Harvard elites are such a bunch of Snooty McSnoot-Snoots. Take this write up from The New Republic on Christopher Rufo.

Rufo, over the years, has come after institutions like Harvard for their ridiculous DEI programs and woke mob ideologies. It’s no wonder Vox says Rufo spreads “dangerous fictions” that that “America has been quietly taken over by the ideological heirs of 1960s radicals”. Yep, “fiction”. Or that he “exaggerates and misrepresents” events held at Fortune 500 Companies and in our educational landscape provided by consultancies such as White Men As Full Diversity Partners. Complete exaggerations that these events include white people cashing in on telling other white people to “recognize” their privilege while living in white neighborhoods, with very white schools and white friends and white hobbies…

…you get the drift. Now, back to Harvard. Mr. Rufo matriculated at Harvard Extension School. Which, to some, is not the “real” Harvard:

But that description, and similar ones on Wikipedia, in the press release DeSantis’s office sent out, and on Rufo’s personal website, are at the very least misleading. Rufo received a Master’s in Liberal Arts in Government from Harvard Extension School in 2022, the school confirmed in an email to The New Republic. Harvard Extension School, in a nutshell, is part of the renowned institution, but it is not Harvard as most people know it (a Harvard student once joked that it’s the “back door” to Harvard). The school describes itself as an ‘open-enrollment institution prioritizing access, equity, and transparency.’ Eligibility for the school is, according to its website, ‘largely based on your performance in up to three requisite Extension degree courses, depending on your field, that you must complete with distinction.’ High school grades and SAT and ACT scores aren’t required at the institution.”-Daniel Strauss

Pfft. Wikipedia? Are you for real, Mr. Strauss? That’s some extensive “research” there, dude. A “back door” to Harvard? High school grades and SAT/ACT scores not required here? Funny that The New Republic points this out. I thought “test scores aren’t everything”? I mean, David Hogg got in with a 1270 SAT score. He must have gotten in the “front door” to “real” Harvard on his mellifluous personality. Yeah, we’re sure that’s it.

There are those who are saying that Christopher Rufo is not (pinkies out) “their kind”:

Harvard Extension School is meant to be a way for a larger swath of people to gain access to Harvard and receive some kind of accreditation from it.

Acceptance rates are very low and tuition rates are higher at other Harvard graduate schools that are really what a person is supposed to be referring to when he puts ‘Harvard’ on his resume.”-Daniel Strauss

Perhaps it is a way for the “larger swath” who actually has to work hard at a day job and can not get in to Harvard by pedigree or ideology alone. According to this Strauss cat, Rufo should never have attached the name “Harvard” to anything with regard to his higher education.

People on the right lying about their education. Is anyone surprised?

People on the left plagiarizing their papers. People on the left completely transforming education for our kids to include more sexualized books and less of, you know, the basics-reading (let the Drag Queen/registered sex offender do that), writing (some kids don’t even know how to use pronouns) and (racist) arithmetic. Meh. Who needs test scores, anyway? Who needs kids who (snort) read good? Not Harvard!

Strauss drones on to drive his point home:

In explaining that a Harvard Extension School degree is different than a normal master’s degree from Harvard, Kevin Carey, a policy analyst at New America who specializes in education, pointed to the HES description on its website that ‘Harvard Extension School courses are accepted toward degrees at most colleges and universities.’ However, he continued, ‘Do you know who doesn’t accept HES credits? Harvard College, i.e., the undergraduate institution that everyone in the world thinks of when you say ‘Harvard.'”-Daniel Strauss

The Snooty-McSnoots who “specialize in education” say that Harvard Extension School is nothing but a “certificate program”. Ergo, Mr. Rufo has no right, according to these elitist bottomtooths, to say anything about the sad and dismal direction our educational system is going. Man, if he doesn’t have that right, should blue-collar parents have the right to sound off at school board meetings? Perhaps not. Can’t have a plumber or an electrician telling his son that a biological male claiming to have a vagina and be “female” is not scientifically possible, despite what his fifth grade teacher says.

He’s not (AHEM) educated enough. And, apparently, neither is Christopher Rufo.

But, amidst of this smoke and mirrors show, the question remains: did “diversity hire”, Claudine Gay plagiarize? Or is the petty left going to talk semantics about “Real Hahhh-vaddd” and “Knock-off Hahhh-vadd”?

If we’re lucky, maybe Harvard will suicide itself.

Veritas.
