Yale Law School Has Defended A Group Of Its Students Who Snarled I ll Hurt You Bitch At A Conservative Speaker During A Debate On Freedom Of Speech

Yale Law School has defended a group of its students who snarled 'I'll hurt you bitch' at a conservative speaker during a debate on freedom of speech.
The Ivy League college claims the woke rabble-rousers have been 'spoken to' about their threatening behavior on March 10, raising concerns that they've only been given a slap on the wrist which will embolden them to continue their authoritarian behavior. 
Despite the chaos at the college's Federalist Society-organized event, Yale Law said in a statement issued Thursday that school police 'assistance was not needed' and that students had followed the rules. 
'At the very start of the March 10 event, when students began to make noise, the moderator read the University's free speech policy for the first time,' the school said, referring to its three-warnings protocols for its free-speech policy.
'At that point, the students exited the event, and it went forward.

When students made noise in the hallways, administrators and staff instructed students to stop.'
The school went onto to say that staff called out to Yale police officers 'about whether assistance might be needed in the event the students did not follow those instructions. 
Yale Law School said in a statement that students had followed directions and that there was no need for police presence despite the guest speakers being escorted out. 
'Fortunately, that assistance was not needed and the event went forward until its conclusion,' Yale Law said. 
Officials added that the administration is 'nonetheless in serious conversation with students about our free speech policies, expectations, and norms.' 
They issued the mealy-mouthed statement after nearly 120 Yale Law students were filmed yelling at Kristen Waggoner, a conservative Christian of the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) nonprofit during a debate with a liberal humanist about freedom of speech last Thursday. 
The protesters berated the speaker, chanting 'protect trans kids' and 'shame, shame' throughout the law school building after police officers escorted Waggoner and her debate opponent out of the building.

Yale Law also noted that school officers were on the scene because the school's policy dictates they assist security guards for Waggoner and the other speaker, progressive Monica Miller from the American Humanist Association. 
The presence of those cops further infuriated the woke protest group, who claimed having them on campus 'prevents queer lives from flourishing.'  
Ellen Cosgrove, Associate Dean and Dean of Students at Yale, remained silent during the chaotic incident, sparking allegations of academic cowardice. 
In the statement, Yale Law said the dean is committed to allowing others to speak freely at the university. 
'We allow people to speak even when their speech is flatly inconsistent with our own values.'  
The incident began when students were filmed threatening the guest speakers and staff at a free speech event where a conservative guest successfully defended a Supreme Court decision of a Colorado baker who refused to make a cake for a gay wedding ceremony.  
The purpose of the panel was to illustrate that a liberal atheist and a conservative Christian could find common ground on free speech issues, according to the .
Both the ADF and the American Humanist Association took the same side in a 2021 case involving legal remedies for First Amendment violations that was presented to the , but protesters were outraged by the ADF's successful Supreme Court defense of a Colorado baker who refused to make a gay wedding cake. 
They were also infuriated by the group's support for a measure that anyone who wants to change their gender must have gender reassignment surgery.  
Miller was harangued ahead of the event by totalitarian students claiming her very presence at the event was 'harming the flourishing of queer lives,' with Waggoner and ADF supporters hit with threats at the meeting itself. 
When law school professor Kate Stith introduced Waggoner, the protestors stood up and displayed signs attacking the nonprofit Alliance Defending Freedom, for which Waggoner works. 
Video of the incident, which was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, shows the students screaming profanities at Waggoner.
Waggoner expressed horror immigration Lawyer Istanbul at the students' behavior, alleging 'the future of the legal profession in America is in dire straits.' 
'It was disturbing to witness law students whipped into a mindless frenzy.

I did not feel it was safe to get out of the room without security,' she told the newspaper. 
'Yale Law students are our future attorneys, judges, legislators, and corporate executives. We must change course and restore a culture of free speech and civil discourse at Yale and other law schools, or the future of the legal profession in America is in dire straits.' 
Miller, who during Thursday's panel characterized Waggoner's nonprofit as a 'hate group,' echoed her debate opponent's remarks, claiming the disruption was an 'ominous sign' for the legal profession. 
'As lawyers, we have to put aside our differences and talk to opposing counsel,' she told the Free Beacon. 'If you can't talk to your opponents, you can't be an effective advocate.'  
The students screamed profanities at Waggoner, including one who threatened they would 'literally fight you, b***h'

A member of the Federalist Society, which hosted the panel, said they selected Waggoner and Miller to demonstrate how a conservative Christian and a liberal atheist could were able to find common ground on issues of free speech.
'It was pretty much the most innocuous thing you could talk about,' he alleged.
However, the nearly 120 demonstrators still managed to cause havoc amid the event, violating the university's free speech policies which prohibit any protest that 'interferes with speakers' ability to be heard and of community members to listen.'
When Stith reminded the protesters of the policy, she was met with chants and raised middle fingers, to which she replied: 'Grow up.'
The students hit back, arguing that their disturbance was execution of 'free speech' and continued to scream at the panelists.
Two days after the panel, 417 students reportedly signed an open letter issuing support for 'peaceful student protesters.' The letter also claimed the protesters had been 'imperiled by the presence of police'
The letter also slammed Stith for telling the demonstrators to 'grow up' and blasted the Federalist Society for hosting an event that 'profoundly undermined our community's values of equity and inclusivity'
