Anecdote from my time at Penn State:
I took a class called 'Banned Books,' which was supposed to be a relatively anti-censorship class. Our first assignment was to read 'Brave New World' and 'Fahrenheit 451,' both classics with strong messages. We were tasked with writing a paper on what we gained from them, and with it being an 'anti-censorship' course I felt it appropriate to argue that freedom to earn their own way and make their own decisions is what makes people happy, which is objectively a theme in each book. I was given a 70% on my paper and told in the notes that "I should have also considered that freedom does not come without consequences, for example people who go around unmasked and unvaccinated are killing and harming the people around them" ( my paper did not mention or hint at covid once). At this point I had a 70% in the class (C-). I then said, okay from here on out on each paper I write, I am just going to take the absolute most socialist point of view possible, as far left as I can go. After doing so, by the end of the semester I had a 111% and the professor told me "I wish I could give you an A+, but unfortunately we cap at 100%, and I want to commend you on keeping such as open mind."
This is only one class and one professor, but in my experience, it is a microcosm for the average United States University right now. Students with views that are on the right or even sometimes relatively in the middle are often forced to self censor for grades.

Mark Cuban, a really dumb guy, who thinks he’s “hot stuff” but he’s absolutely nothing, is now out there saying that I don’t surround myself with strong women. Actually, he is very wrong, I surround myself with the strongest of women - With the understanding that ALL women are great, whether strong or not strong. This guy is such a fool, he’s constantly on Television being critical, and only for the reason that I tuned him out completely while President because he called incessantly. I told him, very pointedly, “Look Mark, I’ve got a lot of things to do, I just can’t be taking so many pointless calls from you.” In any event, that affected him greatly, because he’s a very insecure guy, and a MAJOR LOSER, always has been and always will be! Nobody likes him, nobody respects him, and he’s unattractive both inside and out! He should go back to talk about the person he was forced to support, because I didn’t want it, Lyin’ Kamala Harris. Also, he’s got no clubhead speed!
I may, in fact, be surrounded by the strongest women in the World, including Heads of Countries, who make Mark look like a “baby!” All strong women, and women in general, should be very angry about this weak man’s statement.
Paul Finebaum blasts Jim Harbaugh for calling Michigan America's team😳
“I found it sad and pathetic. Why? Because this isn’t America’s team. This isn’t what America’s about.
Here we are, just days removed from Veteran’s Day where we honor people who are really representative of America. This team is not representative of anything other than a program accused of cheating. Cheating!
Trying to steal signs to gain an unfair advantage. That’s not the way this country was built and that’s not what should be described as America’s team.”

Concert tickets are hard enough to get, you shouldn’t have to pay surprise service fees on top of that.
My Administration is working to crack down on those junk fees, so you know what you are paying for up front.
Biden Introduces Rule to PUNISH Home Buyers With Good Credit
"If you have a FICO score of 620, you get a 1.75% discount on your mortgage fees. If you have a 740 score ... you have to pay 1% MORE," reported @TuckerCarlson.
"And in real life, that means that over the course of a 30-year mortgage for a $400,000 home, that's a swing of more than $14,000."
This incredibly brave American stood up against tyranny and lies and Government bullying right on his DOORSTEP! What a courageous example to ALL OF US!
And OF COURSE HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!!
Watch! (And take notes!)

In Britain, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, they don't have university mandates for the COVID-19 vaccine.
Then why do American universities, like Johns Hopkins, stick their heads in the sand and require three vaccines?
