Way back in 2007, soon after we had opened our doors here at GraniteGrok, I wrote a post titled “The Academy – its dirty laundry keeps spilling out; University of Delaware – degrees in indoctrination?” …And it has turned into a problem.

Word Police Announce that ‘Brown Bag’, ‘Grandfathered’, and ‘Picnic’ are Offensive
There’s a ‘Words Matter Task Force’ for the IT department at the University of Michigan. It’s job? Find ways to view everyday words as offensive and then teach you what to say instead. Why?
Is Your School District Buying Anti-Racism Audits from Third Party Vendors?
The answer to the question posed in the title is probably yes, but this post is more a call to action. In 2015, we helped expose Cenergistic, a third party taking huge payouts from NH school districts to do fake energy audits. Racism Audits feel like a similar scam, though one with a very progressive purpose.
Will Democrats Rob You of Your Right to Remain Silent?
We’ve laid down voluminous amounts of text on free and compelled speech. We defend the former; the left demands the latter. And more recently, they demanded it at random, in public, under threat of harm. If you think that stops should they win, you’d be mistaken.
DISQUS Doodlings – And With a Single Word (WuFlu) I’m a Racist

Feds Slap Google On the Wrist for Viewpoint Discrimination in the Workplace
Big Tech talks tolerance, but like every other leftist construct, there is no protection if you deviate beyond the walls of their political groupthink. Until now. A National Labor Relations Board ruling may finally provide Google employees with relief.
Making “Conservatives” Out of Perfectly Fine Liberals
Kira Davis has a great piece at Townhall.com. She examines a trend brought on by the radicalization of the left. The growing number of perfectly fine liberals who are being pushed to the right. People who vote Democrat, from famous Hollywood types to your own friends and neighbors, who have become targets of the progressive-mob and the far-left agenda.
Palate Cleanser – I don’t care if you are pro/con feminism but the look on this feminist’s face….Heh!
First wave Feminism, second wave? OK. Third wave has all but turned into “women good, all men are bad” disaster. Women are waking up to the notion that “You go girl…you can have it ALL” is both Falsehoodian and Unobtanium – just like it is for men. So while there is a lot of bad … Read more
