Harvard’s recent graduation ceremonies included an honorary degree awarded to a boycott-Israel advocate. They included a Harvard Divinity School student speaker declaring “I center Palestine today,” talking about “77 years of genocide,” and cheering on the “unwavering courage and profound wisdom” of a Harvard divinity student who pleaded not guilty and was ordered by a court to do community service and an anger management class after being criminally charged with assaulting a Jewish Harvard business school student. And the graduation ceremonies also included a Harvard law professor who used his speech to denounce “injustice” in “Palestine” and praise what he called the “courage” of anti-Israel student protesters.
