Installation address by Lawrence S. Bacow
October 5, 2018

CAMBRIDGE, MASS.

I guess it’s appropriate that I begin with — good afternoon!

People learn a lot at Harvard!

This truly is an astonishing sight, seeing so many of you here in Harvard Yard today.

It’s a great reminder that nobody gets anywhere of consequence in this world on his or her own — and that includes becoming president of Harvard.

I have been blessed to have people ready to help me at every step of the way, beginning with my parents, who worked hard every day to ensure that I had boundless opportunities. I would not be here today without the love of my life, Adele, who has made my life so meaningful and rich, and also without my children, from whom I have learned and continue to learn so much.

I thank all of my family and my dear friends, who are also family, for traveling from far and wide to be here.

I have been blessed, also, by inspiring teachers and mentors, three of whom I am honored to have with me today — my Harvard dissertation advisors, Mark Moore, Richard Zeckhauser, and Richard Light — to mark it. Thank you for having taught me so well.

I would also like to thank my predecessors Drew Faust, Larry Summers, Neil Rudenstine, and Derek Bok for their thoughtful stewardship and leadership of Harvard over the last half century.

I would also like to thank each of them for their excellent advice as I take the helm.

A special thanks also to my colleagues from Tufts and from MIT, who taught me how to be a leader in higher education. I guarantee you that there are many people assembled here who pray that you taught me very well!

Of course, the Harvard presidency seems to involve some unique hazards — and over its long history, a nearly infinite list of potential missteps.

President Langdon, for example, was forced to resign after the students found that his sermons dragged on too long — a great incentive for me to be brief today.

President Mather, on the other hand, outraged the entire Harvard community by refusing to move here from Boston, arguing that the air in Cambridge did not agree with him. Fortunately, I actually like the atmosphere here a lot!

Even President Eliot, arguably Harvard’s most successful president, provoked an uproar now and then. He wanted to abolish hockey, basketball, and football, on the grounds that they required teamwork, and, in his mind, Harvard had absolutely no use for that. He also tried over and over again to acquire MIT.

Rafael, you can relax. I’ll do my best to avoid all such misadventures.

I am deeply honored to assume the leadership of this wonderful institution, and proud that as the nation’s oldest university, Harvard has helped to shape the American system of higher education, which is magnificent in its independence, sweep, and diversity.

I am also honored that so many other great institutions are represented here today, and I thank all of my colleagues from all over the country and all over the world for your good wishes — and, frankly, your support, because this is not an easy moment to assume the leadership of any college or university.

These are challenging times for higher education in America.

For the first time in my lifetime, people are actually questioning the value of sending a child to college.

For the first time in my lifetime, people are asking whether or not colleges and universities are worthy of public support.

For the first time in my lifetime, people are expressing doubts about whether colleges and universities are even good for the nation.

These questions force us to ask: What does higher education really contribute to the national life?

Unfortunately, more people than we would like to admit believe that universities are not nearly as open to ideas from across the political spectrum as we should be; that we are becoming unaffordable and inaccessible, out of touch with the rest of America; and that we care more about making our institutions great, than about making the world better.

While there may be — may be — a kernel of truth here, if I believed that these criticisms fundamentally represented who we are, I would not be standing before you today. All of our institutions are striving to make wise choices amidst swirling economic, social, and political currents that often make wisdom difficult to perceive.

We need, together, to reaffirm that higher education is a public good worthy of support — and beyond that, a pillar of our democracy that, if dislodged, will change the United States into something fundamentally bleaker and smaller.

It’s worth remembering that most of the nation’s founders were first-generation college students. They not only shaped our form of government, they built new universities. Having had their own minds opened and improved by learning, they were certain that government by and for the people requires an educated citizenry.

Even at some of the most difficult moments in our national history, our leaders understood that they could strengthen the nation by educating more of our society. Abraham Lincoln signed the Morrill Act during the dark days of the Civil War, creating land-grant universities to spread useful knowledge across this immense raw continent.

President Franklin Roosevelt signed the G.I. Bill just two weeks after D-Day, making a college education one of the prime rewards for national service, and sending vast numbers of less-privileged Americans to college for the first time.

Every such expansion of higher education, every move toward openness to those previously excluded, has brought the United States closer to the ideal of equality and opportunity for all.

So higher education has not only supported our democracy, but in some sense it has created it — and we are nowhere near done.

My friend Drew Faust has often wished for Harvard that it be as good as it is great. To me, the goodness of Harvard — and of all of our universities — lies in the three essential values we represent: truth, or, as we say here, veritas; excellence; and opportunity.

