CAMBRIDGE, MA — As controversy continued to swirl at Harvard University after the school's board expressed unanimous support for its embattled leader, President Claudine Gay responded to the people calling for her removal by giving a rousing, original speech she wrote called "I Have A Dream."
"This is something I just wrote last night to inspire others," Gay said. "It is my hope that this speech, which I wrote entirely myself, will help other people stand up under unjust oppression, just as I have over the last week."
Gay then took a piece of paper from her pocket, unfolded it, and recited one of the most inspirational speeches anyone had ever heard. "I don't remember hearing someone speak with such conviction," said one member of the audience. "Actually…there does feel like there's something familiar about it, but wow, what a great speech!"
Harvard and its president have come under heavy fire following controversial statements made during a congressional hearing regarding antisemitism on college campuses along with allegations of plagiarism on the part of Gay. As part of her speech, Gay expressed a desire to move forward to a brighter future. "I have a dream!" she said, drawing impassioned gasps from the crowd.
At publishing time, school officials and journalists hailed the speech as a turning point in the tense situation. "This will truly bring about healing," said another attendee. "This was the type of speech you would expect to hear from a prominent social figure, standing on the steps of a national landmark or something. Amazing."
Here’s an excerpt:
Fourscore and seven years ago.......
when you are an unqualified woke choice for a job, the only choice you have is to lie and plagiarize
Worked for Joe Biden.
Claudine Gay: “And, if I’m not fired, we are just five days away from fundamentally transforming the Harvard Board of Trustees.”
If you do a little research on the origins of King’s speech, you may find this story from the Bee doubly ironic.
The plagiarism to get the PhD likely came first.
I imagine her PhD committee held her to no standards and pushed her forward as quickly as possible.
LOL——embattled Harvard President Claudine Gay responded to calls for her removal
by giving a rousing, original speech she wrote all by herself, called “I Have A Dream.”
“This is something I just wrote last night to inspire others,” Gay said. “It is my hope that this “I Have A Dream.” speech......which I wrote entirely myself...... will help other people stand up under unjust oppression, just as I have over the last week.
“So Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong.”
This is a speech I wrote to,inspire others:
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Abraham Lincoln....er, I Mean not Abraham Lincoln, but bob434
[I joke of course, some dude with a funny stove pipe hate wrote that]
Why? Did he plagiarize it?
Lordy how I love The Bee
Most excellent
Thnaks, I wrote it myself- not- cuz I are an excellent article writer if I may say so myself. (Hey, I gotta boost my own ego, no one else will lol)
funny, unlike SNL.
I think BB should start doing skits, on youtube or something, it would be hilarious. Maybe even for Gutfelds show.
Last night Greg Kelly on Newmax had the Doctor interviewed who was the person that Gay plagiarized.
oh that one was qualified, just not to be VP, she was well qualified for your original job of being on her knees.
Congrats on a good read
The Bee does have a video section on their site. Some are pretty good. This one is older (from when Elon Musk was firing Twitter employees), but it’s one of my favorites
