I don't agree with what the Trump administration is doing in withholding the funds, but I'm not sure I totally agree with why Harvard is saying what they are saying. The government only has a say in what they teach or research to the extent they take money from the government. If they don't take the money, they can do whatever they want within the bounds of the law. So this feels a bit like grandstanding more than taking an actual stand. Of course, this is Harvard, where they have plenty of money in their endowment to fund whatever they want. I guess I'd be more sympathetic if it were a smaller private school that was having their funding pulled.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post
The GOP is forgetting the rule that whatever you do to them will be done to you in four years. They are acting like they'll be in power forever and it's going to come back and bite them hard once Liberty and BYU get put under review for their "Christian" value-based rules."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Agree on your second point. On the first point, maybe Harvard is one of a few schools that can take this on and fight for the other schools.Originally posted by Moliere View Post

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Except that the GOP routinely makes the argument for "school choice" when they claim that the government can't discriminate who it gives money to based on viewpoint, i.e. private schools getting public education funds.Originally posted by Moliere View Post

Either the grant process is focused on the science and the merits, or it isn't. If it isn't, it's just patronage.

now a 19 yr old sent to el salvador, officers knew he wasnt the target but arrested and sent him anyways
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ed-el-salvador
this will happen to citizens and no one will see them again.
The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said: ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said: ‘Take him anyway,’” he recalled.

Yeah, it would be great if all universities came together on this and presented a united front, although I’m not sure what threats they could make.Originally posted by myboynoah View Post

"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

Federal money comes with strings, but some of the demands they made on Harvard were absurd. This is a terrible precedent.Originally posted by Moliere View Post

This should be sounding more alarm bells than it is. Trump and his corrupt buddy in El Salvador laughing about it is sick.
