Columnist George Will points out the liberal groupthink that is required in accredited social work programs across the nation. In 2005, Emily Brooker, a social-work student at Missouri State University, was enrolled in a class taught by a professor who advertised himself as a liberal and insisted that social work is a liberal profession. At […]
You can't always blame the education system for the poor state of civics education -- sometimes you get to blame judges. In a story in Sunday's Union-Tribune about a program to educate teachers on how t teach about the justice system to their students, Superior Court Judge Richard G. Cline had the following take on […]
That's the number that whackjob despot Mahmoud Imadinnerjacket got during his speech/Q&A at Columbia University. Does anyone want to lay odds on the likelihood of a speech given by President Bush at Columbia University getting half that many cheers? What does that say about Columbia University? What does that say about the American left?
Idris Leppla is a student at Columbia University. Idris Leppla is a moron. Soon that pride turned to anger and fear: after my mom dropped him off at Annapolis, she came home with an acute sense of grief. The only thing she could talk about was how to get him out. In addition to missing […]

That's what should've happened in this case: The two boys tore down the hall of Patton Middle School after lunch, swatting the bottoms of girls as they ran -- what some kids later said was a common form of greeting. But bottom-slapping is against policy in McMinnville Public Schools. So a teacher's aide sent the […]
The University of Colorado Board of Regents finally got around to firing the idiotic, evil, moronic, hack professor Ward "Little Eichmanns" Churchill. Churchill's despicable essay that likened the people working in the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001, to Nazi Holocaust engineer Adolf Eichmann was what prompted an investigation into Churchill's scholarship. That should be […]
This week's Supreme Court ruling on student speech started to set some boundaries on what teens can and can't say on campus. For the record: Can't: "Bong Hits 4 Jesus." (According to the Supreme Court today) Can: A seventh-grader from Vermont was suspended for wearing a shirt that bore images of cocaine and a martini […]
It's time to once again clean up some of the open Web pages with some stuff that's worth reading: Scot McKnight over at Jesus Creed has an excellent post on the "Love the sinner, hate the sin" philosophy vis a vis homosexuality. John Leo gives out his annual award to the worst college president in […]
