Entering a modern government college campus is like entering a concentration camp.

America’s colleges and universities have become dens of extreme pro-government, socialist sentiment where diverse views critical of the omnipotent state are generally shunned. Wesleyan University in Connecticut is typical. Although Wesleyan is a private, religiously-affiliated school, federal government dollars flow freely through the institution, and the University’s campus culture exemplifies the extremist and government-supremacist ideology …

America’s colleges are the least free places in the country. Virtually every major American university–and perhaps every GOVERNMENT university–provides a campus upon which opinions which challenge or criticize the state or the state’s government-focused theology are suppressed. Surveys show that college students overwhelmingly indicate fear of holding non-government-approved opinions. See this video by Greg Lukianoff …

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has surveyed America’s colleges and found that 55 percent of them impose speech restrictions on students. See their website. These colleges clearly and substantially restrict freedom of speech, purport to censor “offensive speech” (meaning, generally any antigovernment thought), or restrict “free speech” to a campus “zone.” FIRE’s …

Many people have noticed that today’s legal profession is overwhelmingly composed of trusters of expansive government. Where are the Jeffersons, the Lord Camdens and the George Masons of today? One reason why the public cannot find lawyers to challenge government power is the law school industry. Today’s law schools are overwhelmingly staffed by professors who …

Barnhart told students they were forbidden from starting a chapter of the free market advocacy student group Turning Point USA (TPUSA) on campus. Barnhart reportedly told a student that she (the student) …

Publicly Owned universities are premised on two arguments: (1) that such schools meet the needs of the poor in ways that private schools do not, and (2) that such schools allow more free exchange of ideas in ways that private (often religious) schools do not. Both claims have been shattered by known data. Government colleges …

We previously reported that the University of California system–a government network subject to the free-speech provisions of the Constitution–was proposing a university-wide speech code that banned “intolerant” “expressions.” See here. On Thursday, Sept. 17 (ironically, “Constitution Day”), the proposal was the subject of a large public meeting. According to F.I.R.E. (the Foundation for Individual Rights …

As shown previously (see here), America’s government colleges and universities have become Orwellian thought-control zones where wide-scale discrimination and repression of libertarian and anti-government thought are routinely practiced. Now another government college, the College of DuPage in Illinois, has been caught falsely telling libertarian protesters that they have no constitutional right to hand out pro-freedom …

We’ve seen this coming for a long time. Governmental Correctness codes at public colleges have been repeatedly struck down as unconstitutional by courts; yet the socialist-totalitarians who command and control America’s government universities continue to seek to enact speech censorship codes to suppress suspicion or distrust of expansive government or its sacred theology. Marxism and …

An astounding op-ed “review” appeared in yesterday’s (Sunday, Sept. 12, 2015) edition of the New York Times. Timothy Snyder, a professor of history at Yale University, wrote what is apparently a summary of his new book: “Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning.” The review is here. The Amazon link to the book is …
