The new requirements are "nudging school officials to be the ‘bad guys’ and give more excuses to terminate student visa records," one school official said.
They are coming for all of us who are against this genocide and if you think you and I are safe from this Gestapo-like system, then wait till they are cuffing you in plain clothes and taking you without charging you with a crime.
Well. I hope the quote Prem stated is correct, that no university official worth their salt will implement these requirements. We have to count on civil disobedience, on the part of university officials, hopefully done quietly. I'm not resting easy with that.
BUT this means that those of us who are NOT at risk of being reported, distorted, and deported must step up even more. Please find a demonstration at least every weekend, stand out even in small numbers. Our citizen status - especially for those of us who are white - is a privilege we must use to its full advantage.
And - this BS is disgusting. Appalling. The 20th century may have been the USA's century for world influence/domination, scientific discovery, and calling the shots. The 21st century will not be.
Fascinating. If an observant Jew protests Israel's actions and yells "genocide" and some other student calls that intimidation, is that Jew antisemitic.
When did the federal government get involved in discipline of any private institutions violations of whatever their code of behavior is? What if a group including citizens and visa holders protests on the grounds of a golf club that still has an implicit barring of Jews and treads on the greens? They can be evicted for trespass by the club, for sure. But the citizens are just evicted from the club and the visa holders evicted from the country? How about violations of a dress code, say wearing an off the shoulder blouse. Does that need to be reported to ICE if the violator is on a Visa? What about a visa holder who joins with other TAs protesting cuts to TA salaries and in so doing (say, with a walkout from class) "disrupts classes?" A visa holder gets in a fight with someone at a tail-gate picnic at the football stadium over who gets the last of the cake and is accused of assault?
What BS! Going after True Semitics (Arabs) from speaking out against the Genocide of their people by mostly fake Semitic Zionist Psychopaths! Most everything is backwards in this world controlled by Darkness!
Unsurprisingly, the State Department is operating on the premise that: a) international students are problematic, participating in "terrorist" activities; and b) if the schools don't report them the schools will be in trouble. It has intentionally not defined the operative terms so it can go after anyone and any school that appears to defy them. As a retired academic and associate dean, I've dealt with a lot of international students and never found them to be problematic or participating in "terrorist" activities. The racism and hatred is so overt. I don't think the majority of schools will be reporting on their students for both moral and practical reasons (they don't want international students to stop coming to their schools as these students pay full price).
The majority of this is coming from Stephen Miller. He wants to shut off all foreign visitors, students and work visas so that only native born Americans will be living in the U.S. That is his long term goal. He said as much during Trump's first term. Now he has the backing to try and get it done. The idea is to segregate the population into a sort of caste system based on the color of your skin and other facial features, loosely based on the old Nazi ideology of a master race, with people like himself and Trump at the top of the heap.
I his mind and others like him, slavery or a system that loosely mirrors that would be perfectly fine.
This is INSANE! Where are all of the 1A defenders?!
But Trump said the Charlottesville "Jews Will Not Replace Us" chanters were good people. Make it make sense.
So this Republican administration is now a big fan of DEI …. Defending Israel Exclusively.
Sorry, was on the move whilst typing … Defending Exclusively Israel
