Higher Education

WASHINGTON — I have long held to the belief that the most conformist institutions in America are its universities. More recently, I have come to the conclusion that high schools are joining the ranks of universities in regimenting thought among their students. Now, more alarmingly, I have come to the conclusion that grammar schools are turning out goose-stepping student bodies, and even…

A week after NBC Nightly News dishonestly hyped a pending lawsuit by racial ambulance chaser Ben Crump and a number of left-wing activist students over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Board of Education banning an AP African American studies course that would've taught public school students content steeped in leftist ideology like Critical Race Theory, black queer…

 This is a serious man doing serious research into serious things. Seriously. 

In yet another scandal from a Northern Virginia school district dominated by liberals, Fairfax public schools were recently accused of withholding notice of merit scholarship commendations as part of what Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin calls their “maniacal focus on equal outcomes for all students at all costs.” The response from CNN during Tuesday’s Inside Politics was to suggest…

Longtime sociology professor Sam Richards led a discussion titled “A Conversation on Trans Issues, TERFS, and The Binary” in his sociology class where he encouraged students to “watch gay porn.” Richards was apparently attempting to encourage students to understand “new sides to their sexuality,” as the Daily Mail put it. 

Public universities have decided to ban TikTok from their internet networks. The Idaho Statesman reported last month that the app would be prohibited from operating on Boise State and Idaho State campus internet networks, but that faculty, staff, and students could still access the app…

Stanford University put out a new list of words it considers to be “harmful language.” The 13-page “Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative” includes words like “immigrant,” which should be replaced by “person who has immigrated.” It advises against saying “walk-in hours” in favor of “open hours” to avoid discriminating against and hurting the feeling of those with disabilities. Stanford…

Here it is: everything wrong with higher education in one story about Stanford University. Stanford, of course, is an elite American institution. Except according to its own speech code, it can’t be “American,” because that term is verboten. Really. According to the New York Post, in May Stanford undertook the Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative.

Instead of admitting that President Biden's student loan election bribe has no constitutional or legal merit to begin with, CNN stoked rage at the U.S. Supreme Court for refusing to lift federal court injunctions that are preventing the “forgiveness” of certain student loans. The liberal outlet also lamented that the Biden administration had to send out letters disappointing those who already…

On MSNBC’s The ReidOut, host Joy Reid spent the last segment of her Thursday night show throwing a tantrum and lying about proposed changes to Virginia’s educational standards that have been proposed by the state’s Department of Education. Reid and her guest state Senator L Louise Lucas who serves as the President Pro Tempore of the Virginia State Senate falsely claimed that Virginia…

President Biden insisted in a Wednesday press conference he would make zero changes after Tuesday’s midterm elections failed to produce a Republican red wave and, during said presser, nine White House reporters took their shot at Biden with some engaging in silly softballs on the fate of his legacy, Donald Trump, affirmative action, and ridding the country of partisanship.

On Monday morning, in anticipation of the Supreme Court hearing a challenge to Affirmative Action in college admissions, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today lashed out at the five constitutionalist justices and Chief Justice John Roberts for daring to hear the case and possibly strike it down. Despite the court only having five to six judges who consistently uphold the…

On Wednesday, ABC, CBS and NBC attempted to channel Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars during their morning news shows by telling viewers to move along and dismiss what they saw Tuesday as Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D-PA) showed severe cognitive impairment on a debate stage against Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz for Pennsylvania’s open Senate seat.

The front page of Saturday’s New York Times carried a surprisingly arcane story regarding the settling of an old “rape” controversy concerning Geoffrey Chaucer, the renowned 14^th century writer of The Canterbury Tales: “Chaucer the Rapist? Newly Discovered Documents Suggest Not.” Culture reporter Jennifer Schuessler reluctantly framed the vindication of this Dead…
