Harvard conservative student magazine says it will continue publishing despite suspension

The editor of a conservative magazine run by Harvard University students reportedly announced that the outlet would continue publishing despite being suspended by its board of directors for publishing “reprehensible” material.

The Harvard Salient’s Editor-in-Chief Richard Y. Rodgers, in an email to the magazine’s mailing list, said the publication’s suspension was an “unauthorized usurpation of power by a small number of individuals acting outside the bounds of their authority,” The Harvard Crimson reported.

The Salient is independent from Harvard University and is dedicated to publishing conservative thought, according to its website.

The publication’s current board members consist of six Harvard alumni and former Salient presidents and four current professors as ex-officio members.

The publication’s board of directors said in a statement that the magazine published content “wholly inimical to the conservative principles for which the magazine stands,” and said it would suspend the magazine pending an investigation and review.

The board’s statement did not specify the material it deemed “abusive” and “demeaning,” but also said it received complaints about the Salient’s culture.

Naomi Schaefer Riley, director of the Salient’s board, declined to comment Tuesday night, and other members of the board of directors did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“This action was taken without notice to or consent from the duly appointed leadership of the organization and in direct violation of the bylaws governing The Harvard Salient,” the Crimson reported Rodgers wrote. “The Harvard Salientcontinues to operate under its legitimate editorial leadership until further notice.”

Rodgers told the Crimson Tuesday that the Salient’s board members should “consider resigning their posts in order to allow the organization a chance to rebuild in good faith.”

Rodgers also told the Crimson that the board allegedly did not follow the protocol for holding a meeting, making the suspension illegitimate.

Rodgers did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday night.

Excuses can be made for nations that used to be called Third World. (Forgive, me but I am up to date on what the current euphemism is.) The same is not the case for First World nations, who are - supposedly - advanced. While it is convenient to blame politcians for failing to implement laws and programs that are sufficiently robust, I point my finger at the electorate who stubbornly refuse to vote for the few individuals and parties who could make a difference. Unfortunately, those who see the need are outnumbered by the ill-informed, the selfish, the shortsighted and the stupid, the latter being the only category with a decent excuse.

I actually find this very impressive. I figure that Uruguay does not necessarily have a "huge tax base" from which to draw tremendous amounts of funds and yet they STILL chose to prioritize that!

'I hope it burns your [doggone] house down': Man used tiki torch to set fire to pride and other flags, said he was 'fighting for the children,' authorities say​

Thomas Niehaus, 52, faces seven counts of aggravated arson and three counts of arson,Hamilton County Prosecutor Connie Pillich announced earlier this year. Now, the suspect also faces a multi-count federal indictment for his alleged actions.

It was July 30, of this year when Niehaus "targeted the homes of people displaying Pride flags" and other decorations, Pillich said.

The defendant allegedly roamed around Cincinnati in the neighborhoods of Clifton and Northside looking for targets, at one point setting fire to a "yard sign with a picture of a Ukrainian flag."

Home security videos allegedly captured the defendant setting the fires, yelling, and in some cases laughing, saying homophobic slurs and "I hope it burns your [doggone] house down," as well as, "you're dead…kill them all."

Jews are already inherently unique. We don’t need to prove it by naming our kids Cinnamon, Aqua, or Afternoon.​

A clip from the second season of the Netflix series Nobody Wants This recently made the rounds in the parent-verse. In it, interfaith couple Joanne and Noah (Kristen Bell and Adam Brody) attend a baby-naming party and submit to only the most L.A. experience: pretending you didn’t just hear something completely, utterly, and offensively dumb.

Joanne asks the Jewish mom, played by a peppy Leighton Meester, an innocent enough question: “What’s [your daughter’s] name?”

“Afternoon,” replies the mom.

“That’s not a,” starts Joanne, before catching herself mid-snicker. She quickly reverts course: “That is … my favorite time of day.”

I know this routine all too well, the one in which we swallow our tongues, nod, and reflexively exclaim “beautiful!” while simultaneously relishing new fodder for group texts. “You won’t believe the name I just heard” has grown all the more frequent and yet all the more competitive: No longer does Republic, Churchill (for a girl), or even Quinoa raise an eyebrow. I recently overheard Farro (or Pharaoh—unclear!) at the playground, and my group chat pals were unimpressed: “I dunno, I could see a President Farro/Pharaoh.”

It used to be that faddish progeny trends were more prevalent within our gentile neighbors, but not us–we who name after our beloved Bubbes and Zaydes and a long lineage of Jewish leaders, Biblical characters, and that one female Israeli prime minister. I come from a generation in which every other Jewish kid was named Talia, Ilana, or Rachel. Now I see those very same peers opting for Coyote, Striker, and Roxstar.

It’s sometimes hard to square away these peculiar pairings—an unorthodox first name with an often Jewish surname. Gravity Cohen? Aqua Levenstein? Cinnamon Goldberg?

All Jews are given a Hebrew name. Cinnamon Goldberg may be Rivkah or Leah Goldberg.

In a video of a sermon he gave, Yosef claims that the messiah will come in 15 years and that 200 years after that, the world will end.

I thought YEC in Judaism was relatively rare. I mean this one guy doesn't make it common, but if his party is behind that, it represents about a tenth of the knesset.

A United Kingdom-based developer has created a website that purportedly demonstrates how the Bible can be used to support two contradictory views on moral issues.

Created by developer Jon James, the "Bible Both Ways" website, which launched mid-October, gives users the chance to submit a moral or ethical question and then, according to the site's premise, generates two contradictory responses found in the pages of Scripture.

It works like any standard online search engine: type in your prompt, click the "Get Both Sides" button, and find out how, according to the site, "Scripture can be interpreted to support different perspectives on moral questions."

Yet another example of "garbage in, garbage out."

In other words, a text devoid of a context is a pretext for a prooftext, and this is even the case for those who are agnostic.
