There is no more insufferable authoritarian lout in the world than a woke college student. I feel the same way about them that I felt about some of the politically active hippies when I was in college: you want to grab them by the shoulders and try to shake some sense into them.
It wouldn't do any good. They're woke and you're not and that makes them oblivious to reason and the truth.
At the University of Florida, the sins of the father can apparently be visited upon the son. The student body president is being threatened with impeachment for inviting Donald Trump, Jr. to speak on campus.
The university's Student Senate passed a resolution Tuesday to oust Michael Murphy for malfeasance and abuse of power over the alleged misuse of public funds. More than 100 students and alumni signed the formal resolution for his impeachment, The Tampa Bay Times reported.
The resolution accuses Murphy of using the fees to "advance his own expressed political beliefs" and endangering "students marginalized by the speakers’ white nationalist supporters.”
I sympathize. I wouldn't pay 50 cents — much less $50,000 — to hear Donald Trump, Jr. drone on. But there's a whiff of hypocrisy in criticizing Mr. Murphy for inviting someone he agrees with politically when liberals do the same exact thing.
There is a specific prohibition against speakers engaging in "campaign activity" on campus and university officials agree that Trump, Jr. did not violate that stricture.
"Student Activity and Service Fee money cannot be used to pay for campaign activity," university spokesman Steve Orlando told Fox News in a statement.

In 2014 the University of Buffalo (and its leftist directors) spent a whopping $275,000 to invite Hillary Clinton to speak for 1 hour.
Democrats spending taxpayer dollars to support other Democrats. Never heard a peep of protest from anyone involved.
I find it interesting that Don Jr. and his GF declined to appear at UF with TPUSA 2 days ago, since they had done so a week ago at UCLA, etc.
My Alma mater.
I think it is becoming clear to many that TPUSA’s Charlie Kirk might be re-election Kryptonite, or perhaps not heping Don Jr, either.
I just did a search and I found a link to the (now many times taken down then re-uploaded) video:

I have chosen a starting point I think will save viewers time, but of course you can manually backtrack to whatever earlier point you prefer.
Many good questions here, including people who donned stealth cloaks, the meaning of which will become clear.
Perhaps if college students fcused more on thier studies we would rate far better in graduating prepared students for the real world rater than the fantasy world they play in.
new protest song:
“Any day now, any way now...I shall be impeached”
Not many places are more dictatorial than US colleges - Cuba and NK come to mind.
Yes...all is going according to plan!
Me too.
The faculty and a lot of students have long been avowed Leftists.....at least since the 60s as far as I know. Of course we alums have long leaned the other way. I think it’s the same at most universities.
I was in engineering, so it wasn’t bad.
We were all too damn busy to whine about crap.
“My Alma mater.”
My Alma Mater is Fordham University in the Bronx and they have John Brennen as a “Fellow” at the School Of Law. No longer donate to them.
Liberals ruin everything they touch.
I attended for a few years at Fordham . It wasn’t a bad school. The Jesuits weren’t full blown leftists as opposed to today.
