A petition circulating at Harvard University to prevent Trump administration officials from stepping foot on campus is getting mixed reviews from a range of students, showing that not all those attending the prestigious college are in line with the progressive agenda of the petition's organizers, FOX Business has learned.
Despite apparently getting the thumbs up by most of the liberal arts school, students at the Kennedy School and the renowned Harvard Business School were less enthusiastic.
The petition organizers then changed the wording of the document from an outright ban of Trump administration officials speaking, teaching or attending the university to holding these officials "accountable" before they deal with Harvard in the aforementioned capacities, people with direct knowledge of the matter say.
The petitions are an outgrowth of a movement started by far-left progressives like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who began prodding businesses and academia to blacklist anyone who worked in the Trump administration.
But the effort to blacklist Trump officials has received some backlash not just from conservative commentators but also some civil libertarians as a modern form of McCarthyism.
Still, the student councils that are voting on these petitions often reflect a far-left bias and they are becoming increasingly powerful at some big colleges forcing administrators to censor conservatives from speaking and teaching on campuses across the country.

“...forcing administrators to censor conservatives from speaking and teaching on campuses across the country.”
How does this work? I mean what would HAPPEN to said Administrator should they allow a Conservative or maybe anyone other than a far Left liberal to speak? Do they lose their job? Will they be executed? What?
Schwerner, Goodman, and Chaney weren't killed up in Ohio where they trained. The Democrats in Mississippi waited until they got into the kill zone.

McCarthy was proven correct by Soviet archives. An inconvenient truth our friends on the Left still will not accept.
This effort is more akin to Mao’s Cultural Revolution.
If I were the president of Harvard, I’d announce that I’ll be keeping those names on record and holding THEM accountable.
They would be held responsible for the violence that ensues, whether they deserve it or not.
I don’t know if they would be fired but if it happened several times they would be held accountable in some way.
And my mother thought and thinks college is the greatest achievement of her children.
and she also went to nursing school when my father died.
My father was an immigrant and my mother’s parents were immigrants from Italy. It was her dream for all the kids to have college degrees.
Now it’s a nightmare in many cases.
Professor Nicholas Christakis, and his wife Erika lost their jobs at Yale for far less.
Gen Z may just be seeing through the progressive bs, indoctrination and irrationality.
And, “the establishment” is now progressives, and youts love to buck the establishment.
That is a completely relevant graphic you posted there, FRiend.
All Leftists are Maoists at heart. Scratch the surface of a Leftist, find a Maoist and murderous tyrant underneath.
Observe the recent Zoom meeting with MI GOP Board of Canvassers who were reluctant to certify fraudulent votes. Some guy started providing names and addresses and the name of the school which their children attended, and encouraged racial violence against the children.
The Left is the devil.
> the progressive agenda of the petition’s organizers <
Wait. What? This agenda is not “progressive”. It’s fascist. Silence all opposition!
The mere I use of the word “progressive” here make the authors enablers of fascism. It’s a pity - and a tragedy - that they do not see that.
It's the lawyers.! It's the stinking lawyers.!!
They have become completely convinced that they OWN the country.. Any and ALL elected posts in Washington DC is THEIR turf and the common man has NO place in it.!
That's why Trump, the big business man, and ANYBODY like him, is so despised in DC...
That bears repeating..
“The Left is the devil.”
I use MOL — Minions Of Lucifer.
“Demons” works, too. More traditional and Biblical.
God is. Lucifer is.
Good is. Evil is.
Angels are. Demons are.
Heaven is. Hell is.
As was, is now.
JOE McCarthy was a GREAT AMERICAN.
Harvard College Lawes of 1642
[from New England's First Fruits; emp. mine]
1. When any Schollar is able to Read Tully or such like classicall Latine Author ex tempore, and make and speake true Latin in verse and prose suo (ut aiunt) Marte, and decline perfectly the paradigmes of Nounes and verbes in the Greeke tongue, then may hee bee admitted into the College, nor shall any claime admission before such qualifications. [like modern SAT scores, such a requirement indicated the level of education one had received, and achieved. This served practical purposes of course, as copies of Scripture and other classics were also still mostly in Greek.]
