The tool of intimidation: keeping Georgia colleges "in line" with Trump regime

Listen, I'm all for prospective students and parents having some insight into a college course syllabus but the general public? The University System of Georgia is arming MAGA's "anti-D.E.I." and "anti-woke" cult with access to professors' course outlines, and those professors believe they'll face harassment - or worse - because of it.

Even worse, the USG is leaning on member schools to erase sexual orientation and gender identity from non-discrimination policies. The question is "why?"

------

Wild how slow Georgia Republican legislators are to respond to mass shootings and safe gun storage options, but swift to work on drafting bills to erase the state income tax and put a heavier burden on the poor and working class for the state's fiscal solvency. They're already propping up committee hearings with the intent to do just that. Jay Bookman from the Georgia Recorder joined me a couple weeks back to discuss this fiscal nightmare, incidentally. A worthy re-visit while we're on this subject.
