More to the point, this culture of students showing up to college at 18 believing they know what courses they need to take is ludicrous in its face, yet here we are.

A liberal arts education is designed to make you a better person, not train you to do a job.
If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.

It looks like Tom Cotton was being deceptive by saying video shows the men trying to flip boat "loaded with drugs." As I reported, Ds who saw video say no drugs were visible/boat was crippled.

It’s true. We shouldn’t pretend that. Trumpist culture is not the same as American culture and not equal. Trumpist culture is proudly ignorant, defiantly against America’s founding values and subsequently developed values, venomously bigoted, and generally despicable.

The game here is obvious - administrators are using the anti-DEI panic to shut down publications they don't like.
And I'm assuming "shut down" in this case means "cut off official funding" since they can't legally stop distribution... Anyone know how much it'd cost to print unofficially?

One of these is a racist, far-right aspiration to ethnically cleanse the West by forcibly removing all non-white people -- a goal now endorsed by the U.S. government.
The other is a sometimes ham-fisted effort to acknowledge this country's shitty treatment of indigenous people.
