MSNBC: Ketanji Brown Jackson, first black female Harvard president set up to tumble off ‘glass cliff’
December 26, 2022 | Chris Donaldson As if any further evidence is needed that diversity-obsessed activists will never be satisfied, an MSNBC host and her two guests found reason to be unhappy about the historic firsts of two black women who were elevated to the pinnacle of their professions, suggesting that new Harvard University President Claudine Gay and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson have already been undermined by a system of oppression that has set them up for failure.
On Saturday’s edition of the “The Mehdi Hasan Show,” a segment was devoted to the so-called “glass cliff,” a theory that women who achieve leadership roles often are allowed to do so during times of crisis and as a result, the increased chance that they will fail has already been pre-baked into the cake.
Filling in for the show’s namesake, guest host Melissa Murray welcomed Fatima Goss Graves who heads up the National Women’s Law Center, and Christy Glass, a Utah State University sociology professor to engage in a discussion of why the groundbreaking appointment of Gay at the prestigious Ivy League institution of learning as well as Jackson’s ascension to the nation’s highest court may not actually be good things.
“History is being made at Harvard. The Ivy League university named its 30th president last week, and the honor went to political scientist Claudine Gay who currently serves as the dean of Harvard’s faculty of arts and sciences. She’s set to become only the second woman to lead Harvard, and the first person of color to serve in that role in the school’s nearly 400-year history,” noting how it is a “remarkable” achievement considering the institution’s racist past.
