Trump-appointed judge wants apology after ambush from Stanford dean

A federal judge appointed by former President Trump was ambushed by about 100 student protesters and a woke diversity dean who derailed his talk at Stanford Law School and accused him of causing “harm” to students.

Tirien Steinbach, the school’s associate dean for diversity, equity and inclusion, subjected U.S. Circuit Judge S. Kyle Duncan to a lengthy harangue and made it clear to him his presence on campus was unwelcome, video of the event shows.

“It’s uncomfortable to say this to you as a person. It’s uncomfortable to say that for many people here, your work has caused harm,” Steinbach claimed during the judge’s attempt to speak to Stanford’s chapter of the conservative Federalist Society.

“This event is tearing the fabric of this community that I care about. and I’m here to support,” she hectored. “For many people at the law school who work here, who study here, and who live here, your advocacy — your opinions from the bench — land as absolute disenfranchisement of their rights.’

Steinbach, a former program officer at the American Civil Liberties Union, spoke at length about her commitment to free speech — while refusing to offer Judge Duncan an opportunity to speak.

Duncan said he didn’t get far into his talk when he was interrupted — and accused the dean of being in cahoots with left-wing student comrades to derail the event.

“In my view, this was a setup, she was working with students on this,” Duncan said.

I came here to advise the judge; “Don’t hold your breath waitng for those Socialists to ever apologize!”

I’m glad to be wrong on that.
The judge should say ‘Apology accepted, now curb your Dogs!”

It’s extraordinary the rude manner in which some students and professors treat speakers they don’t agree with, all the while proclaiming they are for inclusion and free speech. I wonder what can be done about this when the government wants these people censored, too.

“ASSociate dean for diversity, equity and inclusion” is the job they give you when they can’t come up with anything useful for you to do.

Couldn’t he file a $10 million dollar suite against the school
and the person who pulled this routine, for denying him the
right to address the group he was invited to address?

He has a professional position, has broken no laws, is not
a racist, or anything else these idiots claim he was.

It’s a defamation of his character what they pulled, and
I don’t see why he should have to sit still for it.

Bankrupt a few of these professors and take major funds
away from the school, and they’ll grasp reality in the
future. Stop the nonsense!

They would probably suspend anyone for not using the requested pronoun and the let this happen. The protesters should be suspended.

I object to this headline. It should read, "Federal Judge...", not "Trump-Appointed Judge..." Even the NYPost can publish some ignorant stuff.

Since the rise of computerized "grammar", newspapers have done away with editors, exascerbating the trend towards liberal progressive language at every opportunity. Editors used to keep factual news stories factual instead of opinionated.
