    Learning to think critically requires an exposure to a variety of different viewpoints. What do you have against diversity of viewpoints being available through college education?

    The current administration is fascist. Or are you glossing over them wanting to pack the SC because they don't like their rulings?

    Maybe you don't know what fascism means? You just like to toss the word around because it sounds bad?

    Let me know!

    I’m not sure what part you didn’t understand.

    I’m asking you can you show me ONE instance in which diversity was demanded when it was not whites in the majority?

    If you can’t, then on what grounds can you or anyone else assert that the term “diversity” refers to anything except less straight white people and more non-straight non-white people?

    not sure what you mean, do you mean if DeSantis does not find enough students are democrats, he will try to change that?

    No because that’s not even remotely how it works.

    Close, but it means judging people by the content of their character and not the could of their skin. You seem to have a bit of confusing about that.

    Nope, it's only been suggested that public funds be withdrawn. If a college wants to indoctrinate students towards the democratic ideology no one is saying they can't. But why should taxpayers pay for it?

    It isn't his job to police political thought in any school or anywhere else for that matter. Democrats and leftists already do a bang-up job of that. He can dictate to a large extent what teachers and schools teach, but he cannot dictate or even police what they or any student thinks.

    I suppose this is on point:

    "Spontaneous Violence 16"

    Pretty thin.
    By now there should be many videos of the Proud Boys approaching victims and throwing the first --punch if they are really replicating the tactics of the Brown Shirts in the 1930s.

    Really? Can you show me one instance of demanding diversity where it wasn’t white people in the majority?

    Don’t worry. I’ll wait.

    Precisely. Think of it as affirmative action.

    Am I the only poster of this board who know the proper use of the words "less" and "fewer?"

    Trump received "fewer" votes, not "less" votes.

    Yeah, Trump got elected by having a majority of EC votes, that's the way we have always elected our Presidents. The total national vote is meaningless

    yep, but we were talking about the people's vote, Trump got millions fewer of those, yet still won

    can you imagine the outrage if Obama lost the popular vote but still won... I can

    There would not be a word of protest from me. The national "peoples vote" is irrelevant.
