I look forward for the opportunity of some day voting for him. Cruz critique of the Harvard Law school was that there were many proponents of the Marxist inspired 'critical legal studies' (CLS) school of thought.
CLS says that laws are actually no more than a means by which the powerful in society oppress the lower classes, and perpetuates and legitimizes injustices. They say the rich use the law as an instrument for oppression. They say judges should use political considerations to change laws because laws are nothing more than politics anyway. CLS is an American movement that indeed relies heavily on the works of Marx ,Engels ,Max Weber,and Antonio Gramsci among others .
That Harvard law is infested with this type of professor is indisputable . Time Mag identified it as a hot bed of CLS in 2005.

While Obama was at Harvard law ,he studied under Roberto Mangabeira Unger ;the leading proponent of the CLS movement. This last election ,Unger turned on Obama and called for his defeat . Why ? Because Obama wasn't radical enough in advancing the cause of 'progressivism'.
This is who's teaching our future crop of Harvard Law School graduates .
Yes Cruz was right . It is absurd to suggest that he should've just abandoned his studies . For what purpose? Had he gone to Yale ,or Georgetown ,or many of the other prestigious schools of law in the country he would've encountered the same atmosphere. You can deny it all you want to ,but lefties dominate academia .
