> In other words: DEI is just performative at Stanford. They say the care just to get people off their backs. > Stanford is happy to lend their voice to racists, classists, anything, in the name of free speech. It doesn't matter that the policies of the people speaking have literally ruined lives, lead to suicides, and are now literally murdering mothers by denying them critical healthcare. > We had all better damned be silent and respectful so that the powerful largely white largely male sexists and racists get their platform. > Quite disgusting. I genuinely can't tell if this is satire. "racist", "classist", "sexist", "white male", "literally murdering" all in one short post. The apoplectic hurling of slurs at the concept that someone might disagree with your views, and dare support the right for others to do so, is unhealthy. We can not have a society if this is how people react to disagreement.

> We can not have a society if this is how people react to disagreement. Plain disagreement ends when people start to die. Mothers in states that have banned abortion are now dying because they can't get care. People who are trans are dying at alarming rates because they can't get care. Guns are the leading cause of children.

  > Plain disagreement ends when people start to die. Yes, if you inject enough hyperbole you can justify any sort of behavior. Luckily no one is actually "literally murdering" anyone, and these arguments are nothing but emotive nonsense. > Guns are the leading cause of children. That's quite a narrative.

Guns are the leading cause of children. Please feel free scream at whomever you wish outside of a classroom or courtroom. FWIW judges and lawyers are required by their professional to engage in reasoned debate, and to explain their reasoning to the court/s and each other. It was disappointing enough this incident happened in an academic environment. But attorneys represent their profession, as well as their clients and themselves. They have codes which govern their professional responsibility, and these actions speak to the character and fitness of these future applicants to the bar. This was plainly unacceptable. I'm frankly surprised the college didn't go further in sanctioning the students.

  >Plain disagreement ends when people start to die. So what do you propose? Dropping all restrictions when combatting opposing views? To where is the bar lowered and what is acceptable? Should it be acceptable that humans advocating for abortion rights in opposing states are shouted down? Worse?

  And think of how many trans folks are aborted every year because their mothers can't get guns!
