THIS IS WHAT WE LIKE TO SEE:  Kids from our side fighting back, on an "elite" college campus.  Cheer them!  Send packets of Milky Ways!  From RedState:

Stanford Law School students savagely criticized the school and one of its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion deans in a piece in the school’s publication, “Stanford Review,” with this simple but powerful headline atop its front page: “Fire Tirien Steinbach.”

As RedState’s Jim Thompson reported, Steinbach, Stanford Law’s Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, joined students in heckling and screaming at 5th Circuit Court of Appeals judge Kyle Duncan, who was attempting to deliver a speech. When the judge asked for an administrator to intervene, Steinbach instead piled on and launched into a 6-minute tirade claiming Duncan was “literally denying the humanity of people.”

His crime? He refused to retroactively change court records to reflect that child porn enthusiast and repeated sex offender Norman Varner decided after his trial to identify as female and demanded to be referred to as “Kathy Jett.” Duncan refused.

Although the university belatedly delivered a written apology to the jurist, many felt that it was a weak one at best, and there seem to have been very few consequences for Steinbach for her outrageous behavior. As SisterToldjah reported, the university then compounded its mistakes by issuing a letter to students who were upset about the interruptions to seek mental health help…from Tirien Steinbach.

The Stanford Review bills itself as a student-run independent newspaper. The outlet’s article, credited to “multiple authors,” described their disgust with how the situation went down at a school that touts its commitment to free speech:

Perhaps the only thing uglier than the Stanford Law School building is the events that took place there on Thursday. The Stanford Federalist Society’s event with Kyle Duncan, a judge on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, was disrupted by a mob of unruly law students and a Stanford DEI Dean who prevented the judge from speaking entirely.

They point out that she was just as much to blame for the circus as the rowdy students.

COMMENT:  Read the whole thing.  The good guys at Stanford Law are leading the way.  If we start having regular counter-revolutions like this, I have no doubt that our side will emerge from the culture wars victorious.  But each victory must be won by itself, and there will be setbacks along the way.  And the way will take years

The election of a Republican president would be more than helpful.  We need a major cleanup in the U.S. government.  We need new people at the Department of Education, or maybe the abolition of that department.  I sense from the trends that I see each week that things are moving in our direction.  Ron DeSantis, after all, has become a major figure by taking on the wokesters. 

In the 1960s we saw that, underneath the leftist shouting and the takeover of college campuses there was a true silent majority of solid citizens who refused to go along.  That silent majority is still there, and many of its members are silent no more.
