Harvard President Claudine Gay is today walking back her shocking comments on antisemitism, insisting her words have been 'confused' and that the school will take action against anyone threatening Jewish students.

Gay and the presidents of UPenn and MIT have been eviscerated for telling congress yesterday that calls for the genocide of Jews do not violate their codes of conduct.

After ferocious backlash and a donor boycott, Gay released a statement today insisting she'd been misunderstood.

Whatever. If someone called for Palestinians to be wiped out, and chased them into a building where they had to be rescued.
Can you IMAGINE the crap storm?

This affirmative action woman is unfit to teach 2nd graders.

Misunderstood.......balderdash.

She knew exactly what she was saying......and so do we.

Donor backlash......made her change her tune.

Now fire the know-nothing genocide agitator.

She couldn’t say YES, when asked if advocating genocide was against the school’s code of conduct - my next question would have been, is advocating lynching against the school’s code of conduct.

Those institutions have such enormous endowments that they have no real fear of alumni backlash. Sure, she’s walking it back, because, well, money is money, and that’s the whole reason any of those institutions exist.

Until/unless their classrooms are empty, they’ll continue on with their woke ways.

Your average 2nd grader, 6/7 year old, has more sense than this gal.

She was asked whether calls for Jewish genocide were prohbited by Harvard policy. She said “They can be.” The difference between “they can be” and “they are” in this situation is “they can be” allows the possibility that they might not be. Her follow-up answer seemed to imply that it was OK to say, “KILL THE JEWS!” so long as you don’t say “KILL THAT JEW!”

I doubt that Gay would qualify her comments so much if someone shouted, “KILL THE BLACKS” or “KILL THE GAYS!!!” (I mean, Marvin is already dead, so...)

A good start would be expelling the members of 30 student organizations that signed a letter calling for genocide. A second good step would be firing every Hamas terrorist sympathizing faculty member. Finally Gay should fire herself for being worthless and weak. The program of amping up the horror of the Oct 7 sexual crimes is working.

Some blacks. Trump is finally making inroads to Blacks as a voting group, and I dare say that proves much more diversity of thought than you’ll find on an Ivy League campus.

And I’ll say it again. All three of those Poison Ivy leaders were women, Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.

Yet gain, flat out evil is defended by women. This time it’s genocide that is ok. This is becoming the case again and again. They planned parenthood salad eating baby parts scandal was all female. Nearly all of the perversion being pushed by school boards is committed by women. The recent Clark County NV school board that stopped a parent reading that homosexual cartoon book that was in their library… all female.

They are at the point end of the spear of all sick socialist authoritarian America hate these days.

I feel bed for the 35% or so of women that do not have mentality. One need only to look at Stefanik fighting them. Good ones are out there, but they are badly outnumbered. But what the hell happened to the majority of women in this country?

I just think the ham ass and their supporters should be wiped out. Not my fault that a vast majority of arabs in Israel support genocide.

Harvard should give half of its endowment to reparations.
