Billboard trucks were sent to Harvard’s New England Campus on Sunday demanding the university’s president Claudine Gay be fired.
The trucks displayed Claudine Gay’s photo along with the words “Fire Gay.”
Claudine Gay came under fire for dismissing the calls for genocide against the Jews to be a violation of the school’s code of conduct in front of the House Education Committee earlier this month.
Gay was among the university presidents grilled by Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., regarding the rise of antisemitism on college campuses and the vocal calls of “intifada” during pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
Stefanik asked Gay, “You understand that the use of the term intifada in the context of the Israeli-Arab conflict is indeed a call for violent armed resistance against the State of Israel, including violence against civilians and the genocide of Jews… And there have been multiple marches at Harvard with students chanting quote ‘There is only one solution, intifada revolution’ and quote ‘Globalize the intifada.’ Is that correct?”
Gay responded, “I’ve heard that thoughtless, reckless and hateful language on our campus, yes,” calling it “abhorrent” and “hateful speech.”
When specifically pressed on whether calls for “intifada,” direct support for the genocide of Jewish people, violated Harvard’s code of conduct, Gay weakly replied that it “depends on the context.”
One truck circled the campus while a second one is at the main gate of the school showing her conversation with Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York earlier this week.
A plane will also fly over the campus over the coming week saying “HARVARD-STOP JEW HATRED.”
Fox News Reported:
Billboard trucks demanding Harvard’s President Claudine Gay be fired were deployed to the New England campus on Sunday, Fox News Digital learned, just days after her controversial remarks to Congress regarding whether calls for the genocide of Jews breaks the school’s code of conduct.
“FIRE GAY,” the privately-funded trucks read, accompanied by photos of Gay while she appeared before Congress last Tuesday.
One of the trucks is circling the campus, while the other is positioned at the school’s main gate and blaring Gay’s exchange with Republican New York Rep. Elise Stefanik on Tuesday. The private funder running the billboard box truck campaign will also deploy a plane over campus this week with a banner reading, “HARVARD — STOP JEW HATRED,” Fox News Digital learned.
The same tactic was used to put pressure on University of Pennsylvania President Elizabeth Magill.
Billboard trucks drove around University of Pennsylvania with the words “Fire Liz.” The pressure that was put on her led to her resignation on Saturday.
The Lice Cut negress is an agent of diversity gone terminal.
I didn’t know Groot had a sister.
Cant fire people of her class for any reason.
There are rumors that much of her PhD Thesis was plagiarized. If that’s true, then it’s really gay.
She’s a forggin’ far-left freak show who is way in over her head. You’d think a college president would have at least a little intelligence.
Why? That’s ray-cist.
Harvard certainly went full boat Woke when they put her in charge of Harvard and its 50+ billion dollar endowments.
IMO, the very last university from which I’d hire a graduate is Harvard.
University leadership is a symptom of the sick system, not the actual cause. The causes are (I hate this word) “diverse.”
* The divorce between who pays for education and the economic benefit by those who receive it.
* A plethora of courses that have nothing to do with “education” and everything to do with manufacturing a political outcome.
There are others, but time and desire to do something more produtive combine to limit me to just those two.
She has three aces up her sleeves ... black, female, liberal ... virtually untouchable ... and she exudes the arrogance of being well aware of those aces.
Joe Biden plagiarized and it didn’t stop him.
The doubly insulated Harvard president will be removed for cause having nothing to do with her House testimony.
The causes are (I hate this word) “democratic.”....................
Just like Cringe On Pierre, they’d never fire a woman who’s both Black & Gay ;-)
From wiki:
Gay grew up the child of Haitian immigrants..............
Universities are very tolerant of speech they agree with.
Harvard President Claudine Gay was hired by her Leftist masters to attack whitey and the United States, not turn on her masters.
Just think, the three women on that congressional panel were the most intelligent equal opportunity affirmative action people they could find to run the country’s most prominent universities. That’s what’s going on everywhere. We’re sinking like a rock.
I guess the Harvies couldn’t find an American fit for the Harvard President gig.
