Jesus, that's a lot of negatives, give me a second.
So, the ED dept wanted to force colleges to get rid of race-based curriculum, financial aid and student services. But then a federal court blocked them from doing that. So they appealed the block. But now they're giving up on their appeal.
Okay, whew, sorry just had to work through that.
And in the meantime a lot of schools went ahead and complied so now it's all fucked. Which was the goal in the first place.
Thank you for this, I was starting to feel embarrassed at myself after re-reading for the 4th time…
Assholes who complied in advance already did the damage.
This is why you don't comply in advance. Just look at CBS
The underappreciated weapon in defying fascists: "Fuck you, make me."
They don’t need the appeal anymore, the damage is already done.
No it isn't. Colleges still teach race based curriculum, still have financial aid, and still have student services.
Except a fuck ton already got rid of those things.
How many universities capitulated? How many paid the ransom?
So that "race-based" is universal as a modified - they were seeking to force colleges to stop considering race or anything that appeared to be racially based in financial aid and student services.
Right, and a judge told them no, they started an appeal, then dropped it. The damage isn't already done.
