Shoot those "students" and leave them to rot in the street.
U.S. Circuit Court Judge Kyle Duncan clashed with disrupters at Stanford
Law School and remarked that they were 'juvenile idiots'

Full audio of U.S. Circuit Court Judge Kyle Duncan's presentation at
Stanford Law School published Wednesday provided greater context with
regard to his speech being shut down by protesters and the associate dean
of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Tirien Steinbach's scolding lecture
directed at the judge.

Last week, Duncan's speech before Stanford Law School's The Federalist
Society chapter was disrupted by left wing students who claimed he was
racist and perpetrating injustice on minorities. Steinbach took the
protesters' side and suggested that the Trump-appointed judge's views were
"abhorrent," "harmful," and "literally denies the humanity of people."

The elite law school's associate dean also questioned "is the juice worth
the squeeze? Is this worth it?" as it pertained to the judge's ability to
speak.

Audio published Wednesday by attorney and legal writer David Lat offered
greater context for the disruption. While some previously contended it was
only hard to hear the judge due to the poor audio quality of the video,
the new recording made clear that when the DEI associate dean was
speaking, she was able to be heard perfectly. However, when the judge
spoke, there was so much heckling that his speech was not audible to
listeners.

The audio recording also revealed the embattled judge dueling with
protesters around ten minutes into his speech, after he gave up on being
able to deliver his prepared remarks due to all the disruption. Duncan
called the left wing campus protesters "juvenile idiots" and said that
"prisoners are now running the asylum."

Students screamed "this is our jurisdiction!," "this is a valid form of
communication!," and "you don't respect us!" at the judge. Later in his
remarks, the judge questioned whether the event had become a "struggle
session" - a reference to forced re-education that plagued communist
countries in the 20th century.

Duncan's speech was not the only event hosted by a conservative group to
be disrupted at a California campus this week. At UC Davis, conservative
activist Charlie Kirk's appearance was met with violence and vandalism by
ANTIFA members and far-Left students who clashed with police.

In an opinion piece published by Fox News Digital, legal scholar Jonathan
Turley argued these two incidents represent a widespread attack on free
speech.

"Our institutions of higher education have become academic echo chambers
where opposing views are no longer tolerated and preventing free speech is
claimed to be acts of free speech," the George Washington Law professor
wrote.

Kill the students involved. Shoot them and leave them to rot in the

Hundreds of silent masked students surround Stanford Law dean for
apology to heckled federal judge: 'Eerie'

Hundreds of student protesters wearing masks and all-black clothing
lined the hallways outside Stanford Law School Dean Jenny Martinez's
classroom after she apologized to U.S. Circuit Court Judge Kyle Duncan
for the disruption of his recent speech.

On Monday, Martinez, who teaches constitutional law, arrived to find her
whiteboard covered in fliers ridiculing Duncan and defending those who
disrupted his speech. The fliers echoed the opinion of student activists
and some administrators who claimed hecklers derailing Duncan's talk was
a form of free speech.

After her class ended, protesters, obscuring their faces with masks that
said "counter-speech is free speech," stared at Martinez as she left.
The protesters formed a "human corridor" that stretched from the class
to the building's exit and contained nearly a third of the school's
student body, according to students who spoke with the Washington Free
Beacon.

Approximately 50 out of the 60 students in Martinez's class also joined
the protest and scowled at those who did not join in.

"They gave us weird looks if we didn't wear black" and join the crowd,
first-year law student Luke Schumacher said. "It didn't feel like the
inclusive, belonging atmosphere that the DEI office claims to be
creating."

Another student, who requested anonymity for fear of retaliation, said the
experience was "eerie."

"The protesters were silent, staring from behind their masks at everyone
who chose not to protest, including the dean," the individual said.

The protest was even larger than the one that occurred days earlier and
came after the Stanford National Lawyers Guild said Martinez had thrown
"capable and compassionate administrators" under the bus. Similar comments
were made by the school's Immigration and Human Rights Law Association and
the school's chapter of the left-wing American Constitution Society.

Last Thursday, Stanford's Federalist Society chapter invited Duncan to
speak. However, the Trump-appointed judge was shouted down and heckled by
hundreds of students who made it impossible for him to deliver his speech.

Video footage widely shared on social media shows that the school's
associate dean of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), Tirien Steinbach,
did nothing to quell the disruption as protesters hurled verbal abuse at
the judge.

