The universities are in a truly terrible situation. They have little leverage, the state holds most of the cards and wants to gut their educational function and turn them into a sports feeder league.

Unless Florida voters decide to replace the government, the universities either bleed out slowly as the good faculty and students go elsewhere, or the feds and accreditation agencies rip the bandaid off quickly.

While #GOPDebate opponents tore at each other on Fox News, Trump and Tucker discussed how Biden looks in a bathing suit, how many people we lost “to the mosquito” building the Panama Canal, and how unfair water efficiency standards on home appliances are. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/donald-trump-tucker-carlson-debate-night-interview-epstein-civil-war-1234811372/

Ain’t nothin’ good ‘bout no edjumication.

Republicans want us stupid, because they think it makes us easier to control. And as an election judge, I’ve seen plenty of proof that they might be on to something. An educated electorate won’t fall for their simple-minded tricks, so they want us indoctrinated, not educated.

Dear #Conservative Activist #Dad Who Is Very Concerned That His Kids Might Check Out A Children's #Library #Book He Considers #Inappropriate ... well, don't let your kids go to the library, or only let them go with you in attendance. That's your right as a #parent.

Oh, wait, you're afraid that *other* parents' kids might check out a book that *you* consider inappropriate? Go pound sand.

I won’t be watching tonight’s GOP debate. If I wanted to watch a bunch of invertebrates gathered together, I could visit the Aquarium.
