Acknowledging one’s missteps and moving on is a normal part of life. Unfortunately, when those missteps are done in the public eye, they can lead to ruined reputations and livelihoods.

Just ask Ilya Shapiro, a legal expert and analyst, formerly of the Cato Institute. A poorly worded tweet regarding President Joe Biden’s possible Supreme Court nominations started an avalanche of controversy. Now, gutless administrators at Georgetown Law School are kowtowing to students who wish to punish Shapiro for wrongthink. Some students are even demanding such nonsense as reparations and places to cry. Here’s to hoping these individuals never become practicing attorneys.
