(Reuters) - Several hundred faculty members at Harvard University on Sunday signed a petition asking school administrators to not bend to political pressure to fire the school's president over her Congressional testimony about antisemitism on campus.

A concisely worded petition was signed by at least 570 professors and was delivered Sunday evening to the 13-member Harvard Corporation, which has the power to fire university president Claudine Gay. More professors indicated they also wanted to sign, according to a co-author of the petition.


Pressure has hiked on Gay over the weekend, after University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill resigned on Saturday.

Claudine, as well as other Presidents at universities around the country would not give a "yes" or "no" answer to Republican Representative Elise Stefanik's question of whether calling for the genocide of Jews would violate their schools' codes of conduct regarding bullying and harassment, saying they had to balance it against free speech protections.

One faculty member said, "When screaming for genocide of the Jews, you need to consider the context. Is it in the context of killing genocidal Jews or just Jews who have not turned genocidal yet? In fact, I could even seeing killing Jews before they become genocidal because that seems to be their nature"

Another faculty member who taught history said, "When looking at the context of the Holocaust, which many high ranking historians question ever really happened, you had right wingers killing Jews and not socialists like myself. That's not good because the right is evil and socialism is good. Why were the National Socialists on the right? It is because I said so, that's why cuz everything that is bad is on the right and never the left."

KKK member Doreen Smith, who is the PR director for the University was interviewed, but declined to talk. Instead, she donned a KKK flag and began shouting, "From the river to the sea, to free people like you and me!!"

What is sad is, you think it might be legit.

We will say I added a few things, but not much.

Satire, the art of mocking the Left 24/7 because that is all you can do with them.

Much of it is legit.

Not the KKK rep part.

If students had a KKK rally, they would all be expelled from Harvard.

But if they scream gas the Jews, they all graduate with honors.

The irony here is, the President of Harvard was touting free speech as a virtue, when Harvard ranks dead last amongst a poll taken by students regarding free speech.

GAZA — A day after being forced out of the University of Pennsylvania, Liz Magill has been announced as the new President of the Hamas Institute of Technology.
"Experience leading premier universities and comfort with Jewish genocide is a rare combination, and Ms. Magill has it in spades," said Haitham Hawajri, a university board member. "We are proud to welcome Ms. Magill as the President who will lead H.I.T. from the river to the sea."
According to H.I.T., the university had been without a president since a recent paragliding accident claimed his life. The board initiated an extensive search, eventually narrowing down the candidates to the presidents of Harvard, M.I.T., and Penn. "We were so torn after watching their Congressional testimony," said Hawajri. "Each made such beautiful equivocations for the mass murder of Jews. We really wrestled over who to go with, but ultimately Ms. Magill's condescending smirk while talking about genocide won us over."
At publishing time, H.I.T. had announced they were close to announcing Claudine Gay as the new Dean of Student Affairs.
