On this episode of the ant we speak about growing authoritarianism on FL campuses through the protest of ICE’s 287g at Florida Atlantic University (FAU). Attending their recent school walk out I was able to speak with some passionate students and teachers about what they are thinking. We discuss many topics including policing, immigration, business ties of the University, etc. There’s a lot to learn and a lot to do. If you agree then call into the show. Send an email to [email protected] and we can set it up.
