What's this?

Yeah. Terrible. Try calling for bringing back

slavery and lynching of uppity blacks on Harvard’s campus and see how long that speech is protected by Harvard. But genocide against Jews is ok?

I think some heads will actually roll for this. There were a lot of rich donors that were pulling their funding already… this will just broaden the donation freezes.
