Claim: “Intellectual” Academics Are Fleeing Trump’s “Anti-intellectual” America. The Reality?

June 12, 2025

By Selwyn Duke “There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them,” noted legendary author George Orwell. What might be an example? Try this on for size: You’re a college professor who flees your country, claiming you fear loss of Academic Freedom™. This is even though it’s a place where you…
Bowing to Public Pressure, Tax-funded Colorado Sex Camp for Kids Is CANCELED

April 28, 2025

By Selwyn Duke It’s said that sunlight is the best disinfectant. It sure worked, too, with a Colorado abortion clinic that planned to host a free “sex-ed” summer camp that would have, among other things, taught kids about “gender” ideology and auto-eroticism. Geared toward fifth- through eighth-graders and hosted by the Boulder Valley Health Center…
Does Teaching Bible in Schools Make Kids More Moral and Mentally Healthy?

March 26, 2025

By Selwyn Duke While talking about “raising and training children” and “implanting” the proper “moral code,” a prominent politician had an interesting prescription. “The fundamental basis of this Nation’s law was given to Moses on the Mount,” he said. “The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings which we get from…
Trump Must Scrap Discriminatory, Anti-white Obama/Biden School Discipline Policies, Says Parents Group

March 13, 2025

By Selwyn Duke White students can be suspended and expelled from school at higher rates than Asian-descent students, and they are. Yet no one calls it discriminatory; in fact, almost nobody even mentions it. Boys can be suspended and expelled from school at higher rates than girls, and they are. Yet no one calls it…
Universities Get Rich Off Illegal Migrants; 408,000 Currently Enrolled

February 15, 2025

By Selwyn Duke If you want to know why academia is foursquare behind illegal migration, yes, follow the ideology. But you can also, perhaps, even more easily follow the money.

The Beast Lives On: DEI Is ALREADY Being Rebranded

February 3, 2025

By Selwyn Duke Just two weeks ago I warned, to echo Mark Twain, that rumors of DEI’s death are greatly exaggerated. While “the label ‘DEI’ is new, the product it identifies is more than half a century old,” I stated. … And make no mistake, its predicates are still embedded in our culture.” For this…

Liberal Magazine: “Colleges Are Lying to Their Students”

January 15, 2025

By Selwyn Duke If ever there were a sign that academia’s shtick is getting a bit stale, it’s when even a liberal magazine starts scoffing at its norms. This is what has happened, too, with the left-wing Atlantic warning that “colleges are lying to their students.” No, the outlet isn’t complaining about the various leftist isms pervading…
Colleges Are Cults “Teaching Victimhood” — and Twisting Minds

January 9, 2025

By Selwyn Duke “I was anxious. I felt guilty constantly. I couldn’t stop thinking about the whole white privilege thing.” This is what Lucy Kross got for her money as a Stanford University student (yearly tuition, room, and board: $76,312). She would eventually realize she’d been deceived and, it could be said, intellectually abused —…
Stereotypes or Reality? Study: 6-year-olds Believe Boys Are Better at Computing and Engineering

January 8, 2025

By Selwyn Duke Back in 2005, while explaining why so few women occupied top science positions, economist Lawrence Summers suggested it could partially have to do with “issues of intrinsic aptitude.” It was one reason why he was forced from his Harvard presidency position the next year. And if this standard still holds today, a…
