Given the massive taxes residents of Nassau County pay, it's a little ironic. But their property taxes don't go towards the community college.
Nassau County is a cesspool of political corruption and waste. But at least the rookie cops there make $100,000 a year to do jack shit. This used to be an excellent institution of higher education.

Quote from: kaysixteen on May 09, 2024, 08:55:57 PMI confess I too would be most interested to learn what kind of school has three dozen chaplains, and what, ahem, is the scope of religious affiliation held by this assemblage?A big, historically secular school. So there is room for a lot of things to happen on campus.

Chemerinksy also says "Please leave our house." Fisk then tries to pull Afaneh's microphone out of her hands. Afaneh says UC is funding weapons manufacturers and Fisk, relinquishing the mic, says "I have nothing to do with what the UC does."
So you can invade my house but I'm the one being dragged up to see what transgressions I have committed?
In a state with stand your ground laws, the response could well have involved a load of buckshot with the invader on the receiving end. But in Berkley?????? It seems not.
Truly we are living in cloud cuckoo land.
The charges of "Islamophobia" are simply hysterical.
The professor should have simply called the police, but I guess anger took over.
QuoteChemerinksy, a free speech scholar, has written that the presidents of the third-year law school class had asked him and Fisk to have graduating law students over for dinner last month.
