Excerpt:
Harvard has long been perceived as America's premier university, the gold standard in the quest for truth in the market-place of ideas, where scholars of high academic integrity pursue cutting-edge research and assist eager students to develop the analytical skills and critical acumen needed for future leadership.
But that perception bears closer scrutiny, especially since Harvard graduates become a disproportionate percentage of our country's leaders. Based on a Slate survey of 1,410 prominent Americans, Harvard grads make up 17% of college and university presidents, 12% of people in the executive branch of our federal government, 11% of our judiciary, 10% of our Senate, and 9% of our business leaders. Harvard grads shape the course of America's future.
Unfortunately, such scrutiny reveals rather unpleasant realities. The present writer's three previous analyses[1] of Harvard's Center for Middle Eastern Studies, its Middle East outreach center and its John F. Kennedy School of Government document a decade-long drift from academic integrity to the institutionalization of anti-Israel counter-factual and often deeply mendacious pro-Muslim indoctrination, characterized by egregious distortions of history and risible lies about Israel and Jews. But perhaps most astonishing is the Harvard Law School's promotion of Sharia law as a system of jurisprudence that can, and according to some faculty should,[2] operate alongside of our secular legal system.
