Quote:A federal judge was left enraged after his speech was derailed last week by a woke mob of students and a school administrator.

Fifth Circuit appellate Judge Stuart Kyle Duncan told the Washington Free Beacon that the students at Stanford University behaved like “dogs***” when they heckled and repeatedly shouted him down during his speech.

He has also called for an associate dean to be fired for what she did in response to the mayhem.

According to Fox News, Duncan went to Stanford on Thursday to give a speech at the invitation of the campus chapter of the Federalist Society, a conservative and libertarian organization for law professionals and students.

But, according to the Free Beacon, almost 100 Stanford students protested because, in a 2020 decision reported by NBC News, Duncan refused to use a transgender offender’s preferred pronouns in a child-pornography case, and explained at considerable length why he would not do so.

Video of the Stanford event shows Duncan attempting to give a speech but repeatedly being shouted down by a vocal mob of students every time he tried to speak, with students calling him a “scumbag” or saying that his “racism is showing.”

But what happened next was even more disturbing. Duncan asked for an administrator to stem the chaos, and Tirien Steinbach, Stanford’s associate dean of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” arrived on the scene.

Instead of upholding the university’s free speech policy and defending Duncan’s right to speak, Steinbach instead joined the mob in denouncing Duncan, saying “Your opinions from the bench land as absolute disenfranchisement” of the students’ rights, and claiming that he was causing “harm”

Eventually, according to the Washington Free Beacon, the event got so chaotic that federal marshals had to escort Duncan out of the building.

Meanwhile, prior to the event, members of the Federalist Society were publicly villified. Their names and pictures were put on a poster saying that they had invited Duncan to campus, with the words “You should be ashamed” written on them.

Now, Duncan is calling on Steinbach to be fired and has also warned that with these sorts of things happening at Stanford, still considered one of the top law schools in the nation, the country should be worried about the future of the legal system.

“If enough of these kids get into the legal profession,” he told the Washington Free Beacon, “the rule of law will descend into barbarism.”

He is absolutely right. These students represent the future of the legal profession, and we should be worried that these woke students will one day be dominating the courts.

Imagine these students as lawyers and judges. They would be perfectly willing to sacrifice the Constitution and the rule of law to uphold a woke leftist social agenda.

Meanwhile, Steinbach’s actions prove that Stanford should no longer be considered one of America’s top universities. A school where students are allowed to behave like this does not deserve to be considered one of America’s finest.

Of course, given that Steinbach is the dean of “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” we really would not expect anything else from her. But it is still disappointing to see school administrators allow this to happen.

The way that the students and staff of Stanford University treated Duncan was absolutely shameful, and it presents us with a dire warning of what the future holds for the rule of law.

And people wonder why most of the country ******* loathes Kalifornia.

When the DIE champion advocates for limiting freedom of expression, her stupid arse needs to be fired. People and professionals have a right to speak their opinion on matters, and squelling that limits free speech. Maybe that corpulent fat black woman who gets paid way too much for creating discord should be punished for forgetting her role in "inclusion".

Jonathan Turley Tears Into Stanford Law School After They Dig Deeper Hole

Quote:As RedState previously reported, all hell broke loose Thursday at Stanford Law School after triggered students effectively shut down Judge Kyle Duncan, a Trump appointee, as he attempted to give a speech at the invitation of the school’s Federalist Society group.

To quickly recap, video of the event showed the woke mob repeatedly heckling and shouting at Duncan, a 5th Circuit Court of Appeals judge, with no intervention from the school administrators who were in attendance beyond Tirien Steinbach, the Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

But instead of trying to restore order, Steinbach proceeded to lecture Duncan about how “uncomfortable” he made her and the students in the room because some of his decisions allegedly “[deny] the humanity of people” including a convicted transgender sex offender with who Duncan refused to play pronoun games in 2020.

After all was said and done, Duncan reportedly had to be ushered out by federal marshals in the interest of keeping him safe.

Though Stanford wrote an official apology to Judge Duncan two days later, which affirmed their supposed commitment to free speech and expression while promising to take “steps to ensure that something like this does not happen again,” they stepped in it yet again hours later with an email sent by Dean of Students Jeanne Merino, who advised students including those in the Federalist Society of “threat assessment” options and to reach out to, among others, DEI Dean Tirien Steinbach, in the interests of preserving their mental health:

There is much to process about Thursday’s event and its aftermath, but the focus of this email is to provide you with resources that you can use right now to support your safety and mental health. I’ve seen and heard from several of you who are concerned for your safety and are having a hard time processing last week’s events. I am so sorry that you are having to deal with this difficulty at all, much less now. Please pass this information on to your broader membership.

