Buffalo_Gal Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Department of Education Investigating Foreign Money Flowing to U.S. Colleges The U.S. Education Department has opened investigations into foreign funding at Georgetown University and Texas A&M University as part of a broader push to monitor international money flowing to American colleges. Both universities are being ordered to disclose years of financial records amid concerns they have not fully reported their foreign gifts and contracts to the federal government, according to letters sent to the schools Thursday and obtained by The Associated Press. </snip> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 SJW LOGIC VS. COMMON SENSE: No wonder Oberlin got socked with a huge punitive damages award for libeling a local bakery as racist after detaining students who wound up pleading guilty to shoplifting. Here’s Oberlin’s litigation position, from its court filings: “Gibson bakery’s archaic chase-and-detain policy regarding suspected shoplifters was the catalyst for the protests. The guilt or innocence of the students is irrelevant to both the root cause of the protests and this litigation.” Get that? Whether the students accused of shoplifting had actually been shoplifting or not was irrelevant to whether it was fair to accuse the store of racism etc for detaining the students as shoplifters. The fault lay with the bakery owners for daring to actually stop and prosecute shoplifters! This is the kind of b.s. that gets you A’s at Oberlin with a certain type of SJW professor, but that normal people rightly think defies common sense. But it can pay off in academia. A very prominent law professor got an Ivy League job after writing a silly book which, among other things, argued that whether the Al Sharpton-promoted Tawana Brawley hoax was true or not was besides the point, because the real issue was whether society was silencing African American girls like her who surely had something bad happen to them. by David Bernstein .

Even you can see the dangers in this kind of purity requirements, no? Especially in an institution of higher learning. Holding someone accountable for what they say when they're 16 (as a joke, and has since excessively apologized for/worked on), is pretty bad. Of course, it's not really about what he said when he was 16, it was because of his activism since the shooting... Can't have diversity of thought... at Harvard. That kind of thing is dangerous!

The new-left, just like the old-left, has adopted a platform of unpersoning, deplatforming, and censorship as it institutes it's ideological purity tests and wokeness social ratings.

B-Man Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 When Normality Became Abnormal by Victor Davis Hanson Original Article Donald Trump is many things. But one thing he is not is a defender of the 2009-2016 status quo and accepted progressive convention. Since 2017, everything has been in flux. Lots of past conventional assumptions of the Obama-Clinton-Romney-Bush generation were as unquestioned as they were suspect. No longer.Everyone knew the Iran deal was a way for the mullahs to buy time and hoard their oil profits, to purchase or steal nuclear technology, to feign moderation, and to trade some hostages for millions in terrorist-seeding cash, and then in a few years spring an announcement that it had the bomb.No one wished to say that. Trump did. He canceled the flawed deal without a second thought. {snip} In the last 30 months, the question of the Rust Belt has been reframed to why, with a great workforce, cheap energy, good administrative talent, and a business-friendly administration, cannot the United States make more of what it needs? Why, if trade deficits are irrelevant, do Germany, China, Japan, and Mexico find them so unpleasant? If unfettered trade is so essential, why do so many of our enemies and friends insist that we almost alone trade “fairly,” while they trade freely and unfairly? Why do not Germany and China argue that their vast global account surpluses are largely irrelevant? {snip} Republicans for the last 40 years joined progressives in ensuring that illegal immigration was mostly not measured, meritocratic, diverse, or lawful, but instead a means to serve a number of political agendas. Most Americans demurred, but kept silent given the barrage of “racist,” “xenophobe,” and “nativist” cries that met any measured objection. Not so much now. Few any longer claim that the southern border is not being overrun, much less that allowing a non-diverse million illegal aliens in six months to flood into the United States without audit is proof that “diversity is our strength.” The Republican Party’s prior role was to slow down the inevitable trajectory to European socialism, the end of American exceptionalism, and homogenized globalized culture. Losing nobly in national elections was one way of keeping one’s dignity, weepy wounded-fawn style, while the progressive historical arc kept bending to our collective future. Rolling one’s eyes on Sunday talk shows as a progressive outlined the next unhinged agenda was proof of tough resistance. Like it or not, now lines are drawn. Trump so unhinged the Left that it finally tore off its occasional veneer of moderation, and showed us what progressives had in store for America. The choices are at least starker now. The strategy is not, as in 2008 and 2012, to offer a moderate slow-down of progressivism, but rather a complete repudiation of it. One way is to see this as a collision between Trump, the proverbial bull, and the administrative state as a targeted precious china shop—with all the inevitable nihilistic mix-up of horns, hooves, and flying porcelain shards. But quite another is to conclude that what we recently used to think was abjectly abnormal twenty years ago had become not just “normal,” but so orthodoxly normal that even suggesting it was not was judged to be heretical and deserving of censure and worse. The current normal correctives were denounced as abnormal—as if living in a sovereign state with secure borders, assuming that the law was enforced equally among all Americans, demanding that citizenship was something more than mere residence, and remembering that successful Americans, not their government, built their own businesses and lives is now somehow aberrant or perverse. Trump’s political problem, then, may be that the accelerating aberration of 2009-2016 was of such magnitude that normalcy is now seen as sacrilege. Weaponizing the IRS, unleashing the FBI to spy on political enemies and to plot the removal of an elected president, politicizing the CIA to help to warp U.S. politics, allying the Justice Department with the Democratic National Committee, and reducing FISA courts to rubber stamps for pursuing administration enemies became the new normal. Calling all that a near coup was abnormal. Let us hope that most Americans still prefer the abnormal remedy to the normal pathology.

Don't ask a leftist or an NPC, they won't/can't/aren't allowed to remember. Well as they say, his first mistake was applying to Harvard. I get why he wanted to go there, the alumni club runs a lot of the world's business through it (the Harvard education is incidental). A lot of people have said he should sue, others say he cannot win, yada, yada. I think he should sue. He has immediate provable monetary damages in that he gave up scholarships to other institutions on acceptance to Harvard. Long term, the monetary damages from not having that piece of paper are incalculable (although I am certain a good attorney could calculate them ?) Others have said there was no contract, but wasn't there? If accepted, isn't that a contract? And if past, legal behavior is a reason to rescind the acceptance, shouldn't Harvard have done their due diligence before accepting him? What next? Eating paste in kindergarten ruins your life? (If so, someone should tell Biden he will never be President.) Let's face it, this comes down to this kid is the "wrong" political persuasion. It looks HORRIBLE for Harvard to pull his acceptance, not only for that reason, but because of what he went through, and that he earned the acceptance. I am sure Harvard doesn't care as they will always have boatloads of people applying, and couldn't give two-***** about how they look to those of the "wrong" political affiliation. Anyhoooo I hope he lawyers-up ... with either a staff of past Harvard grads, or a staff of Yale grads. ? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
