Transcript
- 0:03So here's the headline, Claudine Gay resigns as Harvard president, claims racial animus
- 0:10fueled criticism. And what's really interesting to me about this is that, as
- 0:14we all know, for years, for years now, any criticism of the
- 0:19left has been met with accusations of being an ist or a phobe. And
- 0:24here we have, at the very pinnacle of academia, the president of Harvard
- 0:29herself has nothing else. That's all she's got. Well, it must be
- 0:35racism, that's it. I mean, just tell me you're completely morally and
- 0:41intellectually bankrupt without telling us that you're morally an intellectually bankrupt. Gay's reported resignation
- 0:48comes in the wake of numerous plagiarism allegations, as well as her controversial congressional
- 0:54testimony on what Harvard is doing to combat anti Semitism on campus after Hamas attack
- 1:00on Israel. Here's from Christopher Rufo. This is Claudine Gay's resignation letter.
- 1:06Rather than take responsibility for minimizing anti semitism, committing serial plagiarism, intimidating the
- 1:12free press, and damaging the institution, she calls her critics racist. This
- 1:18is the poison of dei ideology. Glad she's gone. She says, it
- 1:23has been distressing to have had doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate and
- 1:30to upholding scholarly rigor well. I mean she didn't say it depended on the
- 1:36context when people are calling for genocide, but I mean, just me,
- 1:40let's see upholding scholarly rigor well. I mean, there are like new plagiarism
- 1:45scandals coming out like every single day. I'm sorry, you get an f
- 1:51but she continues, two bedrock values that are fundamental to who I am,
- 1:56but just clearly not though you're clearly lying about that, and frightening to be
- 2:02subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animis there you go. It's
- 2:08not your fault because of your actions, it's society's fault. Yeah, And
- 2:14that's just classic DEI, isn't it. Let's see, Gay has been hit
- 2:17with nearly fifty allegations of plagiarism, affecting eight of her seventeen published works.
- 2:24So fifty allegations of plagiarism or I guess as it's known now at Harvard reparations.
- 2:31I mean, the media tried to save her, at least initially.
- 2:34Hear from The New York Times, Harvard finds more instances of duplicative language,
- 2:39so all of a sudden, plagiarism is duplicative language. And Harvard itself wanted
- 2:46to keep her. I mean. Here from the Associated Press, Harvard faculty
- 2:49rallies to the aid of university president criticized for remarks on anti semitism, and
- 2:53why would they want to gone, She's exactly what they did want in the
- 2:58first place. She's woke as all hell. They wanted someone who would police
- 3:01pronouns and microaggressions and then purge any heretics against the woke orthodoxy, and that's
- 3:08what they got. Here from the Daily Mail, black law professor says Harvard
- 3:13President Claudine Gay deserves attacks on her credibility because she helped destroy careers of two
- 3:20African American scholars whose work contradicted her woke beliefs. And this actually illustrates quite
- 3:28well how the whole kind of anti racist thing in woke is all bullshit.
- 3:31At the end of the day. It's just simply about bowing down to their
- 3:36cult ideology. And it doesn't matter what color you are, just ask Larry
- 3:40Elder. And obviously things got to a point where they're like, well,
- 3:44look, you've got to step down, especially after it turns out, you
- 3:47know, half of her seventeen published papers had plagiarized passages in them, and
- 3:53seventeen is very low, by the way, very low to make somebody the
- 3:57president of Harvard. But it was just public pressure and donor saying they wouldn't
- 4:01give any more money that forced this. They probably still don't have any problem
- 4:06with her at all, and the next person that they make president of Harvard
- 4:11is going to be just as bad because they're rotten. Academia, especially the
- 4:15IVY leagues, is deep, and the pressure to conform to woke orthodoxy is
- 4:20very strong. And as for the next president of Harvard, I'm putting my
- 4:25money on wheelchair Black Santa. I guess just don't ask him any questions about
- 4:30Israel anyway. That's all I gotta say about that. Please subscribe, like
