DAMN LUCKY INDEED:
They are damn lucky that some unanticipated oddball geniuses like Vint Cerf, Bradord Parkinson and Elon Musk fortuitously came up with ideas that saved our bacon which they can now declare "human rights".

But not in the least bit grateful.
PHIL HAMBURGER: What Trump Meant by ‘Illegal Protests:’ ‘NO MASKS!’ is a reference to the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871.
When President Trump tweeted on March 4 that “all federal funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests,” he puzzled many academics. Most protests are lawful and constitutionally protected. Even more bewildering, he emphasized “NO MASKS!” Since then, Education Secretary Linda McMahon has begun cutting off some funds. Is this mere bullying, or is it a response to a real legal problem?
After the Civil War, members of the Ku Klux Klan relied on masks to protect their identities when they threatened, assaulted and murdered recently emancipated slaves. The masks liberated Klansmen from any inhibitions and protected them from identification by witnesses to their crimes.
Congress responded by enacting laws against masking, including the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871. One of its provisions is now Section 1985 of Title 42 of the U.S. Code. It provides for damages when two or more persons “conspire or go in disguise on the highway or on the premises of another, for the purpose of depriving, either directly or indirectly, any person or class of persons of the equal protection of the laws.” This statute recognizes masking as an equal-protection problem.
The masking question is linked to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bars discrimination on the basis of race and, by extension, national origin in federally funded programs. Like Klansmen, masked students shield themselves from accountability for disruption and violence. A university, not knowing their identities, can’t take disciplinary actions against them, including disciplinary actions required by Title VI. Thus, when a university takes a permissive approach to masking, it facilitates the masked wrongdoers, and it deprives their targets—in this case, mostly Jewish students and faculty—of the equal protection of the laws, including Title VI.
Under the First Amendment, Title VI shouldn’t be understood to require the suppression of open debate. But civil-rights laws have long limited masking to preserve equal protection, and on that ground alone, the government has reason to think itself justified in cutting off its largess.
The “smart, educated” people calling Trump Hitler over this don’t seem to know this elementary stuff.
Plus: “The larger point is that universities need to take civil-rights laws seriously. Schools that permit obstructive, bullying, and sometimes violent antisemites to hide their identities are depriving Jews of equal protection in violation of the Ku Klux Klan Act and Title VI.”
Schools that are happy to micromanage students’ love lives over Title IX should be willing to stop masked violent mobs under Title VI.
YEAH, BUT WHAT DOES HE CARE: California chancellor resisting Trump executive order wastes taxpayers’ money: Administrators now have a choice. They can ignore federal law and drag their institutions into turmoil—or they can cut their losses, end discriminatory policies, and serve students fairly. I predict they will choose . . . . poorly.

In Europe the people who bar political candidates and argue for banning political parties are the ones that claim they are “protecting democracy”.
