'Another day, another tantrum at one of the nation’s top law schools... It’s time for rational people to stop pretending that the rules of polite society require them to tolerate this nonsense,' GianCarlo Canaparo writes.
That’s no mere bluster in the face of criticism; they sincerely believe it. Josh Blackman, an associate professor of law at the, explains that this arrogance is possible when a school’s department of diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, supports students’ victim mentality:
The last time a top law school joined its radical students to stifle the free speech rights of other students and their guests, two prominent federal judges announced that they wouldfrom the school . That was deeply embarrassing for Yale’s law school, because placing students in clerkships is a major mark of a school’s success and prestige. As a result, Yale all but groveled for the judges’ forgiveness and committed to stronger free speech protections.
First, Stanford should punish the students who protested and the administrators who did nothing. Duncan has called for Steinbach to be fired; she should be. It isn’t enough for Stanford’s president to rebuke unnamed “staff members” for failing to enforce the free speech policy. A few pink slips, on the other hand, might encourage those who remain to behave.
In the meantime, the students of the Stanford Federalist Society should consider filing complaints with state bar examiners about the moral character of the protesters. Duncan is right: Lawyers can’t be both good at their jobs and closed-minded zealots.
