Stanford was right to apologize. This is an embarrassment to the institution. Denounce the speaker online or shun the Federalists who invited the speaker or protest outside the venue. But preventing the speaker from speaking and the attendees from listening? That's totalitarian shitbirdery and ought to make law students unemployable.

President, law school dean apologize to Judge Kyle Duncan for ‘disruption’ to his speech

In a letter co-signed by President Marc Tessier-Lavigne and SLS Dean Jenny Martinez, the University apologized to Duncan for the “disruption” to his Thursday speech at the Law School, calling the incident “inconsistent with [the University’s] policies on free speech.”

@carolannie Not really very sympathetic to the notion "conservative provocateur successfully provoked useful idiot law students"
