The number of times a week now I have to correct the wild shit people are saying about Harvard, which apparently is a magical perfect land full of unicorns and honey, not a giant financial entity that was until a few days ago holding photos of enslaved people against the will of their descendants

Harvard is not the bastion of "liberal education" that people are making it out to be. It never has been.

Let’s hope that something very good comes of all of this. Harvard’s wrongs do not make the WH traitor felon conman right.

Harvard is where people like JFK Jr are made to look intelligent. Their skills are unmatched.

…or the fact that for every exceptional student that passes through Harvard, there’s an offsetting entitled class wallet baby who couldn’t have eked out that C- in Economics 100 without three tutors and an exam coach.

Like, isn’t Harvard a cornerstone of our white supremacist institutions…because it is, itself, built by & for white supremacy? I know it has worked hard to improve its *image* & demographic profile but still

thank you. for keeping it real - although i guess i can understand people wanting to grab ANY good news about resistance in this administration. I understand it but we need to stick to 'reality' and question everything.

I’m glad they are fighting the regime, but it is of course motivated by their own self-interest. And it is a sad but unsurprising thing for me to learn from you that they are keeping precious artifacts from their rightful custodians.

Harvard will only save Harvard, and maybe higher-education, & research, & DEI in college admissions - just maybe. Yes, they’re rich & powerful (and flawed). But they can still lose. Would that leave you or I better off? To fight the most powerful institution in the world, we all need allies.

Okay, they are scum but, do you think any president should be able to get away with what he’s done? If taking down shitty institutions is the way to go, why is he still president!

Do you really think what tRump is doing is because of any of the things you are mentioning? Sure they aren't perfect and some of that stuff is horrible.. but why treat ALL students from other countries the way they're being treated..you sound like the sane splaining msm.

It’s not about whether or not Harvard is a pristinely innocent institution. It’s not. It’s about a rogue, wannabe fascist dictator trying to lean on a university, forcing it into submission. So many other institutions have already bent the knee. We have to draw a line somewhere, so it’s here & now.

Hence my depression. On the one hand I see glimpses of class consciousness rising and more people realizing what a scam our country is, otoh most seem to think everything would be scam free rainbows if only Trump hadn't come along. Tells me they won't fight for better at all once he's gone, ca 2021

Higher ed has been so fraught for so long on so many levels...the conversation now being reduced to a simplistic us-versus-them is just terribly frustrating. So many ways that Trump makes us all stupider.

I'm not a big Harvard guy, but holding photos of enslaved people against the will of their descendants is okay with me. Like holding photos of Auschwitz victims, alive and dead, against the wishes of their defendants. Or Native Americans, or Palestinians, etc. . . .

I know zip about Harvard but a long ago Twitterite described it as a hedge fund with an educational component and out here on the periphery looking in that seems at least glancing-blow accurate.

That's what happens to liberals when the G0P attacks anything: they're reflexively outraged as that target instantly becomes infallible & precious. Having zero actual principles means they can only care (or pretend to care, in the case of trans people) about what's disliked by those *they* dislike.
