Thomas Jefferson University apologizes after commencement presenter flubs names
6abc.com/videoClip/thomas-jef...
She was unable to pronounce Thomas though it’s the university’s name 🤣
D.e.i
Actually it's for a simple reason, the college gave her cards with only yhe phonetic spelling, and not the actual name for some reason, phonetics I learned phonetics in school for music class but it's certainly not a commonly taught thing, absolutely bad on the school's part, whoever had the idea to do that... brain dead, but the woman is fine
@omalleycaboose5937 yeah I'm Sure the 80k a year university/ collages doesn't teach phonetic spelling.... this isn't a pre school or hight school this is the Highest of education we are speaking of.
@@louk597 why would it be taught. Give me one reason it should be a mandatory class. The essential courses ro graduate college, certain amount of Math, English, science and whatever else... oh and also the required phonetics training
@omalleycaboose5937 if you personally had to read a bunch of names out for a graduation I'm sure you would have Pre checked the list & made sure you could read them correctly in order to Not look Stupid or to trash other Big days up, But nah Not this person!. But sure keep making excuses for a DEI. Who didn't even bother to practice or pre check to make sure they could read them appropriately.
"Dee-Nice", "Jay-quillin", "block-ay", "A-A-ron"...
TIM-OHTHY
I thought of that same video.
Jesseeka
I came here for this comment
OMG!!! Yes. It’s the Key & Peele skit come to life 🤣
Next time, get an elementary school student.
No longer required, thanks to DEI!
There ain't no way Thomas phonetically wrote Tah-mu-may on his sheet lets be so for real rn hahahahha
had me yelling rn 😭😭
The name of the friggin' school is Thomas University--- how did she mess that one up?
I mean if they were in IPA, I can see her getting some of these stumbling over what the symbols mean… They’re not intuitive and if you’re not trained, I can easily see not knowing how to pronounce them… Thomas > tɒməs Molly Elizabeth > mɑ.li ɪˈlɪzəbəθ Virginia > vɚˈd͡ʒɪn.jə Brotoski > bɹotaʊski That kinda explains too, why brotoski of all things was right while she stumbled over the others. I’m not sure that’s what happened but I could see someone who’s unfamiliar with those symbols stumbling around and producing some of those results.
@@simsandsurgery1wouldn't they just include both? like the way its normally written, along with the phonetic pronunciation?
@@e2rqey So close to almost seeing it, yet so far....
They’re using the phonetic portion of the name card as an excuse. Whoever read the cards also has the normal printed spelling of the names on each card.
She was an angry black lady taking her micro aggression out on the white students students 😂😂
The speaker was probably wondering why there were so many foreign students lol
She was doing it on purpose. Someone there commented that she pronounced the poc kids names perfectly.
@@willman9567 can you provide a source that would verify your claim?
@@sundaydiver It was in comment sections. I guess look through a few stories if you can find them. It makes sense. Those were extremely common names and we know activists do stupid shyt all the time to make their point. They don't care if they ruin someone's graduation.
Im just gonna go ahead and cross Thomas Jefferson university off the list of schools my kids can apply to.
🤣🤣🤣
Imagine spending 4+ years of your life dedicated working towards a degree, and on the day meant to celebrate and reward your hard work the college provides someone incapable of even reading a simple name on a piece of paper.
That's a D.e.i for ya
She was reading the names as written. Now think about how badly someone had to screw up to transcribe those names so badly
@@unluckytouristthe students write them 😂😂😂😂
Okay what if She saw the Key & Peele sketch and wanted to do the funniest thing ever? 👀
Congrats! You beat me to the Key and Peele comment! 🤣🤣🤣
"A. A. Ron ?" "Is there a A. A. Ron ?" "That's Aaron." "DON OFBA B!+CH !".
DONKEY TEETH
She still failed HARD
ˈkæn ju ˈjuːvən riːd ðɪs ənd spiːk aʊt laʊd? aɪ wɑnt tuː siː juː traɪ
Please have this speaker evaluated. She was having a medical emergency😭😭😭 🤣
And to think she’ll be in charge of someone else’s medical emergency one day?
