The Three Stooges: Ivy League Presidents

By | December 8, 2023

[December 8, 2023]  The Three Stooges, a popular slapstick comedy from 1922 to 1970, is about three guys getting into constant trouble because of their stupidity.  On Tuesday of this week, three Ivy League presidents testified in front of the U.S. Congress.  Their inept performance showed the world that they are the three stooges of this century.  Why?  They could not say that calling for the genocide of all Jews would violate their university policies.

Harvard, MIT, and UPenn’s presidents provoked nationwide condemnation because they stubbornly refused to say that the call for genocide against all Jews would violate their university policies.  There was an immediate and harsh blowback on these university presidents.  More importantly, their testimony was eye-opening to the degeneration of American Higher Education.

Who were these three stooges?

  1. Penn President Liz Magill
  2. Harvard President Claudine Gay
  3. MIT President Sally Kornluth

John Hinderaker said it best when he helped distinguish between legal free speech and acceptable behavior.

“The absurd premise here, which all three presidents implied in yesterday’s testimony, is that the universities’ policies on student conduct are congruent with the First Amendment.  That is a ridiculous idea.  University policies do not provide that students can do anything that isn’t illegal.  That applies to speech, among many other things.  If a student wrote in a student paper that all blacks deserve to be murdered, a perfectly legal assertion, he would be gone in the blink of an eye.” – John Hinderaker, PowerLineBlog

What has been revealed is that the progressive woke political biases that control these universities were unintentionally exposed.  The sane world interrupted their worldview for the moment, and the three stooges scurried for cover.  In other words, they are running from their own words.  In military circles, we call this cowardice.

This exemplifies what happens when you base your decisions on woke ideology.

    “It depends upon the context,” so said a racist, anti-Semite Ivy League president. Oh, it was actually three of them. Diversity hires, all.

      YES! And forever etched into the psyche of the American people when they realized that Ivy League school leaders have made a pact with the DEVIL. Yes, evil can be found in the heart of any man. In this case, it looks like the hearts of women (who are far more prone to evil deeds than men).

    Great job my friend. What happened with the 3 Ivy league presidents is summed up in a word. PRIDE.
    PRIDE to refuse to say i made a mistake in my reasoning for the freedom of the speech. It’s like this.
    A person in the crowded area of hundreds of people “freedom of speech “say fire 🔥 there are people running around to get out. In the madness several people are hurt. However ,that’s no fire. A person freedom to do something is not okay when it causes others to get hurt physically and mentally and emotionally.
    Proverbs 16:18-19
    Pride goeth before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.
    Proverbs is a book im in the Bible contains wisdom.

      Mr. Gilliam, great point here and one that Gen. Satterfield overlooked. Pride is the beginning of the downfall.

    Sad what our higher education institutions have become. When will the adults be put back in charge. This is what happens when diversity hires have to do something that requires moral thinking.

    OUCH, Gen. Satterfield, you were brutal. But easy on them relative to what is about to happen. I bet they’ve been losing sleep over their incompetence.

      Yeah! And I hope too that their students are doing the “I’m f’ed up shuffle.”

    Three Ivy League Presidents (UPenn, MIT, and Harvard) had an “inept performance showed the world that they are the three stooges of this century. Why? They could not say that calling for the genocide of all Jews would violate their university policies.” Gen. Satterfield, you are a beast. And I like the fact that you named names. These names will forever be on the internet as a great example of corruption.

      Nothing like it. On another note, Dave Portnoy, the founder and owner of Barstool Sports, is a social media giant, with millions of followers across various platforms. He is also a Jew, and he was outraged by the inept performance before a House committee of university presidents who couldn’t say that calling for the genocide of all Jews would violate their universities’ policies. In hindsight, it was a pivotal moment that opened many eyes to the degenerate state of American higher education. Dave Portnoy is a bad person to annoy. He publicized, and maybe created, a t-shirt that transmutes Harvard University into Hamas University (the ISIS of the East).

    Gen. Satterfield, a fun to read article today. It is always a pleasure to see a Wokester (your term) get what they deserve. The real issue is that they will get away with it. Univeristy boards are just as corrupt.

      Corruption is the name of the game. Just look at our president Joe Biden and the Biden Crime Family. Get what you can and screw everybody else (oops, pun unintended, sorry Hunter). Hey keep this website going and exposing the corruption of politicians. And that includes University Presidents and Military Generals/Admirals.

      That’s right, don’t go to college. There are far better ways to make yourself useful and have a good life. And college is not for everyone anyway. I write this with a bit of trepidation. Personally, I went to college and earned several advanced degrees. College helped make me a better person but only so much as it was a foot in the door to becoming an Army Officer. The Army truly made me who I am today, not college. — Gen. Doug Satterfield. And there it is in a nutshell. Do NOT go to college unless it is an advocate for freedom and there are very few of them remaining.

        POWERFUL. I’ve been watching these “leaders” and their supporters attempting to “clarify” their indefensible positions. But weren’t they given amble opportunity to do that while being grilled by House Rep Elise Stefanik (R-NY).

        Don’t go to college. Gen. Satterfield knows of what he preaches.

          Three horrible morally corrupt women. Another reason to take the right to vote away from women. That would be the beginning of a better world.

    Good. Name them publically. But when the cockroaches run from the light, there will always be someone trying to justify that cockroaches eat sh@@. Thank you, Gen. S. for your article on these 3 terrible ivy league school presidents.
