Washington Post Publishes Jailbait Apologist (Ain’t I Done Told You So?)

Besty Karasik is an airhead who quit her job as a laywer to become a painter. Whatever the art community gained by that transaction, the legal community lost no wisdom. In an op-ed in the Washington Post, Karasik argues for decriminalizing student-teacher sex: [W]ith our legal and moral codes failing us, our society needs to have […]

Hard Times for Gender Studies Major

Hilarity ensued Monday after @Andria_XX complained that social-media criticism of Miley Cyrus included “bodyshaming/slutshaming” and “heteropatriarchal crap.” Readers will recall that Andria has an “Honors BA in Social Justice and Peace Studies” and is pursuing a Master’s degree in Gender Studies. So . . . how’s that going? “I have a honors BA and I’m […]

Bitches Be Cray-Cray: A Heteropatriarchal Theory of Non-Transformative Justice

Otherwise known as the Anglo-American common-law tradition, I figure glitzing up the Rule of Law in fancy intellectual jargon might give it the academic oomph necessary to compete with this crazy crap: In the wake of the Trayvon Martin verdict, Chicago has seen several public events and workshops exploring its aftermath.

Public-School Graduate @abenedikt Attempts Persuasive Writing, Fails

LOL: @LaurelRConrad Smacks Liberal HuffPo Commenters With the Truth

You remember the Oberlin racism hoax (“Another God-Hating Anti-American Democrat Exposed as a Criminal Liar“) in which the perpetrator of that high-profile pseudo-hate-crime was revealed as an Obama supporter who hates God and hates America. Of course, all Democrats do, but I digress . . . Laurel Conrad reports the comic denouement: After the hoax […]

Family Terrorized as Michigan Teachers Support Colleague Who Molested Boy

Former middle-school teacher Neal Erickson, 38, pleaded guilty in May to having sex with a boy beginning in 2006 — when the boy was a 14-year-old eighth-grader — until 2009. His fellow teachers in Ogemaw County, Michigan, supported Erickson, writing letters to the judge asking for a lenient sentence. Any parent would be horrified by […]

Another God-Hating Anti-American Democrat Exposed as a Criminal Liar

Dylan Bleier is a Democrat and a liar, but I repeat myself. Oberlin College student Dylan Bleier identified himself as an “atheist/ pacifist/environmentalist/libertarian socialist/consequentialist,” which is to say he is a typical lying Democrat criminal: One of the two students removed from Oberlin College earlier this year for allegedly circulating virulently racist, anti-Jewish and anti-gay […]

But Their Football Team Still Sucks

And their women are still ugly: Auburn University has the most conservative student body of any college in the nation, according to the Princeton Review’s annual rankings, released [Aug. 5]. In contrast, Bennington College in Vermont, is the nation’s most liberal school, according to the study. Rounding out the top ten most conservative schools for […]
