According to the Department of Education, “misgendering” a student could violate federal civil rights law. Last month, the Department’s Office for Civil Rights announced the resolution of its investigation of California’s Taft College for creating a hostile environment under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. OCR investigated the school after a male student was “misgendered” by his professors.

Why are so many conservatives bent out of shape about "cancel culture"? [supplemented, and orginal slightly edited] .... while all cultures engage in censorship to varying degrees, rather than a formal system of jurisprudence and judgments based upon a codified system of traditional basic morality, to perpetually offended liberals violations of the ever-morphing values of liberalism (such as gender being defined by feelings, vs. biology) that have come to dominate most of American cultural institutions are increasingly not those of anything remotely resembling an actual moral offense. And which has often resulted in what author Anne Applebaum describes: “Instead of...

The justices also vacated a 491-day sentence Bertram received for violating his probation in an unrelated case.

The implementation of LGBT ideology in the public school system, assisted by the takeover of the entertainment industry and the pushing of progressive politicians, has been phenomenally successful by any standard. When my first book The Culture War came out in 2016, less than five percent of the population identified as LGBT. That acronym has lengthened and scrambled (and will certainly continue to do so) as students are handed scores of sexual and gender identities that they can choose from, with the only boring and uncelebrated identity being “cisgender” or “heteronormative.” (“Cisgender,” according to trans activists, refers to someone who...

“As a psychology student in the early 80s I attended a lecture by John Money. He openly bragged about his “success” at gender reassignment and talked extensively about these twins. After the lecture we went to dinner at a local restaurant where I sat directly across from John Money and we had a conversation during which he constantly alluded to sexual acts, genitalia, odd attractions, and fetishes. It made me very uncomfortable as a young student which he seemed to enjoy. I remember it to this day. I am 62 years old. In my opinion this man was truly evil.”...
