Ivy League schools founded to promote virtue, godliness have 'drifted radically' and 'forgotten their roots'

Harvard, Penn and other Ivy League schools were founded to promote morality, but have rejected principles as evident by the inability of leaders to condemn genocide, say some scholars.

"They’ve forgotten their roots and their moorings," he said. "They no longer have faith in God. They have made their political ideology their god." — Dr. Matthew Petrusek "It's not that they're not capable of moral reasoning. It's just that their morality has been hijacked by a progressive vision of the world."  "To be fair, this is a problem for all of America, not just for academia." — William Bennett "Being bright doesn't mean you have common sense. Mental acuity doesn't mean moral acuity." — William Bennett Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.

Such failures have elicited outrage toward Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania, while leaders of elite colleges face charges that they have lost the ability to tell right from wrong, once so central to their missions.