[…]

Please reach out to any of us here at SLS if you would like support or would like to process last week’s events: a. OSA (Jeanne Merino, [email protected], Holly Parrish, [email protected], John Dalton [email protected], and Megan Brown, [email protected]), b. DEI (Tirien Steinbach, [email protected]) c. Levin Center (Diane Chin, [email protected]; Anna Wang, [email protected]).

As Georgetown Law School professor Jonathan Turley observed, advising conservative students to reach out to the DEI Dean, who stood in solidarity with the mob, is like “telling Chris Rock that Will Smith is available as an emotional support coach.”

“You know what is emotionally therapeutic for those denied free speech?” Turley went on to say. “Free speech.”

Turley also blasted Merino, pointing out that essentially what she wants is to address the free speech issues brought up by what happened Thursday by telling students that maybe they should… be quiet:

It is also worth noting that Merino suggests that the best way to deal with this free speech controversy is to curtail free speech. The email suggests that “Student organizations should consider pausing their student organization social media accounts until this news cycle winds down, as the law school and university have done. Try your best not to engage on Twitter or any other social media platform, as issues tend to escalate and trolls are looking for a fight.”

I understand that shutting down social media discussions can protect students from public criticism. However, it would also tend to reduce criticism of the law school from within the community. Any controversy will draw wider commentary and criticism. Is it better to avoid that public debate as a member of this community to avoid the trauma of contradiction? This is an existential debate over an anti-free speech culture at the school. If there is a time to be heard as a student or a group (on either side of this debate), it is now.

Sadly, these types of deliberate disruptions of conservative expression at higher ed institutions by supposedly “tolerant liberals” has become more the norm than the exception. Which is why it is imperative for conservatives to remember the old saying about how the best response to the attempted suppression of speech is to get even louder.

My company goes through these DEI executives every couple years it seems. That was my experience at my former employer as well. They all are basically the same person and I don't know what they actually do. We have required "training" every year but it is all on a module purchased by a vendor that anyone could arrange.

Here's a Link To Prof. Turley's column.

Quote:Yesterday, I published a column on the disgraceful actions taken by students and Stanford DEI Dean Tirien Steinbach in an event featuring Judge Kyle Duncan of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Steinbach’s condemnation of Judge Duncan was chilling but hardly surprising. It is part of a sweeping environment of intolerance and orthodoxy in our institutions of higher education. Last night, Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne and Law School Dean Jenny Martinez issued a joint apology that is commendable in its words of regret, but conspicuous in its failure to promise any action against those who shutdown this event. It is like expressing regret over the sinking of the Titanic without addressing the design flaw.

Quote:Steinbach promptly declared that “I had to write something down because I am so uncomfortable up here. And I don’t say that for sympathy, I just say that I am deeply, deeply uncomfortable.”

One would expect that the next line would be a condemnation of those who refused to let opposing views to be heard in the law school. Instead, it turns out that it was the free speech itself that was so stressful and painful for the law dean.

Quote:Judge Duncan was right to be confused. A law school dean was legitimating an attack on free speech and supporting the claim that hearing opposing legal views on issues like the Second Amendment is harmful to students.

Later, Duncan told the Washington Free Beacon he was concerned that “if enough of these kids get into the legal profession, the rule of law will descend into barbarism.” He added that he was most concerned for how conservative, libertarian, and independent students were treated: “Don’t feel sorry for me. I’m a life-tenured federal judge. What outrages me is that these kids are being treated like dogs**t by fellow students and administrators.”

What he saw in that room was all too familiar for many of us. I have had conservative students ask me if they could speak freely in classes at George Washington. Conservative and Republican students routinely sit quietly as professors and students abuse conservatives and their values out of fear of retaliation. A poll at the University of North Carolina found that conservative students are 300 times more likely to self-censor themselves due to the intolerance of opposing views on our campuses.

Our system of "education" has trained these kids to believe that shouting down an opposing viewpoint is fine, that free speech is no big deal. Cancel culture has been institutionalized. Who loses? Everybody who is denied the opportunity to hear the opposing viewpoint. But these students are so sure of their own opinion that they won't allow any other viewpoint to be heard. Congrats, students as you have identified yourselves as the new authoritarians. You just don't realize it yet because of your own hubris. The liberal education has achieved its goals.

