Here is video of Nanci Howe, Stanford University’s Associate Dean and Director, Student Activities and Leadership, happily circulating among the Stanford students walking out of my event there last Tuesday, patting them on the back and chatting with them.
Below is full video of the walkout. Howe appears at 2:44. After encouraging the walkout, she refused to allow in students who actually wanted to attend. She appears again at the end of this video, grimacing as I criticize Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne and Provost Persis Drell for failing to teach or defend the freedom of speech, and for acting to crush dissenting opinions.
With Howe stage-managing the disruption of the event this obviously, it’s clear now why she refused to allow streaming.
Howe and Snehal Naik, Assistant Dean and Associate Director of Student Affairs, ensured that as few Stanford students as possible would hear me. They did this first by making sure that the hall was packed with students who had no intention of attending the lecture, but were there only to sabotage it by denying seats to people who actually wanted to attend. They even kept out some members of the College Republicans, the group that was sponsoring the event.
Then, after the walkout, they refused to allow in people who actually wanted to attend, refusing repeated requests to do so.
They also refused to allow the Young America’s Foundation to stream the event, clearly because they knew what was in the offing and did not want video going out live that would show just how much Stanford has deteriorated and how opposed it is to free discourse.
As you watch Howe enjoying her big moment, reflect on how Stanford, and other American universities today, are no longer centers of higher learning, but factories of hard-Left indoctrination. Howe should be fired immediately, of course, and Stanford should demonstrate that it believes in the freedom of speech with more than just lip service. But instead, Howe will probably get promoted, with a big raise.
mortimer says
Nanci Howe and Snehal Naik should be billed for all the expenses of the Young America’s Foundation.
They should immediately retain legal counsel and have these culprits held responsible for the intentional sabotage of their free speech event.
mortimer says
The College Republicans should also bill them for their expenses.
t. says
Seriously, look at her face, it emanates ignorance, stupidity and arrogance!
The worst part is that there are many, many like her, all over the west, in positions of power, leadership and/or influence.

It’s face is as long as it is wide with small forehead indicating small cranium; similar to it’s body which is almost as wide as it is tall.

