Can you lie and pretend you're conservative and get free scholarships? Would be funny

Disgusting and cowardly. Like, it's already miserable of them to buckle to charges of facilitating crime (which I think they did relative to protestors), but there's not even an accusation of that level involved here, they're just bootlicking!

Also, it's just stupid to give conservatives that much more power when they're the ones bullying you in the first place.

“Equality is bad unless it’s equality of opinion (except for left-leaning opinions, we find them annoying so therefore they’re wrong!)”

Thinking about creating The center for ‘conservative’ scholarship…

But we already have a Harvard at home

Why do chuds even want this? Their whole shtick is that they’re all too cool to care about learning.

This isn’t for you, go back to watching football.

They want more opportunities to indoctrinate the youths

Part of this is about direct backlash, but there’s also the issue of rankings. If Trump appointments more judges that didn’t go to liberal Ivy League law schools and those judges selects clerks that didn’t go to liberal Ivy League law schools, Harvard could take a hit in the law school (and other departments) rankings. Last thing Harvard wants is their reputation as the pathway to elite jobs sullied.

Tell us about your calipers.

My... calipers?

Yes. For example - are they titanium or wood?

Oh! [Smiling broadly] Wood. I'm a traditionalist.

It’s gonna take me a while up finish up that book, but it’s blowing my mind every chapter I get through. Seeing the echoes of these systems, structures, and attitudes reverberate through today is wild.
