The so-called top law schools are nothing like they were when I attended one. There was already a leftist element back then, but it probably consisted of less than a quarter of the faculty. The courses were relatively non-political, too, … Continue reading →
I’ve seen lots of articles lately of this sort: More than HALF (56.3%) of liberal white women age 18-29 have been diagnosed with a mental health condition. That’s more than DOUBLE the percentage (27.3%) of conservative white women in the … Continue reading →
Commenter “OBloodyHell” opines, in the Naomi Wolf thread: I do not believe you were truly “liberal” beforehand, Neo. I suspect you always had a part of your mind filled with doubt, conscious and unconscious of certain inconsistencies. Depends what you … Continue reading →
