Harvard has no right to continue her sentence. NO RIGHT!
Since when do major universities carry out social retribution? This is extremely dangerous and a policy of Harvard's that needs to be visited. Who else? Is this the first time Harvard has over stepped it's boundaries? This is just an amazing power play. Hatred is now a policy at Harvard.

Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government (click here) rescinded a visiting fellowship offered to Chelsea Manning, the former military intelligence analyst who spent seven years in prison for leaking classified government secrets, after the university faced forceful backlash from CIA Director Mike Pompeo among others.
“I now think that designating Chelsea Manning as a Visiting Fellow was a mistake, for which I accept responsibility,” Douglas W. Elmendorf, the school’s dean, wrote in a 700-word statement released shortly after midnight Friday.
Manning was one of four visiting fellows announced two days earlier by the Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics. As part of the program, visiting fellows appear on Harvard’s campus for speaking engagements and events, interacting with undergraduate students on “topical issues of today,” the school’s initial announcement explained....
The politics of hate are now solidly anchored in America's institution. Quite frankly, I don't Pompeo has much to offer Harvard. Have they started clicking their heels at Harvard yet?

I demand equal time for Chelsea Manning in the media!
I suppose this the major accomplishment of Mike Pompeo. I know the country is in trouble now. How many more transgender is under the CIA radar?
The Dean already wrote his resignation when he sent Chelsea Manning home. He has backbone. Harvard will tolerate a CIA Director that works for White Supremacists, but, turns away one of the most controversial military intelligence officer of our time. Idiot. There is no other word.
This act of hate and political preference casts a shadow over Harvard. Everyone say bye, bye to Douglas W. Elmendorf. Bye, bye.
Chelsea Manning is an American. Just that simple. She has a right to participate in events in the American experience and speaking at Harvard is completely appropriate. Her exposure is healthy for the country. CIA Directors like Pompeo only proves the government is floundering and politically charged rather than settling on national security. Pompeo is practicing inflammatory politics. THE FACT that in his letter he states he is personally uncomfortable is a problem. What else is he personally uncomfortable with? Since when are the policies of the CIA a personal preference of the Director? I don't think so.
CIA agents are focused on a Harvard forum to determine their behavior? That is a joke. That is a complete joke. It is also a lie. Pompeo is playing politics and lacks the ability to HONOR all Americans including those that have served a prison sentence and now has returned to civilian life.
Maybe "Kremlin on the Charles" is an appropriate assessment of Harvard, but, not for the reasons Ted Cruz stated.
