During a speech at Thursday’s commencement event, Vemuri hijacked a special moment for 1,000+ fellow graduates and their families to push her own woke agenda. In her speech, she accused MIT of being part of wiping “Palestine from the face of the Earth.” “Last spring, MIT’s undergraduate body and graduate student union voted overwhelmingly to cut ties with the genocidal Israeli military. You called for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. And you stood in solidarity with the pro-Palestinian activists on campus,” Vemuri said while draped in a keffiyeh. “You faced threats, intimidation and suppression coming from all directions, especially your own university officials.” Her comments drew a mixed reaction with some attendees cheering while others booed and yelled “Shame,” and some disgusted attendees walked out. University officials said in a statement that the decision to ban Vemuri graduation was because the speech she delivered was different than the speech she submitted to officials prior to the event. “While that individual had a scheduled role at today’s Undergraduate Degree Ceremony, she was notified that she would not be permitted at today’s events,” said university spokesperson Kimberly Allen.Leave the woke at home...
