The master's degree that universities lack
Israel and the United States have named the only organization authorized to distribute food in Gaza the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. George Orwell would be very proud of the name they've given it, because, considering that if your children are starving and you approach the Foundation's trucks looking for food, you'll be killed by bullets or bombs from the very people who created the Foundation, calling it "humanitarian" responds to the same criteria by which the British author wrote a novel, Love and Plenty, charged with propaganda, torture, and misery.
Now that President Trump is so preoccupied with dictating what American universities can and cannot do, I think it's about time he forced political science faculties to include a master's degree in their curricula. It would be a master's degree that would teach cynicism. And there would be many options, because modern governance demands state servants who are not impressed by images of children crying for the mother who went to get them food and who has returned dead. In fact, if a Trump son has financed doping sports games Under the name "Enhanced Games," it should be a matter of time before, between rounds of golf, Trump picks up the thick marker and, smiling, signs the order for the creation of the Master of Audacity, or the Studies of Nobility, which is what Newspeak might call cynicism. I'm sure they'll find a way to say it, because they're very good at naming names that disguise atrocities.
