Students at Stanford Law School staged a protest against Dean Jenny Martinez after she apologized for the disruption of an event featuring a Trump-appointed federal appellate court judge, Kyle Duncan.
Duncan, who serves on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, was supposed to deliver a lecture at the law school on Thursday, but he was disrupted by a group of protesters composed primarily of students but also included Tirien Steinbach, the school's dean of diversity, equity, and inclusion.The disruption drew outrage from free speech advocates and conservative commentators, who especially noted Steinbach's participation in the protest.
Meanwhile, in the days since the disruption, calls have grown for the law school to dismiss Steinbach, including from conservative students at the school, who said it was"unclear what Stanford plans to do to prevent such disruption in the future." "If Stanford cares about free speech, it must fire any administrator who actively encourages these unruly actions against it," the students"Someone who is so eager, at the behest of an unruly mob, to shut down free speech, which Stanford itself considers 'a bedrock principle for the law school, the university, and a democratic society,' has no place as a Stanford dean."
The apology did not sit well with Martinez's own students, who staged a protest Monday in the dean's constitutional law class by blanketing the whiteboard with flyers that read,"Counter speech is free speech," and standing silently as she left the classroom,
