Harvard dean threatens faculty who protest
school’s mistreatment of Jews

Original Article

“Snitches get stitches” is a threat typically made by adolescents to avoid punishment by intimidating those who might expose their misdeeds. Yet it seems Harvard is a glorified junior high these days, with Lawrence Bobo, its dean of social sciences, threatening faculty who publicly criticize the university for its mistreatment of Jewish students. Writing in the Crimson, Bobo argued that it is “outside the bounds of acceptable professional conduct for a faculty member to excoriate University leadership, faculty, staff, or students with the intent to arouse external intervention into University business.” Faculty who appeal to external actors to reverse gross injustices at Harvard may not get literal stitches, but

Harvard cannot be taken seriously when it hires hustlers like Bobo and bestows upon them the status earned by legitimate scholars of the past. Today, the truly brilliant minds who once made Harvard great would be fired if they questioned whether welfare is being conned, unborn children ought to be killed for convenience’s sake or boys menstruate and give birth. Some Harvard alum who I know are embarrassed but don’t believe the funhouse of a school can ever go broke. Yes, it can and if it doesn’t shape up it will and then become unrecognizable as an enlightened institution of learning.

Like the UN, it seems that Harvard needs to be relocated to another country or be otherwise eliminated for the harm it brings to our country. It appears that Biden's West Point is in the process of outliving its usefulness to our country's military as well, unless Trump gets elected and cleans house at West Point and the leftist/Jihadi-infested Pentagon.

"with the intent to arouse external intervention" Proving intent can be a bear. But has due process been eroded to a degree that intent need only be plausible, not proved?

Just another reason for Harvard to be "Bud Lited" in its recruitment of students. Bobo [what's in a name?] is part of the looming disaster. Bring it on!

Under what circumstances is it OK to mistreat Jews for being Jewish? Lawrence Bobo seems determined to create an environment of institutional bigotry at Harvard. Demanding silence from the faculty in the face of hostile treatment of Jewish students isn't leadership. It's more like an invitation to keep it up.

It looks to me like the fools in charge at 'HAAAAAAAVVVVVVAAAAADDDDD' are deliberately destroying the reputation for excellence that was earned by many decades of hard work by many very smart people. Hard to build, easy to destroy. Once the reputation is gone, employers will not seek to hire their graduates, the best students will go elsewhere, the best professors will likewise go elsewhere, donations will dry up, the organization will fade from national prominence into obscurity. Gee, it couldn't happen to a better group of Leftist Totalitarians. (Well, maybe Columbia U, which I believe is in a similar situation.)

"Harvard 'Corporation'" is less a University, than it is an Alumni Fund or International Investment Bank, what with billions of dollars in cash and assets that are under the "management" of only a few leftists. Oh, and they also get lots of money from the Federal government (aka "taxpayers")_ through "grants and assistance," as well as monies from less than savory international leaders, ostensibly to fund, "Chairs," or "Distinguished Professorships," or entire buildings.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday ruled in favor of a former police officer who is seeking to throw out an obstruction charge for joining the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. The justices in a 6-3 vote on nonideological lines handed a win to defendant Joseph Fischer, who is among hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants — including former President Donald Trump — who have been charged with obstructing an official proceeding over the effort to prevent Congress' certification of President Joe Biden’s election victory. The court concluded that the law, enacted in 2002 as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act after the Enron accounting scandal, was only intended

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) told reporters in the spin room Thursday night in Atlanta after the first presidential debate of the 2024 general election on CNN that President Biden won the debate on the “substance.” Newsom and Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) were sent into a phalanx of reporters as the Biden campaign’s surrogates with a seemingly impossible mission: spin a debate that even MSNBC thought Biden lost as a win for the incumbent. “To me, that was daylight and darkness … I care about substance,” Newsom said. “This is not about style … Biden not only asserted himself, he reminded people of his accomplishments and his vision for the future.”

President Donald Trump slammed President Joe Biden’s migration for pushing many black Americans out of jobs. “The fact is that his big kill on the black people is that millions of [migrant] people that he’s allowed to come in through the border, they’re taking black jobs now,” Trump said, adding: [It] could be 18, it could be 19, and even 20 million people, they’re taking black jobs, and they’re taking Hispanic jobs. And you haven’t seen it yet, but you’re going to see something that’s going to be the worst in our history. In contrast, Biden seemed to claim that his migration of more than 10 million

In the lead-up to Thursday night's debate, the conventional wisdom was that Biden had to convince everyone - party bosses and influential pundits especially - that he wasn't too old and addled to be the Democrat nominee again. Biden more than bombed, and there are essentially unanimous calls among Democrats for the party to replace him as the nominee. The undeniable star of the CNN spin room has been California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who's in Atlanta as a Biden surrogate and who's now looking mighty attractive to Democrats as a replacement.

Joe Biden was just an utter train wreck in the debate. He started out like he was on speed, and it sounded like he had memorized the answers he was trying to give, although they all came out in a jumble. But if he was memorizing answers, that would suggest that he might know what the questions were. And at times, particularly in the beginning, it sounded like he did know what was coming. Now that's going to get even more questions after what CNN's Erin Burnett admitted during a discussion afterward about how badly Biden did.

The liberal media was finally forced to admit that the senile president wasn’t wearing clothes following Thursday’s presidential debate hosted by CNN. As a member of a predominantly liberal/pro-Biden panel, Republican commentator Scott Jennings took them all to tack for trying to prop up President Biden’s campaign and lying to the American people about how cogent he obviously wasn’t. “When we came on before this debate, I said, I thought this candidacy was teetering. And everybody jumped on me,” he took aim at the panel. “Yes, we did. Yes, we did,” liberal activist Van Jones admitted. Declaring “the candidacy has fallen,”

It was clear within the first few minutes that the presidential debate was not going to go well for President Joe Biden. His breath was heavy, his voice was raspy and faint, his physical bearing poor. When he wasn't speaking, his mouth was agape. His answers rambled, and he was sometimes incoherent. Every so often, he coughed noticeably. He did not look well. This wasn't the hyped-up, partisan Biden who appeared at the State of the Union in March. This was the Biden who mumbled argle-bargle at the White House's Juneteenth celebration. The contrast with former president Donald Trump was apparent. Trump was confident, direct, and forceful.

ATLANTA — President Joe Biden was supposed to put the nation’s mind at ease over his physical and mental capacity with his debate showing Thursday night. But from the onset of the debate, the 81-year-old seemingly struggled even to talk, mostly summoning a weak, raspy voice. In the opening minutes, the president repeatedly tripped over his words, misspoke and lost his train of thought. In one of the most notable moments, Biden ended a rambling statement that lacked focus by saying, “We finally beat Medicare,” before moderators cut him off and transitioned back to Trump.

Millions just witnessed the end of a presidency live on television. Joe Biden’s performance during the debate was embarrassing. Whenever CNN put him up on the split screen, he had a thousand-yard stare. He didn’t look old. He looked ancient. He looked empty. But at least he wasn’t speaking. Because when it was his time to answer, Biden was incoherent. He said he “beat Medicaid.” (Photo) Asked about abortion, he randomly started talking about migrant crime. “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence,” former President Trump noted at one point, “and I don’t think he knows what he said either.” At one point Biden just froze.

Sure enough, that is exactly what happened. As RedState's Levon Satamian reported, calls are already growing in liberal media circles and beyond for Biden to be replaced as the nominee either at the Democratic National Convention or maybe even sooner than that.