Today, we have to embody and defend truth, excellence, and opportunity more than ever. We do this not to stave off our critics, but because these are the values that made our nation great.

As we consider truth, clearly, we’ve come a long way from the days when our colleague United States Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan said, “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.”

Now that technology has disintermediated the editorial function, allowing anybody to publish his or her own view of events, our fragmented media struggle to make the distinction between opinion and facts. The result, often, is a feverish diffusion of rumor, fantasy, and emotion unconstrained by reason or reality.

And it is precisely because we find ourselves in this post-factual world that strong colleges and universities are essential.

Given the necessity today of thinking critically and differentiating the signal from the noise, a broad liberal arts education has never been more important. It is our responsibility to educate students to be discerning consumers of news and arguments, and to become sources of truth and wisdom themselves.

Of course, facts and truth are not the same. Facts are incontrovertible, or at least they should be, whereas truth has to be discovered, revealed through argument and experiment, tested on the anvil of opposing explanations and ideas. This is precisely the function of a great university, where scholars debate and marshal evidence in support of their theories, as they strive to understand and explain our world.

This search for truth has always required courage, both in the sciences, where those who seek to shift paradigms have often initially met with ridicule, banishment, and worse, and in the social sciences, arts, and humanities, where scholars have often had to defend their ideas from political attacks on all sides.

There are both reassuring truths and unsettling truths, and great universities must embrace them both. Throughout human history, the people who have done the most to change the world have been the ones who overturned conventional wisdom, so we should not be afraid to welcome into our communities those who challenge our thinking.

In other words, our search for truth must be inextricably bound up with a commitment to freedom of speech and expression.

At Harvard, our alumni span the political and philosophical spectrum, including those who have served in the White House, in Congress, on the Supreme Court, and in comparable positions throughout the world. Here in Harvard Yard, we must embrace diversity in every possible dimension, because as Governor Baker said so eloquently, we learn from our differences — and that includes ideological diversity.

As faculty, it is up to us to challenge our students by offering them a steady diet of new ideas to expand their own thinking — and by helping them to appreciate that they can gain much from listening to others, especially those with whom they disagree. We need to teach them to be quick to understand, and slow to judge.

Let me say that again: We need to teach our students to be quick to understand, and slow to judge. And as faculty, we owe this duty to each other, as well.

To paraphrase the great theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, it is always wise to look for the truth in our opponents’ error, and the error in our own truth.

At Harvard, we must strive to model the behavior we would hope to see elsewhere. For if we can’t talk about the issues that divide us here, on this extraordinarily beautiful campus, where everyone is smart and engaged, where the freedom to speak one’s mind is one of our defining precepts, where we are blessed with abundant resources and no one goes to sleep in fear for his or her life — if we can’t do that here, there is no hope for the rest of the world.

At the same time, we should not apologize for standing for excellence in everything we do.

Harvard is synonymous with excellence.

We scour the world for students and faculty prepared to demonstrate brilliance in our classrooms, our laboratories, on our playing fields and performance stages, and out in the community striving to make a difference.

Our commitment to excellence should never be interpreted as an embrace of elitism. The excellence we represent is not a birthright. It is not something inherited by those born privileged — or even by those born with great aptitude. It is defined by more than numbers, and it encompasses spark and imagination, grit and determination.

The excellence we stand for is only achieved through tireless pursuit. Scholarship is about charging down dark alleys, accepting disappointment, and setting off again. It is messy and laborious by definition. Much as we love to celebrate the “Eureka!” moments in our society, they are generally preceded by years of early mornings and late nights.

We need to remind the nation of the degree to which America’s greatness depends upon this commitment to excellence — and the fact that supporting excellence at college and university campuses does not run counter to the best interests of those who feel left behind by our society.

Indeed, it is scholars here and elsewhere who have sounded the alarm about increasing income inequality and declining social mobility in the United States, and whose ideas will help us become the just society we hope to be.

The research we pursue in all fields helps to generate new knowledge, new connections, and new insights into the human condition. We work to understand the origins of life, but also the meaning of life. We explore the molecular code that makes us human, and the culture that is equally essential to our humanity.

Long after the technologies of today are obsolete, people will still be reading Shakespeare and Gabriel García Márquez; listening to Mozart, Bob Dylan, and the late, great Aretha Franklin from my hometown of Detroit; and contemplating the great questions that have motivated philosophers and poets for millennia. For it is our art, our literature, our music, and our architecture which are among the most enduring artifacts of human endeavor. As the nation’s oldest institution of higher learning, Harvard has a special responsibility to champion intellectual traditions that have defined educated men and women since the dawn of civilization.

