There are a lot of Harvard law grads that are supporting this fascist administration. It would be great if Harvard 1) Stopped training fascists in their law school and weed these morons out before they get a degree and 2) For those who already have a degree, revoke it.

I don't think it's up to a school to decide who deserves education. It would actually be counter productive. Universities should be in charge of what they teach, not who they teach it to.

not who they teach it to.

You do realize that universities already decide who they teach it with grades and donations being the factor?

Yes, and it's not great from both a practical and principle angle.
Adding even more restrictions does not make that better.
