Yale Law School Dean Heather Gerken says the recent disruption of a bipartisan panel about civil liberties by hysterical woke leftists — where one student screeched “I will literally fight you, bitch” — did not violate the school’s free speech policy.
Earlier this month, nearly 120 woke Yale Law School students disrupted a bipartisan panel by trying to shout down and intimidate the speakers who later had to be escorted out of the building by police. One of America’s best and brightest future Ivy League graduates screeched at the conservative panelist: “I will literally fight you, bitch!”
Dean Gerken said that while she found the student outburst “unacceptable,” and a violation of “the norms of this Law School,” it was nonetheless not a violation of the school’s free speech policy.
“Under the University’s free expression policy, student groups have every right to invite speakers to campus, and others have every right to voice opposition,” Gerken said in a campus-wide email. “Our commitment to free speech is clear and unwavering,” the dean added. “Because unfettered debate is essential to our mission, we allow people to speak even when their speech is flatly inconsistent with our core values.”

In reaction to the disruption, a D.C. circuit judge urged his colleagues to “carefully consider” whether the Yale Law School students who were seen hysterically shouting down a bipartisan panel discussion on free speech last week “should be disqualified from potential clerkships.”
they were there to shut down free speech
doublespeak
Yale Law School Dean Heather Gerken
Physical threats are OK if coming from leftists, but try saying that homosexuality is a disorder, or that men cannot become women by adding a wig and makeup.
Leftist Bitch!
The college chaps are destined for a life of horror. Deprivation, loss, fear, death, hunger and thirst. Uncertainty and confusion. Violence undreamed of, oppression on every front. Short awful lives.
Shouting down those you disagree with doesn’t violate Yale’s free speech policy.
It seems that conclusion opens the door wide for Yale conservatives to dish out the same treatment to leftist speakers on campus. We’re never going to get anywhere against this onslaught of evil by being polite. One of Alinksy’s “Rules for Radicals” was to hold your enemy to their own standards. Leftists are nothing if not inconsistent, contradictory, and hypocritical, so they’re easy targets for this. We must be relentless in making them live by their own professed principles.
Has Yale ever defended the right of parents to complain at school board meetings?
Shut it down and throw them all to the curb
The dean is in a real pickle.
Hysterical woke leftists ship is sinking they are of no use to anything some have trouble growing up it’s what keeps prisons full.
