Harvard's president says the school will 'not compromise' with the Trump admin

1) I would say protecting our rights, requires Govt to run society...Govt provides us with law enforcement to do those things...Govt provides us with a legislature, to pass the laws...those legislatures are made up of people we elect....thus maintaining the power with the people.

And I would say you're dead wrong, unless you just want totalitarian government. Which I think much of MAGA actually favors.

2) You want to cut those programs completely?

Yes.

I think that's rather silly. They do a lot of good ...

Good? According to whom? Was promoting "woke" doing a lot of good?

How's it pathetic for Govt to try and leverage someone or some place?

It's pathetic from a conservative, limited government perspective.

Does Govt not have an interest in making sure that Jewish students are threatened and harassed?

Threats and harassment are certainly an issue for government to address. But it's a law enforcement issue, and mostly local. Threats and harassment are already illegal.

Or that women aren't discriminated against?

The government shouldn't be telling people how they can discriminate.

 

[Correll]

Fine. So

1. Cut all fed money.

2. Target them with civil rights violations as they discriminate against white people in admissions and hiring and promotions. FINE THE FUCK OUT OF THEM, till the school is forced to stop discrimination, or the school is a collection of ruins. Either way works for me.

 

[Zincwarrior]

No, they were not "involved"

his wife was.

1) how is that totalarian?
2) wow, what else should we cut?
3) no promoting woke was a bad idea. According to me. For example, I thought that raising the drinking age to 21 was a good idea, science has shown drinking at a young age leads to a lot of problems because the child's brain isn't fully developed, so I thought it was smart for the Federal govt to leveage states to do that, by withholding fed funds for highways
4) how so?
5) it is a law enforcement issue, and it's a state and federal law enforcment issue, hence why we have federal laws against it, like the Civil Rights Act
6) really? wow, so you think we should abolish the Civil Rights Act? How very demklan of you

 

[Rawley]

his wife was.

Are you going to explain your argument, or are you going to tell me to look it up, again?

 

[Zincwarrior]

You don't know about Thomas' wife's activities at the end of the Trump admin? wow ok.

 

[Scoutster]

Hopefully, Trump burns that place to the ground!

 

[Correll]

Hopefully, Trump burns that place to the ground!

Agreed.

 

[Rawley]

You don't know about Thomas' wife's activities at the end of the Trump admin? wow ok.

I don't know anything about her actions that would require Thomas to recuse himself from any case before the court. And apparently neither do you.

That explains much.

Aint that a shame, Celia .

Cancers need removing and removal is precisely what is going to happen, however much the little Piggy Winkles squeal .

Same will happen to people like you as the year develops --- the Cancer that you are part of , and is infested with lefty Troll Bots, will be cut out .

More as support for decency and honesty as for any other reason .
One example of claimed Fascism that will have near unanimous ground support .

Call it Hitlerism in reverse if it helps you feel morally vindicated .
But , Tough .

LOL law professors sought out by NPR. No thanks.

Except we're not looking at surgery. Dr. Trump is just randomly stabbing patients he doesn't like.

“The head of Harvard University doubled down on his defiance against the Trump administration Wednesday, saying the Ivy League school would not compromise on certain issues despite the federal government’s threat to freeze more than $2 billion in funding.”

Harvard's president says the school will 'not compromise' on its rights with the Trump admin

In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Alan Garber doubled down on his defiance and said the school had "no choice" but to sue the federal government and reject its demands.

This is the essence of fascism: to attack and threaten colleges and universities because they appropriately refuse to accommodate the racism, bigotry, and hate of the authoritarian Trump regime.

Of course not. They are liberal DEI anti-Trump and antisemite and pro-Hamas through and through. So, there's no reason they can't just use their 50 billion dollar endowment for things and forgo funds from the federal government.

A standard way of initiating debate and investigation .
Much better than sermonising or pontificating .

And simple Troll Bot types simply cannot handle the unpredictable .
All Chapter One stuff for Adepts .

 

[JGalt]

It bullshit regardless. Republicans are proving that they're no better than Democrats.

Who wants to be "better" than Democrats? I just want to see their party's infrastructure and funding destroyed.

Fascism was never ended by kindness, ya know.
