Stupid stupid students. Sending letters showing support for Hamas is killing of Israelis or blaming the Israelis….will get you blacklisted from many companies. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/harvard-students-will-be-blacklisted-by-wall-street-ceo-warns/ss-AA1i294V https://www.reuters.com/legal/legalindustry/anti-israel-comments-prompt-winston-strawn-rescind-nyu-law-students-job-offer-2023-10-10/ |

Those kids are trying to walk it all back now. All over Twitter/X.
Idiots. |

I’m surprised we haven’t seen more of this.
Only surprised that some of these are law school students. You would think that they are about to get very lucrative jobs and being paid a lot of money and they would’ve thought to read what they were signing. . |
| We have lost our sacred First Amendment right - freedom of expression. |
+1 Freedom of speech is an awesome thing. just remember that all it means is that you are free to say whatever you want, but you are not free from the consequences for your speech/actions. By now anyone smart enough to get into Harvard should know there will be consequences for their actions. |
Some law students can think for themselves, and we love that trait on this DCUM: critical thinking. |
| Nope. We haven't lost it at all. Students can say whatever stupid stuff they want, but there may be consequences. |
How so? Expression sometimes has consequences. No government is imprisoning them. |
No one is stopping them from posting their opinion. However, other people have the right to express their opinion of your opinion. IMO, these people are stupid to publicly express these types of opinions. They seem to not be able to read the room. |

"Workman, who uses the pronouns they/them online"
but of course |
You are free to say whatever you want, just not whatever job you want. |
| These are all private companies. The crazy NYU wants to rent, lost her offer from a private institution because her stated values do not match the companies nor their clients. |

the First amendment isn't about being able to be hired after you do bad things. You can say it be free - not free from consequences though. |
Bingo. Wow these kids really are morons. They should lose all of their jobs. I hope they all have immense amount of debt and will be stuck in a low paying job. Branded with a scarlet letter. |
