The GOP’s war on racially diverse college campuses was never going to be confined to the party’s war on affirmative action.

In fact, Republican efforts to ban diversity, equity and inclusion programs on college campuses, curb free speech around progressive causes and restrict classroom discussions on social inequality all limit higher education from becoming more amenable to students — particularly nonwhite students.

Now it appears Republicans are setting their sights on another tool used to foster campus diversity: minority scholarship programs.

On Thursday, the Republican speaker of the Wisconsin State Assembly suggested he’ll move to ban grants designated for minority undergraduate students. The speaker, Robin Vos, responded to a tweet claiming a minority scholarship program designated for students who are Black, Indigenous, Hispanic or of Laotian, Vietnamese or Cambodian descent amounted to “discrimination.”

5. So first they make sure every pregnancy results in a baby

But then they also make sure that the minority babies will never get a chance in life. Only the white babies can grow up with the hope of advancement. Seems awfully familiar....

12. Don't forget that this is equally a class war -- plenty of white people staggering under debt & ...

The GOP m’fers are at war with anyone not uber-wealthy.
