In 1968, Richard Nixon campaigned on behalf of the “silent majority,” and for a time it put his enemies on the defensive. Likewise, I think there is an equivalent “silent majority” on college campuses who disagree or have contempt for the politically correct mob. But just as mobs are hard to oppose when they reach critical mass, there aren’t many ways of bringing effective opposition to the PC mob—especially when college administrators are so primed to cave in. Most students studying real subjects have better things to do with their time than organize against the mob, and the risk-reward ratio of standing up to the predictable charges of racism and bigotry make that extra hour of lab work look attractive by comparison.

EBT cards. Duh.

That took 15 minutes. OK, Hero - now what do you feed on for the next 29 days, 23 hrs, and 45 minutes? My only hope is they will die off from diabetes - but that just sucks services from our health care. An endless and vicious circle.
