The tablets have been there since 1903. They say they are going to put them someplace safe. Next up..the destruction of someplace safe sites.

The purge continues unabated.

Destruction of our history ping list. I think this will be

a high volume ping list. Please let me know if you want on

or off the list.

"mandatory courses about white supremacy and the addition of plaques to add context to existing Civil War statues -- following the protests in Charlottesville that resulted in the killing of Heather Heyer, a counter-protester"

My heart grieves for that woman.

Still nothing for the 49 gays and their friends killed in Orlando last June.

Nothing but crickets.

Why not just self-demolish ? After all, UVA was founded by that racist, slaveholding white guy Jefferson

Let’s at least be consistent in our “outrage” and actions

Oh yeah, burn Monticello to the ground too. Why profit from a white bigot?

To get at the ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, investigate Terry McAulliff. What role did HE PLAY in the events that led to the deaths of 3 people. What actions do he take or authorize that promoted the violence on that Saturday?

[RegulatorCountry]

On the bright side, banning open flames will put a halt to the book burnings.

Would you have ever thought there was the slightest most impossible probability, that you could end your life in your church building with your congregation singing, praying and jackboots outside ready to burn down the building?

Is that still impossible to think today?

[PapaBear3625]

“No open flames” means “no candles” as well. Except the administration will always give a pass to any leftists.

Had the Army of Northern Virginia known that their state would eventually become a beacon for 3rd world aliens and socialist sell-outs, they might have done a bit better.

The 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The so-called birthright citizenship clause:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

There are two tests here.  

Lets look at test one.

Here's how Leftists read it.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Does this grant citizenship to all persons born in the United States?

On the face of it no.  It doesn't even come close to saying that.

The inclusion of an additional stipulation in addition to simply being born on our soil, renders this a false premise.  All persons are not granted citizenship for having been born here, without being judged to be under the jurisdiction thereof.

For this reason, it is a false premise to state every person born in the United States is a citizen.

Now lets look at test two.

...and subject to the jurisdiction thereof...

Leftists love to claim that illegal aliens must abide by the laws of the United States (all except immigrating legally, I presume).  This they use as primafacia evidence that illegals aliens "...are subject to the jurisdiction thereof,...".

Is that true?  NO, and it's a very easy thing to test.

The very inclusion of this verbage in the amendment deligitimizes this claim.

If being on U.S. soil made illegal aliens "...subject of the jurisdiction thereof..." all by itself, this further stipulation would not have been provided.

If all illegal aliens were subject to the jurisdication thereof, the Citizenship claus would read, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Jurisdiction language would not be necessary, and it would not have been included.

The jurisdiction language had to be addressing something different than merely being present in the United States, when being born.

Conclusion:

The 14th Amendment does not grant citizenship to illegal aliens born on U.S. soil.

Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Its time we judge the morals of MLK, Jr. and remove his memory because he was severely flawed and dishonest.

These universities have failed to teach their students that ‘list of demands’ are not how the natural world works and is certainly not how the globalist world works. It is, however, very third world kidnapper-ish.

Not to mention the cost burden of insane ‘demands’ will be born not by the current students but by subsequent students in the form of ‘fees’ which can amount to a substantial portion of ‘total tuition’.
