Students wearing masks and black clothing lined the hallways outside the Stanford Law School dean's classroom after she apologized to federal judge Kyle Duncan.
The 'Outnumbered' panel discussed the incident and the broader debate surrounding free speech on college campuses.Stanford Law School
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.
"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.""The protesters were silent, staring from behind their masks at everyone who chose not to protest, including the dean," the individual said.
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."
