Selena Zito takes Harvard kids to Main st

The côastal big cities are the most airtight bubbles in the country

Those simple rules are what intrigued students at the Harvard Institute of Politics (IOP) after hearing me speak at a Pizza and Politics event on the school’s campus last fall.

Hmmmm

Grade inflation is certainly common at Harvard. But people also select classes to ensure they graduate with a high GPA. The system doesn’t reward people who seek an education, it rewards credentialism.

That is where our "leaders" come from.

It still has a great halo, but it’s probably been a long time since Harvard actually trained leaders.

I have to wonder, was Harvard responsible for making those men, or was Harvard simply a reflection of its student body which was elite in every sense of the word?

I’m in San Francisco now.

My god these people live in an alternate reality.

Is it sad that college kids have to be treated like 12 year olds? That's the impression I got from the article.

Harvard was really good, up through through the 60s.

After that

This was a great read.

I hope they let her continue to run this course.

“So,” I said, “who do you think most of the people you just got to know voted for president?”

None of the students had an answer. It hadn’t come up in their conversations and they didn’t know I had privately asked each person who they’d voted for.

So, I let a minute pass and told them.

“Nearly every one of them voted for Trump.”

My students looked stunned, at first. But then a recognition crossed their faces.

need a class like this at every school in America

Any links or proof or are you just pulling uneducated tripe out of your anus again? Seriously retarded.

They don't even have ranks in their law school. Getting in is the hardest part. Perhaps you shouldn't be calling others uneducated.

You idiot. Not the us news law school ranking. They don't rank their students. In law school students are ranked from 1-200 whatever is in their class based on their grades. Harvard doesn't rank their students. The hardest part is getting in. My lord...you are either completely ignorant or incredibly slow.
