Yale University now appears to be distancing itself from a psychiatrist who said during a School of Medicine talk that she had fantasies of “unloading a revolver into the head of any White person,” saying in a statement that officials found her remarks “antithetical” to the institution’s values.
FORMER PROFESSOR SLAMS NYC PSYCHIATRIST WHO TALKED ABOUT SHOOTING WHITE PEOPLE AS ‘UNFIT TO PRACTICE MEDICINE’"Based on these concerns, School of Medicine leaders, including Dean Brown and Deputy Dean Latimore, in consultation with the chair of the Child Study Center, reviewed a recording of the talk and found the tone and content antithetical to the values of the school," it added.
She said people of color can feel"intense rage and futility" when trying to talk to White people about race. "In deciding whether to post the video, we weighed our grave concern about the extreme hostility, imagery of violence, and profanity expressed by the speaker against our commitment to freedom of expression," Yale said in its statement."We ultimately decided to post the video with access limited to those who could have attended the talk – the members of the Yale community."
