Harvey Silverglate

And as an educational institution, educational institutions no longer will educate, they will indoctrinate.

That we have to avoid at all costs.

Absolutely.

And some of the most important discoveries in science, for example,

were mocked at the beginning.

I mean, think of poor Charlie Darwin.

Well, now you trigger my having to tell you this story.

You're triggered.

In the mid-1980s, I decided to take a four-month sabbatical from my law practice.

Yes.

Professor James Vorenberg, who was at the time dean of the Harvard Law School, heard about it.

Heard about it from his wife, Elizabeth Betty Vorenberg,

whom I was very friendly with because we were both on the ACLU, the ACLU of Massachusetts Board at the time.

And Betty told Jim that Harvey was taking a sabbatical.

Jim called Harvey and asked Harvey if he would like to teach a course at the Harvard Law School because there was nobody who had teaching criminal law from the perspective of somebody who actually was in court, litigated.

It was all theoretical.

I said, sure, I'll do it.

So I taught a semester at Harvard Law School.

The student evaluations were fabulous.

Why?