@@crazyralph6386 Apparently the names were spelt phonetically which means she was stringing sounds together rather than reading names. Reading phonetically can be really difficult since it doesn't resemble any words we are familiar with.
@@aimee4119 if you know how to read, you can read phonetically
Just black
Loved how she got so much wrong but nailed Brotowski
Yeah couldn't even say Camp. Probably after the ceremony someone asked her what her summer plans are and she said "Going camping" and nailed that though.
lol she didn’t. She was close, but her last name was Brostoski.
It was a prank by the uni. Staff..obviously!! She was able to read all the first difficult Arab names all right, basically she initially read the first few names of each group correctly, then BOOM.. she INTENTIONALLY messes up the other names so bad. Even the professor beside her didn't try to correct her bc he KNEW It's a joke!!
The excuses are worse than what happened….like how do you mispronounce Molly or Thomas??? That’s an absolute DISGRACE and the top brass at Jefferson should be beyond embarrassed and horrified!!!
Mispronounced a student named Thomas graduating from fkn Thomas University. Another level of stupid or complete troll
In the IPA phonetic spelling used on the cards, Molly is ˈmɑli and Thomas is ˈtɑməs
She was doing it on purpose. She didn't mess up everyone's name, just the white kids.
@@Jordan117 then Jefferson is a bunch of total idiots if they had cards with JUST phonetic spelling…that’s so moronic that it’s hard to believe to be the case. Most people are wondering if Jefferson is taking the embarrassing hit for the speaker, who as someone pointed out was messing up white names. I’m gonna take my guess that those cards had the actual names on it along with phonetic spelling
@@Jordan117 Still not "Tah-moo-may"
Is that John Travolta reading the names.
The WICKEDLY talented Adele Dazeem.
@@SasukeFromPart1happy 10th birthday to adele dazeem!
she's trolling. she can pronounce Brotoski perfectly but not Elizabeth? cmon
😂😂 she did not pronounce it perfectly lol
DEI
Its spelt phonetically do you not get it imagine seeing "toe-mass-mike-ale-can-e-vary" written on a piece of paper and being asked to piece it together in front of hundreds of people in a few seconds
@@silentkaine9352 They showed the card had the name & phonetic spelling! The names & pronunciations should've been practiced hours prior so any corrections could've been made! There's ZERO excuse for this!!!
@@silentkaine9352 are you trying to tell us the university/ college didn't Do a practice Run to see if everybody could do the task assigned to them! Are you telling us if you had the job of reading out the students names You Yourself wouldn't have Practice or went over it to make sure you could do it properly.... because a DEI wouldn't.
Why didnt someone else step in and stop this nonsense. An entire graduating class, theur families and professors stood there and let this continue? Wow.
No one can say anything to the royalty of this dead nation.
None of the college staff can pronounce the names because they are all DEI hires.
Thw phonetic spelling of "Thomas" looks nothinng like "tah-moo-may." This seems intentional.
Full name would be "ˈtɑməs ˈmaɪkəl kɑnɛˈvɑri", she was saying the first name and part of the middle.
@@Jordan117She didn't say the first name, only the first syllable. Based on that phonetic spelling, she didn't say anything correctly at all.
It was intentional. She only did it to the white kids. Saw someone comment who was there.
It sounds like she's trying to replace English names with ethnic sounding equivalent.
@@willman9567racist as hell
Was this person have a history with strokes?
😂😂Lmaooo
Nah just black, they legit can't read
@@JdmgjnFjahgks I feel so bad for people that can't read so good. If only Zoolander had finished that school.
How do you fuck up "Thomas" its literally in the schools name!
Because it was spelled "ˈtɑməs"
@@Jordan117then how did you she pronounce it "to ma may"? That excuse makes no sense.. its idiotic
@@TimShingermeickle ˈtɒməs ˈmaɪkᵊl. Maybe combined with his last name? Maybe she doesn't know where the first name ended. Idk.
@Jordan117 it wasn't written that way
everything is possible now thanks to DEI
How embarrassing for that presenter and the university! There’s absolutely no excuse for this! JFC!
Another commenter said she pronounced the poc kids names perfectly. Most likely they had an activist in there.
