How on earth did this dangerous, mentally disturbed woman ever get into a psychiatry training program, let alone graduate from one? She spews forth a toxic word salad about her fantasy of committing a mass shooting along racial lines, her resentment about not getting some vacation time years ago and her rage about people's gluten free diets. I once spent time with a woman who was having a psychotic breakdown, and the resemblance is striking. What was Yale thinking?

Well, this Yale/Aruna Khilanani story finally caught fire on WaPo -- though the article was very slanted in favor of Khilanani. There are now exactly 1,200 comments and the number grows by the minute. Almost every comment criticizes Khilanani or Yale. The tide may be turning. People have finally had enough of the hateful, woke CRT madness inflicted on us in our schools and places of work.

It is truly, truly astounding. I have little faith that Yale will act nor the two pathetic Senators of the State. More disturbing is the silence of anyone regardless of political affiliation to intervene. Shameful!

It boggles the mind that Yale "Lux et Veritas" sponsored a continuing medical education course that encouraged medical doctors to violate the Hippocratic Oath. Certainly a new low.

If enough people put pressure on Yale, they would have to act. What does Yale have to justify its $81,000 annual tuition except a gold plated reputation. And this incident trashes it.

Bari, Katie, Nicholas Christakis, Jonathan Haidt, Steve Pinker, Sam Harris, John McWhorter, Coleman Hughes, Bret Weinstein,, Joe Rogan. They could all spread the truth about these bogus "training programs."

Yale screwed up big time, and they can't be allowed to get away with it.

I believe the folks you mentioned are doing the best they can considering the environment they have to work in. I cannot believe for the life of me that there are no congressional hearings on this. What is working (and it's tough) parents and some grassroots efforts are staring to push back using the legal system but to your point, we must scream louder. I'm in one of the poorest congressional districts in the country so while elite northeast insanity is not on the radar down here, it does trickle down to our Maoist la La land where the Zapatistas run with it. Wouldn't surprise me if that sadistic lunatic ends up on a T-Shirt with Che Guevara.

Yes. I can see her on a photoshopped tee shirt flanked by Che and AOC. Perhaps after Congress receives their UFO report, they'll have time to investigate the Aruna Phenomena.

The "screaming" is starting to have an effect. Today, the NY Times published an article that was pretty good considering how insufferably woke that paper has become. Earlier today the story appeared on their list of their most read articles, so the word seems to be spreading.

There was even an article in The Sun, which is fitting considering how deranged she is and looks in her photos. I didn't see anything in WaPo or The Atlantic, and there are only a few amateur youtube videos, but give it a little more time.

The New York Times reported it, too. But the Post beat them to it by one day. So far, WaPo is silent. The British based The Sun also covered it. The more this story spreads, the better. And it's got everything to capture the people's interest including a protagonist who looks like she takes makeup and fashion lessons from the Kardashian sisters.

So I saw her picture - she could pass for white, for sure. I’m not telling anyone their race, but if I just saw a photo and knew nothing else, I’d think she was Hispanic (maybe). My point being, she is clearly of a mixed race background, which makes her “white-hate” even more interesting.

Apparently, this is true. A moderately important point is that this is at least partially a consequence of racial quotas (politely called affirmative action). Quotas bring large number of unqualified people onto campus. Predictably they don't do well. Rather than blaming themselves (or the quota system), the go off the deep end and blame 'racism' in spite of the fact that the ivies are probably the least racist environment in history of humanity.

Yale seems to be a mess all over and over - today's WSJ has an op-ed by Dem operative Lanny Davis, "The Darkness at Yale" - about Board malfeasance. Dumpster fire stuff.

I feel there is a trend here...whenever an institution or company is getting bad rep, they embrace CRT as a way to get some quick PR points. Hence, it is so hypocritically embraced and disguised as “inclusion” by the most historically elitist schools and universities. Yet, I doubt the intention is to actually change and become less elitist.

This is what happens when these institutions are run by cowards. That seems to be the most important qualification. It is beyond mind ken that parents would entrust the minds of their children to these loathesome, odious universities. Someone should tell them the world needs plumbers and electricians too. If this is what higher education provides, I'm happy with my little 2 year Assosicate's degree.

Cowards, loathesome and odious institutions indeed. Well said. What's happening now, if there's a happy end to it and a restoration of 'Common Sense,' will make the McCarthy era look tepid. Here's what I want to know though. I voted for Obama twice only to see him become the divisive cop hating, racism is in white people's DNA Marxist that he was hiding for 4 years. Then I refused to vote for either Hillary or Trump because I disliked both of them. I voted a write in candidate instead, Sheriff David Clarke, because I was sickened by the Democratic Party inspired lawlessness and their support of anti white racism which is exactly what CRT/DEI is. Notwithstanding Trump's significant flaws, I was disgusted more by how the Democrats behaved during his presidency and reluctantly voted for him in the last general election. I do not want him to run again and will vote for someone else in the Republican Primary. I do not believe he is electable and it is essential that a Republican wins in 2024. Since Biden's election, the Democratic Party's deceit and extremism has reached new heights and has continued to imperil our country in ways I have never seen during my 65 years. But here's the question I have? How many of the people who are expressing the outrage I see in these comments about the indoctrination camps that colleges and now secondary and primary schools have become, about the cancel culture and the suppression of free speech; how many of these people are willing to vote for a Republican? I have Democrat friends who say to me, "how are we going to end this insanity," and I reply, STOP VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS; and some of them look at me like I'm asking them to give me one of their children. I'm actually interested in hearing Bari answer the question: "Are you willing to vote for a Republican over a Democrat in the next presidential election and under what conditions would you do this? My wife voted for Biden and I said, "Why are you voting for these radical leftist ideologies he is going to implement?" She assured me that he was a "moderate." I'm interested in hearing what others have to say about these questions. God Bless America, and no I'm not a White Supremacist for saying that!

The following is a quote from George Will's latest column which I am copying from National Review today. I hope I don't get in trouble with copyright stuff since I have no clue how that works. Anyway, I thought it applied to today's discussion:

"Rutgers University’s chancellor and provost, who are weathervanes in human form, lack the courage of their convictions, which they also lack".

Refuse to donate. We have stopped all donations to colleges our family has attended (Ivy League and Seven Sister) until they get some sense knocked back into them. No President or Dean of any of them has shown much of any leadership when it comes to this insane period, especially, President Katherine McCartney of Smith. She should be fired for her recent caving into the woke but the Trustees are just as woke.

If it's millions, why don't you endow a "heterodoxy" professorship at Yale. Jonathan Haidt of The Coddling of the American Mind would probably be able to advise you. According to the NYT, the going rate back in 1996 at Yale was $1.5 million, so somewhere between three and five million would probably be enough. Just dangle the cash in front of Yale, and they'd find it hard to resist.

Yale is finished as a viable & worthy institution. We're just watching its slow moldy death. In 1995 when it rejected Robert Bass' $20 million gift to promote the Western Canon - that was the beginning in my mind of Yale's decline as an institution. I wouldn't throw two pennies at it.
