Harvard University students are calling for their school’s endowment to be divested from the prison industry and the money put toward communities that have historically been disproportionately impacted by policing and incarceration.

What I would do is tell those people and communities to stop breaking the fucking law and then they wouldn’t have to worry about policing. It’s call personally responsible. Look it up.

Wait until they learn about the caged babies! Maybe something will get done by one of them calling up Jared and rescinding his invitation to the next ball. Then we can live as one like Lennon described in Imagine in between beating Yoko.

We’ve reached peak 2019. Even privileged kids are like wtf.

Divestment from the prison industry is fine, but the funds ought to be re-invested elsewhere to grow the endowment and not used as charity donations. Impacted communities should turn to the govt for help.

Want to really protest? Stop giving Harvard your parents hard earned money and transfer to a school that doesn’t invest in prisons. You will then be able to dedicate more time to your studies.

There is nothing wrong with that

Is there no end to the shitty morally bankrupt investments that Harvard has made?

When you write it out like that it sounds like a reasonable plan.

NO! HillaryClinton and Bill worked long and hard to set up the FOR-profit private prison system. It would be very unfair to ask people...or Elite Academia...to stop making a profit on locked-up, “Super Predators,” you know...the black men that Hillary said to “bring to heel?”

Cool. Raise everyone’s tuition to cover the difference!

I would think divesting from Epstein is a more important thing to address? But sure, for profit prison is essentially modern day slavery, so that can go too.

Worker university

We need that money to fight racist white supremacist shlthead cops targeting and gunning down unarmed black kids!

Perhaps they should stop supporting pedophiles too.

just like Harvard... very confusing need a MBA to understand

So they want to support high crime areas? Glad I didn't go to Harvard. I don't think I could handle idiots like that.

lol Students don't realize they are just props they use to grow the endowment.

These students would do better to get back to their books and leave the investing to people who actually know what they are doing.

I don’t understand by the term community? Are you stating that there is communal segregation and that certain communities get targeted by the jurisdiction?

In jordan some teachers were arrested in the recent protests against the government headed by a harvard graduate refusing to give them a raise

Wait til they learn of the Epstein money.

How come Harvard invested in them in the first place? Yale wouldn’t a’done that

When did college kids become so damn stupid?

I don’t think the smarties over at Harvard understand what an endowment is or how it works.

Wtf? Harvard’s endowment is invested in private prisons? Are you f**king kidding me Harvard ? That’s absolutely disgusting. How could you possibly be teaching students about the extreme abuses of our criminal justice system while funding it. This is sickening.

But, why if I may ask? the magnitude of racial bigotry in USA is way too much out of hand

What did they do to end up in jail mr or ms Harvard?

Here is how it works. You go to jail if you commit a crime. There isn’t a quota system. One race is 13% of the population and commits nearly 50% of the murders. It would stand to reason then there would be a significant number in jail for other reasons. It’s all socioeconomic.

Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.

So the crime rates? Are those equal then or is this take complete bs or?

DanRiehl We know Blacks commit more crimes per capita than whites because their victims tell us so. Their victims are almost all Black which is why white leftists don't care if Black criminals are released; they'll only prey on Blacks. It's racist that leftists care so little about Blacks

Well. There are 12 Ivy League colleges and 1,821 prisons in the country. There also are far more whites in prison than Ivy League schools. But racist “one student” won’t report that.

most belong in jail, just have to find the few that dont

The typical, morally bankrupt, pro-crime, anti-police mentality of shrieking Social Justice Warriors. Left-wing fruitcakes never met a criminal they didn't love.

As they get their story carried by national news media.

😂🤣😂🤣

I wonder if they ever stopped to wonder if policing and incarceration simply gravitate towards wherever the crime is being committed?

Can these idiots not realize they are more privileged than 99.5% of the rest of us? Please move to another country and figure out how good you have it.

I wonder if those privelaged brats understand how small a portion of the endowment that is?

the definition of SocialJusticeWarriors

Turn all prisoners loose at Harvard