We do more than deliver a body of knowledge to our students — we expand their humanity. By teaching young people to appreciate what is beautiful in art, society, and nature, we help them to discover what makes life truly worth living.

Of course, none of our institutions can afford to be complacent about our excellence. We have competitors around the world, supported by governments that understand that the swiftest route to a thriving economy runs through university laboratories, libraries, and classrooms.

Whether our colleges and universities are public or private, we all rely upon the generosity of the American people, who contribute both to research and financial aid. We are excellent because of them, and must endeavor to deserve their support. So it’s up to us to remember, always, our collective obligation to the public good.

Since Harvard’s founding in 1636, the people educated here have responded patriotically to the call to service. With the exception of the service academies, more Harvard alumni have received the Congressional Medal of Honor than any other school. Harvard people have always vigorously engaged in the great issues of their day, and at this very moment 68 of our alumni are running for Congress, on both sides of the aisle. And our alumni throughout the world are working to strengthen their nations.

We need to ensure that future generations continue to serve the greater good in a variety of ways. It is my hope that every Harvard graduate, in every profession, should be an active, enlightened and engaged citizen. So I am pleased to announce today we will work toward raising the resources so we can guarantee every undergraduate who wants one a public-service internship of some kind — an opportunity to see the world more expansively, and to discover their own powers to repair that world.

Of course, we cannot achieve excellence if we are only drawing talent from a small portion of society, so our colleges and universities also must stand for opportunity.

In the broadest sense, all of us are indeed created equal: Talent is flatly distributed. But sadly, opportunity is not.

Throughout our history, higher education has enabled the most ambitious among us to rise economically and socially. And every step the nation has taken to print more such tickets into the middle class, and beyond, has powered our economic growth and leadership in innovation.

We have to ensure that higher education remains the same economic stepping-stone for those from modest backgrounds that it was for my generation and my parents’ generation. While a college education still helps to level the playing field for those who manage to graduate, the cost of entry, and of staying the course until graduation, has become daunting for many families.

This is why Harvard’s groundbreaking Financial Aid Initiative, started by Larry Summers and expanded by Drew Faust, is so important. We simply say to low- and middle-income families with earnings below a certain level, “You can send your child to Harvard and we will ask you to pay nothing.” Largely because of this, 268 members of this year’s first-year class are the first in their family to attend college.

Clearly, however, Harvard cannot keep the American Dream alive single-handedly.

Our nation’s magnificent public colleges and universities, where four out of five American students are educated, are key. But state appropriations are funding a diminishing share of the cost of that education, so tuition and student debt are rising. This trend is not sustainable.

In failing to adequately support public higher education, we are literally mortgaging our own future. At a time when other countries are investing more in support of higher education, we as a nation cannot afford to invest less.

As higher education leaders, we also need to do what we can do to bend the cost curve. Higher education is one of the few industries where competition tends to drive costs up. It’s time to stop this arms race, and to consider the benefits of greater cooperation.

These can include shared infrastructure for research, joint graduate student and faculty housing, or exchanges that allow us to eliminate some of the redundancies in our curricula and to double down on our specific strengths. I look forward to working with my colleagues at Boston-area institutions to explore how we can collectively do a better job of serving both our students and society.

We also have to explore the opportunities offered by technology to improve productivity and access. I am proud that Harvard, in partnership with our colleagues at MIT, has been a leader in opening up educational opportunities to talented students throughout the world through edX. In turn, they have us offered new insights into the science of learning.

As college and university presidents, we also need to be much franker in framing the choices our institutions make, so as to reveal their true consequences in terms of cost. Traditionally, colleges and universities have been great at doing more with more. But in the future, we may have to do more with less.

At the same time, it’s our responsibility to counter any current myths about the value of higher education and to continue telling children, in every corner of this nation and the world, the simple truth: that if they want to get ahead, education is the vehicle that will bring them there.

College has enabled the American Dream for so many of us — and we must nurture and sustain that dream for generations to come.

My parents came to this country with virtually nothing. My father arrived here as a child, a refugee escaping the pogroms of Eastern Europe. My mother survived Auschwitz as a teenager, lived without bitterness, and always was grateful that America was so good to her.

This is a common story — this is America’s story. With the exception of Native Americans and the descendants of those enslaved or brought here against their will, most of us can trace our origins back to people who, like my parents, came to these shores seeking freedom and opportunity, and a better life for their children. And many continue to make this journey today, despite enormous risks.

