Two federal judges appointed by former President Trump warned law schools to “crack down” on student interruptions, as many institutions have seen student activists shut down conservative guest speakers.
“Too many institutions of legal education have become laboratories of divisiveness, not leadership,” wrote Judges James Ho, of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and Elizabeth Branch, of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. “Too many educational institutions have stopped teaching students an essential skill of citizenship: knowing how to agree to disagree with one another.”
“Thank goodness the Federalists won — America is the most successful nation in human history. But if we do not reverse the toxic environment on our nation’s campuses soon, we may ultimately prove the Anti-Federalists right,” the judges wrote in the National Review on Wednesday. Last year, a bipartisan panel on free speech at Yale was interrupted. And last week federal Judge Kyle Duncan, a Trump appointee to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, was shouted down by students at Stanford Law School while a faculty member stood by.
“This disgraceful behavior is antithetical to the principles of free speech and open discourse that are essential to the mission of any credible academic institution, let alone a top-tier law school. Such behavior also clearly violates Stanford Law School’s Campus Disruption Policy. As such, Stanford Law School is well within its rights to discipline these students for their behavior, and indeed, I strongly urge the school to do so.
