Yale Law School to create the ‘Hillary Rodham Clinton Fund for the Public Interest’
Washington Examiner ^ | April 6, 2018 | by John Patrick

Only a couple of weeks after former 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton offended millions of Americans by calling Trump voters “backwards,” Yale Law School has announced the creation of a fund in her honor.

According to the Yale Daily News, several former classmates of Clinton, LAW ‘73, have successfully convinced Yale Law School’s development office to create the “Hillary Rodham Clinton Fund for the Public Interest,” which will provide financial support to recent Yale graduates for year-long fellowships following graduation.

The project was spearheaded by Rosalind Fink, LAW ’72, a former classmate of Clinton who expressed a desire to promote Clinton’s “legacy” while also hoping to recruit friends of the Clinton's to open up their checkbooks and contribute money to the fund.

“[The] idea was to connect her legacy to the Law School’s increasing model of public service due to clinics,” Fink said. “So we’re hoping that friends of the Law School and friends of the Clinton's will contribute to the fund.”

The real name is the “Hillary Rodham Clinton fund for Self-Interest”.

Truth in advertising.

“Public Interest” — What a joke...she has ZERO interest in the “public interest” of the basket of deplorables, red states, flyovers, etc.

YES! And it is all these radical left wing academic camps have to turn to. The general public has their number now, for the most part. They know it. And this is one of the reasons they hate Trump...because he has accomplished an outstanding expose’ of their tyranny. They are losing now, and that will continue. Nothing reasonable at all about the radical left Marxists.

Yale Founded to Fight Liberalism

Dan Graves, MSL

Yale Founded to Fight Liberalism

It may come as surprise that when Yale University was founded on this day, October 16, 1701, it was by Congregationalist ministers unhappy with the growing liberalism at Harvard. It wasn't called Yale then, of course, but rather the Collegiate School. The ministers donated forty books and declared their objective, that "Youth may be instructed in the Arts and Sciences who through the blessing of God may be fitted for Publick employment both in Church and Civil State."

The huge campus of today, with over one hundred buildings was not conceived. In fact, the first classes were held in the residence of Rev. Abraham Pierson, its first rector. Not until 1745 was the school moved to New Haven and renamed Yale.

The name change was in honor of Elihu Yale, a successful merchant who made a donation of goods valued at $2,800. This was equivalent to the annual income of about fourteen medical doctors. The purpose of the renamed school was "To plant and under ye Divine blessing to propagate in this Wilderness, the blessed Reformed, Protestant Religion, in ye purity of its Order and Worship."

Students were required to "live religious, godly and blameless lives according to the rules of God's Word, diligently reading the Holy Scriptures, the fountain of light and truth; and constantly attend upon all the duties of religion, both in public and secret." Prayer was a requirement. Furthermore every student was instructed to "...consider the main end of his study to wit to know God in Jesus Christ" and "to lead a Godly, sober life."

For many years these high ideals were followed. One faculty member wrote around 1800, "It would delight your heart to see how the trophies of the cross are multiplied in this institution. Yale College is a little temple: prayer and praise seem to be the delight of the greater part of the students."

But fathers cannot ensure the fidelity of their sons. Today Yale's original ideals have faded. The school is a liberal institution with utterances and actions that are politically correct. One suspects that students are less likely to pray persistently than to engage in political protests.

The Clintons will determine what charity their friends will donate money to.

Okay. I'll start.

Lesson 1: How to live on other people's money.

Lesson 2: Silence your critics, permanently.

Lesson 3: Lying 101.

I guess there’s an exceedingly obvious implied barf alert in the title, so you don’t get dinged for not including it.

Not a good role model for a law school, IMO.

Slut-shaming an adolescent rape victim so her pedophile client got off scot-free.

Kicked off the legal team investigating the Watergate scandal for lying.

Witholding critical evidence in a criminal investigation (Rose Law Firm). After the case was closed, the billing records magically reappeared on her bedside table.

Having to surrender her law license in a deal to avoid prosecution.
