YES or NO, the Normalizing of Genocide
For the overwhelming majority of Americans, this to include graduates/ donors to America’s “elite” universities, the inability of three of the presidents to answer “Yes” to a question posed by a congressional representative inquiring if students calling for the genocide of Jews on their campus violated university policy.
So many of us civilized professors and graduates of these institutions have known since the 1990s just how uncivilized schools like Harvard had become. I was canceled myself from my teaching position here in Southwest Florida while teaching for Florida Gulf Coast University.
In fact, Representative Elise Stefanik who posed the question is a graduate of Harvard and as an article in Politico stated had been cancelled:
Elise Stefanik’s viral line of questioning of an elite trio of university presidents last week over how to respond to calls for the genocide of Jews didn’t just spark bipartisan outrage and lead to a high-profile resignation. It settled a personal score the congresswoman had with her alma mater, which had all but disowned her in the wake of Jan. 6.
Back then, in 2021, the dean of Harvard University’s school of government said the New York congresswoman’s comments about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election had “no basis in evidence,” and the Harvard Institute of Politics removed Stefanik from its senior advisory committee. Stefanik at the time criticized what she described as “the ivory tower’s march toward a monoculture of like-minded, intolerant liberal views.”
Leave it to Poltico to make it all about Elise Stefanik.
Few noticed that included in the list of elite universities being investigate was an intermediate school in Kansas. I still cannot get a copy of the original complaint of what was being taught to nine and ten-year-olds in the middle of America.
What happened in Israel on October 6th was all-to-real.
What makes the Harvard debacle worse is its Christian founding:
With some 17,000 Puritans migrating to New England by 1636, Harvard was founded in anticipation of the need for training clergy for the new commonwealth, a "church in the wilderness". Harvard was established in 1636 by vote of the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In 1638, the school received a printing press—the only press at the time in what is now the United States, until Harvard acquired a second in 1659.

Long-Awaited Reality Check
Hopefully, American parents and their college-age children will notice that the barbarians have taken over these universities. To apply, attend and pay tuition to an immoral institution is to enable. Speaking of tuition, that is $59,076 a year for Harvard. Hillsdale a moral institution is half of that, $30,780. Now Hillsdale is not big enough to teach all of our kids, so we need alternatives going forward. As I have written for many months now we have all of the resources to HOMESCHOOL and higher education can be created to fill that need. After all Harvard and all these elite schools started with a single building and a few professors. Think outside the box.
It is time to bankrupt the morally bankrupted Harvard. When the are forced to close, I suggest we turn the campus into a Holocaust Museum.

Somehow Mike I don't think that they are prepared to step up. The problem with conservatives is that by nature they are not action oriented.
Harvard's reputation is spiraling downward not only because of its wokeness but because it has lowered its standards to accommodate diversity. Hopefully a conservative institution will fill the gap in becoming a super selective ivy League alternaive.
