Cultural Marxism at the University rolls on.
The feelings of a very few to be given precedence over common sense to the point where common sense is no longer common, that always being the end goal of Marxists. And by default always to the detriment of all.
A silly little game of Marxist kids always prone to foolishness which requires adults to step in to put a stop to what is in fact another attack on the well being of the citizens of the Commonwealth.
Will Youngkin with the new BOV appointees in July so prove to be the adults in the room?
So, what is next? Shall we remove TJ’s name from the U?
The Marxists are out of order. Time for the adults to re-take charge.
My generation had the Vietnam War to protest. The current Marxist activists are scraping the bottom of the barrel for causes. They should work to restore respect with their Jewish fellow students after their pro Hamas anti -semitism
