    They aren't Liberal, these Brown Shirts are the opposite of Liberal.

    Free Speech at Yale Law School.

    “You don’t need to be conservative to be troubled by goings-on at YLS. After my open letter to Dean Heather Gerken about the latest free-speech controversy at Yale Law School (“YLS”), a highly disruptive protest by progressive students of a Yale Federalist Society event on March 10, I received supportive (private) feedback from YLS faculty and alumni. But one of my sources at 127 Wall Street expressed pessimism about the situation improving, claiming that the administration is far more strongly aligned with the protesters—and far more indifferent to free speech—than I realize.”

    "Most “student protests” in support of lefty causes are as authentic as the “students” who seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran. The protesters are actually tools of the people who run things, tools whose role is to give those people an excuse to do what they want anyway, while intimidating any opposition."

    These Authoritarian Bastards lie about everything and they need to be beaten, one ballot at time, one courtroom at a time. These folks who signed this deplatforming censoring letter are clearly unfit for Clerkships and Judgeships in our Constitutional Liberal Democracy.

    "MEALYMOUTHED AND INADEQUATE": A Message From Yale Dean Gerken On The March 10 Protest. There should have been discipline.
    No wonder Yale is such a disappointment.

    I don't think anything will be done and it will continue to happen:

    Maybe it's the Tide Pods?

    Our Constitutionalist Courts are certainly stepping up though.

    MAKE THE BASTARDS PAY: Judge refuses to toss lawsuit against UCLA by professor who rebuffed race-based grading request.

    Haul their asses right into the nearest Courtroom and make them explain themselves to an impartial judge.
    [​IMG]
    Said NO, to Racist Grading System.​

    The case, if not settled, will go before a jury next spring.
    Idiot Dean actually suspended him for asking those questions of the person asking him for racist grading.
    Gee, I guess this idiot Dean was unfamiliar with that union provision?
    And, the village idiot that runs UCLA was also unaware that it would be ILLEGAL for the professor to engage in racist grading?
    So this Dean Clown is also a liar. And pulling down in the neighborhood of $300,000 a year.
    Yes. Sue the lying bastard, personally. Let him explain to his wife why they have to write a six figure check to an employee that he lied about, to the entire school.
    This lying leftwing authoritarian son of a bitch appears to have acted with actual malice, that makes the bastard personally liable.

    This is the way forward for Constitutionalists; the voting booth, boycotts and the courtroom. Things like the unruly protests that the Left is known for, simply are not an effective tool for us.

    Slam it to this Rights Violating Left Wing Authoritarian Dean Bastard!

    Great...
    Big Whoop...
    Fire him, Make him (and UCLA) pay $10 Million in Damages, Blacklist him from Academia...
    The overwhelming majority of people are perfectly satisfied to leave the eventual outcome to the Courts...
    Prof. Gordon Klein has a good case.
    (Personally, I would love to see UCLA Pay, and Dean Bernardo Fired).

    And, as is obvious, IN GENERAL TERMS:
    Blowing a gasket on an Internet Forum isn't going to change a thing (either way)...:smh:
    Left Bad! Authoritarians Bad! Lefty Authoritarians REAL BAD! :roflol:
    ^Everybody Gets It...:bored:

    He was eventually exonerated and reinstated. Klein, who joined the Anderson School in 1981, continues to teach as a lecturer there.
    “A reasonable fact finder could conclude that the June 4, 2020 email implies a provably false assertion of fact,” Judge Ford stated. “ … Implying [Klein’s] administrative leave was a form of disciplinary action for his June 2, 2020 exchange or any alleged violation of UCLA’s core principles was false.”
    Judge Ford also allowed a cause of action against Dean Bernardo personally to stand.

    US Senators, Governors Call on Yale Law To Punish ‘Vitriolic Mob’ That Disrupted Free Speech Event.
    These abusive students are unfit for the Judiciary and they all signed their names to the petition.
    Yale's knee-jerk response was a dishonest denial of the massive rights violations perpetrated by these abusive Yalees.
    Speaking truth to entitlement.

    As I pointed out before, the gay movement started with a riot. Not their fault, but this sounds more like them than Yalies.

    DISPATCHES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE: Bravo, Judge Ho. “The Fifth Circuit’s James Ho says he’s no longer hiring clerks from Yale Law—and urges other judges to join him. ‘If they want the closed and intolerant environment that Yale embraces today, that’s their call,’ Ho said. ‘I want nothing to do with it.’”

    FED UP WITH WITH THESE CHILDISH AUTHORITARIAN FREAKS

    Giving Yale Law School The Heave-Ho. “I don’t think the risk of a boycott is limited to the judiciary. A future Republican administration can categorically label every YLS grad a squish. It is quite feasible for President DeSantis (a HLS grad) to simply boycott all Yale grads who matriculated after 2021. Good luck with explaining why you chose to stay at YLS for that shiny brass ring as some Chicago grad gets the nom.”

    There was nothing wrong with the way the article was written, so the blame for its difficulty, holding your attention, must be attributable to some other cause: perhaps any "news" that is not peppered with slams against people on the Left, quickly looses your interest.

