Harvard Abandons America (Or: Ted Kaczynski Is Not ‘Anti-Intellectual’)

What has been well-known for years is now official policy: Conservatives need not apply at Harvard University. This is really full-circle Back to the Future stuff, because the American conservative movement can be said to have properly begun in 1951 with the publication of William F. Buckley Jr.’s God and Man at Yale, which exposed in […]

The Homophobolicious Flavor of Hate™

Last summer, during the absurd Chick-fil-A boycott, my teenage son Jefferson coined the word “homophobolicious” to describe the yummy sandwiches. Now the unspeakable terror inspired by The Flavor of Hate™ has spread to the University of New Mexico campus: A group of liberal students at the University of New Mexico tried their best to get Chick-fil-A […]

Our Homogenous Elite

If you’ve spent much time around the Washington, D.C., political establishment, you know how rare it is to encounter anyone there who might be what folks down home would call “a character.” Colorful people with interesting tales to tell — and interesting ways of telling them — are not common among Capitol Hill staffers, advocacy-group administrators, think-tank […]

Improv Actress With BFA Degree in Theatre — or Sex Education Expert?

Apparently, it’s not an either/or choice. The qualifications to become a “sex education expert” seem to be pretty flexible, so that studying acting in college (along with such experiences as writing novels and hiking in Spain) will suffice as credentials. What inspired this discovery was an article by Katie McHugh of The College Fix about “I Heart the Female Orgasm,” […]

Lunatic Asylum Overcrowded? There’s Always Room at Columbia University

Jennifer Kabbany reports on a typical Ivy League professor: A science professor at Columbia University on Monday began a quantum mechanics lecture by stripping into his boxers and eating a banana while rap music played in the background. Then it got weird. The professor, Emlyn Hughes, proceeded to redress himself in black, complete with sunglasses, […]

Equality Update: Plessy and Ferguson Could Not Be Reached for Comment

In Aurora, Colorado, an elementary school set up an after-school tutoring program from which white students were deliberately excluded. When the mother of a 10-year-old white girl complained, she got a phone call from Mission Viejo Elementary principal Andre Pearson explaining that the program is “focused for and designed for children of color.” This revival […]

SWM, No Fatties, No Guns

Do I know why Harvard Law student Robert M. Cross (right) posted that as a profile picture on Facebook? No, I do not. And his Facebook page doesn’t list a “relationship” status, so it would be wrong to jump to any conclusions as to what the photo signifies. Two friends posing after a healthy hike in […]

Meet @BridgetteDunlap, Fordham’s Campus Commissar of ‘Human Rights’

“Ms. Dunlap, 31 … was raised a Catholic and was educated at parochial schools” (Photo: Michael Nagle, New York Times) You may recall this week I wrote an item called “Why Does @BridgetteDunlap Want to Suppress the Truth About Abortion?” describing a misguided effort to intimidate those who had written about the abortion-related death of Jennifer […]
