Note: Hubert has a comment about Benz in re Jews and anti-Semitism, but I don’t know if that affects how Benz characterizes Harvard.
I don’t know anything about him or his ideological commitments except what I read on the internet.

Widburg makes some good points supporting the contentions in the video by Mike Benz at miguel’s link to John Davidson’s tweet.

Stephen P. Lehotsky is the main lawyer for Harvard is a Harvard Law alum and former law clerk to Justice Scalia.

His law firm has only one non-white employee and more men than women. Under DEI rules, this firm should NOT have been hired by Harvard.

Epic hypocrites.

The issue is not that letting foreign students’ study at our universities is bad. The issue is that the universities have a duty to protect the rights of all students. The Ivies and others aren’t doing that job. They are favoring rabble rousing foreign students.

IMO, there should be a law passed directing that any foreign student that engages in illegal protests (violent, threatening, interfering with others’ rights, etc.) has forfeited the right to be here as a student.

This book, “HARVARD HATES AMERICA,” by John LeBoutillier
was written in 1978. He was a bit ahead of Allan Bloom and “The Closing of the American Mind.”

Forty-seven years of anti-American thought and actions by academics.
Like prostate cancer it has been slow growing but has now metastasized. Trump is right to push to try to stop it before it kills the nation. He has tools. Congress can pass laws, he can use the Sate Department, and DHS to control foreign student activity, and he can withhold money. May God help him and guide him

I, too, pointed out that the judge issued the TRO without hearing from the United States.

Harvard’s 14 lawyers had spent some time writing that adjective-filed Complaint and they filed it on a Friday before a holiday weekend. Very high handed.

Harvard and the other top universities are not dependent on foreign students, but as you go lower in the rankings the dependence becomes more serious, especially at state universities.

Harvard does depend on Federal grants, like any university where real research happens the university skims 30-50% and uses that to subsidize deanlets and grievance studies programs.

“You’d think the professoriate would be less other-directed than people in other occupations, but the opposite is the case.”

LOL…you would think! There’s a reason leftism is so entrenched in the faculty…they basically are all followers despite their claim that they are courageous challengers to authority. Actually, pre 9/11 there was a lot of classic liberal thinking in the faculty, post 9/11 they all became sheep.

Trump is going to win on every issue because the constitution and the public is on his side. The fed courts are so far out of their lane, the snap back is going to give them whiplash. SCOTUS and the rest of fed courts are burning their credibility and their power to the ground.

The next step is arrests for civil rights violations.
