Excuse me? From the College Fix: During an event at Thursday evening #BlackLivesMatter founders Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi told Mizzou students that the goal of the Constitution was to make an agreement between factions known as states, which were built on the backs of black slaves… Capitalism was not the only thing with which […]

One topic of conversation in the Republican race for the White House has been whether President Obama has been incompetent, or actually knows what he’s doing. On the matter of Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Obamacare, self-declared socialist Professor Gerald Friedman seems to agree […]

In their account of the 1988 presidential campaign, Whose Broad Stripes and Bright Stars: The Trivial Pursuit of the Presidency, Jack Germond and Jules Whitcover claimed that Republicans have more places to “warehouse” their political operatives than do Democrats, i. e., corporations and think tanks where they can work between elections.

Since everybody else is rating presidents, we thought we’d give it a shot too, since we’ve covered many of them, especially those who served in the last century.

Occasionally you can actually learn about classic authors at the Modern Language Association (MLA). Attended by thousands of English professors from around the world, too often the MLA emphasizes the “Modern” part of their acronym in their annual meetings at the expense of the classical. Yet and still, there was at least one exception at […]

We took a look around the exhibit hall at the convention center, where left-wing professors talked to book publishers and looked for the latest books to buy. This is what we saw:  

When the Modern Language Association (MLA) deconstructs something, it stays scrambled. Thousands of English professors attend the annual MLA conferences and just about every English Department is represented there. At this year’s meeting in Austin, Christian Haines, an assistant professor of English at Dartmouth, tried to link the shooting of aggressive shoplifter Michael Brown in […]
