BUREAUCRATIC MALFEASANCE: High Stakes in Florida: The Biden administration comes after New College and its conservative reforms, alleging specious civil rights violations.

The investigation was prompted by a complaint by ACLU attorney Jennifer Granick, alleging that the college’s trustees and administrators violated civil rights law by removing “gender neutral” signage from bathrooms, defunding the DEI and gender studies programs, and “misgendering” the former DEI director and a former student, who use “ze/zir” and “they/them” pseudo-pronouns, respectively. According to the complaint, these actions constitute discrimination “based on perceived disability and gender prejudice.”

As a tactical matter, the complaint is a clear attempt to disrupt the conservative reforms at New College, which represent a threat to the Left’s hegemony over higher education.

These arguments are specious and in bad faith, but that’s no surprise.

THE SICK MAN OF EUROPE: Germany’s Stop-Start Economic Motor Is Probably in Reverse Again.

Germany’s industrial malaise is probably acute enough to have dragged the economy back into a contraction during the current quarter, forecasters say.

A monthly survey by Bloomberg shows gross domestic product is now anticipated to fall 0.1% in the three months through September before retracing that deterioration toward year-end.

Economists previously saw stagnation this quarter.

Such an outcome would further highlight how the tables have turned. The country that was formerly Europe’s motor now finds itself braking its growth, wincing from the headwinds of poor demand in China and a lingering energy crisis.

Lingering? It’s self-inflicted.

WELL, YES: Socialism is Always and Everywhere a Scam.

MASSIVE RESISTANCE: Second Amendment Roundup: “He’s at it again!” Merrick Garland proposes ever-more intrusive ATF regulations.

PRIVATE SCHOOLS ARE NOT A DEFENSE:  EXCLUSIVE: Private Catholic School Quietly Introduces Social Justice Course, ‘Disguised as Religion Class,’ Required for Graduation.

Strangely they don’t seem to mean the very old Catholic concept of social justice, but the new meaning of the term.

IF YOU CAN AT ALL, GET YOUR KIDS OUT OF SCHOOL:  NJ teacher who resigned after posting ex-student’s nude pics is hired by another school: report.

DISOBEY ILLEGAL ORDERS; DISOBEY IRRATIONAL ORDERS; DISOBEY TYRANNICAL ORDERS:  Real pushback: Defiance from all sides to New Mexico’s unlawful suspension of the 2nd amendment.

THE FRAUD IN CHIEF OF THE US:  Biden’s 9/11 Speech in Alaska Was a National Embarrassment.

THE LEFT HAS BEEN AGAINST THE SECOND AMENDMENT MY ENTIRE LIFE; TURNING AGAINST THE FIRST HAS BEEN INTERESTING:  The Government Censored Me and Other Scientists. We Fought Back—and Won.

TRYING TO SAVE A DYING INDUSTRY BY GOVERNMENT FIAT ALWAYS KILLS IT:  Bill meant to save media would hurt new media more.
