CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 6, 2026
AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES WERE FOUNDED ON PRINCIPLES OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, THE TEACHING OF CLASSICS AND PREPARATION FOR A MEANINGFUL LIFE THAT INCLUDES JOBS WORTH HAVING.
TODAY, TOO MANY SERVE AS INDOCTRINATION CENTERS FOR FAR-LEFT IDEOLOGY AND WOKE IDEAS.
ONE OF AMERICA’S OLDEST INSTITUTIONS – HARVARD – IS FACING BACKLASH FROM ACADEMICS AND RACIAL EQUALITY ADVOCATES FOR SOLICITING $10 MILLION TO HIRE CONSERVATIVE FACULTY FOR “VIEWPOINT DIVERSITY.”
FOURTY-SEVEN PERCENT OF THE FACULTY OPPOSE THE PLAN, WHILE 31 PERCENT AGREED WITH IT. THE PRESIDENT AND PROVOST OF HARVARD ANOUNCED LAST SPRING THEY WOULD RAISE SEVERAL HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS TO HIRE FACLULTY WITH A CONSERVATIVE WORLDVIEW ACROSS THE IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL’S EXISTING DEPARTMENTS.
CAMPUS REPORTS AND OUTSIDE ANALYSTS HAVE INTERPRETED THE CAMPAIGN AS A RESPONSE TO THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, WHICH HAS INVESTIGATED THE ELITE SCHOOL FOR LIBERAL BIAS AND CUT $2.2 BILLION OF FEDERAL FUNDING TO THE UNIVERSITY.
DON’T YOU FIND IT INCONSISTENT THAT HARVARD HAS PRACTICED RACIAL DIVERSITY BUT OPPOSED IDEOLOGICAL DIVERSITY…UNTIL NOW? I’M CAL THOMAS.
