[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's next? A purge of all the "intellectuals" and people with college degrees? Or only people with non-STEM degrees?

There is a long history of the persecution of the educated classes across time and across the world. It doesn't end well.

It’s one of the first stages of fascism. Always. [/quote]

Wrong.  I get if you are degreed in a legitimate enterprise:  medical, architecture, science, business, mathematics, engineering of all kinds,  a trade, physics, IT, law, etc.  That's an honest line of work.

But if you have a grievance degree and use it to grift (and steal by force of government), then you deserve to be persecuted.  You aren't an intellectual.  You're a modern day white collar criminal and deserve to be persecuted.

You're a drag on the economic well-being of this country.[/quote]

It is clear that you support this decision and so I have a real question for you. My daughter is in a PhD program studying early signs of Parkinson’s. Her lab receives significant funding through a federal grant. She consistently receives excellent feedback on her work and is highly regarded by her team for her contributions. And she’s trans, out and open about it. So should her presence in that laboratory stand in the way of them receiving funding from the government for their research? Should they be faced with the question of keeping her on the team or keeping their funding?[/quote]
