What is Harvard thinking?
Harvard University is once again under fire for pushing a far-left agenda — and this time, they’ve given a high-profile platform to one of President Trump’s most outspoken critics. The Ivy League giant is rolling out a fall 2025 seminar that praises twice-failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams as a “political mastermind.”
In a move that has conservatives shaking their heads, Harvard even misspelled her name as “Stacy” in the official course description. The class, titled “Race, Gender, and the Law Through the Archive,” claims to explore how race and gender have shaped American politics and law — with Abrams, Michelle Obama, and Vice President Kamala Harris hailed as “leading Black women of 21st-century politics.”
A Radical Voice at the Helm
The course will be taught by professor and activist Myisha Eatmon, who once posted on X that “white privilege is a drug.” That post has since been hidden after her account went private. Eatmon’s curriculum dives into the idea that “law is subjective” and elevates figures from the civil rights era through a progressive lens — ignoring the fact that many Americans believe in the rule of law as fixed, not fluid.
Abrams’ History of Election Denial
Abrams lost both the 2018 and 2022 governor’s races to Republican Brian Kemp. After her first defeat, she repeatedly claimed the election was “stolen” and “rigged” — rhetoric she later downplayed after being criticized as an election denier. Despite never holding federal office, Harvard is holding her up as a political icon.
Why This Matters
To many, this is yet another example of elite universities promoting progressive political figures while sidelining conservative voices. By elevating Abrams — a known Trump adversary — Harvard sends a clear message about whose viewpoints they value, and whose they reject.
Critics say the move is a perfect snapshot of what’s wrong with higher education today: taxpayer-funded prestige institutions pushing partisan narratives under the banner of “education,” while ignoring or dismissing half the country’s beliefs.
