The list of serial embarrassments at Stanford reads like the suicides of Greek tragedy, where divine nemesis follows hubris.
Stanford was once one of the world’s great universities. It birthed Silicon Valley in its prime. And along with its nearby twin and rival, UC Berkeley, its brilliant researchers, and teachers helped fuel the mid-20th-century California miracle.
That was then. But like the descent of California, now something has gone terribly wrong with the university.
Students at Stanford Law School recently shouted down visiting Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Kyle Duncan. He had been invited to give a lecture by the school’s Federalist Society.
The judge never even got the chance. The law school students drowned him out. They flashed obscene placards. They screamed that he was “scum.” One yelled he hoped the judge’s own daughters would be raped.
Others bellowed, “You’re not welcome here, we hate you!” “Leave and never come back!” “We hate FedSoc [Federal Society] students, f–k them, they don’t belong here either!” and “We do not respect you and you have no right to speak here! This is our jurisdiction!”
When the judge tried to reply, they drowned him out with “liar” and “scumbag.” Then, mission accomplished, they smugly stomped out.
Note these were ostensibly not teenaged undergraduates. Instead, they were wannabe adult professionals, in law school to learn jurisprudence and to enter the elite American legal system that is supposed to have protocols separating it from the mobocracies prevailing abroad.
One of those foundational principles is to honor the Constitution’s protection of free speech and expression—not to mention the ancient idea of respecting an invited guest, or the custom to treat with deference a federal judge, to say nothing of the duty to honor the codes and laws of the institution

‘Fun loving people, entrepreneurial, great people, non-communist.’
and if you tell them to wear a useless facemask for the rest of their waking hours (or maybe even beyond) against the miniscule possibility of a future lethal pathogen, they will do so without the hint of a question...
educated they may be; smart, not so sure about that...
"mission accomplished" indeed.
Mao’s cultural revolution ended when the army brutally suppressed Red Guard. The leaders, like Madame Mao, were tried and executed. So far, the Red Guard has acted with impunity in blue zones. It will be interesting to see what happens when they operate in red zones. The Ga cop city attack was the first incident where Antifa got a significant push back.
What’s your point? America di that too and still does. I bet you even did.
“It all started when they changed their team name from the “Indians”.”
Yes, that, plus when their Marching Band could not stop a touchdown by UC Berkeley.
The US Justice Department. These young Communists will be Federal Workers with a guaranteed salary, benefits and a set pension for doing very little work.
They don’t have to worry about being hired. They’ll get elected. Entry level will be the apprenticeship program of the local school board.

Actually, I bet there are plenty of government agencies that will hire them.
“The Ga cop city attack was the first incident where Antifa got a significant push back.”
South Carolina has been busting these noodle-armed Marxist weenies since 2014. Five to 10 sentences as terrorists under South Carolina’s anti-klan laws. The nazi media will embargo these stories because they don’t want their useful idiots to know they could end up in state prison for 10 years.
But, a great deal of damage.
About 10 years ago I turned down a job at Stanford. I needed a minimum of $128,000 / year to be on their network IT team as a primary wireless engineer/architect. They wouldn’t come up any more than $120,000.
Ended up turning out great for me, though.
Really surprised enrollment is that low when many universities have enrollment of 40,000 or more. And the number of faculty and especially staff is beyond absurd.
I think rat faced Nancy Mace staged her hate crime. Seems unlikely that Antifa would paint graffiti on her house. I think she pulled a Jussie.
