It’s a crazy time we live in when a university, which is supposed to be an ideological mix of many lines of thinking, is breaking the norm by announcing it will not show solidarity with one particular line of thought.

It's a little optimistic to think Harvard students will be quiet after this.

Louisiana folk chiming in and talking shite about Harvard University is pretty humorous.

Disagree. This is what a trade is for. The goal of universities should be to provide a universal education that benefits the individual in a free society. University is where students should be allowed to debate and challenge ideas, push the boundaries of research to develop new technologies and scientific findings, and sharpen the critical thinking to skills that are supposed to be fostered and grown in HS.

We have fallen so far away from the path of what universities are supposed to do we no longer recognize it, and because of that have bastardized both universities and all education on the whole.

Huge win if they hold to it. They will set the precedent for other Ivy League schools, which will in turn set precedents for all schools. Maybe, just maybe, this forces the institutions to slow their roll of propaganda
