'I'm Sorry': Harvard President Issues Apology Amid Outrage Over Congressional Testimony
Townhall ^ | 12/8/23 | Leah Barkoukis

Posted on 12/08/2023 12:27:38 PM PST by cotton1706

Harvard President Claudine Gay has apologized over her controversial remarks during a House Education committee hearing this week.

Gay testified alongside Elizabeth Magill, the president of the University of Pennsylvania, and Sally Kornbluth, head of MIT, during a hearing about the rise of antisemitism on college campuses.

All three women have faced intense criticism for failing to definitively state that calling for genocide against Jews would be considered a violation of harassment and bullying policies.

When Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) posed the question to Gay, she said it depended on the context.

“It does not depend on the context,” Stefanik, a Harvard alum, fired back. “The answer is yes and this is why you should resign.”

“”Substantively, I failed to convey what is my truth,” Gay added.”

Her “truth” is pure, total, 100%, undiluated bull-Obama.

Shove it, b***h.

Oh history has taught me a lot. Some of the lessons are unpleasant to say the least. Unfortunately these idiots and to be blunt evil people are dooming us to repeat some of the worse lessons...

Ah. She has “My Truth”. That means she is God.

What she should say is:

“I was wrong and I resign.”

Honor is dead, killed by woke relativism.

“Only overpaid intellectuals...”

Please don’t tell me you referred to this one as an intellectual.

The salaries of those school presidents salaries are not tied to student loans. Those three places don’t need student loans to survive. Their endowments are so huge they wouldn’t need to charge tuition for 100s of years but they do.

Revenue is a fungible commodity in Education. It inevitably comes back to the people to pay for.

Whenever you hear a commie say “My Truth” it means the truth they have been told to say..if she had two brain cells in her retarded head of hers she could have said “Yes calling for the slaughter of Jews is bad” but she couldn’t, the UPENN dumb ass couldn’t do it either because both of these Universities get BILLIONS from middle eastern countries so these colleges have to lick their jew hating asses or else they wont get any moolah

She’s hoping the media will help her let this blow over through the weekend.

Another line you will often hear, “I get it. I really do.” That proceeds the rollout of educated bull hockey.

There is no such thing as “My truth” or “your truth”

There is only truth.

Amen. Moral relativity sucks.

If someone on campus had used the "N-word", would Gay have said it depended on the context?
