Harvard University Finally Tells Trump To F Off In His F'ing Face (Wonkette)
Excerpt
Harvard had already rolled over and agreed in January to expand its guidance on antisemitic bullying, and then two weeks ago dismissed leadership at its Center for Middle Eastern Studies, suspended programming focused on Israel and Palestine at the Harvard Divinity School, and terminated its partnership with Birzeit University in the West Bank. But even that was NOT ENOUGH; a few days later the government sent a letter with even more demands, including:
Leadership and governance “reform”: Harvard must vow to choose its leadership only among “exclusively those most devoted to [...] the changes indicated in this letter,” and get rid of anyone who might “interfere with the possibility of the reforms indicated in this letter.”
Viewpoint diversity: Harvard must let the government audit the student body, faculty, staff, and leadership for viewpoint diversity, such that each department, field, or teaching unit must be individually “viewpoint diverse.”
Vague! Wondered Harvard’s Steven Pinker in the New York Times, “Will this government force the economics department to hire Marxists or the psychology department to hire Jungians or, for that matter, for the medical school to hire homeopaths or Native American healers?” Ha, ha, I think we ALL know what viewpoints they’re talking about there. Or maybe we don’t! Vagueness is a friend to authoritarianism, because it keeps people worrying all the time about not committing viewpoint crimes.
