Claudine Gay Gives Tearful Resignation Speech Entitled ‘Gettysburg Address’

Via The Babylon Bee

CAMBRIDGE, MA — After facing weeks of pressure to resign following scandals involving campus antisemitism and plagiarism, Claudine Gay has announced she will step down as Harvard’s President. She delivered her remarks this morning in a tearful speech entitled “Gettysburg Address.”

“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal,” began Gay to a crowd of tearful diversity studies students. “Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war.”

“I don’t really know what these words have to do with her resignation, but the words are so beautiful!” said one 4th-year student who attended the speech. “It’s a tragedy to lose such a gifted writer and orator.”

Sources say the crowd was moved to tears by the time the speech concluded. “I have concluded that because of the Watergate matter I might not have the support of the Congress that I would consider necessary to back the very difficult decisions and carry out the duties of this office in the way the interests of the nation would require,” she concluded. “Therefore, I shall resign from the presidency effective noon tomorrow.”

At publishing time, Harvard confirmed they were already interviewing several other communist black women to replace Gay.

Et tu, CBS?….

Self-congratulatory statement on Claudine Gay’s resignation shows Harvard is clueless

CAMBRIDGE – “These past several months have seen Harvard and higher education face a series of sustained and unprecedented challenges,” reads the statement on President Claudine Gay’s resignation from the Corporation, the university’s ruling body. “In the face of escalating controversy and conflict, President Gay and the Fellows have sought to be guided by the best interests of the institution whose future progress and well-being we are together committed to uphold.”…

This self-congratulatory word salad perfectly expresses the cluelessness with which Harvard has been navigating the “storm” – professing a commitment to “excellence” while tolerating widespread grade-inflation; promoting “inclusiveness, free inquiry and expression” when a national study of free speech climates on campus rated Harvard dead last among 254 schools; and “pursuing truth” when the backlash over recent events has been all about the university’s refusal to accept the truth of its own negligence in policing campus bullying and applying scholarship standards to its own president.

That they managed not to mention “Climate Change” anywhere in the statement is a miracle in itself.

This is what happens when the Ivy League hire’s people based on DEI “feelings”…what a prize, a gay, black female with a degree. My bet, she was an average IQ who cheated her way through college on scholarships and then got on the diversity hire gravy train…

But Gay isn’t gay. She’s married to a guy named Christopher Afendulis; they have a son.

Doctor Christopher Afendulis, of course, is “senior research analyst and lecturer at Stanford University’s Department of Health Research and Policy.” Also a Haavud grad (’97). And, allegedly, a Christian, just like his wife.

Here, for your perusal, I present to you a test in physiognomy:

Never ever buy any products from coalburner websites/ commercials/companies.
There should be no mix between nigs and Whites in teevee commercials for any company that wants to exist.

When you hire negroes soley because they are negroes, you get Africa.

Harvard knew this and did it anyway.
John Harvard would be rightly appalled.

What is sad, is that niggers actually think that faking it is how whites accomplish things.
So they literally do not see what they did wrong.
They could fuck around with the city water supply during a wildfire and literally get 10,000 adults and kids incinerated, and still not grasp the magnitude of their colossal incompetence.

A diversity hire could spend all the power pole replacement budget on expensive restaurants and night clubs, and not grasp how this misappropriation of resources cost thousands of lives and destroyed tens of millions worth of property.

A diversity fire department filled with skin color box checkers instead if highly trained firemen can only lead to catastrophe.

Diversity is an energy weapon.

Meanwhile, after an extensive search, it was determined that 66.2% of Herr/Madam Gay’s resignation speech was plagiarized from other sources.

Holy phuck, I can’t even imagine waking up next to that in my worst alien nightmare……

No problem. She is bouncing back with a book deal, but not about her storied career.

She calls her new book a historical novel tracing the life and tribulations of a family, beginning with the creation of the world when just two of them lived in a garden. It is cleverly stylized in king James English.
