HARVARD'S BIG SELL-OUT

September 7, 2002 -- STUDENTS streaming back to the hallowed halls of Harvard this fall will find a few new faces: Last week, Harvard Law School lifted a 20-year-old policy banning military recruiters on its campus, enacted to protest the ban on homosexual soldiers.

It took from 1996 until now to enforce a Federal law?

Hmmmm, what's changed since then?

You hit the nail on the head, Lonesome!

Meanwhile, we now know what kind of men run Harvard. Dean Robert Clark and President Lawrence Summers are men who think gay rights are morally more important than national defense, even in wartime, but that money for Harvard is the most important principle of all.

This statement hits the sickening nail on the head.

[groanup]

"Faced with losing either its nondiscrimination principles or $328 million in federal funding, Harvard caved"

$328 MILLION? TO A SCHOOL THAT HAS ONE OF THE LARGEST ENDOWMENTS IN THE COUNTRY? WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE THAT THIS MONEY IS NOT SPENT ON INNER-CITY SCHOOLS?

You're right. It's completely outrageous. The last thing I want my tax dollars spent for is some over-educated, argumentative, supercilious, jerk Harvard lawyer.

The Leftist domination of education is the result of Right Flight from all levels of the education hierarchy, just like the ceding of intact cities across the country is the result of White Flight. Is the Right White the problem? Does the Right White prefer to run rather than fight....and then bitch about it when the damage is done? Is that what it's all about?

I guess Janet didn't take that law too seriously, and John is now getting around to it...

You guys might check out Grove City College in Grove City, PA to get their ideas on accepting Federal funds and the controls which that acceptance implies (and enforces).

can you further explain ?

I suppose the federal millions supports research and minority aid. Harvard has an endowment of about 18 billion, from which 30% of the operating budget is funded. Quality research at Harvard would take a rapid downturn without federal funding. But, it's my impression that Summer would have invited campus reqruiting even without the funding excuse.

Harvard has become truly despicable, as note this thread from the other day: Race Traitor--Abolishing White Race.

They have a huge endowment, so one wonders why they even need Federal Funds. They are probably using them to promote something very unholy. Remember that it was the Fabian takeover of Harvard in the early days of the Twentieth Century, that started the great move Left in American Academia.

There was a time when a Harvard education was respected; but not in the lifetime of over half of all Americans now living.

It is still a certainty that a Harvard grad will tell you that they went to Harvard in the first ten minutes of any conversation.

To which I usually reply to the effect that I would be very careful to whom I admitted as much.

When Kennedy was President, the best Harvard joke around concerned the father who went up to Cambridge to pick up his son, and stopped by to ask the Dean how the boy had done. The Dean told him that he had some good news and some bad news, and asked which he would like first.

"Give me the bad news," replied the father.

"Your son is now a confirmed Homosexual," the Dean told him.

"My God! Just what is the good news?"

"They elected him Prom Queen!"

The usual comment about Harvard in that era, was "Go to Harvard and turn Left." But it has apparently been getting steadily worse. From recent posts here, some start out on the far Left and graduate to full blown sociopaths.

Frankly, the name as a brand is badly overexposed. The game will be up for the whole bunch in not too many more years.

The ironic thing for me personally is that this good midwest family sent a sister to Boston to fight the good fight with only a Big Ten education. I've tried to lure her back to Chicago many times.

If your sister can just keep her common sense, and learn to laugh at the poseurs' cocked eyebrows and supercilious attitudes, she could do just fine with that Big Ten education. Not that the Big Ten schools are not also corrupted by the Fabian mindset fanning out across the Continent from the intellectual cesspools in the East.

Some of the worst garbage spun by the Leftists in the Life Sciences at Harvard and Columbia is required reading for students in some State Universities. For example, a son of mine at one of our Ohio Universities was required to read a book by Gordon Allport on the nature of "prejudice." That fact prompted me to introduce Gordon Allport to Conservatives not acquainted with the man, as one of the examples in the essay, Myths & Myth Makers In American "Higher" Education.

To a one-worlder--and former Communist fellow-traveller--like Allport, family loyalty, religion and patriotism, were all "prejudices" that interfered with the enlightenment, he sought. Taxpayers should not be promoting his work, but without knowing it, they are.

Here's another stray fact. I graduated UofM some time ago and married an OSU grad. I know the great state of Ohio quite well and I know that there are several excellent schools there.
