Judge at center of Stanford brouhaha gives speech at Notre Dame

U.S. District Judge Kyle Duncan gave a lecture on the topic of free speech and the First Amendment at Notre Dame after being shouted down at Stanford.

During his Notre Dame speech, Duncan said that there’s a “vital tradition of free speech in this country” and that students have the right to protest him.

“It’s a great country, where you can harshly criticize federal judges and nothing bad will happen to you. You might even get praised or promoted,” he continued. “But make no mistake. What went on in that classroom on March the 9th had nothing to do with our proud American tradition of free speech. It was rather a parody of it.”
