Stanford University has apologized to a Trump-appointed judge who faced an embarrassing protest by a woke student mob - joined by the school's dean of 'equity' - after he was invited to speak at the college's Law School.
Judge Kyle Duncan, from the fifth circuit of appeals, was ambushed by associate dean of equity, diversity and inclusion Tirien Steinbach during a discussion Thursday night.
Steinbach - a former ACLU lawyer who previously defended free speech - initially claimed Duncan had a right to express his views. But she then launched into an impassioned six minute speech - which she had written down - condemning his life's work.

Stanford sure has low standards for its employees anymore, what a rotten, low class organization.

Apologies do not mean much, unless there are consequences. Firing this two-bit twit would be a consequence. Then maybe an apology would be in order and acceptance be considered. Maybe!

This has happened before at Stanford hasn't it? If it has, a pattern of behavior has been established and this letter is just a CYA. Large universities have destroyed their reputation with all of this woke bs, I hope their enrollment drops because the "not crazies" decide to stay away from them to educate their children.

What a weak group of students who can't even politely listen to a conservative without having an anxiety attack. Typical liberals.

If the have an "associate dean of equity, diversity and inclusion", they must have a dean of equity, diversity and inclusion. What duties does such a person have? Are they so arduous that there has to be an associate dean of equity, diversity and inclusion? Sounds like a scam to me.
Also, what kind of parent names their child Tirien? Is that a name, or a jumbled bunch of letters to make their child "unique", just like all the others?

The dean is a fake dean and should be fired. She is nothing more than another lefty activist. She should have been part of the protest mob rather than a dean. The school knows this. The apology is as fake as the dean herself.

I naturally assumed if she was Dean of Equity she was black, so i looked her up and found a light skinned knee grow pictured. As I suspected. Equity for thee and not for me.

Who hired this woman? Her ugly demeanor exposed a nasty lack of tolerance, which seems at odds with the concept of diversity and inclusion.
Rather than advocating for diversity, equity and inclusion, she stood by while self-appointed "enforcers" disrupted, excluded and intimidated classmates. The "know it all" crowd was so fragile, it melted down at the mere prospect of a speaker expressing ideas without the progressive stamp of approval. One can't help but wonder how students prone to throwing tantrums are going to handle themselves as lawyers. Seriously. If listening to opposing views is asking too much of them, how can they possibly be prepared for a career where shouting down your opponents is frowned upon?

NEWSFLASH!
Tirien Steinbach has been promoted to president of Stanford University - - replacing Marc Tessier-Lavigne - - who was fired for writing a letter of apology.
If you apologize for anything - - you're not a true communist.

The clowns of the communist left again show their true colors. To a communist there is no free speech, there is no differing of opinion and there is no open minded discussion. It is their sick narrative or nothing. Once again a university displays what communism is all about. It's all about groveling at the feet of their leaders and their pathetic agenda. Appalling.

Two things are now required for an institution of higher learning to be considered on the top echelon. First is a wining football team, and the other is an office of diversity, equity and inclusion Both have great power on the campus, and enjoy being riven unlimited resources.

The apology should be for having a 'dean' of equity in the first place.

I did not know that Pumpkinhead Steinbach had her speech written down, so she PLANNED this entire ambush? Today's college students are biased, idealistic, leftist, disrespectful and this bunch probably got into Stanford on lower standards. In any future hiring, I would give younger workers priority if they had worked at a useful trade for four years instead of attending one of these institutions of higher indoctrination. I hope the judge responds with a scathing letter of rebuke.

Hopefully this hairy beach ball will be brought before Judge Duncan one day for the inevitable crime that she will commit or has committed and he gives her a little taste of white privilege. To be fair, all Diversity and Affirmative Action implants across the country have this same attitude, mo' black mo' better.

Any apology from Stanford is meaningless until the Dean is removed and the protesting disruptive students are expelled for their actions. The courts should blacklist their people make sure that they are never given clerk positions. Look forward to the day when one of them has to go before Judge Duncan.

If Stanford Law wants any real accountability, they should fire DIE Dean, Steinbach, expel the students who disrupted the forum, and eliminate the DIE office entirely.

A family member is at Stanford...I hope he is sharper than this dweeb....when someone can be so rude that they stop another from speaking...it makes you wonder who raised this Steinbach person...and what is she afraid of...the truth or another opposing view point?...or perhaps the truth will set people free and this scares the woke crowd to their core....

Did we really expect a real apology? This was a NON apology apology! Commies don't apologize, they destroy, intimidate, and silence!
I grew up in Santa Clara Valley aka Silicon Valley when it was conservative, churches were many, families were traditional, police were respected and Stanford was halfway sane. No more. Insanity has taken over. Churches have lost their influence and Governor Grusome has sold the State out to illegal aliens. Sigh. The Golden State has turned brown from the poop.

Only one thing will get Stanford's attention: For Stanford alumni to cut off the donation spigot and them to see donations dry up over the alumni's displeasure over the antics of the current woke administrators and students. As Stanford is supposed to be an educational institution, the best thing to do would to be to fire the involved employees and expel the involved students so they can see what real world consequences are like. That would be the ultimate education for these woke people.

An APOLOGY?????? No way....this is not something you apologize for---I've heard what this daffy Dean actually said and she has no place on that campus. Nor do half the students, it would seem. I have to remind myself that the not that bright Chelsea Clinton is a graduate...their "standards" have been slipping for awhile.

To be fair, watching the video, there were male students who did not join in on the female hysteria.
