Can you explain how you intend to hold people accountable for being 'horrible', if their behaviour is not a crime?

At the moment, I don’t intend to. But the folks in the OP seek to strip them of academic credentials.

I don't see any reference to Harvard on Donald Trump's Wikipedia entry.

Donald Trump - Wikipedia

As I understand it, Harvard students want any Harvard alumni who have worked with/for Donald Trump to have their diplomas revoked.


There seem to be a lot of vindictive idiots on the Left. It's not so long ago that people on the Left were calling for those who worked for or supported Trump to be blacklisted so that they could never work again. Let's not beat around the bush, these are tactics that are intended to silence any dissent. If you don't comply, you and your family will die cold, homeless, and hungry, through lack of work and income.

There are laws in civilised countries, and if you break them you can expect punishment, but being of the wrong political inclination is not, and should not, be a crime. Why do people on the Left so often seem to want to create some kind of para-legal, and para-judicial system for punishing those that they disagree with? You can call them idiots, or stupid, but I think that's a rather lazy and inadequate argument for something that keeps cropping up again and again.

It’s not Trump’s degree they’re after. You’re correct that he’s not a Harvard alum. According to the article, the students are asking that Harvard revoke the degrees of 3 specific alumni: Ted Cruz; Texas House Rep Dan Crenshaw; and WH Press Secretary Kaleighy McEnany. All of whom they say are Trump enablers.

Ah. I was wondering hat it was about. (I was too lazy to read the articles.)

if a Harvard graduate thinks that Congress can overturn Electoral college vote then it is very clear that the student didn’t even pass the high school Civic class, let alone passing all the classes at Harvard. They should revoke the diploma.

A number of people lost their jobs after being identified as part of the Trump Capitol riot a few weeks ago. Seems like the free market has a solution for the problem.

Okay, follow up question. How is the university hypocrites because they didn't do anything?
If it had been a conservative group that the university didn't like, they would be banned from campus.
(Sorry for so many edits.)

You missed the link and are grasping at straws.
Well, there wasn't a link in the post I responded to. In the next post that wasn't addressed to anyone there's a link. Is there an instance of Harvard University banning anyone from campus in that article?

It's post #52.
I know, I saw it. Not only is that article not about Harvard, it isn't about anyone banning anyone from any campus. So yeah, you're just making stuff up.
