Surely, they must have realised by now that the Constitution doesn't exist in Trumps and the Republicans eyes now. The country is a dictatorship modelled on Russia.
Just get more rich people like the Kushners and so many others to give $2m for admiting their unqualified kids into the most elite university in the US. Merit! MAGA.
Suppressing science weakens democracy by limiting access to truth, undermining informed decision-making, and enabling misinformation. Without science, citizens lose the tools to question authority, challenge injustice, and participate fully in shaping a fair and transparent society. That is why.
Why do you all report this without reminding the reader that the “antisemitism” is actually any speech against Israel and Zionism, and not against Judaism. By leaving that you intentionally are painting a negative picture of Harvard and other institutions. Stop doing this.
What's new?! During his campaign, Elon Musk made it clear that he would stop investing in education, as it is expensive and it is easier to hire professionals from other countries who are already trained.
Resist, resist, resist, go to the rallies go to the hands off meetings call your congressman on a daily basis if you don’t stand up for yourself and for others, no one else will
Remember Germany in the 1930s when no one spoke up
Until we actually educate Americans and dismantle Fox News, the White Heritage Foundation, and PragerU, we will have to continue to fight racism/fascism. It's not just this administration we are fighting, it's the illiterate and racist American voter.
Time to get busy. Congress is on their paid leave (we paid for) and coming home so grab some friends & pay for daily newspaper aids demanding to know why they support Trump instead of the people who elected them? Remind them Trump can’t vote them Into office.
But law firms have settled with him to provide pro bono services in return for Trump agreeing to drop charges against them for previous things/cases he didn't like.
The big question is: Why universities get billions of $ in federal funding 🤔 Don't they demand high tuitions from students already? Another question: Why universities get billions of $ from countries like Qatar, Turkey, China, etc. 🤔
Universities get billions of dollars for medical research. Harvard in particular has successfully produced advances to improve medical outcomes for soldiers for the DoD.
Ask yourself this - in the face of competition from China and India and Europe - why is the President trying to kill education in America? Why is that? The Chinese are kicking your ASSES on almost every metric and you're killing education?? Now why is that?
They just took $4m from Princeton U for their climate studies. Princeton was ok with it. You read that right, they were ok with it saying the study gave people
anxiety. Everyone is caving to them. 🤦🏻♀️
This lawsuit underscores the escalating tension between academia and the Trump administration over federal funding
By framing the threat as a First Amendment issue, Harvard is positioning itself not just as an institution fighting for resources but as a defender of constitutional principles.
