    Harvard is failing its students

    Harvard is failing its students by allowing them to live in a fantasy world

    Its not just harvard



    There is a reason you don’t let inmates run your asylum, allow your toddler to eat candy for dinner or tell the Labrador retriever sitting behind the wheel of your car, “OK, Duke, I guess you drive.” Those who are, mentally speaking, a few slices short of a loaf don’t get to make grown-up-people decisions. This brings me to Harvard undergraduates.

    In the softest and most spoiled generation of humanity ever to exist (they feel threatened by Halloween costumes and the existence of Ben Shapiro; their forebears endured World War II and Vietnam and even riding bikes without helmets), the softest and most spoiled corner must be the Harvard student body, those little princelings and princesslings who have more expectations about how the world should accommodate their whims than Louis XIV. Last week, a handful of these toddler-brained undergrads got a distinguished Harvard dean fired for doing his job.

    That dean, Ronald Sullivan, holds an outside job. He is something called a “lawyer.” Lawyers, as everyone but screaming Harvard kids knows, are a vital element of the justice system. In Professor Sullivan’s case, he is a defense lawyer, meaning he defends people who will sometimes turn out to be guilty. Sullivan’s past clients include the family of Michael Brown, on whose behalf he brought suit against Ferguson, Mo.; and Aaron Hernandez, the former New England Patriots tight end who committed suicide in 2017 while serving a life sentence for murder.

    Hahvahd is doomed anyway.

    Rather than trying to remain the elite school, it has decided than picking the best, brightest and most able minds to be America's leaders, it has decided to pursue diversity, and that oath ALWAYS leads to mediocrity.
    Freedom Requires Obstinance.

    We the People DID NOT vote in a majority Rodent Congress, they stole it via election fraud.

    You're welcome to make any suggestions you'd like.

    I'm amazed at what triggers the snowflakes is my contribution.

    I think most people are also amazed by it.

    Aside from the fact that he probably should not have such a demanding outside job, this is ridiculous. Not to mention a perfect example of liberal controlism.

    Last I checked, Harvard was free to operate their institution as they see fit. Anybody that doesn't like it, can choose another school to attend. I'm sure a degree from PragerU or Trump University would have the same notoriety as one from Harvard....

    Your implication is of course wrong, just like the loud obnoxious liberals that complain about anything and everything from their own flatulence to not being extra nice to muslims, they have every right to complain how harvard operates. Using your ideals, then not only can liberals go somewhere else they can go to other countries also.

    This isnt a one way street even though some want it to be so badly

    When the bar is lowed, or banished completely, the sheepskin devalues also.

    A university is supposed to educate, and hopefully help prepare it's students for the outside world. Coddling students is not serving them well.

    What you see as coddling, others may see as their prerogative. It's weird to see so many conservatives who used to care about having a "free market", suddenly advocate for control over how an institution operates.
