It never fails.
I’ve pointed out that Kamala Harris had a history of covering up sexual harassment. So did a number of other top Democrat feminists. Like most forms of leftism, identity politics offers the power to commit the abuses it claims to fight. Why should the Smithsonian’s American Women’s History Museum be any different?
Nancy Yao has been named the founding director of the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum, effective June 5.
“I am humbled and elated to join the Smithsonian as the founding director of the American Women’s History Museum,” Yao said. “Creating voice for the stories of American women will take intentional conversations, creative inputs and energetic curation.”
Also allegedly covering up sexual harassment by firing the accusers.
In the year and a half before Yao’s selection, the history and culture institution where she served as president — the Museum of Chinese in America, commonly known as MOCA — has settled three wrongful termination lawsuits stemming from alleged incidents during her tenure.
The lawsuits were filed by former employees who said they were fired in retaliation for reporting alleged sexual harassment on behalf of young female staffers at the museum. The two men who were accused internally of harassment kept their jobs; one was later promoted by Yao…
Accusations aren’t proof, but a pattern of accusations does strongly indicate either a coordinated effort or that something was going on there.
And so does lying about it.
In her text message to The Post, Yao blamed the firings of the three employees who filed lawsuits on “severe budget pressures.” However, Yao gave MOCA staffers a different reason for the first dismissal, in 2019, of a popular program director, Joyce Huang, who was let go two days after she made a sexual harassment complaint on behalf of a 20-year-old intern, according to Huang’s lawsuit and The Post’s interviews with former staffers.
In a meeting the day Huang was fired, Yao told staffers that the termination “has nothing to do with our financial standing. We’re doing really, really well,” according to an audio recording of the meeting provided to The Post by a former staffer.
The intern — who worked in visitor services, a job that included staffing the front desk — also recounted allegedly receiving numerous “creepy messages” from Duong and being offended when Duong and Geronimo made suggestive remarks about her mother, who’d just visited her at the museum.
One text message allegedly sent by Duong to a 20-year-old intern said, “if I was teenage boy I’d sent you a naked pic already,” according to two of the lawsuits and a screenshot reviewed by The Post.
Sexual harassment and grammar harassment.
The Smithsonian pretty clearly knew about this and didn’t care. Now that the accusations are more high profile, Yao may be booted. Or not.
It doesn’t really matter.
What does matter is that a Republican Congress and administration failed to check the constant expansion of the Smithsonian which keeps spinning off woke copies of itself. Each one even more dedicated to leftist indoctrination. The Smithsonian was created by a socialist congressman, and Republicans have failed to check it just as they’ve failed to check the NEA. Maybe it’s time to put a stop to it before it spins off the Smithsonian Transgender American History Museum.
When was the last time you saw a government department close down?
Thanks Mo. The incentives are unbalanced. The government department has strong incentive to keep their funding. The taxpayers incentive to close them down is atomized (many taxpayers but only a small incentive per taxpayer).
You gave me an idea, AA, though it would require a principled president and upper to mid-level management in the executive branch. The next Republican president needs to fire or reassign most of them anyway.
I remember in the Army, at the end of the fiscal year we would have to spend all the money we were allocated, or lose what we didn’t spend on next year’s budget. Just don’t spend all the money, and the next year the budget will shrink for a change in the individual departments, agencies, and offices. They could also freeze hiring, and let attrition whittle those numbers down as well. Dems and the msm would scream bloody murder, but there’s precedent for it in dem administrations.
Government bureaus multiply and eat tax money like PacMen.
Not even “the Ministry of Funny Walks.” 😉
I stopped sending – buying children’s and adult magazines from Smithsonian years ago. I see now it was a wise choice for more than the reason I did.
Yao is obviously a piece of shit but I would do her if I met her. She’s not bad looking.
Just hope she doesn’t have bad breath 🙂
You never know, ha ha
I “dated” a chick last year with bad breath. I made it habit not to kiss her and just to F her.
Who is this socialist congressman who created the Smithsonian??? What year???
Also, if you think sexual harassment only happens at woke institutions, then you…. sorry… I forgot… you don’t think that at all. You’re just a liar.
Poor Mick, can’t figure out google, lol.
“Also, if you think sexual harassment only happens at woke institutions…” Nah, it just get’s excused and buried by people like you when it happens at woke institutions, and when it’s done by leftists/dems. No comment at all from you about the sexual harassment, even with proof, not he said she said,, the obvious retaliatory firing for the complaint, or the provable lie told to the WaPo about it, by Yao. Just the ‘everybody does it’ excuse for it, and a baseless accusation that Greenfield is a liar, when you obviously have no evidence, much less proof, that he’s even wrong. Pathetic.
Suck a bag of dicks and die.
Not you, Cowboy. Micdickhorn. F him.
“Maybe it’s time to put a stop to it before it spins off the Smithsonian Transgender American History Museum.” Don’t give them any ideas (although it’s probably already in the works).
