He can’t do this , court will shoot it down like all the other stupid shyt he does

Freedom of assembly is apart of the 1st amendment, meaning you’re allowed to protest as long as it’s peaceful

Are you sure? It seems like he's been able to withhold federal funds whenever he wants to.

There will undoubtedly be a story coming soon about how some judge blocked this and reinstated the grants to students :yawn:
Unfortunately, this isn't the point. Its like him suing news networks and they settled instead of going to court. The goal is to get compliance. There are people actively losing their jobs at my place not because it is doing financially bad but because of the threat of things doing poorly.

With a lot of stuff Trump is doing, the threats are as successful as if they were to actually happen. If schools don't want frivolous lawsuits ruining their finances and bad publicity causing death threats et al, they squash all of that shyt quick. This is the beginning and as we see, law means nothing to those pigs.

Long story short, some more millions of mawfukkas should have voted and ain't shyt else that can be said. We are going to get this work now.

Yup, and once you get the big ivies, with their enormous endowments, to tap out, then every other college, university, community college, high school/elementary school district is easy work.

Also, they can drag out the lawsuits like crazy.

Of course, OP left out that the cancellation of funds was due to them harassing Jewish students and the university not doing enough to combat that. I'll have to do more research, but the reports say Jewish students have faced relentless violence, intimidation, and anti-Semitic harassment. That does change my stance on this a little bit.

Also, Linda McMahon (yes, that Linda McMahon) is the Secretary of Education. Trump seemed to put a lot of people in positions that they seem unqualified for while talking down on DEI. Make it make sense.

The link above the article is the direct Dept. of Ed statement, which the article quotes, and which literally frames the story the way you just did.

You missed that somehow.

Because I can think for myself, and I saw the ADL and donors bully 3 universities into firing presidents, I see it differently. I see jewish donors trying to silence and intimidate critics of Israeli govt. actions
