Yale Revokes Student Organization Designation of Anti-Israel Group After ‘Disturbing Anti-Semitic Conduct’ at Protest

/0 Comments/in , /by

Yale College announced on Wednesday that an anti-Israel student group would lose their rights as a registered student organization over “disturbing anti-Semitic” actions at a protest Tuesday evening.

The Yalies4Palestine group had met with college officials and had been warned about violating their conduct rules, but the protest led to officials taking action.

The protest at Beinecke Plaza lasted only about four hours, beginning at 8 p.m., and the Yalies4Palestine denied having any part of it, but a press release from the college cited social media posts taking credit for the demonstration.

“Repost! Share! Join the students!” read one post with video of students erecting tents, while another read, “HAPPENING NOW YALE STUDENTS RELAUNCH ENCAMPMENTS.” Another video showed protesters not allowing Jewish students to access college buildings.

Without official student group registration, the group won’t be able to reserve spaces at Yale, participate in the student activities bazaar, or request Yale funding.

Yale Professor: “Mandatory Euthanasia” Will Be on the Table

/0 Comments/in , /by

I hadn’t actually run across this character before so I thought perhaps some of our readers might not have had him on their radar either. His name is Yusuke Narita and he’s a professor of economics at Yale with a very large social media following in both the United States and his native Japan. But his theories on debt, inflation or interest rates aren’t what draw so much attention. Though his specialty is supposed to be economics, Dr. Narita seems to spend a great deal of time pondering the issue of falling birth rates and increasing life spans, particularly in Japan. And he seems to believe that he knows the answer. That would be “mass suicide and mass seppuku of the elderly.” And he talks about it a lot. This guy is so far out there on the fringe of this topic that even the very liberal New York Times described him by saying “his pronouncements could hardly sound more drastic.”

In interviews and public appearances, Yusuke Narita, an assistant professor of economics at Yale, has taken on the question of how to deal with the burdens of Japan’s rapidly aging society.

“I feel like the only solution is pretty clear,” he said during one online news program in late 2021. “In the end, isn’t it mass suicide and mass ‘seppuku’ of the elderly?” Seppuku is an act of ritual disembowelment that was a code among dishonored samurai in the 19th century.

Last year, when asked by a school-age boy to elaborate on his mass seppuku theories, Dr. Narita graphically described to a group of assembled students a scene from “Midsommar,” a 2019 horror film in which a Swedish cult sends one of its oldest members to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff.

In another interview, Narita suggested there might be an alternative for those without the will to take their own life. That would be euthanasia. And if the elderly person in question is still being stubborn? No problem. “The possibility of making [euthanasia] mandatory in the future will come up in discussion.” (Read more from “Yale Professor: “Mandatory Euthanasia” Will Be on the Table” HERE)

Shrink Who Talked About Shooting White People Now Says They Are ‘Psychopathic’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The New York City psychiatrist who stunned a Yale School of Medicine audience in April when she revealed her fantasies of “unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way” characterized white people as “psychopathic” Thursday in an interview with disgraced former CNN pundit Marc Lamont Hill.

Dr. Aruna Khilanani — who also revealed in her talk at Yale’s Child Study Center April 6 that white people “make my blood boil” and “are out of their minds and have been for a long time” — joined Hill on the fledgling Black News Channel’s prime-time program “Black News Tonight” to discuss her shocking statements.

“Would it be fair to say, based on your expertise, that white people are psychopathic?” Hill asked Khilanani at one point.

“I think so, yeah,” Khilanani answered. “I think that there’s many lies … the level of lying that white people do that has started since colonialism, we’re just used to it.” (Read more from “Shrink Who Talked About Shooting White People Now Says They Are ‘Psychopathic’” HERE)

University Lecturer Details Fantasizing About Brutally Murdering White People

/0 Comments/in , /by

Yale University, one of America’s most elite institutions, hosted a racist lecturer who expressed deep-seated animus against white people.

In an official lecture called “The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind,” given by Aruna Khilanani at the Yale School of Medicine’s Department of Child Study Center, Khilanani graphically described her fantasy about killing and burying white people, saying, “I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the heads of any white person that got in my way, burying their body, and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step. Like I did the world a f**king favor.”

