Trolling Trump 101: You can now take Harvard courses in Wisconsin for free!

By Christina Lorey

Harvard has come up with a clever way to push back at the revenge-seeking president — by offering classes like “American Government” and “Constitutional Foundations” FOR FREE!

The Ivy League university has actually been doing this since the pandemic, but this new slate of politically-focused courses is a direct shot at Trump’s lack of education on the subjects 😉

Other free courses that are open to ANYONE ANYWHERE include: “Citizen Politics in America: Public Opinion” and “Lessons from Ebola: Preventing the Next Pandemic.”

Here’s the full catalog.

Support Our Cause

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Wisconsinites and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at UpNorthNews has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Wisconsin families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
