Stanford Law School shouldn’t have caved and catered to a “woke mob” that derailed a lecture given by a Trump-appointed federal judge — and then issue an apology for the ambush, a former law professor said.
Ex-Georgetown University law prof Ilya Shapiro told Fox News Stanford hindered free speech by shutting down the March 9 event featuring Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Kyle Duncan.
Tirien Steinbach, the school’s associate dean for diversity, equity and inclusion, along with student protesters, heckled the jurist during his lecture.
He was unable to finish and was escorted off campus by federal marshals.
“University officials … are spineless cowards unwilling to enforce their own rules when they’re violated by students, much less administrators,” Shapiro told Fox News.
“People should be allowed to protest … but hecklers shutting down events, that does not counter free speech,” Shapiro scoffed. “That imposes on others free speech.”