It certainly is one measure of a just society how well we treat the least powerful among us. But beyond goodness, we must make the case for common sense: that failing to welcome talented students and scholars from around the world is to undercut America’s intellectual and economic leadership.

In this global economy, financial capital moves at the speed of light, and natural resources also move swiftly. The only truly scarce capital is human and intellectual capital. That is what a nation must aggregate and nurture, if it intends to be prosperous.

Fortunately, many of the best and the brightest from around the world seek to study at America’s great colleges and universities. In engineering, mathematics, and computer sciences, over half the doctorates awarded each year are granted to foreign nationals. Many of these students will return home with their sights raised, and go on to build thriving companies and institutions of higher learning; to fight poverty, disease, and climate change throughout the world; and to lead their own nations toward goodness and greatness.

But a considerable number of these international students will do everything possible to stay right here. Rather than turn them away, we should embrace these extraordinary people. Over a third of our faculty were born someplace else. Over a third of the Nobel Prizes awarded to Americans in chemistry, medicine, and physics since 2000 have gone to men and women who were foreign-born. Over 40 percent of Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children.

America has to continue welcoming those who seek freedom and opportunity, lest we shut the door to the next generation of great entrepreneurs, scholars, public leaders — and, dare I say, university presidents — for it is immigrants that get things done, as Lin-Manuel Miranda said so well in “Hamilton.”

I hope that all of us in higher education remain true to our essential values — to truth, excellence, and opportunity. But I hope, as well, that in remaining true to them, we advance those values in the world at large.

It’s not enough that we represent the very best of society, in terms of intellectual achievement, freedom to express and explore, and openness to extraordinary potential in all who possess it.

We must defend the essential role of higher education in the life of our nation and the broader world.

And we must reach outwards even beyond that.

We have a responsibility — we have a responsibility — to use the immense resources entrusted to us — our assets, ideas, and people — to address difficult problems and painful divisions.

We have a responsibility, as well, to help America remember its own essential goodness: the kindness, decency, and integrity of our founding principles, as well as the kindness, decency, and integrity of those people who have fought throughout our history to ensure that these principles apply equally to all.

It is up to us to leave our country and our world a better place tomorrow than it is today.

That is where true greatness lies.

I am honored to be able to work alongside each and every one of you to reach such greatness.

I am thankful for this opportunity to lead Harvard, which made me better, and which I think makes everyone better—spurring all of us to summit mountains we never imagined we could climb.

Today, I am inspired by the beauty of our mission, our history, and our values, by the power of our ambition, talent, and goodwill, and by the infinite possibilities before us, to use our strengths to help humanity as a whole to ascend.

It is a very great privilege to seize those possibilities with you, and I am delighted to begin.

Thank you.

细读哈佛新任校长就职演讲

老钱

10/07/18

一早起来，看到了《哈佛的新校长致辞》。因为这正在SFFA准备状告哈佛的时刻，我立刻就仔细通读了。我的关注必然是和哈佛在招生中的照顾族裔肤色，分配名额的丑恶行为相关的。见《老钱：我为什么支持状告哈佛？》。

新校长是，Dr.Lawrence S. Bacow，他在10月5日所作的这篇讲话，毫无疑问的，是充满着高瞻远瞩，引经据典，文采飞扬，幽默生动的。哈佛大学的校长嘛。

比如说，下面这些话都极富哲理：

“To paraphrase the great theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, it is always wise to look for the truth in our opponents’ error, and the error in our own truth”。

中文翻译是：“用神学家Reinhold Niebuhr的话来说，在对手的错误中寻找真理，在我们的真理中寻找错误”。

这是多么精彩的警句啊！这是多么崇高的，严于律己，严谨周密的探索精神和方法啊。

“There are both reassuring truths and unsettling truths, and great universities must embrace them both.”

中文翻译是：有的真理令人如释重负，有的真理却让人如坐针毡。伟大的大学必须同时接受两者。

这也是同意精彩的警句啊！这句话本身就包含着虚怀若谷，实事求是的真理和对待真理诚惶诚恐，心悦诚服的高尚态度。

“We need to teach them to be quick to understand, and slow to judge”.

