The resignation of Harvard president Claudine Gay after "facing national backlash for her administration’s response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack and allegations of plagiarism in her scholarly work" does not solve the problem at America’s oldest college and other elite schools. She and many other university presidents are only a symptom of what’s wrong with our system of education, from bottom to…

Tuesday’s PBS NewsHour dealt with the resignation of Harvard President Claudine Gay, a shocking move fueled by her botched performance at a congressional hearing on pro-Hamas protests held on progressive college campuses. Gay was further doomed by myriad examples of plagiarism within her incredibly modest collection (for a Harvard president) of published research. But tax-funded PBS…

The Associated Press story on the resignation of Harvard President Claudine Gay was a pathetic woke whine from headline to text: “Plagiarism charges downed Harvard’s president: “Harvard president's resignation highlights new conservative weapon against colleges: plagiarism.” It got no better: "Christopher Rufo, a conservative activist who helped orchestrate the effort against Gay, celebrated…

Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana, has reversed a decision to admit transgender women to the all-girls school amid backlash.

The about-face follows objections to the policy, primarily from Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades, as to the potential…

I have written in the past about the similarities of the stress and tensions in our country today to the stress and tensions that were taking place in the years before the Civil War. A free country will always have debate and differences of opinion. But that debate becomes dangerous and destructive when the differences strike at the core premises that define the very existence of the nation.…

Give “Saturday Night Live’s” disastrous Ivy League presidents sketch a little credit. The show indirectly acknowledged the anti-Jewish sentiment flooding the country following the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel.

Across the major evening network newscasts, there was no mention of the accusations of plagiarism against embattled Harvard President Claudine Gay, already under fire due to her flippant responses to questions on whether a call for the genocide of Jews is violative of campus rules.

On Monday, the New York Post’s Sara Nathan revealed in an exclusive that longtime Saturday Night Live star Cecily Strong felt “uncomfortable” and backed out of playing House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY) in the December 9 episode’s cold open attacking her questioning of cowardly heads of Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and University…

I know a little bit about the kinds of speech that are generally welcomed on campus. I've been banned from a few campuses, including DePaul University; I've spoken at more than a few campuses at which violence broke out over my speeches, including California State University at Los Angeles, Penn State and University of California at Berkeley.
