Last week, students at Stanford Law disrupted a Federalist Society event that featured U.S. Circuit Court Judge Kyle Duncan. Duncan was prevented from speaking by unruly protesters and berated by the school's associate dean of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Now, some of the protest leaders, many of whom shared the names and pictures of Federalist Society members online and in posters, are unhappy because the Washington Free Beacon published their names.
"NEW: The same students who plastered the names and faces of the Stanford Federalist Society all over the school are now demanding anonymity from the Free Beacon. They say we've violated their right to privacy by identifying them. You can't make it up," Aaron Sibarium, a journalist for the Washington Free Beacon, tweeted Friday.
"On Sunday, I identified board members of the Stanford National Lawyers Guild--one of the groups responsible for the posters--who in a public statement described the protest as 'Stanford Law School at its best.' A few hours later, the board demanded I redact their names," Sibarium reported.
Sibarium said that Lily Bou, a board member of the Stanford National Lawyers Guild, sent an email demanding the Free Beacon remove her name and those of other students from their reporting. "Listing our names serves no purpose other than to invite abuse and harassment," she wrote.
"I wonder what purpose the posters of the fedsoc board served," Sibarium wrote.
"You do not have our permission to reference or quote any portion of this email in a future piece," she added.
"Needless to say, that's not how the First Amendment works," Sibarium commented.
He went on, "We've gotten similar complaints about publishing images—pulled from social media—of Stanford Law School dean Jenny Martinez's classroom, which protesters covered end to end in flyers after she issued an apology to Judge Duncan."

Or will get a better job.
Bttt
These are LAW students. Who wants to hire them?
Well, they can always get public defender positions in Blue cities.
Who is Noone? And why does Noone have right to privacy?
Whose rights were violated?
Duncan was prevented from speaking by unruly protesters
Hoist!
Typical leftist bullies in that they want their cake and to eat it too. Why should they be wary of being identified? Worried that it might affect future job prospects? The public defender's office always needs attorneys.

One of my high school classmates (openly liberal) was forced to go to Evergreen State College by his control-freak mother. To this day he calls it the worst experience of his life.
There is nothing in the constitution specifying the right to anonymity due to one’s actions.
I recall attending a Presidential candidate’s rally in 2010. On cue, about 15 college students disrupted the event, on cue from the liberal college professor. I had my camera ready and snapped about a dozen fotos of the anarchists. Wish I could have identified them and posted their fotos.
At present we live in a free society, but there should be consequences for adults acting irresponsibly. I don’t agree with the wearing of identy concealing masks in public places.
