Last week, Harvard University forbade the best in the world, the decision was a dramatic climbing of the trumpland war against American universities, which had already hit other major schools, such as Columbia.
The decision came after Harvard refused to accept a list of demands contained in a letter from the Trump government of 11 April. It is an important historical document for the analysis of trumpster.
The letter begins with the idea that Harvard receives billions of dollars in financing and that he needs to return to the government. All previous American governments understood that Harvard’s return was to deliver vanguard academic research, which Harvard has always done. For Trump, in exchange for funding, Harvard must promote the president’s party ideology.
The essence of the letter to is the requirement that the affirmative action for blacks is ended and an incomparably broader affirmative action is established for rightists. Trump demands that Harvard gives power and money to everything in accordance with the Trumpist ideology and make power and money from everything that is against it.
Diversity promotion policies are criticized for allegedly violating the principle of academic merit, but as soon as minorities are eventually expelled from the argument, Trump forgets merit and requires their own diversity policy, focused on the promotion of conservatives in administration, among teachers and students. All taxed from top to bottom, under rigid control of the party that is in power.
In the case of Palestinian rights militants, Trump was much further and demanded severe exclusion and repression, as they hinder his hungry kill project and build a resort above.
Trumpist populism is profoundly anti-intellectual and anticientific, deeply resentful of the artistic and academic elite, which in part compensates for the imagination of its militants its cowardice in the face of the economic elite.
Trump’s secretary of health is an anti -vaccin militant. His head of the internal security department declared, at a Senate hearing, “the president’s right to expel anyone who wants from the country.”
The attack on Harvard, besides the obvious purpose of equipment, is a manifestation of this anti-intellectualism. With a bonus: the end of racial inclusion in Harvard Trump voters who are white, poor and racists of having to watch black and black surpassing them in the status hierarchy.
American universities are the best in the world. Along with diplomatic relations with were among the few things in those who did not need repair. Now they are among the many things Trump broke.
The war against universities is further proof that Trump intends to destroy American democracy. Or do you think Donald intends to establish the President’s right to equipment universities and, in four or eight years, give this power to his opponents? The imperial presidency that Trump is building in the third term only makes sense for those who never intend to be a government.
