      Prosecuted for what? I agree they should be removed from all positions and we shouldn’t cede Berkley any respect like we shouldn’t with Columbia University but prosecuting them requires laws to have been broken.

    Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, and Berkeley.

    Do you think they’re the same investigations at Liberty, Brigham Young, Grand Canyon, and Baylor?

    All the conservatives who cried about snowflakes and safe spaces now have safe spaces for their snowflake politics.

    If all our schools and businesses could not be direct extensions of the federal government that would be great.

      You’re suggesting a system of anything less than fascism and that’s not going to work for this administration. Please report to the nearest ICE center for deportation.

    It’s not just Berkeley, it’s the whole UC system. Berkeley just actually notified the students/staff about it

      They’re already struggling because very few international students feel safe in the US now. Much of the research at the UCs is performed by international students.

        at least for the state uni, it was before he got elected. last i heard the states uni put a bandage, by giving hs students early admission if they do x"classes to meet criteria". its a symptom of a larger problem in the long run, yea trump just added more insult to injury. and because of covid, early on people were pissed they dint even get a proper education from the universitiy.

    UC Berkeley released the names of individuals and their “potential connection” to reports of alleged antisemitism

    Why are we allowed to be anti-anything except antisemitic?

    Why do Jews get special treatment over everyone else?

    You can be anti-gay, anti-women, anti-black, but as soon as you’re antisemitic, then there’s a problem that the government needs to correct.

      Israel does not represent jewish people, let alone semites, of which arabs also are.

      Parroting that transparent ad hominem removes any credibility to your points. Willing to bow to bullying or actually believing it.

      If you think this is actually about antisemitism, you’re crazy. It’s about attacking and weakening left leaning universities, which are seen as a real threat to MAGA (grads loyal to alma mater, lawyers, respected institutions, etc). Throwing a bone to fellow authoritarians like Netanyahu is a huge bonus.
