Why Did Harvard University Go After One of Its Best Black Professors?

[@joeybulford5266]

This explains why the media was SO desperate to blame racism for Claudine stepping down. She was one of their own, and they wanted to protect her.

[@soundlycreative]

By the time I met Roland (jr in high school), he was excelling in high school and the Texas DECA club president. I attended several conferences and seminars with Roland, and he was always on point. Extremely intelligent, and had a vision beyond any of us high school kids. I was sad to hear about his challenges, but exited and in awe of his achievements. Go Ro!!!!

Academia is so disappointing. As someone with a professional degree, who excelled i university, won awards, scholarships, its simply amazing to me at how stupid so much of it is today.

[@stringX90]

Agreed. I also excelled in academics and graduated with 2 degrees, but am coming to the realization of how corrupt and immediate academia is

Engineering wasn't very woke at all, many people faked it when required then got back to work.

[@freeinghumanitynow]

There's a big difference between being educated and being intelligent.

[@stp479]

Claudine Gay would like a word.....to copy. I mean borrow, no, no, paraphrase. Yeah, that's the ticket! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6Oyf4qIltt2mZo

[@Babesinthewood97]

@@Apistevistyes maybe because engineering actually requires intelligence. You cannot get away with stupidity.

Congratulations on making this film & for your tremendous and completely rare honesty 👏!!

[@Individual_Lives_Matter]

The ivy leagues were the first to adopt wokeism, so it makes sense to show its deleterious effects in those schools.

[@nmk5003]

I am not sure what the complaint is here, last checked Dr. Fryer is currently a professor at Harvard. I am also quite sure that intellectual disagreement is normal at universities.

"...that implied rule that we're not allowed to talk about that? Fuck that rule." I totally love Rob Montz!

[@goldenvulture6818]

When someone calls whoever a progressive they are saying that person is an elitist. When someone calls themself a progressive they're saying I'm an elitist.

[@janetoliver9561]

We need more of this and fast!

[@mchelseama]

Please cover Francesca Gino! HBS tenured professor who had her tenure revoked 2023 while Gay was still Harvard U president and under investigation herself! Lawsuit in progress.

[@moodrahkamite818]

As soon as he said fuck those rules, in regard to what "we're" not supposed to talk about. I was all in.

[@dcxxxx]

Note: Not one of it's best professors, one of it's best BLACK professors.

[@voxpathfinder15r]

Wow a year later, talk about foreshadowing. Kudos for the republicans for taking Claudine Gay down!

[@garyweglarz]

And so it turns out Claudine Gay was on the committee that sanctioned Professor Fryer - bringing the concept of - 'karma' to mind regarding Ms. Gay's current "issues."

[@eeddieedwards3890]

Don't say "Gay"... oh wait....

[@travisnunya7960]

That's an interesting title, like being black automatically absolves one from getting reprimanded. On a separate note, I stand with him..but far lef ters really do put one race up on a pedestal and tear the other down..repeatedly

[@maxroberts7393]

Look at what happened. Academic politicians and ideologically driven types go after a prof who presents new ideas and shows facts anyone else could independently find that would support that prof's conclusions. This threatens the daylights out of profs like Gay, then Dean Gay, then President Gay and now back to Prof Gay and profs like Bobo. Anyone listening heard repeated warnings that such developments were coming. Then suddenly it is here. Are such ideologically driven a majority. They needn't be a majority so long as enough of them work in concert and also intimidate the non ideologically driven. What next? The pendulum swings and righti extremist ideologically types take over.

[@maEde-d1i]

Shame on Harvard

[@megankwisdom]

Documentary sounds interesting! I haven't listened to the full episode yet but I didn't see a link for the doc in the description. Is there a website? When/where is it coming out?

Jonathan, I got the same scratchy voice after Omicron, it will return to normal eventually.

She’s a victim of DEI.

