Boards of Trustees ***LIKE*** the Trump demands. They ***AGREE*** with them.

They like the idea of putting the screws on activist, lefty, and Muslim students. They like the idea of a whiter student body and conservative curriculum. They want these things and think $200 million is a fair price.

if you're not tuned into US politics you may see "LA County Sheriffs Department" and think that's just what they call their normal police

but they are actually a network of violent organized white supremacist gangs with tattoos, a code of silence, initiation rites that require police brutality, etc

This bill now goes to the Senate where it’s likely to pass.
