Trump’s big push to violate the USA Constitution is that no one is safe. In this case the country is not safe from Harvard’s admission standards in recruiting and accepting foreign students. There is no basis of truth to it.
The judge has allowed the greatest deference to Trump in hearing the reason for such bizarre executive orders and decisions. Harvard has stood steadfast and allowed democracy to work its powers through the court. Trump has been allowed Due Process.
Look.
The USA is a strong democracy. While elements of society and politics would see a coupe to allow a king to control the structure of law enforcement to certain outcomes, it isn’t going to happen. The laws of the USA bend toward freedom. Why would anyone ever believe Harvard was a national security threat?
The students that demonstrated on college campuses were looking for recognition no different than any other person(s) in our history. Those that remember the illegal wars of Vietnam and Iraq remember the demonstrations that would eventually end the corruption that fed them. This isn’t any different.
Students who saw injustice in Gaza wanted it ended. You mean to tell me Harvard or Columbia or any other University didn’t have control of their campuses so that nuclear secrets would end up in the hands of Hamas? If any of that danger were to end up with Hamas check Iran and not Harvard.
So, in distilling all this down Trump’s bizarre executive orders were racism. The students had rights. They were on USA soil and they exerted those rights. I am proud to say.
I realize the demonstrators that were to benefit Palestine were considered anti-semitic. No one dismissed those concerns either. But, at the end of the day freedom won and the USA and their magnificent universities are still standing. A little battered and bruised, but, very much still standing.
Hopefully, now the universities will recover from an onslaught of hate and racism.
Jeeze!
