The announcement that the Pentagon is going to live stream the firing squad execution of Nidal Malik Hasan needs to be understood in the context of the state-sponsored bloodlust for their chief enemies: Muslims and alleged socialists.

The LAPD union is spending millions to defeat a half cent sales tax that would fund firefighters www.latimes.com/california/s...
The Los Angeles Police Department's officer union said Tuesday it will oppose Measure FD, the half-cent sales tax measure on the Nov. 3 ballot pushed by the city firefighters' union - setting up a bitter and expensive clash between two of the city's most powerful unions.
The Police Protective League said it plans to spend several million dollars on broadcast and digital advertising as well as mailers to oppose Measure FD, which if approved by voters would direct hundreds of millions of dollars annually to the Fire Department to build new stations, hire firefighters and upgrade

Anyway, it will be on the faculty and the AAUP and free speech groups to challenge this in court because university boards are captured by partisan politics and university administrators and weak. Presidents: if board won’t let you sue, you must resign in protest. End

This is an assault on the rights of faculty and students, yes, but it is also assault on the university administration. In this case, administrations should be aligned with faculty and student students because their interests are aligned.

Faculty in Alabama AAUP Chapter note that this law set a clear president for further partisan control of academic freedom and what can be taught, studied, and expressed.
Academic Freedom Concerns
Davis-Sramek said she has worries about the law that don't specifically relate to the body of water.
"If they can say, by legislative mandate, 'We're going to force employees to reference Gulf of America,' then what else might they force us to say
—or restrict us from saying—in terms of our teaching and research?" she said. "This, in particular, seems silly on the surface. But I think it begs a bigger question: If they can do this, what else can and might they do?"

Several states have statutes or constitutional provisions that give universities more autonomy than other state agencies. This is the case for Alabama, but the universities have indicated they will comply without legal challenges.
The Alabama Constitution gives the University of Auburn system and University of Alabama system, which includes UAB, greater autonomy than other public higher ed institutions, meaning they might be able legally to refuse to follow the law if they desired to. The Gulf of America Act doesn't say they're exempt. The systems didn't respond to requests for comment this week.

RFK Jr. thinks that getting measles is no big deal, and points to the low death rate to support this asinine opinion. Besides the fact that these deaths are preventable, he ignores hospitalizations and immune amnesia, which can erase immunity to other pathogens that people have already built up.