John Forbes says
THERE MUST BE SOME WAY TO GET AT THIS SO CALLED DEAN FOR SHUTTING DOWN AN APPROVED SPEECH IN THIS FASHION & THEN BEING PLEASED ABOUT THIS!
WHAT SORT OF A DEAN IS THIS ??? A COMMUNIST ONE ???
mortimer says
STANFORD ENFORCES CONFORMITY OF INFORMATION through GLEICHSCHALTUNG.
Gleichschaltung (German, from gleich ‘same’ + schalten ‘force or bring into line’) = forcing into line, enforcement of conformity.
The Nazis also sought to CONTROL THE INFORMATION that Germans RECEIVED. The Propaganda Ministry set up in 1933 allowed Joseph Goebbels that chance to control different forms of media including film and radio. The Nazis gradually influenced and controlled newspapers too.
Historians’ views • Claudia Koonz: “Gleichschaltung occurred so stealthily that most Germans hardly noticed.” • Dean Stroud: Gleichschaltung was to be achieved in two ways. Germans would be encouraged to support the regime. However if they did not do so then stronger methods, including changing laws, would be used instead. • Tobias Schepanek: Nazis were placed in vital positions in key organisations but other workers were intimidated to ensure they backed the Nazi regime.
The parallels between Nazi Gleichschaltung and Stanford Gleichschaltung are undeniable: 1) mob opposition to non-fascist teachers 2) control of news 3) suppression of all non-fascist voices
Jan Sobieski says
I suspect Nancy and Snehal are having restless nights. What have I done? I screwed up! Naaah, righteous social justice warriors never have regrets.
Voytek Gagalka says
“She appears again at the end of this video…”
I am certain that at this moment she arrives to spy and check which students dared to remain in audience in spite of her order to clear out. Wait to see those defiant students to be punished with their grades and careers later on!
Keys says
Yes, at 4:37, Howe appears stealthily in the wings putting a small digital recorder (or a C-4 bomb) on the ledge as Robert responds to a question about why he thinks some Stanford resignations are in order.
Maybe the questioner was a “plant” with the purpose of hoping to record Robert saying something against the administrators that they could use against him. Weasel works.
Robert is a man of integrity who courageuosly tells the truth.
Benedict says
With all respect I think this is a mistake. The woman in this video is the grandmother of Smugglypuff.
Keys says
?
Jaladhi says
Disgusting! She gives a bad name to “Deans” of the universities but then almost all of the deans may be like her!
Jaladhi says
Did you notice the Arabic music being played in the hall while students were walking out or was it added afterwords?
Shmoovie says
From different videos seen, the music sounds to be playing during the walkout.
In one of the first post-event articles, I read that loud music (non- Arabic) started up from somewhere outside while RS spoke, then quickly stopped. Later came that silly example of multi-culti awareness. (Must be from a “Best World Music” playlist, mixed specially for signalling.)
gravenimage says
Yes, I noticed the Arabic music, as well.
This idiot may not realize it, but sounds like the call to prayer and shrieking Nsheeds may be all that is in our future if more people don’t heed what Robert Spencer has to say.
Robert_k says
The music in the background sounds like Umm Kalthoum, the most famous Egyptian Arab women singer, during the time of Gamal Abdul Nasser. Ironically, under strict Sharia such singing by a woman would be Haraam (forbidden).
Richard says
Time to change Islamophile Nanci Howe’s title to “Associate Deen”.
Jaladhi says
I will promote her to full Deen – she did such an outstanding job for Mo/allah!
gravenimage says
Hilarious, Richard and Jaladhi!
overman says
lt’s not surprising if you look at her facebook page. She loves Paris – wonder if she’s been there lately – doubt it.
She supports Obama and Clinton [of course]. Her fav TV show is Rachel Maddow – enough said.
One of her fav ppl seems to be a muslim entertainer called Aziz Ansari. He did a show at Stanford and she has a pic of him on FB: ‘Fun evening with Aziz Ansari at Stanford’.
This guy made the following statement:
“Donald Trump wants to ban Muslim immigrants like my parents, so I wrote a piece for the @NYTimes telling him to go fcuk himself”
So, basically all the connections are there for the creation of a braindead lslamophile.
gravenimage says
Aziz Ansari is a supposed Muslim “comic”. Really, just a load of unfunny Da’wa and fake victim mongering.
Renee says
Wow, who want to go to Stanford now?
mortimer says
Stanford is telling conservative students that their rights will not be respected if they do not conform IDEOLOGICALLY.
Stanford discriminates against CONSERVATIVE students.
JOSEPH says
Mortimer, not only conservatives but Christians as well.
The most heinous offenders are the students who question the viewpoints and attitudes of the professors.
We have to understand that they do NOT want a generation that can or want to think for themselves.
I have told my son many times the most important questions are; why? Why? Why?
He has told me that he has to parrot the teachers B.S. to get a better grade but that in real life he has a different opinion.
No, thank goodness he does not go to Stanford.
The biggest lie is when they advertise it as an institution of free thinking and higher education.
Maybe higher education is right because some of them sound like they ate too many mushrooms and are out of touch with reality.
Renee says
Wow, who would want to go to Stanford now?
Keys says
And can any one of those students who left early, or the Stanford administration, give just one example of hate speech from Robert Spencer that evening ?
No, because if they could it would already have been made public.
mortimer says
You cannot find any personal hatred in any statement by Robert Spencer, since he is an exemplar of Christian charity. However, Robert Spencer makes firm and fair criticisms of those who use deceit, trickery or slander. Robert Spencer will challenge those who wrongfully accuse him with FACTS and VALID, CONSISTENT REASONING.
His critiques are so perfectly crafted that his opponents are almost always left speechless.
RCCA says
Agreed. Bravo, Mr. Spencer! A great, righteous rant. Glad we got the audio.
gravenimage says
Spot on, Mortimer.
PRCS says
They cannot cite the instances of hate, Islamophobia, etc., because that did not happen.They are engaged, instead, in SJW sloganeering.
But, most (every?) Muslim there knows that Islam teaches hatred of, oppression of, and violence toward all non-Muslims. For them to point that out would defeat the orchestrated narrative that Islam’s victims are the oppressors.
Gotta wonder how much “Deen” Howe knows about islam and Muslims.
David says
PRCS, you know I don’t think most muslims really know a lot about their religion. If they did they would probably be disgusted and become apostates.
David says
mortimer, yes left speechless, which is what they try and do to Robert. They know he is right, and their actions prove it. They are afraid to let him speak.
David says
Keys, well spotted.
Charlie Martel says
Well if they can’t even teach the students basic good manners, what hope for more developed character building!
Dum Spiro says
She reminds me of Hillary Clinton. Probably just an odd coincidence of appearance…
— Spero
overman says
Something about her reminds me of Merkel, too.

