A top law firm rescinded its employment offer after a New York University student wrote that Israel 'bears full responsibility' for the Hamas attacks.
A New York University law student has had a job offer rescinded by a top law firm and was voted out as president of the school's Student Bar Association after stating that Israel is to blame for the Hamas attacks that have killed more than 1,000 Israelis.'Israel bears full responsibility for this tremendous loss of life,' wrote Ryna Workman in the Student Bar Association newsletter.
College students are known for pushing the boundaries of acceptable behavior and engaging in speech that may be considered offensive. Yet in the age of social media, such remarks can have long-lasting consequences even if they are protected by the First Amendment. One X user, who claimed to be a Harvard student, responded to Ackman's by saying that many of the Harvard students weren't aware that their organizations had expressed support for the anti-Israel statement.