    Giving Yale Law School the Heave-Ho.

    'A federal clerkship is a coveted position. Judges wield vast amounts of power in selecting their clerks–so vast that fear of reprisals have forced many clerks to stay quiet in the face of abuse. I even proposed eliminating clerkships as a way to eliminate this imbalance of power. But so long as federal clerkships remain, judges will still exercise nearly-unfettered discretion over who they hire. . . .'

    'Yes, bestowing a clerkship on a candidate can be the key or his or her success. It opens up so many doors, including access to a clerk alumni network.'

    'This background brings me to Judge Ho’s plan to stop hiring graduates from Yale Law School. Judge Ho offered a host of reasons that support his decision, which I won’t address here. Rather, I will offer another way of understanding this boycott.'

    'Imagine you are a senior in college. You were accepted to Yale Law School, as well as several other top-tier schools. Mazal tov! Now you have a choice. How do you choose between Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, Chicago, and Virginia? Perhaps there are financial constraints–some schools may give more aid than others. There may also be personal constraints, such as the need to be close to family. More likely than not, neither of these factors would tip in favor of Yale. I doubt that YLS gives substantially more generous financial aid packages, and New Haven is a pain to get to. Instead, I think an applicant would choose Yale over those other schools because of prestige. Yale is the number-one ranked law school. It looks like Hogwarts. It has the top-ranked scholars. It pumps out circuit and SCOTUS clerks at a really high rate. Many applicants have a glide-path into academia. Your classmates will go on the highest ranks of government. And so on.'

    'Now, imagine you are a right-of-center senior in college. More likely than not, you are familiar with recent episodes on campus, including the “Traphouse” imbroglio. And even if you are not familiar with it, you will find out. How? I am reliably informed that the Harvard Law School admissions office is working with the HLS FedSoc chapter to identify conservative applicants, and persuade them to choose Harvard over Yale. And others outside of Yale are giving similar messages.'

    YLS Dean Heather Gerken has given into madness and now her students are bearing the consequences of their refusal to recognise the rights of others.

    YALE LAW SCHOOL IS TOO TOTALITARIAN-CURIOUS

    ABOUT TIME: Pushback: Because of Yale Law School’s enthusiasm for blacklisting, more than a dozen judges now refuse to hire its graduates.

    [​IMG]

    “Students should be mindful that they will face diminished opportunities if they go to Yale,” said a prominent circuit court judge, whose clerks have gone on to nab Supreme Court clerkships. “I have no confidence that they’re being taught anything.”

    They should be being trained in CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERAL DEMOCRACY and how government interacts with FREE SELF-DETERMINED PEOPLE rather than chanting about and engaging in lawless authoritarian systematic violations of the civil rights of others.

    '“Yale presents itself as the best, most elite institution of legal education. Yet it’s the worst when it comes to legal cancellation.” The school “sets the tone for other law schools, and for the legal profession at large. I certainly reserve the right to add other schools in the future. But my sincere hope is that I won’t have to. My sincere hope is that, if nothing else, my colleagues and I will at least send the message that other schools should not follow in Yale’s footsteps.”

    'Ho’s message to law schools was clear: “If they want the closed and intolerant environment that Yale embraces today, that’s their call. But I want nothing to do with it.”'

    NONE OF US DO.

    'Nor is Ho exaggerating about Yale’s intolerant track record. In 2015 students demanded the firing of two administrators because each had defended the idea of free speech. In 2016 students demanded that Yale stop teaching English literature.'

    AND THEN IT GOT WORSE

    'These events were only preliminaries to the complete takeover of the blacklist culture in 2021. In February 2021 students and professors at the college pushed a petition to revoke the degrees of all well known Republicans. That same spring law school administrators threatened two students with blackballing if they didn’t write false complaints against a teacher those administrators wanted to get rid of. Then, in October 2021 the school administration attacked a student for something he had written as well as his membership in The Federalist Society.'

    'This was followed in March 2022 by a mob of more than 100 Yale law students attempting to shut down a panel on civil liberties, with the school’s administrator refusing to take any action.'

    FOLLOWED BY REFRESHING PUSHBACK FROM A FREE PEOPLE

    'The boycott by the judges of Yale however is a very good sign. Intolerance of free speech must be met by a greater intolerance of the oppressors. Since Yale wishes to embrace the teaching of blacklisting and censorship, it seems fitting that others decide to blacklist Yale graduates. Such students will have certainly been taught badly. There is thus no reason to hire them.'

    He understands it, he just didn't know that you understand it as well.

    HIGHER ED WAS JUSTIFIED AS PROMOTING GOOD CITIZENSHIP: Yale student paper blames free speech for gay club shooting.

    Political Activists have replaced the Intellectuals.

    'The newspaper editors ignored the claim by the suspected shooter’s attorneys that their client is “non-binary” and uses “they/them” pronouns to blame conservatives for the deadly shooting that killed five people.'

    They are false narrative promoters.
