Harvard Law Students Censor Wikipedia

Future Attorneys Attempt to Whitewash Antisemitism, Embarrass Lawyers
WASHINGTON - eTradeWire -- Law students at Harvard University edited Wikipedia pages in an apparent attempt to whitewash if not hide "antisemitic incidents" which they relabeled "pro-Palestine protests," and "incidents targeting Jewish students" to read only incidents that the law firms "described … as antisemitic."
They attacked two law firms which had indicated that they might reduce hiring of Harvard graduates because the university allegedly failed to rein in anti-Semitic incidents, notes public interest law professor John Banzhaf.
They also attacked about a dozen other firms for representing clients which the activists deemed unsavory - including Uber and the city of Grants Pass, Ore. - despite the fundamental principle that even the most despicable clients are entitled to effective legal representation, and that lawyers should not be blames because they represent even the most unsavory clients.
To one Wikileaks page about a major law firm, the activists added language referring to its alleged "Defense of Segregation," but the reference was arguably misleading because it was based upon the views of one of the firm's lawyers who had died in 1955 when society's views of rare relations were very different.

When students at Stanford Law School violated free speech rights by shouting down a federal judge who was an invited speaker, Banzhaf threatened to oppose the admission to the bar of several students who participated - See: This Law Professor Took on Nixon and Trump. Now He's Facing Off Against Stanford Law School Students (https://freebeacon.com/campus/this-law-professor-took-on-nixon-and-trump-now-hes-facing-off-against-stanford-law-school-students/) - and helped persuade the Texas Bar to do the same.
Many judges also pledged not to hire Stanford Law graduates are a result; something judges might also consider doing in light of this novel form of censorship and "newspeak" - from George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four" which referred to
propagandistic language used to muddle thought - suggests the law professor.
