    DeVos added, “we hope that with a new administration, we can return to the rich heritage brought to us by Plessy v. Ferguson and believe that HBCU’s will play an important role in that future.”

      This was my take as well:

      A return to the good ole days of separate but equal....

    I most certainly understand why the administration met with Secretary DeVos. It all makes me heave a heavy sigh though.

    People are afraid of what they are going to do to K-12. Dollars to doughnuts, they are going to fuck with higher ed as well.

      Probably the same reason they once met with Lee Atwater.

      (The first time.)

      I mean - I don’t see Missy DeVos thing showing up at Harvard or MIT; they would show her the door with the quickness since the scientists at both those places who are Nobel Laureates have already made their points clear to her boss WRT the existence of, you know, actual facts.

      Didn’t Spike also take us all through this with School Daze?

      Also - in terms of whatever money that is promised (and for whatever is demanded “in exchange”) - I am struck hard by the irony of her approach toward a populace who imo has been hit hard enough with both the individual and collective effects of “Catch You Thursday” to ... really know better.

      (‘Course, this wouldn’t be the first time - individually or collectively - I’ve said something like that and had some blowback, so I’ll be pretty unsurprised if some shows up now ... and, sadly, from somewhere other than Trollville, too. *sigh*)

      Lawd, Omarosa - you’re marrying a Florida preacher; couldn’t you have just started with FSU or something ...?

    Here’s a thought that just popped in my head: What if the WH’s coming support of HBCU is nothing more than the beginning of an attempt at ending forced integregation at schools?

    The allure of money and benefits creates financial relationships that don’t make sense.

    I guess it’s easier to sneak onto a college campus than it is a middle school.

    I bet she handed them that 2nd grade slavery assignment and those fools congratulated her on her spelling and knowledge. What idiots and assholes. They are no different than those black christian preachers who are also up 45's ass.. and Jim Brown, Kanye, Harvey and the others. Idiots all.

    If the SGA President isn’t involved... who were the ‘Student Leaders?’
