The Chemerinsky Incident: A Follow-up

 Hat tip Campus Reform

This past week, we reported on the unfortunate incident that occurred at  UC Berkeley Law School Dean Erwin Chemerinsky's home while he was hosting a dinner for his law students. As a follow-up, I am cross-posting an article by Campus Reform, which contains Chemerinsky's description of the incident. 

I have often been critical of Dean Chemerinsky, and as I have pointed out before, this is the type of law school he has created, just as he founded the UC Irvine Law School, of which I have been critical. but on this matter, I am fully on his side. What happened at his home was outrageous, but it is par for the course in how this pro-Palestinian crowd conducts itself. They are arrogant and insufferable. That this arrogant young woman would hijack an event at someone's home to make her political statement while refusing to leave and then have the nerve to berate Chemerinsky's wife, Catherine Fisk, for putting her hands on a "Muslim woman during Ramadan", is the height of chutzpah. It is typical of how pro-Palesatinain protesters are conducting themselves all over the nation. They have no regard for the rights of others, and they have no respect for our country at large.

As yet, I see no mention of this incident in UCB's campus newspaper, the Daily Californian, but I expect something to appear on Monday or Tuesday.

*Update: Here is what the Daily Californian has to say (April 15, 2024).
