If they can prove it, this’d be a civil rights violation yes? Freedom of association. Colleges that receive public money have to act constitutionally unlike a private school or club.

As I understand it, if you’re studying social work, education or any field like that you are required to take an oath for social justice and equal rights of all kinds. I heard this about 20 years ago when I was looking at getting a masters degree in vocational rehabilitation. Anyone ever hear of this?

Like it or not the intransigence and compativeness of the Left are driving American society apart. It cannot hold. They can’t tolorate losing.

This practice should not be legal. It is Orwellian!

U.S Colleges - institutions of higher learning, or indoctrination factories? I lean toward the latter.

WRT shutting out conservatives....here’s something you can do right now. ACTION NOW——THEY NEED TO GET THOUSANDS OF LETTERS INFORMING THEM YOU ARE COMMISSIONING AN INDEPENDENT AUDIT OF THE SCHOOL’S FINANCES AND HANDLING OF PUBLIC MONIES.... .for the following reasons:

According to the Association of CPA’s, an audit is a systematic and independent examination of books, accounts, statutory records, documents and vouchers of an organization (non-profit or publicly-held) to ascertain authenticity of financial statements as well as non-financial disclosures and to codify that the account presents a true and fair view of the issues at hand.

An audit also attempts to ensure that the account is properly maintained as required by federal and state law. The auditor perceives and recognises the issues, and conducts a examination, obtains evidence, evaluates the same, and formulates an opinion on the basis of informed judgement which is communicated through an audit report.

Issues such as colleges receiving federal and state tax dollars, applying for public monies, disposition of public monies, billing procedures, and the detailed reporting of these issues. This includes the federal government, state government, the SEC, Banking oversight agencies, ERISA, insurance and other liability companies.

Areas commonly audited include: compliance audits, internal controls, quality management, project management, and collection and disposition of public monies. As a result of an audit, principles and stake-holders may effectively evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, for the edification of the relevant federal and state governance agencies and taxpayers with a financial stake in the subject matter.

Financial audits are commonly performed to ascertain the validity and reliability of information, as well as to provide an assessment of a system’s internal control. As a result of this, each party can have an accounting given on financial statements based on on the audit evidence obtained.

Due to constraints and limitations that might be placed on the auditor, an audit seeks to provide reasonable assurance that the statements are free from material error. In the case of financial audits, a set of financial statements are said to be true and fair when they are free of material misstatements – a concept influenced by both quantitative (numerical) and qualitative factors.

Copies of the audit are to be provided to federal and state governments, taxpayers, including legal oversight agencies, liability companies and oversight agencies, and officials of the state and federal government deemed stakeholders in the resultant financial accounting.

It is entirely possible that a school's federal offenses may include, but not be limited to:

<><> Title 18 U.S.C. §1341, Mail Fraud, 18 U.S.C.§1001, Presenting a False Document to an Agent of the US Government for funding (may involve several felonies and could include forgery);

<><> 18 U.S.C.§1027 False statements and concealment of facts in relation to documents required by ERISA enacted 1974 and other possible offenses including civil and/or criminal RICO violations.

<><> 18 U.S.C. §§1961-68 (RICO Act)18 U.S.C. §1001 (making false Statements to Agents of the US Government,

<><> 18 U.S.C. §241(Conspiracies Against Civil Rights). Violation of Civil Rights under Color of law and conspiracy. Conspiring with others to violate 4th amendment rights.

<><> Possibly full investigations centering on RICO conspiracies under 18 U.S.C. §1962(c) could be warranted because (1) the persons (2) were employed by or associated with a public enterprise (3) that engaged in or affected interstate commerce and that (4) the persons operated or managed the enterprise (5) through a “pattern” (6) of racketeering activity, and (7) the taxpayers were injured by reason of the “pattern” of racketeering activity.

<><> Alleged Offenses could include Violation of Rights – which prohibits in relevant part, “two or more persons (from conspiring) to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District

<><> Title 18 U.S.C. §2 41 – Conspiracy Against Constitutional mandates in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of having so exercised the same . . .” See, 18 U.S.C. §241.

Taxpayers should demand the following agencies commence investigations at once:
<><> FBI — Wire Fraud Division
<><> IRS-Fraud Unit
<><> Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General,
<><> Department of Commerce’s Office of Inspector General.
<><> DOJ’s Criminal Division— Public Integrity Section

Subsequently, the student’s parents engaged me about this troubling situation. Immediately, I performed a digital background check on the admissions interviewer and found her to be a Bernie Sanders follower.

Quite a contradiction. Parents and students know that a certain school is staffed by far-left SJWs, but are nonetheless ready to sue to be allowed to enter.

higher education - another important societal institution that that political left has by the balls.

Waiting for someone (anyone!) to take on this issue. End the gray-train of massive Federal and personal debt that feeds the biggest cost-bubble America has - the cost of a university education and which supports leftist parasites. Point out the obscenity of institutions with $ Billions in tax-free endowments (ie. hedge funds). Use their out-of-touch elitist administrators as political punching bags.

The Dems scream for free tuition for all. What do conservatives do? They whine about unfairness.

The article didn't even provide evidence of it.

What exactly is in one’s digital profile and digital background check?

Who can get those about you?

Who all uses them?

Anyone. It's available for purchase from the majority of businesses.

All major businesses. We pay aggregators or do it ourselves from distinct sources.

Would they reject ME, for posting THIS:

ACHTUNG: It is worth noting that Fakebook CENSORS any mention of a website, www.CodeIsFreeSpeech.com that provides FREE downloads of 3D-printable firearm blueprints. And, since Facebook logins are so prevalent for posting commentary across the Internet, they are very effectively suppressing this “Forbidden knowledge”. Please go to the website, download some or all 10 of the free blueprints, and then, repost it to your friends and across the Internet, to the extent you can. Strike a BLOW against Fakebook and judicial CENSORSHIP! Support TWO amendments at once, the First and the Second!

Well, if it can be proven, all students who were denied on this basis should receive a nice sum of money. Enough to go a non liberal college 10 times over.

Seriously though; the education at liberal colleges isn’t worth a dime let alone hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. Liberal colleges are nothing more than indoctrination centers now.

Alternatives are out there. I hope they are utilized.

Some more subjective BS: do they even list ALL those sites listed as ‘controversial’....do they define ‘controversial’?!

But I’m told that all will be smooth sailing for conservatives if they just invest ina new site. Of course membership in that site could be grounds for blacklisting in job hiring and renting a room or finding customers for your products...
