‘Kafkatrapping’ and the Left’s Mental Assault Against America’s Future

“In the hands of a skillful indoctrinator, the average student not only thinks what the indoctrinator wants him to think . . . but is altogether positive that he has arrived at his position by independent intellectual exertion. This man is outraged by the suggestion that he is the flesh-and-blood tribute to the success of […]

My Nightmare and @Andria_XX’s Reality

Sunday was spent with my wife and kids at her family reunion and, I don’t know, maybe I’m feeling deadline stress on this article about the Virginia gubernatorial campaign I’m supposed to be finishing up for the next print issue of The American Spectator. Anyway, I woke up this morning after having a horrible nightmare about […]

Washington Post Publishes Jailbait Apologist (Ain’t I Done Told You So?)

Besty Karasik is an airhead who quit her job as a laywer to become a painter. Whatever the art community gained by that transaction, the legal community lost no wisdom. In an op-ed in the Washington Post, Karasik argues for decriminalizing student-teacher sex: [W]ith our legal and moral codes failing us, our society needs to have […]

Hard Times for Gender Studies Major

Hilarity ensued Monday after @Andria_XX complained that social-media criticism of Miley Cyrus included “bodyshaming/slutshaming” and “heteropatriarchal crap.” Readers will recall that Andria has an “Honors BA in Social Justice and Peace Studies” and is pursuing a Master’s degree in Gender Studies.

Bitches Be Cray-Cray: A Heteropatriarchal Theory of Non-Transformative Justice

Otherwise known as the Anglo-American common-law tradition, I figure glitzing up the Rule of Law in fancy intellectual jargon might give it the academic oomph necessary to compete with this crazy crap: In the wake of the Trayvon Martin verdict, Chicago has seen several public events and workshops exploring its aftermath. On Aug. 15, queer […]

Public-School Graduate @abenedikt Attempts Persuasive Writing, Fails

Allison Benedikt hates Ken White at Popehat, but of course, so does Charles Carreon, and we don’t need to go there just yet. I digress . . . If You Send Your Kid to Private School, You Are a Bad Person That’s an interesting headline, which Allison Benedikt endeavors to justify without success, because she’s […]

LOL: @LaurelRConrad Smacks Liberal HuffPo Commenters With the Truth

You remember the Oberlin racism hoax (“Another God-Hating Anti-American Democrat Exposed as a Criminal Liar“) in which the perpetrator of that high-profile pseudo-hate-crime was revealed as an Obama supporter who hates God and hates America. Of course, all Democrats do, but I digress . . . Laurel Conrad reports the comic denouement: After the hoax […]

Family Terrorized as Michigan Teachers Support Colleague Who Molested Boy

Former middle-school teacher Neal Erickson, 38, pleaded guilty in May to having sex with a boy beginning in 2006 — when the boy was a 14-year-old eighth-grader — until 2009. His fellow teachers in Ogemaw County, Michigan, supported Erickson, writing letters to the judge asking for a lenient sentence. Any parent would be horrified by […]
