Quoted context

These are the quoted author’s words.

Turned on my phone after 3 days of Passover to learn the Trump administrations is cutting $2.2 billion in federal grants to Harvard. Eight quick and easy points: 1. This entire showdown boils down to Harvard insisting on violating civil rights law and the Trump administration refusing to allow Americans to fund said violations of civil rights law anymore. 2. The federal government withheld funds to racist schools that refused to integrate. The federal government withheld funds to sexist schools that refused to combat sexual assault. Stop pretending this is somehow an unprecedented threat on higher education and instead recognize these campuses have egregiously violated the rights of Jewish American students. 3. Harvard has no rights under the constitution to federal funds. Harvard students have a right under the constitution not to be discriminated against. Harvard is insisting on the first point but not the second. 4. If Harvard doesn't want the federal government to have a say in their education, then they can choose at literally any point in time to stop taking 9 billion dollars in American taxpayer money. 5. Harvard is neither brave nor principled for refusing to comply, they're elites who've been paying less in taxes for decades than school teachers and firemen. They expect you to keep subsidizing their classes, classes that have consistently been proven to teach kids to hate America and discriminate against Jews, Asians, and Whites. 6. Harvard wrote the federal government can't tell them who to "admit and hire." They literally can. It's called the Civil Rights Act. It's truly remarkable to see that even after a year and a half, Harvard is still run by some of the lowest IQ lawyers at WilmerHale who don't even bother to read their statements aloud anymore. 7. Jewish American students should not be facing discrimination in class. Due to their university refusing to fix that problem, there is no other solution than for the federal government to intervene. 8. The federal government forcing Harvard to comply with the constitution or lose funding is a damning indictment on how unaccountable and reckless American colleges have become, all the while amassing billions in tax breaks.
