Should Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson join the Supreme Court, she’ll be a role model for students seeking careers in the legal profession. So senators this week should ask her views of protesters who shut down a recent Yale Law School discussion on free speech.
The Federalist Society event paired Monica Miller of the progressive American Humanist Association and Kristen Waggoner of the conservative Alliance Defending Freedom.
Yet some 120 students refused to tolerate anything the ADF (which they deem an anti-LGBT “hate” group because of its religious-liberty work) might say, so they assaulted the event, raising a ruckus and threatening panelists in a bid to silence them.
The protesters stomped, shouted, clapped, sang and pounded the walls nearby, making so much noise it disrupted classes, The Washington Free Beacon reports. They also blocked the only exit and grabbed and jostled at least two FedSoc members. Police had to be called to escort panelists safely from the site.
