This is willfully obtuse.

The complaint isn’t that people are studying race or inequality. It’s that certain conclusions are assured, that enforced political monoculture creates a bad epistemic environment; that shoddy work is given a pass for having the right political vibes.

This is what Sarah McBride and Mike Flood teamed up to deliver.

They fight publicly over the culture wars, then team up behind closed doors to help Wall Street pick your pockets while you are distracted.

Wow, just like Noah Baumbach's mom and dad in the '80s

Another Berkeley professor told the author:

“In my second-year engineering class, a student asked me to explain why 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6…. The lecture had to stop while I explained fractions.”

An anti-academic freedom center is being formed with the goal of destroying intellectual diversity at universities including new civic centers. Just listen

[Phil Magness @PhilWMagness]

The people who have no answer to overwhelming evidence that academia is skewed to the political left invariably respond to it by accusing anyone who points it out of being funded by nefarious "dark money."

Quite a few of them also like to cosplay as beleaguered academic proletariats, even though most college professors are neither "low wage" nor temporary workers - in fact they enjoy a comfortable middle class median salary.

35 pages a week - for a Berkeley student. So 5 pages a day. You might as well hand out crayons and coloring books - and just say ‘do whatever you want, you’re paying for this. We will give you the piece of paper in 4 years and good luck to you!’

[John Sailer @JohnDSailer]

NEW: The Mellon Foundation gave $1.5 million to establish a "center for the defense of academic freedom."

In audio I've obtained, the group's leader says his goal is to undermine the newly launched classical civics centers: "map who these f---ers are... and knock them out." 🧵

[Robert P. George @McCormickProf]

Proximity to power is like a drug. One who experiences it comes to crave it. It creates a powerful temptation to sycophancy or to "adjusting" one's views or public witness to ensure that one retains or regains "access" and the status attaching to it. A soul-imperiling danger.

BREAKING: Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who helped rig the 2016 Democratic primary against Bernie Sanders, is now trying to take over a majority-Black congressional district despite local Black leaders begging her not to run.

[Bold City Beat @BoldCityBeat]

In 1888, President Grover Cleveland visited Jacksonville during the Sub-Tropical Exposition.

The presidential procession traveled through Downtown Jacksonville in horse-drawn carriages.

In just a few months, the city would be brought to its knees by the Yellow Fever epidemic.
