Advisors quit "Free speech college" after a week

[gracchus]

It was a “secret knowledge” scam, also used by fine organisations like the Cult of $cientology. As I noted earlier, it takes a talented grifter to pull that off. Bari Weiss and her clowns can’t even get their basic “free speech” pitch right.

The FAQ portion of the “university’s” webpage is quite interesting - starting off with a commitment to unfettered free speech, no matter how uncomfortable it may be to some people, how there would be no content warnings nor “safe spaces,” followed by a question about CRT and Israel boycotts where they make it clear that both students and faculty would be outright “banned” from even discussing such subjects. Their commitment to “free speech” is so thin you can see their right-wing ideology clearly through it.

All of that has been removed from the FAQ.

Why isn’t University of Texas-Austin not suing fake University of Austin for having a misleading name/copyright infringement?

Perhaps UT Austin is waiting to see if the “University of Austin” amounts to anything.

“secret knowledge” scam

That’s why people are antivax. They think they know the secret medications that the medical establishment doesn’t want you to know about. Never mind that these medications are developed by the same Big Pharma companies that manufacture the vaccines, and the vaccines are actually FDA approved specifically for covid, but whatever. Secret knowledge overrides publicly available fucking obvious knowledge every time.