Harvard is surviving on reputation. It is prestigious to attend Harvard. Whether you learn anything is another issue; some do and some don't. Harvard is a gift from their parents and a delightful heady experience in intoxicating academia; a fanciful four years of drinking and dreaming. Because Harvard is no longer about education but rather social issues, they can let professors come and go at will. Keep in mind that Harvard is a liberal (and probably progressive) institution it will applaud the damage that progressive ideation has done and is doing to our society. The glorious bastions of San Francisco and Vancouver and Chicago and New York and Baltimore all needed reworking to contemporary values (according to Harvard). Education and societal values needed adjusting to propel America to a modern nation rooted in equity. So as we experience (suffer under) the magnificence of Harvard's Progressive transformative control we should exult in the magic that the academics and revolutionaries have visited upon us. Phooey. We are a magnificent and productive society with a great constitution and will hopefully live to piss on their grave.

[@mchelseama]

Sorry, but I have to offer a different perspective. My background is working class, and I was "lucky" enough to get into one of its graduate schools with a generous grant, with minimal loans. I had a B.A. from a very challenging undergraduate institution, but got solid grades and worked hard. I met a few genuinely brilliant students at Harvard, but I met a lot of smarmy, cutthroat grad students, many privileged of ALL ETHNICITIES, who did whatever it took to get ahead. Wherever there are brilliant people, there are grifters all around. And many are never detected.

What about Army wax University of Pennsylvania her educational hearing at Pennsylvania State ?

[@steeleheroesmedia4699]

My production company also specializes in producing content for orgs and people who are either not understood or deliberately mis-represented by mainstream media. I can attest to the oddness and ironies of this universe. I have seen events in person that later were reported by MSM as entirely OTHER events. MSM: “no black people or women in attendance at ‘fascist’ event.” Me: literally seeing LOTS of black people (myself included) and women in attendance AND as speakers at the event. The event was “family focussed” and was addressing the failure of the public school system to educate all children and especially black children. Taking pictures and video of them.

[@Agent77X]

Claudine Gay took Roland out big time!😂

[@freemanz4051]

ONLY ONE? And you know this, how?

[@ucctgg]

One of the best professors, or one of the bEST black PROFESSORS

[@pauljack7170]

best b profesor hahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😱

[@JCB171]

Because Claudine Gay?

[@treesart6914]

It's interesting that Fryer fired an enormous amount school teachers for 'mediocrity' and that's supposedly great, but when he himself gets demoted for consistent sexual talk in the workplace to a.o. grad students, it's supposedly a terrible injustice. Star scientists get to talk dirty around students then?

[@sciencegirl2239]

You guys are always applying a double standard. Gay gets promoted at Harvard and it was because of DEI. Fryer who you like gets categorized as 8th in the world and there was no affirmative action in that decision

[@michaelwalker3935]

I spent the summer of 1998 at UT Austin attending the American Economic Association graduate school preparation boot camp. Roland also attended. All i can say i trust him about as far as i can throw him. His impression on me was that he was an arrogant immature pathological liar. Someone very eager to play the race card. Let me rephrase; eager to create a race game. One that he creates the rules and decides the outcomes.

[@helenbarrett6451]

Cause propaganda tool.

[@DrTWG]

Wow ! I started smelling _some_ bullshit quite early on . Not convinced about Montz' story really - it all raised a *lot* of questions . And this Prof was making ribald/inappropriate (apparently normal for working class !!) comments in front of other staff ? - which seems particularly stupid & certainly doesn't need to bother any free speech advocates . Montz is wowed by prizes and money it appears and obviously put this don on a pedestal . As for his school experiment - so , after radical surgery so to speak , a cohort upped in maths . It hardly seemed pragmatic or scalable even putting aside the damage . No need to extrapolate my points BTW .

[@dinkster1729]

Bright minds think lots of odd things and some of their owners have no filter and voice what their thoughts. Should their labs be closed? Should it be recommended that they lose their tenure? . . . I think most of us know that a lot of teachers know nothing about math really. Should they be fired or re-educated?

[@axiomsofspacecadetsoniceax9347]

It's not weird...black people are on the roads of survival so we don't get alot of time to be the weird guy to see and reflect and collect the history
