Bill Ackman Doubles Down on Denying Jobs to Harvard Students Who Signed Anti-Israel Letter
New York Post ^ | Oct. 12, 2023 | Ariel Zilber

Bill Ackman has doubled down on his push to have companies refuse employment opportunities to the Harvard students who signed a letter blaming Israel for Hamas’ violent attack that killed more than 1,200 people over the weekend.

The hedge fund billionaire who founded Pershing Square Capital Management held his ground after a Harvard law student slammed him for “harassment” in response to a social media post on X in which he demanded a list of the signatories of the controversial letter. “If you were managing a business, would you hire someone who blamed the despicable violent acts of a terrorist group on the victims?” Ackman wrote on X early Thursday. “I don’t think so.”

“Would you hire someone who was a member of a school club who issued a statement blaming lynchings by the KKK on their victims?” Ackman wrote. “I don’t think so.”

Or if, say, a hedge fund manager was covering for Epstein, you’d want to know that before you trusted him, right?

I’m retired now, but when I was working, owned and operated a business I did not hire Democrats. I certainly would not hire terrorist supporting Democrats. That’s a practice that many businesses should adopt.

Instead of my normal cynical reaction, I’m going to just be happy he stuck to his original statement. Bravo!

The Left takes a particular delight in “cancelling” people who oppose them. They have no sympathy for the harm “cancelling” does to individuals and families. They are now learning it works both ways. Data bases of those who support Hamas, known Antifa members, professors and university administrators who violate civil rights will do to them what they have so savagely done to others.

Well, there are still Starbucks barista jobs and Uber delivery driver jobs if they hurry and graduate before we have another surge of Bidenskyyyyy’s Venezuelans.

Harvard students who signed anti-Israel letter find out their diploma turned out to be a big sheet of toilet paper.

The price of stupidity is high
