St. Cloud State student challenges student fees dedicated for left-wing advocacy

Praise the Lord and pass the constitutional ammunition. The Liberty Justice Center filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of Tayah Lackie. Thanks to the judge's ruling, the lawsuit will go forward. According to Alpha News's reporting, the next step is discovery. According to Alpha's reporting, the "U.S. District Court for Minnesota ruled that Students United, an organization funded by student fees at Minnesota State universities, can face accountability for allegedly violating students’ First Amendment rights."

According to Alpha News's reporting, "Students United claims to represent all 65,000 students in the Minnesota State University system and is funded in part through fees collected from every student as a condition of enrollment." Obviously, that isn't the truth. Further, MNSCU (sorry not sorry -- old habits die hard) doesn't have the constitutional authority to speak for every student attending their universities. Each student owns the right to speak for themselves. Anything that gets in the way of that isn't enforceable.

The group has openly supported left-wing causes like Black Lives Matter, "land acknowledgement" practices, and "training" on "resisting bias."

"All institutions and the system must evaluate their contracts, partnerships, and investments, divest from those enabling harm and violence, and actively invest into our communities. This must include city and county police contracts and partnerships," the organization said in a June 2020 letter.

The group also advised students not to answer questions from immigration agents and to avoid opening their doors unless agents present a warrant.

After watching this video, it isn't a stretch to think that this organization is its own best argument against this organization:

This video is symbolic of today's Democrat Party's difficulties. These people aren't the brightest bulbs in the proverbial chandelier. Further, if talent was electricity, Studdent United couldn't light a 10-watt lightbulb. Finally, these kids' message is an argument for limited government conservatism. Buying down tuition with fees and taxes doesn't make the cost of a college education cheaper. It just hides the cost of tuition, overbloated administrations (and central offices) and crony hiring.

If you want to make college educations cheaper, you have to find ways to lower costs. That's entirely different than lowering prices. Lowering costs requires schools to make tuition, books, and room and board cheaper. If you artificially lower tutition but raise taxes to buy off tuition, you've just hidden the cost of tuition. You've lowered the price but you didn't lower the cost.

Bill Clinton would teach Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden and Zohran Mamdani a thing or 2. Clinton preached the gospel that there's no such thing as a free lunch.
