Harvard Antisemitism Task Force Report Is Scathing

Both my parents graduated from Harvard, as did one of my siblings. At the time of his admission, my father was admitted despite his Jewish heritage because at the time, the prestigious university was as fond of admitting Jews as it is of admitting Asians today. 

Harvard was WASP heaven then, and it is woke heaven now. Neither extreme is admirable, but on balance, the woke are miles worse than the WASPs. The WASPs were obsessed with protecting their social class, while the woke are convinced that the world would be a better place if only their class enemies were dead. If you have to choose between arrogance and adherence to a murderous ideology, I guess you have to take arrogance. 

Harvard has never been the paragon of moral contemplation that it imagined itself to be, but it contributed, on balance, a lot to America. Many of the greatest scholars in the Western world found a home at Harvard and other prestigious colleges and universities, and if they had never existed, the world would be a diminished place. 

Today? I would love to see them thrown onto the ash heap of history, as Marxists like to say. They are moral cesspools.

Harvard’s motto, famously, is “Veritas,” which is Latin for “The Truth.” Universities were once dedicated to finding the truth, contemplating the moral universe, and for hundreds of years, the exposition of Christianity and contemplating the mind of God. Until recently Harvard’s official seal included the phrase “Veritas Christo et Ecclesiae” which, translated from Latin, means “Truth for Christ and the Church.” 

You can still find that seal emblazoned on buildings throughout the campus. Expect the phrase to be sandblasted off at some point. 

Harvard, as with almost all modern universities, is not a place of learning but a reeducation camp dedicated to tearing down Western Civilization, and nothing symbolizes that reality more than the rise of hate-based instruction aimed at “decolonizing” the West. 

What is striking, if not surprising to anybody who has followed the rapid decline of our institutions of higher education, is that the most damning accounts of antisemitic hate outlined in the recently released report on antisemitism at Harvard are not of student activists’ behavior–kids will be kids–but of how the anti-semitiic and anti-Western hate is driven by instruction in the curriculum itself. 

The graphic above is from a slide presented as part of a required Harvard Graduate School of Education course. Every student must take this course, and what is being taught is pure hatred for Western culture, Jews, religion, and, ironically, the founding principles of Harvard itself. Notice how the Anti-Defamation League is listed as just below genocide, along with “All Lives Matter?”

The report also outlines startling conduct within the medical school, where students actively worked to “discourage Zionist students from coming here.”

There are countless examples of professors and instructors bullying students into accepting and repeating hateful sentiments, and the curriculum is filled with propaganda aimed at stirring up a revolution against our culture and society.

If the old Harvard of the mid-20th century was mostly dedicated to preserving the privileges of the WASP class that ran America then, the new Harvard is dedicated to destroying everything they and others in America built. 

As horrifying as the instances of antisemitism laid out in the Presidential Task Force on Combatting Antisemitism and anti-Israeli Bias are, they pale in importance to the fact that these biases are merely a subset of an anti-Western bias that is destroying a culture that has gifted so much to the world. 

Harvard’s antisemitism is not some irrational reaction to the Hamas-Israel war; it is of a piece with the anti-civilizational push that you can find at most major college campuses. Higher education has declared itself an enemy of civilization itself. Hating Jews, especially Israeli Jews, is just a symptom of a larger disease. 

Israel is the main outpost of Western Civilization in a hostile region. Destroying it would be the first of many victories, at least as the barbarians inside the gates see it.
