The Ivy League Flunks Out

He's right though. Threatening a police officer with discipline because he calls a woman "she" or "her"? Get a grip.

Imagine getting angry enough to be against diversity, equity and inclusion because someone asked you to say "they" instead of "she" or "he". Talk about get a grip.

I think what got to Cop at Lynah was the threat of being punished for an innocent mistake, that (to him) was trivial.

nobody, and i mean *nobody* has ever gotten canned over an innocent mistake. stop listening to morons, it makes you dumber and more afraid.

I'm so glad we never get into politics on eLynah. :-(

JSiD is a crapshoot.

These are extremely well chosen words.

I said "punished" not "canned."  And HIS point of view.  So is it your testimony, sir, that in the long history of medical malpractice, employment, and other civil verdicts, NO ONE has ever been punished for an innocent mistake?

Tim, with all due respect, shut the fuck up. if you plan to be this stupid out loud in the future.

She could have said "freedom of expression means what it says, asshole" and walked out.  But she equivocated like every mealy-mouthed corporate-academic President or Provost of the last 30 years would, and she wrote her own death sentence.  

Good riddance.

I like Martha Pollack's written response when asked by some members of Congress to make clear Cornell's policies on genocide. "Genocide is abhorrent, and Cornell condemns calls for the genocide of any people. An explicit call for genocide, to kill all members of a group of people, would be a violation of our policies." Fittingly succinct, nothing about "context."  Of course, she might have added "Fuck you, assholes!" for emphasis.

Now, former Cornell trustee, Jon Lindseth '56, is calling for the ouster of President Pollack and Provost Kotlikoff.  Cornell Sun article

Cornell Board - "Stick it in your ear, Jon!" Good for them!
