Editor’s Note: This post was originally published at the Times of Israel. When Elmer Davis, director of FDR’s Office of War Information, observed that “…you cannot do much with people who are convinced that they are the sole authorized custodians of Truth and that whoever differs from them is ipso facto wrong,” he may well have […]

It really is a shame that geography is no longer taught in schools: It might make life easier for left-wing campus activists. Cary Nelson, an English professor at the University of Illinois, remembers that in January 2014, a faction supporting a movement to Boycott, Divest [from] and Sanction (BDS) Israel was brought forth at the […]

In a recent study published by Johns Hopkins University, entitled “Firearms on College Campuses: Research Evidence and Policy Implications,” ten authors push back against the campus carry movement, whereby state legislatures have given college students the right to carry firearms on college campuses in light of mass shootings. Although the researchers gave a detailed background […]

Wright State University Professor Martin Kich is absolutely gleeful over a poll showing students not yet eligible to vote would, if they could, make the country look like a blue blazer with a red necktie. “These are the results of a presidential polling of K-8 students conducted by Scholastic,” he writes on the academe blog […]

It’s a fact of life that in this era of access to many different sources of information, some people go to the Google search engine and rely on the first item that pops up. That’s how I got banned (temporarily) from the campus of the State University of New York at New Paltz. A feminist […]

Our top educators like to think that worthwhile social movements only come from the left, such as Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter. But the movement backing Donald J.

In one of her secret speeches, Hillary Clinton said, “My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders…” Before this comment was revealed, Adam Taylor of The Washington Post tried to assure everyone that the idea of a North American Union, like the meddlesome and bureaucratic European Union, was dead. Such […]

Interestingly, Thanksgiving has remained relatively unscathed as progressives try to remake the American calendar. Maybe they because don’t want to blow a four-day weekend. I did have an oddball professor—it does sound redundant—35 years ago who protested the holiday by dining alone in the kitchen. It didn’t occur to him that no one minded. “Thanksgiving […]

From Campus Reform: Students at California State University-Chico are being treated to an educational campaign instructing them to avoid phrases like “man up” and “like a girl.” The school’s athletics department announced last week that it will participate in the “You Don’t Say” campaign at the behest of the Chico State Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), […]

That sounds racist: A spokesman for the University of Wisconsin-Madison has shrugged off concerns over one of its students selling hoodies bearing the phrase “All White People Are Racist” in capital letters. “In this case, the individuals involved are exercising their rights to free speech and engaging in a private activity unrelated to their status as students,” campus spokesman John Lucas […]

From Campus Reform: The textbook, titled In Conflict and Order: Understanding Society, is required reading for a Principles of Sociology class (S161) at IPFW taught by Robert Pettit, which qualifies as a 3-credit general education requirement and is an introductory course for sociology majors. Not only does the book tell readers that teaching American exceptionalism […]

From queer studies and LGBTQIA+ scholarships to gender-free pronouns and special “gender equity” housing, the University of Oregon stands at the forefront of the social revolution to redefine gender.
