RIP #PeteRose,its a travesty you never got to have your day at the #HallOfFame. It’s time to make that right. Do the right thing #MLB and #HallOfFame and make Pete Rose immortal - albeit it’s not really your decision now. He will always be one of the best and a legend forever.
Never underestimate the ability for even those seemly more educated in society to underwhelm and disappoint. There is shame and disgrace littered in each of these answers and would be equally disgusting had you replaced the word “Jews” with any other ethnic race. Pitiful.
The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:
Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?
The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.
Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.
In short, they said:
It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.
This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is:
“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group”
The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership.
Don’t take my word for it.
You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am.
They must all resign in disgrace.
If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.
Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?
Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.
To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.
On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing.
It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate.
If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.
@Barbarian_gent @GodPenuel As @GodPenuel describes so eloquently , that success is very narrow in its outreach. The DA no doubt is successfully running an enclave in South Africa which caters for the middle, upper middle and upper classes of society. Sadly these are still fairly well delineated on race.
Racist fuck heads in @LaLiga need to step off and leave @vinijr alone. What happened today is disgusting and @valenciacf should be ashamed of their home fans. Get it together people, it’s a game played by young men and this is too much.
Ok so I need to concede to the fact that Messi is in fact better than Ronaldo. I say this on the basis of achievement amongst others. The Portuguese United fan in me is super conflicted but it’s time to concede. The last few months underlined it all for me. #ArgentinaVsCroatia
