On Columbus Day, Columbia University unveiled a plaque that is seemingly apologetic for colonization: The plaque, situated on a popular campus courtyard, reads: “The Lenape lived here before and during colonization of the Americas.

A recent report alleged that the College Board, the architects of the college entrance exams known today as the SAT, is becoming a profit-driven (yet taxpayer-funded) machine, instead of a business focused on the greater good. The National Center for Policy Analysis’s latest report, “The Big Business Profitability of the Nonprofit College Board,” highlights how […]
