Quote # 1, “Islam is not like other religions in the United States… it poses an absolute danger to us and our children unless we monitor Islam. If America is to be safe, it must institute serious monitoring of Islamic organizations.”

Four weeks after they summoned Harvard President Dr. Claudine Gay to an inquisition before the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington DC, Harvard University fired Dr. Claudine Gay as president of the nearly four-hundred-year-old institution of “higher learning.”

Dr. Gay muddled some answers to questions hurled at her about the ongoing war between Israel and the Palestinians, the bullying of some Jewish students on campus, and the cry for genocide of the Jews. 

Dr Gay refused to answer the question of genocide outright and seemed to conflate her answer with the right to free speech and threats.

When Harvard hired Dr Gay as President of Harvard, she checked several boxes of diversification. With stars in her eyes, she accepted the post at what used to be an all-white male institution that has existed since 1636.

Dr Gay, the 30th president (a Harvard graduate), was only the second woman to hold the post of president and the first Black person to sit in that chair. She’s a first-generation American of Haitian immigrants. Her mother was an R.N. Nurse, and her father served as an engineer in the Army Corps of Engineers.

Quote #2

The re-election of President Barack Obama in 2012 “was a terrifying situation,” and liberals won’t tell you that “black-on-white crimes are under-reported in the media.” [Crime fluctuates in America, except on Fox News and News Nation]. 

What prompted the invitation of the three female college presidents to address questions about the Middle East wars between Israel and Palestine? 

 After Hamas attacked the Israelis on October 7, the Israelis followed with justifiable retaliatory strikes against Hamas—purportedly. Most sane people agree that the Israelis have a right to defend themselves and to strike those who strike them.

Then Benjamin Netanyahu crossed a line from justifiable defense to mass killings of Palestinian civilians. And as college kids are wont to do to get the attention of grownups, when they believe something isn’t right — they protest.

U.S. Representatives facing pressure from political donors, on December 05, Congress set up an inquisition panel to cross-examine the presidents of three of America’s top Ivy League universities: University of Pennsylvania (McGill), Harvard’s Gay, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sally Kornbluth. 

The leader of the inquisition panel was a wild-eyed supporter of Donald Trump and the January 6 insurrectionists, congressperson Elise Stefanik.

Quote #3:

Black Lives Matter is “a Marxist organization” and “a very destructive force in America.”It is “pure Marxism,” and it “needs to go.” Black Lives Matter is on the same footing as the Ku Klux Klan.

Harvard fired Dr Gay as president but allowed her to remain a faculty member. Dr Gay’s tenure as Harvard President lasted six months. The reason for her forced resignation? Plagiarism. Right-wing pundit Steven Rufo revealed that Dr. Gay lifted parts of her thesis from the writings of a Black face Right-wing loon — Dr Carol Swain. Quotes 1,2 and 3 are the words Carol Swain, aka Auntie.  

Editor’s Note: The Ku Klux Klan is a violent, racist and genocidal group responsible for thousands of murder and lynching of African Americans, and a history of waging terror campaigns against Black people — over two hundred years. While Black Lives Matter, top leaders are grifters, thieves and con artists, we cannot draw a parallel line between them and the murderous terrorists of the Ku Klux Klan.

According to Wikipedia, “Swain was co-chairperson for President Donald Trump’s 1776 Commission, which released its report in January 2021 as a response to The New York Times Magazine’s 1619 Project.” Auntie frequently appears on right-wing fringe stations Fox News and News Inflation, Leland Vitert’s spewing David Duke’s propaganda.

Auntie was correct in that Dr Gay should have credited her for her writings. They did not fire Dr. Gay for plagiarism; Harvard fired her for not giving the desired answers at the Inquisition.

Soon after the congressional December 05 clash between right-wing January 6 insurrectionist supporter Rep Elise Stefanik and U Penn President Liz McGill, the University of Pennsylvania Board forced McGill to resign. Her tenure lasted 17 months.
