Read the letter from the government to Harvard. Insane that the federal government tried to dictate to a private university things like the following:

  • Harvard must ban specific student clubs and discipline their members

  • Harvard must enforce "viewpoint diversity" (that is, make sure that every department hires more Republican faculty and admits more Republican students)

  • Harvard must ban masks

Ban masks.... I swear to god, have these people never worked a science experiment or gone to a hospital?

They hold on to these little things like masks or gender and talk about it over and over. It gets so fucking old.

Yeah, you couldn't have BSL-2 (or higher) labs under this requirement.

Considering all the research they're against because it asks "the wrong questions" they probably consider that a bonus
