She has argued religious liberty cases in front of the Supreme Court and argued that her presence was necessary. &#8220;slap in the face&#8221; To &#8220;queer students.&#8221; Yale&#8217;s response to this incident left it with eggs on its face. Although the protest clearly violated Yale\u2019s freedom speech policies which prohibit protesters from disrupting speakers, no student was disciplined.<\/p>\n<p>Waggoner will be returning to Yale Law this time for a second talk. Administrators are not leaving anything to chance this time. They have banned the press and any person without a Yale Law School ID from the event, even undergraduate students. They also want to ban covert cell phone recordings that were able to pick up audio from last year&#8217;s disruption. It is unclear whether media ban includes the <em>Yale Daily News<\/em>Yale&#8217;s flagship student newspaper, whose editor, Lucy Hodgman didn&#8217;t respond to a request.<\/p>\n<p>The Federalist Society will host the event at noon on Tuesday. It will also feature Nadine Strassen, the first female president for the American Civil Liberties Union. Yale&#8217;s draconian measures don&#8217;t sit well with her. She is calling Yale&#8217;s decision not to ban the press &#8220;unacceptable.&#8221; &#8220;unjustifiable,&#8221; The telling <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em>, &#8220;For an event that is discussing important First Amendment issues\u2014and is designed to illustrate Yale Law School&#8217;s announced recommitment to free speech\u2014it is sadly ironic that elementary freedom of speech principles are being violated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Waggoner and Strossen are set to discuss a pending Supreme Court case about the First Amendment\u2014Waggoner argued the case last month\u2014on which the two politically opposed women largely agree.
