Enough is enough…
Dr Phil shares a powerful message to the University presidents who allow antisemitism on their campus. "As an American I grow increasingly appalled at the antisemitism permeating so much of our country especially by so many students at our elite universities. If Hamas behavior doesn't cross the line, then you don't have one." Thank you Dr Phil for continuously standing up for right over wrong 🇮🇱

Thanks The Nobel Prize for your enlightening post. Education should encompass not only the acquisition of cognitive knowledge but also the cultivation of gratitude, empathic listening, and the elevation of the soul and spirit. By integrating these elements, we can foster enhanced creativity and overall well-being. This urgent agenda has the potential to reshape the future of higher education. The #MECCDAL Method, a science-grounded and human-centric approach, plays a pivotal role in achieving this vision. By educating and empowering the best generation of elite individuals, we can create a transformative impact. I appreciate your emphasis on compassion and humanity—it’s a crucial aspect of our collective journey toward a brighter educational landscape.

“Education that will make a person have more compassion and humanity is the kind of education that the world needs.” Nobel Prize laureates Leymah Gbowee and Wole Soyinka reflect upon the power of knowledge and education. What does education mean to you?
We still have people in sheets hiding the systemic-isms rooted in America. These sheets are the sheets of paper codifying agreements, transactions and investments directing financial, social and human capital.

Harvard is my alma mater. In all my time and studies there, I never learned this part of the school's history. When we say that the history of race in this country is not adequately taught, this is what we mean. When we say that history of atrocities is not that old, this is what we mean. As reported by the Harvard Crimson itself: J. Max Bond Jr. ’55 entered Harvard at the age of 16, (1 of 15 Black students in his class). As his freshman spring semester began, two other Harvard freshmen erected a wooden cross facing that corner of the Yard, formed by Stoughton and Holworthy Halls. And around midnight on Feb. 5, 1952, the students lit the cross on fire.The photo below shows Harvard KKK members proudly showing off their regalia on graduation day 1924.

Marching Orders Posted in early January as an anticipatory salvo against Columbusing and indiscipline. “Let me spell this out: Today my focus is on getting us - justice minded folks - committed to do the hard work of change. We have different roles to play but hopefully this modern day lynching feels pivotal. Black folks: react, repost and amplify the voices from within our community. We understand this as an egregious episode of anti Black racism and sexism AND can analyse the causes, likely outcomes & design an action agenda. Basically, WE are the experts! White bodied allies are best deployed taking on white intelligentsia and influential voices that have media access and credibility. They will deflect, de-center anti Black racism and perform contortions appealing to fairness and balance. Get your rest, work in groups, vent, pray, dance, commune with nature and meditate - we have work to do. "Systems change is a contact sport for grown ups" Onwards!

Learning has never been so fun! Truly eye-opening, filled with new perspectives and thought-provoking discussions that have challenged and expanded my understanding of these complex topics. While there's still so much more to explore, I'm humbled to share that I've just completed my Philosophy, Science, and Religion course at the University of Edinburgh. It's been incredible to explore the big questions of existence, the nature of reality, and the search for meaning. The intellectual adventure is well worth it. Now, onward to the next chapter! 📚 #PhilosophyScienceReligion #MindExpansionJourney #NeverStopExploring"

No hoods required in 2024 Anti Black Racism in America has changed and so should our strategies and tactics. The history of Harvard University is representative of America. There is no getting away from institutionalized racism. And yet, mostly white folks (and some melanated ones) want to deflect away from seeing this as a pivotal moment - a professional lynching of an academic superachiever Dr. Claudine Gay. We have been asked to focus on Dr Gay having a failure of leadership by not providing a safe space for students and using specific words to reject genoicide of Jews. We are also being asked to regard legacy admissions as the "biggest diversity" issue. And coaxed into color blind analysis by many others who would have us believe that it is sounder and more reasonable not always to invoke anti Black racism. To regard this as an instance requiring consideration of complexity and contextual specificity. There are a number of highly influential and well respected persons who more than likely will be the ones that legacy media will use to interpret the events and the way forward. The intelligentsia and media will erase anti Black racism by focusing on myths of merit and academic integrity. Will opine on reputational strategies for organizations and invoke their desire for a post-racial world in which all individuals are held to the same standards. Our strategies and tactics must *anticipate* these patterns and call them out in public, as well as in private. It is not the trolls or the uneducated with bumbling obscene laden posts on social media that I will be engaging. It is with those who actually set and maintain a narrative that fails to center anti Black racism even when it is obvious. Thank you Shannon Frison for your courageous and outspoken leadership. There is work to be done and I am grateful to everyone who is showing up to support Claudine Gay and provide an example of how we defeat institutionalized racism. Elliot S.

Centuries of primitive, backwards, and false anti-Black racism do not die easily as the case of Dr. Gay and others shows. Even changes in laws don’t kill racism. There must sincere, deliberate, persistent efforts to include *everyone* in the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness. This means teaching the good, bad, and ugly of our history so we can stop repeating it and build an even stronger nation together. US Americans are strong enough to handle the truth. And only the truth can set us free. Hiding unsavory facts about our past only weakens our nation. Only the truth can truly set us free. If we don’t face our history and its present-day impact, our country will keep carrying its original sin of enslavement (along with the attempted genocide of Native Americans and so many other human rights abuses). As descendants and survivors of these atrocities, we just want them to stop for us and everyone else—never again. Stop the disgenious appropriation of our Bill of Rights, as well as our civil and gender rights movement principles, by those working to then back thd clock where women, queer people, and people of color were denied basic rights. Being a billionaire doesn’t make a person right, ethical, or an advocate for true freedom and equal opportunity. Stop believing their hype and false ideology. Stop the encroaching oligarchy led by imperious, dulpicitious, exclusionary, McCathy-esque supremacists. Their free spedch rhetoric sounds like freedom. But their actions are just old school, anti-American tryanny in democracy’s clothing. We are better than our ancestors’ mistakes. Let’s unite in truth and mutual support towards a better future for all. Taishya, thanks for sharing this provocative post. #onenatiom #onehumanity #unite #saveourdemocracy #billofrightsforall #weareamericatoo

In the latest issue of #CCCUAdvance, Dr. Stanley P. Rosenberg, vice president for research & scholarship at the CCCU and the executive director of SCIO: Scholarship and Christianity in Oxford, explores the turbulent climate of higher academia and how #ChristianHigherEd can play a huge role in modeling civility for the common good.
A different group of cowardly bigots now cover their faces to intimidate and even commit violence against their peers on the Harvard campus, in classrooms and library study halls. Racism is a subset of bigotry, and unfortunately, the disease itself is color blind. Over time bigotry based on race is applied by those with power (or powerful supporters) against those without. Asians in America have never had power, so many of us stridently oppose race-based power and preference no matter who is the purported beneficiary, and who the perpetrators of the bigotry. The picture attached to the post, like Orwell's 1984, should be used as a lesson and a warning, rather than as an instruction manual. Many of the anti-Semites purportedly protesting "Israel" and "Zionism" now are using what the KKK did, and 1984, as instruction manuals. Quite seriously, those terrorizing others with masks on in Harvard Yard and elsewhere now are simply the grotesque spiritual descendants of the KKK.

Challenging systemic racism in American education isn't just a goal, it's a necessity. Every child deserves a fair chance, a supportive environment, and equal opportunities to thrive. Let's unite in dismantling these deep-rooted barriers and build a school system that truly reflects the principles of equity and justice. Together, we can make education a powerful tool for change, not a perpetuator of inequality. #EducationReform #EqualityInEducation #SystemicChange #knowledgeispower
