What a lot of folks don't understand is that as state legislatures cut higher ed budgets, for profit ed companies, Silicon Valley AI techno-chuds and VC scum= salivating to take over the multi trillion $ industry. That's the root of the DEI garbage. It's racist grifting turtles all the way down.

Elon Musk in his infinite wisdom has expressed absolutely zero interest in supporting disaster messaging on his platform: his priorities very much lie with whining about woke people, not trying to save lives.