Stanford Students Rip Woke Dean Who Led Heckling of a Federal Judge, Demand Ouster

Quote:Stanford Law School students savagely criticized the school and one of its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion deans in a piece in the school’s publication, “Stanford Review,” with this simple but powerful headline atop its front page: “Fire Tirien Steinbach.”

Fire Tirien Steinbach https://t.co/imVeG5Usgy

— The Stanford Review (@StanfordReview) March 12, 2023

As RedState’s Jim Thompson reported, Steinbach, Stanford Law’s Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, joined students in heckling and screaming at Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals judge Kyle Duncan who was attempting to deliver a speech. When the judge asked for an administrator to intervene, Steinbach instead piled on and launched into a six-minute tirade claiming Duncan was “literally denying the humanity of people.”

His crime? He refused to retroactively change court records to reflect that child porn enthusiast and repeated sex offender Norman Varner decided after his trial to identify as female and demanded to be referred to as “Kathy Jett.”

Although the university belatedly delivered a written apology to the jurist, many felt that it was a weak one at best, and there seem to have been very few consequences for Steinbach for her outrageous behavior. As SisterToldjah reported, the university then compounded its mistakes by issuing a letter to students who were upset about the interruptions to seek mental health help…from Tirien Steinbach.

After all was said and done, Duncan had to be escorted out by armed marshalls to ensure his protection. At a “top” university.

Imagine if Tirien Steinbach was a conservative white male Stanford dean who had berated a federal judge appointed by Pres. Obama. Yeah, I can’t either.https://t.co/DrZj80Ggl3 pic.twitter.com/ZSbecohqcV

The Stanford Review bills itself as a student-run independent newspaper. The outlet’s article, credited to “multiple authors,” described their disgust with how the situation went down at a school that touts its commitment to free speech:

Perhaps the only thing uglier than the Stanford Law School building is the events that took place there on Thursday. The Stanford Federalist Society’s event with Kyle Duncan, a judge on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, was disrupted by a mob of unruly law students and a Stanford DEI Dean who prevented the judge from speaking entirely.

They point out that she was just as much to blame for the circus as the rowdy students:

… at the center of the debacle was not the group of unruly law students, but Stanford Law School’s own Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Tirien Steinbach.

These students believe Steinbach should pay a consequence for sullying their school’s reputation so badly, and that Stanford’s statements that it values free speech are pointless if administrators don’t do anything to you know, actually protect free speech:

The apology also said that Stanford would take steps to ensure this does not happen again. However, it is unclear what Stanford plans to do to prevent such disruption in the future. Firing Dean Steinbach is a good start.

The university’s apology will be completely meaningless unless concrete actions are taken to rid the administration of anti-speech zealots.

. They also note that the associate dean clearly planned for this whole thing to go down:

Someone who is so eager, at the behest of an unruly mob, to shut down free speech, which Stanford itself considers “a bedrock principle for the law school, the university, and a democratic society,” has no place as a Stanford dean. She helped engineer chaos with her email before the event, delivered prepared remarks interrupting his speech, took the spotlight for herself, and has shown no remorse since.

The article is very good; it would appear that some Stanford Law students at least are getting an education—or, rather, haven’t allowed Stanford to make them less intelligent than they were upon arrival. They close with a powerful argument:

If these law students are to be trained for bench and bar, it certainly should be with a deep respect for the bedrock principle of free speech. Steinbach’s actions not only degrade the principles of free speech but degrade the prestige and reputation of Stanford Law School itself.

They’re right. One of my colleagues wondered if federal judges are going to get leery about hiring Stanford Law grads as clerks —probably too much trouble to deal with.

I agree with this comment by Judge Duncan to the WA Free Beacon: “If enough of these kids get into the legal profession, the rule of law will descend into barbarism,” The students should be expelled for this reason plus they made Stanford look like it’s a bunch of clowns.

Stanford should get rid of this woke, abusive administrator, or at the very least hand out some actual discipline instead of just writing letters.

I'm sure Tanq is going to come along any minute and explain what we really saw. He will then tell us Marxism/socialism is not actually a cause of the rot across the country.

Any minute.... just wait..

Lolz. Ive always been a far edge free speech guy. I actually donate fairly heavily to F.I.R.E. And used to do pro bono work on speech rights in educational settings.

Shutting down the judge was atrocious. As was the ambush by the dean.

That shutdown happens more and more from left leaning people to do the shutdown in and about academia.

