            Bu-bu-bu-but my grandstanding!

            Yeah this argument can fuck right off with that self-righteous snark. This is pretty cut and dry. Being a sex worker is not shameful. Being a rich-bitch actual confirmed asshole partied with anti-sexwork rhetoric politics accused of alleged sex work IS shameful, and additionally funny. Stop sucking billionaire cock. It’s funny because of the hypocrisy; not the sex work.

              “He should be insulted for it because he spent time with some people who oppose it!” lol. Imagine typing this out while accusing other people of grandstanding.

    This is why we need to strengthen department of education. Otherwise these asshole billionaires will run education system like theirs own fiefdoms.

    Of course repubes want to get rid of department of education. Perfectly on brand.

      Billionaires certainly despise unions, profiting by exploiting working people is fundamental to their business models. So Republicans of course loathe unions and thus degradation and control of public education, public school teachers has been a running long term goal.

      Charter factories Schools are the foot in the door for free marketeers. Why respect teachers, hire more staff and better fund schools, create communities, when you can cut costs, treat kids and education itself as products, and send those savings into the pockets of just a few people.

    Yes, tell the administrators to whip those students into shape, that’ll bring them around.

    Certainly won’t have any blowback in the least.

    Schools are taking people’s free speech! Wait, I’m not donating to schools until they do it more! But to those I dislike!

    He’s pulling support from the school that’s cracking down so heavily and violently on the protests? What’s he for I’m having trouble understanding the logic here.

    Kraft echoed the sentiment in a statement issued through an organization he founded called the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism. “I am deeply saddened at the virulent hate that continues to grow on campus and throughout our country,” he wrote. “I am no longer confident that Columbia can protect its students and staff and I am not comfortable supporting the university until corrective action is taken.”

    So beat down the protests harder or you don’t get money? That’s his argument?

    So he’s pulling support from the school, effectively he supports the protesters and staff who walked and not the school who is trying to make them go away. I don’t care about his mouth words, his actions matter more.

      Columbia has a $13.6B endowment, which has consistently grown at 8-10% annually.

      Kraft has historically donated in the $5M range annually. So, less than 1% of what the university earns on a portfolio whose principle never gets touched.
