The most important takeaway from the “campus protests”? That colleges are radicalizing, versus educating, young adults? NO, NO, NO. Anybody paying the slightest bit of attention already knew that colleges have been indoctrinating Woke-Communism for, not years, but decades. That’s yesterday’s news as in last century’s news. No, the most important takeaway is how organized … Read more
I have seen and heard the campus “protesters” described as Marxists. They are NOT. They are actually their own manifestation of socialism (which I call Woke-Communism), but if the choice is limited to Marxist and Nazi … the far better descriptive is Nazi. I will explain why.
Fans of Dr. Demento will already be familiar with the tune and the original, but it’s not a problem if you’ve never heard it. It is a humorous 1963 ‘novelty’ song by Alan Sherman about a kid sent to the fictional Camp Grenada.
It should be a maxim of our Constitutional Republic and inculcated into the collective consciousness that thou shalt not let legislators vote hastily on bills in response to current events. They almost always waste money, infringe on rights, or produce lousy laws, and the Antisemitism Awareness Act is an example of this bad idea. Listen to the … Read more
College students, and trained Marxists, do not just wake up one day illiterate and acting like cult members– they have to be trained. The dumbing down of public education certainly helps sway students to support a political movement like Marxism, especially if they are illiterate in history, and economic systems.
Many of us have offered repeated warnings about the focus on action civics in our schools versus a focus on academic content knowledge. The violence and anger directed at Jews we are seeing on college campuses, is what students across America have been taught.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) has released its latest looks at free speech on America’s college campuses. The “Spotlight on Speech Codes 2024” report grades alleged schools of higher learning on their speech policies.
This is another example of that fifty-state laboratory business. The notion is that each state can try a thing, and when they work or fail, other states can learn from that. With the Blue States, failure is the goal, and it is what they emulate. Red states, on the other hand.
There are three main takeaways from 2023. Higher education, especially among the Ivy Leagues and other “elite” colleges, continues to be revealed for what it has become: a bloated, tenured-protected, and indoctrinating mess.
Arizona State University must be rolling in the glory of this wisdom, imparted by two ASU profs who’ve started a discussion about why Free Speech on Campus is not just overrated but dangerous. My First thought? Their sort of speech sounds dangerous, but they got to say it.
At least two Vermont college students have helped to start the Student Declaration 2023, which is to ensure that overzealous COVID-19-related mandates are never repeated again on their school campuses.
When Obama was elected in 2008, Valerie Jarrett and David Pouffle were credited for helping him beat out Hillary Clinton, the female candidate who had vastly more experience than he did. His campaign succeeded in reaching a 17–25 year old demographic using social media.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression has released its latest College Free Speech Rankings, and much attention is being paid to Harvard. It is, after all, Harvard. Out of 248 schools, it came in dead last for free speech, but Dartmouth College wasn’t much better.
Really, from being bastions of Free Academic Research and Debate to backing up Cancel Culture. A great thing to have done, Dartmouth College. You’ve created an atmosphere of fear and repression that your students fear retribution. Do you consider this your Mission Accomplished?
[Update!] There has been a last-minute change to the off-campus venue for this event. Tuckerbox Restaurant, 1 S. Main Street, White River Junction, VT 05001, 7:30 p.m., 2/10/2022. GraniteGrok still intends to live stream (bandwidth permitting).
The COVID cult will be livid. How dare you give them a choice. Virginia’s new Attorney General, Jason Miyares, has made it clear that mandatory COVID vaccination’s by Colleges is not legal in Virginia
We covered this in May when it came to light that Brandi Levy and her High School Administration didn’t see eye to eye. She wanted to move up from the JV to the Varsity Cheerleading team – Admin said no. She decided to let loose with a potty mouth rampage on Snapchat.
Dartmouth was where professor Mark Brey was teaching when he launched a book justifying Antifa violence to suppress speech with which Liberals disagree (with the support of 100 Dartmouth colleagues). Another professor supported the idea of Doxxing Catholic teenagers. And hating on Thanksgiving is a tradition.
Blacks get called white supremacists for supporting Trump. As dumb as that sounds, how much worse is this? Louis Shenker was a student at UMASS Amherst. A supporter of the president, who thought the university’s dedication to free speech and peaceful protest was inclusive. It was not.
Back in 2018, we posed a simple question. Was the University of New Hampshire taking strings attached funding from China? It has had a Confucius Institute for ten years, and in March of 2018, the CIA flagged them as foreign influence organizations.