Instead, Steinbach gave a minutes-long and emotional speech at the event,
accusing Duncan of causing "harm" through his work on the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and questioning the school's policies on
free speech.

The students were particularly angry at Duncan for a 2020 opinion in which
he refused to use a transgender sex offender's preferred pronouns. In
comments to the Free Beacon, the judge described the incident as a
"bizarre therapy session from hell."

Duncan was never given a chance to read his prepared remarks. After a
hostile and profane Q&A session, he was escorted out the back door by
federal marshals, who were there to protect him, the Free Beacon reported.

Following the event, Steinbach claimed the students hadn't violated any
law school policies and alleged that Duncan hadn't prepared a speech, a
claim contradicted by video footage and Duncan himself, according to
students. She also allegedly said he was a "serial provocateur" who made
fun of students in order to rile them up for the cameras.

DIVERSITY DIRECTOR SAYS SHE WAS FIRED FROM CALIFORNIA COLLEGE FOR
QUESTIONING ANTIRACISM 'ORTHODOXY'

Over the weekend, the university apologized to Duncan for the incident.

"We write to apologize for the disruption of your recent speech at
Stanford Law School," Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne and Martinez
wrote in a joint statement. "As has already been communicated to our
community, what happened was inconsistent with our policies on free
speech, and we are very sorry about the experience you had while visiting
our campus."

The letter also claimed that staff members failed to enforce university
policies and "intervened in inappropriate ways" that did not align with
the school's commitment to free speech, but the letter did not mention
Steinbach by name.

Speaking with the National Review, Duncan said he appreciated the apology,
particularly Stanford's acknowledgment that the administrator's behavior
"was completely at odds with the law school's mission of training future
members of the bench and bar."

"Such an apology would also be a useful step towards restoring the law
school's broader commitment to the many, many students at Stanford who,
while not members of the Federalist Society, nonetheless welcome robust
debate on campus," Duncan added.

These "law students" should be killed and their bodies burned in the
streets.
Stanford Law School protesters faced criticism after heckling Trump-
appointed U.S. Circuit Court Judge Kyle Duncan during an event on campus
and for plastering the names and faces of campus Federalist Society
members all over the school last week.

Now they are demanding their names be redacted from a Washington Free
Beacon report covering the incident, arguing that keeping their names
public could invite "abuse and harassment."

Aaron Sibarium, a reporter for the Free Beacon, said not so fast.

STANFORD LAW PROTESTERS DEMAND TO HAVE NAMES REDACTED FROM NEWS REPORTS:
‘NOT HOW THE FIRST AMENDMENT WORKS'

"[Our] reaction was ‘no way. We're not going to do that,'" he told Fox
News' Will Cain on Sunday. "For one reason, they just have no reasonable
right or expectation of anonymity given that they were caught on tape and
protesting in a highly public forum…

"The other thing too is that they didn't just shout down a sitting federal
judge, they also posted the names and faces of every member of the
Stanford Federalist Society, every board member who helped invite him," he
said. "They posted those names and faces around the school in a concerted
effort to shame their peers and pressure them out of hosting the event."

NEW AUDIO OFFERS INSIGHT INTO STANFORD STUDENTS' WILD DISRUPTION OF
FEDERAL JUDGE: ‘YOU DON’T RESPECT US!'

Sibarium said Stanford National Lawyers Guild board member Lily Bou's
request to remove her name and the names of others came shortly after the
Free Beacon published a report publicizing them.

"Those exact students [who plastered conservative students' names on
campus] emailed me to say, ‘Oh, by naming us in the story, you’re ginning
up harassment, so it's really quite hypocritical," Sibarium told Cain.

He also tweeted last Thursday that a request from a Mary Cate Hickman
demanded the face of a student in a red hoodie be "anonymize[d]" because
"California is a two-party consent state."

APPEARS TO SMIRK

Hickman alleged the Free Beacon had no right to publish the student's
identity without consent.

"It's quite concerning. A key precondition of the rule of law is that the
law applies equally to everyone… and yet, these students seem to think
that the rules don't apply to them."

He blasted the "double standard" of protesters demanding their names being
revoked from reports while they sought to publicly shame their
conservative counterparts for engaging in free expression by hosting
Duncan at the on-campus event.

"It's antithetical to the rule of law. Pretty soon, I think that double
standard is going to be more mainstream among lawyers and judges," he
said.
