Harvard U: No Republicans or Conservatives and (Few) White Christians Need Apply

By David Horowitz

(Excerpt From the Article)

......Hut diversity at Harvard obviously does not reflect the diversity of America. It just mirrors the leftwing worldview. In this view white Christians are a demonized group and discriminating against them is "social justice." White Christians - and I say this as a Jew myself - built Harvard and created America's freedoms. But while white Christians make up 73% of the American population, they are only 17% of the population at Harvard. Like the exclusion of conservatives from Harvard's faculty, this does not happen by accident but by ideological design.

I recently commissioned a survey of the attitudes of Ivy League professors. (Frank Luntz conducted the poll for the Center for the Study of Popular Culture.) The results were interesting if not a surprise. Only 3% of Ivy League professors identified themselves as Republicans, and only 6% as conservatives. Double those figures. Triple them. What they still reveal is a national academic disgrace. Not even Senator McCarthy was able to repress ideas he opposed as effectively as Harvard's hiring committees have suppressed the conservative viewpoints they despise and fear......

A few years ago, Pat Buchanan pointed out the fact that White Christians are blatantly under-represented at Harvard. According to Horowitz's statistics from the column above, White American Christians are 73 percent of the population, but are only 17 percent of Harvard.

Buchanan also pointed out that Asians and Jews are statistically over-represented at Harvard at 5 to 10 times their percentage in the population, while blacks and hispanics are only slightly under-represented.

By making those observations, Buchanan was widely denounced by both liberals and neoconservatives as a racist and an anti-semite.

Now, Horowitz is saying the same exact things that Pat Buchanan said a few years ago. Are the establishment liberals and neoconservatives, going to denounce David Horowitz, in the same way that they denounced Pat Buchanan?

you bet.....

And it's really sad when you consider the fact that Harvard was instituted for the stated purpose of training ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

How the mighty have fallen.

NOPE and here is why.......

Interestingly, Harvard Law is more than willing to harbour at least one openly racist organization, the BLSA (Harvard Black Law Student's Association). This has in its national charter not only that ALL Black law students are automatically members (not that there is any legitimacy in such a statement), but that ONLY Black people are welcome.

Would they tolerate a White Christian organization that only allows White Christians? I think not. I am not saying I am opposed to any organization wanting to limit its membership as it sees fit; it is the flaming double standard that bothers me.

I believe that Cornell has an even smaller percentage, according to a recent piece in the American Enterprise. (To order "Ithaca is the City of Evil" merchandise, courtesy of FREEPER "the," Click Here).

Harvard U: No Republicans or Conservatives and (Few) White Christians Need Apply

Basically the same theme/finding as on a late cover article of The American Enterprise.

Although knowledgeable commentators such as Dennis Prager think that the natural/physical
sciences division of universities are (generally) immune from the lack of political diversity
in the faculties...he is not totally correct.

All you had to do is see the Thomas Jefferson-Sally Hemmings affair and the
involvement of a molecular biologist from Oxford. I got to see this fellows findings
that said Jefferson fathered a child (children) of Hemmisngs shredded by
John McLaughlin on his "One-On-One" show.

This Oxford molecular biologist still said that he beleived that Jefferson must have
fathered the child based on the evidence (that any reasonable scientist would
have said Jefferson MIGHT have been the father) BECAUSE OF THE HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS.

Just an example of how liberal groupthink is creeping into even the science faculties.

It happened in the universities of the USSR...it's happening here as well.
Amd we will suffer for it. Hopefully we won't be suffering famines like the
USSR did when Lysenko was able to promote bankrupt ideas about plant genetics, just
because their Lamarkian characteristics seemed to fit with the ideals of Communistic striving.

Stories like this make me proud to live in the Lone Star State!

I am coining the phrase "American Axis of Evil." Education, Entertainment & Mainstream Media. Education, from grade school through college is dominated by liberals, which gives them the chance to influence our young. Entertainment is dominated by liberals who bias their productions with liberal "think." Mainstream media is where Joe Sixpack gets his nightly soundbyte propoganda. I can think of no other groups in such powerfull positions to hold this much influence over America.

Now all you need to do is make it a thread, that is very good and correct!

White American Christians are 73 percent of the population, but are only 17 percent of Harvard.

Sounds like White Christians are becoming an endangered species in American academia.

I'm dreaming of a White Christian, just like the ones I used to know . . .

I hope that people clearly understand that one does not go to Harvard or its ilk to get a real education. One goes there to get a credential. Of course, one must compromise one's beliefs in order to jusmp through the necessary hoops.

I understand that the Devil does a similar good deal with the soul-selling business. Perhaps Harvard is just a branch division. . .

[freebilly]

Only 3% of Ivy League professors identified themselves as Republicans, and only 6% as conservatives

I think those #'s are overstated by at least 50%....

Seriously, the conservatives I know are too busy running businesses to be cogs in a propaganda mill (either a liberal one or a conservative one).

[jstone78]

Here is the column that Buchanan wrote on the subject: http://www.buchanan.org/pa-98-1127.html

It is the most controversial column that Buchanan has written over the last 5 years. Poor Pat was buried under an avalanche of hateful abuse by both liberals and neoconservatives.

Anyone interested in making it a new discussion thread?

I think it was the anti-semetism that undermined the relevent point.

[ladyinred]

A you are sadly correct bump!

This is the first I've heard of this. If this information gets out into the mainstream media (which it probably never will) then Harvard's reputation will go down the toilet.
