     New York Times business editor Andrew Sorkin seeks an economic boycott on anti-genocide students.

     
     He wrote in a column:
     - “Many business leaders have told me they are deeply concerned about incidents of harassment against Jewish students that have taken place at and around universities like Columbia”
     - “Companies could tell universities that they won’t hire their students”
     - “Wall Street, private equity and venture capital firms may uniquely have [a pressure point]: They could threaten to stop managing the endowments” of the universities.
     - “Examining D.E.I. policies [Diversity, equity, and inclusion] [...] What would happen if the Wall Street firms also sent such questionnaires to the universities before deciding to work with them as clients?”
     - “The most common course of action so far has been to pull back on individual donations.”

     @faab64 So, McCarthyism for protesting college students. It’s a very American response, that much is true. “Shut those kids up, and if they don’t shut up, beat them and keep them from gaining access to the levers of power.”
