” law student Noah Massillon told the student newspaper.
The UCLA Black Law Students Association and other student groups organized the protest.
Students held signs that named Sander and mentioned “diversity” and “discrimination,” the student newspaper reports:
The students chanted, “Whose University? Our University,” and, “When we stand up, we get power. When we get power, they get scared.”
Malik Marshall, a law student who led the rally, said in a speech that California passed Proposition 209 – which made affirmative action illegal in the college admissions process – to “erase” Black students. …
Brendan Wong, a law student at UCLA, said in a speech that Sander’s lawsuit seeks to drive a wedge between Asian American students and other students of color to serve his personal agenda.
“To all Asians and Asian Americans, I want to encourage you to think about who truly has our best interests in mind and who is using us and weaponizing our identities,” said Wong, the social chair of the Asian/Pacific Islander Law Students Association at UCLA. “I urge you to speak up, to speak up for our communities and for others.”
The professor is part of the group Students Against Racial Discrimination, which filed a lawsuit against the University of California system earlier this year, The College Fix reported previously.
The group includes Republicans, Democrats, and independent students, parents, academics, and citizens. In their lawsuit, they allege the public university’s admissions process gives “discriminatory preferences to non-Asian racial minorities.”
The UC system allows “applicants with inferior academic credentials to obtain admission at the expense of rejected candidates with better academic credentials,” the lawsuit alleges.
However, UC spokesperson Omar Rodriguez told The Fix at the time that the lawsuit is “meritless,” and the university complies with the state law banning the consideration of race in admissions.
Sander has done extensive research on the issue of affirmative action, finding that it often harms racial minorities.
As The Fix previously reported, one study published in 2023 found a “mismatch effect,” or “big credential gaps” between racial minority students “who receive preferences” in admissions when compared to their classmates.
“If a student’s credentials are much lower than his or her classmates’ credentials, the student is much more likely to fail the bar exam, and the risk increases steadily as the ‘gap’ increases,” Sander told The Fix at the time. “This means that large admissions preferences – whether racial, [socioeconomic status], legacy, etc. – are very harmful to a student’s prospects of passing the bar and becoming a lawyer.”
“Several earlier studies found evidence for this same ‘mismatch effect’ in legal education, but this study is the first to be able to measure each individual student’s level of mismatch directly,” he said at the time.
