Banning the AFD would make them stronger

Matt Goodwin writes: There’s a national election. The mainstream parties do badly. They are challenged by an insurgent party that seems more in touch with the country.  The mainstream parties then form a coalition, with no plan other than to keep themselves in power and the insurgent party out of power.  Then, the intelligence services in that […]

“We Study Fascism…We’re Leaving the U.S.”: The NY Times Runs Video of Yale Professors Fleeing to Canada

The New York Times continues to work tirelessly to maintain the narrative that the United States is now a fascist regime. Earlier, the Times demonstrated its view of balanced analysis by running a collection of legal opinions titled “A Road Map to Trump’s Lawless Presidency.” Now, it is featuring three Yale professors fleeing fascism for […]

Oregon Law Professor Accuses Oregon Law Review of Anti-Israeli Discrimination

The University of Oregon has long faced controversies over the alleged political bias on its campuses, including celebrating the career of a professor who physically attacked pro-life students as a model of activism.

Misguided branch of British Medical Association rejects UK’s Supreme Court decision that “woman” is defined by biological sex

As I reported two weeks ago, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom voted unanimously to affirm that the term “woman” under the legal Equality Act refers only to biological women and not trans-identified men. That means that a biological male holding a gender reassignment certificate would not have the same legal status as a […]

Auckland Uni students react to Treaty ‘indoctrination’

Compulsory first-year courses come under fire. Graham Adams writes –  This year, the University of Auckland launched mandatory courses focused on a particular view of New Zealand history, Te Tiriti, and indigenous “knowledge systems”— which is to say mātauranga Māori — for all first-year students.  It doesn’t matter whether you’re studying engineering, accounting, science or arts, you […]

Weak Essay? Student Rejected by Top Universities Despite Near Perfect Scores and $30 Million App

After the Supreme Court declared an end to the use of race criteria in college admissions, many administrators pledged to find a way around the decision.

Crimson Chide: Harvard Makes the Case Against Itself

Below is my column in The Hill on Harvard faculty organizing in opposition to the Trump Administration’s measures targeting the university for failure to protect Jewish students and its lack of diversity of viewpoints on campus. Despite being a vocal critic of Harvard’s culture of orthodoxy, I have encouraged the Administration to moderate some of […]

It shouldn’t take a Minister for common sense to prevail

Radio NZ reports: The coalition has directed Health New Zealand to say “women” instead of “pregnant people” in its communications about health issues. Associate Health Minister Casey Costello wrote to interim chief executive Dr Dale Bramley on 27 March, telling the agency to use “clear language”. “Recent documents that have reached my office from the […]

Mantrums prove women rights needed

The UK Supreme Court’s declaration that give women back their rights to dignity, privacy and safety have led to mantrums that prove why these rights are needed: Rejoice!

“When Must We Kill Them?”: George Mason Student Captures the Growing Violent Ideation on the Left

There is controversy at George Mason University after Nicholas Decker, an economics PhD student published an essay asking “When Must We Kill Them?” in reference to Trump and his supporters.

Imagine if he did this to a left wing MP?

Pere Huriwai-Seger is a Te Pāti Māori candidate. He saw Casey Costello in a foodcourt and proceeded to berate her. Casey politely said “We’re not going to agree, so just move on”. But this guy then seats herself down at her table so he can continue to harass her. Once someone has asked you to […]

German Editor Sentenced and Fined for Satirical Picture of Interior Minister

We previously discussed the case of  Deutschland-Kurier editor David Bendels who published a satirical meme of Interior Minister Nancy Faeser holding an altered sign that read “I hate freedom of speech.” Ironically, the sign was believable given the anti-free speech positions of Faeser and the German government. Faeser, however, went ballistic. In a country that routinely arrests […]

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
