Rubio is now conducting the very practices he built his political career on condemning from the Castro regime. He has become the thing he once pretended to hate.

What if a student comes to study polisci? And if protest is the problem,, then why was the Turkish student arrested for her OpEd piece in the school paper? He's so disingenuous.

Also, will students also be banned from attending pro-life events? I'd love to hear his answers.

So much for ridding the US of criminals, right? It must be just too hard - too much work - to find real criminals. Let’s just make up shit and hit some easy, soft targets and try to look tough. Or, is inserting fear into everyone with a different opinion, the actual and only point?!

Again highlighting how conservatives view education as a master imparting wisdom instead of a collaborative project to create knowledge

Someone should ask him how we got so fragile that we can't take criticism.

Rubio has always made a big deal about his "Christianity" (tweeting bible quotes every Sunday, for example), but he's such a flamingly dishonest man. And he makes an absolute mockery of Jesus' example to show mercy, kindness or charity. Its incredbile!

"w/ belief in hell as eternal conscious torment, authoritarian Christians can easily conclude the ends justify the means when it comes to “saving souls,” and the result is that coercion, manipulation, and even violence can be rationalised as “loving” behaviour"

I heard decades of "Love the sinner, hate the sin" but it was always pretty obvious they hated us but wanted to insulate themselves from their own feelings (or at least from consequences of that loathing).

Flipping back and forward between telephoto and wide angle is the oldest rhetorical trick in the book. And it works because it's possible to argue both at once.

Interesting how quickly they’ve moved from labelling people terrorists to just effectively outlawing “activism”

What a free country we are teaching these students to live in! Might as well call ourselves East Germany at this point.
