"As Republicans embraced economic individualism and religion, they also embraced anti-intellectualism. Their version was not unlike that of the early colonists, in which rural Americans, especially those in the West, claimed their evangelical religion made them more worthy than the urban Americans in the East who far outnumbered them."

#Harvard’s response:
“The government’s action is unlawful. We are fully committed to maintaining Harvard’s ability to host international students & scholars, who hail from more than 140 countries & enrich the University – & this nation – immeasurably.”

Here is the letter dog killer #KristiNoem sent to #Harvard, [she of course posted it on X].
It does not allege ANY violation of the Student and Exchange Visitor Program #SEVP. Not one. She cites no #law violated, no regulation broken, no policy ignored.
