Yale’s director of diversity and inclusion Yaseen Eldik invited 'kinky' diversity trainer Ericka Hart
A law professor who was caught on tape pressuring a Native American student to apologize for 'trap house' party, pushed Yale to host a diversity trainer who reportedly told students anti-Semitism is a form of 'anti-blackness' and that the FBI artificially inflates hate crimes against Jews.
Yale’s director of diversity and inclusion Yaseen Eldik invited 'kinky' sex education and diversity trainer Ericka Hart to the university after the board 'publicly expressed' it would 'implement implicit bias and antiracism training.'
The Ivy League school had seen its fair share of racial controversies, including Eldik telling a Native American story to apologize for using the term 'trap house' the same day as Hart's presentation.
Hart's training was advertised as 'training which galvanizes audiences to explore their own biases, share in their experience of identity and offer actionable steps on how each individual can integrate a social and racial justice ethic in their own lives for a more equitable and just world.'
Attendants wrote in a review that Hart was asked to provide 'concrete ideas of next steps to promote antiracism and diversity.'
Hart's presentation allegedly dealt with 'pretty privilege' and 'fatphobia.'
When a Yale Law Review journal editor asked her why her presentation dealt with those types of topics instead of anti-Semitism, Hart allegedly replied that she did because she covered anti-blackness and there are some black Jews, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
'She basically said anti-Semitism is a subset of anti-blackness,' the unidentified editor told the Free Beacon said.
'She didn't recognize there could be anti-Semitism against white people.'
A review by journal editors and student attendants confirmed this statement.

Hart was rated an average of a one. Only one out of 33 responses rated her a 10, according to the report.
Editors described her presentation as 'shocking,' 'upsetting,' and 'offensive,' according to the Washington Free Beacon.
One reviewer wrote: 'I urge you not to invite Ericka Hart again.'
Another wrote: 'I am appalled at her attempt to minimize anti-Semitism in response to one of the questions at the end (suggesting, among other things, that the FBI intentionally distorts statistics to exaggerate hate crimes against Jews.'
Hart's presentation allegedly included examples of 'perfectionism,' 'objectivity,' 'a sense of urgency,' and 'the written word' as examples of white supremacy, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
She allegedly said in order to dismantle white supremacy culture, society needed to abolish prisons, yet imprison former President Donald Trump, as well as opposing capitalism, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
She also reportedly listed things such as 'punctuality' to be a white trait.
One editor disagreed with Hart, writing in review: 'How is it not infantilizing for her to stand up there and say such traits are inherently white.
