A reminder that fascism is on the march at the state level too. At Ohio colleges RAs can't put up any decorations that aren't related to the state-level jingoism of sports boosterism because all pop culture is woke. www.dispatch.com/story/news/e...

Ohio State University resident halls advisers will have fewer options when it comes to decorating their dormitory's communal spaces this year, in part because of Ohio Senate Bill 1, the sweeping new higher education law. In years past, resident advisers — students who supervise others living in their same residence hall — have decorated the halls and common spaces of their dorms with creative themes, often inspired by pop culture from

My great-great grandfather was in the Ohio 79th infantry regiment. Should do a memorial to him with a big mural of the burning of Atlanta.

The enforcement part is what's complicated. I assume at a school that large that there are probably scores of dorms and therefore hundreds of floors/RAs. If they all violate the rules, are they going to task the employees of the school with going around to remove the violations? Which employees?

Yeah, there are tons of dorms. But at a school that big there are also tons of young conservatives and state political actors and their lackeys are all five minutes from campus. Ohio State has moved sharply into lockstep with Trumpism, so if they find even one it'll get heavy coverage.
