Stanford Doubles Down On Upholding Free Speech Violations

WASHINGTON - March 27, 2023 - PRLog -- Just The News has uncovered that Stanford Law Hides Identities of Students Who Shut Down Conservative Judge Since (https://justthenews.com/nation/free-speech/bizarre-and-dangerous-stanford-law-hides-identities-students-who-shut-down) Sen. Ted Cruz and Law Professor Ask Bar Admission Authorities to Intervene, (https://justthenews.com/nation/free-speech/bizarre-and-dangerous-stanford-law-hides-identities-students-who-shut-down) by "going out of its way to inhibit bar admissions authorities and judges from learning who was involved."

Stanford Law School's [SLS] decision to try to block such efforts is at the very least questionable, says public interest law professor John Banzhaf.

As the article also notes, "Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Banzhaf have both said they are contacting bar admissions authorities to ensure they scrutinize Stanford Law graduates who may have participated in the disruptions, and possibly refuse admission to confirmed participants," but Banzhaf has found an easy way to identify many of the guilty students.

It notes that the Dean decided not to impose any discipline on the students she has identified as having violated its free speech guarantees - including even the mildest sanctions in its list such as "education" or "community service" - and its DEI dean who apparently led the disruption which stopped a federal judge from speaking is likewise doubling down:

As Stanford Law Students Who Shouted Down Judge May Be Reported to California Bar (https://www.thecollegefix.com/stanford-law-students-who-s...) explained: "Asked how he plans to identify the law student protesters, Banzhaf said in an email to The College Fix that the 'names of some of the disruptors have been posted in various places on the Internet. There are also several video recordings of the event showing many of the disruptors.
"'Her reasoning' for the non-punishment 'would have earned a low grade if submitted by a law student,' George Washington University law professor John Banzhaf said in an analysis that called the decision 'bizarre and dangerous.'"

The activist professor explained the rationale behind his actions this way in Law Prof To File Bar Complaints Against Stanford Students Who Heckled, Harassed Federal Judge (https://dailycaller.com/2023/03/20/law-professor-bar-complaint-stanford-students-heckled-harassed-federal-judge/):

California bar authorities have indicated that they will thoroughly investigate any incident which might reflect on the applicant's "respect for the rights of others and for the judicial process."
