More than 400 Yale Students Sign Letter Against Alliance Defending Freedom Appearing on Campus
Breitbart ^ | 04/02/2022 | Alana Mastrangelo

Posted on 04/02/2022 10:50:56 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

More than 400 Yale Law School students — over 60 percent of the school’s student body — signed an open letter against free speech and a police presence on campus after hysterical woke students shouted down a bipartisan panel about civil liberties featuring the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).

Last 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 ADF representative: “I will literally fight you, bitch!”

After that, over 60 percent of Yale Law School’s student body signed an open letter condemning the school for inviting a representative from ADF to campus, and calling on administrators to change Yale Law “policies or practices that invite police officers onto our campus in response to peaceful student protests.”

“We write as a coalition of queer students and allies deeply concerned with the presence of armed police at a peaceful protest of law students on campus,” the students began in their letter.

The letter went on to explain that “an organic student protest emerged” in response to the panel, “and, instead of listening to student concerns, faculty told peaceful student protesters to ‘grow up,'”

"We write today because, in addition to the deeply disrespectful presence of ADF on campus and the faculty moderator’s dismissal of our peaceful action as childish, armed police officers were called into the Sterling Law Building in response to our exercise of peaceful protest,” they continued.

These highly privileged people are about to emerge from college into the real world, where their radicalism, insanity and delusions will change the world, and not in a good way.

Well since they are against free speech- tear up their letter and say “Too bad so sad, they are going to be speaking here whether you like it or not”

Spank the out of control brats- they need it!

Well, we now have a list of those law students that we want to be as far away from the practice of real law as possible. Since Yale was the school for Bubba and the Hillabeast, they have a good start on successful production of felons and liars.

How do they reconcile their intolerance with the concept of free-speech? Doesn’t Yale law school teach anything about free speech? Very sad

How can professors teach what they themselves do not understand and fully embrace?

They’re not lawyers. They are political activists and future liberal apparatchiks.

That Yale Thing

The only professor I ever had, who I can truly say I honestly despised, was a Yale grad.

“I will literally fight you, bitch!”

That’s what passes for debate at a premiere law school these days?

an open letter against free speech and a police presence on campus

Give them what they ask for, pure anarchy.

"No arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death: and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short."

Hobbs

They may have some cash and possessions going in, nothing coming out.

True Nazies goose-stepping to quell freedom of speech. As their apparatchik professors admire the success of their progroming.

“a coalition of queer students” is a group of mentally ill people stuck in a cave that they cannot get out. If each person said one rosary a day (ten minutes) for one month, then they might get unstuck from their mental illness.

They do not have the moral capacity to be at the bar.

Pampered little puppies that, in most cases never got their hands dirty working or had to figure out whether to buy gas, food or pay the rent.

I'm starting to understand why the Iranian clerics shut down all the universities in the country for several years, just to purge the unwanted elements. Never thought such measures would seem appealing here, but the inmates are now truly running the asylum.

It seems that we cannot avoid the coming conflict. I just wonder if what emerges on the far side of it will even be recognizable.
