There's a sect of Republicans against any program that helps peeps not in upper middle-class - and they're using "LGBTQ studies majors" as a boogieman.

It seems they want to limit access and control what people choose to major in.

Expect this federally too.

Illustration of a cat reading a book. The text says, “There has never been a time when the people who’ve banned books were the good guys.”

Don’t feel like working on that thing today? Do it out of spite.

Mass Deportations - A Dark History Returns There have been two "Mass Deportations" of Mexicans and US citizens of Mexican descent that have happened before in the United States. You don’t know about it because this history isn’t taught.
