Yale grads aren’t going to have any problems getting jobs.

The real issue is the hypocrisy of these judges to claim they are championing free speech by blacklisting a group of students who have no control over their school’s policies.

The only correct answer. Spot on.

This organization is entitled to their opinion. Just know where they get a lot of their money.

FIRE has received major funding from groups which primarily support conservative and libertarian causes, including the Bradley Foundation, Sarah Scaife Foundation, and the Charles Koch Institute.[2][11][12][13] FIRE has been described as a competitor of the larger ACLU.[10][1][4] In 2021, FIRE had an annual revenue of $16.1 million.[14]

I give to them also. They are non-partisan and defend both liberal and conservatives, as long as it's about free speech or due process.

They are not nonpartisan. They are conservative/libertarian in bias. Even their statement to defend individuals from "partisan universities " is partisan as they are clearly not defending students speaking out against conservative partisan censorship at Liberty and the like. They spend tgeir time defending a student who was censored for distributing fliers about how girls should lose the freshmen 15.

No they aren’t. Free speech and academic freedom are content-neutral and non-partisan by definition, and FIRE’s docket has cases of all different types.

PP literally does not understand that the legal principle that defends a student’s right to distribute a flier about the Freshman 15 is exactly the same as defending the right to distribute fliers about BLM and abortion rights.

Sounds stupid to generalize to a body of students the actions of a few.

Honestly, this looks like a set up. When have they taken on a conservative institution? I went to a Christian college that had restrictive policies and nowhere near as bad as the likes of Liberty. I had a friend kicked out of Liberty for insulting Falwell on his radio show. I guess they were too busy defending the freshman 15 guy. Integrity.

Also, it seems that the same person is posting repeatedly to try to dominate this conversation. Why the need? You've had your say. Multiple times.

Nothing similar. The former is about shaming other people.
The latter are about rights advocacy.

A federal appeals court judge on Friday said she was joining a boycott of hiring law clerks from Yale Law School proposed by a fellow appointee of former Republican President Donald Trump who said the school was plagued by "cancel culture."

U.S. Circuit Judge Elizabeth Branch of the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed her participation in the boycott proposed last week by U.S. Circuit Judge James Ho in a statement to National Review, a conservative publication.

Ho, a judge on the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a speech delivered at a Federalist Society conference in Kentucky on Sept. 29 said he would cease hiring clerks from Yale and urged other judges to do the same.

He cited incidents in which students had disrupted conservative speakers at New Haven, Connecticut-based Yale, where "cancellations and disruptions seem to occur with special frequency."

Branch told the National Review that Ho raised "legitimate concerns about the lack of free speech on law school campuses, Yale in particular," and that she would not consider students from Yale for clerkships in the future. She exempted, though, current and past students.

https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/2nd-trump-appointed-judge-publicly-says-she-will-not-hire-yale-clerks-2022-10-07/

This is why all Federalist Society judges and members need to be barred.
