Elite universities are caving to Trump’s authoritarian demands. Here’s what you can do to fight back: indivisible.org/resource/eli...
(above an image of Trump) BROWN JUST BECAME THE LATEST UNIVERSITY TO CAVE TO TRUMP (next to an image of Trump) TO GET THEIR RESEARCH FUNDING BACK, BROWN AGREED TO: #1 Enforce locker rooms "strictly separated by sex" - using Trump's anti-trans executive orders, erasing trans and nonbinary students. #2 Ban trans athletes by redefining "male" and "female" under Trump's terms. #3 Hand over admissions and discrimination complaint data - giving the federal government surveillance access to internal records. #4 Run a government-approved "antisemitism" survey - a tactic used to target pro-Palestinian student speech. #5 Pay $50 million - the price tag for political obedience, dressed up as "workfoce development." (alongside images of Trump and Brown’s campus) THIS ISN'T ABOUT CIVIL RIGHTS. IT'S ABOUT CONTROL. And Brown isn't alone. Columbia and Penn already cut backroom deals. Harvard has started gutting DEl and LGBTQ+ offices and programs behind closed doors. THE MESSAGE FROM TRUMP IS CLEAR: COMPLY WITH OUR AGENDA, OR LOSE YOUR FUNDING. CAPITULATION TO AUTHORITARIANISM IS UNACCEPTABLE. YOU CAVE, WE CALL YOU OUT. YOU RESIST, WE STAND WITH YOU. If you're a student, alumni, parent, or faculty member - tell your school: NO DEALS. NO SURVEILLANCE. NO HATE.

My friend, Brent Beal, skewering his East Texas school district on the topic of book bans.

Seriously brilliant.

(Brent's comment starts at about 2:25:10, so should the video.)
