My thanks to Rod for pressing me to watch a 130-minute-long video of Eric Clopper, a young Jewish academic, who was recently fired by Harvard after the publication of this. I rarely describe videos as “must watch”, but this is one of them. It might even become one of a number of key materials which presage the end of the butchery of MGM in the United States, and beyond. However long you take – I watched it over three evenings – please watch it. Thank you.
The piece has attracted almost 39,000 views on YouTube in 12 days. The description:
BREAKING: Harvard fired me immediately following the release of my show. To read about Harvard’s malfeasance (and hypocrisy) and to help with litigation, please see my GoFundMe here: https://www.gofundme.com/eric-clopper… My show ‘Sex & Circumcision: An American Love Story’ premiered at Harvard University’s Sanders Theatre on May 1, 2018. Two days later, the student paper, The Crimson, published an article calling my performance a “Naked, Anti-Semitic Rant.” Harvard suspended my employment pending an “investigation” (or more appropriately an inquisition) which lasted over two months. After Harvard’s regrettably illicit and illegal behavior during their “investigation”, they terminated me on pretextual grounds to avoid appearing as censors. I now find myself in a legal battle with a $38B entity whose ostensible purpose is the pursuit of “Veritas,” unfortunately it seems like they are more concerned about their donation stream. If you’d like to support my work, stay apprised of further developments, or help with impending litigation and its inevitable legal and other fees, please subscribe to my email list at https://www.clopper.com, and I will email you frequent updates. I hope you can find the two hours to follow me down the rabbit hole.
