Following the shout down of Judge Kyle Duncan at Stanford Law School, Dean Jenny Martinez apologized to him.
Now the school’s Black Law Students Association is refusing to help the school recruit minority students, claiming that the apology was aligned with white supremacy.
Aaron Sibarium reports at the Washington Free Beacon:
Stanford Law School’s Black Students’ Group Will No Longer Help Law School Recruit Minority Students in the Wake of Duncan ApologyStanford University’s Black Law Students Association will no longer help the university recruit black students after the law school’s dean, Jenny Martinez, apologized in early March to Fifth Circuit appellate judge Kyle Duncan.The students cited what they described as the “scapegoating” of the school’s diversity dean, Tirien Steinbach, for an incident last month in which students disrupted Duncan’s remarks and Steinbach egged them on.”The apology was intimately aligned with White supremacist practices,” the group’s board wrote in a letter to the administration, which was posted on Instagram earlier this month. “We cannot, in good faith, participate in recruiting Black students into a community more concerned with palliating wealthy, White conservative donors than the ‘student-focused and community-inspired’ legal education [Stanford Law School] promotes.”As such, the group said it would “boycott official admit events” for the class of 2026 and encourage prospective students to go elsewhere.
These students know how much the school values diversity, so they think this is going to hurt Stanford. In truth, they’re only doing a disservice to themselves.
Two federal judges have already said that they won’t hire clerks from Stanford Law over this incident.

The performative outrage of progressive students has become so tiresome.
People have had enough.
