Good. None of the people attending this school are good for the world.
There are like 79 Nobel prize winning alumni, with 11 of those being peace prizes. Something tells me that "none" is a pretty low estimate for "good for the world".
Ah, there's another angle on why Trump has decided to focus so much ire on Harvard. Trump is obsessed with winning a Nobel Peace Prize, since Obama got one he wants to have one too.
One of the 8 US presidents who went to Harvard. Including John Adams, both Quincy and senior, to give you an idea of just how long Harvard has been around.
While I agree that Harvard is important/historically relevant, Kissenger has a Nobel peace prize so I consider it kinda irrelevant
Yeah fuck education, make everyone as dumb as us. We ain't don't need to smarts out there.

Sorry I speak facts from verifiable sources. I don't regurgitate fiction books
“Verifiable sources”like…?
Seriously?
Ya because we need more Zuckerburgs right?
The common person isn’t going to Harvard. It’s rich kids who grow up to be capitalists. Fuck rich people.
I get the sentiment, but you're still wrong
Could be. But I am fresh out of sympathy for these people
Cool. So be quiet about it. Starting to lose sympathy for you.
Nah. I’ll say what I want.
Yeah, well expect fewer open doors.
(Sorry if this gets posted multiple times, something went weird with my reply)
They’re coming for Harvard because an elite school is an easy target for public opinion. They really want to oversee what is taught in all American universities.
Why do you feel that way with your feelings?
Harvard produces capitalist asswipes like Zuckerberg who destroy the world searching for endless profits.
They also produce world class doctors, researchers and a number of other professionals...
Did you get a rejection letter?
It sounds as if you’re saying Harvard only produces capitalist apologists. If so, do you know Stephen Marglin? Richard Levins? Paul Farmer? Michael Herzfeld? Terry Eagleton?
Regardless, it’s tempting to dismiss elite academic institutions. They have time and again served the interests of elites. However, they have also been the place where radical and critical thought has burgeoned. Academia holds in its hands the tools to build our prison as well as tools that we can choose to use to escape from that prison.
