Defending schools is a growing challenge for rattled educators in cities where heavily armed men in tactical vests are snatching people from the arms of loved ones and from the streets that lead to school.

Democracy In Peril on University Campuses
Some aspects of life are so well known that they are accepted as a given. One of those commonly accepted facts of life is corporate leadership. Corporate leaders instruct their teams of managers to create a specific atmosphere at ...https://murica.website/2025/12/democracy-in-peril-on-university-campuses/
Corporations are the true rulers of the "United States." Every action of the state is ultimately taken for their benefit, often orchestrated by them indirectly.
As long as our anger is directed at the government, we are merely blaming the middle management. The true owners of the system escape scrutiny.
"This is the first detailed reporting on how a U.S. university used the AI technology to surveil its own students. It’s just one example of how public universities worked with private partners to surveil student protests, revealing how corporate involvement in higher education can be leveraged against students’ free expression."

Counterterrorism Fusion Centers were ostensibly created to fight "terrorism," but were promptly turned against the populace. This reveals a central purpose of the so-called War on Terror: the social control of the people.

Students and faculty at over 100 US universities protest Trump’s higher education agenda - The Times of India
"Weaponized allegations of antisemitism driven by pro-Israel groups have been central to attacks on #campusSpeech—including the Trump administration’s brazen war on #higherEducation—over the past two years, according to a new report jointly published today by the American Association of University Professors and the Middle East Studies Association."

"When two young men entered his small print shop in Rabat on October 4 with a 40 dirham (about $4) work order, Ayoub didn’t imagine that the simple job would land him in prison. Barely an hour later, the 34-year-old biology graduate had just finished printing several football shirts with the requested designs featuring the logo of the “Gen Z 212” movement—a reference to Morocco’s international dialing code—and the words “Free Palestine,” when two police officers walked in.
Within 48 hours, Ayoub was behind bars in Arjat Prison, charged with “participating in incitement to commit crimes”—an offense carrying up to five years imprisonment. Over a month later, he remains in prison. Ayoub’s case is emblematic of an unprecedented government crackdown that has swept Morocco since late September, when youth-led, anti-corruption protests demanding improvements in healthcare and education erupted nationwide.
The mass demonstrations that ignited in more than a dozen cities across Morocco in late September have decried the government’s underfunding of schools and hospitals amid plans to spend more than $5 billion on stadiums and infrastructure as the country gears up to co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup. The protests against government spending priorities have used the gaming chat app Discord and other online platforms to call for mass mobilizations. Police have responded with tear gas, batons, and mass arrests."

Norman Finkelstein highlights a crucial legal victory: The U.S. Supreme Court protects the right to advocate government overthrow and burn the flag.
So what about students chanting "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free"?

You cannot teach generations of pupils and students on the #holocaust and why #genocides are a bad thing and then expect them to remain silent once a #genocide is happening. They feel lied to, and rightfully so.
Gaza and Protest
Why freedom of speech matters
Timothy #Snyder Oct 13, 2025
Today the president is taking credit for a cease-fire in #Gaza. But who, in #America, was first in calling for that exact thing?
Students on campuses.
...
So for those who support the president, a challenge: thank the #students and give them back their #freedom to express themselves.
