From Ex Corde Ecclesiae (1990). Although he passed away last weekend, Pope John Paul II continues to speak to generations through the timeless truths in his writings.
Perspectives
Progressive Censorship at UC-Santa Cruz
It is hard to find a better recent case of political correctness gone insane than what happened at the University of California at Santa Cruz in early March.
Campus Cowards
Liberals are the first to say that campuses are places that embrace the free and open debate of ideas. Now it would appear there is more ammo to back up the old assertion that this is false.
The Black and Hispanic Graduation Problem
Instead of putting out false statistics that mask the failure of public education, state officials should be pushing model schools like the American Indian Public Charter School. For the sake of our children, it’s time to be honest and implement what works.
Teaching Peace
There’s nothing like a war to solidify our nation’s teachers with the far left.
Questions for the Women’s Studies Department
I have had several friends who have taken Women’s Studies courses—and have all regretted it.
Catholic Academicians and Capital Punishment
The debate about capital punishment on the nation’s campuses is much like the debate about abortion. Only one viewpoint is presented—the politically correct one. It is indicative of the type of tendentious scholarship that is all too common in academia.
The Silencing of Hans Hoppe
Has academia become so politicized that teaching good economics, and using politically sensitive illustrations, can lead to threats, fines, penalties, demotion and worse? It certainly seemed so in early February when Hans-Hermann Hoppe received an egregious letter from the Provost of his university.
Allegiance Pledged
This may be America, but it hasn’t stopped one school from broadcasting the Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish.
Dominion Brain Drain
The Democratic governor of Virginia and the top Republican in that state’s Senate recently agreed on a tax hike to prop up the Old Dominion’s colleges and universities that may turn out to be a multi-billion dollar mistake.
