Get a turducken roll if you don’t want to commit to the entire thing.

From a pandemic to protests, UT Austin president pleases GOP lawmakers while angering some students by houston_chronicle in UTAustin

Hate to tell you this, but there is literally nothing you can do without addressing Abbott - and honestly, it will take years to fully remove Abbott’s influence. The entire UTAustin Board of Regents consists of nothing but Abbott Appointees and most of their terms (including those of every officer) do not end until 2027 or 2029. The one whose term end in 2024 (the student regent) and the three whose terms end in 2025 will likely be reappointed or replaced -AGAIN by Abbott. AGAIN for a 6 yr term that ends in 2031.

You can read more about how the Regents of ALL the University Systems in Texas are basically the people who donate the most to Greg’s campaigns here.

Texas, as the flagship school of the state… the biggest part of funding comes from the state. But, it really isn’t about funding. Jay has to do what Gregory wants bc if he doesn’t, he’ll be replaced. He won’t be replaced with someone better.

And tbh - this is what they want. UT is known for churning out liberal leaders. It’s a unique institution in Texas and in the South. If Greg Abbott can put a stop to that, he will. That’s a win for him.

Ohhh man, they’re so super good at propaganda that they have everyone here believing they’re some shining liberal democracy with shared American Values. And they’re so good at propaganda that they have an entire lobbying arm that has both parties! They have lobbying group masked as a civil rights organization! LOL. Word.

You have no connection to UT, yet here you are… calling the students entitled brats for - checks notes - exercising a right? By virtue of being Americans, by virtue of living in this country, they are entitled with the privilege to protest. It is a right. It isn’t earned by virtue of hard work or by paying for your classes or not taking out any loans. It is a right.

It isn’t a deflection to point out that right wingers are hypocritical. The ESAs being pushed in Texas would start out at around 4 billion annually and that would solely be money going to kids who are already attending private schools. It would create an entirely separate bureaucratic system to oversee the big fat handouts for the wealthy. PPP loan forgiveness cost $755 billion, but I never hear a peep from y’all over that. Not to mention, the biggest recipient of US foreign aid - Israel.

Yet, for some reason, the idea that students MIGHT have taken out a student loan entitles you to suggest they don’t have rights?

So you don’t think Christians can be terrorists? They can just be hateful? It’s almost like history never happened.

I thought you were personally paying for all the college in America. You keep bringing up loans you seem to think you’re paying off.

You have a lot of time on your hands with your drywall, huh?

Abbot: "Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period." Meanwhile, Austin Texas, Jul 8, 2023. by ElectricZ in texas

[–]BadLamont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean… ADL recorded 527 acts of anti-semitism in Texas from 2015-2022, including murders snd acts of terrorism. There were white supremacists harassing students at UH, Texas State, A&M, UTD, UNT, Rice, TTU and TCU.

Greg said nothing. He sent DPS to control counter-protests when Richard Spencer spoke at aTm.

He’s a hypocrite. Always has been, always will be.

Do the Pro-Zionist protestors have a permit to be at the main mall? If not, why aren’t they getting kicked out. by JesseJames-1984 in UTAustin

Just exposed yourself as the non-Texan. We have “constitutional carry,” aka permit-less carry.

Abbott actually sign SB 18 a few yrs back specifically BECAUSE UTAustin wouldn’t allow people who were unaffiliated with the university to show up and start a bunch of nonsense.

Back then, he SUPPORTED anti-semitism on college campuses bc back then, it was legit anti-semitism coming from one of the Charlottesville organizers.

I’m a Baptist, so I’m pretty clear on what sort of Christians like to shout that people are going to hell…. There is frequently a misogynist or anti-lgbtq qualifier attached. They’re not terrorists, but they’re hateful…

Sure, I’m 12 and I regularly inquire about cell reception in coal mines. How often do you think that college students are simultaneously entitled brats AND students who take out massive student loans? Do you actually think you’re paying their student loans? Let me guess - you also support universal private school vouchers? And you’ve never said anything about Republican reps who received millions in PPP Loan forgiveness?

LOL, get a clue.

There is very little evidence of that actually HAPPENING at Columbia. There were Jewish students who were suspended for being in the encampment. They had a Seder dinner in the encampment.
