The disruption in Erwin Chemerinsky's and Catherine Fisk's home was antisemitic, says one reader. Another says Fisk went too far in confronting a student.

To the editor: UC Berkeley School of Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky invited his third-year students to dinner at his home, a gesture of kindness and caring that isn't typical in graduate schools. The dean, known for his advocacy of free speech, was then 'thanked' by a small contingent of pro-Palestinian law students, disrupting the party with their smuggled-in microphone and speaker.

There is never a reason for any teacher to put their hands on a student who is simply exercising their right to speak. In my opinion, as a 'consumer' of Berkeley Law's very expensive services, Fisk showed deplorably poor judgment, causing me to question the value of my investment in this university.