Nice try at trying to 'predict' my POV and stance. lolz.

When you look at the atrocious behavior of the students in that forum, and the atrocious behavior of the dean at that program --- maybe you should look at it an reflect on *your* behavior at times in these forums.

I just came from a discussion with you and a few others where my POV was a that a law on 'drag dancing' looked overbroad from my persepective -- yours (and others') responses to that POV was that anyone who didnt jump on board with the law at issue without question was a 'groomer', and that in your opinion you had zero issue with it being overbroad as you were comfortable with the stance of 'screw em.... let the innocent draggers be arrested --- they can appeal'.

So I find your lecture here on speech and behavior to be rather deeply hypocritical Max.... even though we ended *that other* discussion on relatively smooth terms.

And, by the way -- not to justify the students' and dean's behavior -- but Duncan is a jurist that is even slightly not even palatable to me (and I support Ho, and a slew of other far right judges, especially in the 5th circuit.)

In practice prior to the bench, Duncan has gone out of his way to oppose *anything* that would affirm any basic rights issues for the LGBTQ community. In fact, he was an actual 'in the frontlines' advocate for state laws that impinged or denied the ability for gays to adopt children. So, given his very far fringe position on that and many related issues, while the students' and dean's actions were poor, they were not entirely unexpected given his record.

I can pretty assuredly say I've never used the word groomer about you and your stance in that thread.

Regarding this, my point is that almost every single university across this country is just like this... it IS 100% the moral rot due to socialist/marxist ideals. The point Tigerblue directed to in that thread and you dismissed. As I've said multiple times in multiple threads, the Trojan horse to introduce this rot was the education system. From the very beginning Kindergarten to the end.... like this "law" school.

Yes -- many here continuously refer to how this is occurring 'just like marx outlined.' And I mean *continuously*.

Universities should hand out semester suspensions to students who engage in mob shutdowns.

1st Offense - can't attend next semester
2nd Offense - withdrawn from current semester following withdrawal rules.


I know they won't do it, but the should.

These students and the administrator should be ashamed of themselves for treating a guest speaker like this. Do they not realize how privileged they are to have a federal judge speak at their university? Moreover, do they not understand they might learn something from someone with more life and professional experience than they have (last I checked, Judge Duncan has been in the profession for decades while they haven't even taken the bar exam). The DEI administrator had the audacity to lecture to this man and tell him he needs to "learn" something (but they don't)? Seriously?

In terms of culpability, I find the actions of the administrator far worse than the students.

In fact, that administrator has in her title 'inclusion'. Yet she felt absolutely comfortable in attacking the speaker.

As for the issue of the 'yelling shutdown', think about three other episodes in the past that have included these types of 'shutdowns', and tell me what your stances are on those in light of the Stanford shutdown ---

1. The shutdown of the Miami (?) county clerk office during the Gore/Bush recount fiasco by protesting 'righties'?

2. The shutdown of *a figurative ton* of town hall meetings of Democratic congressman during the 'Tea Party summer'?

3. Last, but not least the shutdown of Congress during the certification of the last election?

Not trying to do a 'whadabout', if I am apologies. Just bringing to the forefront that not all shutdowns are against the right. If you all are so adamant about how horrific the Stanford event was (and, I admit, the conduct by the students was stupid, immature, and in horribly bad form, and the conduct by the administrator should get her a suspension), what are your views on the 'shutdowns' by the right above?

Finally, Duncan does sit at the *very* extreme in terms of jurisprudence, even in the 5th Circ. To the extent that while I am comfortable with Ho, Willett, and the another 3 or four in that Circuit that are considered *very* right, Duncan has represented some absolutely highly extreme causes prior to becoming a Circuit of Appeals judge.

I mean, seriously ---- backing state restrictions on adoption focused on being gay?

Good grief. I know loads of gay couples that would make *far* better parents than many man/ woman couples. That is one aspect of Duncan I cant seemingly gloss over.

Tell us you believe in free speech while showing us you don't. Complete setup here. She had prepared remarks. Total embarrassment to what used to be a stellar University.

When these things happen it always reminds me of the show-trails under Stalin and Mao where people would scream accusations at the accused.

We SHOULD be better than that.

Good luck getting any other federal judges to come and relay important information and experience to students that no one else has. I commend this gentleman for not blowing up. He was the only one there that had any level of decency. Shame on the students that sat quietly while he was attacked. I thought college was a place for the exchange of ideas...regardless of ones personal view? We are doomed as a country if this is not quelled.
