Harvard Students Demand School Revoke Degrees For Trump Supporters Who Work In Government
Harvard
Students and alumni at Harvard are demanding that the school revoke
the degrees of graduates who worked in the Trump administration and
other parts of government.
That would include people like Senator Ted Cruz and Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas.
Harvard Campaign Seeks to ‘Revoke Degrees’ of Trump Officials and Trump Allies
Graduate students and alumni of the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS)
have launched a campaign and petition to revoke the degrees earned by
Harvard alumni who worked in the Trump administration and Harvard grads
in Congress who support the president.
“Harvard must revoke the degrees of alumni whose
incendiary language and subversion of democratic processes — rooted in a
history of white supremacist voter suppression — incited the violent
insurrection on January 6,” reads the petition, which is headlined
“Revoke Their Degrees.”
Here’s part of the petition:
The campaign to subvert the outcome of the 2020 presidential
election left five dead and nearly killed many more as armed, organized
insurrectionists with Confederate flags and Nazi paraphernalia stormed
the Capitol in search of members of Congress to kill or capture.
Nationwide violence is expected in the weeks to come.
Is Harvard University prepared to take a stand for representative democracy and against violent white supremacy?
It’s no secret that over a dozen Harvard graduates worked hard to
spread the disinformation and mistrust that created last Wednesday’s
insurrection – from Representative Dan Crenshaw (HKS ‘17), who supported
the December Texas lawsuit to invalidate the election, to Senator Ted
Cruz (HLS ’97), one of the loudest claimants of fraud and a rare senator
still objecting to the election certification after the violence at the
Capitol, to White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany (HLS ’17), who
dutifully denies the validity of the election.
Harvard must revoke the degrees of alumni whose
incendiary language and subversion of democratic processes–rooted in a
history of white supremacist voter suppression–incited the violent
insurrection on January 6. This includes all who have used their
platforms to deny the validity of the presidential election. They do not
and should not represent a university committed to “strengthening
democracy” and “the advancement of justice.”
Here’s an important reminder:
