According to a recent ‘diversity plan’ prepared by the University of Wisconsin at Madison, the university plans to push for ‘proportional participation’ of minorities in all aspects of the university — including, but not limited to, ‘the distribution of grades.’ This may be as benign as a some minority-targeted tutoring programs,...

You heard it here first: Professors at UC Riverside have been given a grant to “explore ethnic futurisms” because “there has long been an unacknowledged tradition of SF written by people of color.” This is obviously true, because science fiction has surely never addressed the social problems of its day...

In addition to reducing the number of on-campus designated smoking zones to zero, Ohio University plans to institute a number of possibly mandatory courses on quitting smoking, which may be forced upon students found disobeying the campus-wide ban. I guess the “my body, my decision” mantra only applies when the University...

In April, approximately 10 percent of the Bowdoin female population (about 100 women) agreed to pose nude for a photo exhibit meant to ’empower’ them. How exactly does having your naked body on display for anyone to see make anyone more ’empowered’? You got me on that one.

In the 1970s and 1980s, many gay rights activists and organizations — including the International Gay and Lesbian Association — supported and marched with NAMBLA, which (as you’d know if you’ve watched South Park) stands for the North American Man/Boy Love Association: quite literally, advocates for paedophiles.
