White House fires back after left-wing professor said Trump wants to re-segregate schools
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Professors who appeared in a video on the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) YouTube page earlier this month discussed scheming against ICE operations, while one speculated that President Donald Trump plans to re-segregate schools.
Caroline Luce is a professor of social sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) who appeared on the Nov. 6 episode titled “ICE AND HIGHER ED: DEFENDING OUR COMMUNITIES.”
The Trump administration has demanded $1 billion from the school to settle claims of rampant antisemitism, along with the demand that UCLA establishes a $172 million claims fund for alleged victims of violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

In exchange, the Trump administration would release $584 million in taxpayer-funded federal grants back to the school.
“Conceding to these demands would be sacrificing the sanctity of higher education as we know it in this country,” Luce, who twice referred to Trump as the “orange man,” said. “But among the demands are information-sharing demands, and that includes in regards to visa holders, which is to say international students who are here on student visas.”

“It would demand access to students — undergraduate students — under the guise of trying to stomp out DEI, which we know is just a veiled excuse to re-segregate our universities, and that’s been borne out,” she said.
Asked how that claim has been “borne out,” Luce did not return a request for comment.

“During the Biden years, radical left-wing activists at universities separated and pit students against each other on the basis of race all in the name of DEI. President Trump put a stop to those divisive and un-American DEI programs to recenter the focus of education on merit,” a White House spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “Under President Trump’s bold leadership, promoting academic excellence is the number one objective once again in American education.”
UW–MADISON DEAN CALLED TRUMP RACIST, CLAIMED EDUCATION SYSTEM, MATH IS ‘INHERENTLY VIOLENT’ TO BLACK STUDENTS
The conversation was hosted by New York University (NYU) professor Chenjerai Kumanyika, an AAUP National Council member. Kumanyika referred to Trump’s UCLA demands as “extortion.”
The panel also featured Aaron Krall, an English lecturer at the University of Illinois Chicago. He is the president of UIC Faculty United, another union on campus.
He said his union is actively working with community organizations on “rapid response” to ICE operations, and giddily informed Luce and Kumanyika that in Chicago, “everybody’s got a whistle now.”

Anti-ICE activists have taken to blowing whistles when agents are conducting operations, signaling community members and other activists to mob and film the agents as they work, causing havoc.
“But this is a way to make people feel comfortable going out into the streets and pushing back, saying that we disapprove, yelling at the fascists, getting in their faces,” Krall said. “It’s been amazing.”
He told Kumanyika he “didn’t want to go into the rapid response training too much,” with a coy smile.

“I get it,” Kumanyika replied with a chuckle. “Like, there’s only so granular we’re going to get about the nature of the planning.”
Referring to ICE arrests, Krall also claimed that the law enforcement entity had “abducted” people from Chicago.
Krall, Kumanyika, UCLA and the AAUP did not respond to requests for comment.

San Francisco social worker killed on job described by coworker as
The San Francisco General Hospital community came together Sunday night to hold a vigil for a coworker killed on the job.
Alberto Rangel, 51, died Saturday after he was allegedly stabbed by a patient on Thursday afternoon.
“Alberto was there to help and he was failed,” said his coworker Maddy Abule.
Abule worked with Rangel for over two years. He was a social worker and she helped patients with insurance eligibility, but outside of the long-term HIV clinic, they were also friends.
“He was just such a passionate, wonderful person and had so much life to live,” Abule stated.
She went on to explain that he loved fashion, art, and had a great sense of humor. He also loved his job. She says he went above and beyond, even running a support group for those living with HIV and AIDS.
“There are people who are alive today because of him,” Abule said. “For him to lose his life at work when he was there to provide services to patients, it’s not right. It’s not right. It’s a disservice and betrayal.”
Auble was just feet away when Rangel was allegedly stabbed Thursday afternoon. She heard screaming from outside her office.
“I opened my door and Alberto was on the floor,” Abule recalled.
The San Francisco Sheriff’s Office arrested 34-year-old Wilfredo Tortolero-Arriechi for the stabbing. The San Francisco Police Department’s homicide detail will now investigate Rangel’s death
Tortolero-Arriechi was still there when Auble walked out. She recognized him as a patient they had seen many times.
“I saw Wilfredo,” Abule said. “I looked him in the eye. He saw me, too. He probably recognized me. I recognized him. And he just stood there and looked at everything and looked at what he had on and then put his shirt over his head. Perhaps to hide his identity, and then voluntarily put his hands behind his back.”
She says during this time, her coworkers were trying to help keep Rangel alive, telling him they loved him and to stay with them. Despite their efforts, on Saturday, he passed away from his injuries.
UPTE union representative Chey Dean stated they are going to make sure the hospital re-evaluates their safety measures.
“What I know is social workers have been raising the alarm about safety issues for years, to have been met with pretty much radio silence,” said Dean. “What I know is our colleague, and our friend, and our loved one deserves more than our grief, they deserve change and I know that we will not stop until we get that.”
The Department of Public Health said in a statement that they will be making improvements.
“Keeping our staff, patients, and community safe is our highest priority,” said the San Francisco Department of Public Health. “DPH and the hospital have already taken steps like adding more security, limiting access points, and speeding up the installation of weapons detection systems. We are also conducting a full investigation and are committed to making both immediate and long-term safety improvements at all our facilities.”
Auble still worries it won’t be enough, saying they raised concerns about the suspect beforehand, including filing reports, and nothing happened.
“We are furious as a community,” Auble explained. “This is unforgivable. And a lot of us don’t want to come back. A lot of us can’t come back.”

