1. As editor, I'm going to point out that IHL wanted us to change an earlier accurate story by @ashtonpittman to gloss over this conflict between its motion and what they later said. I said NO WAY without knowing if they actually passed what they were saying they did. They hadn't

2. After IHL reached out, @AshtonPittman started pressing for minutes and evidence of what the motion they passed said, versus what they and colleges were saying it said.

Now, we learn that they revoted today to change motion to forbid mandates. Too bad, but at least it's clear

3. And seriously, IHL, don't come at us wanting corrections when it's your own confusion or subterfuge or whatever that is the problem. We can read and reason.

4. Also: on the topic of unclear language and a motion and public statements that do not match or make sense as a box set, I must point out that THESE ARE PEOPLE MAKING DECISIONS FOR ALL PUBLIC HIGHER ED INSTITUTIONS IN MISSISSIPPI.

5. Also remember that on Tuesday, @ashtonpittman broke the news in the state and nationally that Mississippi had passed New Jersey in the number of per capita Covid deaths:

6. Is this an OK time to point out that IHL forced a chancellor on the University of Mississippi students and faculty amid protests who had been a headmaster or other leader at multiple segregation academies in Mississippi?
