If Harvard didn't have double standards, it wouldn't have any. Remember when former Harvard president Claudine Gay attended the lighting of the menorah (and got absolutely dragged for it)?
Well, that menorah had to be hidden at night because Harvard couldn't guarantee it wouldn't be vandalized by those oh-so-tolerant Ivy League students.
But guess what Harvard does deem worthy of protection?
Remember when Jews at Harvard had to bring in their menorah every night at Hanukkah because the school couldn’t guarantee it wouldn’t be vandalized? This “apartheid wall” is on display now at Harvard yard, complete with quotes from terrorists, guarded 24/7 by school security. pic.twitter.com/IBAS0RmmxL

When they tell you what their priorities are, believe them.
The inspirational quote by the way, which they attribute proudly in their art project, is from the spokesperson for the PFLP - a Palestinian Marxist-Leninist terror organization that is known for hijacking planes and planting bombs that murdered dozens of civilians worldwide. pic.twitter.com/zP1fc4F6IL

So a display proudly quoting actual terrorists gets protection, but a menorah does not.
This is peak Harvard.
What is stopping the pro-Israel camp from putting up a wall showcasing Israel's contributions to tech, health, humanitarian aid for disasters, etc.?

The same thing that made them bring in the menorah at night.
The anti-semitic, Hamas terrorist-loving Leftists on campus.
Havard is a garbage institution filled with awful people.

It has taken a stellar reputation and trashed it on the altar of woke.
and watch, you burn it or throw a tomato at it, the entire campus and admin will come down on you like Thor's own hammer

That, of course, would be a hate crime.
Harvard is vigorously budlighting itself. I guess with billions in endowments you can do that.

Bud Light as a verb. Creative.
They’re beyond creepy at this point.
— Matthew Condon (@MatthewCondon15) April 4, 2024
Creepy isn't the word we'd use, but they're beyond it for sure.
Institutional double standards against Jews? Is there a term for that?? https://t.co/DfpiJPhkM4
— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) April 3, 2024
We think so.
Harvard supports murder, rape, & kidnapping. https://t.co/zANArsJvkT

And genocide. Don't forget the genocide.
That is because @harvard cares more about antisemites than Jews. https://t.co/W9e3qo4Mim

Nailed it.
This is the sort of double standard that is getting universities in trouble. Lack of institutional neutrality carries legal risk. https://t.co/uR7aJld6Zm

They don't seem to care.
If this had been Harvard in the 1990s, I never would have applied. Applications are down at Harvard this year; evidently you can't attract the best students if you're a hotbed of antisemitism. Without change, it's going to become known for this trash, a shell of its former self. https://t.co/qyOnvwmnaX

This writer has a son who is going to be a senior in the fall (hang on, she needs a moment after typing that).
Harvard could offer him a full ride and we'd turn it down.
Harvard needs one standard for everybody. https://t.co/ckdKWffqBw
— Melissa Braunstein (@slowhoneybee) April 3, 2024
Leftism, with its emphasis on intersectionality, is incapable of having one standard for everybody.
The kicker - "guarded 24/7 by school security." An apolitical Jewish religious symbol isn't worth @Harvard's effort, but an extremist political stunt advocating destruction of a sovereign state gets round-the-clock protection. This is a double standard and it is anti-Semitism. https://t.co/zFyQfo6zit
— Jonathan Levin (@JNLevin) April 3, 2024
Yes it is.
And we all see it.
Almost like Harvard didn’t learn anything. https://t.co/pIGdAu4BLu

And for an institution of higher education, you'd think they would.
Seriously parents, why would you send your kids to @Harvard?@RadCentrism https://t.co/QpgwhWO1I0
— Nathaniel Hawthorne's Ghost (@Hawthorne_Ghost) April 4, 2024
Good question.
Unless you want them indoctrinated by Leftists and taught to hate white people and Jews, it's probably smart to send them pretty much anywhere else for college.
