Blacklisting people for exercising their first amendment rights is going to get you sued.
The first amendment prevents the government from restricting your speech. It doesn't say anything about other organizations.
Question (for anyone who knows the answer), lots of universities and other orgs get federal money. Could this make first amendment more applicable?
That depends if they’re state or private universities. Private universities, like businesses, create codes of conduct more restrictive than constitutional rights as part of agreement for admission. Willful violation of the code of conduct is grounds for dismissal.
So you’re saying all of these people should go work for the government at some level? Great!
Exactly. Historically the left cancel culture has been in the private sector, which is protected. A company can fire you for saying racist shit, and you can be shunned by your community as they are individuals exercising their right to shun.
Right wing cancel culture exists in Congress and local governments, where they pass laws to silence teachers, make it illegal for trans people to exist, and send the national guard to beat up protesters.
This is an instance where a left wing group may experience the other side of the former.
Edit:
It seems I didn't communicate my idea clearly and people think the exact opposite of what I meant. I meant left wing folks tend to cancel people through social means, like when no one wants to see a film with Kevin Spacey, whereas the right wing folks cancel people legally, like how you can't be a communist in office or it's illegal for an atheist to hold office in 7 states.
My last statement is how students having trouble getting a job is part of a "social canceling".
I was super confused as to why I was getting down voted since I was trying to agree with what was being said and add to the conversation.
Brother did you know it's currently a crime in the United States of America to be a government employee and identify openly as a communist?
Oooooh I see the misunderstanding.
When I said "right wing cancel culture" I meant how the right wing cancels people. So the right cancels people through legal means while the left cancels people through social means.
What you said is a perfect example of what I mean.

Am I wrong?
wut?

Happens all the time though, authorities don't give a shit
There are 50 states, at least one of them will not look kindly on this. It is easy to tie your anti war protest to religious believes, a protected class.
Smart companies don't fuck around with hiring. Anyone that has taken hiring training knows how thin the line is.

Free speech doesn't apply to employees at work.
But non-discriminatory hiring practices does.
