As Americans fight China’s land-buying spree across the US, the capture of the nation’s highest intellectual resources continues unabated. Courting foreign dollars with little regard for the compromises such dealings inevitably bring has become business as usual for American academia, and efforts to provide some urgently needed sunlight have just been dealt a setback. The […]

Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association (NEA), recently gave a keynote address in Philadelphia, where nearly 7,000 delegates listened to her advocate for President Joe Biden and bellow about needing to win “all the things,” especially amplifying diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Ubiquitously mocked on the Internet, Pringle’s speech was rife with animated […]

You’ve just graduated college, what are you going to do next? Move out of California seems to be the common answer to that question today.

The pro-Palestine college protests across the nation have caused disruption and unease.

Americans have fully woken up to the harsh reality that their nation’s top geopolitical foe, China, has established a firmly planted enormous business footprint within the interior of the United States.

President Joe Biden insists that canceling student loan debt is essential to install his Bidenomics vision of growing the economy through the middle out and bottom up. White House data and economic analyses highlight that these forgiveness efforts create massive price tags for cash-strapped US taxpayers.

It has been four years since the COVID panic that disrupted so many lives. People lost jobs, businesses, and homes. We were not able to see loved ones in the hospital or even attend funerals.

One struggling school district in California invested $250,000 in a for-profit organization that instructs teachers how to influence kindergarten children to be woke – as promised in its propaganda publications — in order “to disrupt whiteness.” How that assists children with literacy or numeracy concerns parents and teachers alike, as the three-year program has produced […]

College campuses have historically been cauldrons of political unrest, but what is happening to Jewish students now is downright frightening – for them and their parents. What began with a few pro-Palestinian campus protests has grown into alarming scenarios for young people of Jewish heritage. […]

Is a college degree important? That question has been bantered around for decades, with the biggest contention being whether the cost for education is worth it.
