Some young people, that is. Not nearly enough. For example, from an article in Tablet: UNC wasn’t the only school where the frat community rose to [Israel’s] defense—at Arizona State, frat boys helped the police dismantle a pro-Hamas encampment, ushering … Continue reading →
Hanson is always worth listening to, and this is no exception. I’m often struck by how well he sums up a situation and adds his own unique observations. This is long, but Hanson isn’t long-winded. He has a great deal … Continue reading →
Over thirty years ago, Allan Bloom used the phrase “dancing bears” to describe the capitulation of university professors to student threats of violence and the occupation of buildings. His original quote from The Closing of the American Mind involved the … Continue reading →

Minouche Shafik is president of Columbia University, and like the troika of other Ivy college presidents before her who testified before the House about campus anti-Semitism, she recently was interviewed by that legislative body. Shafik had the advantage of having … Continue reading →