中文翻译是：我们需要教他们迅速地理解，但不急于做出判断。

“迅速地理解，但不急于做出判断”。这一句包含的能力要求和态度准则，是多么的言简义核，而又正确到位和精确无误啊。

可惜，太长了。违背了他自己开头的承诺。不过，他的讲话，再长些，也是极其精彩，字字玑珠，引人入胜的。

但是，我仔细地寻找其中有没有和“按族裔肤色录取”方针相关的内容。这个家伙，确实是很有水平的，讲的滴水不漏，总是中庸正确，面面俱到，深刻睿智。

可是，他上任立刻就面临着十月15日的SFFA状告哈佛，而且是得到了Trump总统的支持。作为校长，他能不清楚吗？肯定清楚，可是他就一词不提。通篇回避。

他提到了移民与哈佛的关系。他说对了他的父母怎么来到这个国家的。

My parents came to this country with virtually nothing. My father arrived here as a child, a refugee escaping the pogroms of Eastern Europe. My mother survived Auschwitz as a teenager, lived without bitterness, and always was grateful that America was so good to her.

我的父母几乎白手起家来到这个国度。我父亲是小时候逃离东欧大屠杀的难民，我的母亲十几岁时在奥斯维辛集中营中幸存下来。他们没有被生活的苦涩压垮，反而总是很感激美国为她提供的福祉。

是的，滴水之恩，当涌泉相报。更不用说，这样的救命之恩了。美国，美国民众对全世界的受迫害的人们，真是慷慨大方；美国为这个地球上的悲哀和痛苦，真是仗义执言，主持公道，直至流血牺牲出手救援，打抱不平，地球人都看在眼里，记在心里。可是，下面的话却是有问题了。

This is a common story —this is America’s story. With the exception of Native Americans and the descendants of those enslaved or brought here against their will, most of us can trace our origins back to people who, like my parents, came to these shores seeking freedom and opportunity, and a better life for their children. And many continue to make this journey today, despite enormous risks.

这是一个平凡的故事- 这是美国的故事。除了美洲原住民和那些被奴役着被带到这里的人之外，我们大多数人都可以追溯到那些像我的父母一样来到东西海岸寻求自由和机会，为自己和下一代更美好生活不懈奋斗的人们。尽管存在巨大的风险，但许多人今天仍然在继续着这一旅程。

注意⚠️这句话，“除了美洲原住民和那些被奴役着被带到这里的人之外”，“美洲原住民”是有明确的含义的。这里的原住民是指的是印第安人。如果只有印第安人和黑奴的话，北美大陆还是愚昧荒蛮落后的史前状况，你们，我们还会冒着“巨大的风险”，前赴后继地漂洋过海地来吗？你们，我们，为什么不去非洲，不去爪哇岛，不去南极？不去当时的西伯利亚，不去当时的蒙古大草原，。。。

他可以这样狡辩；“我说的‘像我的父母’那样的人，也包括了早来的欧洲人啊。”不能这样狡辩的。两百年前来到的，乘坐“五月花号”来到新大陆的欧洲移民，主要是英国清教徒们。他们和两百年后蜂拥而来了的新移民，是截然不同的！两百年前的英国清教徒们，是开创者，前途充满着不知的艰险。他们是毅然决然地离开故土，开天辟地，按照着自己的信仰和信念，创造新世界，创造新生活的勇敢的开拓者。他们追求的独立自由。而我们两百年后的新移民，则是明确地，奔着光明，奔着幸福，奔着先进优越富裕而来的。

这是狡辩！但是，大教授和他弟子们，仍然可以振振有词，“我们新移民同样具有冒险精神和开拓能力”。我还是要说，不对！绝对不一样！两百年前的清教徒，都是理念正确，思想明确的勇敢的的开拓者；两百年后的新移民中，真正的追求理想，有崇高的精神理念的人，就是少数了；多数人只是追求现成的好日子而已。对于这些新移民中的绝大多数人来说，独立自由算什么？又不能当饭吃。更有甚者，就是来吃福利的。再更有甚者，干脆就是来拆庙的。

所以，时代不同了，移民政策应该有相应的改变。这里不多说了。见《老钱：关于移民政策的思考》。否则，就是落后淹没先进，落后征服先进，落后摧毁先进，最后，全世界的希望都毁灭了。

大教授，还会振振有词，。。。好了，好了，我们大家都是心中有数，不就是为了批“白人之上”，为了给Trump总统戴上“反移民”的“种族主义”的大帽子做准备嘛，不就是为了声讨白人的“原罪”，不就是为了Hillary的“no boundary”等等的极左思潮做铺垫嘛。不就是准备把“像我的父母一样来到东西海岸寻求自由和机会”的说辞推延到极左思潮的极端上去嘛。不就是，为庇护非法移民做铺垫嘛。

