The ever-increasing government footprint in higher education means that taxpayers end up financing ever more moonbattery like the Whiteness Forum hosted at Cal State San Marcos last Thursday: A “white beauty standard” display stated “we are studying the white hegemonic ideals of the beauty industry.” Another asked “who does whiteness say that you are,” noting […]

The disease is spreading. It isn’t just liberal arts–oriented colleges that encourage students to prepare for exams by reducing their stress with puppies and coloring books. Now flakey infantilization reaches even into military academies. The oldest state-sponsored military college in the country is the Virginia Military Institute, founded in 1839. It offers something called Stress […]

As Big Government becomes ever more committed to seeing that as many as possible attend college regardless of their likeliness to benefit, tuition has shot into the stratosphere. Unfortunately, there has not been a corresponding rise in the quality of education. But at least colleges are expanding into new areas — like encouraging increasingly infantilized […]

This is what happens when children reach physical if not mental adulthood without ever receiving needed spankings or even hearing the word “no”: Protesting students at George Washington University say forcing them to be protected by campus police is akin to an “act of violence” — because police officers support Donald Trump. The students have […]

To meet the needs of snowflakes extending their childhoods by hiding away from reality on today’s campuses, universities have been providing toddler therapy: Teddy bears, Play-Doh and coloring books are staples of nursery schools, but now they are showing up on college campuses to help distraught students cope with the election of a president they […]

George Orwell meant to warn us against totalitarians. Instead, he provided totalitarians with instructions. Especially useful to them was this observation: To impose their dystopia, progressives have to use their control of the present to destroy America’s past. Where they have achieved the most total control — academia — this is carried out the most […]

Slavery was nearly ubiquitous in every corner of the world from the beginning of human history until it was largely eradicated relatively recently thanks almost entirely to the efforts of Europeans and Americans. Yet given the extent to which public schools have become more interested in maintaining ignorance than in educating, this comes as no […]

The above title was taken from an actual scholarly article published in the journal GeoHumanities. Here’s the abstract: This article examines the symbolic whiteness associated with pumpkins in the contemporary United States. Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte, a widely circulated essay in McSweeney’s on “Decorative Gourd Season,” pumpkins in aspirational lifestyle magazines, and the reality television […]

Teacher June Kendall is accused of seducing and sleeping with not just one, but two students of hers… and doing so on the same day. Kendall allegedly started the seduction by sending the students pictures of herself through Snapchat. Prosecutors say the photos became more sexual as the conversations went on, with photos showing Kendall […]

It’s a wonder anyone learns even the basics in the zoo cages that are passed off as classrooms in inner city public schools. In South Africa, this now pertains at the university level. Learning anything other than Third World leftist revolutionary tactics is hard and getting harder: A meeting intended to seek solutions to the […]

After the Frankfurt School escaped Nazi Germany, it settled at Columbia University. There it developed cultural Marxism, a strategy explicitly intended to destroy Western Civilization so that it might be replaced by a leftist utopia designed by masterminds. The strategy entails stoking the grievances of alienated minority groups and playing them off against the core […]

James Madison University is named after the Father of the Constitution, making its repressive speech codes a travesty: Student leaders of this year’s freshman orientation at James Madison University were given a list of 35 things they should avoid saying, including phrases such as “you have such a pretty face,” “love the sinner, hate the […]

Duke University, home of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Hoax, now features a program to help students hate themselves for being men: The Women’s Center is launching a new initiative focused on redefining masculinity for Duke men. The Duke Men’s Project is a nine-week long, storytelling-based program starting Wednesday that aims to discuss masculinity, feminism and […]

The latest fad on increasingly infantilized college campuses is ball pits: Saint Mary’s College of California will bring a ball pit to campus on Oct. 3, as part of its Mental Health Awareness and Campus of Caring Week. This is not a bizarre aberration, but part of a growing trend. Last semester, the University of […]

Even now it is still possible for public school teachers to push progressivism a little too far, a little too fast: A history teacher in Cumberland County [North Carolina] was placed on paid administrative leave Tuesday after coming under fire for stepping on the U.S. flag as part of a lesson on the First Amendment.
