The war with Hamas must be a moment of reckoning for elite American universities

I have kept a low profile here about my educational background, but it is confession time.

I am a Harvard grad from many decades ago.

Anecdote time:

It is my first day as a freshman.

I am just moving in to my dorm and across the hall I see a young man.

I walk up to him, shake his hand, and introduce myself.

He looks at me with a Charles Manson stare and announces:

“I am a Marxist.”

I knew I would love it there.

Ah! Now you're out of the closet, which reminds me of a fond memory from my first days at Yale.

Scrawled on the sidewalk were the names of "FAMOUS QUEERS," among them Abraham Lincoln and a host of other not-gay people.

I was interested in Russian languages and literatures among other things. The degree to which I later learned I was taught false histories at Yale helped cement my 'conservatism.'

Unintended consequences.

By the way, isn't it an Harvard grad? Ha!
