Nepo Baby Sean Ono Lennon Trashes Harvard Diversity
The son of legendary music artists John Lennon and Yoko Ono joined the fray of the ongoing diversity, equity, and inclusion discourse following the resignation of former Harvard President Claudine Gay, in a Wednesday afternoon post on X, formerly Twitter, writing, “Have you guys heard of DEI? It stands for ‘Dumb Evil Idiots.’”
Sean Ono Lennon’s remark came just after he quote-posted billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman’s long-winded essay demanding Harvard University shut down its DEI office and fire its staff.
The songwriter seemed to agree with Ackman, who said in a 2 a.m. post on Wednesday, that Harvard’s Corporation Board “failed to create a discrimination-free environment on campus, exposing the University to tremendous reputational damage, to large legal and financial liabilities, Congressional investigations and scrutiny, and to the potential loss of Federal funding, all while damaging the learning environment for all students.”
