Doublethink of the Day
27th June 2023
Tirien Steinbach is an attorney who has served as associate dean for diversity, equity and inclusion at Stanford Law School. You may recall the role she played in the shoutdown of Fifth Circuit Judge Kyle Duncan at the law school. She took the lectern at the event to lecture Judge Duncan in support of the shoutdown. Steve Hayward and I covered the story in a series of posts that are accessible here. At least word this past March, Dean Jenny Martinez announced that Steinbach was “on leave.”
Steinbach now writes in a column posted at The Hill in defense of the continued use of racial preferences in higher education. Her column is headlined “Diversity, equity and inclusion: The new American battlefield.” Her introductory paragraph heads off in the direction of War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
