colleges? Is this another Devos move that she will play dumb about? We know it is about not having poc as immigrants. People who come from almost nothing often vote liberal even as they become, say, a cardiologist. They make bad GOP cult members. They know trauma and corruption often. They come to the US to live free of it.

1. I dont know why we even call them "liberal" colleges.

Liberal means mature, worldly, intelligent, open to new ideas, etc.

All colleges should have a liberal attitude.

In fact, all humans should.

2. I think it's to force them to open campuses

Why? I don’t know. To fulfill the fantasy that all is well?

3. Don't like deportations, but think it's just saying that if you can

take classes online — and don’t need to be in USA — that shouldn’t qualify as a reason to be here.

Don’t like it, don’t think many will be deported, etc., but I guess it makes sense in a perverted GOPer way.

4. there must be government money involved somewhere.

unfortunately, the brain-drain is only going to get worse.

5. Oh it's a definite white supremacist power grab.

And I suspect it won't be the last one we see.

6. Just read that most universities will offer a non-credit class so students can fulfill this req

Something along the lines of "Balancing your checkbook 101" where the students are socially distanced, spread out over a semester, small outdoor sessions etc.

This is a small, petty, bullshit move that universities have dealt with since forever with premier student athletes. They know how to structure a class so a student can "take it" in person while guaranteeing they don't have to actually take it AND they pass

7. Ignorant and ill educated people are easier to control and persecute.

8. Some foreign students know what corruption looks like and what it does to a nation. GOP

is counting on americans remaining naive to it.
