A class entitled “The Problem of Jihadists and their Progressive Bedfellows” is in order.

Cancel the course?

Forget that noise!

Alumni donors should refuse to give any more money to the university until the Professor voluntarily resigns from his job.

Course: “How and why white influence produces the most successful and advanced civilizations in the world”. Truthful and would make the liberals heads explode.

How about the problem with safe spaces for snowflakes? Now that course might actually offer some real benefit for the entire nation.

This is start. There needs to be a massive purge of course material and faculty at all our state colleges and universities. They have been out of their heads for a couple of decades now, and it is just getting worse.
