bill not only limited the ability of professors to protest termination decisions, it was also aimed at eliminating “diversity, equity, and inclusion” programs across the board. At the University of Florida the first round of tenure review has now produced some startling numbers, literally proving DeSantis’ claims. The report said that, out of...

Democrats and the left continue to lose their minds over Donald Trump's decision to name Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate. My

Is it reasonable to assume that low-information crackpots across the fruited plain might be impacted by such hateful, histrionic rhetoric? Of course, it is: it has happened throughout history.
