@sschweb1 If you sign your name to a public letter that you send to a University and post on Social Media - that is on them.
These are adults that made a decision. They have to accept the consequences, if any, for the rest of their professional lives. This isn’t a free ride to be a bigot.
@girby@howardknopf@AndrewBernstei9@mgeist@acoyne I believe people can be rehabilitated, that I agree with. This isn’t something that was done at a previous point in their life. Being racist and hateful as a law student, many 3L - rehabilitation takes years, not months.
@howardknopf@AndrewBernstei9@mgeist@acoyne To pass the bar in Ontario an applicant must pass the Good Character Requirement.
These students clearly do not meet a minimum requirement of “conduct themselves with honesty, integrity and candour”.
As adults, they do not meet the standards to be admitted to the bar.
@LincAlexLawTMU What are the repercussions of said policy, now knowing you condemn this statement which the students have made their names public for all to see? Asking for a friend.
@KrisnaS85@SarahJama_ This tweet is not only racist and disparaging - it is not true. Being a lawyer for 3 months now - you represent your law firm, @chrisrudnicki_
Not a good look.
@sschweb1 Your rationale is because there is “silence of people with far more power” than these ‘law’ students, they should be able to hide their identities?
They signed their names publicly. It’s on record.