而且，谁把“那些被奴役着被带到这里”来的？当然是那些“两百年前的清教徒”。这是他们的“原罪”。可是，排外，排他，以强凌弱，不仅仅是他们，这些白人的原罪。这是人类的通病。而且，恰恰是以基督教文化为主体的白人，在提倡自由民主平等，纠正人类历史错误上，做得最好，罪彻底。

我们，学理工的，学技术，学自然科学的人，数理专用词叫做“自洽”，学人文的要说“自圆其说”，“逻辑完整”。大教授，大校长，自己的逻辑，自己的用词都不能自洽了。只说“B被带来了”，而不说，是A，把B带来的。为了说谎，只好顾不上“自洽”了。

他也还提到了言论自由的问题。

At Harvard, we must strive to model the behavior we would hope to see elsewhere. For if we can’t talk about the issues that divide us here, on this extraordinarily beautiful campus, where everyone is smart and engaged, where the freedom to speak one’s mind is one of our defining precepts, where we are blessed with abundant resources and no one goes to sleep in fear for his or her life —if we can’t do that here, there is no hope for the rest of the world.

在哈佛，我们必须努力描绘和想象我们的愿景。在这个校园里，我们拥有无与伦比的丰富资源，每个人都聪明又努力，把言论自由当作人生的准则。在这里，没有人因为恐惧和绝望闭目塞听，如果我们在这都不能谈论分裂着我们的问题，那么在世界其他地方就更加没有希望了”。

对于这段话，最好的解释，就应该是：“不能用‘政治正确’的顾虑和梓栲，而束缚我们的自由”。

可是，现在的言论自由已经在极左派的政治正确的压力下，已经很危险了。这次，大法官卡瓦纳的提名，受到民主党极左派的构陷阻挠，完全被证明了是毫无底线的党派恶作剧。可是，耶鲁大学，居然聚众抗议卡瓦纳。哈佛，也取消了卡瓦纳的讲席教授的资格。哈佛早先就有极左派教授们联名要求开除，坚持讲真话的教授。。。他们只相信终身擅长说谎的Ford的谎言，就可以坚信卡瓦纳上强奸犯。还都是世界上，法律专业的最高学府！什么玩意儿！

他还说了很多。总而言之，该明确说的不说，其余都是含含糊糊，笼笼统统，他基本上是会进一步推动哈佛的极左化。

这篇文章，拖了两天，现在在机场，没有时间了。所以，先写到这里。离开了这片目前还自由的土地，就无法发了。

我为什么支持状告哈佛？

1. 因为哈佛在录取学生时，违反了公平正义的原则。

54年前，1964年，马丁.路德.金博士，在华盛顿的纪念碑前，发表了他的伟大的演说，《我有个梦想》。金博士以其特有的，那种高亢尖利的，重金属乐器般的，刺破青天锷未残的声调，特别说了下面这段话：

“I have a dreammm～～～ that myfour little children will one day live in a nation where they will not bejudged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character/我梦想有一天，我的四个孩子将生活在一个不是以皮肤的颜色，而是以道德能力的优劣作为评判标准的国家里”。

54年来，金博士的梦，梦已成真。

在美国的政治舞台上，有过这么多的黑人身居要职了，老布什时代的最高大法官，至今仍然在任的Clarence Thomas（其实，早在1982年，里根总统就任命了Thomas为公平就业机会委员会/EEOC的主席），布什总统的国务卿CondoleezzaRice（她参政之前是斯坦福大学的教授兼教务长，之后，又回到斯坦福继续重操旧业），三军联席会议的主席Collin Powell将军（实际上的美国最高军事长官）。。。在总统候选人中，也一再出现黑人的总统竟选人，直至选出了第一个黑人总统（还是一个祸国殃民的假货，上海话说，蹩脚货，南京话，大萝卜；希腊典故，Trojan Horse）。。。

无论在演艺界，体育界，教育界，学术界，传媒界，政界，军界，商界，黑人都得到了充分的机会，成功的黑人，处处皆是。天天，时时，出现在电视屏幕上的黑人主持，Oprah，Whoopi。。。已经远远超过了她们的人口比例。特别是是体育界，就基本上是黑人的天下了...

