"Our regulator was demanding that lawyers and paralegals draft and then obey a set of specific political ideas—both in their personal and professional lives—as a condition of their license."

"For all of my adult life, I have worked to advance social justice. Now I am horrified by what my own professional regulator is doing in the name of that same cause," writes litigation lawyer Murray Klippenstein & law professor Bruce Pardy.

"The idea that racism was rampant, and that heavy-handed measures were required to address it, took on a life of its own." Read "How Social Justice Ideologues Hijacked a Legal Regulator"
