They told us in the US that students identifying as animals was a hoax. If it’s happening in the UK, does anyone really believe it’s not happening here? Difficult as it may be to believe, children at a school in East Sussex were reprimanded last week for refusing to accept a classmate’s decision to self-identify as a cat. The Year 8 pupils were told they would be reported to a senior...

Western Kentucky Regents refuse to fire “racist” tenured professor
A really surprising outcome, given that the president of university wanted to fire her for “incompetency.” If you read the article very carefully, you’ll see that they took a couple of semesters of poor teaching evaluations and turned that into her suddenly being incompetent at her job.

Pronoun battle ends with a win
Turns out leftist ideology has a fatal flaw when it comes to public institutions. The leftists keep pushing this mantra of how fundamentally flawed our society is, in essence making a political argument about race and gender.

Why DEI must be opposed in education

Student receives praise for bogus paper on how milk is a ‘colonizer’ of coffee
A college student in Sweden recently decided to take a class on critical race theory as a joke, and then added to the fun by turning in a hoax paper. Arvid Haag signed up for “Critical Whiteness Perspectives on Nordic Culture” at Stockholm University because, he said, “local pandemic grant rules had equipped him and other students with an unexpected financial aid windfall.” Haag thought he’d “get...
