The MLK-Feldman comparison is perfect! I also pulled up short at the final sentence in the paragraph you quote from Feldman: "what students the university can admit, what subjects it can teach, or which research it supports.” That is, "students" with activist inclinations from all the correct marginalized groups, politicized "subjects" fashioned by Harvard's inward-looking leftie professors, "research" funded by whatever dictatorships around the world want to buy the Harvard imprimatur for their benighted lands. As to the key reviled outsiders, I'd add in Christopher Rufo, that ultimate bad boy of the "far right" of their imaginations.
