Friday: Below the Fold

The conservative wins the media neglected, “The Problem of Whiteness” delayed, and more.

Cross-Examination

  • Conservative wins the media neglected: Tuesday’s election results held some good news for conservatives in areas that didn’t receive a whole lot of national attention. For example, Republicans will hold a 4-3 majority on the Ohio Supreme Court and a 5-2 majority on the North Carolina Supreme Court. Republicans gained a seat on the Illinois Supreme Court as well. Conservatives focused a lot more on local school boards across the country too. Perhaps out of negligence or apathy, these elections have tended to favor activist liberals for decades. National uproar over the indoctrination taking place in classrooms via CRT and gender confusion, however, has increased conservatives’ interest in fixing things. From Maryland to Michigan to Kansas and back to Florida and North Carolina, conservatives either captured majorities on school boards or came close. It will take just this sort of red wave to begin turning schools back toward education and away from indoctrination.

  • “The Problem of Whiteness” delayed: Protests led the University of Chicago to delay a course titled “The Problem of Whiteness” … for now. The instructor elected to defer the course until the spring quarter rather than beginning January 3. “This is how people who detest white people think and talk,” said one student. “And they have taken over all universities under the guise of ‘academic freedom.’ No sane professor can oppose it without risking their career.” It’s certainly free speech to offer such a blatantly racist course. But we don’t recall hearing too much about courses titled “The Problem of Blackness” or “The Problem of Gender Dysphoria.” And we probably won’t, either.
