The U.S. Department of Education on Friday recommended stripping the American Bar Association of its longstanding authority to accredit nearly 200 law schools across the country.
According to a leak, a 500-page staff report concluded that the group is not sufficiently “separate and independent” from the larger ABA, operates like a cartel, and has injected its own political ideology into the process, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Assistant Secretary of Education David Barker put it bluntly: when there’s no competition, “accreditors feel free to inject their own political preferences, their own ideologies into the work that they do.”
The ABA has held a near-monopoly since 1952 over which law schools can access federal student loans and whose graduates can sit for the bar in most states.
This follows years of the ABA pushing illegal DEI mandates on law schools, requirements that forced race-based preferences and “bias, racism, and cross-cultural competency” indoctrination even after the Supreme Court gutted affirmative action.
The Trump administration has been dismantling this rot step by step, and states like Texas and Florida have already moved to sideline the ABA.
Attorney and election integrity fighter David Clements responded on X with a powerful account of how the Bar has been weaponized against patriots who dare speak the truth:
“I’ve been subjected to six investigations by my state BAR association over the past six years—for advocating against Covid-19 tyranny and rigged elections.
“Despite prevailing against my accusers, my license holds virtually no value, unless and until corrupt actors are brought to justice, and those that have been harmed are restored and publicly vindicated.
“A mere Google search invites baseless attacks and prejudice from opposing counsel and judges every time I enter into a case. As a result, all potential clients are harmed by proximity to me before I get a foot in the door.
“Each year, attorneys must take CLEs (continuing legal education courses) infused with DEI/woke ideologies, and pay substantial sums of money to practice their trade.
“The irony of funding and receiving propaganda from an entity that is weaponized against me is a bitter pill to swallow.
“The BAR is one of the most corrupt entities on Earth.”
Clements, a prosecutor and New Mexico State University professor who was fired for refusing COVID mandates, has spent years exposing election fraud and medical tyranny. The Bar subjected him to six frivolous investigations, and he beat every single one.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Clements was subjected to a sixth disciplinary investigation after visiting former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters in jail.
The complaint reportedly alleged that Clements gained access to Peters under “false pretenses” before publishing a short video update about her condition.
The Gateway Pundit also reported in February 2025 that Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson banned FTC political appointees from holding leadership positions in the ABA, participating in its events, or using government resources to pay ABA membership expenses.
Ferguson accused the ABA, described by Senator Mike Lee as the “lawyer’s wing of the Democratic Party,” of abandoning neutral legal analysis in favor of left-wing political activism.
The ABA has repeatedly clashed with the Trump administration over DEI mandates, judicial nominations, Trump’s executive orders targeting major law firms, and the administration’s efforts to dismantle the federal bureaucracy.
Texas, Florida, and Alabama have already taken steps to reduce the ABA’s power over their attorney-licensing systems, with several states specifically citing the organization’s DEI requirements.
