But the apparent persecution wasn’t just a one-off, and according to a report out at The Washington Free Beacon yesterday, Gay also went after Roland Fryer, a “renowned black economics professor at Harvard,” and “suspended and revoked” Fryer’s “many academic privileges” after applying the Brett Kavanuagh presumption of guilt.

Fryer was a top Black professor at Harvard. After having overcome all sorts of hardship and childhood deprivation, Professor Fryer joined the faculty at Harvard to become the second-youngest professor ever to be awarded tenure at Harvard, and went on to blaze a trail of distinction, including winning the MacArthur Fellowship and the John Bates Clark Medal.

Yet when Fryer undertook research into the killings of unarmed Black men in Houston, Fryer’s research found no racial disparities. He made the mistake of undercutting the racial narrative that the Left has adopted, and as a result, Gay did her best to remove all of his academic privileges, coordinating a witch hunt against him. Fryer survived Gay's crusade of discharge but Fryer’s lab was shut down, his reputation tarnished.

The left, and all their bosom buddies, need to come to grips with the facts that outright
rejection of Western values (in the DEI hire of Claudine Gay) has enormous consequences.

Harvard’s Brave New World failed spectacularly.

Harvard has lost its honor, its academic preeminence and faces problems yet to
surface when it chose to burden itself with the cumbersome baggage of Claudine Gay.

To blame this on conservatism is preposterous.

Conservatism did not make Claudine say and do the things that contributed to her fall from grace.

Rather Claudine Gay was taking her cues from liberalism. She disdained and demeaned
cultural norms, and appeared to have not even a modicum of limits on her behavior.

IOW, a perfect liberal.

The fact that Harvard had not kicked this dumb**s out, but gave her a soft landing to a ridiculously high-paying position is blatant proof that Harvard has become a cesspool of evil.
