So the GOP’s official position would seem to be that in the interest of viewpoint diversity, university history departments should hire more Republican-voting Holocaust deniers, but then to combat antisemitism they should immediately fire them?
I missed this from the Manhattan Institute survey on December 1 of the "current GOP." 37% are Holocaust deniers, which, to my surprise, is greater than the percentage (33%) that believes vaccines cause autism.

Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border.
New data suggests separations are happening all over the country, often after little more than a traffic stop.
