In late September, Judge James Ho of the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, fired an unexpected (and arguably overdue) shot at campus cancel culture.
During an address to a conservative legal group, he announced that he will no longer be selecting law clerks from Yale Law School, and he encouraged other judges to do the same.
Ho called Yale the “one particular law school where cancellations and disruptions seem to occur with special frequency,” and warned that this penchant for silencing ideological foes is extending beyond the campus and into firms and other corporate institutions.
