    He didn't say anything about illegality. I think he suggested a boycott. It is log illegal to have bad policies.

    Let's make it a homework assignment for you to find out and report back to us.

    Ok. You've really worked yourself into quite a lather with your latest 'trigger the libs' thread, and your visual aids are quite slick.

    Woke is just the latest boogey man that reactionaries create to justify their eternal bigotry. The epithets change but the paranoia and bigotry remain the same.

    True, but I won't them to definite themselves. So far, they have danced around the definition while using assumptions, false assumptions, fear, etc.

    You think I'm fed up? The whole Country is fed up. There is no way that you aren't fully aware of just how nutty all this stuff is, coming from various zealot extremists within the Left.

    Claudine Gay and the Mafia of Mediocrity

    [​IMG]
    The DEI agenda lends itself to corruption.

    'After Gay’s shambolic performance in Congress, questions were asked and answered by the public: how did someone with a wafer-thin scholarly record of only 11 journal publications over a period of 26 years get to become the president of Harvard? Allegations and proof of nearly 50 instances of plagiarism followed. How on earth was this overlooked? Where were the gatekeepers?'

    'The Harvard Corporation, the authority responsible for hiring the university’s president, after a series of denials and statements of “unanimous support for the president”, threats against the New York Post and accusations of bigotry, they persuaded Gay to step down. Nevertheless, she continues to stay employed by Harvard as a tenured professor, retaining an annual salary of around $900,000. As for the university itself, the result is at least a billion dollars in withdrawn commitments from various donors, more congressional probing, a slump in applications from prospective students, and the trashing of its reputation.'

    I'm hopeful that the more sensible within the Left will reassert control over the movement.

    Woke is the worldview that justifies the resentment the losers feel for the successful. It is a war against excellence by the mediocre.

    Tax The Woke Bastards: IT’S PAST TIME: Policy experts, right-to-left, weigh in on taxing university endowments.

    [​IMG]

    'Only a handful of colleges have significant endowments'

    'President Donald Trump has suggested taxing the endowments of large private universities to pay for a free, online “American Academy.”'

    It's only fair.

    'Increasing the tax on endowments has won support from other Republicans and conservatives.'

    'The College Fix surveyed several policy experts to discuss the pros and cons of the idea.'

    “While an endowment tax might affect how a small group of colleges operate, most students attend schools that would see little to no impact from a heavier endowment tax,” Preston Cooper, a senior fellow with the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, told The Fix via email.

    'This is because most “university endowment wealth belongs to just 120 universities, even though there are thousands of colleges nationwide,” Cooper said.'

    'According to Cooper, the 1.4% tax from President Trump 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “raised 68 million” from 33 institutions.'

    Let's Do It.

    See how the lying woke bastards in the Lying Fake News, slander us as ongoing practice? We need to make sure that the lying woke bastards in fake news are paying their fair share of taxes too. Hell, just collecting the due taxes from the Bribed Bidens would be a big step in the right direction.

    LOL, this is just too funny. The hard right, the faction of the party that wants to not raise taxes on anyone is now going to raise taxes on private universities with "large" endowment" funds. Most universities fall under the IRC 501c organization category. The only difference is who is paying or supporting the university in tuition. Thus, it will not only include Harvard, who has the largest endowment fund, but also universities such as Texas A&M, Stanford, Duke, University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, and the rest here.

    Trump is trying to "resurrect" his failed Trump University. Additionally, we have a plethora of universities that offer online courses that are both private and public. We even have military academies where your education is fully paid for by the government. We have six of those. And we have a plethora of scholarships, grants, loans, and other programs that are either supported by the government or the institution itself. For instance, Harvard University has a program where they will waive the tuition if you meet certain financial circumstances based on your household income. Room and Board still has to be paid, if you are on campus attending, but this will apply to even online courses in the undergrad degree programs Harvard offers. This is nothing but a sham by DJT while trying to suggest he is "reinventing the wheel."

