Again you confuse free choice with government-dictated punishment. Putting someone in jail is a punishment. Exercising your choice to not offer someone a job is freedom. Are ugly people being "punished" by not being hired as models? Are short people being punished by not being signed by NBA basketball teams?

If I find out my neighbor did time for rape and murder, I have a right to not invite him over for dinner. If I own a business and find out a job prospect has regularly stolen from other bosses, I have a right to not offer him a job.

Freedom. It's a simple concept...but remarkably difficult for some to grasp.

Are we still talking about the suicide attempt here? I don't see how anyone was "punished for life". So they got kicked out of one school. Stop whining, and go apply to a different one. Big deal.
