Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I blogged in the past couple of days about SF’s probable decision to “re-educate” its police as the preferred way of addressing the very real fact that, on a per capita basis, more blacks are committing crimes in San Francisco than they are in other California cities. I also
Continue readingAs an added incentive to you to go to the Indoctrinate U website, and let them know that, in your community, there is at least one person who wants to see the movie about some of the things that happen in American universities, here’s the movie trailer: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHZGepplG2Q] Remember, distributors
Continue readingEvan Coyne Maloney has spent the last three years working on a film about American universities, and the complete breakdown of freedom of speech or thought at those publicly funded institutions. Unfortunately, the same distributors that are all over Michael Moore (even though his films only get mileage in blue
Continue readingWhen I was a law student at a fairly prestigious school, I interviewed with a fairly prestigious law firm. One of the interviewers, when he heard I was from the Bay Area (although that’s not where I went to law school), told me that his firm almost never hired people
Continue readingBob Myer, writing at American Thinker, says that, faced with flat-lining student performance, American schools are thinking about making the school day longer. He doesn’t think that’s a good idea, and neither do I. Bob’s reasons focus on the very limited potential benefit conferred by extending a kids’ school day
Continue readingA month ago, I wrote about dhimmitude run amok at San Francisco State University in San Francisco, where the University had announced its intention of persecuting college Republicans who had stamped on butcher paper representations of Hezbollah and Hamas flags, unaware that those flags had Mohammed’s name written upon them.

Recently, through a community outreach program, my son’s group was augmented by some boys from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. These boys are

Continue readingLast night, I did a long post that covered, among other things, the long, drawn out death of Free Speech at San Francisco State University, a place so radically Left that Angela Davis is a faculty member there. As is so often the case, immediately after I’ve done a post,
Continue readingSan Francisco has been in the press a lot lately (and inspired some pretty funny Jay Leno riffs) because of Gavin Newsom’s sexual misconduct with his ex-campaign manager’s wife. It’s sordid, it’s sexy, and, at bottom, it’s not troubling. That is, as with all good sex scandals, we can purse
Continue readingAn Inconvenient Truth is fast becoming Gospel truth, and it’s being passed on to the next generation. Yesterday, as I was listening to Dennis Prager, he asked how many parents have heard from their children that An Inconvenient Truth is being shown at school. I haven’t heard that from my
Continue readingAfter 30 years, Harvard has revamped its curriculum. Or, at least, it says it’s revamping its curriculum. As you’ll see below, the powers that be at Harvard have simply made official an ethos that has become normative at Harvard — namely, the celebration of everything not American: Harvard University announced
Continue readingMy son asked me how Valentine’s Day began. I explained that, a long time ago, there was a man named Valentine who was known for his kindness to young couples who wished to get married (and he may have given doweries to poor girls so they could marry). He was
Continue readingIt made news when Yale admitted to an almost 10% drop in applications for membership in the 2011 graduating class. Yale come up with some reasons, such as the fact that people might not be applying because the law admissions rate means it’s not worth the effort. Others posited that
Continue readingAt Extreme Wisdom, I got to see a video telling about some math books that are apparently very popular in many public schools. It’s such a good video, I’m putting it in this post. If you have about 15 minutes, see what you think: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr1qee-bTZI] My take on the video
