“A group of Republican lawmakers introduced a bill on Wednesday which would send “any person convicted of unlawful activity” at a college or university, to do community service in Gaza for six months.”
“Strangely, the bill appears to refer to any “unlawful activity on the campus of an institution of higher education beginning on and after October 7, 2023” but does not specifically mention the ongoing student protests, rendering it stupidly broad.”
"Ogles spoke with Fox News about the bill, saying that, “If you support a terrorist organization, and you participate in unlawful activity on campuses, you should get a taste of your own medicine. I am going to bet that these pro-Hamas supporters wouldn’t last a day, but let’s give them the opportunity.”
Imagine claiming to support freedom while also supporting anything even remotely as ghoulish as this.
Remember, we’re paying them to draft this legislation.

That’s the worst part. This has no chance of passing, this is just bad theater. Bad theater that you and I are funding.
Like a community funded production of Dance of the Vampires.
If I did my job this poorly I would be fired. Two tiers.
