American decay is flowing from the Ivy League

 Washington Examiner (msn.com)


"There is no one culprit behind the civic, legal, and moral decay the country is facing, but there is one institution that is contributing to the problems far more than it is to any solution: the Ivy League.

"The three Ivy League law graduates on the Colorado Supreme Court were among the four justices who decided they could remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot for being an insurrectionist despite him not even being charged with that crime. As Ivy Leaguers are wont to do, they decided that their own opinion of the world should control how the world works, creating their own trial verdict out of whole cloth to declare that Trump is disqualified from holding federal office as a result.

"Again, it is no coincidence that the three Ivy League graduates on the court (from Harvard, Penn, and Yale, respectively) all backed this legal fabrication that they could unilaterally determine when someone violated a criminal law passed by Congress. The assault on democratic norms and the political decay it will cause to the legal system is just the latest in a banner year for the Ivy League.

"The surge in antisemitism has come primarily from universities, and it has been the worst at Ivy League schools such as Penn and Harvard. In fact, the presidents of both universities were unable to even say that calling for the genocide of Jews violates their respective student codes of conduct. That even as Harvard threatens sanctions against students for not calling other students by their preferred pronouns." . . .
