I watched the hearing on Wednesday. The Presidents of Harvard and Penn disgusted me. As did Dems House members' attempts to provide cover for the antisemites.
The U Penn President is now facing numerous calls to resign...or to be fired.
Fascinatingly, as I watched her incoherent attempts to resist calls to condemn antisemitism, d@ngit, I couldn't help but to think of our own Donna's elitist what I've come to think of "Progressive Neo-Neo-Naziism"...
...which was fashionable in the US in those first hours when Donna ignored the rapes and babymurders to whine about Israel cutting of... very temporarily... fresh water to Gaza.
That way of thinking is now being understood for what it is... and even Presidents of Ivy League universities... among the last to repent of it... are paying the price.
It's hate. It's bigotry.
PHILADELPHIA -- The University of Pennsylvania is under fire after President Liz Magill's comments at the congressional hearing on antisemitism earlier this week.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is calling her responses "shameful."
Amid the growing controversy, there are more calls for her to resign, to be fired and to reevaluate the Ivy League school's policies.
The presidents of three of the most elite universities in the country are facing calls to resign after tense moments on Capitol Hill Tuesday in which lawmakers accused them of not doing enough to crack down on antisemitism and hate on campus.
Do you believe that type of hateful speech is contrary to Harvard's code of conduct or is it allowed at Harvard," asked Rep. Elise Stefanik, (R) New York.
"It is at odds with the values of Harvard but are values are also," Dr. Claudine Gay, president of Harvard University, tried to respond.
"Can you not say here that it's against the code of conduct," Rep. Stefanik interrupted.
"We embrace a commitment to free expression even of views that are objectionable, offensive and hateful. It's when that speech crosses into conduct that violates our policies against harassment and bullying," Dr. Gay rebutted.
"I am asking specifically -- calling for the genocide of Jews, does that constitute bullying or harassment," Rep. Stefanik asked Magill.
"If it is directed and severe pervasive, it is harassment," Magill said.
"So, the answer is yes," Rep. Stefanik asked.
"It is a context-dependent decision," Magill responded.
"It is a context-dependent decision? That's your testimony today? Calling for the genocide of Jews is depending upon the context," Rep. Stefanik said.
Can't you just hear Donna. "But. But. But. Fresh water!"
Thank God. Finally. The hate is being seen for what it is!!!!!
