Don't recall the federal government doing that at all

    There's a big difference between private citizens saying things and the federal government punishing speech. Of course, you already know this, you're doing a false equivalency as a transphobic dogwhistle (or whichever bigoted opinion you're upset about having consequences for), which is why you were flagged

      > There's a big difference between private citizens saying things and the federal government punishing speech Nobody said there wasn't a difference. Why do you keep making arguments that nobody is saying?? These things do not exist in a vacuum. The federal response is to limit federal funds. Not receiving billions in taxpayer money is not a punishment when you fail to uphold the basic principles for which that money was awarded. > as a transphobic dogwhistle (or whichever bigoted opinion you're upset about having consequences for), There it is! Took you two comments. Thought terminating cliches are exactly why Harvard needs to lose these funds. It's wild how easy it is for you to absolutely lose your mind. This lack of maturity has no place in education or tech.
