Good for them.
Canceling the cancel culture........priceless!
Two words... Skull and Bones
Finally! Federal JUDGES do something Americans can be proud of.
So sick of “principled” loser republicans and conservatives that won’t fight.
“This type of thing is beneath us! We are better that that!”
FU
This is a war and we need to fight!
I think any corporation that recruits woke students from Ivy League schools are bringing a cancer into their work environment.

They show concern for free speech by preventing it.
They intend to punish future students for the transgressions of the current students.
I hope this court never gets to make a decision on reparations.
Skull and Bones is undergrad only and now totally ‘diverse’ and ‘woke’.
They are not doing either at the present.
“Two words... Skull and Bones”
Saw a documentary on that recently.......W Bush and WH Bush I knew were members......but John Kerry also.
Those jokers got more secrets than the freemasons......and I’m not entirely sure they aren’t connected in some way.
Zec 4:10 Do not despise these small beginnings,...............
When my daughter was looking at law schools a couple of years ago, she had mentioned Yale as the top, but it was known for their activism, other than the normal, corporate, litigation, tort....... stuff that they are supposed to learn.
They are cowards for not identifying themselves.
