To allow the anti-semetic speech under the guise of free speech, but not allow a conservative point of view campus, you are a hypocrite. And R’s now jumping in to protect campuses from anti semetic speech, give me a break. Have a shred of consistency. You are either for free speech (and that with which you disagree) or you are against it. Let people speak and show how much of an idiot they truly are. |
For me, it’s not about anti semitism. I don’t think she is antisemitic. For me, personally, it’s the fact - as others have pointed out - that in todays day and age of safe spaces and micro aggression and cancel culture on college campuses, her failure to answer the question that do squarely falls within that space that colleges like Penn have created shows a level of hypocrisy I am uncomfortable with. Either you support free speech in all cases or you enforce consequences in all cases. I prefer the former but the colleges have demonstrated a penchant for the latter - unless applied to some speech ie antisemitism. And the bar has been set very low by these safe spaces, where even gestures are deemed inappropriate. |
+1. There has absolutely been consistency in universities enforcing academic freedom and allowing freedom of speech. The pro Israeli crowd is just frustrated that people are putting Israel in the hot seat and want to curb free speech because of that. The students did nothing wrong that comes even close to threats, misconduct or harassment. A USC professor in video hoped that all the Palestinians would die. I hope you all advocate that he gets fired too. |
Penn abandoned the tenets of academic freedom a decade ago. But you didn’t care much when the victims of that were people you disagreed with. In fact you cheered it on. It’s just now that your pet cause has been impacted that suddenly you care about academic freedom. Too little, too late. |
Funniest thing I’ve read in this entire thread. Absolutely delusional. 🤣🤣🤣 |
Someone who performed so embarrassingly as a face of her university was pushed out of her leadership role but retained her tenured teaching job. What a novel definition of witch hunt. |
We must protect President Gay from the interests aligned against her.
Yes Queeen! |
She was fine at her job, she stumbled at the congressional hearing, which is not part of her job, because she had to walk the fine line between placating a performatively angry conservative and stifling free speech, whose definition always seems to shift depending on the speaker. Antisemitism comimg from white supremacists marching in Charlotesville? That's ok. Criticism of Israel coming from brown people? Antisemitism! |
Well, any white male with stones would have put Stefanik in her place. |
White Schmite Jews are being excluded and you know it. Basically, merit based schools will be Asians and Jews. Period. |
Because there is a hierarchy in victimhood within the Democratic party. They would rather support a black woman condoning Jewish genocide than get labeled a racist. It is better to paint the "white women" that were raped and tortured by Hamas as oppressors than even hint that a very powerful, well paid, coddled black woman could be anything but oppressed. |
Disagree. |
Her preamble that intifada means genocide was transparently bullshit. |
I disagree that she was fine at her job and that she applied freedom of speech equally across the board. . Cancelling a conservative speaker - curtailing freedom of speech for conservative students while allowing Pro-Palestinian speakers to speak - allowing freedom of speech - how’s that fair? And as President that’s her job too! |
I think she already condemned blm/ antifa. It'd be good for Dems to catch up. |
