DEI just flunked out
Plagiarism and critical race theory are both scams! The resignation of the president of Harvard University was overdue, a progressive scold admits in The Atlantic magazine. But not for her moral equivalence over anti-semitism! Claudine Gay’s only sin was plagiarism — what The Nation magazine pooh poohs as “minor academic pilferage” — not her school’s…

Robin Vos just made the UW less racist
Progressivism causes low achievement. Paul Fanlund hates Republicans more than he loves the Universities (plural!) of Wisconsin. The publisher of The Capital Times will be the last to understand this, but Republican legislative leaders did the Universities of Wisconsin a favor and system president Jay Rothman knows it.

America paralyzed by writers’ strike?
There’s enough good stuff that we missed! We get the impression that John Nichols and his comrades at The Nation (we really do love you, John!) won’t be satisfied until the world goes on strike for higher wages, better living conditions, and an end to that climate changie thing. If anyone should go on strike,…

It’s DEI or die! for campus free speech
Worse than the Joe McCarthy era! What did that Stanford University administrator do when asked to restore order as law students disrupted an invited speaker? Instead of quelling the mob, she asked the speaker, a federal judge, “whether the juice was worth the squeeze”? I.E., do you really have to give your speech? Is anyone…
