Stanford Law Sides With Howling Mob Of Spoiled Brats In Shameful Treatment Of Federal Judge
Stanford UniversityAccording to U.S. News and World Report,’s law school has been ranked second in the country in the most recent U.S. News and World Report. This means that its current students include future senators, judges and even Supreme Court justices who could help shape American law in the next 50 years.
This should scare you.
The Palo Alto campus hosted a federal appeals judge who was highly qualified. He was greeted by students and verbally abused, while school administrators cheered them on. Students shouted “scumbag!” And “liar!” Everywhere Fifth Circuit Judge Kyle Duncan Their childish outbursts won the approval of school administrators, who allowed them to speak.
Duncan sought assistance to restore order in his life so he could address the problem. Federalist Society Students who wanted his opinion, an administrator with a dubious title “associate dean of diversity, equity, and inclusion,” He was given a five-minute lecture.
“We believe that the way to address speech that feels abhorrent, that feels harmful, that literally denies the humanity of people, that one way to do that is with more speech, and not less,” Tirien Steinbach was Stanford’s DEI chief. She said this as she clenched her hands beseechingly. “And not to shut you down or censor you, or censor the student group that invited you here. That is hard, that is uncomfortable, and that is a policy and principle that I think is worthy of defending, I think, even in this time.”
One of the most shameful displays in recent history was when Stuart Kyle Duncan, 5th Circuit Judge, tried to speak with Stanford law students. Angela Steinbach, DEI Dean appeared and lambasted judge Duncan. https://t.co/htAFlELvaF

Red carpets!
Steinbach, who repeated this phrase “Is the juice worth the squeeze?” A graduate of California Berkeley School of Law, she tried several times to make her passive-aggressive plea more profound. She spent part of her professional career at the San Francisco-area ACLU and then moved to academia amid the DEI craze.
“And again I ask: Is the juice worth the squeeze?” She was curious. “Is it worth the pain that this causes and the division it causes? Do you have something so incredibly important to say about Twitter and guns and COVID that is worth this impact and the division of these people who have sat next to each other for years?”
Yes, it is worth hearing a federal appeals judge speak about young future lawyers. However, civility dictates that such a guest should be treated with respect. Duncan should have been challenged by aspirants to be attorneys with probing questions about their opinions and not impudence. This was a fact that every law student, administrator, and faculty member knew a generation ago.
Duncan was finally allowed to speak. Many of the protesters marched out indignantly, instead of engaging meaningfully with Duncan or challenging their views from a legal mind. They were not going to listen to Duncan if they couldn’t silence him. This strategy will serve them well if they ever have the opportunity to argue a case in front of Duncan or any other serious judge.
Donald Trump’s 2018 appointee Duncan was a former Trump advocate who had argued numerous cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He is being criticized by lunatic leftists for a 2020 opinion where he refused the preferred pronouns to Norman Varner. After he pleaded guilty, Kathrine Nicole Jett changed his name and became Duncan. Duncan committed child sex offenses and forfeited his right of being heard at Stanford Law.
Steinbach was the only person to speak, but three other Stanford Law administrators were there, giving tacit approval for the protesters’ groaning. According to one Stanford Federal Society chapter member, Jory Stahle, Holly Parish, Associate Director for Student Affairs Holly Parish, Megan Brown and the Student Affairs Coordinator sat on their hands throughout the disgusting spectacle.
Duncan was eventually escorted from the event by federal marshals. The Washington Free Beacon Protesters need to be disciplined. Steinbach’s lecture, which he described as a “stupidity”, should be taken seriously. “bizarre therapy session from hell,” should be fired.
You don’t have jurisdiction over America’s elite law school, sorry judge. They’ve rejected freedom of speech and academic rigor with all the certainty and finality that an Antonin Scalia opinion would have. A few years ago, there was a window in which these institutions could have stood against the howling children that they had admitted. Instead of accepting the First Amendment and almost 250 years of American law, where they taught that understanding and listening to differing opinions was crucial to persuasive arguments, they hid and became consumed.
After these schools gave in to the new generation of brainless maniacs, Steinbach and other academic and legal light-hearteds took over. They are now out of options. Intolerant, radical, and leftist jackanapes now control the nation’s most prestigious law schools. They believe that all people with different world views are evil and therefore deserving incoherent contempt. Their faculties and administrations were too afraid to face the mob. They now agree with it.
Stanford Law admits less than six percent of applicants. Those who are accepted have high undergraduate grades and LSAT scores that rank in the top one to two percent. Even that is not enough. In the application, students are asked how they feel about their school. “culture, socio-economic status, sex, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or other factors” Will “contribute to the diversity of the entering class.”
These anti-intellectual loons weren’t able to sneak into Stanford. They were recruited, unlike their conservative peers who were admitted on merit. They have Judge Duncan’s respect and sympathy, and they deserve yours.
“Don’t feel sorry for me,” Duncan shared the Free Beacon. “I’m a life-tenured federal judge. What outrages me is that these kids are being treated like dogs*** by fellow students and administrators.”
