What is most disturbing about this is that it isn’t a one-off mis-statement by a confused individual, it was a position taken by three presidents of what used to be considered the best universities in the country: Harvard President Claudine Gay, University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill and MIT President Sally Kornbluth. Three very progressive women occupying the apex of the Long March Through The Institutions defending actions seldom seen since 1938 Nazi Germany. I’m not sure “progressive” is even applicable to this sort of historical regression. They all ought to resign in shame but none of them will.

These have not been good schools in a long long time.
This isn’t a six week wonder of a change.
For at least 30 years these institutions have preyed upon our culture. They have demanded monies grants tuitions and tax breaks.
They have seen themselves as leaders and moral centers.
They have inflicted everything from Peter Singer to Hamas to gender theory and transgender on our culture.
This has been a long time in the making.
Our education systems are a shame to the world.
They need to be taken apart.
The endowments and buildings need to be sold to begin paying for the student loan scams they have perpetrated. Their instructor class need to be terminated and shamed.
New independent schools will rise that will make it a mission to teach. Like Hillsdale and UATX.
This won’t fix itself.
