Even those who aren’t surprised by the simple fact of Donald Trump’s assault on America’s universities must be shocked by the full frontal magnitude of it all, belated attempts to walk back parts of it, notwithstanding. (Harvard is putting up a courageous, clever, and effective defense.)
I’ve been fighting for the liberation of knowledge from these people for twenty years.

People might know this if their education didn’t trick them to think otherwise.
But if a world can’t rally around the one positive segment of society and let it be ruined by the worst, what can we expect?
