[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is an implicit assumption in Harvard's decision that is very troublesome: A Racist student does not belong at Harvard.  Let's say every school adopted this posture. Where is such a student supposed to get educated and become more enlightened?

How about a woman who thinks all men are pigs. Does she not have a right to an education anymore because schools are supposed to reject her?

Can a hospital refuse to treat a racist? Can cops refuse to protect them? Can firefighters refuse to put out fires in a racist house?

All those who support Harvard's decision need to explain why other schools shouldn't follow Harvard's example and if every school does what happens to a students right to an education of they hold aboherrent views.

So nowadays there is a movement to allow convicted criminals to attend college, but s racist cannot? That's beyond stupid.

Kind of a strawman.  Not every school has adopted this policy for every kid.  THIS school made THIS decision for THIS kid based on THESE SPECIFIC actions.[/quote]
