A buddy of mine in high school had a relationship with a thirty something.

We all thought he was a hero.

Who says you and Solar have nothing in common?

Academic freedom and the 1A, gone in one miserable Spring:

THIS university took away a student’s diploma over pro-Palestinian grad speech. Here’s what he said

New York University said that it withheld a student’s diploma after he condemned “genocide” in Gaza in his graduation speech on Wednesday (May 15), calling it a violation of the student’s commitment to comply with school rules.

Logan Rozos told the crowd during his speech, “As I search my heart today in addressing you all … the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine.”

Following this, the NYU spokesperson John Beckman accused Rozos of lying about what he planned to say in his address to “express his personal and one-sided political views”. He added that the student’s diploma would be withheld as NYU seeks disciplinary action against him.

... NYU said it “strongly denounces” and was “deeply sorry” for comments made by Rozos. “This moment was stolen by someone who abused a privilege that was conferred upon him,” the university added.

What did Logan Rozos say in his speech?

... “The genocide currently occurring is supported politically and military by the United States, is paid for by our tax dollars and has been live-streamed to our phones,” he said.

“I condemn this genocide and complicity in this genocide,” he added, without specifically mentioning Israel.

All true. Truth is gone in this miserable Spring, too.

... NYU is among the 10 universities that are being investigated by US President Donald Trump’s antisemitism task force.

Jackboot lackeys for Israeli RWers.

Where has this Republican zeal for protecting ethnic minorities been hiding in the 60 years since the CRA?

US State Department orders embassies to resume processing Harvard student visas

The US State Department ordered diplomatic posts around the world to “resume processing” of Harvard University student and exchange visitor visas on Friday after a judge halted President Donald Trump’s latest attempt to block international students from coming to the institution.

The new guidance replaced one that posts had received earlier that same week – calling on them to refuse visa applicants for students and researchers going to Harvard – due to the temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by US District Judge Allison Burroughs.

“Effective immediately, consular sections must resume processing of Harvard University student and exchange visitor visas,” the cable states, adding that “no such applications should be refused” as the presidential proclamation had ordered.

The cable was signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio....

I guess this won't be the case for a constitutional crisis. Nor was KAG in the end.

North Carolina sues federal officials over $6.8 billion freeze in education funding

Twenty-Five states, including North Carolina, are suing the Secretary of Education, Director of the Office of Management and Budget and President Donald Trump, for freezing more than $6.8 billion in congressionally appropriated education funding. North Carolina would be short $165 million which could cost nearly 1,000 education jobs.

“Congress had appropriated the funds, had approved the funds, to come to the districts across the state including Helene districts and now you have some federal government officials who have decided to simply, at the very last minute, decided to withhold those dollars,” North Carolina Superintendent of Public Instruction Mo Green said.

... According to Attorney General Jeff Jackson's office, if the promised funding is not delivered it would cut the state's federal funding by 10%....

North Carolina's public education funding is already near the bottom nationally and if these funds remain frozen Green said some schools will have to increase class size or cut professional development opportunities.

After-school and English learning programs could also be impacted.

“The Department of Education just does not have the authority to say, 'well we’ve decided that we’re not going to hand out those funds,' that is against the law,” Jackson said. “These are congressionally created programs, congressionally funded and if that money goes away for a lot of these programs North Carolina, our schools, we still have an obligation to do the work. They’re just going to have to find that money by making cuts in other areas, that’s why this doesn’t make sense from any angle.”

Jackson cited 10 laws broken in the lawsuit.

In the meantime, $6.8 billion remains frozen as districts across the country ready to return to the classroom.

Green and Jackson, both Democrats, believe this should not be a partisan issue.

"This is a commitment issue and a failure to honor a commitment,” Green said.

MAGA loves the wackadoodle version of the Constitution this SCOTUS refers to. Radio news said that Dementia Don is 15 for 15 in its "emergency" requests. I thought it had lost a couple.
