DAVID LAT: Free Speech at Yale Law School. “You don’t need to be conservative to be troubled by goings-on at YLS. After my open letter to Dean Heather Gerken about the latest free-speech controversy at Yale Law School (“YLS”), a highly disruptive protest by progressive students of a Yale Federalist Society event on March 10, I received supportive (private) feedback from YLS faculty and alumni. But one of my sources at 127 Wall Street expressed pessimism about the situation improving, claiming that the administration is far more strongly aligned with the protesters—and far more indifferent to free speech—than I realize.”

Yes, most “student protests” in support of lefty causes are as authentic as the “students” who seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran. The protesters are actually tools of the people who run things, tools whose role is to give those peole an excuse to do what they want anyway, while intimidating any opposition.
