The Presidents of Harvard, MIT, Penn, Columbia should be forced to resign

If "better" means it's become more confirming of your beliefs since he took over, I would totally agree. But it appears to be a less reflective, less informed, less studied and less analytical place than ever before. Full of anger-stoking click-bait, but that seems to be what a lot of people crave, whether they admit it or not. It's a hack for our species' brains, sadly, and very effective, clearly.

 

Yes, doctor. As shall I.

 

A lot of this seems to be motivated by personal animus. Stefanik was kicked off Harvard's advisory board due to her persistent lying about the 2020 election and you know she's been stewing over that ever since.

These university presidents should resign in disgrace. History will not look back kindly upon their testimony. It's completely the opposite of inclusion, which if I'm not mistaken is the "I" in DEI which they love so much. Their testimony was peak virtue signaling, and they're too deep into it to realize how twisted their logic has become. Advocating for the genocide of Jews should be against any university's code of conduct. How is that even up for debate? Switch the word "Jews" with any other minority group and it's completely hate speech and kids would be expelled, cancelled and perhaps even charged with crimes.

Universities have become complete cesspools of ignorance and intolerance, and what's scary is they believe what they're doing is correct. Shame.

 

Banning the Flight guy and a bunch of other people that Musk doesn't like certainly isn't freedom of speech. He did un-ban Trump, Alex Jones, and other controversial figures. The platform under Musk isn't for freedom of speech but rather freedom of Musk-liked speech (one side of the political spectrum, or Musk's spectrum), which seems to align with you politically (and so it's 'gotten so much better').

 

It's ironic the right is taking a victory lap over the firing of postmodern liberal arts professors. They are basically the same people with different learned values pointing their fingers at each other. I can't stand either side - constant victims, living in bubbles, blaming anyone and everything for society's evils.

only one has resigned. Others still around. They were saying direct and public incitement to genocide wasn't against their code of conduct which is pretty insane.
The Harvard president specifically has a history of canceling anyone, she had the first African American dean of Winthrop house fired in 2019 when she was Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. He claimed she lied her ass off to the student to make it happen. He was an uber leftist and the ACLU came out and defended him. She off the rails insane. The fact that she plagarized ultra conservative Carol Swain for her dissertation is an extra special nugget.

 

I'm not surprised, but the details are irrelevant at this point. Both sides are insane because neither side derives their morality from rationality. In essence they are religions based on dogma.

 

I'm on the right and see this as just more the left eating their own. Do you think the board and ivy league donors making the calls to pressure these people to resign are on the right? Trump voters?

This is the inevitable reality of cancel culture. Full on great leap forward, turn in your mom for talking bad about the party.

 

she's too big to fail at this point, and they don't want to give Rufo a scalp, so they will defend the indefensible

 

If you think antisemitism isn’t a right wing problem you’re insane. Interesting again that they never call out their own misconduct.



Texas Republicans leaders recently met with Nick Fuentes who praises Hitler and is a Holocaust denier. He was a protester at the Charlottesville rally. His American First conference has been attended by Republican U.S. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar. This is a straight up Neo Nazi who has a seat at the Republicans table.

But that is completely missing my point. This particular issue is a symptom, not the disease. The disease is the inability to reason and think critically. In other words, they’re stupid.
