The administration’s letter to Harvard (which they later claimed to have sent in error) made it clear that their intent is to root out what they perceive as liberal ideological bias at Harvard - nothing really to do with Israel, that was just an excuse. Whether there is a liberal bias is something I will leave others to debate (and if there is, whether that provides grounds for federal action, given the freedoms afforded by the first amendmemt), but I think the Administration’s actions had more to do with throwing red meat to the base than it did with an factual inquiry

You are right that Trump is using the protests to further his agenda! And some are scolding him for doing that.

They want him to only focus on the anti Israel protests instead of also pursuing anti woke policies.

And he made clear that both anti Israel protests (aka antisemitism) and liberal leanings are affecting the university’s status.

Are you saying being anti an apartheid theocracy is anti-semetic? Or are you just saying Trump is making that claim?

Clarity is key in such things...
