A sudden change in leadership at Indiana University’s Jewish studies program has erupted into a bitter internal feud, pitting a new interim director against faculty & students who say he is undermining academic freedom and reshaping the program’s direction amid tensions over Israel & campus speech.
In Indiana, a vaunted Jewish studies program is upended by red-state politics over Israel and speech - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
A leadership shakeup, a defunded graduate student and political pressure from above have turned a storied program into a flashpoint for Trump-era campus politics.

Centrist Democrats are the white moderates of today. What happened today describes exactly what Martin Luther King was denouncing back then. Today it isn’t about race necessarily, but it’s about allies, who are supposed to fight for us, telling us to lower our expectations, don’t make waves.

In this era, anyone calling themselves centrist should be deported out of the country regardless of their citizenship status. They’re worse than the Right wingers.

It seems to me that the typical Economic indicators no longer work. We have good GDP growth while the middle class is suffering. Centrist Dems don’t get it. People both sides screaming for real change. History shows us people will vote for someone worse than Trump if this persist.
Pollster: We are dealing with the worst ever view of current economic conditions since 1951. Consumer sentiment of current conditions down 30% from January when Trump took office. More than 3 in 5 Americans say that Trump's policies have worsened economic conditions in America
