If you’re a right-wing student at UT, Columbia, etc, now is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity to get attention if you eventually want a job in conservative media, activism, and journalism. There’s got to be a few out there who might take advantage.

Funny how there are “student protests” but no “expert protests.”
What’s the opposite of an Ideological Turing Test? A student protest.

I am committed to the fight against antisemitism on campus, but I am concerned about the highlighted provisions in Governor Abbott's executive order, which instructs universities to "update free speech policies" to prohibit "antisemitic speech." How is such a policy different…
Many American Jews are frightened about rampant antisemitism on campus. But the DEI complex is fueling, not fighting, the ideology driving the Left's pro-Hamas faction. We should reject DEI in favor of a colorblind standard that protects everyone from violence. E pluribus unum.
The New York Times has mentioned Christopher Rufo more often in the last year than at least 4 cabinet officials (I didn't check them all) findinggravity.net/p/the-new-york…
With the help of @donoharm, @realchrisrufo, and the @ManhattanInst, the State of Iowa has kneecapped these ideological enforcement centers with some of the strongest DEI language in the country.
WINNING: Iowa legislators have passed a bill to abolish the DEI bureaucracy in all public universities statewide. We are smashing DEI, state by state, department by department. And we are just getting started.
@bryan_caplan I seem to recall reading somewhere that most of your hate mail comes from nativists.

The Harvard student paper proposes a plagiarism investigation of all Harvard faculty, in the interest of closing race and sex disparities. I fully endorse this project. Plagiarism justice now!

@MaxDemian36 We need a complete and total shutdown of the sociology profession until we figure out what the hell is going on.
As of November, 66% of the judges Biden appointed to the federal judiciary were women, smashing Obama's record of 47%. Also, 66% of the appointees were nonwhite, compared to 37% for Obama. The Obama team needs to confront its bigotry and explain why the numbers were so low.
BREAKING: University of Florida has fired all employees related to DEI. The conservative counter-revolution has begun.
@swinshi Sometimes an essay is better than a tweet for stuff like this
@bryan_caplan An amazingly good movie. Sociopath as journalist. Who woulda thunk it?
Go To Harvard and learn how to be succesful in life.
Dear Harvard: Abolish DEI. Adopt a policy of colorblind equality. Rebalance faculty politics. Wind down activist pseudo-disciplines. Sign the Kalven Statement. Do justice to Sullivan, Fryer, Hooven. Restore truth to the highest. Or we will keep coming after you, relentlessly. ⚔️
