Mark Bray, a historian of human rights, terrorism, and political radicalism in modern Europe at Rutgers University in New Jersey, claims President Donald Trumps labeling of Antifa as a terrorist organization is a cover-up for police violence.
In a Washington Post op-ed, titled, "Antifa isnt the problem, Trumps bluster is a distraction from police violence," Bray explains that Trump is trying to break the connection between...anti-racist and black activism." Campus Reform has previously reported on Bray for his authorship of the book Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook and his promise to donate half of the proceeds of his book sales to the far-left group. Bray appeared on NBC's Meet the Press in 2017, where he seemed to advocate violence. Bray's employer at the time, Dartmouth College, then released a statement, saying, "Recent statements made by Lecturer in History Mark Bray supporting violent protest do not represent the views of Dartmouth... the endorsement of violence in any form is contrary to Dartmouth values."

Bray - the loud and obnoxious sound made by a jackass...
Why do people of authority, say such stupid things? ANTIFA is ultimately not the problem, the corruption and failure of the Democrat-Socialist Party is definitely the cause of the problem, as ANTIFA is just acting as the Democrat Party’s terrorist arm, and its diminution or elimination is the cure.
Ivory tower academic who doesn’t know his anus from an excavation.
There may be some place in the universe where police can do their jobs without resorting to violence - but it isn’t on planet Earth.
like this Antifa wasn’t a problem?
dumb bunny doesn’t realize that at 0.07 his face is shown before he pulls his mask up behind the back of the officer just before he attacks the officer:

Talk about someone/something in dire need of being DEFUNDED. Not one Red Cent of taxpayer money should go to ANY “Institution of Higher Indoctrination” at all. Let them survive on their own. If they can’t, too effing bad.
It's way past time for online education to be the norm, and for ALL non-profit institutions to be required by law to make the totality of their course materials available online, for free (or for a nominal internet maintenance fee). Whether you attend Harvard and live on campus, or you live in Lubbock Texas and teach yourself using Harvard course material for free, if you pass a publicly administered test of your knowledge, you should receive a degree with the same legitimacy.
The only differential should be on the basis of how well you did on the testing (e.g. Joe Smith attended Harvard in Cambridge MA, and scored in the 60th percentile on tests designed to test his knowledge of the specific subject matter; John Smith did online learning while living in Red Lodge Montana and working part-time on a ranch. He scored in the 90th percentile on the same exam - and is therefore awarded a degree with a higher rating).
Don't doubt for a second that that outcome can happen. Remember that Hillary, after attending Yale law school, flunked the bar exam in DC.
Arguably, the most destructive ‘privilege’ we have in our nation is ‘pedigree privilege’. Who are your parents? What schools did you attend?
We don't need royalty. We need to provide a fertile national soil in which all those willing to work hard and sacrifice can grow.
Excellent arguments, FRiend.
Another problem is that university degrees aren’t liquid assets. I believe the term is “non-fungible” someone please correct me.
Personally, I would trade all my degrees for maybe 100 books I need to finish my World War One collection.

End the federal guarantee of students loans, in a few years the problem will solve itself as colleges that only produce liberals who cannot think or provide any useful service will disappear.
Exactly right!
