The demonstration outside the Science Center was sponsored by Harvard College Act on a Dream, an advocacy group that includes Harvard students who are illegal immigrants. "Artivism" combines the words "artistic" and "activism."
What nonsense last week from Governor Charlie Baker and Mayor Marty Walsh about transgender "bathroom civil rights"! Where in the U.S. Constitution does it say that men and women born with a defined biological sex have a "civil right" to go into the bathroom of the opposite sex because they "identify" or "present" that way? What about the civil rights of those who would be humiliated or even molested when a member of the opposite sex invades their bathroom or shower?
When did this become a "civil right"? Was it on May 13, 2016, when former president Barack Obama's Department of Justice and Department of Education released their infamous guidelines on transgender bathrooms nationwide, threatening the withdrawal of federal funds from schools that don't toe the line?
