This is such a privileged thing to say but the recent attacks on #academia is finally really striking home. #yale prof suspended for ai new’s false claim, #palestinian protestor student from #colombia stolen from his pregnant wife, 400 mil of gov funding taking from #columbia, #22students expelled or have their diplomas revoked from #columbia.
It feels it’s illegal to have an opinion in academia, the ultimate place to form new ideas and opinions.

Corrected 👉 '400 mil of gov funding taking from #columbia IF 22 students AREN'T expelled or have their diplomas revoked👈, which Columbia DID, so NO funding cut. There may be more expulsions dunno, but I DO know the school was accused of actually hiding 'illegal alien' students... which is laughable.
Ps. Wonder how much of the 400mil cut would have affected state dept spook and CIA programs🤣. UC is littered with them. A geography prof here was outed a few yrs ago.

You can learn ANYTHING w/o these institutions if you desire. Most of the American White UC students here desire a Summer Camp and then go home to mommy and daddy with a 'degree' that only proves, for employment purposes, they can focus on something for 4 years
