Legal Insurrection “Harvard must revoke the degrees of alumni whose incendiary language and subversion of democratic processes–rooted in a history of white supremacist voter suppression–incited the violent insurrection on January 6.”
"Lehigh University has already revoked an honorary degree from Trump, and Middlebury Collegeis considering doing the same to Rudy Giuliani.
"What is now happening at Harvard is not about honorary degrees.
"Students and alumni are demanding that the school revoke earned degrees of people who worked in the Trump administration, and even people in other government positions who support him, such as Senator Ted Cruz.

Harvard Campaign Seeks to ‘Revoke Degrees’ of Trump Officials and Trump Allies
Graduate students and alumni of the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) have launched a campaign and petition to revoke the degrees earned by Harvard alumni who worked in the Trump administration and Harvard grads in Congress who support the president.
“Harvard must revoke the degrees of alumni whose incendiary language and subversion of democratic processes — rooted in a history of white supremacist voter suppression — incited the violent insurrection on January 6,” reads the petition, which is headlined “Revoke Their Degrees.”
"Here’s an excerpt from the petition:
The campaign to subvert the outcome of the 2020 presidential election left five dead and nearly killed many more as armed, organized insurrectionists with Confederate flags and Nazi paraphernalia stormed the Capitol in search of members of Congress to kill or capture. Nationwide violence is expected in the weeks to come.
Is Harvard University prepared to take a stand for representative democracy and against violent white supremacy? . . .
. . . The fugitive cop-killer Assata Shakur is routinely celebrated by leftists on college campuses in the United States. The anti-Israel terrorist Rasmea Odeh was often invited to speak at American colleges until she was deported.America will not be lectured about Ted Cruz being a supporter of terrorism by students who attend a school that awarded a degree to Ted Kaczynski, aka the Unabomber. I don’t recall seeing a petition demanding the revocation of his degree.
