  • Curtin University’s Dean of Global Futures Joe Siracusa says Duke University inviting Jerry Seinfeld to speak at a graduation ceremony was “bad optics”.
    Dozens of students at Duke University in North Carolina have walked out of a commencement ceremony in protest of the guest speaker - comedian Jerry Seinfeld.
    The comedian has been a vocal supporter of Israel since the October 7 attacks.
    “It was a bad idea, they should have just withdrawn,” Mr Siracusa said.

    A small group of protesters left, they were shouted out by a large crowd, and he gave a great speech. Great job Jerry and Duke! 😇 He's a Duke parent. Duke had GUTS to support him when so many schools live with Jewish kids being harassed on campus and general antisemitism. Good job, Duke!

    So basically this Dean of Global Future (is that like gender studies, all made up?)doesn't like Seinfeld or his politics so he doesn't think Duke should have picked him. How about he was picked for the usual reason. Seinfeld is a very successful man respected in his field who might possibly have some good advice to impart to young people just starting out in the world. That is the kind of person who who was chosen in the past to speak.
