Indiana University fires IDS
adviser amid push to control
student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

After the success of the Brooklyn Bowl show, they ran it back in Philly at the Theater of the Living Arts on June 3, 2013. Once again, someone grabbed the audio and archived it. You gotta remember that D'Angelo was very out of the public eye at this time. People were FIENDING for this.

The Supreme Court rewrote the 14th Amendment so that it's no longer the pro-Black amendment it was intended to be, but rather bans all racial classification to the benefit of white people and detriment of everyone else.

We're about to undergo a wholesale rewriting of the Equal Protection Clause.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.
