This is the part I don't get.  They act like people are being dragged off the street and forced to watch Clockwork Orange style.

Seems like an easy solution to me.


Loyalty test. If you'll let this go unchecked, you'll let the next thing go, and so on, and so on.

Interfacial marriage is right around mid 90s approval % so that doesn't appeal to the masses and would hurt them in doing so where as transgender sits roughly at about low 30s in approval % with bulk of that coming from one party.

UT is just the local facet of the overall greater move towards totalitarianism.

The Trump administration has frozen $175 million in federal funding from the University of Pennsylvania because of its policies that allow trans women to compete in women's sports.

"Promises made, promises kept," said a post on X, formerly Twitter, by Trump's rapid response communications team in the White House, sharing a Fox Business report about the funding freeze.

A UPenn spokesperson told Newsweek the college was aware of the reports of the freeze but has "not yet received any official notification or any details."

"It is important to note, however, that Penn has always followed NCAA and Ivy League policies regarding student participation on athletic teams," the spokesperson said.

"We have been in the past, and remain today, in full compliance with the regulations that apply to not only Penn, but all of our NCAA and Ivy League peer institutions."

...

Fox Business cited a senior administration official as saying this action is "just a taste" of what is to come for UPenn, and said the freeze relates to discretionary funding from the Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The official reportedly said the university is "still at risk of losing all its federal funding" over the Title IX investigation into UPenn for allowing trans swimmer Lia Thomas to compete on the women's team and use women's facilities such as locker rooms.

Just fucking insane the degree of hatred that trans people get for simply trying to live their lives and participate in society. It's not even about them in particular, they're just the people in the crosshairs while a madman is at the trigger

1. You do know that trans /= drag, right? It seems like you don’t.

2. It seems to me that as a freedom loving American we should hold firm on protecting the rights of all of us and not base policy for constitutionally protected rights based on a poll of popular opinion.

Conservatives think using preferred pronouns is an infringement of their rights, so appealing to freedom goes the opposite direction.

This bears repeating: https://www.yahoo.com/news/texas-bill-increase-oversight-universities-222919953.html

State lawmakers introduced on Thursday sweeping legislation that would create a new office to police higher education institutions, currently under fire by conservatives who claim they are not complying with a statewide ban on diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

The bill also proposes giving universities’ governing boards more power to hire administrators and oversee curricula. The boards have traditionally allowed the institutions they oversee to manage some of those affairs in the spirit of respecting their academic independence.

Senate Bill 37 would create an Office of Excellence in Higher Education within the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The new office, led by a governor appointee, would be responsible for investigating claims that universities and colleges have broken state laws or their own policies.

 

BUDAPEST, April 27 (Reuters) - Hungary's parliament passed legislation on Tuesday setting up foundations to take over the running of universities and cultural institutions in a move critics say extends the ideological imprint of the ruling right-wing government.
Currently, most Hungarian universities are owned by the state but have a large amount of academic autonomy.
 
The bill, drafted by Prime Minister Viktor Orban's deputy, says the universities need to be reorganised and run by foundations because modern conditions require a "re-thinking of the role of the state" and the foundations will manage institutions more efficiently.

It's moreso that you think that the above was a good move. Because the above is what a fascist shithole looks like.

They're going for cheap appeal to the masses for points....so yeah. In the big post election discussion thread it was a conclusion that democrats need to quit being pussies, take the gloves off, and start fighting fire with fire. Quit fucking being victims about everything and step the fuck up. Republicans are in a win at all cost mentality, be damned of the way things are with regards to constitution. 

Trump and his people rode the victim train all the way to the White House.

interim president named a sole finalist for provost ...

The sole finalist, William Inboden, is the current director of the Alexander Hamilton Center for Classical and Civic Education at the University of Florida — a school created by the Florida state Legislature in a similar manner to UT’s own School for Civic Leadership, which received a $100 million boost from the UT System regents last month that was praised by Texas’ top leaders.

Zerwas was a GOP state rep and Davis clerked for Al Gonzales and then reported directly to Paxton. So…
