Even those who aren’t surprised by the simple fact of Donald Trump’s assault on America’s universities must be shocked by the full frontal magnitude of it all, belated attempts to walk back parts of it, notwithstanding. (Harvard is putting up a courageous, clever, and effective defense.)
What’s your suggestion? We can’t exactly peer into the future and see who will use their education for good or evil. The point of an educated populace is to be able to spot and stop movements like Trump’s before we get into this position in the first place.
