As a parent, I’d be very upset if the institution of higher learning my kid attended had them arrested for doing what they’ve been taught to do - passionately engage.

@StillIRise1963 Someone once said unis (these days) are more like an investment bank/VC fund that dabbles in education on the side and it sure feels this way... 🤔

@Aviva_Gary Yeah, this is not okay on any fucking level. I’m glad my school hasn’t done anything asinine YET.

I know the Koch family has been active in trying to make higher education into a place lacking in ideas. I think they have already poisoned James Madison University and Wichita State University. Now, congressional republicans are trying to follow the Koch example.
I am not one for eugenics, but humanity would better off without the Kochs in the gene pool.

@ballista11 I think it’s more than fair to say they’re some of the worst human beings on the planet.

I think it's telling that the majority of the people arrested at these protests grew up living in multi-million dollar mansions personally so I'm not at all concerned about them.

@GreenFire Is that the point?

My point is that I have no sympathy for privileged people that break laws and then seem sad that they have to face consequences.

@GreenFire Do you understand the mission of a college or university?

Studying and working in academia for almost three decades provided me with some insight into the Ivory Tower.

@GreenFire I don’t like your take at all. I don’t care how long you did anything.
