Speaking of college republicans…
In 2010 or so our Senator Bennett was coming to my college to talk to students about college affordability. The only people that showed up were myself and the President and VP of the Student Council (both in the Republican group mentioned above). They said that vouchers (and a few other right wing ideas) were great. I then went off for about 20 minutes telling them that would work for rich white kids (me being a white kid with wealthish parents - though I looked like a dirty hippy at that time) and that if they wanted to make college affordable they at to 1) fix the economy at large and 2) use land grant college as they were created - to give free/affordable education to those in their states.

The P and VP of the student council then threatened to kick the group I was volunteering for doing voter registration (COPIRG) because we had a “ideological tint” though I was not there in that facsimile (and COPIRG is non-ideological). They demanded an apology.

… I wrote the letter of apology… the 1st draft was scathing and full of f-bombs… the 2nd draft (the one I sent) was apologetic.

I still liked the first draft more
