There was a time, in my lifetime, that a Harvard degree carried a certain panache; there was at least a veneer of “class”, of excellence (if snobbery) to it.
No longer. A Harvard “education” is now known to be little more than a very, very expensive indoctrination in leftist theory, demagoguery, and outright idiocy.
As an employer, a Harvard degree would be viewed by many now as a detriment vs. a gold star next to a candidate’s name. Personally, I wouldn’t give a hoot in Hell for a Harvard grad. It would prove one thing, and one thing only to me: this idiot either had money, or worse, went deep into debt to be brainwashed.
That's a stretch.
In order to experience humiliation, you have to have some semblance of a conscience, or at least some feeling of regard for those before whom you've been exposed. Neither of these elements is present in the Harvard faculty.
This entire episode will be buried, never to be spoken of again. Ms. Warren will be induced to move along after a decent interval, probably by a combination of an attractive offer from some privately-funded advocady group (Planned Parenthood might be looking for a new director) and having her office moved to the basement of the whatever is the ugliest, oldest, smelliest building that belongs to the Harvard Law School.
Harvard will move on also, as arrogant and full-of-itself as ever.
Harvard's new motto: Very PC
I once received an RFP from a southwestern Indian tribe (I can’t remember if it was Apache or Navajo). Anyway, much of the legalese in the Request wanted to know if I was a Native American, how many Native Americans were employed in my company and if I didn’t have any, why not? My first inclination was to throw it in the trash, but I was so po’d by the PC nature of this drivel that I wrote them back, advising them that I was unable to submit a proposal because although there was a family rumor that my great grandmother was 1/4 Cherokee I had no proof of that and felt “unqualified” to work for them. I hoped my sarcasm was in proportion to their asininity.
In any event, I received a reply virtually begging me to submit a proposal and ignore the racist crap in the RFP. Evidently, the woman who replied was a victim of the bureaucratic PC verbiage requirement probably written by a federal official.
Most people I run across know this verbiage in contracts is garbage. Perhaps Prof. Warren’s debacle will help to laugh it out of existence.
I’m sure there are genetic tests available now that could substantiate or disprove Ms Warren’s claim with 99% accuracy.
