More than 400 Yale students sign letter against alliance defending freedom appearing on campus

More than 400 Yale Law School students — over 60 percent of the school’s student body — signed an open letter against free speech and a police presence on campus after hysterical woke students shouted down a bipartisan panel about civil liberties featuring the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).

(Article by Alana Mastrangelo republished from Breitbart.com)

Last month, nearly 120 woke Yale Law School students disrupted a bipartisan panel by trying to shout down and intimidate the speakers, who later had to be escorted out of the building by police. One of America’s best and brightest future Ivy League graduates screeched at the ADF representative: “I will literally fight you, bitch!”

After that, over 60 percent of Yale Law School’s student body signed an open letter condemning the school for inviting a representative from ADF to campus, and calling on administrators to change Yale Law “policies or practices that invite police officers onto our campus in response to peaceful student protests.”

“We write as a coalition of queer students and allies deeply concerned with the presence of armed police at a peaceful protest of law students on campus,” the students began in their letter.

The letter went on to explain that “an organic student protest emerged” in response to the panel, “and, instead of listening to student concerns, faculty told peaceful student protesters to ‘grow up,’”

“We write today because, in addition to the deeply disrespectful presence of ADF on campus and the faculty moderator’s dismissal of our peaceful action as childish, armed police officers were called into the Sterling Law Building in response to our exercise of peaceful protest,” they continued.

“The safety of a large contingent of YLS students — a group of largely LGBTQ and BIPOC students — was put at risk, possibly by our own administration,” the letter claimed. “We are saddened and appalled that a group of YLS’ most vulnerable students were put in danger.”

“We urge YLS to change any policies or practices that invite police officers onto our campus in response to peaceful student protests,” the students said.

The letter went on to call on the school’s administration to “work to build explicit policy that such a response is unwarranted, regardless of who summons police officers.”

Yale Law School had hosted the bipartisan panel in hopes to show students that a liberal atheist and a conservative Christian can find common ground on free speech issues.

After the panel was disrupted, D.C. circuit Judge Laurence Silberman urged his colleagues to “carefully consider” whether the Yale Law School students who shouted down the bipartisan panel discussion on free speech “should be disqualified from potential clerkships.”

Here are the 416 Yale Law School students who signed the open letter condemning free speech and police presence on campus:
