University of California student government passes resolution to divest – FROM AMERICA (Get a job?)
The College Fix ^ | 02/09/15 | Jennifer Kabbany

The University of California Student Association board – which represents all 233,000 students enrolled in the UC system’s 10 campuses – approved a resolution on Sunday that calls on the system’s leaders to financially divest from the United States.

The measure cited alleged human rights violations by America such as drone strikes that have killed civilians, and claimed the country’s criminal justice system is racist, among other accusations.

The “Resolution Toward Socially Responsible Investment at the University of California” passed with an overwhelming majority vote of 11-1-3.

Let’s divest the University of Californicate. No more tax subsidies. No more contributions. No more student loans. No more grants or scholarships. The stupid kids don’t like our country- let’s start exporting them too. Drop them off helicopters into Saudi Arabia or Isis or Syria or Gaza or any other enrmy krapistan dictatorship they like. Thrn fumigate the campuses thoroughly, long and hard and with the strongest antibiotics possible, and reopen them to intelligent, loyal citizens of America

“Student government” is something that should just be discarded to the waste bin of history

Sluts and moonbats who call themselves college students.

Perhaps the US tax payers should divest from the UC schools. No grants. No federal $’s what’so ever. You know, just so you’re completely clean.

I think they should be consistent in their thinking and refuse to accept any monies from America, let’s see how long they last.

Two things. (1) Are they going to throw away their iPhones which are made by the single most profitable American company? (2) And if UC only invests in non-American companies the endowments will be bankrupt in 10 years.

The funniest thing is they are calling on other people to do this, no need for themselves to do it because these are children and the haven’t created, invented, worked for, built, or crafted anything in their entire lives. They have nothing.

“The funniest thing is they are calling on other people to do this, no need for themselves to do it because these are children and the haven’t created, invented, worked for, built, or crafted anything in their entire lives. They have nothing.”

And they allow themselves to be lead around by the nose by a bunch of Marxist Professors. But is isn’t just the UC System that’s doing this stuff, all state university/college system are doing the same things. Do you really think that UC is any different than say Boulder, Austin, or Madison, etc? They are, and have been for my entire lifetime, shittholes of socialist/Marxist acolytes. This stuff won’t stop until we raid these “whorehouses of higher learning,” and take everybody a put them in jail.

Then they should repay all America loans immediately and have all funds direct and indirect from America seized immediately.
