Earlier this month a mob of students and administrators at Stanford's Law School disrupted a Federalist Society event that was to feature a lecture by federal Court of Appeals judge Kyle Duncan. The angry mob, shouting and hurling threatening epithets at the judge, prevented him from speaking, thereby preventing other students from hearing what he had to say. The school's associate dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Tirien Steinbach, who sent out an email prior to the event alerting students to the scheduled appearance of a judge whose views, she wrote, had caused "upset and outrage." At the event itself, Dean Steinbach took the microphone

The protesters at Stanford are likely not aware of it, but their actions may have blown up the affirmative action cases. The Left always keeps pushing & Hubris,though it takes time,has always come down on dem. Right, Disney?

To have people of diverse minority backgrounds and races which includes their views, is it necessary to have more than a few of each? One qualified black student is perfectly capable of sharing his or her views with a thousand white and Asian students.

Diversity promotes "the tolerance and mutual respect that are so essential to the maintenance of our civil society." so that's what they offered the judge, tolerance and respect.

ABA Model Rule of Professional 8.2, adopted verbatim by many states, provides: "a) A lawyer shall not make a statement that the lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to its truth or falsity concerning the qualifications or integrity of a judge, adjudicatory officer or public legal officer, or of a candidate for election or appointment to judicial or legal office." The Stanford students and diversity dean directly accused Judge Duncan of lacking integrity because they disagreed with some of his published decisions. Their behavior was disgraceful. If they do that as lawyers in a public forum, they will be subject to state bar discipline. Unfortunately, the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee are increasingly disrespectful to federal judges at confirmation hearings. They, however, are protected from discipline under Const. Art. I, Sec. 6 "speech and debate clause." A pity they model such behavior in front of a national audience.

I have a simple question to ask. Why would anyone want to employ any of these law school attendees? And, who was responsible for hiring this DEI dean? She has been very successful in indoctrinating the law school attendees in the cult of victimhood and blind hatred. She and the person that hired her should be fired for indoctrinating them in this poisonous dogma.

For what its worth, in my experience diversity means hiring unqualified people to fill a square. More often than not they will turn out to be worthless employees who cant be fired or disciplined because of their kevlar skin color or sex. So everyone else takes on their workload and is cautioned to say nothing. Yeah. We's equal.

#13, that is why it’s wise, if one is in a position to hire someone, to never hire any minority or affirmative action type. You’re only asking for endless trouble. And this is just one more reason why AA is detrimental to those it is supposed to help.

#3, the key word here is "qualified." That's why they put so much emphasis on equity because organizations are then forced to accept the unqualified. All they have to do is pay attention in school and earn that degree but that's where the disconnect is.

#17, the predecessor to Affirmative Action is the Labor Union, which has served the purpose that you stated only for a much longer time. I have worked in companies under both and there is little difference aside from skin color. Most public schools are unionized so the problem begins for us around age 5.

What this showed was how intolerant that group could become, and how little they cared about being inclusive or considerate of a diverse set of opinions. They also highlighted how easily persuaded they are. Interestingly, the Left likes to talk about how "children aren't born hating, they are taught to hate". Well, I would surmise that many are being taught to hate, or at least to be overly biased, to judge someone based on the color of their skin without considering much else.

The ripple effect of Joe Biden’s mismanagement 4 replies

The banking crisis is like a brick thrown into our economic pond. Busted banks don’t just sink silently to the bottom, never to be heard of again. Their plunge sends ripples out across the entire surface that wash into every financial inlet of our lives. If you think this has nothing to do with you because you didn’t invest in Silicon Valley Bank or keep an account there, think again. The spreading circles of its demise will splash you if you merely feel the pinch of high interest rates or buy groceries. Thanks, President Joe Biden! Why? Because his policies are to blame.
Republicans blast Biden response to American
death in Syria as 'weak,' 'indefensible'

Republican lawmakers on Friday lambasted President Biden for his response to the death of an American in Syria, arguing that he's showing weakness and failing to deter America's adversaries. The criticism came one day after Biden ordered the U.S. military to carry out retaliatory airstrikes in Syria, where Iranian forces had killed a U.S. contractor and wounded six other Americans in a drone strike. The U.S. launches reportedly killed eight Iranians. Iranian-backed proxy forces then proceeded to carry out their own retaliatory strikes on Friday, launching rockets that targeted a U.S. base in northeast Syria. There are no U.S. casualties and no damage to the base, according to first assessments.

President Joe Biden is reportedly frustrated at Vice President Kamala Harris for not "rising to the occasion" as his second-in-command, according to a recent report from Reuters.

"If he did not think she was capable, he would not have picked her," one former Biden official told Reuters. "But it is a question of consistently rising to the occasion," the official said.

U.S. House Rep.

The bill seeks to strengthen parents' knowledge of and involvement in their children's education. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy described the purpose of the bill as follows: "The Parents Bill of Rights has 5 pillars to ensure parents have the right to have a voice in their kids’ education: Right to know what’s being taught in schools and to see reading material; Right to be heard; Right to see school budget and spending; Right to protect their child’s privacy; [and]

Thousands of human bone fragments believed to include the remains of victims from the Nazi and colonial era were buried in Berlin on Thursday. They were found in 2014 during construction work at the campus of Berlin's Free University, a site that was once home to the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology, Human Heredity and Eugenics. The university believes the bones came from "criminal contexts" dating back to Germany's colonial period and that "some of the bones may also have come from victims of Nazi crimes."

Losing Canada 5 replies

After the Chinese Communist Party’s 1949 victory in China’s civil war, the question of “Who lost China” rocked Washington. As President Biden makes his first presidential trip to Ottawa this week, he should ask if the next country about which that question will be asked is Canada. The loss would not be economic. The U.S.-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade pact continues to underpin a vast economic relationship neither party wants to undermine, although recent Biden administration policies to promote “Buy America” are an irritant that violates the spirit of that agreement. Canada, as the smaller and more trade-dependent partner, cannot afford to lose the privileged access to U.S. markets that the USMCA ensures.

More than six weeks have passed since a Norfolk Southern train derailed in the small Ohio town of East Palestine. Toxic chemicals were released into the area, and the lives of more than 5,000 Americans were forever changed. The American people have been justifiably terrified by images of a massive black plume of smoke and toxic chemicals in creeks nearby. There are over 1,000 train derailments, and they are right to worry that their hometowns could be next. The U.S. government must provide the American people with the security of knowing that what happened to East Palestine will not happen again.

Oil companies have come under increasing legal scrutiny and face allegations of defrauding investors, racketeering, and a wave of other lawsuits. But a new paper argues there’s another way to hold big oil accountable for climate damage: trying companies for homicide. The striking and seemingly radical legal theory is laid out in a paper accepted for publication in the Harvard Environmental Law Review. In it, the authors argue fossil fuel companies “have not simply been lying to the public, they have been killing members of the public at an accelerating rate, and prosecutors should bring that crime to the public’s attention”.

But Kyle’s heartbreaking story has some rather concerning and extenuating circumstances: Kyle had abandoned his birth name and instead, was living as Kayleigh Scott…he was “transgender.” More than that though, Kyle was a poster child for the “trans” movement and corporate “inclusion” policies like DIE. In 2020 United Airlines celebrated “Kayleigh” in a woke public relations campaign video:

Additionally, she dismissed her Archbishop’s demand for her to repent for endorsing abortion.
