Fifth Circuit Judge Stuart Kyle Duncan noticed posters on campus that read 'you should be ashamed' 

 

PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA: A conservative judge who endured harassment at Stanford Law School alleged that student protesters shouted insults at him before woke dean Tirien Steinbach berated him in "a staged public shaming." The student branch of the Federalist Society asked Fifth Circuit Judge Stuart Kyle Duncan, 51, who was appointed by Donald Trump, to speak at the prestigious law school last week about the circuit's Court of Appeals. 

 

But when he got to the school, the conservative judge was greeted by about 100 protesters yelled at him, one of whom said, "We hope your daughters get raped." The judge also noticed posters on campus that read "you should be ashamed," and others claimed he had committed "crimes against women, people who are gay, blacks, and "trans people,"' he claimed in a Wall Street Journal op-ed.

Who is Stuart Duncan?

Judge Duncan graduated with a BA from Louisiana State University in 1994, a JD from Louisiana State University's Paul M. Hebert Law Center in 1997, and an LLM from Columbia Law School in 2004. He served as a law clerk for Fifth Circuit Judge John Malcolm Duhé Jr., who is located in Louisiana, after completing law school. Duncan worked for the Louisiana Attorney General's office as the Appellate Chief from 2008 to 2012. He was the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty's chief counsel from 2012 to 2014. He served as the University of Mississippi School of Law's associate professor of law from 2004 to 2008. Duncan worked as a lawyer at Schaerr Duncan LLP in Washington, D.C., where he was a founding partner, prior to being appointed a judge. On May 1, 2018, the President of the United States nominated him to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, as per The Federalist Society.

What did Kyle Duncan say?

According to the Stanford Law School's website, there is a "collegial culture" there where "collaboration and the open exchange of ideas are essential to life and learning," Kyle Duncan said. This didn't seem "collegial," Prior to his arrival, he was informed that there might be protesters, and the school had to permit them, but they told him they were "on top of it." He was assured that the school would handle any disruptions, but according to Duncan, nothing like that actually happened.

'The Stanford protesters saw it differently'

Many students barged into the classroom brandishing signs that read "FED SUCK" and "Trans Lives Matter" in an attempt to jeer the judge about his ruling in the case US vs Varner, in which "a federal prisoner serving a term for attempted receipt of child pornography...petitioned our court to order that he be called by feminine pronouns." "As my opinion explained, federal courts can’t control what pronouns people use. The Stanford protesters saw it differently: My opinion had 'denied a transwoman’s existence."

'You’re not welcome here, we hate you!'

Even after being abused, the Federalist Society president attempted to introduce Duncan so he could deliver his address, but the students cut him off "every third word." He penned the introduction, "The Federalist Society (You suck!) is pleased to welcome Judge Kyle Duncan (You’re not welcome here, we hate you!). He was appointed by President Trump to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (Embarrassing!)" And so on." He made an effort to continue, but eventually stopped and asked the students to cease using derogatory language. But as they continued, he finally requested the intervention of an administrator.

'Something felt off'

                                    

Tirien Steinbach delivered a six-minute speech addressing the question: 'Is the juice worth the squeeze?'"

 

Duncan said that when the Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Tirien Steinbach, intervened, she "insisted she wanted to talk to all of us" rather than calming the students down. "Something felt off," he claimed. "Students began screaming, and I reluctantly gave way. Whereupon Ms. Steinbach opened a folio, took out a printed sheaf of papers, and delivered a six-minute speech addressing the question: 'Is the juice worth the squeeze?'" as cited by Daily Mail.

'Can I say something to him'

The argument between the associate dean and the judge is captured on video. "Can I say something to him, is that okay?" Steinbach asked the students before turning to Duncan. The judge emphasized that they were "heckling" him and requested an administrator, prompting the students to scream that she was. The Dean's head can be seen forcefully nodding yes, but the students' yelling drowned out what she was saying. "I would like to help," she said to Duncan. "How so?" he responded. As students yelled that his "racism was showing" and that he should "respect black women," the judge eventually caved, saying, "I guess I have to let her."

'I'm so uncomfortable up here'

She then ascended the podium and stated, "I had to write something down because I'm so uncomfortable up here," before beginning her six-minute speech. Duncan claimed that she described his work as "abhorrent" and claimed that it had "caused harm" because it "literally denies the humanity of people," in her speech. She further asserted that because it was her responsibility to "create a space of belonging for all people," his presence on campus put her in a difficult position. "She assured me I was 'absolutely welcome in this space' because 'me and many people in this administration do absolutely believe in free speech,'" he claimed she said to him. "I didn’t feel welcome - who would?"

'hurl abuse, including vile sexual innuendo'

A student asked the others to quiet down so they could pose questions after giving him the floor back. Duncan continued speaking as planned, but students started to "hurl abuse, including vile sexual innuendo." Duncan was then led off campus by two US Marshals. Days later, the dean of the law school, Jenny Martinez, and the president of Stanford, Marc Tessier-Lavinge, "formally apologized" admitting that protesters and administrators had violated Stanford policy. "I’m grateful and I accepted. The matter hasn’t dropped, though," he penned. Duncan claimed that the students are still protesting by donning masks and forming a human corridor, all in response to Martinez's "apology." 

'Sometimes anger is the proper response to vicious behavior'

In his op-ed, Duncan argues that "sometimes anger is the proper response to vicious behavior," despite receiving criticism in the media for calling the protestors "appalling idiots" and "bullies." He also criticized the prestigious law school for failing to impart on incoming students the "basic concepts of legal discourse: That one must meet reason with reason, not power. That the law protects the speaker from the mob, not the mob from the speaker."
