Maine State University Yanks Credit Offer To Anti-Kavanaugh Students Protesting Susan Collins

The University of Southern Maine, a state university, has yanked an offer of one college credit to students who travel to Washington D.C. to protest U.S. Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) as she mulls her decision on U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
