Cuz a bunch of kids in fringe chanting “scalp ‘em Indians, scalp ‘em” is honor, right? And any Natives who attend @pngisd should prolly just accept their classmates dehumanizing them cuz “tradition”, right? Shame on @DisneyParks hosting this. Nostalgic racism is RACISM.

Here is what seems very strange to me. In his letter to faculty, the chair of the @FIU Board of Trustees Dean Colson never thanked Rosenberg for his years of service nor did he offer any thoughts and prayers for Rosenberg and his family which you would expect. @CBSMiami 1/x

BREAKING: An emergency meeting for the FIU board of trustees is being called for 4 pm where @FIU President Mark Rosenberg is expected to announce his immediate resignation, according to sources. This move comes as a surprise. No reason for why Rosenberg is out. @CBSMiami
