Victor Davis Hanson on Harvard's President, Claudine Gay

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Here I read the transcript, only edited slightly for clarity and concision, of Hoover/Stanford Senior Fellow, Victor Davis Hanson's analysis of Harvard's current president, Claudine Gay. Here is the link to that and the other Hanson podcasts: art19.com/shows/the-victor-da...

    Thank you Marty. Harvard's policies have trashed the standing that took centuries to build in just a couple of decades.

    It is not just Harvard's policies that have trashed standards. Standards in ALL educational institutions have been progressively lowered in order to accommodate one or two demographics that simply cannot keep up, cannot be expected to keep up and by lowering standards you will allow them to live with the illusion that they have reached the pinnacle of edgiemucashion! Take a look at the school districts in Baltimurder, and you will know exactly what I am talking about. Where students are 'gradumacated' with an astonishing 0.03% GPA. In California (although they will not admit this now) 70% of black students who have graduated read at the grade III level. See Dick run. See Jane laugh when Dick runs. See Spot biting Dick's ankle as he runs. The governor of Oregon has nearly scrapped all educational requirements for any kind of learning - to accommodate students of colour. And so on and so forth.

    It is tremendously confusing to see people who have become successful and powerful, who have leaped over more qualified individuals, claim that there is systemic issues preventing them from succeeding. Harvard has been on a downward spiral for decades now, their degree is no different than a Prada bag, a fancy restaurant, or a luxury sports car: It's an expensive thing one can show off, but isn't really any good.
