GJ Socialists Mean Business
In the weeks leading up to Jared Taylor’s speaking event, CMU students, on their own initiative, joined the Western Culture Club (the club that invited Taylor) and attempted to hold an election to appoint new officers and change the direction of the club to be more positive and uplifting. In response, John Marshall sent two of his top ranking Administrative thugs, Jody Diers and Trey Downey, to illegally prevent the students from exercising their rights.

To plaster these words on its walls while allowing white supremacy within them is not just hypocrisy, it is something far worse.”

Now the war and destruction has expanded to Lebanon with a fragile ceasefire looming, following the same blueprint as Gaza breaking all the rules of warfare with little concern for innocent civilians.
