>> Public universities
> I can only hope you're joking. Our current higher education system functions solely as a rip off to students as it turns them into communists. Watch these videos and maybe you'll wake up and smell the coffee.
> My brother teaches genetics at a college in the Midwest. How does teaching biological sciences turn a student into a communist?
Did you not watch this video?

It's frustrating for me to furnish you with these links and then you don't bother to watch them because they're bringing you a message you don't want to recognize. Liberalism, wokeness and leftist propaganda are invading STEM subjects now. The evidence is overwhelming.
None are so blind as those who will not see.
> I live in a city with two large universities and several smaller universities.
Gee, I wonder if there are any conservatives in that city. Check out the joke of "diversity" at Cornell University:

> The universities produce civil engineers, computer engineers, historians, nurses, doctors, medical researchers, urban affairs specialists, and political scientists. Sometimes I am a guest lecturer at these universities and at other times I listen to and critique student presentations. On Monday, I listened to a defense of a PhD dissertation. In 20+ years of doing this, I've never encountered a professor or a student who was communist.
Do you think there's some law somewhere that says they have to announce it to you? I guess you just haven't been looking in the right places:

> Public libraries
>>Yeah, without taxpayer-subsidized public libraries, where else would "Drag Queen Story > Hour" be able to conduct their performances?
> As a son of a librarian and as someone who worked for a few months in a library and as one who has visited libraries all over the United States (New York, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Salt Lake City, Erie, Scranton, Pittsburgh and Homestead PA) . . .
Blah Blah Blah. I guess we're supposed to be impressed.
> I can only respond that's a silly characterization of libraries.
You might want to casually dismiss it as "silly", but, as the media articles I submitted attest, it is
FACTUAL. Explain to me why taxpayer-subsidized public libraries, on more occasions than I can count, continuously host "Drag Queen Story Hour" presentations where performers, some with criminal records for sexual misconduct, are interacting, sometimes physically, with small children. This oughtta be good. I'll wait.

> Libraries are places to access books, newspapers, magazines (including rail hobby publications), videos, music and historic photos.
And they're also being used to groom and indoctrinate young children. Would you like me to furnish more examples of this abuse?
> The Milwaukee Road archives are located in the Milwaukee Public Library. However you are so obsessed with drag queens and gay and lesbian people, it's apparent that Milwaukee Road archives are of no interest to you.
You don't know my degree of interest in the Milwaukee Road so it baffles me as to why you're even bringing it up. Now the burden is on you to explain why drag shows are taking place in taxpayer supported public libraries. Thus far, you've sidestepped that task.

>> State Parks (Valley of Fire (NV) and Letchworth (NY) state parks are true gems
>> Only until the first fiscal crisis comes along and then their funding is slashed.
> Letchworth State Park has been around for over 100 years. It was a gem all through the years and remains a gem to this day. Government has not screwed it up.
If government operation is so wonderful, why are private companies like Xanterra and Deleware North called on to perform functions? Maybe you can address that in your next response because you ignored it the last time I asked.
> Unless you have a crystal ball regarding New York State's park budget, there is no basis for you predicting a future state budget crisis leading to a slashing of the budget.
I'm using national parks as examples where budgets have been slashed and those of many state parks. You'll have to agree that many states are very familiar with monetary shortfalls and state and national parks are some of the first victims.
> Your replies, particularly the one about libraries, are indicative of someone who does not get out in the real world. Try watching fewer right-wing videos and go to a public library.
You're sidestepping the issue and doing your best to pivot.
Once again, explain to me why drag shows are taking place in front of young children at taxpayer supported public libraries. Perhaps Ron DeSantis and parents have a valid concern.
