Harvard President Won’t Punish Students Over Anti-Israel Letter
“We do not punish or sanction people for expressing such views, but that is a far cry from endorsing them.”
Harvard recently got a grade of zero on free speech, but now they’re suddenly concerned about this issue. It’s a good thing these students didn’t misgender someone.
The New York Post reports:
Harvard president Claudine Gay refuses to punish students behind anti-Israel letter
Harvard president Claudine Gay pushed back on attempts to name students who signed a letter blaming Israel for the massacres committed by Hamas amid mounting criticism of her handling of the crisis.
Gay said the Ivy League school “embraces a commitment to free expression” in a video released Thursday night — her latest attempt to quell outrage from famous Harvard alumni including former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman.
“That commitment extends even to views that many of us find objectionable, even outrageous,” Gay said.
“We do not punish or sanction people for expressing such views, but that is a far cry from endorsing them.”
Gay, who again condemned the “barbaric atrocities perpetrated by Hamas,” did not specifically mention the more than 30 student organizations that co-signed a statement Saturday by the school’s Palestine Solidarity Committee.
“We can fan the flames of division and hatred that are roiling the world,” Gay said in the clip. “Or we can try to be a force for something different and better.”
The video is the third time that Gay has attached her name to an official statement since Hamas staged its surprise assault on Israeli towns and military bases in the early hours last Saturday — killing more than 1,200 people, wounding thousands, and taking scores as hostages.

Not a problem the school should handle.
I hope the Billionaire follows through and published the list of their names.
Someone who believes ‘Colonizer’s’ and their children are fair game to Rape and Murder should be known.
If they believe that I look like a ‘Colonizer’ I should I should know before they serve my children food and drink, teach in their schools, work in the water plant or in my office.
Or even “work watering the plants in your office.”
I really need another eye exam.
“We do not punish or sanction people for expressing such views, but that is a far cry from endorsing them.”
Tell it to Steven Pinkner, Carole Hooven, Roland Fryer, or Kevin Kit Parker, you hypocrite.
Harvard is woke trash dumpster fire.
Harvard is basically telling Jews that it doesn’t want them.
Yet again.
After conducting daily field experiments for months, I can confirm that no Cambridge Mass hooker has less integrity than this woman.
To wit, I found that even the most desperately addicted whores , with the most foul venereal diseases … had limits as to what they’d say or do for money. Not so with this president of Harvard.
It would seem apparent that the enemies of America have completed their takeover of academia. If you have any self respect you’ll accept reality and move on. You still have many options.
Certainly if you’re bright enough to apply to Harvard, you’re bright enough to attend college in a halfway sane country. In their language.