When The Federalist inquired about this comment, Khilanani responded, saying “You are having a psychoanalyst talk about fantasy in relationship to writing. Everyone has fantasies, dreams. nightmares. Not being in contact with your unconscious is what causes problems. In order to fully understand what I am saying, Yale would have to release the full video.” . . .

The audio, which can be found here, includes a number of racially charged remarks directed at white people, including, “White people are out of their minds and they have been for a long time,” as well as, “We keep forgetting that directly talking about race is a waste of our breath. We are asking a demented, violent predator who thinks that they are a saint or a superhero, to accept responsibility. It ain’t gonna happen. They have five holes in their brain. It’s like banging your head against a brick wall.” (Read more from “University Lecturer Details Fantasizing About Brutally Murdering White People” HERE)

‘Cancel Culture’ Gets Hilariously Mocked Over University’s Connection to Infamous Slave Trader

/0 Comments/in , /by

Cancel culture, the practice of publicly shaming people and organizations — often resulting in an individual losing their job or a business losing customers — for saying or doing something objectionable, has been amplified in recent weeks as racial unrest took over the country in the wake of George Floyd’s tragic death. . .

Conservative pundit Jesse Kelly triggered a wave of “#CancelYale” momentum over the weekend after observing that Elihu Yale, the man for whom Yale University is named, was a notorious slave trader.

“Yale University was named for Elihu Yale. Not just a man who had slaves. An actual slave trader. I call on @Yale to change it’s name immediately and strip the name of Yale from every building, piece of paper, and merchandise. Otherwise, they hate black people,” Kelly tweeted, along with the hashtag “#CancelYale.”

In another tweet, Kelly mocked, “I’m ok with arresting Yale faculty and alumni, but I think they all should be allowed to buy their way out of prison with reparation payments. Let’s end Yale’s vicious cycle of keeping other human beings in captivity. #CancelYale.”

WATCH: Yale Professor Turns Against Darwinism, Warns Darwinians ‘Will Destroy You If You Challenge’ the Theory

/0 Comments/in , , /by

David Gelernter, prominent writer and Yale University professor, believes it’s high time for people to drop Charles Darwin’s outdated theory of evolution. . .

Gelernter, who has been a proponent of Darwinism since childhood, argued that the longstanding theory of evolution simply doesn’t give a thorough enough explanation of, perhaps, the most important component of modern science: the actual origin of species. . .

He pointed out that the concept of intelligent design is not necessarily his favorite theory, but insists that it is an “absolutely serious argument,” pointing out that the theory is the very “first, and obviously most intuitive that comes to mind.” . . .

“I have to distinguish between the way I’ve been treated personally, which has been a very courteous and collegial way by my colleagues at Yale, they’re nice guys and I like them, they’re my friends,” he said in June remarks. “On the other hand, when I look at their intellectual behavior, what they publish, and, much more important, what they tell their students, Darwinism has indeed passed beyond a scientific argument.” . . .

“[I haven’t seen anything] approaching free speech on this topic,” Gelernter admitted. “It’s a bitter rejection, not just — a sort of bitter, fundamental, angry, outraged, violent rejection, which comes nowhere near scientific of intellectual discussion. I’ve seen that happen again and again. ‘I’m a Darwinist, don’t you say a word against it, or, I don’t wanna hear it, period.'”

He Was Found Not Guilty in Court of Sexual Assault. His School Still Expelled Him.

/0 Comments/in , /by

A male student accused of sexually assaulting a drunk female student was found not guilty in a court of law, but that didn’t stop his university from expelling him over the same accusation. The move was expected, as colleges and universities use a lower standard of proof for determining whether a sexual assault occurred — a standard that routinely ends with poorly trained administrators taking an accuser’s word over evidence.

Saifullah Khan, an immigrant who grew up in an Afghanistan refugee camp, won a full scholarship to Yale University. He would later be accused of sexually assaulting a female classmate in 2015 — an accusation that, in a rarity for campus accusations, actually resulted in a criminal trial. During that criminal trial, Khan was found not guilty, based on video evidence that showed him and his accuser walking arm-in-arm and smiling, as well as key-card evidence that supported his story that the woman invited him back to her dorm after he left, and then asked him to check on her friend who was actually too drunk.

Activists, working on emotion and not evidence, concluded that the system failed (because women, we’re told, never lie about sexual assault), and demanded Yale expel Khan anyway, ignoring the evidence in his favor.

