Legos — Building blocks for social inequality or tools of collectivist indoctrination? Neal Boortz is talking about an experiment in Socialism at Seattle’s Hilltop Children’s Center that involved a “Legotown” built by the students. The teachers responsible for this experiment have published their “findings” in this article, “Why We Banned Legos”. This article is remarkable. […]
ASU’s vagina sneaks up on next victim. File this story under “too crazy to be fiction.” Leave it to UNC professor (and fellow gun-nut) Mike Adams to alert us to the “six-foot vagina costume” roaming the campus of Appalachian State University. We’re just relieved that freedom of expression is alive (if not so “well”) on […]
Here’s a ridiculous, local story from the People’s Republic of Athens, Georgia: “Pellet gun lands UGA senior in jail on two felony charges” A University of Georgia student was arrested on weapons charges early Saturday after a UGA officer patrolling a campus parking lot spotted a recreational pellet gun in the student’s car, UGA police […]
(Hat tip: HR) Don’t miss John Leo’s piece, “Free Inquiry? Not on Campus.” Remember when the Right had a near-monopoly on censorship? If so, you must be in your sixties, or older. Now the champions of censorship are mostly on the left. And they are thickest on the ground in our colleges and universities. Since […]
In a nutshell, this is how the modern lynching machine functions: Between a perverse form of liberation feminism that sanctifies strippers, prostitutes and porn stars — and a dogma of victimology that places blame for all things at the feet of the white patriarchy — the players were instantaneously presumed guilty by virtue of their […]
(Hat tip: Our friend, George P. Burdell) Here’s a story that is fooling exactly…no one. The St. Petersburg Times is reporting that the principal of Hillsborough High School censored an article in the student paper in order to protect his poor, delicate students’ self-esteem. There’s only one problem: the principal is full of bullshit and […]
Here’s a rundown on the latest nonsense infesting post-modern, leftist, American universities. The anarchists and Marxist kids and profs at these re-education centers are hell-bent on destroying the First Amendment protections of free speech and expression, and they are succeeding on their commune-campuses. Michelle Malkin has an update from the recent riot at Columbia University […]
The ruckus at Columbia University has provided endless fodder for criticizing and rebuking the stupidity of modern, leftists American universities. We’ve further documented this here and here.

Matt Mireles, a junior at Columbia University, has this article in today’s New York Post, “Smug Rich Kids — White Guilt vs. Free Speech”. It’s worth a read and funny as well. COLUMBIA University is a place for rich kids – rich kids who agree with each other. Sure, some come from well-to-do Hispanic families […]
*** Scroll Down for Updates *** This is ridiculous: At the last minute, Columbia University rescinded the invitations of numerous people (75 – 120 estimated) who were, in many cases, in transit to hear Walid Shoebat speak. What gratuitous cowardice and rudeness the Columbia administration has engaged in so as to cover their weak-ass, non-response […]
A lot of attention has been given to last week’s incident of “Mob rule at Columbia University”, in which “activists” stormed the stage during a speech by the co-founder of the Minutemen Project, Jim Gilchrist. Powerline covered the event here, and the NYSun has coverage here, including this, The pandemonium that ensued as the evening’s […]

Want to speak at an American University? If so, Debbie Schlussel has some facts that you should consider. For example, are you a terrorist or supporter of known terrorist organizations? Good. Your next step is to pick a five figure speaking fee. However, if you’re a reformed terrorist who denounces terrorism and promotes peace, well, […]
