What if genocide of black people was being called for? Would the significance of that depend on context?

[buffymcmuffin]

imagine this hypothetical exchange:
Q. A student calls for genocide against gay people, will they be disciplined?
A. Yes.
Q. And if a student calls for genocide against Black people?
A. Absolutely!
Q. If a student calls for the genocide of Jewish people?
A. Depends on the context.

Context?! Are you fucking kidding me?!?!

[nathelondon]

OMG. Did she really say that. She should be fired never mind resign. It's absolutely unbelievable that the President of Harvard is talking like that. Is Qatar paying her wages?

[Missmambo]

What on earth is she saying??? There is no context in calling for genocide of Jews. This woman isn’t safe around young minds and she should be arrested for hate.

[mikelee]

If you cant say that calling for genocide doesnt violate the code of conduct your an insane person

“I would rather be governed by the first 2, 000 people in the Boston telephone directory than by the 2, 000 people on the faculty of Harvard University.” Once said by a famous conservative thinker. Even more true today.

Isn't Harvard a bit morally compromised now? First their racially discriminatory admissions policies and now this? I thought they were supposed to be one of the best universities in America!

[skipfluck]

I wonder what was the deciding factor, to make this woman the President of Harvard?🤔

[davidleo]

I didn’t realize how worthless a Harvard degree was until I watched this.

"Genocide of Jews is okay in some contexts" - Harvard head.

[deutschchad]

This is what “woke” ideology gets you folks.

[socalskateratz]

Great job calling her out Rep. Stefanik! 👏🏻

[Notwoke]

Look at the guy behind the professor nodding his head at each word just like they rehearsed!

[TruthC]

That thing is the president of Harvard 🤣🤣🤣
No wonder that school is falling apart

[janwest]

When all they do is equivocate they show their true colors. Let’s get back to absolutes.

[KrashTWazo]

She knows exactly that her answers are dehumanizing the Jewish students…

[Nancy-jfzk]

Why do the Senate and House of Representatives have to ask a direct question but the one it is directed to wallow in mud before giving an answer????

[jocelynferreras]

She cannot understand yes or no....if you talk a child like it will answer yes
