The clear unclear

Education secretary says she spoke to Columbia, Harvard presidents about ‘abiding by the law’

“And I made it very clear. I said, these are not First Amendment infractions. This is civil rights.”

Look. Maybe these presidents of Ivy League universities know what she's talking about here. Also, maybe she does. She is, after all, the former CEO of some professional wrestling league or other. But that's too many maybes for me.

The whole kerfuffle is about federal funding of research projects at various universities around the country (not all of them are Ivy — some are just plain crabgrass); the universities are suing the government and the government is suing them back, and it's just another day in America.
