The problem with elite universities goes so much deeper than denying Jewish and white students safetyism. The Ivies represent the elite's belief that they should have absolute rule over the masses, who they have just endless contempt for. And that's how Trump was banned in CO:

@jawillickWhat predicts Colorado Supreme Court justices' vote on Trump disqualification? Not party--all are Democratic appointees--but law school. All Ivy League grads voted to disqualify. All Denver Law grads voted not to disqualify.
That last tweet is linked below the jump so you can see the supporting screencaps.

Elite universities aren't institutions of learning but sites for reproducing status, elite belonging. These people truly believe they deserve to rule over average folks. Hence the Orwellian "We must protect the people from voting for their chosen candidate--to defend democracy!"
How can people say with a straight face they are defending democracy by barring the most popular candidate? The class divide in the US which apportioned over 50% of GDP to the credentialed elite convinced them they deserve to hoard not just the American Dream but the franchise.
We need less people trying to save the Ivy League and more people trying to save America.
She then links this observation she made last night:
I'm sorry but the people trying to save Harvard are part of the problem. Harvard isn't primarily an institution of learning. It's an institution of status conferring in which people who hate America gatekeep the American Dream by granting each other little honors and credentials
It's very hard to graduate from these institutions and still believe your fellow citizens have a right to disagree with you and--horror of all horrors!--a right to take the country in a direction you disapprove of if there are more of them than you, which by definition there are.
This is why America's liberal journalists are so gung ho for censorship and getting Trump off the ballot and other anti-American measures: Many went to elite universities, where they became convinced that their numbers were in inverse proportion to their right to rule the masses
There are only two options for people with views you don't like: convince them you're right with better ideas or silence them. To be an American is to choose the first option in nearly every case. Yet the vast majority of people in power went to schools that endorse the second.
Remember when ordinary Americans whose communities and wages were decimated by globalization and mass migration voted for the first guy to say NAFTA was a mistake and call for securing the border, and the entire liberal political caste said in unison, "IT WAS PUTIN!"
That was choosing the second option, which looks like it's about politics but is actually about class. They weren't silencing conservatives. They were silencing the working class who they have contempt for which curdles into absolute rage on the rare occasions that the masses win.
Not directly related, but last night, she also expressed an idea I think really has to be emphasized: the revolt against the Ivies has to be more about "Safetyism for Jews, too."
The lesson of this moment simply cannot be that Jewish Rhodes scholars need more codelling and protection from screaming 18 year olds. It absolutely has to be that we have broken the contract with the working class by buying into the corrupt mythology of Harvard et al
Below, DeSantis mulls the possibility of taking Biden off the ballot, given his statement that we should take people's guns first, and then work out the "due process later." And because he let in 8 million illegals contrary to the law, and because he took bribes through Hunter Biden.
Trigger warning for some: Yes, he plugs his own candidacy here. I realize that some people react in outrage that Ron DeSantis dare compare himself favorably to His Blessed Majesty. How dare DeSantis repay Trump's repeated insinuations that he is gay, that he is an adulterer, that he is a groomer, that he shut down his state against Trump's wishes -- not to mention Trump's paid online minions calling his wife a Lady Macbeth and a "c*nt" -- with such conscienceless disloyalty.
If that is likely to set you off, don't watch the clip.