2. Every one shall consider the mayne End of his life and studyes, to know God and Jesus Christ which is Eternall life. Joh. 17.3. [Today, personal as well as intellectual ignorance of the Biblical Christ abounds among Harvard students.]
3. Seeing the Lord giveth wisdome, every one shall seriously by prayer in secret, seeke wisdome of him. prov. 2.2,3 etc. [Instead, Harvard today militates against such Biblical wisdom , and peity. Today, if any activity is done "in secret," it is fornication (1 out 4 women have an STD).
4. Every one shall so exercise himselfe in reading the Scriptures twice a day that they bee ready to give an account of their proficiency therein, both in theoreticall observations of Language and Logicke, and in practicall and spirituall truthes as their tutor shall require according to their severall abilities respectively, seeing the Entrance of the word giveth light etc. psal. 119, 130. [The goal here was to produce "able ministers of the New Testament" (2Cor. 3:6), "rightly dividing the word of truth" (2Tim. 2:15). Today, the Bible is almost wholly abandoned as the literal and authoritative Word of God, and the very deceptions Harvard was founded to prevent abound therein!]
5. In the publicke Church assembly they shall carefully shunne all gestures that shew any contempt or neglect of Gods ordinances and bee ready to give an account to their tutors of their profiting and to use the helpes of Storing themselves with knowledge, as their tutours shall direct them, and all Sophisters and Bachellors (until themselves make common place) shall publiquely repeate Sermons in the Hall whenver they are called forth. [Rather than this being the goal of Harvard, the inculcation of unBibical worldviews is fostered, and rare is the professor who would dare declare the Biblical gospel and morality, or the student who could or would do likewise.]
6. they shall eschew all prophanation of Gods holy name, attributes, word, ordinances, and times of worship, and study with Reverence and love carefully to reteine God and his truth in their minds. [This is of little to no concern in Harvard today, rather the "faith once delivered" (Jude v.3) is little esteemed, and if one comes into Harvard with such faith, he will be sorely challanged to keep it! Sports, college parties, etc., not Bible studies, are what students mostly flock to.]
7. they shall honour as their parents, Magistrates, Elders, tutours and aged persons, by beeing silent in their presence (except they bee called on to answer) not gainesaying shewing all those laudable expressions of honour and Reverence in their presence, that are in uses as bowing before them standing uncovered or the like. [Rather than promoting reverence toward authority, Harvard has joined the bulk of other "Intititutions of Higher Learning" in fostering rebellion toward those who represent just authority, under the guise of protesting injustice, and in such protests reveal their own dearth of wisdom which usually comes with age.
8. they shall be slow to speake, and eschew not onely oathes, Lies, and uncertaine Rumours, but likewise all idle, foolish, bitter scoffing, frothy wanton words and offensive gestures. [Today, if one would dare uphold Bible truth and morality at Harvard, such as reproves the like of irreverend Peter Gomes (Harvard's past homosexual minister), he/she will see quickly how the above law has been abandoned].
I’m sure Harvard has no trouble with accepting donations from evil capitalist alumni.
I say, “No sane person should set foot on the campus of Harvard University. It is nothing but a propaganda mill for communists.”
SHUT HARVARD DOWN as an ongoing threat to the republic of the United States of America and the guaranteed liberties of Americans under the U.S. Constitution.
Ban Harvard graduates, including its law school graduates, from all employment in state or federal government, including jobs at ALL levels of public teaching.”
“Harvard” has become synonymous with “brainwashing.”
Look at these radical tyrants trying to run roughshod over our liberty.
Harvard University is one of the most DANGEROUS institutions in the United States.
I wonder why people donate to these universities?
Notice that the only fat guy in that poster is Mao.
