Left wing law students at Stanford University protested a judge who was invited to speak by the Federalist Society chapter at Stanford. They protested so loudly that the judge was not allowed to speak. The protesters had members of the Federalist Society Stanford Chapter names publicly identified.
So in retaliation, the members of the Federalist Society published the names of the protesters. Immediately the protesters demanded those public identifications be taken down. As opposed to their publicly identifying the names of the Federalist Society members.

"Last week, students at Stanford Law disrupted a Federalist Society event that featured U.S. Circuit Court Judge Kyle Duncan. Duncan was prevented from speaking by unruly protesters and berated by the school's associate dean of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
The same students who plastered the names and faces of the Stanford Federalist Society all over the school are now demanding anonymity from the Free Beacon. They say we've violated their right to privacy by identifying them. You can't make it up," Aaron Sibarium, a journalist for the Washington Free Beacon, tweeted Friday.
On Sunday, I identified board members of the Stanford National Lawyers Guild--one of the groups responsible for the posters--who in a public statement described the protest as "Stanford Law School at its best." A few hours later, the board demanded I redact their names.
Sibarium said that Lily Bou, a board member of the Stanford National Lawyers Guild, sent an email demanding the Free Beacon remove her name and those of other students from their reporting. "Listing our names serves no purpose other than to invite abuse and harassment," she wrote.
"You do not have our permission to reference or quote any portion of this email in a future piece," she added. Needless to say, that's not how the First Amendment works.
Free speech is under attack on college campuses across America. At UC Davis on Tuesday, conservative commentator Charlie Kirk's speech was disrupted by protesters who smashed windows and clashed with police.
According to one survey, less than half Republican college students feel safe expressing their political views on campus. Many students fear retribution in personal and professional settings for sharing their conservative beliefs.
What's eminently clear from the drama unfolding in Palo Alto is that while Stanford law students may be the vanguard of an anti-constitutional revolution, they don't know much about the law. Where Stanford has failed to educate them in the limits of privacy and the rights of a free press, we will endeavor to fill the void with our continuing coverage of this ugly affair."
