Given the mangotude of hundreds of students being told they need to leave, the government should indeed be making very strong very bold cases.
But allegedly folks are being told to get out for resharing a post or two. Maybe more evidence could come to light! I think the government has a strong mandate to make a very strong case.
But I am highly highly dubious more than a couple of these folks are doing anything even marginally bad (in fact many i think are doing great good speaking civilly & responsibly about very bad unnecessary human suffering being caused, which is patriotic as hell imo).
This is the administration blowing up the 1st amendment, having themselves a little tantrum. Rather than say anything real, Rubio's likening the situation to trashing the couch and spray painting the kitchen is an invented offense to mask how utterly inadequate & woefully juvenile this administration is behaving, how they have nothing whatsoever to justify this political violence they are casually inflicting.
Also notable that many of these universities rely on having international students to foot the bill for American students. Ruining this funding stream further's a strong desire the right has to end universities and college, which is incredibly low & cruel terrible for everyone except the incredibly wealthy. https://www.vox.com/politics/2024/2/1/24056238/conservatives-culture-war-colleges-universities https://www.vox.com/politics/2024/2/1/24056238/conservatives...
