This is horrible. Attacks on the humanities are another way to destroy our future. Now is when we need the humanities the most.
Arabic Studies, Holocaust Studies, Russian, Eastern European & Eurasian Studies, Religion, & more—decimating the humanities destroys our ability to understand the world, act in it, and envision a future. Blue states are complicit in this destruction of scholarship and teaching

A rainbow crosswalk that was part of a memorial to the 49 people killed in a 2016 mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub, a popular gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, was painted over this week by the state, raising outcry from city officials and the community.
Florida Paints Over Rainbow Memorial for Pulse Nightclub Shooting Victims
The mayor of Orlando, Fla., said that the crosswalk mural, which featured the Pride flag’s colors, was removed overnight this week. Community members protested and have, for now, repainted it.
