Today they had a segment about an educator being fired for being too tough on grading. Apparently he was teaching an organic chemistry course and the people on the Five were sure that was the course that ended the dream of many would be doctors because it was so hard and washed out many people. And I’m pretty sure they would also have to pass calculus and maybe not differential equations but at least calculus so you couldn’t bullshit your way in.

Now you who have followed my nonsense know that I consider all those courses a piece of cake. But the point of this rant is they mentioned that lawyers need some difficult stuff also and it occurred to me that that’s not true. There is absolutely no gateway course like organic chemistry to become a lawyer. An elementary education major can get in law school! I have always considered lawyers and doctors to be pretty much on the same level but now I realize that people have to be able to pass some courses to get into medical school and the same is not true for lawyers.
