Secularist lawyers want only their religion recognized by corporations and law. I was completely nonplussed when I saw this brief filed by 44 law professors in the appeal now pending before the U.S. Supreme Court in Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., Case No. 13-354.

“Let’s give up on academic freedom in favor of justice” [Darleen Click]

If our university community opposes racism, sexism, and heterosexism, why should we put up with research that counters our goals simply in the name of “academic freedom”? Instead, I would like to propose a more rigorous standard: one of “academic justice.” When an academic community observes research promoting or justifying oppression, it

“Quiet campaigning for House GOP leadership underway”
Boehner’s got his nest egg and his future on K-Street assured. Plus he’s got that swanky new Florida condo, so he can use the sun from time to time instead of relying on a tanning bed to keep his healthy orange complexion. So. Who’s going to lead “us” next? House Republicans have begun jockeying for leadership positions in the next Congress, anticipating the possibility that Speaker John Boehner could step

The State will define your “information rights” [Darleen Click] UPDATED
On the heels of the rather stunning decision of the FCC to send government agents into newsrooms across the country to “study” “perceived station bias”, supporters of this unConstitutional move have discovered a new “right” … Is the @FCC trespassing upon press freedom or defending our info rights?
