Magill resigns as UPenn President--time to clean the ivy from the houses

The smirk says it all

New York Congresswoman, Elise Stefanik (R-NY) applauded the resignation of Liz Magill of UPenn who resigned from the post on Saturday for refusing to condemn anti-Semitism as a form of harassment against Jewish students. 

Magill, along with ivy league school presidents Clauding Gay, of Harvard and Sally Kornbluth, of MIT, testified at a Congressional hearing on Tuesday where Rep. Stefanik asked Magill if "calling for the genocide of Jews violate[s] Penn’s rules or code of conduct? Yes or no?"

L to R: Fraus Magill, Gay, Kornbluth

"If the speech turns into conduct, it can be harassment, yes," Magill responded, later adding, "It is a context-dependent decision."

"This is unacceptable. Ms. Magill, I’m gonna give you one more opportunity for the world to see your answer. Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Penn’s code of conduct when it comes to bullying and harassment? Yes or no?" Stefanik then asked.

Magill and the rest of her cohorts did a River Dance around the question and refused to condemn the anti-Semitism that runs rampant at her school and the others, where Jewish students have to fear for their safety, and in at least one case at UPenn, had to lock themselves in a room to avoid have violence perpetrated against them.

Rep. Stefanik applauded the resignation of University of Magill on Saturday after hearing about the resignation.

"One down. Two to go," Stefanik posted to X Saturday. "This is only the very beginning of addressing the pervasive rot of antisemitism that has destroyed the most "prestigious" higher education institutions in America. This forced resignation of the president of @Penn is the bare minimum of what is required. These universities can anticipate a robust and comprehensive Congressional investigation of all facets of their institutions negligent perpetration of antisemitism including administrative, faculty, funding, and overall leadership and governance."

"@Harvard and @MIT do the right thing. The world is watching," she added.

Board of Trustees Chairman Scott L. Bok wrote in a statement Saturday that Magill has resigned.

"I write to share that President Liz Magill has voluntarily tendered her resignation as President of the University of Pennsylvania. She will remain a tenured faculty member at Penn Carey Law," Bok wrote.

So yes, it's one down, two to go, but let's not stop there. Many schools across the country are allowing blatant anti-Semitism to fester like puss pimples on the butts of the women of the Squad. It's ugly and has no place in the world's greatest nation.

And closing the borders might be a good start to deal with part of the problem too.
