It’s not a good sign that Boomers are out there leading the protests.
Harvard isn’t looking out for any of us (unless we are a donor or parent paying full freight tuition). Those who should be leading us aren’t. Mostly silent and absent. I call them out, not some silly word choice by an ivy tower elite.
And when will we call out the Ivys that systematically practiced overt antisemitism in their admissions practices in the 20th century and before? That was actual antisemitism, not just a bunch of pro Palestine protestors making other students feel “uncomfortable “.
Marsha- agreed it is very patronizing. He’s no spring chicken either!!
It’s all us older folks who are out there doing the heavy lifting out in the community. I would say 3/4 of the enormous Philly protest 2 weeks ago were Boomers. And it’s not at all clear that we can’t make a difference without the big institutions standing up (though I’m happy if they do).
