GEORGE KORDA: “If the University of Tennessee, Knoxville campus follows the University of Cincinnati’s diversity and inclusion path, what might it mean for UT faculty, staff, and students, and even the university’s relationship with the Tennessee General Assembly?”

TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME: Anger at Georgetown professor over her MONTH-LONG foul-mouthed Twitter rant at Muslim ex-colleague who voted Trump.
A professor at Georgetown University went into an unbelievable foul-mouthed meltdown that lasted 31 days after a Muslim ex-colleague said she voted for Donald Trump.
C Christine Fair, an associate professor at the Center for Peace and Security Studies, was incensed after Asra Q Nomani, ‘lifelong liberal’, wrote an article about voting for Donald Trump as a Muslim immigrant.
That led to a month of abuse on social media – including insults and threats of lawsuits.
I love that she’s at the Center for Peace and Security Studies.

Plus, Tom Maguire emails:
Since you were early and accurate with your Obama administration prediction that “Jimmy Carter is a best-case scenario”, shouldn’t you be taking a Bold Stand on Obama’s likely behavior as an Ex-Pres?
I think “Jimmy Carter is a best case” will apply to Future Obama as well. And that was before this UN Security Council clown show.
I think that Obama will far surpass Jimmy Carter in both sanctimony and support to America’s enemies. I believe that he will set a new standard in awfulness for ex-Presidents. But sadly, I don’t think this counts as a particularly bold prediction.
