One thing about people who went to Harvard is that they will let you know they went to Harvard. “This is a good sandwich,” says one person. “Yes, it reminds me of these great sandwiches I used to eat when I was going to Harvard,” replies the person in the Harvard shirt.
OK, maybe that’s a little bit of an exaggeration, but not much of one. And I’m not saying they’re bad people, or all bad people, I’m just saying that their alma mater is now a stain more than a point of pride on their records.
Harvard wasn’t overtaken as much as it had collapsed. They hired a President based on DEI standards, mostly so they could congratulate themselves for “celebrating diversity.” It turned out that she not only wasn’t remotely qualified for the gig, she was a serial plagiarist who, were it not for the left-wing box-checking of her existence, would have been run out of town in disgrace. As it stands, she’s still a “professor” at Harvard, collecting nearly a million dollars per year, even though she’s no longer President. Good work, if you can get it.
When people used to think of Harvard – and watch any 1980s movie – that it was THE place, the most impressive and important place to get an education, simply having attended Harvard would open doors for those who did. Now it closes doors, as businesses adopt a philosophy of not hiring anyone who it would be a lawsuit to get rid of, and you get the sense that Harvard graduates have a higher likelihood of suing over being asked to do “too much” or anything else that would cause stress, let alone firing them.
And I haven’t even touched on the idea that the campus, as are so many “elite” campuses across the country, is overrun with terrorist sympathizing anti-Semites who also hate America.

Be honest, that’s likely what you think of first when you hear Harvard – spoiled brats who protest Israel and America, who take over buildings to defend terrorists, hate white people, and Asians. Why would I care if the institution that helped burp people like that out into society is having a rough time financially?
Harvard has more money than it knows what to do with sitting in accounts as part of its endowment. They can dip into it to cover their bills; they don’t need our money. And, thanks to their discriminatory policies, they don’t deserve our money.
Naturally, Harvard is suing to ensure that the federal gravy train keeps rolling in their direction. They do not have a Constitutional right to our tax dollars, so the idea that they’d sue to keep them flowing is hilarious and a demonstration of a sense of entitlement rarely seen on Earth.
A bunch of leftists dependent upon government “grants” to do their “research” can suck up to left-wing billionaires to fund their lifestyles and leave the American people alone. If Daddy Sorosbucks won’t pony up the cash and they lose their protected, tenured positions and have to actually work for a living, why the hell would I care?
If Harvard has to raise tuition, why would I care? If Harvard can’t pad its pockets with tuition money from hostile foreign countries, why should I care? If Harvard, and all these cesspools of progressive poison, have to close and kill various fields of study because they have to budget in a way normal people do every single day, great. The world will be a better place without more gender studies and ethnic grievance studies graduates clogging up unemployment offices or joining the Starbucks barista union.
Harvard used to matter; it was something people would aspire to, and even if they didn’t reach it, the attempt elevated them to other heights they wouldn’t have reached otherwise. Now it’s a cautionary tale of what happens when you have unchecked and unchallenged progressivism and all the poison that goes along with that. You can now stream stupidity and hatred from a campus without having to cough up the $100,000 a year to experience and smell the left-wing activists firsthand.
Let the whole thing collapse. It will not be missed, and we’ll all be better off without it.
