Amid the legal battle between Harvard University and the Donald Trump administration tied to Trump's crackdown on international students, a screenshot is doing the rounds claiming that the university has announced a blacklistig of Trump supporters on the campus. It is an anonymous chat with Harvard's logo that asks students not to be friends with Trump supporters.
"Until Trump back down (if he does), I think we blacklist Trump supporters on campus. Don't let them into clubs, don't be friends with them, certainly don't date them. Bring back real social consequences for politically affiliating with a fascist," the message on the viral screenshot read.
The message comes as Trump and Harvard have locked horns -- the Department of Homeland Security cancelled Harvard's student exchange program, meaning the university can't enroll foreign students unless it acquiesces to the demands of the administration. The university said it won't and went to the court and now there is a temporary stay on the administration's order.
The Trump administration demanded records of international students in the last five years who were involved in any criminal, illegal, or violent activities. It was part of the administration's crackdown on college campuses that has been going on since February, with ICE agents arresting students, revoking their visas etc.
As the screenshot went viral, many thought it to be true but it was a screenshot of SideChat and not an institutional policy or proposal.
"The Harvard logo in the image would appear for any student in the 'Harvard Community' on the app when they post. It isn't an official statement from Harvard; it's just a random user's post," one wrote, explaining.
Social media users commented that not many Trump supporters get a chance to study at Harvard, so even if the screenshot is not fake, the three Trump supporters on the campus would be 'devastated'.