@@willman9567 Time to call a spade spade, another american terrorist in the making that's hates americans, the American way of life and our affinity to pay homage to our history as a nation of immigrants from colonial european history.
The reader was using the phonetic spellings that appear right next to the actual spelling. Even so, phonetic spellings have been used at graduations for ages now. This lady not only had never done this, but had never read a phonetic spelling, or had the common sense to switch to the written spelling. She surely could not have believed some white kid was named “Tahmoomay.” The university sent out perhaps the least competent person they could find.
DEI hire
Someone there commented it was just the white kids she was doing that to, which makes more sense. An activist.
@@willman9567 Shhhh.... This is going too good, lets just go with what they are spinning it as, a Nursing school that passes kids that can't read.
That's what you get when you use diversity hires
@@willman9567My man you heard some guy making an accusation and your brain told you to start spreading this to every single comment you find without ever checking if it’s actually true? Whats wrong with you?
Why would the announcer even have to have the names spelled phonetically? Can she not even read?
I really lost it at Sarah and Thomas! 😂
And the school name is THOMAS Jefferson.
And this is how the highest education standards is upheld, embarrassing.
When tranquavius came up, she pronounced it correctly
😂😂😂😂
Hire someone that speaks English
Hahahahaha. Key and Peale substitute teacher moment. Where's Blaw kay?
He got sent to O Shag Henessey's office along with Ay Ay Ron.
@@alberttang6955 -- And with Jay Quellin and D-Nice!
My diploma from Too Mass Jay Son Oonyerse Teep feels less valuable now, somehow, sadly.
People will be selling their diplomas online to pay for their much needed therepy
There's no way this wasn't intentional
Even if it was, why would she do that? Just to troll?
@@xsxm3116who knows, but def intentional… probably wanted Americans to know how internationals feel… def on purpose
@@xsxm3116 Because non-Whites don't like that we cannot pronounce their silly names so they think they are getting on over on us by doing the same.
Envy, jealousy, revenge, white grads? Take your pic.
That’s a small price international students pay having their names mispronounced. I’m sure they are crying themselves to sleep for having their names occasionally pronounced because it was formed in conjunction with a different language. People come here knowing that English is the primary language spoken here, and in the business world. Where it shouldn’t happen is from a university located in the United States. Asian people do it right when they name themselves names like “Joey” and “Betty” as their American names. They don’t b1tch about it.
Wtf? They just grab an English as a ninth language student?
THOMAS Jefferson University and she couldn't even pronounce THOMAS.....hmmmm
Key and Peele are cracking up now!
I call bovine excrement. No way you get those mispronunciations from phonetic spellings. The announcer was either foreign with very little command of the English language or illiterate. Also lazy as she obviously didn't even practice these names in advance or ask for pronunciations. This was extremely disrespectful to these students. As a teacher I did my best to pronounce my students names correctly and had them correct me every day until I said they properly.
As someone who has helped with many many graduations over the past 19 years, I’m telling you whoever wrote out the name cards, set her up. You usually don’t have time to rehearse them. They did not write outs the pronunciations correctly.
@@tameikarease2389 Whatever! She clearly did it on purpose which is why the system is protecting her.
@@williamrockwell9705 BINGO!
@@williamrockwell9705supposedly her name is Dr Valerie Clary Muronda
Omg. Please tell me this human is not on someone’s payroll
Be nice... Reading lies on television is real work. Just like Trans women are real women.
The "reader" was Valerie Clary-Muronda, an obese black woman who teaches in the Thomas Jefferson University Nursing School.
I need to see this whole thing.i NEED IT!!!!
i think this was racial . kinda like a payback for minority names being mispronounced. completely unprofessional. no way she couldn’t say thomas or elizabeth .
That is all it is and it shows what a mistake it was to allow these monsters to dwell among us.
Key and Peele would be proud.
Why are they protecting the name of the woman who mispronounced? Does anyone know her name?
Of course they always protect.
They do, but they don’t know how to pronounce it
Took me forever but I found her. Dr. Valerie Clary-Muronda…. PhD
@@JosephBrach What an insult to those with a PhD.
