Sean Duffy Lets Daughter Attend Harvard After 80 Catholic Conversions Ease Concerns

Summary
Sean Duffy said he and his wife will let daughter Paloma attend Harvard if accepted, reversing a family rule against paying for schools they did not approve.
Nearly 80 non-Catholic students converted last year at Harvard’s Catholic center, Duffy wrote, and a meeting with chaplain Father Nathaniel Sanders convinced him some young Christians can thrive there.
Duffy had described Harvard and other elite universities as hostile to Christian and conservative values, citing his daughter Evita’s 2020 experience at the University of Chicago, where he said she was canceled and threatened.
The decision is featured in Duffy’s new YouTube series, “The Great America Road Trip,” which he launched this week through the Transportation Department as both a family travel show and a values-focused narrative.
He framed the episode as part of a broader conservative argument to contest elite campuses rather than abandon them, while backing pressure on universities through funding, hiring and tax policy.
