“There’s no conspiracy or basis in what you say… But we’re going to threaten, punish you for even in insinuating that there is a (((conspiracy))) going on.”

Degrees have no value...

Extremely cruel monsters

They need to own their Poor Judgement.

This is a perfect example of what free speech is in America. Just because you can say it doesn't mean you are protected from the consequences of what you say.

If the west is abandoning you, the east is open!

I'm sure Ye is just devistated to learn this...how will he survive without that degree? CBS = Constant Bull Shit news

Desperate can kill a person😂I guess we have certified punishers now🥵

Good

That’s just not how that works, this country is going down a slippery slope of this. The man said something he shouldn’t have said. We all know it. This whole thing of cancelling and removing him is ridiculous and sets a dangerous precedent for the future of this country.

Who cares what any educational institute says in Chicago!!!

This guy tired

Ye to Nay

Didn’t Ilhan Omar spew anti jew speech?
