I think if I were a student at Harvard I would be right there with them. Not something I would call heroism, I can't imagine Harvard is going to bring out the police dogs or fire hoses to quell them, but liberals, you bet. In the finest traditions. Self-sacrifice to achieve human rights for others. Doesn't get much better than that. In Harvard, eh? In Massachusetts? Hmmm. Wonder what liberal icon Teddy Kennedy has been saying about this. Went to his home page. (Which, btw, take FOREVER to load.) senate.gov Didn't see anything there, though I admit I didn't search the entire site. But did look around a bit, and found nothing. If this was the two week mark, it would have started in April. So I searched his April and May press releases. Nada. He issued press releases on the Ergonomics Rally, the 86th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide (surely a hot button issue for Massachussets taxpayers), the Congressman Joe Moakley Hynes Convention Center, Justice for the victims of Pan Am 103, but nothing about justice for the employees of Harvard University, right there in his home town. Senators generally don't respond to email from non-constituents. Is there anybody here from Massachusetts who would email SK and ask him what his position on the Harvard sit-ins, and what he had done to support them?
