Harvard is a hundred different things and places, prominent, alas, among them is its deeply unattractive antisemitic streak. But if Israel is Little Satan, America is Satan Central. So believes Claudine Gay, a race hire, mediocrity, and phony who plays the victim. So believe the Trot faculty and Trot-in-three-wheelers students. I’m glad Gay’s done. Harvard and its ways looked ridiculous.

Yet they’re from Harvard, so they’ve got authority. Harvard has money, history, and visibility. Many of the students will have real power. These conditions are why, no matter how bad they get, we can’t give up on our great colleges and universities.
