A terrible win for Trump

The Trump administration was within its rights to demand that the University of Pennsylvania turn over information about Jews on campus as part of a federal investigation into discrimination at the school, a federal judge decided Tuesday.

The government’s investigation had united Penn leaders with Jewish students and faculty members as they opposed the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s subpoena. Many on campus drew parallels between the government’s approach and methods deployed in Nazi Germany.

No shit.

Trump's Nazis are saying they need the information to protect the Jews. And Judge Gerald J. Pappert allowed it. WTactualF?

For your own good, Jews

America has lost its way

 



And, so what if there were?  Universities offer all kinds of scholarships unavailable to every student.

Seriously?

Former Penn State University president Graham Spanier said he will soon begin working for the federal government on projects related to national security.

“For the next several months, as I transition to my post-presidential plans, I will be working on a special project for the U.S. government relating national security. This builds on my prior positions working with federal agencies to foster improved cooperation between our nation’s national security agencies and other entities,” Spanier said in an Email.

Spanier was ousted as the university’s leader on Nov. 9, less than a week after former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was charged with child sex abuse.

Some times you would just like to pretend that the notion that if someone behaves badly or poorly enough in a high position, then they will get a job at the White House, is hyperbole. Alas, it is not.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
