It's already fucked her life. This fiasco is going to be the top result of any future searches potential employers will see. This is just a pure god damn disgrace to humanity and the DA, the cops, fucking EVERYONE involved should be prosecuted for the bullshit they're putting this poor student through. This is not right.

True, but I expect that for a number of potential employers, it will increase her chances. Not everyone who goes a Google search on her name and finds things like this will immediately stop consider hiring her. Some will actually think it's positive.

I could, for instance: it's certainly a demonstration that she has intellectual curiosity, which is good in some jobs. In some of the better jobs, actually. These jobs could be a minority, but in the end, you usually have only one job at a time anyway...

I hope not, I hope that anyone that googles her is as outraged as we are and won't hold it against her. If she is interviewed by right minded people it might even be a nice thing to talk about.

This would have never reached the extent it did if most people were right minded. We are not the norm in America.

That statement makes no sense. Most people were not involved in Kiera's case at all, so it cannot possibly reflect on "most people."

But, to find a job you don't need to please most people. You need to find just one "right-minded" employer. Whatever that means.

Sounds like name-changing time.

Though don't get me wrong, I do think it's absolutely disgusting to punish someone so disproportionately for something that should have been handled by a swift telling off.
