Commencement Speakers Blast America, Again

The May 2022 issue of Campus Report focuses on commencement speakers’ criticisms of America, a Harvard study on education in red states and blue states, and Virginia Governor Youngkin’s education priorities. The report criticizes commencement speakers like Dr. Anthony Fauci and Tim Cook for downplaying their roles in pandemic policies and promoting liberal values. A Harvard study confirms that red states, which largely kept schools open during the pandemic, outperformed blue states in educational outcomes. Governor Youngkin continues to challenge the education establishment in Virginia, pushing for increased political diversity in university hiring.