    Equal opportunity is not racist.

    Step-ups and hand-outs simply based on skin color, is.

    No one has done that. Race was A FACTOR, but not the ONLY Factor when a university is choosing who shall be allowed in and who shall not be allowed in. That is not DEI, that is a policy decision by the university on how it decides who shall be accepted to attend the university.

    I understand that, but was asking another poster how inclusiveness is racist. He answered the way I thought he would, while ignoring at the same time, the questions I asked.

    Yes they have,

    It makes race the only factor

    DEI also mandates training and teaching in corpoations nationwide which is racist and empty woke virtue signaling

    Fake News. You are replying to me and as usual your claims are fake news. I support taxing the hell out Crony Capitalists, Big Ed and eliminating ALL non-profits, and I want the Bribed Bidens to pay all the taxes on their bribes.

    And back to the topic of Woke Liars.

    FOLLOW THE SCIENCE: Mega-Study Finds That Minorities Don’t Receive Harsher Criminal Punishments, But That Academics Said So Anyway.

    Academics are just another group of lying politically corrupt profit seeking frauds.

    'Some of the studies found no evidence of racism in criminal sentencing and said so clearly, but their findings were simply ignored by the media, politicians, and other academics, who at times did not acknowledge a single paper dissenting from their hypothesis in their citations.'

    They just lie right past disconfirming evidence.

    And if you are a pregnant woman who doesn't want here child murdered or mutilated against her will, no one is stopping absentee balloting and you can marry anyone of the opposite sex you want.

    We've had enough of the Woke Infection spreading rot, lies, hate, racism, and division from Academia.

    WELL, BYE: Pro-Hamas Professor Leaves George Washington University for School in Hamas-Friendly Qatar.

    [​IMG]
    Academic Anti-Semite Hater Leaves GW.

    She was a big supporter of the mass rape and mass murder of innocent unarmed Jewish young women by Hamas who the drove spikes and nails through the women's groins after raping them so violently that they broke their pelvis. In other cases they murdered them by inserting a firearm into their vagina and firing. In another case the Hamas men raping a young Jewish woman, while one was raping her, another sliced off her breast and the rest played catch with it, while they continue to successively rape her, and when they were done, they murdered her.

    What does this twisted Academic Freak have to say about that?

    'George Washington University professor Lara Sheehi, who endorsed Hamas's Oct. 7 assault on Israel as "armed resistance" and discriminated against Jewish students, is leaving the school to teach at a college in Hamas-friendly Qatar.'

    Yeah get the hell out and don't come back. Once we have decent president, this vile POC will be locked of the country and not allowed to return if she's not a citizen.

    We've about had our fill of WOKE.

    Universities Are Not on the Level
    Academics should think more about what their industry has done to lose the trust of Americans'

    The Woke Crap died in the pro-Hamas anti-Semitic demonstrations and menacing of innocent Jewish Students on their own US University campuses, which should have been the safest places in the world for them.

    'it would behoove the champions of knowledge and research and expertise and truth at our nation’s elite universities to be a little less entitled and whiny, and a little more introspective about why everyone seems to like them less than they used to.'

    These institutions are dishonest. 'A lot of the research coming out of them does not aim at truth, whether because it is politicized or for more venal reasons. The social justice messaging they wrap themselves in is often insincere. Their public accountings of the reasons for their internal actions are often implausible. They lie about the role that race plays in their admissions and hiring practices. And sometimes, especially at the graduate level, they confer degrees whose value they know will not justify the time and money that students invest to get them.'

    TOO MUCH LYING

    'The most recent debacle at Harvard, in which large swathes of academia seem to have conveniently forgotten what the term “plagiarism” means so they don’t have to admit that Claudine Gay engaged in it, is only the latest example of the lying that is endemic on campus.'

    THEY THREW AWAY THEIR REPUTATION
