Friendly reminder that school administrators tend to take complaints from parents much more seriously than the same complaints from teachers. So if your kids’ school district is using PragerU stuff, please speak up.

He was very publicly known to be a sex pest & rapist who liked young girls, yet the message we gave him & the world was “no prob u can be president, twice.” It rules that we’re pulling that rug out on him now but man we really gotta reckon with the colossal moral failure of letting it get this far.

Nobody in their right mind has stated that higher learning institutes have too few white people. They're everywhere.
If Columbia IT had any balls, there'd be a mysterious server crash where afterwards everybody accidently had their ethnicity marked as Caucasian or choose not to identify.

Columbia University has handed over its undergraduate admissions process to Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, who will now decide at their sole discretion whether the university has admitted enough white people. It's no longer an independent institution.