I think you can get a glimpse of her (at least her hair) standing behind the president of the college or whoever the man is in the graduation cap. The fact they aren't showing her would suggest...
They don't show you the parts of the clip where the DEI hire pronounces every POC name perfectly.
So you’re saying she’s not illiterate but she’s racist ?
Who was this woman that read the names?
AOC?
Valerie Clary-Muronda, an obese black woman who teaches in the Thomas Jefferson University Nursing School.
The phonetic guide is there if you come across a difficult name. Not Molly or Thomas. 🤦🏻♂️
The question is why have someone as presenter who struggles to read common names? Is she a professor there?
they won't say...
@@MickeyMishra I take it as confirmation by omission then.
She is. Her name is Dr. Valerie Clary-Muronda
@@JosephBrach Danka!
@@JosephBrach Exactly as I imagined.
I smell a cover-up. "Tah-Moo-May"-gate.
lol
The lies to cover it up are worse
That excuse is a lie. Thomas. Phonetically, "Tom-Ess". That does not in any way come out "Tom-Moo-May". It's even in the school's name: "Thomas Jefferson University".
It's International Phonetic Alphabet spelling. The guy's name would have looked like "ˈtɑməs ˈmaɪkəl kɑnɛˈvɑri". You try sounding that out when a crowd is laughing at you.
They clearly needed to get someone who knows how to read IPA. It’s like when the cops kept hiring someone to do the ASL for their news conferences and they totally were doing gibberish with their hands
@@Jordan117 Your example only supports my claim. It is a stretch to think "Tames Maikel" resemble "Tomoomay". No "oo" present. No "S" mentioned. Mixing of two different words." Phonetic alphabet is very easy to read if you know how letters sound. I easily read your example. There's no excuse for a presenter at a college to read that poorly. This is why college is now a joke and accepting weak excuses for it isn't going to make it better.
@@Pelcurus The schwa is also sometimes written as "uh." "tah-muhs mai" certainly would still not be "tomooh may" but I don't think it's quite so wacky a pronunciation as to disbelieve it could happen by accident
That Part When the teacher can't read😂
Look at the bright side, at least millions of people watched their ceremony😂😂
What’s sad is this person most likely teaches and the students probably can’t understand what she says. My daughter graduated from Mississippi Sate with a dual degree in Biochemistry and Mathematics. she had a chemistry professor who when asked repeatedly a question he finally said goo goo it. She filmed this interaction if the students can’t understand you the can not learn.
She was given the phonetic pronunciation on her cards, did you not hear that part?
If you’re a university professor and can’t pronounce the name Thomas English is not your first language. My youngest graduated from the University of Mississippi this past Friday and they pronounced every name correctly.
@@bluescitygarage the lady literally said sorry and that she would be able to read it as normal. You can look it up, the phonetics were presented in a way that made it hard. She couldn’t see the normal spellings.
It's actually fitting and appropriate for how far the American educational standards have fallen. You have people graduating university that can't even spell properly.
Agree, they hand degrees out like candy these days 🙄
it was intentional
@@Deerrusdon't disrespect the graduates like that
😂😂😂😂 I would ask for my money back! If these are the people teaching my children.
Speaker needs to go back to 3rd grade.
Poor woman, it wasn't her fault. That said, I love the names. Allisuna Cole Beeshop = Allison Nicole Bishop Saire Uvoon Jinju Breenan = Sarah Virginia Brennan Maevey Lee Zubeth Brotoski = Maeve Elizabeth Brostoski Mollina Zobeth Comp = Molly Elizabeth Camp
This is what universities have become - a joke
Was she having a stroke? If not, this has to be embarrassing for the university, because come on...
Oh is it? Every single day everyone can see this behavior yet no one appears to have a problem.
@@williamrockwell9705 Everyday when people say "Oh they have woken up", it's just a false hope.
imagine having an illiterate token present you graduation
Where can i watch the whole ceremony please 😅
Why does a college professor NEED phonetic spellings? 10/10 this is a DEI hire
Every university does this so that students names are pronounced correctly it’s just this time got super fucked up
She's probably thinking "damn, there's that word again. Elizabeth is a popular name" 😂
Was the announcer a US citizen?
