DP. Of course it's not *just* about protecting Jewish people. It's also about exposing the left's utter and complete hypocrisy when it comes to free speech (and so many other things). Let's not forget: Harvard considers "cisheterosexism" (whatever the hell that made up word is supposed to mean) and "fatphobia" to "perpetuate violence." It also qualifies using the "wrong" pronouns as "abuse." Yet amidst this complete nuttery, they clearly do NOT consider hatred toward Jews to be perpetuating violence or abuse. I'm all for exposing these fools for exactly who they are, and they have done a bang-up job of that all by themselves. |
At this point, I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect anyone not already wearing the American / Israeli combo flag lapel pin to read biased, one-sided praise of the State of Israel or endorsements of a breathtakingly expansive definition of anti-semitism - in a WSJ op-ed penned by a Jewish author, no less - without rolling their eyes out of their skull. True believers gonna believe, I guess. |
Yes, exactly. This graphic was produced at Harvard. This graphic is taught to every Harvard undergrad as part of their Title IX introductory course: ![]() It is toxic and extremely divisive. Harvard is hardly alone in teaching this sort of divisive, extremist dogma. Extremism does not belong on campus. |
Magill is out and doesn’t seem to have a history of plagiarism. Kornbluth doesn’t have a history of plagiarism either, as far as we know. So they aren’t exactly identical as far as evaluating performance. But yes, all three have failed. |
Are you trying to use logic with a progressive? Come on man. |
They have. But at this point, Gay and Kornbluth will simply run out the clock. Six months from now, people won't be talking about this. Will be very curious though to see what admissions will look like at Penn, Harvard, and MIT a year from now. I suspect there will be no difference at MIT. But Penn and Harvard? Obviously all the try-hards will continue to apply. But genuinely talented students? Particularly Jewish or students that don't really click with progressive orthodoxy? I think there's a good chance Harvard becomes Oberlin going forward. I don't know about Penn. Probably more fratty. But a think a lot of really good students will want to stay away from this noise. Princeton and Duke looking much better. This was a genuinely disastrous performance by the presidents of Harvard and Penn. |
I've never seen that image before. What drivel! |
I agree nothing will happen, though I wonder if that changes if there is concrete evidence of Harvard students being expelled for plagiarism that’s a lot less than what Gay did. That may come out. |
You’re the racist moron who called Gay a “diversity hire.” |
Do you not believe in data? Sounds like it. There is plenty of polling that shows most Americans “side” with the Israelis over the Palestinians at the moment. College campuses and other institutions which are dominated by left-wing elites are outliers. |
I think much of what is in the wheel is fine. The issue is what is on the outside. |
Did anyone catch the recent NYT article on Columbia's school of social work? It's insane. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/07/opinion/social-work-columbia-ideology.html?mwgrp=c-dbar&unlocked_article_code=1.F00.-K96.ReWjn_eNWE_B&hpgrp=k-abar&smid=url-share |
DP And I’m guessing you’re the moron who said “if you consider yourself an ally you’ve got a lot of work to do” |
I can't believe the NYT actually printed that. It doesn't support leftist insanity. |
Not sure that this is an accurate and complete definition of capitalism: “a system of economic oppression based on class, private property, competition and individual profit. See also: carceral system, class, inequality, racism.” ![]() This is indoctrination, not education. I'm a moderate and have long laughed at the RWNJ complaints about the left "taking over" higher education. But in light of what we've seen in the last month and stuff like the above? They might be correct. Yuck. |
