That elsewhere is making cuts to the bloated core curriculum.
Not all of it, of course—sadly, colleges still have to remediate what K–12 fails to teach—but much of the excess could and should be cut.
Few issues in higher-ed get less attention than the growing time it takes students to earn a degree.
The average time to complete a bachelor’s degree in the U.S. is now five to six years.
That’s insane...
One reason for the delay?
Degree requirements are bloated.
A standard bachelor’s degree requires about 120 credit hours, but at least 25 percent of those are unrelated to the degree itself, and probably 10 percent are completely useless...
The U.K. is lost. Here's the latest in the trans movement, which is the most insane and disgusting thing we've heard (after 'gender-affirming' care for minors)
The post reads:
Let me repeat that: A British government employee wants adult biological men approaching school-age girls to ask them for accompaniment to a women's bathroom, on the grounds that this makes them less likely to be kicked out of them for not being a real woman because, as the thinking goes, they have a child vouching for their gender.
You have no idea how lucky we are to have won last November. We are so lucky.
After the International Court of Justice ruled this week that countries are required to cut emissions in the name of climate change, the White House gave a simple reply: “America first.”
Any decision from the court is non-binding, but far-left advocates are hopeful it will cause a chain reaction, leading to “domestic lawsuits” and “other legal actions,” according to the Associated Press.
In the order, the administration seeks to empower federal agencies to institute guardrails to “ensure a reasonable, balanced use of resources across collegiate athletic programs that preserves their educational and developmental benefits.”
The order also includes language about reining in NIL deals, and it instructs some of the largest athletic departments in college sports to maintain scholarship numbers for women's and Olympic sports...

The Democratic National Committee deleted the post after it was mocked on X.Eric Daugherty, /XThe White House rapid response X account seized on the post — adding a “Biden” label with two arrows pointing to the price jumps under the previous administration. Conservative podcaster Kyle Becker described the tweet as “one of the dumbest posts in @X history,” noting that the DNC deleted it “after getting ratioed into oblivion.”
Of all the fake “journalistic” blurts emanating from this bastion of degenerate sell-outs, “baseless” is the fakest, as if the word printed in a headline were so magically potent, the sheer assertion of it can make all your problems just — poof! — go away.
It’s the thought process of wicked children who fail to develop a sense of true or false, right or wrong, who grow into adults specially licensed, by some new perversion of the social contract, to get away with anything.
And those wicked children have become America’s managerial class, the elite who are supposed to do your thinking for you op-ed style, the credentialed experts, such as Tony Fauci, “economist” Paul Krugman, DEI avatar and NPR honcho Katherine Maher, Harvard law prof Lawrence Tribe. . . the list is interminable, but you get the picture...
“horrifying inequality” and even, according to Economist Joseph Stiglitz,
“accelerating climate change.”
People on the right generally defend capitalism, but today, a growing number agree with the left...
So it puzzles me that as markets continue to lift more people out of poverty, capitalism faces more attacks, even from the right.
“The problem,” says Lindsay, is “it requires people to be free … You can’t control people who are free … So we need to have a government system to tell them to do the right thing in the name of the common good. That’s the mentality.”
What did former President Barack Obama know about the Russia collusion hoax, and when did he know it?
In short, it looks as if he knew everything from the beginning, because it appears that he ordered it.
On Friday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released a 114-page PDF filled with declassified documents detailing the origins of what she said was a years-long, Obama-directed coup against President Donald Trump.
"My Administration will take a new approach focused on protecting public safety," the order reads.
The federal government will provide funding in order to prioritize "shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment."
Christian McGhee, 17, has secured a significant victory for free speech in North Carolina after the Davidson County Board of Education settled a case over his suspension for using the term “illegal alien.”
Christian received a three-day suspension for using the phrase while discussing word meanings during his English class at Central Davidson High School in Lexington on April 9, 2024.
A teacher gave the teen an assignment that used the word “alien,” and he asked, “Like space aliens or illegal aliens without green cards?”
After a Hispanic student in McGhee’s class “joked” that he was going to “kick Christian’s ass,” the teacher escalated the matter to Central Davidson’s assistant principal, Eric Anderson...
