    Yep.

    But no matter how “tough” they were to appease Biden’s admin and their own donors, it’s not enough for the rightwing.

    It’s the base reason you can’t meet fascists halfway.

    They fought against free speech and watched their students be abused, and now they’re getting shit for not going further.

    It’s literally the plot to First They Came For

      Its the students themselves who are criminally conservative, in addition to the schools administrative hierarchy promoting far-right neo-feudalism and calling it capitalism.

      Rape, assault, and battery are the accepted norm among the Harvard student body.

      For example:

        Today, a university-wide email went out from Harvard President Drew Faust detailing the initial results of a survey completed by Harvard students which asked about individual experiences with sexual assault and campus perceptions of sexual assault.

        You find things where you look for them…

        Of all the schools surveyed, Harvard had the highest participation rate: 53% of all degree-seeking students across Harvard schools responded. This was significantly higher than the 19% average across all the schools surveyed.

        And you only find them when people feel confident and safe enough to speak up.

        You seem to be arguing for the trump/RFK method where you don’t count things and then deny they happened…

          Ty for grabbing the context for me. Yeah, I think it’s also fair to say there are literally criminally conservative ideals in some of the student body based on the survey. Not enough to condem the entire student body, but I think their point is that those ideals already exist within Harvard, so the point of political repression/reprogramming is moot. At least, that’s how I look at it.
