Good for them. What a shitty, unpopular governor.

I wish all libs would likewise remove themselves from public events so decent folk don’t have to suffer their presence.

I applaud these students.

That’s what they said when we protested the South African apartheid regime and demanded divesture. They were wrong then and you are wrong now.

False analogy logical fallacy, but you are too stupid to even know what that means.

When you have to resort to ad hominine attacks, you've lost the argument sweetie. Bless your dirty heart.

I won the argument by pointing out your false analogy snookums.
And yes you are stupid.

Elected in a kandslide, and probably would be again if allowed to run.

Go back to bed.

Absolutely. These tantrums from what are supposed to be adults are so pathetic.

TLDR I got was
1. peaceful protest is OK but no encampments because they can intimidate students and interfere with the normal operations of a university.
2. He also did not support forcing students to take a particular racial literacy class in order to graduate.

As a parent who will in a couple of years very likely be paying lots (to us) of tuition to a VA public, it seems reasonable to me. And I am saying this as someone very critical of Israel’s response in Gaza. I also don’t think forcing students to take a such a class is going to make anything better, just as DEI hasn’t really made anything better in agencies and corporations.

Dems need to realize that if they lose the moderates, the only people going to college will be rich kids, because normal Americans are not going to support a system where they are footing the bill for nonsense and that is the way they will vote.

That's fine, then you don't have to participate in protests against Youngkin.

If you're flinging the term "DEI" around like this in a post, you are likely not a moderate.

np.. why do you say this? Moderates aren't that keen on DEI initiatives the way progressives have implemented it.

No, it's NOT reasonable. The governor has no business dictating what can or cannot be taught in a university. A university's job is to prepare graduates for employment. Big employers are heavily invested in DEI programs because most of them operate globally, so it's just good business.

It used to be that a university's job was to provide its students with an education.

An education that helps them get a job, yes. Are you being deliberately obtuse or were you dropped on your head as a baby?

These same exact kids that walked out today probably also didn’t have a high school graduation either, because of the pandemic.

I’m LMAO at how pathetic and fragile they are. As if the Gov or anyone else even gave a sh!t about their little stunt.
