Clarence Thomas Says Stanford Law Is Off Limits to Conservatives as School Cites 2023 Speaker Policy

Summary
Clarence Thomas said some colleges are "presumptively off limits" to conservatives and named Stanford Law School as a place he has never visited because, he argued, people like him are unwelcome.
Stanford rejected that claim, saying it would be honored to host the Supreme Court justice and pointing to its Constitutional Law Center's regular judicial events.
Thomas tied the problem to a broader campus ideological divide, saying thinkers such as Thomas Sowell now reach students largely through YouTube because their views are considered unpalatable in higher education.
Stanford's denial comes after 2023 disruptions of Judge Kyle Duncan's campus talk by about 90 law students, an episode that prompted an apology, mandatory training and a clearer anti-disruption policy.
