“Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?”
That was the question presented to the presidents of three elite universities—Harvard, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania—in a recent congressional hearing. Each of the three women took turns answering the question but their responses were the same: it would depend on the circumstances and conduct. None of them was willing to directly say students calling for genocide of Jewish people would violate their school’s code of conduct.
Most congressional hearings pass without much notice, but the backlash to this event was swift and angry. School alumni, politicians, and business leaders have called for the immediate resignation or expulsion of these university presidents. “Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?” asked Bill Ackman, a Harvard grad and billionaire hedge fund manager. “Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.”

The problem is institutionalized effeminacy.
So then, of course, the solution is clear: Re-masculinize, forthwith.
Liberal women put out more testosterone than liberal men.
And, madam presidents, what context would be acceptable for genocide?
Too bad the folo-up wasn’t asked?
As Rush would say, being a Dem or Lib is so easy because there are no moral boundaries or limitations. But then again that depends upon context.
CONTEXT
def: the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood.
Disgraced “Harvard president,” Claudine Gay, built
a towering ghetto-nurtured DEI empire on campus.
Source-—12/21/23 FR thread
In one example, Gay commissioned a “Task Force on Visual Culture and Signage” after the death of George Floyd in 2020. This task force later released a series of recommendations for engaging in what it referred to as the “historical reckoning with racial injustice.”
Among its recommendations reportedly included a mandate to change “spaces whose visual culture is dominated by homogenous portraiture of white men.”
It also said administrators should “refresh” the walls of Annenberg Hall, which “prominently display a series of 23 portraits, none of [which] depict women, and all but three of [which] depict white men.”
The task force never explained who the white men were or why they were on the walls of Annenberg Hall in the first place. The only reasons for the removal of these paintings appeared to be due to their skin color and sex, according to white-biased Gay.
Last year, Gay launched an initiative within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences for “de-naming” any “space, program, or other entity” deemed racist by the faculty and administration.
Moreover, deeming such entities “racist” would be “based on the perception that a namesake’s actions or beliefs were ‘abhorrent’ in the context of current values,” meaning that Harvard would use presentism in order to pass judgment on individuals who lived hundreds of years ago.
“Since then, the university has grappled with denaming multiple buildings, including Winthrop House, named after John Winthrop, governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and his great grandson, also John Winthrop, a Harvard professor and president,” Rufo pointed out.
In another example, Gay, as president of Harvard, is leading a “sprawling DEI bureaucracy,” otherwise known as Diversity, equity, and inclusion, which “seeks to influence how students speak, think, and behave in relation to race.”
The CRT expert noted that....... Harvard has deleted nearly all DEI materials from its website....... following Gay’s disastrous congressional testimony, in which she declined to say whether advocating for the genocide of Jews is permissible on campus.
Recovered DEI documents through an Internet archive show that Harvard’s diversity administrators urge students to internalize the Critical Race Theory narrative, which is that America is systemically racist, riddled with white-baiting code words like “police brutality,” “white supremacist violence,” and the “weaponization of whiteness.”
Students have also been encouraged to “unpack” their so-called “white” and “male” privileges, and to consider their “white fragility,” which ghetto-nurtured Gay’s DEI documents say is derived from “the privilege that accrues to white people living in a society that protects and insulates them from race-based stress.”
As Breitbart News reported, Gay has been facing nationwide scrutiny since the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel due to her failure to properly respond to the matter.
The Harvard leadership botched its statement after more than 30 of its student groups signed a pro-terror later blaming Israel for the terrorist attack against itself.
Gay later delivered a disastrous testimony during a congressional hearing regarding antisemitism alongside the presidents of University of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Now, the Harvard president’s own Ph.D. dissertation is being called into question over allegations of plagiarism.

It’s because Christians and Jews keep the devil up at night.
It would seem natural to emulate actions, behaviors and culture that drive success. Those that chose to do so appear as business leaders, professional athletes, successful families, etc.
To chose to emulate failed cultures, bad behaviors, and take childish actions has the inverse result.
DEI endorses the former. It is a race to the bottom, society earning a Darwin Award. It’s stupid and needs to be ridiculed, exposed and stopped.
👍👍👍👍👍
Great deconstruction: “DEI emulates failed cultures, and bad behaviors. It’s
stupid and needs to be ridiculed, exposed and stopped. It is a race to the bottom.”
It tells you a lot that Gay has fashioned an academic
career centered on failure, failed cultures, bad behaviors, etc.
Gay’s choosing to emulate cultural ruination seems to be her highest aspiration.
She is dismantling our cultural norms when she should be building them up.
Academia should advance actions, behaviors and cultures that drive success. Harvard
students aspire to be business leaders, professionals, with successful families, etc.

They just hate Jews.
“And, madam presidents, what context would be acceptable for genocide? Too bad the follow-up wasn’t asked?
I would hope the follow-up would be:
“Does calling for the genocide of muslim lead Palestinians who murdered and brutalized women and children violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?”
It should be followed with are you the answer or part of the problem? It’s either can’t have it one way without picking a side to back. Choose wisely.

Situational ethics.
When there is no absolute ruth, right and wrong lose all meaning and whatever works best for you are the moment becomes the criteria for your moral base.
They should have been asked what their response would have been to people parading around the campus chanting “White Lives Matter!”
Yes, I’d like to hear an answer to that one myself.
I think of bosses I’ve had, teachers, pastors, family members and history books. They’ve provided wisdom and guidance that I’ve tried to use in my life.
Then I think of DEI advocates, race baiters, and the conga line of enablers… they too have inspired people. For the worst. It’s a damn shame.
