One can only hope.
Harvard just another school of the past now just a reeducation center.
The Harvard Schools of Business, Law, and Government should be lain waste and the “professors” driven naked into a howling wasteland.
L
We should make these universities responsible for the student loans that they profited from for worthless degrees in useless “studies”.
American black ancestors were enslaved because they unequal and inferior to those who captured them and sold them as slaves.
Is that critical race theory or historical interpretation of culture?
Harvard Law School ranking
Harvard University is ranked No. 3 in Best Law Schools. Schools are ranked according to their performance across a set of widely accepted indicators of excellence.
Or so writes the elitists who create the rankings. By the way, the school that gave us Billy and Hilly Clinton ranks no. 1.
Liberalism has infested and laid waste to the former excellence of Harvard.
RE: Liberalism has infested and laid waste to the former excellence of Harvard.
The irony !! Harvard College ( now University ) was founded to train Christian Ministers of the Gospel.

Well, at least this same school also gave us the great Clarence Thomas, so there could be a tiny flicker of light in the darkness.

That explains the cult-like fervor with which that premise is protected by CRT's self-appointed keepers. Like all Marxism it is dependent on outrage and hatred, not evidence, to support a creaky logical structure. The upshot of that is that it is not particularly subject to reason, which conveniently becomes a tool of - you guessed it - the oppressor class. The circularity of this argument is not important, the outrage is.
Marx recognized that oppressive governments tend to get overthrown. The libertarian approach is to attempt to make governments as little oppressive as possible, the authoritarian approach is to make them impossible to overthrow. There is nothing about Marxism that is not oppressive - the phrase "dictatorship of the proletariat" means precisely that, and redistributive efforts are always oppressive toward their sources of material. Such governments trend toward the authoritarian because they have to. Nearly all of Critical Theory and its offshoots in Critical Race Theory and Critical Legal Theory do not deal with decreasing oppression at all, merely redistributing it. Those few among its adherents who feel their positions secure enough (and no one is more secure than a tenured professor) will be candid about that. "Shameless" might be more accurate.
Yalies admit that Thomas was a mistake. His was an EEO placement that has not been repeated.
Woodrow Wilson who screwed up Europe and the mideast for over 100 years with his pointy headed idealism and paternalism was from Princeton but that goes to the essence of what Dr. Sowell is saying, just a slight technical distinction.
“Harvard College ( now University ) was founded to train Christian Ministers of the Gospel.“
As were many others.
Liberalism/collectivism destroys anything it touches.
That’s why I call it’s supporters regressives instead of progressives.
Yup the little First Congregational Church in my home town in MA, always had pastors from Harvard back in the day.
Only intellectuals could be this stupid and vicious.
Very good points Bill. Always a pleasure to read your posts. Any study or discipline with the word “Critical” in the title is suspect and ironic... they can’t even critical of themselves in the most common sense rudimentary way. Harvard has gone from the Christian religion to the Marxist religion in one foul swoop. They both promise salvation but not, as Marxism wants, at the expense of your mind. Christ even held a job, whereas Marx never had a job and sponged off of his relatives. He only owned one pair of pants his whole life and one of his relatives was known to have said, “Less talk of capital and more effort trying to achieve some.” He is certainly not a good role model. Any yet Harvard embraces this form of Marxism as if the Cold War never happened. It’s despicable.
On top of everything Marx cheated on his wife with a household servant and never paid her years of wages. Talk about exploitation of the working class! But the world has flipped, and up is down these days. They have done to him what they have done to Che Guevara and made him into a poster boy and t shirt for the cause. Reality is out the window as usual.
CRT is simply Marxism with race substituted for class.
