Yalies, if you see this Jonathan Edwards senior looking at you and fingering her smart phone, be careful what you do or say. She’s making a list, and checking it twice, and if you are ever nominated for an important political job requiring Senate confirmation, decades down the road, she may be gunning for you.
Everyone knows a white boy with shiny brown hair and a saccharine smile that conceals his great ambitions. He could be in Grand Strategy or the Yale Political Union. Maybe he’s the editor-in-chief of the News. He takes his classes. He networks. And, when it comes time for graduation, he wins all the awards.
One day, I’ll turn on the television — or, who knows, maybe televisions will be obsolete by this point — and I’ll see him sitting down for his Senate confirmation hearing. Yes, he’ll be a bit older, with tiny wrinkles sprouting at the corners of his eyes and a couple of gray hairs jutting out of the top of his widow’s peak. But that smile, that characteristic saccharine smile, will remain the same.
When I’m watching the white boy — who is now a white man by this point — on CNN, I’ll remember a racist remark that he said, an unintentional utterance that he made when he had one drink too many at a frat party during sophomore year. I’ll recall a message that he accidentally left open on a computer when he forgot to log out of iMessage, where he likened a woman’s body to a particularly large animal. I’ll kick myself for forgetting to screenshot the evidence.
And, when I’m watching him smile that smile, I’ll think that I could have stopped it. …
This problem begins far before our classmates graduate, and we need to call them out on their transgressions — boldly and publicly. … We should make instances of sexual assault and harassment public knowledge. Whisper networks, which are known as private chains of information which pass along knowledge of sexual assault, are useful, but insufficient in spreading information about indiscretions.
I think that we need to continue to call our classmates out, but it’s still not enough. After all, it wasn’t enough to stop Kavanaugh’s confirmation.
To be honest, I’m not sure what the solution is. This expands beyond vocalizing problems about sexual assault: The core of this problem has to do with our values. The problem isn’t just the Yale administration; it’s Yale students. We allow things to skate by. We forget. We say, “No, he couldn’t have done that,†or, “But he’s so nice.†No questions are asked when our friends accept job offers from companies that manufacture weapons or contribute to gentrification in cities. We merely smile at them and wave as we walk across our residential college courtyards and do nothing. Thirty years later, we kick ourselves when it’s too late.
But I can’t do that anymore — I can’t let things slip by. I’m watching you, white boy. And this time, I’m taking the screenshot.

The editorialist is a racist. I used to actually admire schools like Yale. No more.

Wow, Yale Affirmative Action in action! I especially enjoyed the quote “And, when it comes time for graduation, he wins all the awards.” where she displays her soul rotting, naked envy of the substantially higher IQed White males at Yale, classmates in name only, certainly not in potential, quality, and achievement. This poor woman’s exposure to cognitively superior Whites has destroyed in her inner being the myth of racial equality. All she can do now is to live out her future life in a “Dog in a Manger” hoping for payback someday. Yale has destroyed her. She would have done better to have been admitted to a college of coevals in intellect.

You know who says the worst stuff about women? Other women!!!
I hope people are taking screen shots and video of everyone who is a non-white boy, so that 30 years from now we can figuratively body-slam they who are sitting in front of a senate committee.

Like all leftists, she wants to establish an informer society, just like Cuba and North Korea and the Soviet Union et al. These are awful people.

The title is misleading. She appears to suggest only spying on the fairer males as if they are only capable of harassment and or obtaining political office. How discriminatory?

Typical leftist horrible creatures one and all can you imagine the midget mind of somebody that spends her time creaming this kind of crap up Yale is a huge dung Heap of Education not I would never send my son to Yale

This female should understand White males gave her the opportunity to become civilized.
I couldn’t give a damn about political correctness and democrat/socialist/bolshevik/jewish propaganda..She should carefully think before opening her mouth..The decent white male is getting a bit fed up with this BS…So lookout idiots..don’t push your luck.

I don’t deny that she is a leftist full of racial theory.
But I came upon this post while googling her for writing an excellent article on a Hellenistic Egyptian archeological site, with the first name of Isis. Most people I knew at Yale in the 60’s could not write as well as she does. She has numerous articles on art and archaeology, at age 25, in Smithsonian. In several photos she is smashingly smart and fetching in appearance. She is also a artist as well as a freelance writer.
So let’s not get carried away by a stupid article she wrote as an undergrad. She is a talented, attractive and accomplished person.
