Having one douchebag student out of a whole classroom is nothing new. The douchebag being indulged by the powers that be is. The problem isn't the kids, it's the old fucks in charge.
kowtow or half the campus gets defunded is a hell of a drug.
turns out higher education also only cares about money. Who woulda ever thought
Yeah, professors should pay for rent and groceries with their love of teaching, that'll work /s
Yeah, because professors are the ones raking in millions of dollars per year and driving up the cost of college so high. 🙄
How does threatening to pull state funding over culture war bullshit have anything to do with keeping costs down?
The professors are not the ones getting paid the most. Not by a long shot
The problem isn’t the kids, it’s the old fucks in charge.
A brief visit to College Station will fiercely dispel that notion. Most aggies regardless of age are in favor of this.
What's sad is that while these students are technically adults, they are being coddled like little babies.
If you cannot come into contact with something that conflicts with your beliefs during college, you are a thin-skinned little snowflake and need to get the fuck over it.
That's what college is for, FFS. It's not just supposed to be a trade school that is there to reinforce the beliefs and preconceptions of every student. If you come out of school believing the exact same things as when you went in, well, then, that can be considered a failed education.
I wouldn’t trust a school that thinks the executive branch makes the laws anyway.
You don't like our president's laws?! /s
What's this? A campus protest? I thought this sort of thing got you expelled now. Hmmm
It was never about the act. That's protected. The content, however... that's sedition.
God forbid, literally it appears, you learn something new in college.
"Let's not commit the sin of empathy" -Deacon Ben Garrett
Pretty sums up the entirety of MAGA.
I sincerely hope someone doxxes the little snitch so they can catch all the karma they have coming their way.
Not enrolling to that school after being admitted, visiting, and seeing it’s one big republican cult was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Another was getting out of Texas.
Let's find out who the student that ratted out the dean is - that person should not be able to hide
Big fan of Name&Shame™
The presidents laws...you guys are fucked.
I had a hard time understanding the Gender Unicorn graphic until I looked up the inspiration it cites—the Genderbread Person—and realized the things on the right were supposed to correspond to icons on the left, which apparently aren't just fire tattoos the unicorn has and are supposed to be labels. That's... not very clear.
Presidents make laws?
Apparently through executive order which Trump has been using like royal edicts.
Unfortunately they aren't laws. Most of them aren't even legal and don't have to be followed at all. Most just roll over and do it anyway for reasons I don't understand.
