ANALYSIS: TRUE: Higher ed accreditors have become ‘political weapon’ of the left: Trump official.

WELL, THERE’S NO WELL-OILED MEDIA/NONPROFIT/GOVERNMENTAL MACHINE OPERATING ON BEHALF OF WHITE GUYS:

When Gorge Floyd died in police custody a decent percentage of black America protested and rioted, it caused an entire cultural revolution
