Mutton Dressed As Lamb

As social media has evolved, I have noticed a trend of people jeopardizing their livelihoods for offensive posts on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media forums. A number of years ago, Timothy Dluhos, a Lieutenant on the New York City EMS making 90K per year was forced to resign from his post and forfeit his pension over numerous r****t posts made on Twitter and other sites. Since then, he has been working for various private ambulance services for a much lower salary. Then there is the case of Dr. Lara Kollab, a Palestinian American medical school graduate who was fired from her residency program over virulently antisemitic posts dating from her teens to her graduation. In some of the posts, she stated that she would deliberately give Jewish patients the wrong medicine. Most recently, there is the case of Kyle Kashov, a survivor of the Parkland shooting whose offer of admission to Harvard was rescinded because of his use of the word "n****r" on various social media, at the age of 15 or 16. In the first two cases, the outcome was understandable. While Mr. Dluhos was never found to have neglected his responsibilities, the City of New York, felt that he was too much of a liability, and a lawsuit waiting to happen. Ditto for Dr. Kollab. Of the three cases, she probably lost out the most. She is about as likely to get hired in another residency program, as a convicted child molester would in a day care center. Mr. Kashov probably got off the lightest. Though he lost the opportunity to attend Harvard, with his 1550 out of 1600 SAT scores and 3.9 out of 4 GPA, there are numerous schools a notch or two below Harvard on the academic food chain who would overlooks his immature comments and offer him a spot. The moral of the story is freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences.

First Silence

Well stated. Kashov should be an example to every teenager out there--you are responsible for the words that come out of your mouth. If you don't want the consequences then keep your mouth shut.

Well, if the same standards had been applied it would be the N**i's who would have been held accountable for the words that came out of there mouths. Think of all the wrongs righted if accountability for your rhetoric applied.

"Freedom Of Speech, Doesn't Mean Freedom From Consequences"
Well, That's One Phrase The Left Was Able To Coin For It's Self
And It's The Left That Always Want's To Define What Is Acceptable And Not
Of Course, What Is Being Said Isn't The Point In Itself
It's Creating The POWER To Control What Others Can Say
See How That Works ??

The Left Can't Avoid It's Authoritarian Nature
And Eventually, It's Off To The Camps

A private institution, Harvard has every right to accept or reject anyone on any basis it chooses b ut it could look at Kashov as a person in need of liberal training.


That cop, I'm not so sure.


That doctor ???????????????????
