University graduation MC brutally mispronounces student names | Dan Abrams Live 

Thomas? You mean Tomome

It was on purpose

DEI

This is why Liberalism is insane. What you have here is simply equity and diversity, not MERRITT....

This is a perfect example of diversity or equity, not (merit). EMBARRASSING

She was following directions. Like to see her textbooks after her professor suggest student highlight

Totally 😂

I wouldn't send my dog to the school...

there you have your diversity

@@jenscheibner792Your dog doesn’t need “that school.” Dogs are brilliant if you understand their behavior, language. I get them. I just don’t get these people

100%

I learned elsewhere that she has a master degree from another university in the U.S. and that English is her first language.

@@waynebollman what's the name?

What could explain this....a speech impediment or a learning disability ? I don't wish to jump to harsh conclusions before knowing all the facts. Some people do have difficulties speaking for various reasons, including partial or complete deafness.

The announcer wasn't doing this on purpose or for a public stunt. She was given name cards that were in phonetics and ONLY phonetics. For example, the name "stephanie" would look like "stef-uh-nee".

welcome to america

😆😆😆👍

@@lunarlight3131 And it's only going to get worse.

That was my first thought too! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dd7FixvoKBw.htmlsi=X6jOh8iOs8FaiaTH&t=19

Someone who is completely or near completely illiterate.

Lolo where I live, many pronounce Jessica Yessica, so 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

@@ryanyuk Nobody cares where you live.

It was a long time coming. I saw the warning signs with "common core". Then by 10-15 years ago a point of no return had been reached and in such a way where there can be no doubt it was purposeful. Now all one needs to do to see what that purpose was, and then learn what happens next, is go research "Mao's cultural revolution". This might be a funny video but it also speaks volumes. I hope this help more people see what's actually going on behind the scenes here that lead to this.

Exactly, this is a big moment for them (or should have been) This woman made a mockery of the ceremony

Exactly! Contact the students directly to get the correct pronunciation. OMG Poor kids and their families. I wouldn't want to tell anyone I graduated from Thomas Jefferson University after this. 😮

@@DavidCox3521 Three years ago we attended the graduation of a grandchild. The person reading the names of the graduates made no effort even to try to pronounce the students' names correctly. One young man actually grabbed the mic and said, "You took my money but can't even be bothered to say my name correctly. We're nothing to you but a fat paycheck." He screamed his name into the mic while the audience cheered.

@@FlexibleFlyer50 Good for him... Thomas did try to correct her...

She butchered the most common names. Definitely on purpose 😂

@@doxoxo779 That's what I thought at first too until the university put out an apology.

That's what I thought (it was intentional). Her accent sounds like very western, not Indian, Chinese or any other distinctive accent... still these are very common names, hard to believe someone who works @ university (no matter what background) never heard of them or have hard time pronouncing them.

I swear it sounded like she tried to hold back a chuckle a couple of times 😂

@@3abbosi It has been confirmed that her first language is english and that she is a college graduate....... who cannot read with or without phonetic spellings right beneath the actual words.

DEI

💯!!

And an EDUCAYED one too

DEI strikes again...

Oh, the Liberals can't have that. It goes against their insane diversity or equity narrative. Do you mean hiring off of merit makes more sense? Who'd have thought it? 🤔

She blatt

DEI

DEI grifters

DEI

They sound AA to me.

Exactly what you expect

College educated american. Obviously.

I thought that at first but the university put out a serious apology so it wasn't a skit or a joke. This lady learned to read in a public school where she was taught to memorize words without learning the letters or their sounds. This makes it very hard to read names because they are words you don't see everyday and might not have memorized. It was only a matter of time until these early 2000s kids grew into adults and now here we are... 30% of highschool graduates now-a-days only read at a 1st grade level... I know a teacher who says her special ed students from 20 years ago performed better in every subject than her regular students do today, plus all honor classes were removed from the district in the name of DEI.

Common Core education is a disaster.

Absolutely. If someone cannot read normally written names, they certainly would not be able to read phonetically: ˈdʒoʊzɪf ˈbaɪdən would be even more unrecognizable to them.

100%

I believe she was just stupid.

Key and Peele skit, look it up...

No one tried to stop her or correct the problem!!!! Even Worse...

Yeah, no.

Sounds like they didn't get a qualified person for the simple task of reading common names.

And apparently she must’ve never used a dictionary before,

and parents...

I would not have come forward: I have not heard my name called.

For real!

DEI is how it happened.

the cards had below the names some unhelpful phonetic spellings & she was reading those

@@hya2in8 thank you, I was so curious to know

Is she just hateful???

100%

Do you have a link to the full video? (sincerely asking). She may have mispronounced other names too but they edited the video to only show the 'white' names since everyone basically knows how to pronounce it correct in US (so the mistake is more glaringly obvious). Regardless they should never have hired that announcer.

no, DEI going exactly as predicted

No, their IED went off as intended...

Neither should be have entrusted to read the names 🤦🏻‍♀️ what a disgrace

sounds Spanish@@AB-mx1de
