   Federal judges boycott Yale law clerks o

   Some U.S. federal judges are boycotting future Yale Law graduates for   
   clerk positions, citing cancel culture concerns.   
      
   Trump-appointed U.S. Circuit Judge James Ho spearheaded the boycott at   
   a Federalist Society conference last month, claiming the institution   
   "not only tolerates the cancelation of views — it actively practices   
   it," according to Reuters.   
      
   "I don’t want to cancel Yale," Ho told the outlet. "I want Yale to stop   
   canceling people like me."   
      
   Ho invited other judges to join his boycott, and the call led Federal   
   Appeals Court Judge Elizabeth Branch to announce she would join the   
   effort in an Oct. 7 statement to National Review.   
      
   "My friend, Judge Jim Ho, recently raised legitimate concerns about the   
   lack of free speech on law school campuses, Yale in particular," she   
   said.   
      
   "Like Judge Ho, I am gravely concerned that the stifling of debate not   
   only is antithetical to this country’s founding principles, but also   
   stunts intellectual growth. Accordingly, I accept Judge Ho’s invitation   
   to join him in declining to consider students from Yale Law School for   
   clerkships with me,...
