At last year’s Modern Language Association (MLA) convention, Adrienne Brown of the University of Chicago remembered, arguably, one of Dr. King’s less successful crusades. In 1966 Dr. King and his […]

 Is this a good thing? Students at an Iowa community college can’t enroll in class until they take a ‘gender violence’ online course. Also note that Hillary Clinton visited students at this community college in 2015 during her presidential campaign. Kirkwood Community College is requiring students to take an online course on “gender violence” and […]

In Part 1 of this two-part report, I pointed out that “Many exhibits in the new $500 million National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. will be worthwhile.

Here’s the key problem with women’s studies: They ignore the women most worthy of study. Into this category falls the dear—and she was—departed author and activist Phyllis Schlafly.

Students at Boston College (BC) are petitioning administrators to change the school’s core history requirement because it is too “Eurocentric.” “After careful analysis of the core curriculum at Boston College, we, the students, have come to acknowledge the lack of core courses that expand beyond a Eurocentric focus, which is particularly evident […]

The anti-police narrative is alive and well: Several students in a required course at Roger Williams University were appalled when a recent social justice-themed lecture featured a video of the Rodney King beating followed by a song called “F*** the Police.” Students in one of the sections of Core 102 (“History in the Modern World: […]

When will socialist Democrat Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) be held accountable by the media for his own revolutionary and hateful rhetoric? “Not Donald Trump, not anyone else will be successful in dividing us based on race or our country of origin,” says Sanders. Meredith Warren, a Republican political analyst and consultant, counters: “But Sanders should […]

In an email this week to students, University of Maryland President Wallace Loh outlining the reasons behind his request to the Board of Regents to rename the school’s football stadium, due to the racist past of a previous president for which the stadium is named, Loh managed to quote the wrong official motto of the […]
