The president told children Iranians are “sick” and “lunatics” who are a threat to their lives. This is the same type of propaganda the Islamic Republic of Iran uses to turn Iranians against the US. So Tr*mp is doing exactly the same thing as the people he supposedly despises.

Stanford has decided to terminate a teacher education program for Black, Indigenous, and people of color after the government accused the program of being discriminatory. The university unfortunately has caved to pressure from the government’s efforts to resegregate society. Shameful.
