America Gets a Harvard Education

The Harvard Corporation lined up behind university president Claudine Gay on Tuesday after calls to fire her for her handling of antisemitism on campus and evidence of plagiarism in her academic work. The decision confirms the school’s pattern of putting identity politics above liberal values and its selective support for free speech on campus.In a public letter to the university community, the Harvard fellows who chose President Gay and supervise the university write that they have “confidence” that she is the “right leader to help our community heal and to address the very serious societal issues we are facing.”Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Hundreds of districts across the country will hold local school board elections Nov. 7, ahead of a 2024 presidential campaign that is expected to see education play a bigger role than in the past.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Vatican Synod Report Plays Down LGBTQ Issues, Defying Progressive Hopes

ROME—A Vatican gathering called to debate potentially far-reaching changes in the Catholic Church adjourned on Saturday with a final report that barely referred to one of its most controversial questions: the place of LGBTQ people in the church.That omission, following recent signs of liberalization on the matter from Pope Francis, was likely to disappoint Catholic advocates for LGBTQ rights. Proponents of women’s ordination received slightly more encouragement, as the Vatican meeting called for further research into the possibility of women deacons.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
