Something we’ve talked about before, is Harvard has decided to fight because it’s getting cheers within its bubble.But what are they fighting for?They’re fighting for the right to continue to discriminate. They’re fighting for the right to allow hoodlums to run to rampage on the campus harassing Jewish students. This is what they’re fighting for. They’re not fighting for anything that’s worth fighting for.They’ve dug this grave for themselves.Think about it.You say Harvard has been doing this for a long time. I don’t think people realize how long they’ve been doing this.In the 1920s, they invented the quota system for admissions to keep Jews out with the whole person view, I forget what they call it. That whole thing of moving away from objective measures like test scores and considering other things was developed by Harvard in the 1920s to keep the number of Jews lower, to reduce the number of Jews.They have been a pox on our educational system at least since the 1920s.They then took that model that they used against Jews, and used it against Asians and Whites in the affirmative action field. The Harvard model in admissions is exactly what the Supreme Court said was illegal and unlawful, and they’ve been doing it since the 1920s.That’s the Harvard attitude.They think they’re above everybody else. And I went there, so I know it, that that’s the attitude.They truly believe that they know better and they’re immune to accountability, and now they’re finding out otherwise.