@@Joe-sg9ll Lunchtime rowdies I heard. Not sure what that is.
Valerie clary muronda is the name
The university was quick to take all the graduation fees, and the least they could have done was to ensure the graduates' names were pronounced correctly. Another DEI appointee, no doubt.
How about reimbursing the students for their tuition costs? They were made laughingstock’s to the nation. That’s a lot of pain and suffering.
Y’all are mistaking PHONETICS with PHONICS. Phonics is what we learned to use how to read in second grade. PHONETICS is the spelling showing how to pronounce each syllable in a word.
This is what happens when someone was taught to read on Common Core principles.

A 6 year old could read the names better..... What was the point of having this speaker. She even seemed uncomfortatble. I get the reason which is ridiculous- how embarrassing for the University and so insulting to the students. Do better.
This was deliberate. Disgusting.
I am convinced someone pranked the announcer and the names on her paper had minimum the wrong spacing.
If you dont think this was done intentionally , wake up
Come on man, that's not nice. She can't help being born the way women are. It's almost a disability. And you know they don't even know what to do with computers. That New York Mayor said so! Be more understanding please of their talented & gifted status.
the best part is that the school name is Thomas Jefferson University, and she can't even pronounce Thomas right!
Mr. Garvey ?
Not buying the "written phonetically" excuse. Somebody can't read. (Why do you even need to write Thomas or Elizabeth or Molly phonetically?)
She was literally to inept to problem solve the basic principle of referring to the phonetic help section when coming across a name that was less obvious than molly... honestly, how does someone gain employment at a university when they have a complete inability to think even slightly laterally??? Surely after mispronouncing the first name, jeez even the second, the fact they sounded soooooo frikin unlike any name ever youd stop to take stock of what was going on
She messed up BECAUSE the cards used the phonetic spelling. IPA spelling is almost unreadable if you don't know how.
@@Jordan117then why did they let her speak then?
@@ghostlyemperor4557 You know why.
@@williamrockwell9705 made the News as it was the black women being intentionally disrespectful & Prejudice to the Jewish Children's names. That is the only reason you are hearing about this.
Unless things have changed, usually it’s the graduate themselves who write the phonetic way of saying it. How could so many graduates write the phonetic pronunciation of their own name so unrecognizable? And Thomas is literally in the name of the school.
made the News as it was the black women being intentionally disrespectful & Prejudice to the Jewish Children's names.
how is this possible? i need an explanation from the woman who read off these names cuz theres no fn way. was thomas written "toe, me, mas" on a card or some shit? i truly cannot believe this
"And so, I rise, I rise, I RISE!"
Why did she even volunteer to do it? How on earth was she given that role?
Purposefully done.
Shame on them.. Took their money and disrespect the graduates with unintelligible language. 🤦🏾♂️
She totally butchered the names. Had there been a Muslim name ; there would have been cries of racism. Whatever happened to the American education system.
It was taken over by people that hate America and actual Americans.
the students were mature enough to just go along with it xD
I don't want to hear back talk from you BolockKay. JayQuellin is perfectly able to pronounce these names
"You done messed up, Ay Ay Ron!"
I pray that the announcer works in administration and is not an instructor at Thomas. God only knows what these nursing students would be taught in her class. 😳
How is Syeer phonetically close the spelling of Sarah. Soind this out S-air-ah.
interesting that Daquarius was pronounced correctly while all the normal "White" names were butchered.

This is like the substitute teacher sketch from Key and Peele.
I love that the students that they showed were able to laugh about it. I would have too but I understand if others were pissed. I worked hard and paid all this money. The least you can do is pronounce my name right!!! 🥴

They should change their name to Tamoomie Jeefaaarsoon Université I didn’t know you could drop out of kindergarten and get a job at a college

It is clearly she is functionally illiterate. THAT is the thing I don't understand... how did nobody know this? And if she hid her illiteracy that well to get to this point, how did she not realize she would have to fess up before the ceremony? I mean, she must have known she would not be able to read the names, so how did she think she would get away with it?
Why did they have to provide phonetic spelling for common English names? If you speak english with any fluency you should have heard all these names.
