Going back to Harvard University to explore the curious case of students vs Harvard Law. After winning the fight to remove the crest of Isaac Royall Jr.–a notorious slave owner whose money founded the law school–social justice warriors referred to this victory as being too small to exact the change they demanded. Even after protests saw the fall of the Royall crest, students continued protesting what they deemed “problematic” curriculum taught by Harvard Law.
Citing racism as being a huge problem at Harvard Law, one student said there’s a lack of “serious study into the implications of racism, white supremacy, and imperialism.” Another issue protesting students had with Harvard Law was the lack of a diversity and inclusion office. They were met with an explanation that while the school supports diversity, these demands are only made by a small number of them.
