CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 16, 2025
HARVARD UNIVERSITY, AMERICA’S OLDEST COLLEGE, HAS REJECTED CALLS BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THAT THE SCHOOL YIELD TO GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT AND MAKE SWEEPING CHANGES, INCLUDING ADDRESSING ANTISEMETISM, DEI, ADMISSION PRACTICES WHICH HAVE INCLUDED RACIAL QUOTAS THAT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST WHITE STUDENTS.
HARVARD RECEIVES AS MUCH AS $9 BILLION IN FEDERAL GRANTS, EVEN THOUGH THE IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL HAS A $53 BILLION ENDOWMENT. THE ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCED MONDAY NIGHT IT IS FREEZING $2 BILLION OF THAT MONEY.
ATTORNEYS FOR HARVARD SAID THE SCHOOL WILL “CONTINUE TO WORK TO COMBAT ANTISEMITISM,” WHATEVER THAT MEANS. AND OF COURSE THEY TROT OUT THE “ACADEMIC FREEDOM” LINE AND SAY HARVARD IS A PRIVATE INSTITUTION. YES, IT IS, BUT WHEN ANYONE TAKES GOVERNMRNT MONEY, THE GOVERNMENT INEVITABLY COMES IN AND WANTS TO SEE WHAT IS BEING DONE WITH IT.
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS LOOKING AT A LOT OF THESE SCHOOLS THAT TEACH LEFT-WING IDEOLOGY AND IT SHOULD. THIS IS WHERE SECULAR PROGRESSIVES ARE MADE. THEY ARE THE ONES WE SEE IN THE STRTEETS WITH THEIR NICELY MADE SIGNS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
