       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.  https://stanforddaily.com/2023/03/12/president-law-school-dean-apologize-to-judge-kyle-duncan-for-disruption-to-his-speech/

       (It's worth remembering, before the Stanford Federalists pose as free speech martyrs TOO much, that they reported and tried to derail the graduation of a student who made a satirical flier about one of their events.)

       @Popehat: What use is freedom of speech if you can't use it to tell a powerful creep that he has been a very naughty boy until he goes away in shame?

       @riley I'm sure the people menacing and harassing drag shows would agree with you.

       @Popehat: But there's no powerful men in drag shows. (On the stage, at least. We all know that they show up in the audience inbetween denouncing drag shows.)Punching down is never okay. Punching up, contrariwise, is an important right in need of constitutional protection.

       @riley You know that the people denouncing drag shows think that an overwhelmingly powerful liberal culture is crushing them, right?Everyone thinks they're the good guy.  Why not just say "people I disagree with should get shouted down" and be done with it?

       Can't wait for Stanford to allow Marxist-Lenjnist speeches advocating for the dictatorship of the proletarian and death to the USA
