Whats really behind this Trump attack on colleges?

[OddBeMe]

Feels little fascisty (college word)

[Avicenna]

The biggest issue here is violation of federal civil rights laws (Havard itself has admitted there is a serious problem with anti-Semitism at the university). If African-Americans rather than Jews were the the victims, would the Democrats be against enforcing federal civil rights laws?

It’s also a good idea to have transparency about the billions in taxpayer money that‘s going to institutions catering to foreign elites rather than the children of those taxpayers. Harvard in particular has discriminated against Asian-Americans as well as Jews, so to look at all of its practices and have a public national debate about them makes sense

Your response , Odd, as usual, is to call Trump a fascist rather than to even consider the issues involved, much less discuss them.

[OddBeMe]

What's an example of antisemitism done on Harvard grounds? I've only seen pro-Palestine protests. Oh is that the new definition?

[Avicenna]

Odd, your own anti-Semitism is well known, but you have to be beyond ignorant not to accept there is a problem when the university itself admits there is anti-Semitism. It’s far from the only university where there is a big problem with anti-Semitism.

Time for you to read something other than Nazi propaganda.

[Avicenna]

Here’s what Harvard itself had to say:

There's anti-Semitism EVERYWHERE, just as racism exists everywhere, but there's nowhere nearly as much anti-Semitism at Harvard as the righties allege.( NO amount of anti-Semitism, anti-Blackness, Islamophobia, homophobia, xenophobia, etc. is justifiable).
The right focuses on disgusting but relatively rare anti-Semitic acts by "progressives" to deflect from their own anti-Jewishness.

[Avicenna]

@beefcakebradybatson: I understand that you are a very partisan and ideological person, but it has been the case for quite some time that most anti-Semitism (and the most virulent and dangerous varieties of it) come from leftists. You hold Harvard to a pathetically weak standard (and by its own admission, the university has failed to even meet that) rather than the elevated one an elite institution which receives billions of dollars in taxpayer funds annually and special treatment in many ways should aspire to and meet.

Harvard itself doesn't agree with your claims, so just stop making excuses for the anti-Semites among your fellow leftists.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Sure. YOU stop making excuses for right-wing anti-Semitism, of which there is FAR MORE than fake "progressive" anti-Semitism. ALL of it is EQUALLY EVIL.

[Avicenna]

@beefcakebradybatson:If you actually pay attention to what I post you'll see that I will take on any anti-Semite. But your "whataboutism" does nothing to solve the awful and growing problem of anti-Semitism from the left, which as a Jew I can assure you is very real. But since it doesn't affect you, you obviously don't care. You're too busy fellating leftists who lie to you left and right (it was, for example, hilarious seeing you quote verbatim without attribution Joe Biden, the man responsible for putting more African-Americans in jail than anyone, even Kamala Harris, two idiots you were no doubt proud to support).

[OddBeMe]

There's hardly any antisemitism. Just anti Israel.

[contentious]

So let me get this straight, Harvard claims to be one of if not the best business schools in the entire nation, but they don't even know how to make a budget? This sounds like a case of false advertising. Federal law says that ad must be truthful, not misleading, and, when appropriate, backed by scientific evidence. I think the FTC should go investigate Harvard.

[katiesmuff]

No shock here! Most everything that retarded moron does makes no sense to anyone who uses their brain and doesn't have their nose up trumps filthy stinky ass.

[Anonymous]

I heard it was all that rejected Barron. Booboo's hurt more when rich.

[OddBeMe]

Someone who accepts bribes so easily doesn’t sound rich.

[Opinion Owner]

Are you kidding?
You can never have too much money or free sh*t.

[Sevenpointfive]

i heard a spin on it that it was actually hurting the jews who started it. that's not true. i guarantee you that 99% of jews on u. s. soil going to college have u. s. citizenship. that includes the one's if any that have student visas. so in theory, taking away those visas and kicking out students would affect them too, IF they didn't also have u. s. citizenship.

i loved hearing this news. maybe trump does have a different reason?

