MSNBC’s Joy Reid discussed the resignation of Harvard University’s ex-president, Claudine Gay, attributing it to the right’s “open war on black progress.”
She criticized Christopher Rufo for claiming victory in associating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) professors with controversial issues and questioned elite colleges’ capitulation to this campaign.
Reid suggested that the goal is to remove women and people of color from leadership positions at universities and replace them with white men, without any intellectual inquiry. (Trending: Fauci’s Ex-Boss Admits The Truth About COVID)
“I do just want to pivot to another thing. Because there’s another thing happening. There- there is this sort of open war on Black progress, Black history. Claudine Gay, the president of Harvard University, at least up until she resigned, is now the latest casualty of that,” said Reid.
“Christopher Rufo, who is out there touting and, you know, high-fiving and claiming the scalp of Claudine Gay, telegraphed that this was what they were going to do. They were going to associate these DEI professors of colleges with BLM and, decolonization and Hamas in the public mind and get rid of them. He’s now claiming victory. He telegraphed that this was the campaign,” she continued.
“Why are these elite colleges capitulating to it and essentially making it so uncomfortable for these women leaders that they have to step down to be replaced by white men? Because that is the goal of Christopher Rufo and his gang,” Reid claimed.
“There’s no intellectual inquiry about it. They’re just trying to take out any woman or person of color who leads elite universities so they can give them to the people they prefer, which is the guys who used to have them in the 50s,” added the MSNBC host.
