Harvard Yard closed to the public after vandalism of John Harvard statue, administration building

Harvard acted to bar outsiders from the Yard after somebody, apparently not affiliated with the university, vandalized the statue and the building with red paint as a protest against Israeli actions in Gaza, the Crimson reports.

To bringing the war home?

Kid, Harvard ain't your home.

The Crimson article says this is only an "overnight" closure and not a full closure to the public like what we saw last spring (and intermittently during some of Harvard's post-Covid reopening). I don't know what hours count as "overnight".

Thank you President Carter……………..NOT!

President Carter is my favorite President. My mom took me to Daley Plaza to see him when I was knee high and I always hold his humanism close to my heart, but the iniquities of the post 2nd intifada’s security demands are not a product of any apartheid in the Israeli heart, but in the commitment to ethnically cleanse jews from their homeland. So, I wonder if President Carter’s application, normalization and the granting permission to abuse and wound israel with the word “apartheid” is actually rooted justice, or is it more deeply rooted in an antipathy for a Jewish state?
