What about the Dean of DEI? Why is she still employed, or even allowed on campus?
Some students who are advocates of free speech penned an opinion piece in the Stanford newspaper... the Stanford Review.
Good to know there are at least some students there who understand what free speech means.

No, this has nothing to do with judges and everything to do with campus climate.
Are abortion rights activists welcome to speak at conservative Christian colleges? Campus climate!
Obama spoke at Notre Dame at their commencement.

Meh. The only guarantee you have is you won’t be imprisoned by the government for your speech. This notion that you are owed a platform or audience for reprehensible viewpoints (which much of what passes as “conservative” these days is) is wild — you aren’t. The world is equally free to reject your speech, ridicule you for it and hold you accountable for hateful things you say and do, which includes being canceled professionally. Natural consequences. It’s not like your speech is valid just because you are free to express it without fear of imprisonment.

Slow clap. Beautiful example of exactly the reprehensible behavior exhibited by Stanford law students - and deans. I have news for you. You don't INVITE someone to come and speak and then treat them like a pariah - without even letting them speak. Get over yourself. And exactly what "hateful" things has this judge said or done?
The people who yelled at him didn’t invite him. Do people with beliefs like these guys truly think that their beliefs aren’t wildly unpopular and unreasoned? The fact that you sucked up to Leonard Leo and got appointed by a reality TV star does not make your viewpoints above reproach
What on earth are you babbling about? The people who didn't want to hear him speak could have - wait for it - simply not shown up. But then they would have passed up the opportunity they LIVE for, which is emoting on a grand scale, filming it, and posting it online in search of validation and "likes". I'm actually glad it *was* posted online, so the rest of us can see what utter and complete imbeciles they are.
The right to not show up exists for every protester outside an abortion clinic, and I never hear you civility people on about it.
The students protesting pay tuition. They are allowed to show their displeasure for someone invited to their university and no one has to pander to that judge.
I'm imagining their outrage (and yours) had a liberal speaker shown up only to be shouted down by conservative protesters. You'd probably be calling for their arrests.

Exactly. Do these students not know they will work with and for people with a variety of viewpoints?

Back in the 90’s when I was at university, this student conduct would have been unthinkable.

Yes. Let's only appoint activist left-wing judges who are more concerned with current culture and base their decisions on current trends in social justice instead of actual law.
It is actually time to start rejecting these snowflake law students as clerks. They have neither the temperament nor the skills to practice law.
Well these radical right wing judges call for not hiring any law students who disagree with them. I guess they keep a list and rule against any firm that hire these students? Talk about not having the temperament?
It’s too bad there are no left wing judges to balance these absurd excuse for “judges”.

+100
Amazing that he was an *invited* speaker and she bulldozed right in there and monopolized the lectern so she could bray about absolutely nonsensical garbage. Interesting that another dean was brave enough to state that behaving that way goes against Stanford's free speech policies. I sincerely hope Steinbach is thrown to the curb.
Funny that you’re cool with Trump.
Did you just use the word “bray” with a woman? Yikes. Says a lot about you.
