It’s August, when many young people head off to college. This year, fortunately, fewer will go. I say “fortunately” because college is now an overpriced scam. Overpriced, because normal incentives to be frugal and make smart judgments about who should go to college were thrown out when the federal government took over granting student loans….

The Left is angry because the Supreme Court ruled race-based affirmative action unconstitutional. President Joe Biden says he “strongly disagrees.” But Chief Justice John Roberts was right to say, “Eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it.” It’s a victory for Students for Fair Admissions, the group that sued, thereby forcing Harvard to admit that…

The Supreme Court declared on Thursday that racial preferences in college admissions at Harvard College and the University of North Carolina violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution and are against the law.  The Left isn’t handling it well. What a surprise! The decision is undoubtedly a huge blow to the racial preferences regime…

In a decision that will benefit families all across the country and their high school-graduating sons and daughters who aspire to attend college, the Supreme Court has finally fulfilled its duty to uphold the guarantees of equal protection in the 14th Amendment and end the pernicious, morally repugnant racial discrimination practiced by Harvard College and…

The woke well is bottomless. Johns Hopkins University recently updated the “LGBTQ Glossary” in its so-called inclusive language guide with a new definition for “lesbian.”   A lesbian, according to the famed Baltimore university’s guide, should be referred to as a “non-man attracted to non-men.” A broad definition, right?

ORLANDO, Fla.—A Christian former professor who nearly got fired for ostensibly creating a “suicidal environment” for LGBT students in the classroom is now running an organization dedicated to helping college students maintain their faith in a hostile environment. “We’ve moved beyond, in this country and especially at universities, free speech,” Corey Miller, president and CEO…

I sat in the crowd with thousands of beautiful families waiting to hear a message of inspiration, hope, and a brighter future like I would expect to hear at any commencement speech in America. Instead, sitting in the audience at the historically black Howard University, the graduates, their families, and I heard a message from…

Free speech and free inquiry are in bad shape on college campuses. You might hope that things would be better on avowedly Christian campuses, but if Whitworth University is any indication, they aren’t. On April 12, Whitworth’s student government voted 9-4 to deny a conservative group’s request to invite Chinese dissident Xi Van Fleet to…

Former University of Kentucky championship swimmer Riley Gaines was recently assaulted by demonstrators at San Francisco State University for her support of keeping biological men out of women’s sports. Federal Appeals Court Judge Kyle Duncan was shouted down at Stanford Law School. Cornell University’s student government recently passed a resolution calling for automatic trigger warnings from faculty—though,…

Students are proving that they learned their social justice lessons well, as shout-downs of conservative campus speakers at universities like Stanford demonstrate. But when students demanded that state-funded George Mason University cancel Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin as this year’s commencement speaker, the university refused. The university president defended the decision to host Youngkin because, in…
