Are you really this ignorant? What are you doing on a board about higher education?


It is so easy to pick out the brainless losers who watch Fox News 24/7 and all they can do it repeat the lies and propaganda that Fox News is telling them. They completely lack the ability to think critically and think that Trump is a flawless God. Contrary to what they think, most Democrats are not 100% behind party leadership and have the ability to ask questions - we are not "out to get" Trump - we just want the standards of decent behavior and discourse that governed our country for so long. Let's start with Trump's childish name calling. Are they really OK with this? Are they OK with their kids behaving like this in school?

If we had literacy tests that prevented these morons from voting the world would be a much better place.


Wow. I’m imagining the pearl-clutching had someone dared to say this about inner-city residents. Unreal hypocrisy.

You don’t have to watch Fox News to understand what the top PP was saying. And “flawless god”? What on earth are you babbling about? Get a grip.

Not true - Tim Sands who made an entire career out of making VT big on DEI totally stripped it. JMU and VCU also did so. W&M and W&L have not

I hope his replacement is very right wing and takes UVA in the direction it should've been going in this whole time. Maybe they can change the school colors to red and purple instead of orange and purple?


Ugh! My kid has a couple more years there. I hope the new president does not ruin the school before then. Ryan was well liked and did a great job. This is very sad.

Hostility towards elite educational institutions (shorthand reference "Harvard" or "Yale" as pejoratives) and government workers (Agnew: "pointy headed bureaucrats"), with not very subtle appeals to racism as with Limbaugh, were a means for the Republicans, dominated by the country club faction, to gain and maintain political power (Nixon: the Southern Strategy). The anti-intellectualism and racism were interwoven, and we see that here with the attacks on universities through demonizing DEI and appeals to Islamophobia. Nixon, in particular, is a seminal figure in Trump's political development.

But whereas the country club Republicans kept the people who responded to these appeals in check to retain their elite control over the party and achieve their economic objectives, and never actually did much to higher education, this is front and center for Trump and Vance. Enforcing a Hillsdale kind of educational orthodoxy on the US is the objective, a critical pillar for the construction of society where they will be in the ascendency indefinitely.

I think this is very insightful, particularly with the recent historical figures. Can you say mird about the Hillsdale orthodoxy? thanks


From the wikipedia Hillsdale entry:

"Hillsdale College is a member of the advisory board of Project 2025,[58] a collection of conservative and right-wing policy proposals from The Heritage Foundation to reshape the United States federal government and consolidate executive power since Trump won the 2024 presidential election."

The entry also has quite a bit about the evangelical, conservative features of this liberal arts college: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillsdale_College

You do think Trump is a flawless God. MAGA nation refuses to say one negative thiing about him. They just fall in line. How can an evangelical be OK with this guy who violates all of the commandments?

And please don't give me your whataboutism. Lots of Dems questioned Biden on various things. Fox News tells you we all fall in line but that is not true. I thought he should have dropped out. I hated the cancelling of college loans. There were other things I disagree with. You people are not capable of critical thinking and questioning Trump. Except perhaps you think he should be going further in sticking it to the libs because rather than wanting America to be a better place for all, you just get joy out of making us angry. And no, that is not how we felt towards you, especially Biden. Despite being treated like absolute garbage he truly was trying to help everyone. Many of his programs were to create jobs and infratstructure in parts of the country where no one voted for him.

I'm sure I lost you a long time ago. Because I am asking for using your brain, empathy, kindness, and the values this country was built on. Your kids must be terrors if this is how you think. They clearly aren't being raised with decent values about treating everyone nicely regardless of their background.

The fascists are certainly pretending it is.

DEI is not just morally and ethically vital, it's practical. Businesses do better when they practice it.

The hate, misogyny and racism of the regime knows no bounds though, so here we are.


DEI is hateful and racist.


It really is and it boggles my mind that some people don’t see that. It’s a sure fire way to divide people, not unite them.

^^Lol when Fox News rots your brain and makes you stupid.


^^ When you can’t refute any of the facts presented so you resort to the lamest of retorts to disguise your ignorance.

No, DP here when you spew fox news talking points you are looked down as you should be for parroting such nonsense. Thanks for making it very easy to spot and ignore


Again, you can’t refute any of the points made. And you’re certainly not “ignoring” anything. Very telling.

I am an anti-Trump Dem who doesn't like DEI and thinks it went overboard. But I don't think this is the way to solve the problem. This is all just Trump performing for his loser followers. Unfortunately, they are too dumb to realize that. Is DEI stopping you from paying your bills or feeding your kids? Don't you have bigger problems? How about he focuses his efforts on creating jobs, building trade schools, etc. Rather than tearing down other schools that Barron was too dumb to get into?

The old "I know you are but what am I defense". Yup. The average MAGA voter has the IQ of Pee-Wee Herman. And probably also spanks it in public movie theaters as well.

Joe Biden let his own son be prosecuted by his Justice Department.

You are drinking the Trump juice and can’t even think logically anymore.


But then he pardoned him so…

I am not a fan of DEI. I think it has been overdone. But this is not the solution to the problem. It is so sad that people are falling for this performative garbage. Has Trump ever heard of diplomacy? Incrementalism? Doesn't this country have a lot of bigger problems? I thought everyone was worried about jobs and inflation and the cost of core goods. What is he doing about that. Nothing. Just making other people's lives miserable.

And none of you MAGA losers should come back at me with your pathetic Fox News talking points. Use your own brain and think. Think about how you would have felt about this 10 years ago before you were brainwashed. Think about whether you want your children to grow up to be like this horrible man?

I hate what this country has become.


If anyone sounds brainwashed it’s you. What an incredibly arrogant post. I don’t watch Fox News - ever - yet can tell from your posts what an extremist YOU are. Maybe you need to sit with yourself for a while and do some soul searching.

The ugliest comments of all on this website have been about Trump voters. No one would dare make similar remarks about ignorant voters who happen to live in cities. You just sound like the idiot you are with these vapid comments.

Lady, Trump supporters make racist and bigoted comments about people in cities every single day. You don't hear them on here because most of the people making them are either too rich to be caught on message boards or because they live in a town without solid internet access and think higher education is propaganda. Don't be obtuse.
