Sadly neither the press & nor academic institutions are doing this. They are not using their collective power at a time when that's desperately needed. They're just bending the knee.

That's why Georgetown, its law school or its Dean should have sued when the interim D.C. AG threatened the school over merely talking about DEI policies, discrimination et al, in it's law school curriculum. You assert your rights for the next person & society, not just you.

You guys are not getting it. The boards and big donors of the universities are the ones egging Trump on to
Crack down on specifically Gaza protestors and along the line other dissenters. The University presidents work for the boards. Who is going to stand up and push back?

There were protests at fewer than 10% of institutions.

Of course. They are sending the message to keep students in line. No one on any board is speaking out against Trump. No big donors. They like crushing dissent

cedarsavage.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Or, they don't want to end up as crushed dissenters.

You are not a dissenter if you are not willing to suffer the consequences. If you are not you are just someone spitballing an opinion

These little protests are working, but way too slow. Until we fill the streets like Budapest and Serbia, This orange turd will destroy this country beyond repair.

Umm, maybe you remember the Department of Education. This nation once had one.

It already is an attack on all.

No worries though, I am certain that we will soon have a bunch of new, federally accredited, for profit Universities.

They will probably all be Trump University campuses.

Molly the MN Republicans are trying to pass a bill on trump deranged syndrome. What is it? My understanding it covers people upset over the policies he is making?

The oligarchs should all get together and oppose Trump?

They have been for more than decade. It's scary to think you're under the impression this is just a recent event.
