Fox News' Jessica Tarlov says educators aren't doing enough as she slams pro-Hamas students looking for jobs in US
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fox News host Jessica Tarlov slammed students who have spoken in support of the Palestinian group Hamas and supported corporations that have decided to declare them unemployable.
'The Five' host addressed the case of an NYU law student losing a major job over stating that Israel 'bears full responsibility' for the Hamas attacks following the occupation of Palestine.
Tarlov came in to justify why such students should not be made part of important jobs in the field of law and also called out the education system for lacking in teaching students about issues like the Israel-Palentinian conflict.
Jessica Tarlov slams NYU student on Israel war views
Tarlov sided with the CEOs who have asked to have students blacklisted from the employment pool over their views on the ongoing war.
"You could not get a job because you were topless at a frat party or you smoked pot and that was on social media," the host said.
She went on to say, "Then, this seems like it's a lot more meaningful about how you see the world, what kind of employee you are going to be, what you will add to the culture."
She also called out the NYU law student on wanting to pursue a job in a law firm with her anti-Israel views.
"I do think it's funny about this woman who was the head of the NYU Student Bar Association that she was going off to a big law firm," Tarlov added,
"She was going to be a public defender! Or something like that. She was going to do a cushy job and get on the corporate law track and make millions of dollars which seems quite the opposite of these kinds of views to espouse," Tarlov said.
Jessica Tarlov shares concern over education 'chasm'
The Fox News host also shared the reasoning behind such views of students on the education system and the ways in which it lacks in making students aware of issues around the world.
"Yesterday, I mentioned this: I think there's a tremendous education chasm that happens about a lot of issues; civics here in the US, we talk about it all the time," Tarlov continued,
"But people clearly don't understand the origins of this conflict or what it actually means. And their teachers aren't doing a good job explaining it to them which is a shame," she said.
She went on to praise a few educators who have been vocal about the conflict.
"Some professors are speaking out like Larry Summers and Jason Furman at Harvard released a whole statement of his own saying 'I usually don't get involved in this but I cannot be silent about it," Tarlov said.
