Update. The U of Virginia surveyed its community in October on how it should respond to the #Trump compact. The Chronicle of Higher Education got the results through a public-records request.

( #paywalled)

" 'Nope. Nothing. Nada.' 'Not at all.' 'No'. 'NO.' 'NO!'… Those curt replies were broadly representative of the responses as a whole…The F-word is used nine times…There were nearly 200 references to #UVa’s founder, #ThomasJefferson, almost all of which were in service of the argument that the compact went against his vision of the university. 'Stand your ground,' one wrote. 'You know it’s what Thomas Jefferson would have wanted.' "

Does the rest of the UK media care about the bigger picture of #Trump threatening to sue the #BBC ?

It’s got to the point now that the BBC lawyers are so twitchy they won’t even report on their own self censorship.

The star of this year’s Reith Lectures has been edited against his will about Trump’s open corruption…and now BBC journalists are banned from quoting him.

"One hundred and eighty-one public libraries in Tennessee are reviewing their children’s collections after Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett (R) ordered them to remove books with #LGBTQ themes or characters. Hargett suggested that libraries that made such books available to children were violating federal and state law."

@randahl

That doesn't seem odd to me at all. That's a #MAGA #President #Trump doing the crimes that MAGA expects in order to keep MAGA happy. Everything in #America is quite MAGAishly corrupt and the #RepublicanParty just loves them some MAGA corruption.
