I'm not pro this ad. This doesn't warrant a different thread though.

Well, whatever the reason, this dude's probably going to get a big payday.

It's also against the law. "At public universities anywhere in the country, faculty members have a First Amendment right to speak on matters of public concern, even if others find that expression deeply offensive," writes Adam Steinbaugh of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), a nonpartisan organization that defends free speech on college campuses, in an open letter to Auburn. "At Alabama institutions, they also enjoy a right under state law to 'take positions on public controversies,' and it is not the 'role' of the institution to suppress 'unwelcome, disagreeable, or offensive' ideas and opinions. And at Auburn in particular (which has earned a 'green light' rating from FIRE), university policy grants faculty the right to 'speak or write on matters of public interest' without 'institutional censorship or discipline.'"

University At Buffalo Scrubbing Millard Fillmore’s Name To Purge ‘Systemic Racism’

The University at Buffalo (UB) in Buffalo, New York, decided to fight systemic racism by removing references to President Millard Fillmore from its campus, despite the fact that the 13th president helped found the institution.

Announcing in a Monday statement their decision is one “that aligns with the university’s commitment to fight systemic racism and create a welcoming environment for all,” UB’s News Center said that Fillmore’s willingness to sign The Compromise of 1850, which included the Fugitive Slave Act, had rendered necessary for his name to be scrubbed.

A lot of historians blame the Fugitive Slave Act as a trigger for the Civil War. The act made every American accountable for the return of runaway slaves and furthered the divide between abolitionists and slavery supporters..

Cabot Phillips: ‘Cancel culture’ distorts history to portray US as evil nation that must be transformed

In reading The Cambodian Wars I ran across a comment (one that I've made for many years) - that leftists, Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge in this case, led a country into Communist ruin by the very same tactic that all leftists whether they be just run of the mill kids who failed to grow up, dedicated socialists or outright communists always use. They are basically one trick ponies - convince people they are victims - downtrodden - abused by the system; and that the liberal state has all the answers to alleviate their misery. Of course history proves them wrong every time and the socialist state collapses with people left far worse off. Pol Pot led Cambodians into mass genocide - overtly those smart enough to challenge the Khmer Rouge and otherwise the failure of the state to provide the necessities of life for many many more who simply starved or died of preventable and treatable disease. It's never been a great secret that agitation by the left is generally behind all our "movements" to address one or another imagined ill. However, it is ironic how that is ignored as fiction while outsiders using the same tactics were supposedly responsible for stealing Hiliary Clinton's victory.

Columbia University’s Band ‘Enthusiastically’ Dissolves Due To Realization It Was Founded On ‘Racism’ And ‘Oppression’

The Columbia University Marching Band announced Saturday it would dissolve due to intrinsic, irreparable damage caused by the club’s structure, which was “founded on the basis of racism” and “cultural oppression.”

Following a Sept. 12 meeting to discuss anonymous postings that alleged the band’s involvement in sexual misconduct, assault and racism, among other things, the band “unanimously and enthusiastically decided to dissolve” after 116 years of performance, according to the band’s statement Monday.
