Higher Ed corruption

 Daily Signal: President Donald Trump stated yesterday that a broad settlement with Harvard University was near at hand. But the determination of solid blue college administrations and faculties to thwart Trump’s policies to combat antisemitism and racial discrimination in admissions and to reduce the cost of higher education means that Harvard and, before it, Columbia University, will just be the beginning. To better combat the corruption of higher education, we must understand the lengths to which these schools will go in abandoning principle and academic integrity in their pursuit of protecting their havens of left-wing ideology. And there is no better place to start than the letter prompted by the president’s investigation of Harvard . ...

Texas teachers who supported Kirk assignation could lose jobs

Abbott, in a statement, condemned the educators' actions as "abhorrent" and said Texas would not tolerate teachers who "use their platforms to incite violence." ...
