Professors from multiple states have signed on to the argument that “success and merit” should not be goals of a university, but rather that they’re “barriers,” according to Kate Anderson on Campus Reform (via Instapundit): “Admitting that the normative definitions of success and merit are in and of themselves barriers to achieving the goals of justice, diversity, equity…
Sometimes I wonder how many of the most-aggressive anti-COVID crusaders have children. It would be interesting to see a study of attitudes toward our response to the pandemic and having children in the home. As somebody with children spanning from early grades into college, I can testify that things have become much, much harder. Stories…
Matt Brown and his progressive friends are trying something new and bold with their 50-person slate, who pay money into the co-op to be a part of it. Ryan Grim of The Intercept seems to think they “look to take over Rhode Island,” but we’ll see. Something like this comes with a lot of conflict. Patrick…
This article in Epoch Times by Patricia Tolson is an important one to read in order to understand what’s going on with critical race theory in our schools. The bottom line is that advocates who think they’re bringing “social justice” won’t respect laws or the wishes of parents. They’re on a mission. When people catch on…
Between vulgar anti-Biden chants at athletic events and these billboards in Pennsylvania, a movement seems to be building.
Somehow, this seems at odds with the strong hand Big Tech has brought to bear against people it claims are trying to undermine elections in the United States: Following Russia’s demand that Apple and Google remove the tactical voting app, and then threats of fines, Apple and Google have dropped the “Smart Voting” app in…

Does every story featuring the “jab” (maybe also bad marketing — “jab” doesn’t sound very gentle) have to feature a needle?…
From Peter Malbin on Newsmax: A study published in the British medical journal The Lancet found that 39% of young adults reported feeling uncertain about having children, given the state of the environment and the added carbon footprint brought by having children. The Lancet polled about 10,000 older teenagers and young adults to ascertain how climate…
It’s weird how American progressives can tolerate no conservative policies in other American states to accommodate a different level of respect for human life, greater acknowledgment of natural and traditional qualities of genders, and more reverence for religious freedom, but news like this is apparently not an issue: The Taliban terrorist group has ordered the…
As Glenn Reynolds points out on Instapundit: Yes, we’re told it’s a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” but the unvaccinated are disproportionately black. They’re disproportionately in hospitals and ICUs, and they’re disproportionately dying, and they’re disproportionately affected by the Democrats’ playing politics with antibody treatments. And, of course, they’re disproportionately affected by Democrat-backed vaccine-passport requirements. If you’re…
