“Report: High School allows campus Christian Club to bully students about beliefs” [Darleen Click]

Swift Union High School in Dublin, Georgia, is facing infuriated parents after freshman students were reportedly singled out–with the tacit support of teachers–and humiliated if they didn’t subscribe to Christian religious beliefs. On January 29, students reported that members of the Christian Campus Crusade were allowed to take over all freshmen English classes at Swift Union High School to grill students about their personal beliefs and their parents’ personal beliefs

“To be bullied again would do the real harm to the Supreme Court.” [Darleen Click]

William Jacobson on the current Leftist campaign to keep ObamaCare sacrosanct — Now the media pressure is mounting on Obamacare II, the subsidy case the Court accepted this term. The issue is whether the statutory language of Obamacare permits subsidies (the only way Obamacare policies are affordable for most) on the federal exchange set up when most states refused. This issue of statutory interpretation is not exceptional legally, except that

“Columbia Student: I Didn’t Rape Her” [Darleen Click]

Cathy Young commits an act of actual journalism, Female Supremacist heads explode. Paul Nungesser was cleared of a rape charge but faced a harsh trial-by-media. Now, as new details come to light, he’s speaking out and fighting back. […] Paul Nungesser, a full-scholarship student from Germany, found himself at the center of a sexual-assault case that would eventually receive national media coverage and attract the attention of politicians and feminist

So.

I was reading Jim Geraghty’s “Morning Ace Quotes” column today and it occurred to me: a multitude of disparate voices aren’t really necessary any longer in a failed erstwhile constitutional republic like ours, especially so long as we have properly networked realists pointing out, to each other and in an endless feedback loop of links and retweets, should their barometers tell them the time is ripe, how, eg., the media

“Are gender roles a marker of true equality?” [Darleen Click]

Leftism, especially its wholly-owned subsidiary Feminism, wants to make all the decisions on how the little people should live their lives. Acknowledging that a greater percentage of women would like to stay home with their children and have a loving marriage with their children’s father than not is heretical. Ergo, Christina Hoff Sommers is a gender traitor and an evil tool of the Patriarchy.

UC Davis: “Moderate” Muslims heckle Jewish students. Proclaim “Israel will fall, insha’Allah” [Darleen Click]

Hamas on campus: Anti-Israel activists at the University of California, Davis heckled Jewish students and shouted “Allahhu Akbar” at them during a vote last week on a resolution endorsing a boycott of the Jewish state, according to video of the event obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. Activists waving Palestinian flags shouted at the Jewish and pro-Israel students as they left the meeting room ahead of an eight to two

Newspeak at UNC-Chapel Hill — Inclusive is Diverse [Darleen Click]

The Chancellor likes her dinner discussions to run the gamut from Left to far-Left. Last Tuesday, 40 student leaders from UNC-Chapel Hill were invited to discuss diversity and progress during a dinner hosted by Chancellor Carol Folt, Vice Chancellor Winston Crisp, and the Student Advisory Committee. Conservative leaders were entirely omitted from the guest list even though the school has a plethora of conservative organizations including College Republicans, The Carolina

A wonkish non-wonk’s thumbnail analysis of the Obama budget proposal

Has anyone checked to see if this guy is sitting in his office in a Che Guevera beret snorting coke on his non-golf days? I’m quite serious about this. The man is in need of some sort of intervention.

SuperBowl Sunday observations

1. Commercials: No, I don’t have a problem with Nationwide and their dead boy commercial. It was jarring, it was a buzzkill, and it may have pissed people off. But it’s Nationwide’s money, and — for all the negative feedback it’s getting as perhaps the worst SuperBowl ad in history — it has people talking, and most of them are only pretending to talk about how horrible and inappropriate it

“Swastikas sprayed on Jewish fraternity building near UC Davis campus” [Darleen Click]

Incident comes two days after the Associated Students of UC Davis passed an advisory resolution asking the regents participate in the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. Students at a UC Davis-affiliated Jewish fraternity house awoke Saturday morning to find two large swastikas spray painted onto their building. Nathaniel Bernhard, vice president of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, said the vandalism took place between 3 and 9 a.m. Saturday. He
