Arrogant college prof gets schooled
Imagine the guy’s progressive hubris! UW-Eau Claire suspended a professor for flipping over a lit table the College Republicans set up on election day in April.

NY Times buries DEI
‘Nobody teaches Huck Finn anymore‘ It is over for diversity, equity, and inclusion. The New York Times, guilty of inflicting the 1619 Project on America three years ago, now admits that the Left’s DEI project is worse than a scam. Worse than a feather-bedding scheme for overpaid Woke bureaucrats (like the UW Medical School’s Shiva Bidar-Sielaff,…
