Are campus leftists getting dumber? It sure seems that way. For example, a black activist stabbed four students yesterday at the University of Texas, murdering one. That's just kind of vile and moronic. The trend is the reverse of a half century ago when the radicals tended to outwit the ...
Lately, American higher education is notoriously prone to tantrums. Two more academic meltdowns last week raise connected questions: First, are scholars allowed to suggest any explanation for racial disparities other than that White People Are Bad? Second, if they can"t say anything heretical ...
American academia markets itself as progressive if not downright radical. For example, here's a self-description by an assistant professor of Critical Identity Studies at Beloit College: She intervenes in popular visual media like reality television to interrogate how time moves and for whom to ...
Just as the 21st century has witnessed the paradox of the rhetoric of white privilege and the reality of white death, we"ve also seen increasing black privilege, but with the benefits flowing mostly to the whitest of blacks. The ongoing flight from white helps those blacks who are almost but ...

Get Out, a remarkably racist kill-the-white-people horror movie that makes Django Unchained seem like My Dinner With Andre, is the box office and critical smash of the winter. Made for less than $5 million, this film about vicious whites plotting to enslave blacks by implanting their cunning ...
The ongoing Oroville Dam crisis has received modest national attention, in part because the press hasn"t figured out how to blame it on Trump. Moreover, attributing the surfeit of water to global warming, the only other respectable choice, seems inane. But the history of California water ...
