Harvard is pathetic and irredeemable. RIP Stan Fisher, a real intellectual heavyweight from a time before academia became morally and intellectually bankrupt.

Crespo: "From climate change to vaccines to the study of race and inequality in our country’s past and present, they want us to shut up. Or worse, they want us to say only what they want to hear. This too is what authoritarianism looks like.” Authoritarianism "looks like" having a platform to exercise free speech at a prestigious university and not being hauled away afterwards and sent to a reeducation camp? "Our country is teetering on the edge of authoritarianism," he declared. "There are some of us, like me, who think we may already be there." He said all this—and no one prevented it?

Harvard has the highest academic reputation. Are Harvard courses more challenging than those at less well-known institutions? Do intellectuals admire Professor Crespo's scholarship?

It is odd that the Palestinian flag is the same as the Jordanian flag except that the Jordanian flag has a 7 pointed white star in the red chevron. I'm surprised that I haven't seen counterdemonstrators carrying Jordanian flags, or chalking white stars onto chalked Palestinian flags.

Does anyone know why the 2 flags are so similar? Before 1967 were the Jordanians trying to say that Jordan is Palestine?
