Michael Grazier: So he says.
Jedediah Tucker Ward: So he says under oath.
Class Action 1991
There are three reasons why we should not be surprised at either the testimony of these “ladies” who are running elite colleges concerning calling for the genocide of Jews
or the sudden volte face when no longer under oath from Penn
and Harvard
Let’s take them in Order
1. Under Oath
You see when under oath you are in a position that there are sanctions for lying so as long as they were under oath they didn’t want to assert something that would have been provably false. Particularly with GOP representatives ready to call them out on it.
But once they were no longer under oath, they could make any assertion they wanted without fear of the law.
2. Support for Antifa & BLM
The second reason is less legalistic. At colleges all over the country we have seen people support and even join in on the looting and torching of American cities since 2018. We have seen such actions defended and even promoted by groups on campus with facility and administration giving very public support to such things.
Given those facts how could they credibly claim that such statements are violations the policies of their universities.
3. He Who Pays the Piper Calls the Tune:
The third reason is a bit more mercenary and can be summarized in one word: CASH:
Over 200 US universities including elite institutions Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been accused of raking in $13 billion in “undocumented contributions from foreign governments,” according to a new report.
A sizable portion of the funds were said to be donated from authoritarian regimes around the globe including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, China and the UAE, the report from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) claimed.
Furthermore consider this:
I’ll say this for these universities, when someone buys them they stay bought.
4. No Enemies on the Left
Finally let’s look at a simple reality.
If I walked onto the campus of Harvard, or MIT, or Penn or frankly almost any university in Massachusetts and sat down to pray my Rosary with a sign next to me that said:
- There are two genders
- Transgenderism is a form of mental illness
- Marriage is between a man and a woman
I would likely at best be escorted forcibly off campus and at worst surrounded and attacked by a raging mob of leftists with no consideration of my 1st Amendment rights. After all I’m a conservative Catholic who actually believes
But the reality is that those people who are screaming “From the River to the Sea” and calling for the death of Jews are reliable votes for Democrats and for all the failings of modern Universities they can do the Ghastly Tom Hagen Math:
Right now the left has the Gays and the Transgenders and the Hollywood elites & media in which they are overrepresented and they figure that’s the best things to have, but in America Islam is a thing of the future. In 20 years the children of Muslims now being raised on the tenets of Sharia law in America will be old enough to vote and Democrats going to make sure they get those votes when the time come, not now but 10-20 years from now.
It’s only been seven years since I wrote those words but they are certainly coming true.
Frankly if they wanted to deflect the question all they would have had to say, is something like:
“While I and the university find such speech horrific as long as it’s just speech it’s not actionable under the Constitution. The first amendment doesn’t have an exception for ‘evil'”.
Alas for them, such a statement would be the source of many lawsuits for all those who have been cancelled, fired and harassed over the last few years for having mainstream conservative opinions.
The left never expels useful idiots until their usefulness is over.
