OMG SOME OF THE GIRL STUDENTS ARE WEARING A BLACK SCARF AND THEY ARE BEING TOLD TO TAKE IT OFF!

This coordinator is saying - any other color is allowed. But they have specifically said you can’t wear black.
Now after a long discussion (and a few phone calls), they’ve figured a way out.

Anything black as part of the school uniform is acceptable (like a dupatta).

Black headscarves are not (no hijab basically).

These kids are from Kerala btw.
One of the kids who has been told to go back upstairs and change her black headscarf.

Totally not making this shit up. You can’t make this shit up.

So I’m sitting at the reception of my hotel after a morning jog.

A guy suddenly comes walking in looking for the kids who are “staying here for Modi ji’s Pariksha Pe Charcha”.

Apparently there’s delegations of kids led by coordinators put up at hotels across New Delhi.

(1/2)
There’s going to be a “rehearsal” now at 7am. Then the kids will be taken to the venue to pretend to ask questions to Modi.

This man won’t even spare kids when it comes to furthering his personal PR & propaganda.

(2/2)
Oh and all of these expenses are paid by the Govt. of India.

The bookings are in the name of HRD Ministry. The guy here is a representative of Kendriya Vidyala.

And then - this same govt runs hate campaigns about subsidies to JNU.

Dear Dr. @ShashiTharoor:

La ilaha illallah ❤️

And I’ll say it EVERY TIME someone tells Muslims not to assert their identity.

#CAAProtest
Pls don’t airbrush Muslims out of a protest against an Act which seeks to directly target & disenfranchise them.

Pls don’t ask Muslims to “not assert their identity” when the State machinery is controlled & run by those who promote the ideology & agenda of Hindutva.
PS: The above tweet is meant for EVERYONE trying hard to appropriate this protest & become a “leader”.

Nope you can’t - don’t make this about you. Either stand with Indian Muslims unconditionally or find your own cause to become a “leader” for.

There’s many.

Over the last few hours, a couple of us have conclusively identified 7 of the masterminds of tonight’s JNU attack with their detailed names & descriptions.

Did your job @DelhiPolice since u won’t.

Will take this to a Judicial Magistrate if needed. The truth must come out.
Putting together all evidence available. Merely arresting the perpetrators won’t be enough.

This ENTIRE conspiracy must have a court-monitored investigation right up to whoever was directly & indirectly involved.

Appeal: PLS DON’T GO TO THE SUPREME COURT ANYONE!
To clarify: Lower courts have the authority to order a probe & conclusively see this to a logical conclusion.

Going directly to the Supreme Court will be hasty (and will sabotage everything if petition is rejected).

Therefore, please don’t do that.

Well, looks like Twitter also has gone crazy on this thread. Am splitting the thread now for convenience.
Old one.
And the last tweet.
Confused with such a high demand for teachers in KP, the govt ordered a verification drive only to find that ghost schools and students are almost 30% of the total enrolments. It is not surprising that majority of these came from areas with very high support to Pakistan.

Lets talk about student loans and why I think we should work out a forgiveness plan. I'll add a disclaimer that the solution will likely be complicated and not as simple as "just cancel it" but that we need to figure it out. /1
All my life I was told that school was an obligation. If I did NOT go to college I would be a failure or flipping burgers, as if you can't take pride in flipping burgers.

Well I didnt go but all my friends did, they were told my their elders and they believed it. /2
The problem was that our elders were wrong and many people felt that they had no choice but to take on debt

I definitely know people who were irresponsible with their loan money but these are young adults, practically kids, being told to take on masive debt "or else" /3

When Rebecca Lopez was 14, she was taken from her bedroom one night by two strangers and delivered to a remote Christian boarding school in California. Her mother knew – it was an attempt to “fix” her sexuality – and it was all legal. buzzfeednews.com/article/tylerk…
Though California was the first state to ban conversion therapy by medical professionals for minors, there's nothing in the law that stops private boarding schools like River View Christian Academy from trying to "scare the gay away.”
Multiple students who attended River View, formerly the Julian Youth Academy, told BuzzFeed News that they were punished for saying they were gay or bisexual, and also for engaging in sexual activity or self-harm.
