University of Missouri Medical School Could Lose Accreditation for Failure to Meet Diversity Quotas

Posted on by Dave Blount

Surely there is some point where Affirmative Action leaves off and sanity begins. Would the government dictate that a certain percentage of heart surgeons must be black, even if that means subjecting the public to incompetent surgeons? Actually, it probably would, to judge from this story: STAT, a national publication that covers health, medicine and […]

 

Victims of Communism Day

Posted on by Dave Blount

Ilya Somin reminds us why we have to be especially sure to acknowledge Victims of Communism Day today: This year is a particularly important time to remember the victims of Communism because of the approaching one hundredth anniversary of the October Revolution – Bolshevik takeover of Russia. The Soviet Union was not the most oppressive […]

 

Education Professor Wants to Push Queer Theory in Elementary School

Posted on by Dave Blount

Consider the malevolent freaks who dominate the field of education, and then weep for the future: A science education professor at the University of Arizona believes elementary schoolchildren are being taught “heteronormative” and “limited” ideas in science classrooms, and queer theory and sexuality-infused curricula [are] the answer. An example of heteronormative science would be teaching […]

 

ESPN’s Deserved Demise

Posted on by Dave Blount

The bad news is that there is a cable channel even more obnoxiously left-wing than MSNBC. The good news is that largely as a result of its arrogant in-your-face moonbattery, ESPN is going down. This week there has been a bloodbath at ESPN, with about 100 employees cut: Familiar faces like Ed Werder, Danny Kanell, […]

 

College Hires White Sociology Prof, Crybullies Rage

Posted on by Dave Blount

If a coach who just won a state championship can barely hold onto his job as a result of being white, think how rough it could be for a white sociology professor: Students at Pomona College have published a demand letter urging administrators to rescind their offer to hire Sociology Professor Alice Goffman because she’s […]

 

Study Confirms That CO2 Is Not a Pollutant

Posted on by Dave Blount

Possibly the most tyrannical ruling ever issued by the Supreme Court was the 2007 declaration that the emission of carbon dioxide can be regulated by the federal government under the Clean Air Act. This decree potentially subjects literally all human and even animal activity — including breathing — to federal micromanagement through the notoriously autocratic […]

 

Dems Push to Criminalize Treatment of Psychosexual Illnesses

Posted on by Dave Blount

The slippery slope couldn’t get much steeper. First, we were told to tolerate sickness. Soon, we will be forbidden by federal law to treat it: Democratic lawmakers reintroduced a bill on Tuesday that would ban conversion therapy nationwide, a controversial practice that seeks to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. The practice is […]

 

Former Boy Scout Troop Leader Arrested for Sex With Boys

Posted on by Dave Blount

The Boy Scouts of America represented wholesomeness, normalcy, and traditional values, so of course it had to be destroyed, lest the organization impede the imposition of liberal utopia. Relentless political pressure was applied until BSA knuckled under and agreed to send young boys into the woods with openly not to say belligerently homosexual troop leaders. […]

 

Parent Plus Loans: Mortgage Crisis 2.0

Posted on by Dave Blount

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. As part of its mission to redistribute wealth and impose equality, the government loans out $zillions to people who probably won’t be able to pay it back. When the bills come due, economic chaos results. I’m not talking about the mortgage crisis that came to a head […]

 

Lindsey Graham, Trial Lawyers’ Poodle

Posted on by Dave Blount

Under our insane and grotesquely unjust system of jackpot justice, individuals, businesses, and even whole industries can be looted to the point of ruin out of sheer sociopathic greed, like the victims of pirates or Vikings in the days of yore. As a consequence, we live in terror of being sued, making life less free […]

 

The Gospel as “Fighting Words”

Posted on by Dave Blount

If you doubt that progressives will ban any expression of Christianity once they have the political leverage, look to academia, where they have already established nearly total hegemony: Georgia Gwinnett College tried to dispel a First Amendment lawsuit by claiming that it removed a preacher from campus because his discussion of the Gospels “rose to […]

 

College Students Taught Differences Between Furries and Pet Play

Posted on by Dave Blount

Despite higher education having succumbed utterly to the cultural Marxist march through the institutions, students are still learning something. They are learning what moonbats want them to learn: A discussion scheduled for later this month at California State University San Marcos appears slated to delve into the wild world of animal-based sex fetishes. The event, […]

 

Student Activists Demand Action Against Conservative Journalists, Denounce the Notion of Truth as Racist

Posted on by Dave Blount

The hostility of activist students toward fundamental liberties like free speech has spilled over onto other central pillars of civilization — including the notion of truth: In an open letter to outgoing Pomona College President David Oxtoby, a group of students from the Claremont Colleges assail the president for affirming Pomona’s commitment to free speech […]

 

Glamorization of Transsexual Derangement Ruins Young Lives

Posted on by Dave Blount

The media blitzkrieg to glamorize all things transgender has had an effect Down Under: Children think it’s cool to be transgender and they’re trying the self-identity out in droves, claims an Australian psychiatrist. Psychiatrist Stephen Stathis, who runs the gender clinic at Brisbane’s Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital and is responsible for diagnosing gender dysphoria, reports […]

 

Leftist Billionaire Tom Steyer Outspends Soros

Posted on by Dave Blount

Democrats tell us that we must hate the rich. Yet they are the rich: Most people who pay attention to politics assume that George Soros is the largest financier of leftist election candidates. While he may have the largest non-profit funding network, Soros is not the person who spent the most directly helping candidates through […]

 

PBS Produces Pro-Terrorist Lesson Plan for Children

Posted on by Dave Blount

Taxpayer-funded PBS is not content to pump children’s heads full of moonbattery only when they are at home watching TV. After all, parents might come in and turn the channel. Presenting the “Dying to Be a Martyr” lesson plan: The “Dying to be a Martyr” lesson plan is offered through PBS’ LearningMedia website, “a media-on-demand […]

 

Why Tesla’s Market Cap Exceeds GM’s

Posted on by Dave Blount

I was astonished when I read that Tesla had exceeded General Motors in market cap to become the USA’s most valuable carmaker. After all, GM sells cars by the zillions, whereas Tesla squirts out a handful of prohibitively expensive electric moonbatmobiles for liberal virtue signalers who have more dollars than sense. But then I remembered […]

 

MIT Publishes Children’s Book Promoting Communism

Posted on by Dave Blount

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has traditionally been associated with the brightest minds in constructive fields like engineering. But now, like most of academia, it is succumbing to moonbattery: MIT Press is out with a new book that teaches children the tenets of Karl Marx with fairy tales. Communism for Kids, written by a German […]

 

White Supremacist of Color Menaces Nepali–Indian Store

Posted on by Dave Blount

When criminals leave notes identifying themselves as “White America,” police can begin their investigation by ruling out white suspects: Charlotte police say a possible hate crime incident in which a threatening letter was left outside a Nepali-Indian grocery store last week signed “White America” has led to the arrest of a black man. Police have […]

 

More Reminders That Global Warming Is Good

Posted on by Dave Blount

Too bad liberal climate change ideology is bunk. If economic activity really did warm the weather significantly, it would be an added benefit of the productivity enabled by economic freedom. Again we see that global warming is good: A new study published in the highly influential journal Nature suggests rising global temperatures during the 19th […]