这些都是充分体现了金博士的梦想：美国已经“不是以皮肤的颜色，而是以道德能力的优劣作为评判标准”了。应该说，美国的主流社会，主流意识，说白了吧，就是白人/caucasian，在种族问题上，在纠正自己的错误上，进步得“飞快”！

AA曾经有过历史作用，现在已经完全没有必要了，已经有害了。

可是，他们，极左派们，还嫌不够，还要更多的优惠，照顾。现在是走向极端了，翻过来了。倒是会因为“皮肤的颜色”，成为了特别的通行证。比如，哈佛等顶级藤校，在录取新生时，一个黑人学生，可以靠低四百多分的成绩胜过一个亚裔的学生。即，按族裔分配名额，按肤色录取。最近的例子，一个印裔孩子，想进藤校，想学医无望。灵机一动，利用自己的皮肤黑，就谎称自己是黑人，却成功地达到目的了。德州不是也有过一个白人姑娘起诉学校录取时的歧视吗？歧视翻转了。这就恰恰是违反了，金博士用生命为代价，追求的平等公正的理念。如果他在天有灵的话，如果他还是坚持这样的理念的话，他就会要开始为反对这种反转的歧视而奋斗了。

这些，就是这次，10/15/2018在波士顿起诉哈佛的原因。这个起诉主体是SFFA（Student for FairAdmissions）团队。起诉原因就是因为哈佛大学在招生中的种族歧视。诉讼团的律师是Edward Blum。

而且，金博士又说：“局部的不公正，就是威胁全局的不公正/Injustice anywhere is a threat to justiceeverywhere”。绝对正确！任何对部分不公平，最终都是对全体的不公平，不公正。

哈佛等藤校，在录取学生，对亚裔严重的歧视和不公平。这不仅仅是对亚裔，华裔学生的不公平，也对全体的不公平。

所以，我坚决支持状告哈佛！

所以，Trump总统要废除在大学录取中的种族标准。绝对正确。

2. 身份政治，将要毁掉美国的高科技和实力

高等教育，与初级教育，中级教育不同。高等教育是为一个国家，一个民族，培养未来的领导人才，管理人才，科技人才，医疗人才，金融人才。。。这里不能照顾，不是福利分享！须是自由竞争，必须是择优录取。不能择其次而录取。

我对于SCA5，AB1726，等等，都是深恶痛绝，坚决反对的。这些都是违反客观规律，违反人权，违反正义，违反公正平等的真正的民主法则的。我都写过文章，一一批评鞭笞过。

把各行各业人才培养，把国家未来领导力量的培养，不是择优而取，而是按种族分配，按肤色分配。。。取二流人才，甚至，弃优而择劣，当作福利来分配；这是极其短视不负责任，就是腐败！其结果必然是培养庸才，肯定是造就庸才。民主党，极左派，左派幼稚病们，就是看不清，一脑子混水，算不过这笔账来，就是混账啊！而且，哈佛的录取，完全没有客观标准，只靠虚无缥缈，水分极大，可以人为操作的政策，肯定终将沦为腐败。终将是社会道德的失守和退化。

选择庸才，培养庸才，这样的庸才，必定没有竞争能力。靠庸才自己，是混不好的。这样，还要想方设法，把庸才到处安插。极其出卖美国的欧巴马在任时，已经开始压迫美国的高科技公司，在招聘员工时，要照顾肤色。国会的极左派议员们，组团去硅谷，压迫高科技公司，执行多元化/Diversity。有些高科技公司在招工中，不得不“参沙子”。

硬行安插了庸才，不仅要保证庸才有饭碗，还要保证庸才们能捧上金饭碗。还要体现在管理层次上，领导岗位上。否则，这些极左派还是会发现，庸才会在竞争中被自然淘汰。那就又不能体现“多元化”，按种族分配的理想了。所以，培养庸才，保护庸才，扶植庸才，必然会是一条“产业链”，一路扶植到顶。

这些极左政策的恶果，我们就会在工业制造中，各行各业里，都会看到。当二三流人才当道，忌贤避能，庸才领导人才。排挤打击真正的人才，最后造成人才流失。人才正在流失。。。就会看到，bugs的到处存在，成本的增高，各种人为事故的增加。总而言之，效率下降，创新能力下降，总起来，国际竞争能力的下降，就是国家实力的下降。

由于大量地培养这些第二流，第三流的庸才，迟早会造成恶果。

可是，当我们需要上手术台时，我们愿意看到，“二刀手”为我们执柳叶刀吗？
当我们的国家花巨资，把宇宙飞船发射上天时，我们愿意看到，里面坐着的是“二道毛子”，手忙脚乱，遇事惊慌失措吗？
当IBM，INTEL，NVID，BOEIN这些科技巨头公司。。。当NASA/美国国家航空航天局里面，充满了“二手货”，美国第一，就没有指望了！
当华尔街上，都是“B Students”，“C Students”的时候，美国的金融优势就会丧失。
当美国驻联合国大使，不过是庸才的时候，就不能坚持原则，不能保护美国利益，就斗不过流氓国家。。。
当白宫里坐着的，都是欧巴马，这种冒牌货的时候，美国只能前恭后撅，处处被动挨打，班加西的事件，频频发生，节节败退。。。
当好莱坞，迪士尼。。。都是“二流货色”的时候，美国大片的全球市场和影响力，就会风光不再。
。。。。。。

