Today’s quote, and it’s a pretty lengthy one, comes to us from commentator/former Margaret Thatcher aide/ director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at The Heritage Foundation, and Yale Graduate, Nile Gardiner.
Here is what Mr. Gardiner has to say about Harvard, Yale and some of the other colleges/universities which, this month, have shown themselves to be not only left wing incubators but centers of Israel/Jew hatred:
“Harvard is a once great university that is in a steep state of decline.
“It has been taken over by the far-left and Harvard is now openly tolerating students supporting terrorism.
“The university is doing immense damage to itself by not acting against what is happening on campus.
“Inevitably large numbers of major donors will walk away from the university and I would not be surprised if Harvard loses scholars as a result of its refusal to deal with support for terrorism and rising antisemitism on campus.”
“I do think Harvard is a microcosm of many of the growing problems in the US as a result of wokeism and Harvard has willingly surrendered to Marxist-style indoctrination.
“I think it’s time for Harvard donors and many of its graduates to stand up to what is happening.
“For centuries institutions like Harvard and Yale have been the training grounds for future leaders and it is frightening to see the direction Ivy League universities are taking today. They are completely unrecognizable from just a generation ago.
“Some major US employers are fighting back by saying they will refuse to hire anyone involved in pro-terror and anti-Semitic protests at Harvard and other universities. This is the right approach.
“US corporations should not hire people who support terrorism or hold anti-Semitic beliefs. There should be a zero-tolerance for this but it’s good to see some CEOs fighting back because there has to be a fight back against what is happening here.”
I award Nile Gardiner Quote Of The Day honors for seeing things as they actually are, and having the guts – guts being necessary in this day and age if you’re talking about the indoctrination/education so many students are getting – to speak so openly and forthrightly about it.
