A black Harvard premedical student quit school in what she called a "great act of resistance" spurred by her professors' refusal to discuss the Breonna Taylor case before an exam.
Kyla Golding, who was a Harvard Crimson editorial editor, left the university due to the "silence and avoidance between myself and my educators when it comes to black women’s lives," she wrote in an opinion article Friday.
"I took an inorganic chemistry exam the same day that a grand jury failed to charge two police officers with the murder of Breonna Taylor. That day, my body inhaled molecules of white supremacy as they seeped out of my computer from that proctored Zoom room," Golding said. "They entered my bloodstream and catalyzed a metabolism that would allow for the invasion of my body by a violently infectious life form."
Golding added that "chronic pain, caused by the perpetuation of lethally unjust practices and compounded by the silence and avoidance between myself and my educators when it comes to black women’s lives, would make its way through and onto neighboring cells within my physical being."
“I have chosen a path to justice and healing that is rooted in self-love and preservation," she said.

I doubt that she even appreciates the fact that she’s at Harvard only because she’s Black.
Bye bye.
Meanwhile the silverback on the stairwell told the gj the cops announced themselves before, during, and after, he was yellin' at them to 'leave that girl alone'!
Walker shoots Mattingly and nearly severs his femoral artery. The other 2 pull him out of the doorway and return fire. St. Bre gets a six-pack but only one was fatal.
But hey Jamarcus Glover -- the kingpin -- mostly got off earlier this month -- the prosecutors went old school and made him move out of state lofl, so maybe Golding can hook up with him in his new crib!
BWHAHAHAAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!1!!!!!
"While this isn’t just another story about the toxicity of pre-med culture, getting weeded out, or leaving my academic path for some earth-shattering love of another aspiration...The weeks I had spent preparing for that exam could never amount to the time and energy I have spent mourning Breonna Taylor...I could have put my racial trauma on display to beg professors, teaching fellows, and preceptors to consider a Black woman’s funeral worthy of an excused absence, but I couldn’t bear the harrowing reality that I was mourning while white America was not." -- Kyla N. Golding
"invasion of my body by a violently infectious life form"
She realized she was going to fail the chemistry exam anyway.
Well, she obviously doesn’t have what it takes to be a doctor. And what does Brionna Taylor have to do with a chemistry exam?!
When I read that idiotic fantasy about her bloodstream, I had to double check if this was from the Bee. I can’t believe someone entering a science field actually said something that outlandish.
That’s a growth industry!
Many an undergrad enters science or engineering only to be defeated by the math and science core courses.
What would she have done if the professor had said that Taylor was complicit with her boyfriend, was standing in the hallway next to him, and was likely killed because her boyfriend hid behind her like a human shield after he shot first at the police?

Yeah, but I bet you were not forced to inhale...
“...molecules of white supremacy as they seeped out of my computer from that proctored Zoom room,” Golding said. “They entered my bloodstream and catalyzed a metabolism that would allow for the invasion of my body by a violently infectious life form.”
That diatribe sounds more like ORGANIC chemistry - she obviously flunked the inorganic test, not to mention the sanity test.
There are dozens of countries devoid of evil white supremacist. Can we all pitch in and buy a one way ticket for her (and her ilk) with no possibility of return to this white supremacist hell hole?
Nutcase.
Likely she was looking for any reason to leave.....any reason where she could blame anyone but herself.
I repeat: Pace, Steve_Seattle!
We FReepers are made of sterner stuff.
Regards,
She’ll be a doctor before March ‘22.
