I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

The university presidents mostly have a cushy job except for the PR aspects. Most of them are picked because they’re the least offensive choice for a go between for the school and legislators, the media, and the general public. Bland and vanilla are the flavors of the day here…hard to get passion and drama from a dead fish because the wrong words or context will get them in hot water so fast, so they have to be that way to save their jobs.
And they have to keep straight faces when they agree with tuition rates.
I figure THIS single aspect is especially important in this era of unaffordable college, although I'm unaware of ANY college presidents who have spoken up about this scandalous situation. in fact, I wonder how long a president would last who decided to attack obscene tuition charges. I know a kid who's on a mostly full scholarship at the University of Rochester. he wrote a paper that every person in his family thought was brilliant. I asked for a copy and thought that since the kid was a freshman who hadn't yet taken a real composition class, I might have been able to grant it a C (or even C plus) if it had been significantly revised so that it, at very least, fulfilled the assignment. but to keep the peace, I said that the situation didn't include me. it was a smart move...the teacher gave the paper a B+. I found a listing of national tuition rates, and The University of Rochester has one of the very highest in the country...$65,000/year. obscene at a quarter of the price. and that's not even mentioning all the famously scintillating Rochester nightlife.
now one thing has gotta be true: either the teacher is incompetent (and MANY college teachers are incompetent as TEACHERS because most of them have never had to demonstrate any kind of competence in the classroom) OR they're calculating that if they want to keep the peace (not to mention the job itself), they'd better give out good grades. that tenure shit don't grow on trees. and now, I'm wondering what percentage of the faculty is adjunct...