Despite being found not guilty in a court of law, Khan still had to go through a campus tribunal, where he was not granted full due process rights (Yale is a private university and has more leeway in denying constitutional rights to students). In early October 2018, Khan was accused of sexual assault by a non-student who had previously acted as public relations consultant* for the Yale student (this young male accuser was previously the victim of a false accusation). Yale immediately suspended Khan after this new accusation. His attorney, Norm Pattis, posted on his blog that Washington, D.C. police — who investigated the accusation because that’s where the alleged assault occurred — closed the case without charging Khan. Yale, according to Pattis, “did not intend to call his accuser in Washington, D.C., concluding the young man lacked credibility.” . . .

This was November 2018. On Jan. 2, 2019, Yale expelled Khan for the allegation against him from 2015, for which he was found not guilty in the justice system. This made the hearing on the second accusation against him moot, according to his attorney. So, how was Khan found responsible for sexual assault by the school when a court found him not guilty? Pattis lays it out on his blog about the case, writing, “Mr. Khan was afforded due process at his criminal trial, but deprived a meaningful right to defend himself at the university’s tribunal.” (Read more from “He Was Found Not Guilty in Court of Sexual Assault.

Asian Yale Dean Makes “White Trash” Comment, Forced to Step Down

/0 Comments/in , /by

June Chu, who came under fire earlier in 2017 for using disparaging terms like “white trash” in Yelp reviews, has left Yale University.

“Dean Chu has left her position at Pierson College and wishes the best to the students,” Pierson College administrative head Stephen Davis wrote in an email to students. “As a result, I am initiating the process of the search for a new dean, who will be in place before the start of the fall term” . . .

Chu had been placed on leave by Yale towards the end of May over disparaging remarks she made on Yelp towards local establishments surrounding New Haven, Connecticut, where the university is located.

“This establishment is definitely not authentic by any stretch of any imagination and perfect for those low-class folks who believe this is a real night out,” Chu wrote in one post. In another review, Chu wrote that the restaurant was perfect for anyone who was “white trash.”

“Let me be clear,” she wrote. “No one, especially those in trusted positions of educating young people, should denigrate or stereotype others, and that extends to any form of discrimination based on class, race, religion, age, disability, gender identity or sexual orientation.” (Read more from “Asian Yale Dean Makes “White Trash” Comment, Forced to Step Down” HERE)

Yale Fail: Ivy Leaguers Sign ‘Petition’ to Repeal First Amendment [+video]

/3 Comments/in , /by

Trigger warning! This story and video may be unsuitable viewing for the “safe space” crowd.

Looking to understand just how controversial the debate over free speech on our college campuses really is, filmmaker and satirist Ami Horowitz recently traveled to Yale University, one of our nation’s most prestigious institutions of higher learning, to speak directly to students.

“I decided to take this campus free speech debate to its logical conclusion,” said Horowitz, who asked students if they’d sign a petition calling for an outright repeal of the First Amendment. “The result was this unbelievable display of total stupidity.”

Yale Couple Flees Classroom amid Free Speech Chill

/0 Comments/in , /by

Anti-free speech demonstrators at one of America’s most vaunted universities have claimed a pair of scalps – a husband-wife duo who say teaching is too much trouble in a campus climate “not conducive to civil dialogue.”

Yale University professors Nicholas and Erika Christakis, who both have always gotten overwhelmingly positive reviews from students, said they have had enough, after an email she sent sparked a campus-wide controversy that soon pulled him in.

“I have great respect and affection for my students, but I worry that the current climate at Yale is not, in my view, conducive to the civil dialogue and open inquiry required to solve our urgent societal problems,” she said in an email to The Washington Post.

The affair began in October, when Erika Christakis, a psychology professor and associate master at the school’s Silliman College, one of a dozen residential communities, sent out an email defending the right of students to wear costumes which may be “culturally appropriating.” That spurred outrage and led to one student confronting Nicholas Christakis on the campus quad and berating him in a shocking episode that was caught on video that soon went viral.

The video showed Nicholas Christakis, a physician and professor of social and natural science, calmly trying to reason with a student who was screaming at him for not keeping students “safe,” as others snapped their fingers in a trendy sign of approval.
