Reg, Robert, and Jake,

If we want Americans thinking critically and learning again, merit and ability should be the only criteria for admissions or employment in institutions of learning. Conditions of birth such as “race”, “ethnicity”, sex, and national origin should not be a consideration.

“Holistic” admissions and hiring are as bogus and…[Read more]

If I were using a hard copy dictionary, you would have me using the pages as a fan looking half of those up. You could be a Scrabble King easily!

Jake,

Funny, before I looked it up, I thought jejune was when SeSummer began.

Unseen,

Umm, you know, I have a far larger vocabulary than the average American, yet I had to run to the dictionary.

Anyways i remember the father who was an engineer telling us how Jews who numbered so few in Norway dominated the admissions in engineering school and yet no apparent discrimination or racism was apparent.

Have come across it too many times to have an excuse to need a dictionary or now internet. Never ever hear anybody use word but it is in so many books.

Right now, christian nationalism is the #1 immediate threat to our nation and democracy on this planet. Not Islamists, not trans athletes, not antisemitic  Harvard, not China, not Ukranian Nazis, not even climate change. Anyone fighting this shit, I am gonna root for them. When the threat is over, then back to the regularly scheduled program.…[Read more]

Harvard has a long history of discrimination against Jews. This lefty iteration of secular Jew hatred as an academic subject is such a joke. I want to see the money trail from Qutar to Harvard. Who has been paid off? Anti Jew. Anti western. Anti intellectual. Smoothing the pathway for Islamism to penetrate USA and being partly…
