It definitely walks the line on free speech, but that is an expected outcome when people abuse free speech in a way that disrupts people’s lives and livelihoods. Sort of like shutting down an expressway because you’re mad that people burn fossil fuels.
For a less ambiguous government civil rights violations, here is the link to Portland, Maine Public Schools actual racist policy of “affinity groups.”
If you read through the justification of these groups, it pretends that Maine was part of the Deep South and ignores the complete lack of racial discrimination in Maine’s entire history of public policy.
If white people are so oppressive, why did so many nonwhites decide to settle in Maine, the whitest state? The answer is simple. It isn’t oppressive, never has been, and Maine Democrats have poured massive amounts of tax dollars into importing a new voting bloc.
The good people of Maine were sitting ducks for these plundering socialists, but they are starting to wake up to this massive scam.
Who should be involved when these guys show up on public property to disrupt student life and the public business of public education, if not state lawmakers who control the institution?
See, with 9/11 it was all about “XYZ, or the terrorists have won.”.
But our response actually tells a different tale. Our airports are locked down. Multiple security stops, 2 hr. pre-boarding arrival times, new laws, and even a new court system for wiretapping alone, numerous invasive developments in law and technology.
The terrorists definitely won according to the criteria of effecting change to our way of life. By a fucking mile.
Freedom of speech? “Watch this. We’ll abuse it so badly they’ll be begging to place more limits on it!”.
And so go our rights. We get tooled by external forces and cut our noses off to spite our face. Every fucking time.
There was a meme I can no longer find where Trudeau was saying (I think in 2008) that no one was coming for their hunting rifles.
Then 12 years later big gov daddy came for their hunting rifles.
Canadians were cooler back when they were adding sections to the Geneva convention.
They could not just be arrested or fined for disturbing the peace?
There are noise ordinances for a reason. Sounds like we dont need more laws, we just need them to be applied.
I dont like the precedent it sets. We’re 1 step closer to Thought Crimes.
The terrorists weren’t brown and stinky, though.
They were old white elected officials with deep ties to the CIA, Lockheed, Northrop, Boeing, Raytheon, etc.
You should take a look at what Palantir was contracted to do with respect to domestic surveillance.
I’m not positive, but it seems like they couldn’t, on account of bullhorn bullshit being considered protected speech on public property. To be clear, I’d rather no laws get passed to restrict speech in any way, but I also believe that students and faculty have a right to go about their business. If this law was meaningfully impacting someone’s ability to express political ideas, I’d have more reservations, but it doesn’t seem to actually do that in practice.
Yeah that one will almost certainly get overturned. Harvard is a private university that is absolutely not entitled to public money as a matter of course.
I don’t know anything about the source you linked, but I tend to assume that modern media is rarely telling the whole truth, especially when it comes to articles meant to paint the Trump administration in a negative light. Predictably, the article mischaracterized the Trump Administrations stipulations on public funding, only highlighting the antisemitism requirement, and not the 9 other stipulations like removing DEI, returning to merit-based admissions, and a lot of other stuff that seems like a reasonable string for the public to attach to public funding.
As a rule, I always try to go back to the actual source documents before forming an opinion based on an article that isn’t well-supported on its own.
Reading Harvard’s response tells me that they believe they are entitled to public funding while they are committing the institution to ideologically subverting our system of government with revolutionary race-based socialism.
Trump’s defunding of revolutionary activism is one of the best, most impactful policies of his second administration. I see no need for the ideas implemented in Lewiston and Maine to be further cultivated with tax dollars.
Harvard is still free to sell as much social justice activism to its customers as they want. They just don’t get public money to fund it anymore.
I’ve been skeptical about 9/11 since shortly after 9/11 when I learned that WTC 7 also collapsed without ever being struck by a plane. I had seen all three buildings with my own eyes earlier that year. WTC 7 was a 47 story building. Falling debris causing total structural collapse just doesn’t make any sense to me, and it didn’t make sense to a lot of architects and structural engineers of the early 00’s, either.
Back then Alex Jones had more of an affinity with the left, believe it or not. Lots of left-wing sites on the early wild-west internet were questioning the Bush Administration’s narrative.
You mean how BBC broadcasted that Tower 7 fell 20 minutes before it actually fell?
or how the official story is that the diesel generator in the basement had a leak, then faulty wiring ignited the diesel with a spark? You ever try lighting diesel fuel on fire? Matches dont cut it.
Or how Bin Laden was a trained CIA asset and how the 19 people responsible were Saudi nationals so we decided to invade Afghanistan?
All of this the day after Donald Rumsfeld announced the pentagon could not account for 2.3 trillion dollars in transactions?
What offices and functions did Tower 7 provide, again? Glad you asked:
SEC: The SEC’s New York regional office in WTC 7 was involved in monitoring and auditing financial records of publicly traded companies, investigating insider trading, and enforcing compliance with federal securities laws. It handled case files and documentation related to ongoing investigations, some of which involved significant financial transactions.
IRS: The IRS office in WTC 7 conducted tax audits, processed financial records, and investigated tax evasion or fraud. Its work involved scrutinizing financial transactions to ensure compliance with tax laws.
FBI: The FBI’s New York office in WTC 7 was involved in investigations that could include financial transactions, such as cases involving organized crime or corporate fraud. These investigations often required analyzing financial records or coordinating with agencies like the SEC.
Secret Service: Its work in WTC 7 likely included investigations into financial crimes, which could involve tracking illicit transactions or auditing related records.
