These demands include:
✔️'A' grade for everyone
✔️refund "for the loss of instructional time due to the strike"
✔️resignations of the school’s president, provost, vice president
✔️tuition freeze from 2023 to 2028
✔️university president’s house "to be treated as a communal property"
There are approximately 10,000 students at New School, tuition is $26,854 per semester.
According to The New School’s "about" page, the university is committed to "developing students who will have an impact on the world and address the most pressing social issues of our time."
So are those whining kids supposed to be our future?

Supporter of police defunding has spent more than half a million dollars for her own private security
Rep. Cori Bush, one of the most outspoken federal politicians for defunding police, has now topped more than $500,000 in private security detail expenses.
And as Bush's campaign continues to dish large amounts into the security detail, she has remained one of the most vocal federal politicians pushing to defund police, which she has dug into several times.
Bush said she would ensure she has security because she has had attempts on her life and has "too much work to do."
"So suck it up, and defunding the police has to happen," Cori Bush said.

Transgender student is charged for alleged violent assault of two girls in a school bathroom
A transgender high school student has been charged after allegedly assaulting two female students in the girls bathroom at an Oklahoma high school, leaving them with injuries.
The trans-identifying student, a biological male, reportedly hit the first girl in the face and forced her to the ground, then punched the second girl who was trying to help twice.
The parent of trans-student reportedly blamed the female victim, saying she had 'made fun' of her child for being transgender.
🔸Oklahoma passed a law earlier this year requiring students to use the bathroom that matches their biological sex, so it is unclear why the trans-identifying student was in the girls’ bathroom in the first place.
Woke schools are not safe for children.

Netflix is giving advertisers their money back after missing viewership targets
Netflix is, reportedly, allowing advertisers to take their money back for ads that have yet to run. The specific shortfall amounts vary but in some cases, Netflix has only delivered roughly 80 percent of the expected audience.
The viewership shortfall indicates slower-than-expected consumer adoption of Netflix’s ad-supported plan, which costs $6.99 a month and features commercials.
In the first half of 2022 Netflix has already lost more than 1 million subscribers.

A group called "Stop having kids" is putting up signs urging people not to have children
So apparently there is a movement against reproduction - antinatalism. It seems to be a more intrusive version of the childfree movement.
"Antinatalism is a philosophical and ethical stance against human reproduction, rooted in harm reduction and rational consideration for future life" - their website states.
"Antinatalists consider intentional human reproduction (besides exceptions related to force) an irreversible, unnecessary, indefensible, and enduring form of harm, regardless of circumstances, situations, or consciousness in living."
The main statements of the movement include:
🔹Pro-choice, but not creating new humans is the Superior choice
🔹Parenthood regret is a real and silent epidemic
🔹Vasectomies do not make you lose your manhood, they make you a better man
Someone is waging a war against humanity.

❗️TWITTER FILES: PART 7❗️
The new 'Twitter files' show how FBI was gradually pushing the foreign interference fears on Twitter's executives and convinced them that the Hunter Biden laptop story was the work of Russian hackers.
The main takes from the files:
▪️As of 2020, there were many former FBI employees - "Bu alumni" - working at Twitter, including Jim Baker, who previously served as the FBI's general counsel and Dawn Burton, former dep. chief of staff to FBI head James Comey
▪️In 2020 FBI was already putting efforts into getting Twitter to share data outside of the normal search warrant process, but at first Roth resisted
▪️In July 2020, the FBI’s Elvis Chan arranged for temporary Top Secret security clearances for Twitter executives so that the FBI could share information about threats to the upcoming elections
▪️In August 2020 the FBI's Chan shared information with Roth relating to the Russian hacking organization APT28
▪️In September 2020, Roth participated in an Aspen Institute 'tabletop exercise' on a potential 'Hack-and-Dump' operation relating to Hunter Biden
▪️On October 14, shortly after NYP published its Hunter Biden laptop story, Roth wrote:
"It isn’t clearly violative of our Hacked Materials Policy, nor is it clearly in violation of anything else. But this feels a lot like a somewhat subtle leak operation."
▪️However, after some persuasion from Jim Baker as emails indicate Twitter executives had bought into a wild hack-and-dump story and proceeded to block the related material

Two pro-life activists have been accused of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act
Pro-life activists Edmee Chavannes and Bevelyn Williams are charged for protesting in front of the abortion clinics and blocking access to clinics in multiple states over the years. The sentence for violating FACE Act is up to 5 years in prison.
However, when it comes to 'pro-choice' activists, Department of Justice is not so fast to press charges.
Not a single arrest has been made in the more than a dozen attacks on pro-life organizations across the country claimed by left-wing pro-abortion group Jane’s Revenge.
Jane’s Revenge has claimed responsibility for at least 18 arson and vandalism attacks on crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) and other faith-based organizations throughout the U.S. since the May 2 leak of the Supreme Court draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade.
