Poison Ivy

Walking on her way to class she developed poison ivy Chants of ‘Kill the Jews’ – crude and crass have now replaced in 'Crimson’s yahd’ * ~ ‘Ya pahk ya cah at Hahvahd?’ ________________________________ *Havard's nickname is 'The Crimson.' Also, Harvard is right next to Boston, where they don't pronounce their 'r's,' and many 'a's' sound like the 'a' in 'father.'

Such Racism and reaction is deplorable. It stained Harvard's legacy. Acts like these should bring immediate expulsion from the school and even it be considered a hate crime against Humanity. How much more do our Jewish brothers and sisters must endure in their lifetime. Acts of cruelty and Protest against any Race should not be tolerated ever. It is like the Racist people in the 1960's led by George Wallace. The south did to our black brothers and sisters protesting of them from going to their college of their choice in the South. Nothing has changed. Humanities dark side has risen again.

You are correct, Michael. And the liberals are applying a doble standard here: While they pushed hard against the segregation of the George Wallaces, Strom Thurmonds and other Dixiecrats, they often support Hamas and Palestinian-backed violent protests and other acts of overt antisemitism. ~ gw

Humanities evil tentacles flare up even until this day. History repeats itself over and over. When will we learn to love and respect one another?
