They Let Revere Go — Minding The Campus

6 days ago | mindingthecampus.org | David Randall

Of course, Paul Revere was a hero as he rowed and rode to alarm the countryside around Boston: “The British are coming! The British are coming!” (“The Regulars are coming out,” the staid historians tell us were his actual words.) So too were the much neglected William Dawes and Samuel Prescott. We owe our independence and our liberty to their pluck and bravery.

The Horse, My Contributor, Is Dead — Minding The Campus

2 weeks ago | mindingthecampus.org | Jared Gould

We’ve spent the better part of two months at Minding the Campus (MTC) hammering home the same truths: anti-Semitism is rising, “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) is corrosive, and wokeness is warping our universities. These arguments are important—and true. But we’re beating a dead horse. If our goal is to clarify, win back institutions, and draw new readers into our orbit, we can’t keep repeating the same points with only modest variations in tone.
A Neglected American Classic - Minding The Campus

2 weeks ago | mindingthecampus.org | Geoffrey Clarfield

Until the reelection of President Donald Trump, the conservative intellectual movement has been fighting a rearguard action-justly exposing the negative dynamics of wokeness, "diversity, equity, and inclusion," and Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions-and advocating for a return to the Great Books and liberal education. Given the pending shutdown of the nefarious federal Department of Education, there is hope that the Anglosphere-starting in the U.S.-will begin the return to educational sanity.

3 weeks ago | mindingthecampus.org | Samuel J. Abrams

In the winter of 2024, the U.S. Department of Education announced that an investigation is underway at Sarah Lawrence College (SLC) over its anti-Semitic environment. The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights wrote in a December 23 letter that it will examine “whether the College failed to respond to alleged harassment of students on the basis of national origin … in a manner consistent with the requirements of Title VI.”Now, SLC will have to answer to the U.S. Congress, too.
My Conversation with a 'Silicon-Based Alien' on Alien Life — Minding The Campus

For millennia, man has wondered whether he is alone in the universe. Organizations such as the SETI Institute (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence), founded in 1984, once employed more than 100 scientists, educators, and support staff in their quest to “explore, understand and explain the origin, nature and prevalence of life in the universe.” To date, they’ve come up empty.