[DryGermanGuy]

Trump and his horde of flunkies attack everything and everyone not going along with their Project 2025 policies and the corresponding executive power grab. No surprises here.

[DrPepper12]

Baron getting rejected from every ivy? I love that one!! He couldn't even recognize him in a lineup.

It's dictatorship 101. Law. Labor. Media. Academia first.

Military, courts & political parties next.

[exitseven]

I di business with Harvard many times. The closer you got to the place the less impressive it was.

[DrPepper12]

A diploma with a lifetime roi in multiples over 40? I'll take it

[exitseven]

Colleges are really little more than indoctrination centers. President Trump is trying to restore them to their orignial putpose, to educate our young people.

[OddBeMe]

If indoctrination is education and introduction to multiculturalism.

[exitseven]

Introduction to communism

[OddBeMe]

Yes we spend 60k tuition for communism. Stop reading the NY post

[exitseven]

60K? try more money.

[OddBeMe]

No, my state college was about 10k a year. And I make more than high school grads ever will

[beefcakebradybatson]

Like most dull-normals, Trump is afraid of learned people because they, unlike the stupid MAGA goobers (are there "gooberettes?") see through his dictatorial desires.

[Anonymous]

It's time these elite colleges were brought into line. They've been promoting antisemitism, anti Asian and anti white rhetoric for too long.

[OddBeMe]

What antisemitism? Examples?

[Opinion Owner]

Chants of from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. That's a call for mass genocide of jews in Israel.

[OddBeMe]

And has that phrase been chanted on campus?

[Opinion Owner]

Yes it has.

[OddBeMe]

Any evidence of that?

[Opinion Owner]

www.thecrimson.com/.../

[OddBeMe]

Two years ago. And no students involved. It was one guy condemned by 100 of his harvard bosses

[Opinion Owner]

They chant this everywhere which is why the Dean condemned it

[OddBeMe]

Show me. Not a two year old link to one guy who was condemned

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah go to one of these protests find out for yourself

[OddBeMe]

Tons of video. Just pro Palestine. Is that considered antisemitism

[Opinion Owner]

When its anti jew its considered antisemitism

[OddBeMe]

That was mobbed? You guys are fucking pussies. They yelled shame and gathered around. His feet never left tne ground and I doubt anyone actually touched him. Just looked like signs in his face. Pusy

[Opinion Owner]

Imagine being target like that just because of your race & religion. There's a word for that.

[OddBeMe]

Its a protest. he's angry because of his religion. NY Post gets Aipac money so they're blowing it out of proportion. And you're an idiot who links to ny post as evidence.

[Diӏdophobe]

Whats with these vague posts?

[OddBeMe]

I’m in a vague mood.

[Dargil]

Anti-Semitism

[OddBeMe]

Has that word been broadened to "anything not pro-Israel"?

[Dargil]

By whom or what?

[Avicenna]

No, Odd, that’s not accurate, and stop making excuses for your fellow anti-Semites.

[OddBeMe]

@Avicenna then show me antisemitism on Harvard grounds or stfu

[Avicenna]

Harvard itself has admitted there is a serious problem with anti-Semitism. The more you attempt to deny this fact, the more you embarrass yourself (not that you haven’t been doing that for years with your prejudiced and ignorant claims and policy suggestions).

[Avicenna]

And I linked to Harvard’s own report on anti-Semitism on another thread. No doubt your dumb, lazy ass won’t bother to read it.

[Avicenna]

Actually, I linked it it on THIS thread before you posted your demand, which confirms you’re too dumb and lazy.

[OddBeMe]

@Avicenna oh no read that garbage. Admin trying to keep their govt funding. I said show me proof of antisemitism

[Avicenna]

So you’re claiming that there is no anti-Semitism at Harvard even though the university itself admits there is? And you’re therefore saying the university itself is falsely claiming that there is anti-Semitism at the university.

No wonder you aren’t allowed to leave the house…..

[OddBeMe]

Still no proof of antisemitism
