A new bill proposed in the Minnesota Legislature would make anyone convicted of a crime at a protest ineligible for student loans and many other forms of state financial aid.
The bill, authored by Sen. David Osmek (R- Mound), states that A person convicted of a criminal offense related to the persons illegal conduct at a protest, demonstration, rally, civil unrest, or march is ineligible for any type of state loan, grant, or assistance, including but not limited to college student loans and grants
Other forms of state financial aid, including food stamps, rent assistance and unemployment benefits, are also in the bill.
Some University of Minnesota students are currently awaiting their court date after being arrested for protesting on highway I-94 last November.

These republican idiots never think about the blowback of their own overreach.

Perhaps it should be a federal law applicable to the entire country
