I would guess that if she answered truthfully Rep. Stefanik's questions, Harvard might think they could face a class action suit by Jewish students at Harvard. It's a bit like the testimony of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who danced around the definition of a "woman". For her to answer truthfully would potentially render her unable to rule on a transgender or other suit brought before the Supreme Court in the future.

[@NinoNiemanThe1st]

Because some questions are so vague or complex, that an answer cannot be made with a simplistic 'yes' or 'no' without more information. The best response to them is "it depends, it could be yes or no depending on the context". It ain't hard to understand for anyone with half a brain.

Maybe you should take more than a second to study up on the First Amendment and Supreme Court cases that set the boundaries for free speech, rather than making ignorant statements. In the Supreme Court case of Brandenburg v. Ohio, the Court overturned the conviction of a KKK leader who at a KKK rally called for violence against blacks and Jews. The Supreme Court held that the government cannot punish inflammatory speech unless that speech is "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action". President Gay was correct as she attempted to answer, but the rude Stefanik kept interrupting her. Stefanik was just grandstanding, trying to score points with gotcha yes or no questions, not allowing Gay to make her point. If I was sitting there with Stefanik badgering me, I would have told her to F off, and left the room.

That is exactly the point. Or would she allow a mob to march calling for the death of black women such as herself and maybe her children and family? Would that be an OK free speech march on campus? Someone maybe should give it a try. All in the name of research of course.

BS!!! There is no such thing as hate speech. Not in a country where you have free speech. Speech that you don't agree with is the definition of free speech.

I am German. Our history teachers at school did their utmost to educate us about the holocaust: NEVER AGAIN!

Its inconceivable that such clearly anti-Jewish behavior would have been tolerated.

[@lynnlindberg5595]

Even here in the US school's I attended even from middle grade school on we learned about the Holocaust and what happened to the Jews and for me and for the people everyone I went to school with we were horrified couldn't even imagine and what we learned is that we would also never want to see that happen ever again anywhere to anyone

[@MiaK06]

We were taken on a school trip to a concentration camp at age 10 / 11, so we could see at that young age what our ancestors presided over - not something one ever forgets. I live in London now after many yrs in New York - some of the antisemitic lingo here will equally make one feel ashamed. All three of these Presidents need to go. And they are prob not the only universities from what one reads where similar antisemitism is rampant. Free speech is one thing but this is not about free speech - these Presidents have a moral and ethical obligation to educate and guide what are meant to be future leaders and senior executives. Not a single one of them is qualified but was presumably hired to ensure that diversity boxes were ticked at the expense of being qualified leaders with a profound sense of morality
