The Harvard Crimson published an editorial urging conservatives not to apply to Harvard if they intend to criticize the university down the line for political points.
The editorial, titled “Warning: Do Not Enroll,” denigrates famous conservatives who graduated from Harvard and later sharply — and perhaps hypocritically — complained about the university’s liberal ideology, including former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, and Fox News commentator Bill O’Reilly.
“If we could have spoken to these three men, we would have told them never to come to Cambridge,” wrote the staff of the Crimson. “We at The Crimson urge anyone who plans on one day scoring political points by maligning Harvard to neither apply, enroll, nor graduate from this fine institution.”
All three of the figures mentioned in the editorial have frequently and publicly criticized the political environment at Harvard. Cruz recently commented that during his time on campus, some members of the faculty were “Marxists who believed in … overthrowing the United States government.”
And Romney during the 2012 presidential campaign attacked President Barack Obama for spending too much time at Harvard — even though the former Massachusetts governor attended the Ivy League university even longer than the president did, earning both a J.D. and M.B.A. from its law and business schools.
But the Crimson editorial may inadvertently support some conservatives’ assertions about the liberal campus’ hostility toward conservatives.
“Harvard liberals sure are an accepting bunch,” wrote Nathan Harden, editor of The College Fix. “I wonder where anyone ever got the idea that Harvard was hopelessly biased?”
The overwhelming majority of reader comments on the editorial are negative, criticizing the Crimson for being “over-sensitive, always-offended, anti-free speech Harvard liberals.”
Don't send my boy to Harvard, a dying mother said.
Don't send my boy to USC, I'd rather he were dead.
But send my boy to Oxy, 'tis better than Cornell;
And rather than Pomona, I'd see my boy in...SCRIPPS!
In Nazi Germany if you wanted to better yourself, you had to be a member of the Nazi party in good standing....
Staffing the Harvard Crimson is a hobby for rich, snotty kids who want to pad out their CVs in order to get into a prestigious grad school.
As for their opinions, they mean zilch. Zero. Nada.
Fine with me, now go try to run a school with Liberal Donation funding. I imagine it will work about as well as liberal radio stations.
Yes, The Party of Tolerance and Openness strikes again.
Why would anyone want to go to Harvard anymore anyway? It’s only being propped up by past glory and has since joined the ranks of the NY Times.
RE: Why would anyone want to go to Harvard anymore anyway?
I say for the friends and contacts you can potentially make while studying there. That’s what these Ivies are mainly good for.
Old Boy’s club.

“. Cruz recently commented that during his time on campus, some members of the faculty were “Marxists who believed in … overthrowing the United States government.””
I didn’t go to Harvard, but I did go to ESU, and I dealt with the SAME BUNCH and I got to know them and went to their meetings. The PROBLEM is that 95% of conservatives don’t understand just how much PURE EVIL is in these people - but Cruz obviously does, which explains a WHOLE LOT about how he’s handling himself in the Senate.
But, again, his ‘friends’ in the Republican Party are simply UNABLE to believe him...as they haven’t seen it first-hand, like Cruz and myself.
