Harvard University has been in their sights, with the Trump istration incandescent with rage that they refused to bow to their authoritarian and fascistic demands.
Noem had already slid a noose over Harvard’s neck by threatening to remove its tax-exempt status, now, she’s kicked the stool away with an outright ban on the university enrolling any foreign students at all.
In retaliation for their refusing to hand over confidential student disciplinary records, Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification has been yanked away, meaning the 6,800 students currently studying there (and the countless thousands hoping to) will now have to look elsewhere.
This is some authoritarian shit. Noem said since Harvard won’t give her disciplinary records on students, she’s terminating their foreign exchange student program immediately, and ordered that foreign students must transfer to other schools or have visas revoked. pic.twitter.com/oV3TXVVb1x

In eyebrow-raising comments, she identified Qatar as a driving force for anti-Semitism on campus. If you’ve been keeping notes, this is the same Qatar from which Donald Trump just accepted a $400 million bribe in the form of his new “flying palace” personal jet. This move appears to have happened on the advice of the Israeli consul in New York, who accuse Qatar of masterminding and funding pro-Palestine campus protests.
Then, pulling out an oldie from the classics, she also accused Harvard of being under the influence of communism, saying the university is “fostering violence, antisemitism and coordinating with the Chinese Communist party on its campus”.
Harvard is being held able for collaboration with the C, fostering violence, antisemitism, and pro-terrorist conduct from students on its campus. pic.twitter.com/bdJDTtJr8O

Kristi, I think the ongoing genocide against Palestinians gives students reason enough to protest, they don’t need Qatar or China pulling their strings!
America’s IQ is plummeting
Whatever the reasoning, this is giving the United States a lobotomy. Most countries would kill to have an educational institution like Harvard within their borders. Its international prominence and reputation attract the brightest and most innovative minds from around the world to this country. Many graduates remain here permanently, either creating successful new companies or contributing to cutting-edge research. Now they will go elsewhere, rightfully dismissing American education as stagnant and backwards.
But Noem isn’t stopping there, threatening that “this should be a warning to every other university to get your act together”. Presumably, she wants all higher education to be turning out good little Trumpites tossing their MAGA hats in the air on graduation day and being presented with a copy of The Art of the Deal by the Dean.
Thanks to Noem, America’s collective IQ just took another tumble. But let’s face it, the more stupid people there are, the more Trump voters there’ll be.
