The demands are simple and not confusing at all.

- Stop promoting Democrats' agendas as the ultimate truth; stop bullying people for non-Democratic views - Allow Republicans' agendas to be equally represented

Is it really so difficult to understand?

Out of many bad things Trump has done, this isn't really bad for anyone except core Democrats voters.

The US academia has become hostile to anyone except one particular culture. This should stop.

Conservatives should start their own universities, if they aren't happy with the existing ones. The federal government has no business enforcing conformity to certain ideological demands in private institutions. It's right there in the very first amendment.

If the university was founded by the government, it should represent Americans. All of them. Half of Americans are conservative. Approx. half of academia should be conservative.

Harvard is older than both parties. There is no good reason why it should cater to only one half of Americans.

Conservatives have started their own Universities. No one likes going to those schools, and they end up bankrupt, with students who are functionally uneducated.

They did. Remember Trump University? It got shut down for fraud.
