    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              All those harvard employees hate Jews.

              It has been widely exposed over a few weeks now, but I continue to be surprised by this.

                  The institutions that gave us microaggressions and safe spaces now equivocate about open calls for genocide.

                        And I get the impression that they don't get it at all.

                          From the RWEC:


                          What is striking to me is how unintelligently these three academics answered Stefanik’s questions. There are actually some interesting issues here, which a smart and principled administrator could have spoken about in a compelling way. But these academic hacks had nothing insightful to say, and were just trying to get out of the hearing as fast as they could, smirking all the while. I would only add that a Harvard student who wrote that all blacks should be murdered–say, in a conservative student paper, if Harvard had one–would not have a future at that institution. There would be no discussion of “context.”

                              Is this "seizing" or "pouncing?"

                                Interesting take. A bit of a nitpick but probably correct.

                                  It would not have occurred to me that a policy against bullying and harassment would allow for calls for genocide against a certain group, while prohibiting calls for killing individual members of that group. Their premise is that that distinction is totally reasonable.

                                    I also think the tweet misses the point entirely. Yeah sure okay, that's what the hearings are about, but the problem on the table right now, the one we are and should be focusing on, isn't adherence to university harassment policies.

                                    Please love yourself.

                                      It's barely even worth making the hackneyed point that a call for the extermination of black people would not be tolerated. It's like we're ignoring the elephant in the room about double standards, and trying to make sense of this anti-semitic speech in isolation, and failing even to do that.

                                        His point is that harassment and bullying predicate interpersonal interactions.

                                        It’s definitional. It’s not some fine distinction.

                                          He goes on to make the point that an hypocrisy charge is totally appropriate.

                                          To be clear, since many people are making this point, I completely agree with @DeadLiftCapital that the university presidents can be charged with hypocrisy, but that is not the point that Stefanik or Ackman are making and is irrelevant to my argument.

                                          Only non-witches get due process.
