Apparently now it’s controversial to explain to children that consent is required for sexual activity. Why doesn’t the GOP just legalize sexual assault and get it over with?

This is a sad but interesting question. How many grad students will leave and where, if anywhere will they go ?
Live here and am in grad school here. I have one class where 13 out of the 15 in it are leaving the state or country at end of semester.
That funding loss will really impact the summer where the population is half that so it’s about $2k per person.
