    That’s fascism.

    Start buying guns and ammo.

    Also, lesson to be learned here. Never bend the knee to fascists. It’s never enough. It’ll never be enough. Just like a bully on the playground. Deal with them the first day of school. Don’t let them have power over you. We’ve already failed at that step and let them get a foothold. So, as mentioned above, buy guns and ammo.

      That’s the problem. They bent the knee. You don’t bend the knee to fascism. It’s never enough.

      Give them an inch, and they’ll disappear people to a concentration camp on foreign soil without charges.

      Never bend to a fascist.

      Have you been paying attention?

      If you aplease fascists, they just ask for more. Because you already caved once, they’ll expect you to again

      That’s the whole thing with the saying about “just give Poland to Hitler, that way he’s happy”.

      Like, it’s up there with “never start a land war in Asia” and “don’t invade Russia in winter” on the list of cliche military lessons.

      They obviously want to topple a top school to show the others what’s coming if they don’t submit totally and immediately.

      Columbia is lost already. It’ll forever be a bitch school, if it continues to exist.

    Columbia Journalism School is one of the best in the world, hence the targeting by the fascists. They want to discredit any quality journalism.

    It shouldn’t have caved.

    I would love to see a national coalition of universities. “If one goes down, we all go down”.

    Universities have clout; if they unified against the administration, they would have some serious leverage.

    I didn’t know that the feds accredited universities. When I was in school, the one that mattered for engineering was ABET or somesuch.

    Unlawful!? Coming from the gestapo government? That’s fucking rich!

    Where’s that “small government” Republican voters always asked for?

    The performance has to go on even the magician running out of rabbits. Desperate distraction for the endless tacos.

    Their war on education is out in the open, and their voters are loving it. They’re probably wondering why they didn’t do this ages ago.