Video: Stanford dean Nanci Howe congratulates student fascists as they disrupt Robert Spencer event
……………………………
Official Stanford administration policy masquerading as “student activism”. *Ugh*.
“Kabuki theater”, as I have noted.

Nanci Howe? Formerly with the law firm of Dewey, Cheatham and Howe?

Sorry for the double comment–posting problems.
Bridget Ames says
Robert, please redo your speech for the public on youtube, However I think it was David Wood who had this idea, but I think that what you should do when protesters begin to disrupt is have a slide show with sounds of the Images of Islam. The victims of stonings, the victims of FGM, Gays being thrown off, Swedish women being abused, the mass migration of many of them yelling and taking over countries. Their obnoxious behaviors would likely cease when they see the reality of what they are defending.
Lydia says
“Nazification.”
That says it all.
Bezelel says
A copy and paste from the urban dictionary
The term bigot means to be willingly ignorant or intolerant of another person’s beliefs or opinions.
Bigotry is an accusation, which is often used by liberal and marxist types to condemn those people who are not of the same “tolerant” or “open minded” attitude as themselves.
By using this term they create what I call an infinite loop of intolerance.
If someone is accused of bigotry then the accusing party must also be intolerant of the accused persons intolerance; therefore, it is self evident that the term bigot in a sense, can not actually exist in a free society or open debate because of it’s self-destructive, self-imploding and hypocritical nature.
(((We must put an end to bigotry by criminalizing any dissenting point of view.))))
Real life application of this “anti-bigotry” includes hate laws, which are no more than Orwellian type “thought crimes”.
I need to read things like this for affirmation to shield my mind from the leftist agenda psyops.
tgusa says
In the past these institutions were vastly superior when the majority there were guys like Robert Spencer. The peaceful exchange of ideas with intellectual debate, the drive to go above and beyond, to contemplate, everything. Back then they produced a learned environment that pushed the boundaries of current human understanding. So what is the primary driver that has led to this downfall?
David says
Curse be upon Muhammad’s name!
Jak says
More S4B,demonstrating she cares nothing about freedom of thought or speech.
Chris Malan says
She’s as fat as a pig. Robert Spencer should be grateful she didn’t eat him.
FYI says
Nanci had a ball didn’t she?
And they tried to drown you out with that discordant arab “music”.
No one should have to endure such an assault on the ears as arab “music”.
I noticed the cacophonously discordant Arab musak that always sounds like a cross between the dying screech of a strangulated cat and the howling pain of an arab man with severe stomach ache.
They think it’s music.
(But then they think their allah is God,the angel jibreel is “the enemy of the Jews”and muhammed is a prophet.Go figure)
And as we know allah doesn’t like music:maybe that’s why arab music is so dire.
Being forced to listen to arab music should be a criminal offense…maybe allah or satan likes such “music”.
God surely doesn’t.God likes harmony.And He even speaks ALL languages.
…unlike allah who can only communicate in arabic and has promised..
“on the day of resurrection,allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a songstress”
reliance of the traveller umdat al salik r40.1
That’s just for listening to a WOMAN sing.
That explains why muslim music is so crappy:women are not supposed to sing.
I imagine that if allah had an iPod,there would be no female singers on it.
No Maria Callas.And definitely no Barbara Streisand:A JEWISH woman singing a song?C’mon will you?
allah would be furious.
God,on the other hand. would be delighted with the song of a songstress:especially if an Israeli Jewish Woman sings the hatikvah in His favorite city Jerusalem….in Hebrew..
God would love that.
allah wouldn’t.But then he might not understand the Hebrew.
David says
This woman has her head in the sand and up her arse at the same time. Maybe if she had listened to Robert for a few minutes she would learn something important.
I wish this video could get a wider public viewing, to show Americans what is going on in Universities. Same thing in the UK. Robert is banned from entering the country. Can you believe that?
David says
Those morons in the audience all left like a herd of sheep. Pathetic brainwashed zombies. Why did they not stay to hear what Robert had to say? That would have been dangerous!
Frank Verderber says
Continuing to talk while the Fascists-Socialist disrupt is not a good strategy. Next time, pass out special ear plugs to your workers, and have a cd ready to go with high impedance sounds. When the bullies start walking around and shouting and ringing bells and so on, turn on the cd and set the level just below injury, and let the sound drive the fools out of the auditorium. Trust me, they will leave quick. Its called fighting fire with fire.

Rob says
2.44 Howe action and expression (and wearing a student-type backpack)
As blatant a piece of child grooming as you will see anywhere.
