Harvard, let students practice what you teach. You teach democracy, diversity, freedom of expression and ethics but you punish them for practicing the same. Don’t mold the students into your own mold of hypocrisy. Worth listening the whole speech. Shruti Kumar put in jeopardy her graduate school admission and job prospects to stand up for Palestine. Bravo.

They should have stopped the pro Palestine by teaching critical thinking, common sense, freedom.of expression and life skills to understand consequences of action. But Harvard has embraced DEI which is the exact opposite of these foundations of a free and Democratic ( obviously not Democrats) country. Because , in part, they have taught stupidity the students are regurgitating stupid thinking.

[@grasshopperye3593]

Yeah, I'm sure you have the critical thinking these harvard educated students supposedly lack lol. I don't think coming from Harvard is an indisputable sign of intelligence or critical thinking--but I certainly don't believe you have any claim to intelligence either, from your statement. While I'm sure you feel great telling us that these kids actually lack common sense and critical thinking, I'd be fascinated to hear you present some evidence based argument to that effect? Otherwise, talk about your feelings to your family.

I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 6 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 15,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 45,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967717415667 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~«««~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡♡♡~~~: ~:~¡~¡~¡~;I.i.i.i.i.i. i.I.|-..

[@martinconneally8756]

Don't bring your organization into disrepute then. Clearly her freedom of speech is not violated. She talks too much. Whilst they should be concentrating on learning their chosen profession their minds are elsewhere. Their minds are in another country with a religion that's at odds with the western way of life. Am I really supposed to pay these well off students to be doctors to me whilst they express their contempt for my people. Not good at all. I suggest they do what they are there for and learn. Sounding smart is not the same as being smart. Remember that Muslim brothersv whilst you integrate with our ways. To think you could change us to suit yourselves is the same as the Muslim world calling for the destruction of Israel . Hasn't worked out well has it?
