Harvard’s 146-year-old student newspaper has provided the rest of the country with a blueprint for resisting illiberal campus mobs.
The Harvard Crimson responded forcefully this week to angry student groups enraged by the fact its reporters asked for comment from Immigration and Customs Enforcement while writing an article about protests of the federal agency. Writers Elizabeth Guo and Amanda Su reported on Sept. 13 for an article titled “Harvard Affiliates Rally for Abolish ICE Movement” that representatives for the agency “did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday night.”
This prompted a handful of student organizations, including Act on a Dream, to accuse the Harvard Crimson of fraternizing with the enemy. Act on a Dream even launched an online petition, signed by more than 650 students, demanding the student newspaper promise it would never contact ICE again and apologize for the “harm it has inflicted” on the student body.
“We are extremely disappointed in the cultural insensitivity displayed by The Crimson’s policy to reach out to ICE, a government agency with a long history of surveilling and retaliating against those who speak out against them,” reads the petition. “In this political climate, a request for comment is virtually the same as tipping them off, regardless of how they are contacted.”
This is the sort of illiberal censoriousness we have come to expect from the campus Left. But it was met with the unexpected: actual courage and moral clarity.
Rut roh now they've done it now .....its always good to tell progressive nazis to shove it ...
