Harvard may be considered one of the top schools in the world on paper, but when it comes to free speech on campus they rank dead last, according to a top group that tracks the issue closely.

The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), has just released their annual rankings and Harvard scored the worst of all.

The more progressive an organization becomes, the less they seem to value free speech and Harvard is all in on that front.

From the FIRE Newsdesk:

Harvard gets worst score ever in FIRE’s College Free Speech Rankings

Harvard is consistently ranked one of the best universities in the United States. But FIRE frequently finds itself in the odd position of giving this all-star academic school failing grades.

Simply put, Harvard has never performed well in FIRE’s College Free Speech Rankings, finishing below 75% of the schools surveyed in each of the past four years.

In 2020, Harvard ranked 46 out of 55 schools. In 2021, it ranked 130 out of 154 schools. Last year, it ranked 170 out of 203 schools. And this year, Harvard completed its downward spiral in dramatic fashion, coming in dead last with the worst score ever: 0.00 out of a possible 100.00. This earns it the notorious distinction of being the only school ranked this year with an “Abysmal” speech climate.

What’s more, granting Harvard a score of 0.00 is generous. Its actual score is -10.69, more than six standard deviations below the average and more than two standard deviations below the second-to-last school in the rankings, its Ivy League counterpart, the University of Pennsylvania. (Penn obtained an overall score of 11.13.)

Do you think that the folks who run Harvard are embarrassed about this? They should be.

Harvard is #1!!

Really sad & embarrassing for my alma mater. Free speech matters.

You'd think after getting trounced at the Supreme Court last year, Havard would at least pretend to try to care about the First Amendment. https://t.co/UVImsq8jej

Freedom of speech is essential to education. You would think Harvard would know that.

When leaders in border communities began sending busloads of illegal immigrants to blue cities like New York and Chicago, Democrats and the media called it a “stunt.”

They’re not saying that very much now. It turns out that this was a pretty clever move.

No one in these Democrat stongholds is happy about how this has unfolded. Democrat governors and mayors are now dealing with many of the same problems as political leaders at the border.

This puts Joe Biden in an impossible position.

Axios reports:

Blue state migrant crisis sparks political disaster for Biden

Tensions between the Biden administration and local Democrats are coming to a head as shelters around the country overflow and thousands of immigrants arrive in major cities.

Why it matters: President Biden is stuck between growing calls to help the Democratic-controlled cities, the politics of the vulnerable issue and what the administration views as legal handcuffs prohibiting much action.

In cities like New York, Boston and Chicago, a humanitarian crisis for people hoping for new lives in the U.S. has become desperate. Business leaders and lawmakers at various levels of government are demanding the administration do more to help accommodate migrants — and are frustrated by what they say is Biden’s lack of response. It’s unclear why there hasn’t been stronger action by the Biden administration, Senator Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) tells Axios. “I wrote to him in May so it’s been like four months, but I hope to find out.”

Simply put, Biden has painted himself into a corner. He can’t even admit that there’s a problem, since his ridiculous press secretary keeps insisting that the border is secure.

Additionally, the Democrat leaders who are complaining can’t call out Biden because that would be admitting that he is a total failure on this issue.

The bottom line is that voters in these blue communities are angry and they know who is to blame.
