Hillary Clinton to receive Radcliffe award medal at Harvard

While most Americans have had their fill of liberal elitists praising other liberal elitists from the 90th annual Academy Awards this weekend, those who have a lingering appetite for such hubris should turn to Harvard University on May 25. On this day, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will receive the prestigious Radcliffe Medal from the ultra-liberal Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, celebrating her lifetime of achievement as a “champion for human rights.”

Clinton will receive her award on Radcliffe Day, described by The Harvard Gazette as an “annual gathering to celebrate the institute’s commitment to excellence and inquiry.” The former Obama appointee is being honored for her “transformative impact” on society.

And the winner is …
Radcliffe Dean Lizabeth Cohen issued a stream of flattering adjectives towards Clinton in response to the Institute’s announcement. She called the twice-failed presidential nominee “champion for human rights,” a “skilled legislator,” and “an advocate of American leadership to create a world in which states live up to their responsibilities.”

Of course, America hardly lived up to its global responsibilities while Clinton served as secretary of State. Under her stewardship, Libya was bombed into submission and left in ruins, Iraq was abandoned at a crucial moment, and Syria was neglected enough to give rise to an Islamic terrorist empire.

Clinton’s record on protecting human rights certainly isn’t worth celebrating, either. During her first trip abroad as secretary of State, Clinton intentionally deemphasized China’s atrocious record of human rights abuses, prompting the Boston Globe to write:

[Clinton] gave the impression that the Obama administration is preparing to downgrade human rights and freedom of expression in American foreign policy.

Clinton made another kind of gaffe when she said pressing China on human rights ‘can’t interfere with the global economic crisis, the global climate change crisis, and the security crisis.’

Feminist U
However, Clinton satisfies requirements that are far more important to Harvard than the technical nuances of her actual human rights record. Most importantly, Clinton was born with twin copies of the influential “X” chromosome, making her a candidate for the Radcliffe Award from birth.

Being a woman is not sufficient to win, though. She would also have to stand out as a progressive icon if she wanted to take home the coveted Radcliffe.

Fortunately for Clinton, she passes the liberal smell test with flying colors. According to an analysis of roll call votes by Voteview, Clinton was more liberal than other senators 85 percent of the time — a record not even surpassed by the socialist-leaning Barack Obama’s during his time in the Senate.

Ontheissues.org, a not-for-profit organization whose bipartisan mission is to provide information to voters, concluded that “Hillary Clinton is a Hard-Core Liberal.”

The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study was certainly impressed by Clinton’s record as a feminist. A legacy from the age of segregated classrooms, Radcliffe College was a means for women to attain a Harvard education until 1999 when it formally merged with the Ivy League school.

Liberals loving liberals
Much of Radcliffe’s feminist student body deplored this integration, even finding the radically leftist Harvard campus too moderately mainstream for their sensibilities. During the merger, Sophia Chang, co-chair of a student group devoted to lesbians, bisexuals, and “questioning women,” recalled:

I came to realize that Harvard was also a white, male institution like any other. In fact, this is the belly of the beast. If there’s any place to be this is it. If you’re fighting the beast, stay in the belly, find out where it goes.

Clinton will fit in well with these militantly vindictive Radcliffe alumni. After her latest disastrous presidential campaign, she insisted that “millions of white people” were to blame, and she called her opponent’s inauguration speech “a cry from the white nationalist gut.”

She fails to stand out in ideology or political persuasion from previous Radcliffe Award winners. This includes a cast of liberal policymakers, including U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

Clinton’s nomination from an Ivy League institution where 90 percent of faculty donations went to the Obama campaign in 2012 is hardly surprising. When two-thirds of college professors identify themselves as liberal in comparison to just 10 percent as conservatives, is it any wonder that a remarkably inefficient civic leader like Clinton would be glorified by academics?
