Harvard U: No Republicans or Conservatives and (Few) White Christians Need Apply

(Excerpt From the Article)

......Hut diversity at Harvard obviously does not reflect the diversity of America. It just mirrors the leftwing worldview. In this view white Christians are a demonized group and discriminating against them is "social justice." White Christians - and I say this as a Jew myself - built Harvard and created America's freedoms. But while white Christians make up 73% of the American population, they are only 17% of the population at Harvard. Like the exclusion of conservatives from Harvard's faculty, this does not happen by accident but by ideological design.

I recently commissioned a survey of the attitudes of Ivy League professors. (Frank Luntz conducted the poll for the Center for the Study of Popular Culture.) The results were interesting if not a surprise. Only 3% of Ivy League professors identified themselves as Republicans, and only 6% as conservatives. Double those figures. Triple them. What they still reveal is a national academic disgrace. Not even Senator McCarthy was able to repress ideas he opposed as effectively as Harvard's hiring committees have suppressed the conservative viewpoints they despise and fear......

I wouldn't be surprised if the major ethnic group in the U.S. (i.e. non-jewish caucasians) is vastly underrepresented at Harvard and other "Ivy League" schools. If this is true, what is the reason for this underrepresentation.

Have any readers had their application rejected by an "Ivy League" school?

Not even Senator McCarthy was able to repress ideas he opposed as effectively as Harvard's hiring committees have suppressed the conservative viewpoints they despise and fear......

Those that McCarthy tried to 'suppress' knew that the key to the future was our youth.
