"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Does UMass-Dartmouth Have a Department of Crazy Foreigners?

What kind of university would enroll Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the marijuana-smoking terrorist who grinned after placing a bomb next to an eight-year-old boy? The University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, which also enrolled Dzhokhar’s buddies Dias Kadyrbayev, Azamat Tazhayakov and Robel Phillipos, who perhaps deserve recognition as the Three Stooges of Terrorism: A month before the April 15 […]

‘A History of Psychiatric Problems’

The California math teacher was arrested last summer: The charges against 36-year-old Amber Lee Failla include unlawful sexual intercourse, oral copulation with minors and contacting a minor with the intent to commit a sexual offense, according to Kern County Superior Court records. . . . California City police said their investigation into Failla began when […]

University Logo as Rorschach Inkblot

Instapundit calls our attention to the case of a feminist student at the University of Connecticut who saw rape in the school’s revamped logo for its Huskies sports program.

Teachers systematically changed students’ answers on standardized tests, erasing wrong answers and changing them to the right ones, and the deception went all the way to […]

Harvard Abandons America (Or: Ted Kaczynski Is Not ‘Anti-Intellectual’)

What has been well-known for years is now official policy: Conservatives need not apply at Harvard University. This is really full-circle Back to the Future stuff, because the American conservative movement can be said to have properly begun in 1951 with the publication of William F.

The Homophobolicious Flavor of Hate™

Last summer, during the absurd Chick-fil-A boycott, my teenage son Jefferson coined the word “homophobolicious” to describe the yummy sandwiches.