The Good, Bad, & Ugly from Broncos’ 24-17 Win Over Raiders
The Denver Broncos are on a roll. In the wake of their 24-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, the Broncos have prevailed in 10 straight games.
The enormity of that feat, considering the relative youth of the roster and some of the injury obstacles the Broncos have had to overcome, is striking. It shouldn’t be taken lightly.
The Broncos moved to 11-2 on the season, with a tight grip on the AFC West. Week 14’s win at Allegiant Stadium also secured the No. 1 seed for Denver, despite the on-bye New England Patriots sharing their record. Denver deepened its tiebreakers over New England by vanquishing the Raiders twice.
As we continue sifting through the aftermath of the Broncos’ fifth straight road win, it’s time to roll up our sleeves, and unflinchingly examine the good, the bad, and the ugly from Week 14’s performance.
The Good: Rushing Resurgence
The Broncos didn’t exactly blow out the Raiders, although the 10 garbage-time points allowed rendered this yet another one-score victory. However, a better reflection of just how much the Broncos dominated this game offensively is the time-of-possession margin.
The Broncos possessed the ball for 39:03 to to the Raiders’ 20:57. All three of Denver’s scoring drives consumed at least eight minutes of clock. That’s not easy to do.
What helped the Broncos move the chains, including on third down (58%) was the efficiency of the ground game, which is a new development in the post-J.K. Dobbins era. RJ Harvey produced 100 scrimmage yards and scored his ninth touchdown of the season, rushing for 75 yards on 17 carries.
For the first time since Dobbins went down, Harvey finished with a yards-per-carry average north of four yards (4.4 avg). The rookie second-round ran hard, picked his holes right (for the most part), and fought for the extra yards.
In support of Harvey, Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin produced well, averaging 4.0 and 5.5 yards per carry, respectively. Throw in Bo Nix’s savvy scrambling, and the Broncos’ ground attack produced 152 of the team’s 326 total yards.
Considering how things are about to stiffen in what remains of the season, that’s a (very) good development.

The Bad: Penalty Relapse
After only five penalties last week against the Washington Commanders, it seemed that Sean Payton’s bye-week resolution to minimize the Broncos’ penalty penchant was going to succeed. Alas, the Broncos had eight penalties in Vegas, returning to their pre-Week 13 average.
Although two of them were on purpose (delay of game), those eight penalties cost the Broncos 50 yards and kept the Raiders on the field. It seems to be a sunk-cost type of thing with this team, as if it’s just part of the Broncos’ tapestry, but so long as there are games to be played, there’s an opportunity to fix it.
Better teams, like the Green Bay Packers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, and Los Angeles Chargers, will do more than Raiders did to make the Broncos pay for it.
The Ugly: Drops & Bobbles
Some Broncos fans would argue that the defense’s leaky performance in back-to-back weeks might be more deserving, but for how much longer can Payton’s offense survive this many dropped passes?
Troy Franklin let a would-be deep strike from Nix go through his hands, and his 4th-&-3 bobble late in the second quarter erased the possibility of points on a promising drive that had penetrated Raiders’ territory.
The Broncos entered Week 14 with the second-most dropped passes in the NFL. Drops are part of the game, and they add up over the course of a season.
You wonder what Nix’s numbers would look like if the Broncos had even half the number of drops they do this season. We’ll never know what the true potential of this passing offense could be until Payton can get to the bottom of why his team has such a propensity for dropping balls.
The Takeaway
At the end of the day, the Broncos won this game handily. They led from the start, and the score obviously makes this game look way closer than it was.
The Broncos pretty much dominated the Raiders in their 2025 rematch, clinching the sweep of their bitter division rival in back-to-back seasons, but this should have been a 31-7 margin. The Broncos keep finding ways to win, and they deserve all the credit for that, but they continue to leave a lot of yards and points on the field.
