No university is entitled to the visa program. The government has always made decisions about which universities do or do not get access. You just don’t like this particular decision.

The government revoking busa programs for a college based entirely out of petty revenge is deeply authoritarian

I agree with you. Visa programs have always been selective and have been granted and revoked dozens of times over. I think people are too stuck in that entitlement attitude.

It’s not petty revenge. Harvard has had a very visible and documented last few years of increasing anti semitism. That was reported by the Biden DOJ and Department of Education. And now the trump administration. Also independent evaluators have all deemed Harvard having the same issue. This is the punishment for not addressing the issue.

You’d think that if trump cared about antisemitism he might tell his top advisor to not do Nazi salutes on stage, or maybe he wouldn’t be meeting up for dinner with people like nick Fuentes. It’s easy to go along with surface level lip service but I think we should know better than to take trump at his word

Okay here we are again getting emotional. Let’s look at facts and leave our feelings for people out of this. Does Harvard have an issue of anti semitism on campus - Yes. Was it documented by multiple authentic sources - Yes. Was a punishment needed to discourage this from continuing - Yes.

Not emotional at all. If you know that trumps past actions align more with Nazis than people concerned about antisemitism, it helps you understand what his true motives are. If he’s unbothered by neoNazis and their rhetoric, why would he care to act against antisemitism? Additionally, how does revoking a universities ability to welcome international students help curb antisemitism? Is this a reasonable method that is expected to succeed? Is there any precedent for this?

Okay I’m not going to address your Nazi comments because they’re just baseless and reactionary. And to answer your question yes administrations have terminated universities ability to allow foreign students before this isn’t new. How it’s expected to help curb anti semitism I’m not sure I’m not in the government. I’d assume hurting Harvards bottom line or limiting their ability to import talent making them fall behind other ivy leagues.

Did trump invite nick Fuentes to Mara largo for dinner? Did Elon musk preform a Nazi salute on stage? Unless you can honestly answer “no” to those questions then my claim is not baseless

And of course youre not sure, because the policy doesn’t make sense. Trump is a man who operates based on vindictiveness and retribution. He punishes law firms who represent his enemies just like he punishes universities who refuse to bend to his will

See here you go again just saying stuff. I have very strong opinions on Israel and their Gaza operations. I’m against almost everything they’ve done there. But I’m not going to let that blind me from what’s happening clearly. And I’m saying real stories as in anything other than msnbc and fox. Just read and stay away from the opinion pieces.

That’s an astonishing way to twist the reality of something we all saw and would be ashamed to do in public but you are entitled to your opinion. I like how you avoided the second point. Did Donald trump invite nick Fuentes, a well known Neo Nazi and kkk member, to dinner at Mara lago?

Do I think there’s been an increase in white supremacism and nazism. I’d have to think about that a little more but I wouldn’t say it’s been an increase probably standard levels is what I would assume.

🫣 liberals are astonishing that’s for sure. I mean I just don’t know what else to say about this. You refuse to see the problem. When there’s a solution you refuse to acknowledge it. And when you start losing you just keep repeating the same shit over and over and over. I mean there’s just nothing left to say about this is the reason America is so polarized. Every differing opinion is the anti christ to you.

Bro you could’ve saved yourself all that typing and just said “I don’t have an answer to that”. I’ll help you out though; yes, Donald trump did invite well known Neo Nazi and kkk member nick Fuentes to have dinner with him at Mara lago. He does not care about protecting Jewish people
