Campus Censorship And The End Of American Debate
by Greg Luckianoff. In the year and a half since I handed in the final draft of Unlearning Liberty, an amazing number of developments have taken place on and off campus regarding the free speech rights of college students and faculty. While some of them have been positive, several have been deeply disturbing to those of us who care ... MORECourt Slams First Amendment & Free Expression In School
Upholds ban on clothing with American flags. It might offend Mexicans. Officials at a Northern California high school acted appropriately when they ordered students wearing American flag T-shirts to turn the garments inside out during the Mexican heritage celebration Cinco de Mayo, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday. The 9th U.S. ... MOREPhyllis Schlafly: National Takeover Of School Curriculum
Parents balk at latest indoctrination scheme. Many people said ho-hum when President Barack Obama threatened to change any law with his pen or phone, and even use that power to personally alter Obamacare and the welfare law, and to "legislate" the Dream Act that Congress refused to pass. But Americans are rising up by the ... MOREFree Speech Threatens Liberalism And Must Be Destroyed
by Robby Soave. Harvard student proposes war on liberty. If this Harvard University student got her way, free speech on campus would be abolished and professors with dissenting views fired, because radical leftism is the only permissible political philosophy and the First Amendment is a barrier preventing modern colleges from ... MOREPatrice Lewis: Hands Off Our Children, Big Brother
Children are the currency of tyrants. Some friends came to us this week, troubled, to ask our advice. It seems their youngest son came home from school on Monday and asked – begged – to be homeschooled. His request has been a recurrent theme during the past few months, but it took on a particular urgency on Monday when his biology ... MOREHow The Left Will Grow Its Power In America's Schools
by Dr. Susan Berry. In 2012, terrorist and activist Chicago professor Bill Ayers told his followers that the left had “absolute access to the community, the school… the classroom,” and that is where it should do its “movement-building.” In October of 2009, when speculation had arisen that Ayers had been the real author of Barack Obama’s ... MOREDerek Olson: Students' Free Speech
ASU cracks down on free speech. Arizona State University expelled the Tau Kappa
Epsilon fraternity last week after it held a Martin Luther King,
Jr.-themed party. Pictures surfaced on social media of students dressed
in hip-hop style clothing with hashtags invoking black stereotypes. To
say the least, it was an inappropriate way to ... MORECamille Paglia: A Feminist Defense Of Masculine Virtues
by Bart Weiss. 'What you're seeing is how a civilization commits suicide," says Camille Paglia. This self-described "notorious Amazon feminist" isn't telling anyone to Lean In or asking Why Women Still Can't Have It All. No, her indictment may be as surprising as it is wide-ranging: The military is out of fashion, Americans undervalue manual ... MORE
Climate Bullies, The Surrealists Of Science
Science geeks stand up against global bullies. Popular perceptions about climate appear surrealistic to me. I'm a seasoned science geek who has been involved in big-time climate modeling, serious mathematics, theory, and more. Popular discussions of this subject have come to look like a Salvador Dali painting, as once noted by ... MOREWalter E Williams: Our Fragile Planet
And our even more fragile capitalistic system. Let's examine a few statements reflecting a vision thought to be beyond question. "The world that we live in is beautiful but fragile." "The 3rd rock from the sun is a fragile oasis." Here are a couple of Earth Day quotes: "Remember that Earth needs to be saved every single day." "Remember the ... MOREFred Reed: Notes On The Wussification Of America
It is time to get women out of the schooling of boys. It is way past time. Women in our feminized classrooms are consigning generations of our sons to years of misery and diminished futures. The evidence is everywhere. Few dare notice it. The feminization is real. More than seventy-five percent of teachers are women; in New York ... MOREAmerica's Authoritarian Instruments of Compliance
John W. Whitehead on the modern school system. These days, it is far too easy to rattle off the outrageous examples of zero tolerance policy run amok in our nation’s schools. A 14-year-old student arrested for texting in class. Three middle school aged boys in Florida thrown to the ground by police officers wielding rifles, who ... MORESchool Forced To Apologize After Obama Propaganda Video

by Larry Elder. Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is worried. In a recent speech at Boise State, O'Connor said: "Less than one-third of eighth-graders can identify the historical purpose of the Declaration of Independence, and it's right there in the name. ... The more I read and the more I listen, the more apparent ... MOREWalter E Williams: Student Indoctrination
Teaching what to think, not how to think. The new college academic year has begun, and unfortunately, so has student indoctrination. Let's look at some of it. William Penn, Michigan State University professor of creative writing, greeted his first day of class with an anti-Republican rant. Campus Reform, a project of the ... MOREJames Allen: The Toy Gun Buyback Program
More politically-correct nitwittery. Strobridge Elementary School in Hayward, California is hosting a gun buyback program for kids. What a great way to get unwanted guns off the street, not to mention a great way to get guns out of the hands of minors. Guns are not toys, and gun buyback programs can get unwanted guns out of homes and off ... MOREThomas DiLorenzo: The Real LIncoln In His Own Words
What did Abe really believe about racial equality? After writing two books and dozens of articles, and giving hundreds of radio and television interviews and public presentations on the subject of Lincoln and the political economy of the American "Civil War"over the past fifteen years, I have realized that the only thing the average American ...
