Homogeneous: The Political Affiliations of Elite Liberal Arts College Faculty | National Association of Scholars

Homogeneous: The Political Affiliations of Elite Liberal Arts College Faculty | National Association of Scholars:

"In this article I offer new evidence about something readers of Academic Questions already know: The political registration of full-time, Ph.D.-holding professors in top-tier liberal arts colleges is overwhelmingly Democratic. 

Indeed, faculty political affiliations at 39 percent of the colleges in my sample are Republican free—having zero Republicans. 

The political registration in most of the remaining 61 percent, with a few important exceptions, is slightly more than zero percent but nevertheless absurdly skewed against Republican affiliation and in favor of Democratic affiliation. 

Thus, 78.2 percent of the academic departments in my sample have either zero Republicans, or so few as to make no difference..."

Before Tuesday election, compare property tax rates in your Michigan county | MLive.com:
"As you consider property tax requests, you may wonder how your property tax rate compares to others in your county.
It's a more complicated question than you may think, since many cities and townships have multiple school districts in within their boundaries, and villages add another layer of taxation.
...In addition, communities have two property tax rates: the homestead rate for owner-occupied owners and a higher nonhomestead rate for commercial properties and second homes.
This database allows you to compare the current millage rates in any Michigan county.

You also can just look up the rates for your city, township or village, or compare the rates within your school district..."

Dick's Sporting Goods Gets Hit with Brutal Consequences for Pushing Gun Control

Dick's Sporting Goods Gets Hit with Brutal Consequences for Pushing Gun Control:

"Dick’s Sporting Goods better hope the gun control crowd buys a lot of sneakers.
The Pennsylvania-based retailer has been lapping up a lot of free publicity from the mainstream media thanks to its over-the-top response to February’s mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
But its turncoat activism against the Second Amendment rights of American citizens is starting to hit hard in the business world."

Connecticut state Senate passes bill giving electoral votes to presidential candidate who wins popular vote | TheHill

Connecticut state Senate passes bill giving electoral votes to presidential candidate who wins popular vote | TheHill:
"The Connecticut state Senate on Saturday voted in favor of a measure to give the state’s electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the popular vote.
The move puts the state in a position to become the 11th, in addition to Washington, D.C., to join an interstate compact to pool their Electoral College votes for the candidate who wins the popular vote.
...Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy is expected to sign the legislation, according to the report.
With the addition of Connecticut’s seven electoral votes, the compact would have 172 in total.
For the compact to go into effect nationally, it would need 270 electoral votes – the number needed for a candidate to win the presidency.
The nationwide effort to form the compact gained traction after George W. Bush won the 2000 presidential election without winning the popular vote and took on new life after the 2016 election.
President Trump won the Electoral College, but Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes."

The Consequences of Historical Ignorance

The Consequences of Historical Ignorance:

"Americans should be outraged that our schools have failed to teach even the most basic historical facts to the younger generations. Worse, the education they receive has often only turned into a justification for superficial social activism, lacking in depth and veracity.
David Hogg, the teen survivor of the February school shooting in Parkland, Florida, who became a gun-control activist, exemplifies this worsening problem. He recently tweeted:"
