A Law Student Isn’t Allowed to Graduate Because He Made Fun of the Federalist Society
Stanford Law School put a hold on Nicholas Wallace’s diploma because a Federalist Society member got mad at him.
Hasnain says:
The follow up responses sent on the listserv are hilarious.
“Wallace’s email was designed to mock the Stanford Federalist Society for refusing to disavow the many Federalist Society luminaries who fomented the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, including Hawley and Paxton. It worked: The flyer went viral, prompting USA Today to confirm that it was, indeed, satire. But the Stanford Federalist Society was not amused. In March, one of the group’s top officers filed a complaint against Wallace with Stanford’s Office of Community Standards. (This person’s name has been redacted from all documents.) The student alleged that Wallace’s satire “defamed” the Stanford Federalist Society, causing “harm” to the student group and to the “individual reputations” of the officers.”
