Free speech is power and with that power comes responsibility…

[Badolado]

As a German i'm extremly disgusted that what happened in my country is happening again, if Americans doesn't save America now it will be to late 😢

I have been a college history professor for over 25 years. I have seen it all from the inside. College have heavily promoted antisemitism through a number of speakers and programs. It is about time they are held accountable.

[jazzy]

using an undesired pronoun will get you suspended - but threatening genocide does not - what an upside down world!

[Vindicta]

I’m honestly ashamed of what America what has become. We literally fought a world war against these ideals and now they’re here at home? This is insanity.

[canoebelue]

What an embarrassment to America these college presidents are...

[tiongcomonico]

Is this the kind of deans and school leaders America have? Shameful!

[chattsignal]

I’ve never been more proud of my A.S. degree from community college, where we all got along, where we studied together regardless of our differences, and where we were supported by our teachers as long as we did the work. ☮️

2:41:03 Unacceptable that that Dr. Gay is lying and refuses to answer from congress. She is a shame and should be sued

[grace]

Sadly, at the zenith of her academic and professional journey, an African-American woman overlooks the movements and principles that paved the way for her current standing, forsaking essential values such as morality, decency, and common sense. It is disheartening that the legacy she leaves implies the acceptability of racism, discrimination, hate speech, and vitriol. Claudine Gay, it should not be so hard to condemn antisemitism.

Universities in the US have lost their moral compass

[xwybliq]

Harvard become just another low class university - I wouldn’t send my kids there even if they give us free tuition

[Raphael-fllm]

It is so hard and painful to believe that this is now the US top high school answers. Either they support this or they are afraid.

[matrox]

How TF did this women get this position at Harvard??

[TheBrownBebe]

The smiles on their faces and their rehearsed responses is very disappointing - I cannot believe they couldn’t even admit they did the wrong thing

[MegaChacha]

This is unbelievable. Hatred of Jews at these universities, like in many other areas of society is so widespread it is sickening.

[neshiko]

Last time I checked calling for genocide of one people was called hate speech n leading to the holocaust. But what should a German know about enablers and bystanders of genocide?!

[thunkjunk]

05:04:19 For those of you not patient enough to get this far...watch...The statement itself IS the context.

[EMSEMS]

Harvard used to be the gold standard. No more!

[dekrev]

The smile on Mcgills face from Penn when asked if calling for the genocide of Jews… - spooky
