Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest
American Thinker ^ | 10 Dec, 2023 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 12/10/2023 4:52:55 AM PST by MtnClimber

Watching Congresswoman Elise Stefanik’s questioning of the presidents of MIT, Harvard, and the University of Pennsylvania may have been eye-opening for many, but for those of us who have been paying attention, it wasn’t. Their answers were dumb and once the full extent of their discriminatory policies are exposed in private litigation and Title VI federal and congressional investigations, it will be clear why they answered as they did, hoping to avoid the scrutiny they deserve. Even dumber are the students being taught at these and most of our colleges and universities. Dumbest are the boards which have for the past decades ignored the policies which have led to this, a clear violation of their fiduciary responsibilities to these institutions which have been rotted out under their watch.

Dumb

Stefanik asked Claudine Gay (Harvard), Elizabeth Magill (University of Pennsylvania) and Sally Kornbluth (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) whether “From the river to the sea” is genocidal, and they all agreed it is. She then asked whether calling for the genocide of Jews violate their schools’ code of conduct. With smirks Gay said, “It can be, depending on the context,” Magill replied “It is a context-dependent decision, Congresswoman.” Kornbluth indicated it would, “If targeting individuals, not making public statements.” Since then, Gay and Magill have submitted “clarifying” statements. Both Gay and Magill’s schools rank at the very bottom of FIRE’s free speech ranking of 248 universities. Nevertheless, either because of confusion or attempted distraction, the presidents of three of the leading universities in the country muddied the water between free speech and their obligations to provide a safe space for students and scholars.

I had to watch that questioning three times. It blew me away, they didn’t understand.

Not surprising at all given that almost all public and private institutions in America are currently governed by kakistocracies.

They understood perfectly well. Three lefty, slimy, weasel women with the honesty and integrity of wharf rats. Not even well coached by their lawyers,

Did Claudine Gay (Harvard president) remind anyone else of Digital Underground’s Shock G? That’s all I kept thinking about.



I thought, “Any minute now, she’s going to break into the Humpty Dance.”

Nothing more disheartening than putting rabid liberal women in charge of anything.

Surprising that a representative could expose these clowns. HOORAY Elise Stefanik!

Does Ms. Gay recognize ‘contextual’ racism??

Sickening what capitulating to racial nonsense and vindictiveness has done and continues to do to our country.
South Africa is a harbinger of where America is headed if the influence of such imbeciles is not soon terminated.

“Universities have become kakistocracies.”


I wish that were true. They are, unfortunately, very competent and able.

Worse than disheartening, it’s downright suicidal!

We need to take back MSM and the education system.

I was thinking Steven Quincy Urket grew up, chopped of his dinaling, and change his name to Stefanie.

They not only speak evil, but they’re babbling nonsense about context. Granted, it’s tough to defend genocide based on racial hatred.

By virtue of her lice cut hair she is advertising that she is racist.

The lice cut is symbolically African

Democrats cater to upper class, college educated women just like these air heads. It’s sad that it took a massacre to expose them for being the immoral, selfish monsters that they are. Pecker puss Pelosi, Hillary and Little White Dove Warren gave us a hint of how evil they are. Now we know it’s all of them.
