It pays to be gay…on many American campuses, especially Syracuse University. Well, one way to solve my health insurance woes (when you don’t march lockstep to the left agenda and have to work part-time and buy your own health insurance)…just get a “partner”! Oh, wait, no special consideration for single, heterosexual, conservative females. I forgot.

Morehouse English professor Stephane Dunn, writing in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution today, implores Morehouse men to pull up their pants and dress appropriately when they attend her class. I say ‘hurray’ to Morehouse for its new dress code and to Professor Dunn for speaking up.
Because she is a “sister,” Dunn is allowed to command her [...]

Bill Ayers brags in this video (see below) in the student paper that he sits on several dissertation committees at Georgia Southern. He’s visited dozens of times.

Yes, coming to the Decatur Library through the Georgia Center for the Book (a federal program).

What does Arne Duncan mean? Would it be a revolution away from the revolution, instituted by the likes of Bill Ayers? That would be a good thing. But the speech will be made at Columbia Teachers College, Ayers’ alma mater, and the epicenter for training teachers in bringing about the (communist) revolution, as I’ve written [...]

Here is one professor weighing in in a forum called “Brainstorm” on the number one issue facing America today: race, specifically, racism in the form of one isolated Justice of the Peace refusing to marry an interracial couple….and Rush Limbaugh. The professor in typical humorless fashion ignores the origins of the “magic negro” comment, and [...]

Inside Higher Ed reports that such factors as test scores, grades, and class rank played a less significant role in college admissions in 2008 than they did in 2007.
