Harvard would be a champion at Unamerican History and anti-Western Civilization.

Tycho Brahe?

Grove City certainly won that one by a nose.

I’m afraid to know what the revisionist questions and answers would be.

Yes, but for Harvard to get that far, the admissions office must have made a mistake in admitting those particular students.

Does Harvard University even know about a subject called American History?

But surely they had a prize for the most woke team, also?

“Harvard would be a champion at Unamerican History and anti-Western Civilization.”
Agree.

Harvard STEM is good, but they’ve sh*t upon their lib arts areas...following along with the rest of the (rotten) Ivy League.

Yearly tuition at Harvard is $67,580.

At Grove City? $17,900.

Delicious Irony. You DON’T always get what you pay for.

Grove City, along with Michigan’s Hillsdale College, are the only two institutions of higher learning in this country which refuse to take Federal money.

Hey, they left it just hanging there.

This is NOT fair. Harvard and Princeton students have to learn “Woke History,” which Grove city students do not. Who has time to learn ACTUAL history and still be peak woke??

Harvard is coasting on a reputation from decades ago. It has transformed into an easy school that is hard to get into, and it’s main purpose is to sheep dip the whelps of the right people into the swamp.

But a list as long as your arm is much more difficult and rigorous, and I truly believe blind testing of recent graduates would fully bear this out in any discipline except the social “sciences”. Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Colorado School of mines, New Mexico Tech, Cal Tech, MIT, The Air Force Academy, Annapolis, Georgia Tech, UTA, and many others turn our far better educated kids.

Every honest person can see this with their own eyes.

Reminds me of a joke....Don't ask me why.

A good looking man walked into an agent's office in Hollywood and said, "I want to be a movie star."

Tall, handsome, and with experience on Broadway, he had the right credentials. The agent asked, "What's your name?"

The guy said, "My name is Penis van Lesbian."

The agent said, "Sir, I hate to tell you, but in order to get into Hollywood , you are going to have to change your name."

"I will NOT change my name! The van Lesbian name is centuries old, I will not disrespect my grandfather by changing my name. Not ever."

The agent said, "Sir, I have worked in Hollywood for years...you will NEVER go far in Hollywood with a name like Penis van Lesbian! I'm telling you, you will HAVE TO change your name or I will not be able to represent you."

"So be it! I guess we will not do business together," the guy said and he left the agent's office.

FIVE YEARS LATER......The agent opens an envelope sent to his office. Inside the envelope is a letter and a check for $50,000. The agent is awe-struck, who would possibly send him $50,000? He reads the letter enclosed...

Dear Sir,

Five years ago, I came into your office wanting to become an actor in Hollywood , you told me I needed to change my name. Determined to make it with my God-given birth name, I refused. You told me I would never make it in Hollywood with a name like Penis van Lesbian.

After I left your office, I thought about what you said. I decided you were right. I had to change my name. I had too much pride to return to your office, so I signed with another agent. I would never have made it without changing my name, so the enclosed check is a token of my appreciation.

Thank you for your advice.

Sincerely,

Dick van Dyke

An MBA from Harvard is quite well thought of...

Sounds about right, the Harvard Law Debate always gets their clock cleaned when they debate the Jailhouse Lawyers.
