Any goat here have a good legal understanding of government officials using public resources to promote or condemn political events?
Been going to a public college for a many semesters now, and on multiple occasions of major political events, the district heads have found it necessary to use the official email system to disseminate their condemnation of these events. This has been done in a vague subtle way, such as when the president was elected, they simple stated not everyone agrees with the results of the fair election, but they are dedicated to serving the “undocumented students”. It has also been completely overt such as this exert,
“The recent Presidential executive order impacting and restricting immigrant and refugee communities… stands in opposition to [College's] mission to serve a 'diverse student body'. ...Additional resources can be found at RESOURCES FOR POST-ELECTION CONCERNS. While this information is not exhaustive, it will be updated as needed.
As a community, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering a sense of inclusion for ALL of our students, employees, and community members.”
Is there any legal standing to stop this shit, or is this BS just vague enough to slip on by with out issue? I understand that public figures have the right to their opinion, and it's legal for them to espouse openly their beliefs, but using public resources to do so is where it crosses some kind of line, I hope. I wouldn't expect an official letter from the DMV explaining how their leadership condemns a specific politician.

Henretta 8th edition your class book? Just wait till the History of America 1875-preasnt class; where black cowboys were just as integral and common as white cowboys; everything socialist is good, important, and our inevitable future; Oh and all are wealth and prosperity was not because of capitalism, but because of how democrats regulated capitalism to be more socialist.

If if college engages in lawless behavior (such as shielding illegals from due deportation) they can be arrested.
