re: McAfee.

Big thing in Western Europe is no easy extradition to US because of perceived prison conditions in the US, IMO. A form of virtue signalling, claiming their prisons are humane. For example, Assange extradition trial; Long process, nothing cut and dried, not bending over for US prosecutors, etc.

But, McAfee, he gets extradited. Smells like a Bidan group arm twist going on behind the scenes. Bidan just in Europe. Did he make Spain an offer they couldn't refuse?

Spain, using McAfee's resulting depression as an excuse for McAfee's "death", in order to not sully their humane prison reputation, let's him walk, with a corpse replacement inserted. This does two things, it keeps their reputation intact wrt to prisoner conditions, which would have been damaged if McAfee just "died", and prevents collateral damage from releasing McAfee to US authorities, only to have McAfee be tortured or die under US arrest. Latter is important going forward, I think, because if a highly known prisoner succumbs in US conditions, it will make an EU to US extradition virtually impossible going forward.

If McAfee is now out and in witness protection, he can turn the dials and pull the levers on the deadman switch info to his heart's content. Blaze of glory, payback/bitch on steroids territory.

>Students and faculty have to now declare political beliefs.

Students have never declared political beliefs?

Faculty shouldn't, ethically, anyway. Ideal scenario for faculty is knowing principles of both wings and playing devil's advocate if one wing of students monopolizes discourse. Ideal being the operative word.

You now have a situation where one wing of the political continuum is allowed to be expressed, but the other not. How do you solve that problem without making and enforcing policies that require both wings to be available for discussion?

Again, faculty should be providing this function, but they're not.

Might be because there are too many obstinate educators who won't do anything unless there's a threat to be bit in the ass.

A pissed off parent with fuck you money and a good lawyer, with a law on their side, can fuck up an educator's day. Not to mention, school administrations don't need asshole teachers getting them in trouble.

Speak softly/big stick theorem applies. DeSantis's job is to provide the stick. He shouldn't have to do that in a school situation, but it is what it is.

Old military saw was to make a rule, advertise the hell out of it, then hammer the shit out of the first dumb fuck who decides to ignore it. One educator getting a high profile proctal from a high-priced, scalpel wielding lawyer will end the problem.
