Laurence Tribe, American legal scholar and former professor
at Harvard Law School, om The Felon’s attacks on higher education:
“What we have discovered is that he is a combination of
ineptitude, vindictiveness, lawlessness and bluster. The people who caved to
him, the universities and the law firms, who thought that if they paid his
ransom, they would be safe, have learned that they’re not safe. He comes back
for more. That’s the way it works. But because of all these demands, the
attempt to take over, essentially, a private educational institution to tell us
what we can teach, to tell our students what they can say, what they can think,
to tell law firms whom they can defend—those efforts are absolutely illegal.
It’s not even a close question. Judges across the spectrum are going to rule
against [The Felon]. We are going to prevail. And in doing, so we hope that we
will give courage to others, because the only way to deal with a bully is to
stand up to him, to stand up in solidarity and say, ‘No, you will not dictate
all of us, you will not control our lives, you will not control our thoughts.”
I think The Felon is jealous that he couldn’t get into Harvard
and so he wants to punish them.
I think The Felon is jealous that he’s an illiterate moron
and Harvard pushes ideas and thoughts and progress and equality.
Keep saying No, Harvard, and I guarantee other colleges and
universities will stand with you.
