It is not about the policy but the application of the policy. Allowing groups to support terrorism, aka Hamas, then allowing them to condemn people of the Jewish faith is free speech. But when you deny free speech to people of religious faith over LGBTQ+, or crime, or economic freedoms or whatever and yet allow hatred simply because you may not agree with persons of the Jewish or Christian faith is disturbing. After about a week, the presidents' mentioned will suddenly resign, saying something like this has become too distracting (and costly). They will keep their tenured positions, board assignments and golden parachutes. People will still continue to vote Liberal even though they have shown through actions Democrats dislike people of any faith, except those faiths which murder, hate LGBTQ+ rights and especially women's rights.
Where’s the cancel culture now?
We should all demand that college bailouts be halted immediately. These students who cant identify a woman, dont deserve tuition forgiveness. Dont be fooled, these schools are pushing democratic propaganda. This is the direction the wealthy leaders want this country to go.
No pressure at all. These universities will continue their legacy of educating some of the brightest minds. That isn’t anti semitism. That’s intellect. It will continue just like civil rights and just like Vietnam. Jewish people should be ashamed! The KKK has terrorized us for generations and no one has a problem with their myriad of groups on campus!! Get real!!!! End the genocide!!!! End colonization!! The truth doesn’t care about your feelings!! Babies are dead but you want to stop the students ability to protest in Amerikkka?! Good luck.
All of these ivy league colleges, need to have their tax-free status removed, their funding removed, ability to have their own police force needs to be taken away, and all large corporations need to make a public announcement that they will no longer be hiring anyone from these colleges.
WIth those types running Harvard ,Penn State and MIT,who wants to bet we'll see a decline in their Accademic ratings in the near future.
700 Harvard professors vigorously fight for the right to… continue antisemitism on Harvard.
When you accept donations from rich people ,rich people control your freedom of speech
She is going to try to play the race card
NO MORE FREEDOM OF SPEECH in AMERICA,now we being told what we can & can't say
Americas biggest mistake was getting involved. They are going to sabotage us from the inside
Its all a show folks. The good ol' divide and conquer tecnique at its best
Should all be fired ….
The answers from these university Presidents had nothing to do with the questions, this was ego, when a woman feel intimidated, they will be defensive, even if they are wrong.
Hiring Freeze on all Harvard Degrees!
America is speaking out!
Its amazing how they are bothered by a antisemitic genocide comment! When actually genocide is being committed by some jewidh people in Israel. The world is lost
Interesting that this black woman can be racist toward the Jewish people without any repercussions, yet if the story was flipped, she would be screaming racism, like a stuck hog. I guess that it is time to ignore any cries about racism from harvard and mit!
What is the contexts i wolud like to here both sides not just a quick sound bite that may have been taken out ouf context
This whole planet is corrupt and one sided if a astroid hit us tomrrow it would be all for the better because we as a species collectively still dont understand wht it is to be human and how to treat each other
The Harvard president won’t be fired because she is a diversity hire. Boycott them all.
Wonder how she got the job in the first place.
ALWAYS a double standard with black privilege. They can be racist as they want but if she was white they would burn down Harvard.
Shame on why these global lead universities have these woke pro hamas as presidents
She is still employed there.
You know what I what I would tell those people ONCE UPON A TIME YOU DRESSED SO FINE, GAVE THE BUMS A DIME IN YOUR PRIME. PEOPLE CALL OUT BEWARE DOLL YOU'RE BOUND TO FALL AND YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE AL JUST KIDDING YOU!!!!!! HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE ON YOUR OWN LIKE ROLLING STONE A COMPETE UNKNOWN HOW DOES IT FEEL? is that antisemitism if you sing to Jewish people all day every day. HOW DOES IT FEEL? WHEN YOUR ROOSTER CROWS AT THE BREAK OF DAWN, LOOK OUT YOUR WINDOW AND I'LL BE GONE. YOU'RE THE REASON I'M TRAVELING ON.
NBC stop deleting comments!!! Stefanik is trying to make us believe that Zionism (political view) is Semetism. Here's a Jewish Rabbi tells the truth,
https://youtu.be/m-bgWK04YkY?si=B6B4Kpt_53B8wTgK
FUNNY LEFTY OR BLACK AND YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT……
Resign!!!!!
Slack digger token woke punt.
These nasty democats need to go!!!!!
BDH: Boycott, Divest, Harvard
Here again, this phony stay's in because the color of her skin!!!
Harvard just revealed itself to the whole world😂😂😂
The smirk says it all !!
African american studies is not an academic discipline.
I'm curious about the context in which calling for the genocide of Jews would not be inappropriate. Someone please enlighten me.
You have child ready for university. Your family is Jewish. They have good grades. Do you go to Harvard knowing this is how they view you or do you go anywhere else while cementing to everyone you know that Harvard is not to be trusted or considered a university of quality? Harvard is not simply losing the Jewish they are damaging their reputation with everyone whether those graduating now, in the future or the past. They have tainted their “brand”. Harvard is torpedoing themselves which is odd to watch given they supposedly teach higher thinking. Unwise and foolish yet another reason not to trust their discernment to teach material properly. It will be interesting to watch students as they become embarrassed and sheepishly admit they attend/have attended Harvard now.
Harvard is an absolute disgrace. She had to go to court and wasn’t FIRED regarding this? This is insane. What is with these people? They can take that tweet and shove it up their a**. Unbelievable for them to tweet that when THEY THEMSELVES are not held to that same standard. The Board of Directors, head of HR, and ALL higher ups should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for trying to get her and this swept under the rug.
Exactly what's wrong with higher education in America. I cut my college off and not a dime for them since they acted like this. Your kids are being brainwashed into think discussion of Genocide is fine, but only for certain groups. As a Christian I find her response disgusting!
Harvard is scared!!! They turned off all comments on YouTube. You can’t comment on Facebook cause they are wrong!!!! Harvard has become a hate college!! The President hates Jews!!! I would never waste my money to send my kid there!!! Harvard has become the Third Reich University!!!
She called for V!0lence ! Fire Her! She will still get a Pay check though.
Joe Biden, "I went to Harvard and graduated at the top of my class with 98.6 degrees!"
Suddenly, Moe's University was in the running again.
The administrators of these elite schools have been accepting donations from hostile countries in the millions for years directing the path of their education.
A cleansing must happen, from the top down to every single teacher that hides behind the vail of free speech. When one hundred students can shout the destruction of any group of people on the schools door steps as one of those people struggle to enter that school and is ok with it. They should not only be fired from that school but charged with aiding the the act of harassment and intimidation causing emotion stress , pain and suffering. My opinion, a cleansing must happen and fast.
If I called for the genocide of PoC would she give the same response?
Hitler, "The use of those camps was taken out of context."
I know 3 women who want the money they paid for some attorney advice back.
Barack Obama, "Now that's my kind of woman!!!"
SHE CAN TAKE HER "BIG PLASTIC GLASSES" AND HER "SMALL ANGRY HAIRSTYLE"–AND "SKEE-DADDLE!"… 🐴 🐎 🐴 🐎
–AND DON'T LET THE BARN-DOOR HIT YOU ON YOUR "CONTEXTUAL POSTERIOR" 😳 🙄 🙄 🙄 😊 ON YOUR WAY OUT…
who would have guess diversity hires would lead to this, shocking.
