#TXLEGE: Right Wingers SQUANDER, yet another, Opportunity on Higher Ed.

"That which has been is what will be,
That which is done is what will be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun."
Ecclesiastes 1:9

[Note: The hearing can be viewed here; our testimony is at the 1:37 mark.]

Guess what, geniuses!!!  There was a U.T Regent confirmation hearing this morning.  Were you there?!?

Just kidding.  We know you weren't there.  Because we were:

More Empty Seats than the Erwin Center

Right-wingers constantly complain about college campuses.  Correctly.  Yet, the one time they can actually do something about it?!?  Nothing.

Bupkus.  Squat.  Zilch.

Go ahead, get mad at the legislature.  These Regents are going to be confirmed.  But the legislature will only try what they think they can get away with.

And, on the subject of higher ed., the legislature knows the right wingers are a bunch of chumps.

A point y'all just proved.  YET AGAIN.

The status quo continues.

Bottom Line: Why work the levers of power to change policy when you can get outraged on social media over alleged "political correctness," amirite?!?
