Stanford Law School’s website touts its “collegial culture” in which “collaboration and the open exchange of ideas are essential to life and learning.” Then there’s the culture I experienced when I visited Stanford last week. I’ve spoken at law schools across the country, and I was glad to accept this invitation. One of my first clerks graduated from Stanford. I gave a talk there a few years ago and found it a warm and engaging place, but not this time. As I entered the classroom, one protester screamed: “We hope your daughters get raped!”
