This is the slower, quieter eugenics-motivated genocide, easier, quicker and more efficient than individual bullets, murder by policy. We must change!

Anyone missing this needs to either turn it on now or stream it asap. This is fresh, new skool, taking the message to the people.

I am so heartened and proud of these newer leaders doing things their own way and probably educating many who tire of ole skool methods.

Why does the CSU give some campuses more per student than others, and why is that amount correlated with racial backgrounds of students. And this isn’t about who’s chancellor. This has been true at least 50 years. This practice needs explanation or end immediately.
