As George Orwell predicted in 1984, word by word they reduce our vocabulary, thereby reducing our ability to think outside the boundaries that they designate. It was bad enough when they declared we could no longer use the word “retarded” lest it offend people with low mental capacity. Now, according to Jenny Crofton at Everyday […]

Emory University Department of Psychology Professor Scott Lilienfeld had better already have tenure. Looks like he has wandered off the reservation: After reviewing many studies on the topic, Dr. Lilienfeld argues in his paper “Microaggressions: Strong Claims, Inadequate Evidence” that microaggressions lack scientific proof, and therefore should not be included in workplace or campus diversity […]

Mexico City thought it would be a good idea to install a “penis seat” on the subway as a means of bringing attention to the number of women who experience sexual harassment on that particular method of transport. Not everyone thought this was the greatest way to bring it to the attention of the public. […]

If you see something on a college campus that crudely advances a politically incorrect point of view, it would be naive in the extreme to take it at face value. For example, consider posters like this one, which appeared at Gustavus Adolphus College in Saint Peter, Minnesota: Students promptly reported the posters to the Thought […]

Cheerios should have left off its moonbatty virtue signaling after parent company General Mills spent $zillions to promote interracial marriage during the Super Bowl a couple years back. Instead, it had to save the bees: The brand recently announced that it would mail out free wildflower seeds as part of its “Save the Bees” campaign. […]

You might have thought that campus moonbats would rest for a while after pushing their whiny ideology to what seemed to be the last extreme of self-parody with the concept of microaggressions. But progressives always find a way to progress. Now they are railing against “microinequities”: Carnegie Mellon University … has produced a guide for […]

Cardiff Metropolitan University in Wales has taken a leading role in reforming Newspeak by publishing a list of 34 terms that must no longer be used, along with the terms we must use instead so as not to fall into thoughtcrime: Term – Suggested alternative “Best man for the job” – Best person for the […]

Once universities pushed back ignorance to advance science. Now they are better known for pushing back liberty to advance political correctness. But at least they are taking the lead in eradicating examples of “bias” like the tradition of associating colors with genders. From Campus Reform: Syracuse University has launched a “STOP Bias” campaign warning students […]

It isn’t only Muslims who benefit from the servile Islamophilia that has been so prevalent in New York City since 9/11/01. The moonbattery has spilled over onto Sikhs, who are no longer so oppressed as to not be able to wear full regalia while working for the NYPD. Current regulations forbid beards and nonregulation headgear… […]

Cultural Marxist balkanization is an effective strategy for destroying a society, but useless for creating a new one on the ashes of the old. Last month’s University of California Students of Color Conference demonstrates why. UCLA student Jacqueline Alvarez reports: [An] example of safe spaces gone wrong was the 2016 Students of Color Conference held […]

Totalitarianism arises when fanatics believe their ideology can be applied to every aspect of existence. For example, here is how Sweden applies moonbattery to snow removal: A “feminist” strategy for clearing the roads of snow in Stockholm ended in failure as the city ground to a halt in recent days. A new system, suggested by […]

In an age of pure moonbattery, equality means that some animals are less equal than others. For example, men are less equal than women: [A] Manhattan pharmacy announced on Monday that they will be hitting their male customers with an extra seven percent “man tax”—get this—in the name of “equality.” Jolie Alony, the owner of […]

University of Wisconsin–Lacrosse helpfully offered a costume review to help you determine whether your Halloween costume is a thought crime. But what if it’s your dog whose costume is politically incorrect? “Is Your Dog’s Halloween Costume Sexist?” asked the headline of a Washington Post piece—not a satire, not even a bit of Style section fluff, […]
