Ok so any university that gives in to these babies should have their federal funds cut in half. After all, they surely wouldn’t want the money from all those Trump supporters.

And if one of my kids pulled that crap, they would find their suitcase packed and sitting on the curb.

” OK, so any university that gives in to these babies should have their federal funds cut in half.”

Cut in half? How about cut all federal funds? It is long past time to end all federal support for public education. Terminate the Department of Education and let the states individual determine which functions of that department they wish to assume (and tax their citizens to support) and which are not needed. End the federal student loan programs and let the private sector and/or the state governments be responsible for making student loans and collecting what is owed.

These historian academics at the University of Virginia apparently do not have the intellectual curiosity to read and understand the principles on which the University was founded. Thomas Jefferson, the founder, wrote about his University, “This institution will be based on the illimitable freedom of the human mind. For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it.”

Jefferson would be appalled by members of the university community seeking to ban an individual from the campus due to his “speech”, beliefs, or service to an administration. Jefferson would have encouraged healthy debate of the issues, not banning a person or idea, no matter how repugnant.

Yeah, they're opposed to Trump.

Until they want something.
