Commence the brain drain as students and educators flee to schools in states that aren't batshit insane. Which suits the Repubs fine because that's less libruls voting the "wrong" way in the foreseeable future.
This is the part I don’t understand. I work in higher ed so it’s obvious that highly educated people see diversity as a strength and not a weakness. By definition you are weakening the core of education with this shit. Students aren’t dumb and will vote with their dollars. Not to mention the good faculty won’t stand for this kinda crap and will move. I mean as a student it is an investment in your future so why would you settle for an inferior product?
They don't care about the students, they just want the education system to propagandize for them.
No I know they don’t. But universities without students aren’t really viable.
Yes, and that's their goal. They don't want viable universities for the masses.
Wdym? They have a football team
/s
A lot of big universities are just investment banks that also run a school these days.
They just need to take over the legislatures of something like 11 more states and they'll have enough states under their control to hold a constitutional convention and change the constitution.
They absolutely want to drive liberals out of their state.
