One of the lingering controversies over here in Hungary is the actions Prime Minister Viktor Orban took several years ago to kick Central European University out of the country. (Snip) All of this is preface for asking: is it time to shut down Harvard University? It is beyond dispute that Harvard is an adjunct of the Democratic Party, with something like 95 percent of faculty political contributions going to Democrats, and almost no political diversity among its faculty. But in the last 48 hours Harvard has exposed itself as a nest of rabid anti-Semites, with 57 student groups (so far) taking the side of Hamas against Israel, and blaming Israel

that would only be for openers - then you'd have to close down almost the whole of the California state system, the University of Chicago, then the whole of the Ivy League system, then the whole of the New York state system and on and on and on
it wouldn't be difficult for anyone who has been watching the news to see where all the dissension and anti- conservative, anti-Republican dialogue comes from but the problem is ... people have to stop thinking that their children MUST have a college education to live and survive in this world, not true, some of the most affluent people I know of are in :"the trades" and "work" for a living, making a college "education" a farcical unnecessary joke

At some point they've got enough money. They didn't build that! Redistribute their endowment to all the loser students who can't pay their student loans because they got degrees in Indigenous Lesbian Interpretive Dance.

As a Harvard alumni '79 I took my diploma off the wall years ago. It's in a drawer in my storage closet.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it yet again; education is not synonymous with intelligence. One doesn’t need to display a piece of paper to share how smart they are.

That would be cruel. There needs to be some place that people who can't get into MIT can go.

Harvard died ages ago, and its corpse has had over a century of the Weekend At Bernie's treatment on the banks of the Charles River. The Marxists who assassinated the august place of higher learning turned it into a place of socio-political indoctrination, devoid of any authentic scholarship.

These “student groups” are Palestinian operatives and enemies of the country! Every member of these hateful groups should have their citizenship revoked and sent to the Gaza Strip immediately! They can then commiserate with cockroaches of their kind and reap the whirlwind that they have unleashed!

Whaat? Close Haavahd Yahd? Whatever would we do for jokes about education thereafter? Yes, I know the Clinton's attended Yale and some other no-name institutions, but I'm talking Haavahd like it was a real school.

#5, MIT went woke years ago and is not much better. My father and grandfather both graduated MIT with degrees in chemical engineering. I imagine that they are both spinning in their graves.

These Harvard students are supposedly going to be future leaders. The US is completely doomed. Every member of these student groups need to have their name recorded so they will not be able to be elected or confirmed to any governmental position.

I’ve been watching ‘Suits’ lately and, believe it or not, it’s a very entertaining show. Despite Markle.
It’s main premise is that a partner hires a genius kid who has no Harvard law degree and no college degree at all. Yet, he runs rings around every lawyer in the firm and, indeed, every attorney he encounters. I keep wondering if the show’s creators realized they were proving a point.

Harvard is nothing more than an indoctrination center for socialism, communism and hatred for the United
States. Unfortunately, so is the university that I graduated from and the elementary school in my neighborhood. A diploma from Harvard is just an attendance certificate, a very expensive one.