具体拿医疗行业来讲。由于充斥着二三流人才，庸医昏医遍地，医疗就会事故频繁。。。忌贤避能，是必然发生的。不忌贤避能，庸医昏医，怎么能霸住位置，怎么能混饭吃呢？

真正的良医巨匠，高手就培养不出来。都被庸医压制住了。像Ben Carson（是他在世界上第一次成功地分离了一对脑颅连体婴儿），这样的世界上顶尖的，婴儿，小儿脑颅外科的神医，就没有机会出头了。

由于这些二流，三流人才，庸才滥竽充数，最后，会逐渐形成新的Profiling/成见：有色人士，都是庸才。人们，包括这些受保护的人自己在内，包括极左派，左派幼稚病们自己在内，一看到有色的医生，就会躲避。谁愿意把自己的命交给庸才呢？见到他们就躲。斗不过，还能躲不过吗？

政府能强迫吗？给这些庸医昏医补贴？强行划分病人，不准选择医生和医院？强制保险公司强行政策倾斜？按照极左派的AA理念，完全是能做得出来的。各种各样的荒唐无稽的事情都会发生。极左派，最终就是法西斯。德国法西斯都没有怎么愚蠢！

奥巴马以及他的老婆米歇尔，显然就是靠了这样AA政策，才能进哥伦比亚大学和哈佛大学的。他一直拒绝拿出小心假证，就是毛里有病。米歇尔想在中小学生肥胖问题上，弄点响动，搞点成就。可是，她搞得正在发育长身体的青少年，直喊饥饿，叫苦连天。。。很快，把好事做砸了！蠢货！她根本不会做事，不知道怎么做事。蠢货！一对庸才。

人类社会的事情，就像自然界生态平衡一样的，破坏了自然规律，破坏了经济法则，破坏了正常的社会秩序，迟早是要受到惩罚的。迟早是要遭到天则的惩罚的。迟早是搬起石头砸自己的脚。不择优录取，培养庸才，太愚蠢了！

所以，我坚决支持状告哈佛！
所以，Trump总统要废除在大学录取中的种族标准。绝对正确。

3. 摧毁了人类社会发展的动力

美国之所以是全世界人的梦，就是因为美国有公平公正的价值理念和社会制度，给人们以平等竞争的社会环境。见《老钱：美国的问题（二）/ 关于平等的一些思考》。人人都可以，靠自己的能力和艰苦奋斗，以求一逞。没有了公平公正和自由竞争，美国就失去了活力，失去了吸引力，还有什么优势？就剩下了腐败了。

培养庸才，就是鼓励大家混日子。庸才当道，必然是社会腐败。就些，都是常识。就是正常的人类社会里，正常人的正常思维，正常标准。

4. 最后还是害了非裔和西裔

违反了择优录取，择优培养的原则，培养庸才。最终，是会把这些受到AA庇护有色人种坑了。即如前所述，人们会逐渐形成新的Profiling/成见：有色人士，都是靠AA才能上来的庸才。

就像奥巴马这8年的政策一样。这个混账总统，不停给巴尔的摩输钱，八年输了18billion？巴尔的摩的市政，交通，教育，治安，没有一点好转，只有每况愈下！见《老钱：美国大选，选谁？ (一)不要搞社会主义》。每遇事，他立刻匆忙表态，见《老钱：美国大选，选谁？ (五)不能再选一只“跛鸭”》。哪怕是BLM公开地伏击猎杀了五名白人警察，他还要牵强附会地往种族歧视上拉！见《老钱：奥巴马要对这次种族屠杀负责》。这样能提高有色族裔的地位吗？不靠竞争，靠政策照顾，只能永远处于劣势。奥巴马8年的政策，就是把黑人兄弟置于永远需要特殊优惠的陷阱里。一遇事，就是上街闹事，只能打砸烧抢；循环往复，没有一点长进。见《老钱：为美国忧/种族问题》。

所以，我坚决支持状告哈佛！

所以，Trump总统要废除在大学录取中的种族标准。绝对正确。大学录取，只能是择优录取。
