No you don't. Your cult leaders tell you that's what you root for, but in fact, you are a marxist at best.

It's what leftists do.  That's why they're so easy to brainwash and why liberals make up most, if not ALL, members of cults around the world.

Typical toxic masculinity insult aside, it's not about wanting to give Harvard taxpayer money.   The issue is about whether a president can extort private institutions for their own personal agenda.  I am against this as should be every American.

The distraction is having sympathy for an institution that has a giant endowment.  It's hard to argue that they should get taxpayer money.  What I will say is that these grants go to research, hospitals, etc.  The funding helps people and saves lives.  It's not paying tuition for a foreign grad student to get a degree in America hating.

I don’t think getting rid of race or gender based admissions is his personal agenda. You’re confused.

Is Harvard supposed to conduct public research at its own expense because they have a billion dollar endowment?

It’s a political agenda, you dummy. Him and over half the country.  He ruined you. And you weren’t all that great to begin with.

The Harlem Harvard protests nearly tore apart this country.

Clueless.

Yes, I bet he’s concerned his grandkids won’t get into a top school. It’s a very personal issue.

The question was about his alleged attacks on academic freedom. He brought up what was going on on campuses, Columbia being one of them. Everyone else understood.  Except you TDS cucks.

Fun read from Reason on the multiple levels of idiocy at Harvard:

Quote

I Don't Mean to Brag, but I Didn't Go to Harvard

Harvard continues to beclown itself.

David Bernstein | 5.2.2025 8:44 AM

Recent news from Harvard:

(1) Harvard, under a lot pressure from both the government and internal constituencies, released a lengthy report about antisemitism at the university since October 7. It's pretty devastating, and pretty much should shame all those who have been claiming that complaints about antisemitism there have been exaggerated "Zionist" propaganda.

(2) There's a lot of crazy stuff in the Harvard report, but I can't stop thinking about this  chart used in a *required* Education School class.

It's antisemitic, yes, in suggesting that the ADL, which has been fighting white supremacy for over 100 years, is one of the worst examples of white supremacism in the United States. But it's just batshit crazy more generally, and shows the connection between nutty woke ideologies and antisemitism. The report assures us that the instructor is no longer using this chart. IMHO, anyone who thought using this chart as a serious learning tool can and likely should be fired for cause.

(3) After the Washington Free Beacon revealed blatantly illegal racial preferences at the Harvard Law Review, law review editors took action--they began to try to find and punish the leaker, while defiantly proclaiming that they don't plan to charge their day-to-day policies. Out of curiosity, I dug up Harvard's anti-retaliation policy for whistleblowers, or at least what was the policy as late as this past March. (I had to retrieve it from Archive.org). Going after the student leaker is a blatant violation of that policy. I think we're getting to the point where there is good reason to question the top HLR's editors ability to meet the character and fitness requirements of state bars, given their blatant disregard for any laws or rules that apply to them.

(4) Not being satisfied with blatantly defying both federal law and Harvard policy, the Law Review decided to award a $65,000 fellowship to a rather, umm, interesting recipient. Law review editor Ibrahim Bharmal was caught on video assaulting a Jewish Harvard student. He was prosecuted, without Harvard's cooperation, by the local DA, and a few days ago was sent to a diversion program for first-time offenders in which he will have to pick up trash and do other public service and attend an anger management class. So he wasn't convicted, but the assault is, as noted, on video. Not only did that not stop the Law Review from rewarding him with a fellowship, but he will use the fellowship to work at the antisemitic Council on Islamic Relations' especially antisemitic Los Angeles office.

(5) And speaking of Bharmal, someone at Harvard Law School decided he would make a good poster boy for its clinical programs, and last month gave him a whole page to praise both himself and the clinic he worked for on the law school website. It's almost like certain Harvard affiliates want to give the Trump administration ammunition in its war against the university.

Link contains the pyramid in #2 as well as lots of links. 

As an aside, I clicked into the report in #1.  The Executive Summary begins on page 14 and is 9 pages long, all text and no graphics.  Clearly, the academics at Harvard have never met either an executive or a summary.

Trump said today Harvard has to lose their tax exempt status. The conman who was forced to shut down his fake "university" because its operation was consumer fraud, is trying to undermine America's oldest, most prestigious, legitimate university through an abuse of presidential power.

[Hardcore troubadour 14,926]

Harvard has lost its luster. Trump U was a disgrace. Perhaps his biggest.  At least he made restitution.
