Iโm not Jewish, but Iโve been utterly shocked and appalled by the anti-semitism Iโve seen.
And the fact that it has happened so quickly means it was always there waiting for the โrightโ moment to be unleashed.
Itโs disgusting.
@alybatt
Agree. When students take over property, damage it, disrupt the university, it seems students don't understand the concept of freedom.
Thankfully, the police finally arrived to restore order.

Ackman is holding Harvard to the same standard that he holds corporate boards. That is healthy. We are all better off with first-rate governance
@brhodes
What on earth are you talking about? The reality is 180 degrees the opposite.
Israel is clearly smashing Hamas and the civilian casualty ratio is far lower than other wars. And this is urban warfare!
@nypost
He beat his teacher to death with a baseball bat. My level of sympathy is low.
Yes, it's tragic to see someone so young committed to life in prison, but what is the alternative?
@ecomarxi
My 4-step plan:
1. Get rid of Hamas
2. Accept a two-state solution, rather than rejecting it Every Damn Time.
3. Recognize that Israel exited Gaza in 2005.
4. Recognize that Palestinians live better in Israel than in Gaza and maybe there's something to learn there.

I think diversity statements are pretty controversial to most people.
You can be 100% pro-diversity and be very uncomfortable being judged by non-experts on whether your thinking on diversity fits the current fashion.
@JenniferSey
Leaving to see it in 45 mins. Not surprising that Progressive Elites have managed to politicize a movie that addresses the important issue of fighting child trafficking.
@primalpoly
I don't remember the first one, but Denzel Washington in Training Day certainly convinced there are levels to the acting game--and he's at the top.
@WireRacing
This isnโt new. Many have called for allowing the selling organsโthe argument being there would be far more organs available for people who need them.

This is true. Harvard's policy is clear. As is the policy at my university (and I assume most universities). Gay's case is about as clear cut as it can be. Defenders are just crying at the wind at this point.
@DeAngelisCorey
Itโs interesting howโuniversallyโteachers unions oppose school choice. Itโs clear why: it shifts some of the power from the unions to parents.

@SwipeWright
Ian, can you point to four elite-tier peer reviewed journal articles that support your view on this? By elite-tier I mean the very best in the field.
@EdwardGLuce
Alternatively, he doesnโt want Hamas to survive. Netanyahu doesnโt want war. No leader does. He just canโt afford to let Hamas live to see another day.
If thatโs his reasoning, I get it.
@FPWellman
No. That's a misreading.
This was a free-speech case. It doesn't allow someone to deny service. Instead, it protects people from having to say or write things they disagree with.
This means *YOU* cannot be compelled to utter speech you disagree with.
@Vinncent
Has there *ever* been a war, by any nation, at any time in history, where civilians werenโt collaterally involved?
With Hamas, innocent civilians arenโt collateral damage. They are the intended target.
@besttrousers
We shouldnโt control for education level? Experience? Marital status? Industry? Job rank? Age? Location?
I can think of many variables that should be controlled for or else you donโt measure what you think youโre measuring.
@besttrousers
So if a male with 10 years experience gets paid more than a woman with 2 years experience, thatโs evidence of the gender wage gap?
If a male investment banker gets paid more than a female teacher, thatโs evidence of the gender wage gap?
There are countless examples.
@RepKatiePorter
Very True. But thereโs also Democrat math (I think you created it!). Itโs your argument on stock buybacks. That was some creative arithmetic.
@besttrousers
Then how do you determine if a gender wage gap exists unless you control for variables?
BTW you may want to read the research of Harvardโs Claudia Goldin (2023 Nobel Laureate) who has spent her career studying the gender wage gap. It cannot be done without careful controls.
@jshelat1
I think you have misinterpreted your job. You are supposed to teach English. It's not to be an activist about issues that are beyond your area of expertise.
