the school apologized for the heckling, but didn't discipline steinbeck at all.t go far enough, standing up for free speech. they're demanding steinbeck lose her job. several students wrote a piece in the student review. fire steinbeck, the biggest perpetrator of the incident wasn't the group of students but the stanford administrator that encouraged them to go against the free speech policy. if these law students are to be trained for bench anbd bar, it certainly should be with deep respect for the bedrock principle of free speech. gerri. >> this is hysterical. these are future attorneys. this is the work force of tomorrow. and they're scaredy cats. really, is this where we're going? i think it is astonishing. i just can't imagine, you know, stanford has a lot of problems. lot of people have come out of stanford the last few years that created big issues for this country, and it is no surprise this is happening there. >> i'm going to read what judge duncan wrote. it poses an interesting question. here's the quote. the elites set the tone of our society, like it

when they say they are taking steps, dean steinbeck deserves to be fired and stanford needs to make ammitment to upholding freedom of speech. >> sandra: patrick, welcome to you, by the way. what is your reaction to that and why has there not been disciplinary action. you believe there should? >> there was an apology, but the reality, the whole point of higher education is to think critically, opposing sides, not to indoctrinate one side or the other side. and it's frustrating, the students were there because they are upset, and the federal judge, aappellant already, did not want to use pronouns for the transgender community and let's be honest. the transgender community in america, 50% of young transgender americans consider taking their own life, to commit suicide, and so here on st. patrick's day, i think about, you know, my forefathers who came to america, no irish need apply and discrimination that my forefathers shared and we overcame it and you look at now you overcome it by talking the other side, by -- doing it in a respectful way to show grace. >> sandra: so they were more ha

has stanford taken a single action, even disciplined dean steinbeck, let alone fired her, they have note that. and so when they say they are taking steps i'll believe it when i see it. >> you mentioned dean stein back, the associate dean at the law school, she was present when the judge was speaking and he stepped back and said hey, you invited meer hoo -- me here, an associate dean got up, took to the podium and said this, it's -- and said it to the judge, uncomfortable to say for many people here your work has caused harm. again, i still ask is the juice worth the squeeze, the pain, the division this causes. do you have something, so incredibly important to say about twitter and guns and covid it is worth this impact on the division of these people? what do you think of that? because she's getting up there and deriding the judge because of his legal opinions. this is a law school. you are supposed to think about two sides to an argument. >> well, clearly stanford law students don't want to do that and it's truly remarkable because if the students really didn't like judge duncan, all t

what we saw from dean steinbeck is that she wasn't able to do that.ed to commit to free speech but switched and said i'm glad this is going on here. it's unacceptable at an administrator at a law school and stanford law. we believe that dean steinbeck needs to re-affirm these principles of free speech and throw through her actions that she's committed to that or the universities take step to assure that no administrator that is willing to uphold thinks principles of free speech does not have a place here at stanford. >> martha: she berated him. she said he's abhorrent, harmful and his rulings deny humanity. she said he made her feel uncomfortable and unsafe and that it's her job to make sure that people feel safe. here's a little bit of his response. >> i'm being heckled to speak here after being invited here. i'm asking for the administrator -- >> you're a racism show. >> martha: i was watching mike davis earlier. a lot of federal judges watch this and very concerned about the education that you all are getting at stanford law. it would probably caus

big shot up to john steinbeck, lyndon johnson and charlie the poodle. you were my inspiration. peter: we also ask authors what their favorite books are. according to jeff guinn, travels with charlie by john steinbeck is one of his favorites, ong with catherine drinker bowen, yankee from olympus. could you speak to those two books? jeff: the yankee from olympus is the life study of wendell holmes. i did not want to read the book when i was in high school, but the high school i attended was all over us wendell holmes has spoken i was mesmerized. it was from catherine drinker bowen that i realized rating history did not have to be boring. it was not just facts and names. she created context, starting starting with his grandfather, a minister and his father, a famous poet. and how everything he learned to fit into his time and place and how the decisions he helped render on the supreme court that changed america forever were not just based on law but on personal experience. if you could write a book like that, and not make it dry, i thought it must be possible to write history that

steinbeck is bringing in a six-figure salary. the maximum salary for he position is 201,200. that's more than most post doctorial candidates make. >> how is this her job? >> my job is making space for people longing in this institution. this is part of the creation of belonging. many people in this administration, too, absolutely do believe in free speech. >> laura: that's a lie. it doesn't add value. everything she said was false. the judge could not give his speech. stanford is ranked as the third best university in the united states. its tuition just wentz up by 7%. to 82,406 a year. now, they've been exposed but their story is repeated across america in most academic and professional settings today. diversity, inc., is a network of mostly untalented people that figured out a way to make big bucks from a weak-kneed business community and the school administrators. all told, they spend billions annually to measure and grow their diversity, equity and inclusion compliance and train their employees in so-called dei speak. workshops include ridiculous cartoonish presentations

they've still failed to do is actually take action and hold accountable administrators, dean and steinbeckshout down a sitting judge at a law school event. stuart: is that what you want to see, accountability for what they're doing? those yale law school students who shouted down a free speech meeting, accountability for the dean of diversity who interrupted a federal judge, that's the kind of accountability you want, right? >> right, because accountability leads to actually deterrence. you're e trying to deferer the future -- deter future behavior and promising to do better next time, that's never worked in the past, and it's the not going to now. stuart: listen to this one, or sharis dc -- michigan sate university has a language guide that tells them to avoid offensive phrases like christmas trees, overweight and even america. today want to include it with language that is, as they say, more inclusive. it's getting to the point that this is being met with ridicule and being dismissed. and that's the best thing to do, right? >> absolutely. and i hope that most students don't take this ser

dean steinbeck has been placed on leave, hardly severe for what she's done to the school after beautician, students who disrupted the judge's speech have not been punished but all students have to attend a session to discuss freedom of speech and the norms of the legal profession. i would love to be a fly on that wall. i would like to think wokeism is on the decline but when the students leave college they will be affecting law firms and courtrooms for years to come. second hour varney is just warming up. stuart: jason chaffetz, the matter my immediate left, not politically. what do you think? has it piqued? >> we have a generational problem, we have awoke problem that has been embedded to a whole generation, this is how they've grown up. they haven't been held accountable or learned the value of work and the value of the dollar. we have the immediacy of their cell phones and everything else but i don't think it is piqued. this is standard, this person should have been fired, though students should have been disciplined if not expelled, that is not the way you act. we have a real problem.

dean steinbeck who had shut down on led the charge to shut down judge duncan at stanford, she was makingian: can you believe this? >> reports on twitter right now. really quite concerning. >> brian: that woman was suspended or fired. she said the juice wasn't worth the squeeze to hear from a federal judge. unbelievable. those listening on radio. harvard 12,400 university of pennsylvania over 9,000. cornell 3. stanford university so 1500. you get more money in there people get paid and we get diversity training. walker, could you go could you go speak to the dean and say this should not be part of the curriculum? would that get anywhere. >> certainly wouldn't get anywhere there have been oefforts but quite frankly we cut out play-doh and real education, real valuable authors and works from our education in the last 30 or 40 years and replaced them with basically just waste of space courses this dei movement is yet another part of that. >> brian: peter, when i watch that visiting judge being shouted down, i was stunned. for you, knowing what is going on on campus, were you stunned? >> i me
