In a memo sent to top #PublicEducation ofcls across the country, the #Education Dept said that #funding for schools w/high percentages of #LowIncome #students, known as #TitleI funding, was at risk pending compliance w/the #Trump admin’s directive.

The memo included a *certification* letter that state & local #school ofcls must sign & return within 10 days, even as the admin has struggled to define which programs would violate its *interpretation* of #CivilRights laws.

I am extraordinarily proud of the #students who stood up to remind #scotus that their voices are important and threatened by the #trump assault on #birthright #citizenship, and believe this brief adds to the discourse and understanding of this issue. We need more explanation of the stakes in allowing this rescission of rights and attack the rule of #law to go into effect.

Good News: Prospective college students are boycotting Columbia over its capitulation to Zionists & Trump.

Bad News: Scores of other colleges are behaving the same as Columbia.

Do your research, kids.

And good luck finding a college that isn't suppressing free speech. And good luck finding one that has still has any good professors, as more and more of them are leaving the U.S. and taking jobs in countries that still have academic freedom. That includes 75% of U.S. scientists recently polled in the journal Nature who are considering leaving the country due to the disruptions and uncertainty caused by Trump's slashing of science and research budgets.

And even if you do find a school that still permits free speech and academic freedom, good luck finding one that won't put you into debt for the next 40 years. Today, over half of all college students in the U.S. graduate with significant debt, averaging $29,000 per borrower.

#ColumbiaUniversity’s move to use #police force to clear demonstrators…could have been avoided, as #students were urgently asking if they could leave voluntarily….

The students, who that morning had broken into Hamilton Hall & barricaded the doors, told faculty intermediaries they had enlisted the help of a Harlem pastor to help them depart safely. But university admin, saying time had run out, allowed hundreds of police officers to come onto the campus to remove protesters from the building.
