Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
So-called “woke” teachers — aka socialists — in their ethnic studies classes use a strong foundation of complete ignorance to teach kids to hate America. (This post develops one of the topics I discussed in my No. 31 Bookworm Podcast.) Writing at Minding the Campus, George Leef has an article

The story of the sweet beer guy and the doxxing reporter is a microcosm of Democrat behavior, plus racial — and racist — education madness in Seattle. The first part of this post is about the way in which the Carson King and Aaron Calvin saga parallels the saga of

The American college has lost its way. Saving it requires removing all taxpayer funds and refocusing the mission on high-level, job-based skills. (If you prefer listening over reading, the companion podcast to this post is embedded below, or you can listen to it at Libsyn or at Apple podcasts. I’m trying to make

Tom Cotton reminds us that too many corporations are brutally pro-abortion — a sickness that begins in America’s institutions of higher indoctrination. I learned at Ace of Spades that Sen. Tom Cotton (R. Arkansas) delivered a powerful speech today about the way in which corporations are using their wealth and

Harvard Law School has abandoned one of the core principles of American jurisprudence — a citizen’s right to counsel when standing alone before the state. [UPDATE: Welcome, Instapundit readers! I hope you appreciate this post — and I hope that you read it through the filter that Glenn Reynolds provided:

The best way to get America back on track is to elect a strong conservative federal government in 2020 and withdraw all federal money from higher education. Would any conservative quarrel with me about the fact that the worst ideas at work in America today were first incubated in academia

Academia — that is, the world of colleges and universities — is the incubator for all of the worst ideas in America, with abortion as the latest example. I’ll start with a three-part time-line, and then get to my point: 1. 1993, Practical Ethics, 2nd edition, a college text-book by

By admitting semi-literate anti-2nd Amendment activist David Hogg, Harvard shows how intellectually corrupt tax-payer supported higher education has become. I believe I’ve made it clear over the years how little I think of Harvard or many of its graduates. My disdain for Harvard started with losing respect for Harvard Law

Tweets between Dean Cain and Princeton Professor Kevin Kruse about debating controversial ideas exemplified academia’s intellectual vacuity and arrogance. My years at Berkeley left me with tremendous disdain for academics — and keep in mind that this disdain set in almost 40 years ago, before the current insanity of identity

Taking a hard look at the American Left’s fascism (its silencing speech, antisemitism, and moral depravity), with room for some fun and uplifting news too. The Flynn sentencing memo shows collusion. No, I haven’t gone crazy. Instead, I agree with Joel Pollak, who says the memo highlights that the real

At Stanford, another woman who refused to take responsibility for her own self-destructive acts cried rape and is determined to destroy a man’s life. Rape, real rape, is a terrible crime. It’s a violent assault against a person’s bodily integrity that attacks the very core of their being. To the
