New York NY, A shocking display of workplace discrimination has gone viral after an Ivy League student explicitly rejected an interview offer based entirely on the employers’ religious background.
Austin Franco, a 19-year-old student at Cornell University, put his antisemitism on full display after applying for a summer internship with VryfID, a Jewish-owned tech startup based in New York City. When invited to advance to the interview stage, Franco responded via the student job board Handshake with a blatant message: “Not interested in working for a Jew. Thanks.”
